My 25th Birthday Thought


When I read the comments of people concerning my life, I sat back to introspect and see if I really measure up to the level that people have placed me. It's my 25th birthday and I have been privileged to serve in offices that command honour and respect. While in college, my classmates that call me by my name without putting the title- Pastor are very few. Right from 100L till 400L, I held 7 offices which were all "eye-catchy". My concern is this- am I being celebrated because I have held this offices or I am being celebrated because I really affected lives.

Many of the posts were tainted with the fact that I am very quiet, but yet they saw qualities to glean from my life. As an office holder, I had to reach out to people which was the last thing I can do within my ability. Everyone I have ever been a blessing to have been by Grace! It is so real to me. If God gives you an assignment, depend on Grace. A pastor said: "If you can calculate it, it's not Grace"

I gave my life to Christ when I was 19 years old. Over the 6 years, God has taught me that Christianity starts from knowing the Way, learning the Truth and living the Life. Growing up from a Christian home, I was shown the Way which I accepted at 19. I started learning the Truth. While learning the Truth, I found many people falling away. Some have stayed on learning without progressing while some backslided and began to say that God isn't real.

My friends, my life is very exciting because I have been experiencing the Living Christ. He is alive and real. No one can tell me that God is not real because I don't just know about Him, I live with Him. We chat and gist all day. Even when am asleep, He still reaches out to me. He is my friend.

If you just gave your life to Christ, learn about Him and press to become Him. It's so exciting!
If you have given your life to Christ, learn about Him and press to experience the things you are learning about.
If you're already experiencing the things you learnt, there is more. Keep pressing into God.

I am seriously pressing into God these days; the more I know Him, the more I get more interested. Keep pressing!

Amen brother. Powerful thoughts. It's true that sometimes many are given accolades based on the offices they held. It is important for every "office" holder, whether secular or spiritual, to accurately appraise himself or herself based on his/her perceived impact and not just on the praise of men. People can be sweet talkers you know especially during celebrations like birthdays. It's only normal that you say nice things on a person's birthday and even sound poetic if you are good with words.

In any case, you, my friend and pastor, has been a real blessing and I know I am speaking the mind of many others. Keep it up. Am glad I can "famz" you.

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...
