Actor and content creator Kamo State has opened up about a recent personal setback that led him to withdraw from public life for three days.
In a post on Instagram on Thursday, the skit maker said the experience was a turning point, strengthening his reliance on God. He shared that the emotional pain led him to isolate himself, something unusual for him and he found comfort in gospel songs by BBO and Grace Idowu.
“Recently, I experienced a profound disappointment. It was a turning point, solidifying my reliance on God, not humans. The pain was intense, leading me to isolate myself for three days, something completely out of character for me. During the 3 days, I found solace in @officialbbo_ & @gracee_idowu songs. I couldn’t pray, only cry, questioning God about the nature of humanity, despite all the sacrifices,” he wrote.
Kamo State added, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6) This period of reflection brought a powerful message that God often allows us to feel helpless before sending the right help. I’ve also forgiven the person who disappointed me because God wants us to forgive so we can receive our own blessings too. Some of the times we show up online as a creative, we are battling our own too. This experience has ignited a new confidence in myself, my dreams, and my journey. I am now fearless. We just hit 1 million organic followers on Instagram too! God is faithful, He won’t brought me this far to ignore me, He will see me through, wipe away my tears, and rewrite my story, ensuring I am not a subject of mockery or shame. This is a new chapter, a chapter of God’s takeover. Watch this space!”
