Is God Hiding?


My Mum and I plays a game and she has always won since Adam. Growing up has not made me to detect the trick she uses to make sure she stays unbeaten. At the beginning, it would look like I am about to win, but eventually she would come out with the trophy.

The game is quite simple. There are some things that cannot stay for long in our house if I know where it is kept. One of it is bottled groundnut. Anytime my mum brings something she knows 'Lanre must not see into the house, she plays the game.

Mostly, I would see it when she brings it into the house, but she would take it into her room and hide it. My cunny self would not ask for it when she is around. I would go and search for it whenever she is not around, but I wouldn't see it. When she returns, she would simply enter the same room I had ransacked and bring out the bottle of groundnut. It's can be really frustrating.

You see, our God does the same thing too, but in for different reason. My mum hides the bottled groundnut FROM me while God hides things FOR us. Have you ever pondered on Psalms 91:1 before? Why does God live in a secret place?

Several other verses of the bible confirms that God lives in a secret place. A secret is something hidden, concealed or confidential. No wonder astronauts cannot find anything. Is God hiding? There is one verse in proverbs that said that it is the glory of God to conceal a thing.

Everyone that is hungry for God must know that 'God is hiding'! This will help you to know the value of 'searching' Him out. Paul, the apostle told us that no one can know the things of a person except the spirit of the person. That's why we have the Holy Spirit in us.

To know God, we must search. God is not hidden from us, He is hidden for us. The knowledge of God doesn't jump on any man. You have to spend time reading the bible, books, listening to messages and praying in the Spirit. It's not automatic, it is manual.

Knowing God is the greatest thing that can happen to a man. Search for the hidden One from your secret place. Let your search be sincere and consistent.

 If you seek, you will find! Hopefully, one day I would crack my mum's code.

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 ...

Seven Years In Christ- Friends

After an official meeting with executives of tacsfonOAU When I resumed for the second year in college, I saw a result of the previous year and it was 39%. I couldn't believe what I saw because it was definitely not commensurate with my efforts. I wept quite bitterly and promised God that He wouldn't see me around any of His assignments again. I just joined a subgroup in my fellowship and I expected that my results will be better because of the several testimonies that I have heard from people. As I was weeping, God directed three friends to visit the spot where I was weeping. It was a miracle that I wouldn't forget. They consoled me and encouraged me to take a step of checking the result with the coordinator of the course. Eventually, my result was changed to 62%. This is one of the many times that the Lord has used brothers and sisters around me to stabilize me and keep me in line with His purpose. The role they have played in my last 7 years cannot be written in ...
