Why Are We Still Here?...Part 1

When I was in 300L, the Brothers' Unit of my fellowship organized a program and the theme for the meeting was "Building According to Pattern". It was the president of our fellowship that ministered at the program. The attendance was quite low, but what we learnt that day never left me.

The president talked about the seven nations that the Lord told Joshua and the Israelites to drive out of the promised land. These seven nations were already established in the land, but the Lord gave the Israelites the task to completely wipe them out and establish the nation of Israel.

He said that these 7 nations signified what he referred to as 'The Seven Gates of Influence' and they signify the seven areas that God is raising up men in this days from the church. These men are meant to 'take over' the established nations just like the days of Joshua.

The Brothers' Unit was known as a route through which the brothers of the fellowship learn more about God's purpose for their life. So, my president listed the what the seven nations typifies for us and he said that God is raising us all in either one, two, three or more.

The message that day was a mystery to me as I didn't understand what he was saying. It was a very distant rocket science to me at that time, but I never forgot. The message sparkled a hunger in me to know the purpose of the church at this end time.

Presently, I have a greater measure of the understanding of the "Seven Gates of Influence". I know that it is the will of God for the church to take over the 7 Gates, however I find out that a lot of Christians do not believe it.

The picture is just like that of the 12 spies that went to check out these same 7 nations during the days of Moses. 10 said it is impossible while 2 said that the Lord has taken it for us already.

I believe that God wants the church to take over the 7 Gates of Influence and establish a new culture over these lands. Several ideas will come to Christians these days that will make us the head and not the tail, just like it was prophesied!

I believe I will still write more on this topic; stay tuned. Don't be part of the 10 spies; we can take the land! May the Lord keep you, amen

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...
