Have You Met Nebuchadnezzar?

I wondered what made Nebuchadnezzar build that image that he wanted everyone to start worshipping. He has already conquered a lot of lands at this point, yet he molded an image and made everyone to worship it.

More astonishing is the fact that he just saw a public display of the wisdom of the God of the Jews in the matter of his dream that Daniel interpreted. I don't know the number of months or years between the two events, but I don't expect him to forget what made him prostrate before a slave in public so soon.

His inconsistency with the God of the Jews played out again after the event of the fiery furnace. When you read that part of the bible, you will wonder how he got to know who the fourth man in the fire was. He was so shocked that he commanded everyone to respect the God of the Jews. Yet, this man lost it again.

It was in the account that looks like his autobiography that showed how the heavens intervened in his life and taught him a lesson he couldn't forget before his mind was finally set on God. In that account, he mentioned how a Watcher from heaven pronounced judgment on him.

Despite the consistent display of the power of God at a National level in Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar was very inconsistent. "Watchers" is a company of heavenly beings. I know that there are Angels in this company, but I believe that some men are also part of this company.

We know that the heavens do not interfere until a man agrees to pray. Someone must have been praying concerning the situation in Babylon and this warranted the coming down of the Watcher who came to establish the decree of the Watchers!

In intercession, we must firstly align with the will of God and then enforce this will. We must be deliberate about our prayers concerning the coming elections. We have just 12 months to go. We must make demand on the counsel of the Father in Nigeria. There are Watchers in Nigeria who must make decrees of what they have heard in the council meetings above!

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...
