'God sanctified me!' Beauty guru Michele Ntalami reveals she's now born again

While taking to her Instagram page, the Marini Naturals founder shared a photo of herself dressed in all white with her arms appearing to be outstretched towards the heavens, revealing, for the first time, her intimate encounter with God and her decision to give her life to Christ.

In a lengthy post, Ntalami went on to reveal that her walk with Christ began nine months ago, after she encountered various unpleasant experiences with human beings and, eventually, hit rock bottom.

Signifying her new spiritual identity, Ntalami also deleted all her previous Instagram posts and began anew by sharing a Bible verse from Isaiah 43:18-19, captioned, “Welcome to the all-new Michelle Ntalami.”

She narrated: "On the 21st of August 2023, I had a life-changing encounter with God Himself. As an astute businesswoman, life was beautiful. However, behind the success lay a heart that was deeply wounded by different human experiences along the journey of my life. Being an empath, the hurt began to take a toll. Last year, I hit rock bottom."

"One night in total surrender, I cried out to God questioning His existence. In an instant I felt the most overpowering rush of love and light engulf me! A thunderous, beautiful voice called my name "Michelle" 3 times. He blinded me and threw me to the floor.

"In that moment, knew I was in the presence of the Lord! Then God said; 'Yes I am real. Yes I have seen your pain and I have been there through it all. Yes, I AM' Then, for about an hour, God showed me visions, and spoke to me about so many things in my life."

Ntalami went on to say that her absence on social media was occasioned by her conversion to the Lord's ways, adding that she would share the full extent of her conversations with God over time. 

"The depth of this entire conversation and experience cannot be put in words. I will share in time," she wrote. 

"God isolated and sanctified me, to this day. Hence my absence on Social Media. He even guided me when to go out to the world — exactly 9 months today."

Revealing that her life had now changed completely, Ntalami also said that she would do everything in her life solely for the glory of God, also revealing that she hoped that her story would save souls and touch many worldwide.

"What's different about me? A lot. First I fully gave my life to Jesus! Second, everything I do in my life including all my influence on social media, will all be for the Glory of God," she wrote. 

"Third, I will be on fire for God because He was on fire for me! So may I decrease as He increases. And as one of the visions He gave me, may my story save souls and touch the world!" 

Ntalami ended the treatise by quoting a simple bible verse: "Who the Son sets free, is free indeed... John 8:36."

Her revelation has attracted thousands of reactions with fans, friends and fellow celebrities heaping praises on her and congratulating her on her new journey.

Chef and former rapper Holy Dave wrote, "They say change is the only constant. Indeed, no one is perfect and you can't blame anyone for seeking change. Cheers to a new start!"

Beauty guru Susan Kaitanny wrote, "I'm really happy for you my sister. This is a beautiful new chapter for you. God bless you and walk with you my love."

Another fan simply said, "Welcome to the Lord's side sister! This is the best decision you've ever made! May the Lord guide you through! Amen!"
