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...

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...
