I have always wondered if really the times for the coming back of Jesus is completely sealed from everyone. The Sunday school taught us clearly that nobody knows the time that Jesus would come back to take His people away from this world. We were often told that He could appear this night or before you wake up the next day. It was a beautifully fearful reason to walk uprightly. All that changed when I got to the University and my heart began to long for Jesus to come. Since then, I have heard several things about the coming of Jesus back again to this world. My thought pattern changed from "Jesus can come any time o" to "Jesus is not coming now joor" to "Jesus is almost here", which I currently carry. There is a basis for all these thought patterns, but I prefer to hold on to the last one. Two bible characters always puzzle me anytime I read or hear about them. They are Simeon and Anna. Quite unpopular in Sunday school. These two bible characters

When I got my call up letter for NYSC, I had many worries. I have never been to Northern Nigeria before, so this was the first time I would be leaving home for a very long distance like Plateau state. The excitement of going to serve my nation was high, but I had many worries. Worries are questions in our mind that we don't have answers to. I wondered how it was going to look like and I had no answer. Traveling don't excite me so, I avoid them as much as possible, but I couldn't avoid this and I didn't have enough finance to take a flight, so I had to board a bus. The position of my legs alone was enough to add to my many worries. Due to my 'traveling allergy', I decided that I would stay back and find my way out after the 3 weeks orientation camp. It was a great risk and I knew that. It gave me so many worries. Where would I stay after the camp? Who would feed me after the camp? What would happen after the camp? During the camp, my roommates kept on

Okay, it's December 10. All the suspense is over. Some people couldn't manage the suspense at all to the extent that they almost got angry when I refused to tell them about the day. Well, December 10 is finally here and I am very pleased to invite you all to celebrate with me. On December 10, 2015, I was in Mangu LG in Plateau state on NCCF assignment. I was in the room with Ariwayo Tosin, Dauda Ali Manu and Odoba Olajide. We were discussing about the website of the fellowship when I just felt it was time for me to also an online presence that is different from the social media accounts I already had. I tried opening a simple site, but instead of getting things work out, I was losing money. So, I decided to go for a space on blogspot. I opened a blog that night on my phone and like they say, they rest is history. The blog is 2 years old today and I am very grateful to God forvhow He has led me all the way. It has been exciting for me and a lot of my friends who are con

I am Folakemi Jeremiah Osokoya. I graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University in 2014. I was privileged to serve as the assistant welfare coordinator of the Chapel Youth Fellowship of All Souls' Chapel. There is a difference in the ease of walking with God on campus and outside campus. The atmosphere on campus wouldn’t let one loose touch with God though it’s still a personal decision. I had opportunities of hearing hard core words. Outside the University, I took three things very serious and they are His word, worship and staying in the midst of believers. I noticed sometimes ago, people who used to be 'firebrand' / fellowship 'ogas' at least  they had children/ unit member / follow ups to do then in school sha. After school, their stand is not always known again, they too mix the world with the Word and 'flex' as the world is flexing. They could still be on the 'path' but, what they could not do in school or what they talked against, they no

Hmm, what has kept me in the faith after my school. This is actually a simple but difficult question. Actually, several things have helped to keep me growing in the faith after campus but I will love to keep it as simple as possible. Presently I can think of five major, they could be more than that but these are the ones I obviously employ for my personal spiritual growth. 1.Desire, Diligence and Hunger to Grow: I understood from scriptures that, at new birth I receive the nature of God that has the ability to love God. This nature of God which is the Holy Spirit create a void for God on the inside and help me to want to know God more. However, the Holy Spirit is a perfect gentleman who will not force me to respond to this promptings, but without due diligence to keep this fire of this desire burning, it may go off with time, that's why the Bible warned me in Romans not to quench the fire of the Spirit. More so, I realized that, for every growth, there must be feeding and

'A man that lives without discipline will die without honor' is my favourite quote of all times. This quote explains why I don't compromise discipline, no matter the ecstasy of the moment. Olusola Femi Isaac popularly known as Ayanfeoluwa hails from oyan in Osun State, He gave his life to Christ on the 9th of may 2008 in an Holy Communion Service of the RCCG Northern Workers and Ministers Conference in Jos Plateau State. Prior to this time, he had been a church boy but the truth of the cross was not clear to him. In 2009, he was admitted to SLT Dept of Federal Polytechnic Ede in Osun State, Southwest Nigeria to study Microbiology. He joined Gospel Students Fellowship on campus. In 2010, he became the bible study and Academic coordinator of the fellowship. In the year 2013 he became the fellowship President as well as the Joint Christian Campus Fellowship (JCCF) Bible Study Coordinator. Ayanfe enjoyed the faithfulness of God in combining the spiritual responsibilities

