My Wedding Invitation (Part 2)


I don't know if this is meant to be a blackmail or she is walking by faith. Faith? That must be a joke. A big joke sef. I needed to act very fast. She is very smart to have chosen Saturday night so that the news will spread well in church the following day. I thought of how she would face me in church.

I removed myself from the Facebook tag and sent a message to some people to alert them of the fraud. And I had to call my parents too, but I know a call cannot solve this. My first point of call was my Pastor's house. His wife opened the door for me with her ever emotionless face. She is like Lucy in Harry Potter. You can never see anything other than calmness on her face.

What kind of trouble is this on a Sunday morning! The first statement that came out of my mouth immediately I saw my pastor was "pastor, this is blackmail. I don't even have her phone number". My pastor calmed me down and told me that he will call the lady to delete the post.

Since I joined the church, I have been very quiet. After the foundation class, I joined the intercessory unit, so I am hardly seen by most members of the church. My brand in the church is unknown. Only the pastor, his wife and few members of my unit can even recognize me on the street. It really baffles me what got into this lady.

I would have gone immediately to Ibadan, but I wanted to see the lady to know the kind of weed she took. My palms have been itching me. Maybe it's a message that I need to slap someone. The kind that they call 'no be here'. My friends have started posting the picture on their WhatsApp status. Egbami ke.

I was pacing the door of the church as the ushers were arriving. One of them met me and said "I think I saw you on Facebook this morning and ehh yes, you're the one. Congratulations". She stretched her hand towards me, but I shouted at her. "I am not the one". She moved away quickly from me. I know their type. Instead of reading bible when they wake up, it is Facebook they will be checking. Shior. I was angry and I strangely, liked it.

I stayed really pissed till I saw this lady. Yours sincerely, she looked beautiful, but today, she go hear am! I walked towards her as fast as I could. "What is the meaning of that nonsense on Facebook?" She suddenly froze like a giant scorpion stung her. "fffffffacebook?" She could only stutter. I shouted again "The picture you uploaded on Facebook. What is the meaning of that? Do I know you? Why are you blackmailing me?" I kept on shouting many questions.

People were already gathering and she kept on looking dumb. I wasn't going to fall for that. I brought out my phone and showed her the picture. The expression on her face was like that of a Chinese man that just received a Jet Li kick on his face. When she recovered from the apparent shock, she said "My phone has been missing for the past 3 days. I assure you that I know nothing about this".

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...
