5 Deep Lessons from the Movie Is This Love? That Will Leave You Thinking - May, 2025

Is it really love… or just tradition in disguise?

That’s the soul-searching question Is This Love? — the latest Christian film from EVOM Films — dares to ask. Set in a royal household and wrapped in culture, this drama pierces through appearance and dives deep into identity, purpose, love, and divine timing.

If you’ve ever felt trapped between expectation and calling, or wondered whether what you’re feeling is truly love, this movie will stir something in you.

🎬 Who Produced Is This Love?

Is This Love? is the handiwork of Shola Mike Agboola, a prolific Christian drama minister, screenwriter, and founder of EVOM World Network. Under his leadership, EVOM Films has released multiple award-winning Nigerian gospel films known for biblical depth and excellent storytelling.

📝 A Quick Summary (No Spoilers)

Is This Love? follows the dramatic journey of a royal child whose life is wrapped in mystery, heartbreak, and divine prophecy. What starts as a traditional royal affair unravels into a spiritual story of purpose, legacy, and love’s true meaning.

Without revealing too much: the plot challenges assumptions, confronts identity, and reveals how God orchestrates destiny — even when it looks like delay, rejection, or abandonment.

🙌 5 Deep Lessons from Is This Love?

1. Your Identity Is Not a Mistake

Like Morire, many people carry labels that God never gave them. The film teaches that God’s view of you is greater than your background or your birth story.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…” – Jeremiah 1:5

2. Purpose Is Bigger Than the Palace

Not everyone in authority understands the weight of destiny. The movie shows how purpose often emerges through rejection and obscurity, not popularity or titles.

“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” – Psalm 118:22

3. Pain Can Birth Purpose

Several characters experience deep personal pain — but those very struggles open doors to understanding God’s plan. If you’re in a dark place, this film reminds you that God works through brokenness.

“All things work together for good…” – Romans 8:28

4. God’s Timing Is Always Right

Even when the wait seems endless, God never arrives late. The movie captures the silent years, unanswered prayers, and confusing delays that lead to divine fulfillment.

“Though it tarries, wait for it…” – Habakkuk 2:3

5. Love Is Not Always What You Expect

The film’s title is the ultimate question: Is this love? What you’ll find is that real love often sacrifices, submits, and aligns with God’s will, even when it breaks tradition or culture.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13
