Final Year Room


The roommates I had in my final year in school was completely different from the roommates of the other years. The room was always 'on fire' as almost everyone in the room was a 'pastor'. I mean majority were hungry for God, so there was always a message playing, some people discussing scriptures or someone praying in the Spirit.

It was a time full of awesome testimonies. I remembered the day we discussed John 17. We were all screaming and jumping. At a time I fell sick and they gathered and we kept on reading the bible and praying in the Spirit till I was healed.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was always talking in the room. If he wasn't around, Archbishop Benson or Bishop Oyedepo would be thundering. Pastor Olubi Johnson, Jentezen Franklin, Pastor Poju, Joseph Prince, Joel Osteen were also in the pack. We were soaking in so so much

In the midst of all these, there was a Muslim, very devout. Very quiet and a moralist. He enjoyed the room for a long time until something happened. My friends could no longer take it, so they started telling him that Jesus is the Way. It was like a war. He wouldn't agree and my friends wouldn't give up.

One day, he came to report them to me. He said they were pressuring his life to agree with their religion which he doesn't believe in. He made a statement that made my heart bled. He said: " you're my only friend in this room". The reason for this statement was because I WAS NOT PREACHING TO HIM.

He found me as a place of safety, but it was actually a place of disobedience to the great commission. Yesterday, I heard the testimony of two people who were muslims before and they are now christians!

Today, some one told me the story of a man called George Meanings who was living in Philadelphia, but he moved to another town where he became a christian. After some time, he visited his friend in Philadelphia. After three days, he friend asked him what the end of unbelievers would be and George replied 'lake of fire'. He friend then said: 'Could it be that you have no human feelings again or why is it that you have not preached to me since you got here?

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...
