Let us be honest, Mount Zion movies/series held us spellbound as children. A lot of their movies caused us nightmares. Thankfully, as adults, we can have a good laugh at what made their movies scary.
On this day, we do a throwback to these Mount Zion movies that made us fearful:
1. The Ultimate power(aka Ayah matangah)
The Village of Muwonleru is besieged by an amalgamation of several forces of darkness with their earthly representative, Isawuru, a powerful herbalist wielding enormous powers for oppressing the villagers until a young couple of missionaries showed up with God’s mandate to declare Jesus Christ as the Saviour and Deliverer from the powers of darkness. The battle line was drawn and the tussle began.
The essence of the movie was to point to Jesus as the ultimate power.
2. Esin Ajoji (The strange religion)
A king brutally killed the missionary that brought the gospel to the land of Agbayun alongside all those who believed in Jesus. Several years later, The Prince who was delivered of an agelong curse on Princes, brings back the gospel to Agbayun and confronted the gods of the land, though the battle’s fierce but victory is of the Lord.
Again, the movie’s essence was to point to Jesus as Lord.
3. The gods are dead
A missionary who was initially sent out of the village Bode Ajuwon was caught eating the food sacrificed to the gods on behalf of the King’s ailing prince. The prince died, and the priest wants the missionary to sacrifice to appease the gods but the missionary challenged the priest and his gods to a battle of supremacy with Jesus Christ, the Lord of Host. Yet again, the movie’s essence was that Jesus is Lord of all.
4. Captives of the mighty
She suffered several miscarriages because a spiritual husband claims to be her lord with pieces of evidence of children. She runs to Jesus and in oneness with her husband, they confronted and defeated this evil being that made her marriage a nightmare.
After watching this movie, the next prayer point is for God to deliver somebody from spirit husbands.
5. Apoti Eri
The king of Iremoje is terribly sick and requires a young boy for rituals to redeem his life from death, the boy kidnapped became unusable because he carries the power of God on his inside. The boy ended up ministering healing to the king in the name of Jesus, only to discover later that the king is actually his grandfather.
The movie illustrates the power of forgiveness and reconciliation.
