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

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...
