Love is an Assignment - Muyiwa Adigun

What happens when comedy, calling, heartbreak, and healing all meet at the crossroads of purpose? You get the story of Mr. Muyiwa Adigun—a multi-dimensional creative whose passion for family, wisdom, and emotional restoration has birthed transformative projects like Pelumi.

In this study note, we explore the identity, convictions, and counsel of a man who has turned personal pain into public impact, drawn from the rich conversation on Life Series.

1. Identity and Assignment: Living Beyond the Stage

Mr. Muyiwa Adigun is a storyteller, songwriter, movie producer, MC for the Imperial Majesty on the OIFA platform, and the visionary behind the Pelumi project. He is also a husband and father of four, deeply passionate about relationships and marriage. His core calling?

“My calling is To build families and entertain wisdom.”

He sees his various expressions—MC-ing, fashion, music, film—as interwoven into a divine assignment. His personal brand is a compound of purpose-driven creativity.

🔍 Insights:

• Your calling may manifest in multiple forms—embrace every expression as part of your divine assignment.

• Integration is possible when your identity is rooted in purpose.

• What you do (stage, music, business) becomes meaningful when you know who you are.

2. The Birth of Pelumi and the Revelation of Love

Pelumi was birthed after a difficult breakup. Muyiwa ended a long-term relationship, not because of external conflict, but because he received a conviction from God: He realized he had no divine instruction to be in that relationship and was "loving someone else's wife."

This painful obedience opened him to deep reflections and birthed love songs, stage ideas, and eventually the musical project Pelumi, inspired by watching a Catholic opera and a U.S.-based play.

🔍 Insights:

• Love is not just emotion; it's an assignment—divinely given and purpose-aligned.

• Obedience to God’s promptings may be painful, but it prepares you for divine platforms.

• Moments of loneliness can become seasons of clarity if you stay in God’s presence.

• Purpose-driven love produces more than personal happiness—it births healing for others.

3. Setbacks, Healing, and the Mindset for Growth

Muyiwa once faced public embarrassment during a stand-up comedy performance where the audience booed him off stage. But from that experience, he learned:

His passion for peaceful marriages came from growing up in a toxic home with constantly fighting parents. He intentionally prayed during his single years for wisdom in relationships—and now testifies that those prayers and principles have shaped his home.

🔍 Insights:

• Painful moments (even on stage) are temporary and do not define your worth.

• Emotional wounds from childhood can become driving forces for healing others.

• Preparation for marriage starts long before marriage—it begins with prayers and intentional growth.

• Speaking life (confessions) matters—negative words, even from parents, can shape generations.

4. The Three Phases of Purposeful Growth: Dew, Rain, and Flood

Mr. Muyiwa outlines three progressive levels in walking with God and stewarding vision:

🌱 Dew (Small Feet)

The early stage, where God gives you subtle glimpses and hidden deposits of what you will become. It builds confidence and character quietly.

🌧️ Rain (Visible Impact)

This is the recognition and mastery phase. You start seeing fruit from your diligence, and others begin to notice the grace upon you.

🌊 Flood (Overflowing Vision)

This is the stage where the assignment grows into large-scale expressions—like Pelumi, requiring deep structure, people, and planning.

He emphasizes that you can’t skip levels. Also, waiting for full clarity or public validation can delay destiny.

🔍 Insights:

• Respect the process—each phase prepares you for the next.

• The Dew season is hidden but foundational—don’t despise it.

• Impact comes in layers; visible rain comes after silent faithfulness.

• Stop waiting for perfect clarity—little obedience activates bigger revelations.

• Public affirmation should never replace divine confirmation.

5. Relationships and the Fulfillment of Purpose

According to Muyiwa, the person you marry influences up to 90% of your ability to fulfill destiny. The wrong relationship can blur vision, steal peace, and open the door to destructive thoughts.

His focus on women in ministry flows from a generational revelation that women are foundational in raising legacies. He references Mary, Solomon’s mother, and the Proverbs 31 woman—women who shaped kings and destiny.

🔍 Insights:

• Who you marry affects your destiny—choose purpose over pressure.

• Peace in a home multiplies productivity; conflict drains creativity.

• Women carry generational impact—raising sons and shaping kings.

• A home rooted in wisdom is a launchpad for purpose, not a distraction from it.

6. Counsel to Single Ladies Waiting on God

Mr. Muyiwa offers these profound principles to single women desiring marriage:

✨ Work & Hospitality

Those who love to serve, build, and work with joy are often positioned to be seen and remembered.

✨ Kindness is a Seed

Like Ruth, consistent acts of kindness become testimonies others will speak about—even your future spouse.

✨ Visibility

Don’t hide your goodness. Sometimes God’s instruction is to “show up,” be present, and shine in community.

✨ Confession & Mentorship

Speak life over your expectations. Also, seek wisdom from happily married mentors who can show you new perspectives.

🔍 Insights:

• Keep working in love; don’t put your life on pause for marriage.

• Kindness is prophetic—it speaks louder than words and attracts destiny.

• Obedience may include being visible in community, not just private in prayer.

• Confess the future you expect, and stay accountable to mentors who reflect it.

• The best preparation for marriage is becoming the kind of person who adds peace and joy to another’s life.

7. What’s Next: The Pelumi Web Series

Mr. Muyiwa is set to release the Pelumi Web Series; a production of international quality focusing on relationships, university love stories, marriage, and music.

He’s also the author of:
📘 Dear Single Ladies
📘 120 Quotes on Wisdom

🔍 Insights:

• Your next level may come wrapped in obedience today—start where you are.

• Use every platform God gives you—songs, books, plays, series—to advance healing and wisdom.

• When love, purpose, and creativity intersect, transformation happens.

Final Reflections: Let Purpose Lead Your Love and Life

Mr. Muyiwa Adigun’s journey is a powerful reminder that obedience births clarity, and purpose filters relationships. Whether on stage, in marriage, or behind the scenes writing scripts, his story teaches us to trust God with every layer of our lives.

• Are you obeying the small nudges God is giving you now?

• Are you loving within your divine assignment?

• Are you preparing for what you’re praying for?

The seeds of your purpose are already inside you. The Pelumi in you is waiting to be born.