My name is Ibitola Adesola olutola. I graduated from the University of Ilorin, Kwara State in 2015. When I was on campus I attended Methodist Campus fellowship (MCF). I joined the fellowship from my first year. I was made an executive in my second year and I remained an executive till final year. The post I held then was Bible study coordinator from my second year till my final year. I was also the worker's secretary from my third year till my fourth year which was my final. Also, I was also the final year brethren coordinator. After I graduated in 2015, I felt as if I was free from the many responsibilities, but I was wrong because not too long I realised that my spiritual development and walk with God has just started and I needed to do more. It is very easy to forget to study and pray, because I don't have responsibilities again. But I can say that by the Help of God, I have been able to improve on my spiritual life/walk with God on daily basis. When I was in sc

My name is Emmanuel Adelu and I graduated from Tai Sola University of Education in 2013. I attended CACYOF and I was privileged to serve as the Head of Technical Department. These are the things l do presently to keep myself with God: First of all, l want us to know that it's not by might, nor power, but by the Spirit of God (Zec 4vs6). We need to also know this; to keep oneself with God required a lot of discipline because, we must keep the body under the subjection of our recreated human spirit. Therefore, l do these daily: 1. When I wake up in the morning, l pray in tongues for at least an hour, sometimes l start my day with worship, sometimes l study for 40 minutes or an hour before prayer. There are times l engage in prayer walk on the street early in the morning, it doesn't stop here. 2. On my way to my place of work, it is either l'm praying in tongues or listening to anointed audio message or spiritual music. Also, whenever l'm free in the place of

My name is Aiyegbusi Joan Anuoluwa. I had my first degree in Kogi State University, Anyigba. I read Sociology. I attended the Nigerian Christian Fellowship of Evangelical Student (NIFES). It was the largest fellowship and till today, I feel the actual degree I got from KSU is not just the academic one but more importantly, a spiritual one. My life was not Complete without fellowship, I missed fellowship only a few times which may not be up to 5 times during my entire stay in school. Most days, when I returned home, there was so much burden to press on in prayer, the sermon geared. It was there I saw raw manifestations of the Holy Spirit, where men are slain under the Holy Ghost. God had invested so much in me. The fellowship had about 13 central executives,  by God's grace, I was the Drama coordinator. The 13 of us had retreats every beginning of a semester, we fasted and had executive meetings on Wednesday, we also wake up early to pray together in the early hours of the da

I am Odoba Olajide Clement, a graduate of the University of Ibadan. Upon my admission into the Nigerian premiere university, the news was shared with folks and was greeted with congratulatory messages. My Youth Fellowship President advised that I should join a spiritually sound fellowship on campus. Having enquired of the Lord, I had a release in my spirit to join the Anglican Students' Fellowship, where I later became the branch Vice President, President and National General Secretary. Maintaining a balanced life was arduous initially as juggling between academic, social, spiritual and other extracurricular activities was alien to me. I made sure I was serious with the things of God. So it could be said that I was on fire for God. The first semester ended, and like most freshmen on campus, I couldn’t wait to go home. I live a normal life at home. Second semester had started, and as a worker in the fellowship, you’re expected to resume early. It was Wednesday evening of the

My name is Bolaji Ifeoluwa O. I graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University in May 2016 and i was opportune to serve as the *sister's coordinator* of my fellowship (The Apostolic Church Student Fellowship of Nigeria). Serving God in that capacity twice opened up my mind to some essential routine requisite for consistent spiritual growth. All of which I still engage in till date. To keep myself alligned with God, firstly I ensure I pray daily, mind you not necessarily a long hour prayer like 10/12hrs (*smiles*) but I make sure my heart is always conversing with Him with my thoughts, I do "funny things" like asking how He wants my day to go and other seemly things. Hope you aren't wondering if I get responses because I do. Secondly, I read books and listen to messages which makes me stay focused and keeps me in check. Lastly, reading write-ups from mentors- men I respect and trust the grace of God upon their lives. This gives more light into certain issues and les

