How God told me to leave my comfort zone in U.S. to come assist the poor in Nigeria – Actor Williams Uchemba
Popular actor and philanthropist, Williams Uchemba has stated that he was told by God to leave his comfort zone in the United States to free the people of Nigeria from poverty.
The movie star took to his Instagram page on Thursday to share a lengthy and revealing piece of his journey from the US back to Nigeria.
The ‘Merry Men’ actor said he left the luxury of California after he got a “clear and sound” instruction from God to come home with the mission of helping Nigerians out of poverty.
Uchemba who started as a child actor said: “I hate to break this to you but majority of the time God’s plans look nothing like what you have planned for yourself, Let me tell you this little story,” he wrote.
“Few years ago, I was laying in my bed in California when I got an instruction, very clear and sound instruction from God to go to Nigeria and free people from poverty, at first I acted like I didn’t hear because in my head God can’t tell me to leave the beautiful life he has given me and the little savings I have to enter the slums in Nigeria and help strangers I don’t even know, one might ask how does God even talk to people?.
“The voice was constant for weeks so in other not to act as though I am disobeying I started helping some few white people in the streets of Los Angeles (still have some of the videos in my page) but I noticed that the more I do that the more i feel guilty, empty and out of line from God’s plan because it was not what I was instructed to do.
“It took me 2 months to finally agree to travel to Nigeria and immediately I landed in Lagos from nowhere a heavy compassion for the less privilege quadrupled in my heart, I was thinking God will give me billions as he has asked me to help people but instead of money he gave me a heart of compassion for the poor and before I knew it I started to empty my account to help people.
“You don’t help people because you have to, you help people because you want to and feel their pain and God who sees your heart will provide what you need to give.
“Whenever God gives you a VISION he makes PROVISION for it, and because our ways are not God’s ways what you might think is the right way might be the opposite for God. The only reason the platform is given is to the fulfill the Purpose of God.”
