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?

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...
