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 ...

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...
