My Wedding Invitation- Final Part


"I know you're angry which is understandable. But I want you to know that I don't have a hand in this". I wanted to cut in, but I couldn't look into her face after the smile I saw the other time. If I won't implicate myself here, I must control the left side of my brain o. "Maybe I should have changed my Facebook password since I lost my phone. The person must have logged in through my phone, but what still baffles me is what the person is aiming at? What does he want to gain from troubling us this much?"

I swallowed saliva. Did she say us? Her voice was so different from the one I had been hearing since morning. It was so soothing that it melted my heart. The anger I was forming evaporated and sweat started gathering on my nose. Then she continued "I'm sorry for all I said in the morning. I won't sue your ass, she chuckled". I wanted to steal a look at the chuckling face, but I knew she would notice, so I kept my straight face.

Then she stood up and went towards a calendar. She walked elegantly. The confidence she exhumes almost suffocated me. Mheeen, this is a woman! She suddenly turned back and caught me stealing glances again. She smiled. Lanre what is wrong with you. Concentrate on being angry! "I don't even know your name", she chuckled again. I kept quiet. After some seconds, she asked "Won't you say anything?" I gathered my breathe and replied quietly "What do you want me to say? My parents think I'm getting married in 2 weeks. My friends feel betrayed. What do you want me to say?"

"It will all be resolved, trust me". "Trust you? I don't know you" "My name is Tolu." She moved towards me and offered a handshake. I wanted to grab the hand, but I didn't. "Is this part of the set up?" "I didn't set you up. I'm just trying to have fair conversation with you". "This conversation is not fair. Nothing is fair here until I know what is happening". I stood up and left the office. Holy Ghost, help me now. Why was I sweating in an air conditioned room?

Where is Pastor sef. I walked back to the auditorium and I saw pastor, the media head and this very usher again. I couldn't hear their discussion, but I knew it must be about this same mysterious Facebook post. I had stood at the door for a while when Tolu came in too. The expression on her face changed immediately she saw that Pastor was with the media head and the usher. "Joyce?" She started walking very fast towards them. I followed her.

Who is Joyce? It must be the usher. She has started doing busybody again. Tolu was visibly angry. "Pastor, what is Joyce doing here?" "This is the house of God. All His children are welcome." Joyce couldn't look up. "Well, we found out that the picture was uploaded through an iPhone and I could remember that you and Joyce were very close till two weeks ago when you had a fight and I know Joyce has an iPhone.

I interrogated her and she has confessed that she did the picture through Photoshop and uploaded it. She said you once told her your Facebook password when you were still friends. And she used Bro Lanre's picture because she has been trying to get his attention, but he is always too serious in church. Now, I want two of you to go back to my office and wait for me. I want to discuss with Joyce alone."

The lion I saw in Tolu before the service had returned. I'm glad it's not directed towards me this time sha. I quietly followed her back to the pastor's office. She couldn't sit. She fumed as she paced up and down. Now, it's my turn to try to start a conversation. "Calm down. At least, now we know what happened." She didn't even look at my side.

I scratched my head. What else can I say o. Okay, let's try this: "You need to change all your passwords." I switched on my data and offered her my phone. She collected it and sat beside me. Her perfume filled the air around me. I took a deep breathe. A very deep one.

When she finished, I apologized for all I had said. Then, she smiled. That same smile. I froze. Her voice jerked me back to life- "Bro Lanre, you're no longer stealing glances at me, you're now staring. There is a babe waiting for you upstairs". "Is someone jealous?" She smiled again. Dear LORD, where is pastor?

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...
