Thou Shall Marry A Second Wife!


When I was serving in Plateau state, I had to travel to Borno state for an official NCCF assignment. It was a long trip plagued with different parts of the car breaking down. The trip that was meant to take about a day took almost 3 days.

Due to the breakdown, we had to stop at Bauchi and Damaturu. We were just 3 that embarked on the trip. I remembered the journey of Bauchi to Damaturu. It was all dark and sort of scary. The National president, who knew the road, slept for a long while because he was feeling feverish and the assistant transport secretary, who was driving on a new road in the dark had to concentrate. It was Fast and Furious practical class.

So, I was left to myself to do whatever I wanted to do apart from looking out into the dark road. My mind has proved to be able to give me good company at times like this. I thought about the church in Nigeria and how many people are beginning to lose hope in the efficacy of the scriptures and the availability of genuine Pastors and Prophets.

I have heard a number of people criticize Tongues because they know someone or some people with a defective character, but always blast in Tongues. In Ibadan, a people who lack regard for the prophetic office is growing because of the catastrophe that is being caused by some prophets whose revelation is above the bible.

About a month ago, my dad lamented about how his car mechanic married a second wife because his prophet told him that until he marries a second wife, his mechanic workshop will not boom. And guess what, his business has started booming after the second wife has arrived. Dad described it as an accurate set-up.

Really, especially among the Pentecostals in Ibadan, the image of the Prophet of second wife abounds. Quite sad. Many families have been scattered by this wave that is endemic among the illiterates in Ibadan. If you are around here, you would know what I am talking about. They abound in Gbagi market and Iwo road, moving around in their 'itinerant ministry'.

Have you heard of Benaiah in the bible? During the early days of King Solomon. The meaning of his name is 'built by the Lord'. There is a shift in Ibadan. Men will yet believe again for true prophets shall be. Amen

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 ...
