Movie Review: Land of Fury!

I just finished seeing my first movie of 2019- Land of Fury. A friend gave me on the first day of the year. At first, when I saw the direction of the movie, I felt this is just trivializing the torments that the Chibok girls are going through in the hands of the Boko Haram as no movie can fully capture the ordeals of those girls. I mean no movie!

As I continued with the movie, I began to see some of what you would call the 'movie tricks' when the school teacher that was abducted and killed, resurrected. My trajectory, however, began to change as I saw that the movie wasn't trying to portray the ordeals of the abducted girls, but was showing us the way out- Prayer.

The social media is full of calls for less prayers and more actions when it comes to nation development. I have vehemently stood against this school of thought and many have seen me as unrealistic. Prayer, to me, is being realistic!

Let me give some details about the abduction of the Chibok girls. It happened on the night of April 14 into April 15, 2014. This day was the beginning of a unique sign in the sky. The blood mood tetrad started on this very day! If you have been following world events in relation to blood moons, you will know that this is no coincidence.

Wait. I'm a believer. I'm not led by the appearance of blood moons, but the guy that wants to engage in evil activities needs it. He works with it. He uses it. It is called divination! Boko Haram didn't just pick that night, rather, they used that night and the event shook the entire world. April 15, 2014 wasn't just any other day. It also coincided with Passover celebration in Israel. The bible says that the blood moons signify a season called the 'last days'.

A similar occurrence almost happened in the bible when Haman picked a date for the execution of Mordecai and the Jews. Haman couldn't just do it on any day, he had to engage divination to get it right. Mordecai, Esther and the Jews stood in prayers and fasting. It was this priesthood that stopped Haman.

My point is this: it's almost 5 years since the chibok girls were abducted. If we will have full victory over this incidence, we must stand in our priestly office. Land of Fury movie pictured this very well. The parents, teachers, students and the government all agreed on prayers. We are yet to see a major denomination organize a meeting exclusively for these girls.

When Peter was arrested, the church didn't strategize his release or organize protests. They prayed! Prayers still work!

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...
