Letter To You- Of Changing Weather

Dear Friend,

My very good friend. I am sorry I haven't asked about your family since I started writing to you. Hope they are fine? Recently, I noticed that many people around me had malaria and it's because the weather here is changing.

The rain is stopping and the dry season is gradually taking over. In fact, we are experiencing what they caller 'shorter day, longer night' here. By 6:30pm, everywhere would have become so dark. I wouldn't know what is happening where you are.

You know when they say that a person is experiencing the night season. It means things are not right for the person at that moment. It can be so terrible that he would think that that is all that will ever happen in his life. It would be hard for him to think that morning will ever show up.

If you have ever had a painful reason not to sleep for a night, you would know that the night can almost last for ever. The night seasons of our life always look as if they would never go, yet it won't last.

Psalm 16:7 is a verse that can encourages us on what to do when we are experiencing the night season. Presently, it's almost 3am here as I am writing and everywhere is still as dark as if the sun will not shine today.

My friend, be encouraged. No matter how long the night may be, the sun will still shine. Hold on!

Your Friend,
Gentle Giant

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?...

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 ...

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 ...
