In a heartfelt confession that’s striking a deep chord with many, beloved Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja is opening up about her faith journey, broken expectations, and the divine encounter that changed everything. “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but God is real,” she begins. It’s not just a cliché. It’s a hard, earned truth from a woman who once thought she had life figured out. Sharon admits she was in a season where everything seemed to be falling into place, career, finances, beauty yet something still felt missing. “People assume that being beautiful means you’ll have it all. But I kept telling God, ‘You’ve given me work, financial stability, there’s just one thing missing, marriage.’” The Desert Encounter That Shifted Everything While on a filming trip in the desert, Sharon experienced a moment that would mark her forever. “I had a profound encounter with the Holy Spirit,” she recalls. “I remember being told, ‘Leave your burdens here, where they will never grow.’” It wasn’t just a whisper, it was a divine interruption. A moment of surrender where she laid down the control she didn’t even realize she was gripping so tightly. “Before I got married, I used to feel like I was playing God. I thought I knew it all.” The Bible verse came alive for her: “He traps the wise in the snare of their cleverness” (Job 5:13). In her own words, God stripped her of pride, perfectionism, and plans—and in exchange, gave her purpose, peace, and a partner beyond her dreams. What followed was a miracle. “God answered me and exceeded my expectations maritally.” Sharon didn’t just get married, she met someone who matched her in faith, character, and destiny. “He gave me the best husband in the world.” This testimony isn’t just about romance, it’s about *what happens when you release your timelines and trust God’s process. It’s about how God can make you look foolish to the world, and still crown you with wisdom in a twinkle of an eye. To those who feel overlooked or stuck in a season that seems slow, Sharon’s story is a reminder to stop striving and start surrendering. “You might look foolish in man’s eyes,” she says, “but God can make you look wise in a twinkle of an eye. Trust Him.”
