2018: Prophetic For Nigeria?

The year 2018 started on a very dark note for the nation as attacks by Fulani herdsmen started on the very first day of the year and it continued for virtually the entire year. The year was full of killings in several parts of the nation. The ones that could be ascribed to Fulani terrorists in the North Central were ascribed to them while others were simply accredited to bandits. Boko Haram and ISWAP in the North East didn't stop their evil acts. The year also recorded several natural disasters in the South South and many evil occurences that claimed lives and properties in the South West. A very significant one was tanker explosion that happened in Lagos that took away over 100 vehicles.

These are the many sorrows that hit the land beyond the rivers of Ethiopia and made us to look up to God as our only help. 2018 shifted many things in Nigeria as the scriptures prophesied it that Godliness and sin will grow into their highest points before the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ. Sin had a very obvious growth in Nigeria during the year, but Godliness didn't slack as there were a lot of advancement in the church of Christ too.

From 2017, the church has entered into a realm of Glory evidenced by tangible presence of the LORD in worship and prayers. The atmosphere was so strong at the beginning of the year that it was obvious that the devil was in a desperate attention to get our attention through the many atrocities that he committed. The church was strengthened by the passing away of Billy Graham in February and we pressed on.

Prayers intensified in the year and the fulfillment of prophecies began to take place. the church in Nigeria has officially entered into a season of the fulfillment of prophecies. Corporate and individual. The revelation of our destiny increased and the wave of false doctrine declined. Towards the end of the year, the LORD began to reveal to several prophets in the land how that He is stirring His people to pray. When God does that, it is because He wants to be seen more in the land. Prayer conferences, prayer walks and gatherings filled the last two months of the year. Several campuses were used to foster this. UI and FUOYE had long stretch prayers for days, OAU had a unprecedented corporate prayer stretch. There were reports from many other schools.

The glory cloud that has existed in the universities is beginning to take shape in the secondary and inspiring, primary schools in Ibadan. The LORD is truly taking over Nigeria. Many more shakings will take place in 2019 as we continue to ask for our LORD to come.

"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."

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 ...

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 ...

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?...
