Letter To You- Of Scars, Fears, Shame and Guilt


Dear Friend,

Hope you learnt from my last letter to you. It brings me joy each time I hear about the great things you're doing for God just like Paul, the apostle would say in his letters. I remember how we went from room to room to preach the gospel when we were on campus.

I have always known that our journey in God is not a sprint, rather it is a marathon race that has a whole lot of experiences. The ups and the downs. It is part of the package my dear friend.

I pray your heart will be encouraged by this particular letter. I remember how Rick Joyner explained the similarities between the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan and the journey of Christians into the fullness of Christ.

It's all full of junctions. Some of this junctions may give us injuries that I hope you quickly turn into scars. Some give us fears. We even get ashamed at some points. Yes, it can be that bad. Guilt may also be around at those periods. Such experiences can be found on the way.

At such points, I have discovered that how much we trust the Lord is what is being tested. The aim is to drive our root down into the love of the Lord. The Father wants us to trust Him more and more at every point. So, don't despair, don't lose your song.

Bible told us that what we are passing through is very common as many other Christians are also passing through the same thing at the same time. Allow the love of God to swallow the scars, fears, shame and guilt. Dwell only in His love and not in how much good you have.

I am writing this to you so that you would not think that you are the only one with these kinds of experience. I have encountered some of them and I'm still encountering some presently. So, be encouraged.

This is the way to find peace and joy. My regards to your church members. I hope to see you soon.

Your Friend,

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 ...
