Entrepreneur Michelle Ntalami has said that she is celebrating this Christmas with a renewed sense of purpose and spirituality after recently recommitting her life to her Christian faith.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, December 25, 2024, Michelle shared how this holiday season feels different, now that she truly understands its deeper meaning.
For many years, Michelle admitted, she saw Christmas as little more than a cultural or commercial event. However, her renewed faith has transformed her perspective, allowing her to embrace the day with reverence.
“For such a long time in my life, I never saw the real meaning of Christmas Day.🎄 It always seemed like a social, cultural or commercial season. Until I personally came to know this man Jesus. Now I understand its meaning in a way I’ve never before. No other day in the history of mankind is more important than the day Our Lord Jesus Christ was born, the day He died for our sins, and the day He defeated death and rose again! ✝️” she shared
Michelle highlighted that the exact date of December 25 does not matter as much as the significance of Christ’s birth. For her, the celebration is about acknowledging the arrival of the Messiah and the love and salvation He brought to humanity.
“Here we are, celebrating 1 of 3 of those days. It doesn’t matter if December 25th is the exact day or not that He was born. What matters is that THE KING WAS BORN.👑 Our long-awaited Messiah! 🙌🏾 Imagine that; God Himself came in the flesh to this earth to save us all from eternal damnation. And for that, we rejoice forevermore! Not only today, but all year round! 🥳” Ntalami added.
Ntalami called on others to join her in celebrating Christ’s birth, urging her followers to reflect on the true essence of the day.
Ntalami’s encounter with God
On May 21, 2024, the Marini Naturals CEO celebrated nine months in her faith. Sharing her transformative experience on social media, she described how her encounter with God on August 21, 2023, set her on a path of spiritual renewal.
“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 exactly 9 months today,” she wrote.
Ntalami recounted the profound moments of her encounter, saying she heard a voice call her name three times and witnessed vivid visions.
“A thunderous, beautiful voice called my name ‘Michelle’ 3 times. He blinded me and threw me to the floor. At that moment, I knew I was in the presence of the Lord! God showed me visions and spoke to me about many things in my life. The depth of this entire conversation and experience cannot be put into words. I will share in time,” she shared.
