Nollywood actress Jumoke Odetola also known as Miss Gargantuan has announced a major change in her life, revealing that she has entered a new spiritual season and is now a minister of God.
The actress, known for her work in Yoruba-language films and television, made the revelation in a recent social media post after noticing that her recent activities had raised concerns among friends, family members and colleagues.
According to Odetola, the calls and messages were not because anything was wrong with her. Rather, she said she was responding to what she described as a new calling from God.
Here are five things the actress shared about the new chapter of her life.
1. Jumoke Odetola Is Now A Minister Of God
The biggest revelation from Odetola’s post was her announcement that she is now a minister and preacher of the gospel.
“I am now a preacher of the gospel. Yes! You heard right! A minister,” she wrote.
The actress made it clear that this is not simply a change in the type of content she shares online. She described it as entering a completely new season with God.
Odetola has spoken publicly about her faith before. In a 2025 post, for instance, she turned to prayer while discussing issues surrounding social media, asking God for the grace to avoid burdens that were not hers.
Her latest announcement, however, takes that public expression of faith into a different direction as she says she now has a calling to preach the gospel.
2. Her Recent Posts Made People Worried
Before explaining the reason behind her recent posts, Odetola acknowledged the concern they had caused among people close to her.
She said friends, family members and colleagues had reached out through calls and messages to ask questions such as, “Are you okay?” and “Is everything alright?”
Rather than dismissing their concern, the actress appreciated them for checking on her.
“I truly appreciate the numerous calls, messages & concerns of my friends, family, colleagues,” she said.
She added that their reaction made her feel loved and cared for.
“Thank you so much. I feel seen, cared for and loved.”
Her response suggests that the people around her had noticed a change in her recent posts and wanted to make sure she was fine.
3. She Insists Nothing Is Wrong With Her
Odetola was also quick to address the concern surrounding her.
“Something is going on in my life… but nothing is wrong with me,” she explained.
For the actress, what people were seeing was not a personal crisis but a spiritual transition. She described it as entering “a new season with God” and connected that season directly to her decision to become a preacher.
The clarification on the actress’s part was important because her announcement appeared to come after people had already noticed changes in her recent online activity. Rather than leaving room for speculation, Odetola chose to explain what was happening in her own words.
4. She Considered Keeping Her New Calling Private
Odetola also revealed that she had initially considered keeping the development to herself. She said she had been contemplating whether she should be private about her new calling.
But she eventually decided that hiding it would not make much sense.
“How can I be private about preaching the gospel when you could just see me on your street with my bell preaching the gospel?” she asked.
That statement gave a glimpse into how seriously she appears to be taking the new role. Instead of waiting for people to discover her preaching activities through videos or other reports, Odetola decided to announce the change herself.
“Let me bring myself out before anyone records me & bring me out,” she added.
5. She Asked For Prayers In New Season
Odetola ended the announcement with a request for prayers.
“I need all the prayers in this new season,” she said.
In the caption accompanying her post, she repeated the request and added a statement that captured how she views the calling:
“When God compels you, you may delay, but you cannot escape the call.”
The statement suggests that, for Odetola, the decision to preach is something she sees as a response to divine prompting rather than simply a personal choice. Her announcement therefore marks what she describes as a new chapter, in which her work as an actress will now exist alongside her stated calling to preach the gospel.
Conclusion
Jumoke Odetola’s announcement has given her followers a different side of the actress, as she openly speaks about a spiritual calling that she says she can no longer keep private.
From addressing concerns about her recent posts to declaring herself a preacher of the gospel and asking for prayers, Odetola has made it clear that she sees this period as a significant new season in her life.
For now, the actress says she is answering the call in the way she believes she has been compelled to and she wants those around her to pray as she begins the journey.
