I wish I was there when I was born

I was in my room one afternoon when a thought came into my travelling mind: I wish I can remember what happened to me when my mum gave birth to me. I tried to imagine the things that happened to me on that day. Many were good, but sincerely, some were in fact horrible.
One of those things I imagined was how fragile I would be which will make people cherish and carry me with extra care. Everyone would want to carry the little boy and feel the latest work of the Almighty. Any slight sound from me would call for many attentions as all eyes were on me. Some would dance around me, some would just laugh and chat beside me. Kids would fix their gaze continuously on my face as if on it lies the latest playground.
Some more wonderful things that would happen to me then was that I would be the recipient of kisses from everyone: young and old. Some men would even throw me up. While all these are going on, the only thing I would see on my face is a smile.
For goodness`s sake, why would I be smiling when different kinds of hands: clean and dirty are carrying me, different types of mouths are kissing me and some strange men throwing me up like a dolly and am still smiling. I felt like walking right into the scene and give myself a dirty slap, but a thought stopped me.
The only reason why I was cherished, kissed thrown up and cared for was because they all considered me to be an innocent being. They knew that I don`t have any grudge against anyone of them and that made all of them free with me.
God wants us to retain our innocence even till a very old age. Jesus asked us to be like children whose mind are always!

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...

Nine Years As A Scribe

So, last night, I was meditating about the things that God is doing in this times and it dawned on me that we are in a period where our minds are being bombarded with images, video and text. We are in the greatest period of media height. Everywhere you turn, you see something waiting for your mind to feed on. You're not free at any point in time from the floods coming from the various platforms. Majority of the contents in recent years are immoral and the cry for biblically sound and creative content has been going on for some years. Thank God for the success that we have recorded in the past few years. The media is being used to project several images into our minds. I did a small social experiment last month. I was speaking to a group of young boys in a school about Bobrisky. I asked how many of them would like to be like him and no one raised hand. Then I changed the question and said that if I tell you that I would give you 1 million every month and all I want from you is to be...
