I defecated on my Trousers

It was a great occasion for the houseflies as the ugly aroma from my buttocks gave them a pleasant invitation. The sad lullaby they hummed made me more furious, but they certainly were enjoying the sudden emergence of feces from my anus into my trousers. It was along hard battle trying to keep the feces in, till I got home, but for the benefit of perhaps the flies, I lost and the disgrace came in a grand package. Well, to defend myself, I have been suffering from diarrhea for a while now and each time I hear the alarm in my anus, I go straight to the toilet. Each victory was good news and an encouragement, but this time, I lost.
Sad pathetic story that is a picture of the walk of some of us struggling with an addiction which is a war with several battles. Sometimes we win, other times; we defecate on our body and become messy. Addiction is just like a rope around the neck of a goat tied to a tree. The goat can experience a pseudo-freedom as long as it stays within the circumference that the rope permits. But the moment it tries to go beyond that limit, it gets drawn back. No matter how much the goat tries to gain freedom, its efforts will always end in futility. Somehow, many of us have struggled to gain freedom, but we couldn’t which made some fall into the error of “no one is perfect, God will help all of us”. Until the goat allows its owner to remove the rope, it cannot gain freedom. We must allow god to deliver us from every form of addiction by surrendering to Him in sincerity and allow His strength to flow out in our weakness (es). As such, our weakness is the strongest point of our life if we surrender it to God so that His strength can flow.
Many of the people that saw feces on me with flies celebrating the birth of a new niche covered their nose and shook their  head, while some ran away to spread the “good news”. Well, I don’t blame them or how would you explain how a corps member defecated on his clothes? I had no choice than to hide myself from them though I still had feces on me.
When we check the scriptures, we will discover that stones were used to either build houses or kill prophets. As lively stones, we belong to either of these groups. While some are engaged in the spiritual process of building lives, others are partnering with the devil to bring down lives. One of the fascinating stories of the bible was that of the woman that was caught in the act of adultery and a call came for stones to kill her. Here was a woman at the mercy of Jesus or judgment of stones. The reply of Jesus prevented the stones from flying. God committed a ministry of reconciliation into our hands and not that of a police force. We must all know that we are on a battleground and if your fellow soldier is wounded, your duty is to help him up and treat him, but what we do is to kill wounded soldiers around us. Be committed to reconciliation, re-establishment, re-affirming just like the Lord commanded us to do.
Next time you see someone with feces on his/her body, get water to clean it up. Do not spread the news, it is not good news; my experience is a scar…

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

EndSARS: Prophetic Intelligence

  Some moments ago, the LORD reminded me of the things He shared with me during the protests. As usual, when I hear of an event in Nigeria or on the global scene, I would go to God for prophetic intelligence. I have always shared how that prophetic (spiritual) intelligence is the highest form of reality. When we seek God's counsel about an issue in our life, family or work, we are seeking prophetic intelligence. If we seek it for different issues in our life, how much more would it be of greater premium when we seek it for happenings in our nation. The ENdSARS protests started without any prior notice. There was no signal to it in the physical and it gathered momentum within days so much that many were surprised that Nigerians could stand up for their right. As the protests were going on, I went to God to find out His thoughts about the protests. In following God in the last days, many have missed the trail because they arrange things based on the knowledge of good and evil. We...