In Paul's letter to the Ephesians, he prayed that they may be able to comprehend with all the saints the dimensions of the love of God and know the love of God that surpasses knowledge, thus inferring that there are depths of the Christain life that we can only be experienced as a community. I'm Oluwamuyiwa Fasina, a graduate of Pharmacology from the University of Lagos where my Christain walk really started even though I was saved shortly before I got into school, I got baptised in the Holy Spirit while in 100l during one of the prayer meetings of my 'departmental' fellowship (Medical Science Students' Fellowship). The main fellowship I was with was The Redeemed Christain Fellowhip (RCF) where I served in the Bible-Study and Technical unit, I served as the Assisstant Academic Secretary and Assisstant Organising Secretary in my penultimate and final years respectively. I graduated in 2014 before proceeding for NYSC the following year in Jos, Plateau State. Th

As much as I spend a lot of time on the social media, I don't like trends. Trends can be very interesting and engaging. Twitter trends are more hilarious and educating than Facebook trends. Often times, I find many of the trends as distractions to what seems to be important to me at those times. In fact, some are simply antagonizing such that, they emphasize what I'm learning to ignore. Believers should get fascinated by the trends happening in heaven much more than the trends that take place in this region. I have been wowed on occasions when I get to know what is going on in heaven and compare it with the trends around here. Wouldn't it be interesting if we get to know the gists going on the Angels. Or the discussions between Abraham and maybe Joshua. What would they be thinking about in heaven currently? We must allow the things of heaven to fascinate us and fill our minds and thoughts. Even our God has thoughts which is available to anybody that is connected

Before I start sharing the stories of my friends, I will share something with you which I believe that anybody that decides to live out this principle will never know lukewarmness. I am a member of an interdenominational organization in Ibadan, Nigeria. It is a youth organization whose vision is to raise Godly leaders that will make global impact in their fields of assignment. We meet every week to pray and strengthen ourselves with the Word. Anywhere I find myself, I always get involved in the running of the organization because I know that labourers are always strong! You can not get to a market and see the people that helps with load looking weak and out of strength. They are always strong and eager to carry the load of customers either on their head or with their wheelbarrow. It's the same thing in the church. The people who are involved in the running of the church are always strong. In the organization I joined, I am a member of a unit meets twice a month. During

Just like I promised, this is the second part of my story of how the Lord has been able to keep my walk with Him fresh ever since I left the university. I must say this that I haven't attained, so I am still pressing just you are also. I will be sharing some things that I believe would help you to keep your walk with God fresh. So, sit back and let's enjoy this ride with the Holy Spirit. God brings encounters our way to energize is to follow Him more closely and more passionately, so encounters plays a major role in our walk with the Lord. Encounters can come through several ways. One way that the Lord brings encounters our way is through 'special programs'. Really, no program is special to God. His purposes may just be different from time to time. Attending programs is a way to stay informed about the things of the Spirit. Last year, I attended a program and the encounter of the meeting lasted with me for about 4 months. I couldn't just recover. There ar

One day during my final year, I was praying for the members of my fellowship when the Lord told me that I am investing into nations. I didn't get what He meant by nations as what I had in mind was just the members of my fellowship. You must know that there is a purpose of God hanging over your shoulder and fulfilling that purpose requires time. It takes time to fulfill purpose. Our walk with God is what determines if we will be able to fulfill the purpose or not. Following God is not a myth. It is real and you must know that there is only one way to keep up and that's through SACRIFICE. Following God is not an activity that is convenient. Right from campus, I knew that it is impossible to follow God at my convenience. Settle it in your mind. If you will follow God, you will inconvenient yourself because there won't be time to study or pray at all. We have been deceived if we think time will allow us to have fellowship with God. The only way out is sacrifice. Yo

A very heart warming event occurred in the taxi I boarded this evening. I would never have imagined what God had in plan when I entered the taxi that already had a woman with 3 children squeezing themselves to occupy just one seat. I would have helped to carry one of the children, but the last passenger in the back seat was not smiling, so I just squeezed myself between the woman with kids and the woman without smile. The children chatted without considering their inconvenience. My heart felt for them. Three kids and their mum squeezed up into a seat inside a taxi. I silently prayed to the Lord to reduce their hardship. They were dressed in Ankara and the smallest (the only girl) wore a beret. I guess they were going to church. It was as if the Lord was waiting for my silent prayers because He answered the prayers immediately. The little girl had been trying to lean out of her Mum's hand unto my chest, but Mum wouldn't allow her to discomfort the nice gentleman withou

