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,

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...
