Taxi Episode- Shameless Man

Inside a taxi today, a wonderful drama happened. A woman stopped the car and I thought she was going to join us inside the car, but instead she began to drag the cloth of the man that sat in front. She shouted in Yoruba "bami mu owo mi, oti jeun awin leemerin lai sanwo" (give me my money, you have eaten four times without paying).

Instead of saying words that would make the woman cool down, the man told the driver to move. I mean, he was completely shameless. At the end, the car moved without the man paying for the food he has eaten. Quietly observing from my seat, I laughed so hard.

Then, i meditated on the issue. Somehow, it is easier to dictate how to react to an issue when you're not involved.

One lesson I learnt while in Jos was that when we get angry and shout at people, we release evil. If the recipient, however didn't react back to the words aimed at him/her, the evil released is conquered. To do that is simply supernatural.

I mean it is supernatural to forgive. No one can do it without the help of the spirit. When we think of supernatural, it is not just the miracles, signs and wonders. Repentance is also supernatural. In fact, I will say it is a higher supernatural for us to have dominion over sin than for a blind eye to open.

The fruits of the Spirit budding out of our flesh is a "work" that is supernatural. Walking in cleanliness is a supernatural act and we must cherish and know it so as not to walk in duality.

In other news, when I dropped from the car, I saw a man (begging for alms) without one leg giving money to another man (also begging for alms) without any leg. This one is for selah

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...

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 ...

Why Is Cindy Jacobs Important?

Few days ago, I was having a discussion with a prophetess about the depths of the dimensions of God in the life of Cindy Jacobs. I was telling her about some stories about her ministry and how her works has vibrated through several nations. Two days later, I got a notification that she would be coming to Nigeria! I was shocked. I reached out to the prophetess and she confirmed to me that it is not a coincidence that we were discussing about her few days ago and now, she is coming into our territory. Now, we know that fame is not necessarily the signature of God upon an individual or movement, but because the church is structured in a body pattern, we have several dimensions of God flowing through and we are called to carry and steward specific dimensions. It is important to know the dimensions of God you are called to carry and it is also important to know those who carry this same dimension so that you can learn about the possibilities of God through you. I am singling out Cindy ...