Dear Friend, It's been a while. I took some days off because I got busy and had a number of things on my heart that I am not used to. Many things are happening in this times and I hope you are aware of the times and season. Last night, I began to think about how I use to be. I mean what my belief system looked like years ago. We have come a very long way in the faithfulness of God towards us and we must not forget what we looked like in the past. I remember how I wouldn't look into the face of any lady when I just believed because I didn't want to be stained. I almost fell inside a deep gutter as a result of this. Somehow, I thank God that I didn't have so much audience to listen to my 'revs'. My friend, don't make mockery of anyone that you perceive to have a lesser understanding of the word of God than you. Remember you have not always been like this too. I thank my teachers who patiently listened to my 'foolish' questions, but didn

Dear Friend, My very good friend. I am sorry I haven't asked about your family since I started writing to you. Hope they are fine? Recently, I noticed that many people around me had malaria and it's because the weather here is changing. The rain is stopping and the dry season is gradually taking over. In fact, we are experiencing what they caller 'shorter day, longer night' here. By 6:30pm, everywhere would have become so dark. I wouldn't know what is happening where you are. You know when they say that a person is experiencing the night season. It means things are not right for the person at that moment. It can be so terrible that he would think that that is all that will ever happen in his life. It would be hard for him to think that morning will ever show up. If you have ever had a painful reason not to sleep for a night, you would know that the night can almost last for ever. The night seasons of our life always look as if they would never go, yet it

Dear Friend, My good friend, hope you're not weary of my many letters to you. It's my love for you that is compelling me to keep writing to you. I still have many more things to write to you about. I want to remind you of a particular sermon that was preached in my fellowship when I was in 300L. I was shocked when the pastor took the microphone and he began to cry. I never knew pastors cry too. My curiosity was aroused when I saw him crying. I wanted to know why he was crying. Then, he made a statement: 'I have seen God'. Wow! What exactly did he see? I hope I will get an answer one day. That day, he preached about a man I have never heard of before. He told us about Nimrod who built a lot of cities like Nineveh, Rehoboth and all. He further compared Nimrod to Abraham who didn't build a single house not to talk of a city. He reminded us of the verse in Hebrews where Abraham was said to be looking for a city that God has built. My friend, Abraham signifi

Dear Friend, My dear friend, I am boiling with love for you this month and that's why I have chosen to wrote to you as often as I can. Nigerian celebrated her 57th independence recently and there were several encouraging words and calls for unity from our leaders. I would like you to know that there is more to ordinary planning that makes a nation to work. You would remember how we read the history of the church and how it affected nations like UK and USA. The light of Life affects the entire creation of God on which man is meant to rule. But we have a lot of alterations beginning from the treason of Adam. Presently, we have a lot of spiritual cities occupying many nations and enforcing their orders and structures over them. We must be aware of this so that we will know how to bring the culture of where we want into Nigeria. I pray that the Lord will raise us as men that can enforce His will in a very great measure in Nigeria. In the bible, we see many cities. Egypt, Sod

Dear Friend, My letter to you today is about something I recently observed. I believe you will agree with me that there are many things we can learn by observing. Observation brings many things our way. I observed something and I would like to share it with you today. The taxis in Ibadan are gradually wearing a new color. To someone that is new in Ibadan, the color would be something new, but to someone that has been in Ibadan for a long while it is not a new color. Ibadan taxis used to be yellow and brown, then it was changed to white with two green stripes. Now, they are back to the yellow and brown color. It think that color actually fits Ibadan, but the change brought some thoughts to my heart. Do you know that a lot of our friends have changed back to what they used to be just like Ibadan taxis? It's not a good news. People are now reducing the standard of the scriptures. There is a scripture I love so much in the book of Hebrews. Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of

Dear Friend, Hope you learnt from my last letter to you. It brings me joy each time I hear about the great things you're doing for God just like Paul, the apostle would say in his letters. I remember how we went from room to room to preach the gospel when we were on campus. I have always known that our journey in God is not a sprint, rather it is a marathon race that has a whole lot of experiences. The ups and the downs. It is part of the package my dear friend. I pray your heart will be encouraged by this particular letter. I remember how Rick Joyner explained the similarities between the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan and the journey of Christians into the fullness of Christ. It's all full of junctions. Some of this junctions may give us injuries that I hope you quickly turn into scars. Some give us fears. We even get ashamed at some points. Yes, it can be that bad. Guilt may also be around at those periods. Such experiences can be found on the way.

