I Wish I Never Worried- 1


When I got my call up letter for NYSC, I had many worries. I have never been to Northern Nigeria before, so this was the first time I would be leaving home for a very long distance like Plateau state.

The excitement of going to serve my nation was high, but I had many worries. Worries are questions in our mind that we don't have answers to. I wondered how it was going to look like and I had no answer.

Traveling don't excite me so, I avoid them as much as possible, but I couldn't avoid this and I didn't have enough finance to take a flight, so I had to board a bus. The position of my legs alone was enough to add to my many worries.

Due to my 'traveling allergy', I decided that I would stay back and find my way out after the 3 weeks orientation camp. It was a great risk and I knew that. It gave me so many worries. Where would I stay after the camp? Who would feed me after the camp? What would happen after the camp?

During the camp, my roommates kept on talking about how they have secured a place in the capital city and how they would sort themselves out after camp. I would just lay on my bed worried.

On the day the camp ended, I was posted to a missions agency (NCCF) and I got to know that they have a house where I will stay and also an arrangement for the feeding of the new corps members.

I sighed! I wish I never worried

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 ...

Why Is Cindy Jacobs Important?

Few days ago, I was having a discussion with a prophetess about the depths of the dimensions of God in the life of Cindy Jacobs. I was telling her about some stories about her ministry and how her works has vibrated through several nations. Two days later, I got a notification that she would be coming to Nigeria! I was shocked. I reached out to the prophetess and she confirmed to me that it is not a coincidence that we were discussing about her few days ago and now, she is coming into our territory. Now, we know that fame is not necessarily the signature of God upon an individual or movement, but because the church is structured in a body pattern, we have several dimensions of God flowing through and we are called to carry and steward specific dimensions.  It is important to know the dimensions of God you are called to carry and it is also important to know those who carry this same dimension so that you can learn about the possibilities of God through you. I am singling out Cindy ...
