For years, Majid Michel captivated audiences with his commanding performances and charismatic screen presence. But behind the lights and cameras, a deeper transformation was unfolding, one that would eventually lead him to trade film scripts for the pulpit. The former Ghanaian actor and heartthrob didn’t just take a break from acting, he walked away from a celebrated career to follow a higher calling. “I left acting because deep down, I knew I wasn’t just playing roles, I was running from something inside me.” What seemed like harmless roles on screen began to feel heavier with time. Even his church noticed the tension between the man on the screen and the man inside. “Every time I played the bad guy, my own pastor would look at me and say, ‘Michael, when are you coming to church for real?’ That stuck with me.” Those simple words began to echo in his soul, making him confront not just the characters he portrayed, but the inner restlessness he had long ignored For Majid, acting gave him fame—but preaching gave him purpose. “I wasn’t just pretending to fight evil on screen, I was struggling to fight my own calling. God was calling me to something deeper, something honest.” The transition wasn’t easy. Acting allows multiple takes and do-overs. But preaching? That’s raw truth, no edits. “Acting had too many takes, but preaching hits the heart in one shot. No second chances.” That truth, the unfiltered kind, was what his soul was hungry for. Now, as a minister and motivational speaker, Majid Michel spends his days sharing messages of hope, faith, healing, and transformation. “I get to share peace, give hope, and live a life that heals others.” He’s no longer reading from a script. He’s living a purpose. “I gave up the script and picked up the sermon, and I’ve never looked back. It’s been the most fulfilling role I’ve ever taken.” Majid’s journey is not just a career change, it’s a testimony. A reminder that sometimes, what looks like giving something up is actually stepping into something greater. And that when God calls, even the brightest spotlight can’t compare to the light of divine purpose.