Dear Friend, My dear friend, my heart keep longing to write more and more to you. I believe you're getting my letters. Don't hesitate to write to me anytime the Lord lays a word in your heart for me. Some days ago, myself and some friends were cleaning the surroundings of a church. I wanted to spend time with God during the cleaning, so I separated myself and went to clean a place that was relatively quiet. People saw me from afar as I was working and some waved at me to encourage me. In my heart, I saw that I was enjoying the greetings more than the work I was doing for the Lord. It was so much that I began to long for more of the encouragements. It grieved my heart. I never knew I still had such tendencies within me. Jesus called it hypocrisy. Why would I choose to do a work so that people would see me and hail me for it? It's wrong. Many of these tendencies are so subtle that we would  often classify them as natural, but we must know that our God longs for a

Dear Friend, I feel pressed in my heart to write to you about this times. You remember how we use to be very hungry for the knowledge of the times and season when we were on campus. I still have that hunger and I hope you still have it too. Bible says that we see in part, so just in case you haven't seen what I am seeing, I want you to be aware. This times calls for us to be deliberate about our following Jesus. Remember that scripture that says that anyone that will follow Jesus must deny himself, daily carry his cross and follow Him. Now is the time for us to live out this instructions as the Lord is calling us to align with Him. There is so much deception in town and I hope you haven't been infected? We cannot take a part of our life away from the Lord as the Lord is calling for it all. He wants us to align with Him in every area of life. He says 'put your house in order' My friend, begin to arrange everything around you now because the Lord is close. Ou

Dear Friend, It's been a long time since I wrote to you. I have always had you in mind, though time has not been favorable, but today, I have decided to steal some time to write to you. All has been very well with me. Hope you have the same testimony too? Your music ministry nko? I want to tell you about what my playlist. I have seen several Christians advocate for some kind of music in recent times. Over time, there have been very serious arguments about the kinds of songs acceptable to God. Criteria like lyrics, tune and life of the artist have been the major yardsticks for differentiating between 'gospel' and 'secular'. You know I don't like arguments, so I mostly stay away from such discussions. When someone comes on the social media and says some songs are not good for the believer, people call him a hypocrite or 'holier than thou'. You must have been seeing such posts on Facebook. They way people abuse of Facebook these days, you would th

I have an habit that started when I was in final year. My parents have complained severally about it, but I couldn't stop it because I found so much pleasure in it. I do it whenever I'm alone because I really don't want anyone to see me when I am in it. Although, I often get caught. At times, my mum would call me aside and ask me why I am always do it, but I would just smile. She believes that it is not a good thing to do as a Yoruba person. Recently, I heard that some pastors also do this thing. Did I hear you say are we still brethren? Relax! Tap your heart and say all iz well 3 times. We are still brethren. Oya, let me confess. Anytime I pick up a bubbling word in my heart or when I get an invitation to preach in a place, I do rehearsals. After family night devotion, I would pick up my bible and start doing drama. I would firstly play the role of the host of a church and invite me and my humble self (....lol) to collect the microphone from the host. Then I wou

God has been calling my attention to our specific place in the body of Christ. The body has many members with different specific functions. The analogy that the Lord has brought to my heart is the arrangement of the natural Israel. The nation is divided into TRIBES, FAMILIES and HOUSEHOLD. We saw it in the case of Achan when he was to be identified. It was represented in another manner when Gideon was called as TRIBE, CLAN and FATHERS' HOUSE. The Lord says that the measure of time presently calls for every member of the army of the Lord to be able to identify his/her place so as not to break ranks as prophesied by Prophet Joel Joel 2:7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march EVERY ONE ON HIS WAYS, and they shall not break their ranks: Joel 2:8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk EVERY ONE IN HIS PATH: and [when] they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. We must walk accurately in this da

