Lagos Trip



Recently, I have been sneaking into Lagos and this is not because I don't want people to know about my being in Lagos, but because I wouldn't be staying long enough to see my friends that live there.

My first trip was to Oshodi while the second was to Ojota. Now, my third trip to Festac posed a great threat on my peace as I didn't know how to get to the place I am going, so I had to contact a lot of friends staying in Lagos to get accurate description of the place.

All the descriptions I got looked similar, but I still nursed a fear for the Lagos Cabs. I have heard a lot about them that I don't want to have any thing to do with them. My previous trips had been without taking any cab, but this time it seemed like I have no choice.

Google Map seems to think that everyone has a car. I needed a direct bus to Festac from Ibadan, but I was told that the closest I can get is to Mile-2. I had set my mind on getting a cab finally from Mile-2 to Festac. I had gotten the name of the junction that I would alight.

Before leaving Ibadan, I asked God to send a nice bus conductor to me. Someone that would be caring enough to treat me well and drop me at the right place.

On getting to the garage in Ibadan, I saw a Taxi going to Mile-2. I don't like traveling inside a Taxi even though it would be better because I would be able to ask the driver where to get a cab going to Festac.

I moved to another garage where I saw a bus going to Mile-2 and a lot of other places I don't know. I entered the bus and started asking the conductors about how to get to Festac from Mile-2.

The man sitting beside me told me that the bus will get to Festac. I felt I was in a wrong bus because I had been told that I cannot get a direct bus to Festac from Ibadan. I asked another person and I got the same answer.

Okay, let's see how this ends. The bus moved past all the places I could recognize from my previous trips. I stayed glued to my Google Map as we went on. Then I saw that we were passing just by the place I was going. I told the driver to stop and I alighted.

Following my map, I just trekked a few distance to the place I was going to. No Lagos Cab, No Lagos Conductor, No Stress. It was a super smooth trip. I'm just so glad right now.

You see, sometimes we panic about things ahead, but when we pray, we should know that God will answer the prayer. If I had trusted God completely about the trip, I wouldn't have had to get myself worked up about Lagos Bus Conductors. God truly is good.

Irrespective of what people have told you about a situation, God can make it happen the way you dreamt it. Yes, He can. He did it for David, He did it for me, He will do it for you! Choose to believe.

I will postpone my official meeting with Lagos Conductors maybe till when I'm returning to Ibadan, but for now, I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!

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...

Nine Years As A Scribe

So, last night, I was meditating about the things that God is doing in this times and it dawned on me that we are in a period where our minds are being bombarded with images, video and text. We are in the greatest period of media height. Everywhere you turn, you see something waiting for your mind to feed on. You're not free at any point in time from the floods coming from the various platforms. Majority of the contents in recent years are immoral and the cry for biblically sound and creative content has been going on for some years. Thank God for the success that we have recorded in the past few years. The media is being used to project several images into our minds. I did a small social experiment last month. I was speaking to a group of young boys in a school about Bobrisky. I asked how many of them would like to be like him and no one raised hand. Then I changed the question and said that if I tell you that I would give you 1 million every month and all I want from you is to be...
