From humble beginnings on church drama nights to the world stage of international film festivals, Anwinli and Ohis Ojeikere—popularly known as The Winlos—are reshaping Christian entertainment as we know it. Their compelling mix of humor, theology, and cinematic excellence has transformed them from viral skit makers to global prophetic storytellers. Their latest film, Prophet Suddenly 3 (The Music Minister), is sparking conversations across the Christian world about sanctity, purpose, and accountability in ministry.

The duo first gained widespread recognition with their breakout skit God Told Me To Marry You, a viral sensation that amassed millions of views and was translated into several languages. But their calling goes far deeper than entertainment. In their latest production, Prophet Suddenly 3, The Winlos dive into the heart of music ministry, exposing hidden struggles behind the spotlight and urging a return to spiritual integrity.

“The inspiration came from a divine message,” says Ohis Ojeikere. “There’s a growing imbalance in ministry—a drift toward rebellion, greed, and self-promotion. This film is a prophetic call back to alignment with God’s will.”

While the movie is rooted in the realities of the music ministry, its message resonates with all who serve within the body of Christ. The lead character, a gifted yet fame-driven minister, mirrors a growing trend in modern church culture—where stage performance often overshadows spiritual depth. Through realistic storytelling and powerful scripture-based dialogues, Prophet Suddenly 3 challenges believers to re-evaluate motives and rekindle a sense of holy calling.

Notably, the film features respected ministers such as Pastor Lawrence Oyor and Prophet Joel Ogebe, whose spiritual depth added an authentic and anointed presence to the production.

“Their involvement was divinely inspired,” says Anwinli. “They weren’t just actors. They brought the presence of God to the screen. We believe people won’t just watch this film—they’ll encounter God through it.”

Though the timing of the film’s release coincides with heated public debates on whether music ministers should charge for ministry, The Winlos clarify that the film’s message was received and scripted months before the controversy arose—further affirming the prophetic nature of their work.

“We’re not just storytellers,” Ohis adds. “We’re prophetic voices. We don’t follow trends—we follow the Spirit. That’s why our projects often land right in the middle of pressing conversations in the church.”

The Winlos are no strangers to controversy. Their previous film, Prophet Suddenly, which exposed the rise of fake prophets, drew both acclaim and backlash.

“We faced criticism from those who felt personally attacked,” says Ohis. “But we also witnessed thousands of lives transformed. The backlash was less than 1% compared to the overwhelming testimonies of healing, repentance, and renewed faith.”

The couple believes their work is as much a ministry as it is art. Every script is prayerfully crafted, filtered through Scripture, and inspired by real-life experiences. Their studio, now operating as a full-fledged Christian film production house, is evidence of their growing influence and commitment to producing quality, Spirit-led content.

“We don’t just aim to entertain,” says Anwinli. “We aim to equip, correct, and revive.”

For The Winlos, Prophet Suddenly 3 is more than a film—it’s a mirror, a warning, and a call to repentance. It’s a bold reminder that ministry is not a business, but a divine calling—one that demands humility, obedience, and continual alignment with God’s heart.

“Whether you’re a pastor, a worship leader, a young creative, or someone trying to find your place in faith, this movie speaks to you,” they affirm. “It’s a message the Church needs right now.”

As their audience continues to grow across generations, denominations, and continents, The Winlos remain anchored in their divine assignment: telling God’s truth through film—one prophetic story at a time.

It’s worthy of note that the movie became the first Christian Movie to hit a million views after 48 hours.