This morning, I remembered a woman that became a very hot cake among some circles about 7 years ago. She was popularly called Erelu. She claimed to be a very high ranked witch in Africa before she got saved. She also claimed to be the person that gave a lot of pastors and music ministers in Nigeria power. The most prominent was Bishop Oyedepo. I was few months old in Christ at that time, so I easily believed the claim and argued with my friends who were cautious about her. I wouldn't allow anything to stop me from believing. It's been 7 years and I still have some struggles listening to Bishop's messages even when it has been established that the woman lied. Truth always stand the test of time. I remember the part of the scripture that says if anyone makes a little one to sin, it would be better for the person to be drowned with a millstone tied to his neck. Whenever I see a post that mentions names of some ministers and claims that the ministers are not true to Go

I have discovered that my fears are not about my inadequacies, but about the light in me that is looking for opportunity to shine. I remembered when I started writing in secondary school, I thought I was the worst writer that would ever appear on the earth. I remember how I would hide my writings from my subgroup head in my fellowship in the University. I felt small standing before the ocean. The mass of the sea was intimidating. Now, the testimonies from my writings makes me wonder how I got to this point. I can't remember the point that I decided to overcome the fear of shinning. Let me ask you a question. Why are you scared of shinning? You're in adequate? If you can't do it, God wouldn't have told you to do it, so you've got to start now! Don't wait till you get enough finance to publish a book. Start writing on Facebook or open a blog. Don't wait till Mount Zion calls you to feature in a movie. Record a video on your phone and share

Last month, I attended a program that was tagged Tongues and Worship. It was a meeting that was filled with several revelations about songs. I am not musically inclined, but I held on to some things that was shared. A particular statement made by one of the preachers that music doesn't need my permission before it enters into my soul, has stayed with me till this moment. I have made some decisions as a result of the statement. I have always loved to preach to people when I enter a taxi, but I have always had constraints which ranged from my inability to preach fluently in Yoruba to fears. However, since Tongues and Worship, I started doing something. When I enter a Taxi, I would start singing a bit aloud with my heart focused on making the songs enter the other people in the car. So far, it has been awesome with supernatural things happening in the cars. The atmosphere of the taxi becomes exactly as if I am preaching in words and everyone keeps quiet. Even the driver tha

In 2010, I went to the Students' Union building of my school to get a KJV bible so that I would be familiar with the scriptures I do hear in my fellowship and around me. I was using the NLT bible I brought from home at that time and some of the verses seem unfamiliar when I hear them. I got the bible and as I was about to leave the book store when I saw the title of a book "How you can be led by the Spirit of God" by Kenneth E. Hagin. I just gave my life to Christ some weeks back and I was hungry to be able to recognise the voice I was hearing within me. At times it sounded like my own thought and at times, I 'think' it is God speaking to me. So I got the book. After lectures one afternoon, I was holding the book and a friend saw it with me. "Haa, Kenneth Hagin! Where did you see it". I was surprised at his exclamation as I didn't even pay any attention to the author, I was only concerned about what was written inside. "The man was a gre

For about a month, I have not been able to write any article and I have been battling a soup of mixed feelings about it. I found myself in a junction where I wanted to write as much as I didn't want to write. It's kinda weird, but it does happen and quite often too. Breaking away from the life that is scared of shinning is a feat that must be encouraged in every soul as we progress in the time of life. Our struggles with the deposits of God within us are mostly as a result of how much of our mind has been dedicated to ourselves. Recently, I found out that the help I need to start writing again is locked up in how much I want the writings to be a blessing that will break whatever struggle existing out there. The struggles that is making you to cover the lighted candle may be genuine, but the solution to your struggle actually lies in allowing your light that you call little to shine. Yesterday, I listened live to two people I have itched to meet for a while now (Pastor

Over the years of being a Christian, I have watched my desires change in a way that I cannot compute a formula for. The seven years that I have spent in Christ seems to cause some buildings and destructions within me. Definitely, it is a process; a journey. Several people have asked me why I use the image of a lion as my profile picture on social media. Well, to begin my defense, I am not hiding my face though, I am not a friend of the camera. The image of a lion signifies my present desire. It's a longing for a dimension of God in the earth. Contrary to some winds organizing parties in town these days, our God is full in His own way. He is described as the all-breasted one. That is, in Him, all can find his/her drink and be satisfied of Him. There are several dimensions to God and the dimension that I long for in the earth presently is that of a lion. God is not a lion, but He created a lion so that we can understand that dimension of Him. Severally, the bible calls Him a
