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

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...
