Taxi Episode- The Little Girl Called Success

A very heart warming event occurred in the taxi I boarded this evening. I would never have imagined what God had in plan when I entered the taxi that already had a woman with 3 children squeezing themselves to occupy just one seat.

I would have helped to carry one of the children, but the last passenger in the back seat was not smiling, so I just squeezed myself between the woman with kids and the woman without smile. The children chatted without considering their inconvenience.

My heart felt for them. Three kids and their mum squeezed up into a seat inside a taxi. I silently prayed to the Lord to reduce their hardship. They were dressed in Ankara and the smallest (the only girl) wore a beret. I guess they were going to church.

It was as if the Lord was waiting for my silent prayers because He answered the prayers immediately. The little girl had been trying to lean out of her Mum's hand unto my chest, but Mum wouldn't allow her to discomfort the nice gentleman without beards sitting quietly beside them.

After my prayers, Mum's arm went down and the little girl's head rested right on my heart. She had been trying to sleep. At first, I had a little difficulty in breathing, but I later was able to adjust without disturbing her sleep.

I never knew she was trying to sleep when I asked the Lord to reduce the hardship of the family. The little girl, whose name, I later found out to be Success, slept so soundly till the point where the taxi stopped. I kept on praying for her, declaring words over her life. I didn't waste anytime at all. I prayed in the Spirit and in understanding; released grace!

Her mum tried waking her, but I stopped her. Success rested her head on my heart for about 15 minutes. I made sure I was there for her till they dropped. I forgot about my junction because I wanted Success to sleep some more. Her mum was full of smiles and appreciation at the end of the trip.

Success placed her head on the heart of someone that prayed for her. Can you relate?

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 ...
