Why Are We Still Here?...Part 2


In part 1 of this series, I wrote about a program I attended in 300L and how, even though I didn't understand what was said at that time, it started a series of reactions in me that led to several studies.

During the practicals of my final year project, I came across a message and the title was exactly what I was looking for. I listened to the message over and over to really understand what the man of God was saying.

The message corroborated the message I heard at the Brothers' meeting the previous year. Somehow, there was a transition in what I knew to be Christianity. My thought pattern about the end time began to take another shape.

I stopped seeing rapture as an escape route, but as the end of an age and the beginning of another. I became interested in the meaning of some phrases I have heard from some members of my fellowship.

Phrases like "Day of the Lord" and "Army of the Lord" became my favorites. It was definitely a "new thing" to my mind that was (and is) so crazy about the new creation realities. I began to see that there is more.

I remembered that I had written a prophecy in one of my journals in 200L about God recruiting an army. I had also listened to messages by Jonathan Davids where he talked about "Market place Ministry".

All these began to form a new pattern of thought for me. I wrote severally about it and I shared some on Facebook. The message I encountered during my practicals was titled "Divine Government and Order".

I sort of grew 'over the night'. The plans of God for the end time began to unfold to me and I really was humbled and encouraged to press more into God. Let me stop here and continue later.

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...
