Letter To You- Of Mockery and Your 'Revs'

Dear Friend,

It's been a while. I took some days off because I got busy and had a number of things on my heart that I am not used to. Many things are happening in this times and I hope you are aware of the times and season.

Last night, I began to think about how I use to be. I mean what my belief system looked like years ago. We have come a very long way in the faithfulness of God towards us and we must not forget what we looked like in the past.

I remember how I wouldn't look into the face of any lady when I just believed because I didn't want to be stained. I almost fell inside a deep gutter as a result of this. Somehow, I thank God that I didn't have so much audience to listen to my 'revs'.

My friend, don't make mockery of anyone that you perceive to have a lesser understanding of the word of God than you. Remember you have not always been like this too.

I thank my teachers who patiently listened to my 'foolish' questions, but didn't call me ignorant. They took it up, showed me scriptures and followed me up to make sure that I really understand.

Just like Paul would at times, call himself the chief of sinners, we must not forget that God took us from the dung and placed our feet among princes. Don't despise the little beginning of another. Remember God loves them just as much as He loves you.

Moreover, you're not yet there also. There are still some things that you don't know presently and your teachers are still believing God that you will understand. So be humble.

What is it that you have that you were not given?

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...

Nine Years As A Scribe

So, last night, I was meditating about the things that God is doing in this times and it dawned on me that we are in a period where our minds are being bombarded with images, video and text. We are in the greatest period of media height. Everywhere you turn, you see something waiting for your mind to feed on. You're not free at any point in time from the floods coming from the various platforms. Majority of the contents in recent years are immoral and the cry for biblically sound and creative content has been going on for some years. Thank God for the success that we have recorded in the past few years. The media is being used to project several images into our minds. I did a small social experiment last month. I was speaking to a group of young boys in a school about Bobrisky. I asked how many of them would like to be like him and no one raised hand. Then I changed the question and said that if I tell you that I would give you 1 million every month and all I want from you is to be...
