My Wedding Invitation (Part 3)

"You mean no one has called you to ask about the picture you posted?" "I didn't post any picture." "Is this not it on your Facebook page?" "I said my phone is missing. Don't you get it?" We kept on shouting at ourselves. I became so irritated that I charged towards her. She charged at me like almost like a lion, but we were restrained by the people who had gathered around.

They held me very tightly and pulled me to the pastor's office. As I was going, I could hear her voice screaming that she would show me hell if I can't control my stupid temper. After about 30 minutes, we were seated in the pastor's office waiting for him.

I was more calm, but the sight of her annoyed me. Then she made a call. "Hello, I think I have to drop the case I'm handling presently. I have a case I want to take on right now. I want to sue one stupid guy in my church". Ghen ghen, I stood up and replied her: "Shuu! You want to sue me for blackmailing me?" She wasn't going to let me take the stage. She stood up and said "your ass will rot in jail".

Before we could continue, the door opened and Pastor entered. He was surprised seeing that we had stood up to each other in his office. "You want to fight in my office?" "No sir", we chorused and sat down.

Pastor started this very looooong sermon about self control and wisdom. Then he said "Bro Lanre, you need to calm down and let's solve this matter amicably..." I didn't hear the rest o. Calm down ke? Abi I should change it for pastor ni? Thank God for home training sha. He kept on speaking to me for about 10 minutes.

Then he faced the lady. "Barrister, please don't sue brother Lanre. He clearly over reacted". Egbami o. Pastor is begging her ni sha. Sue me for what biko? I kept quiet and determined that I must get to the root of this matter. After Pastor finished begging her, she said "Pastor, I didn't do it. I know nothing about it." "I know", pastor replied.

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...

Nine Years As A Scribe

So, last night, I was meditating about the things that God is doing in this times and it dawned on me that we are in a period where our minds are being bombarded with images, video and text. We are in the greatest period of media height. Everywhere you turn, you see something waiting for your mind to feed on. You're not free at any point in time from the floods coming from the various platforms. Majority of the contents in recent years are immoral and the cry for biblically sound and creative content has been going on for some years. Thank God for the success that we have recorded in the past few years. The media is being used to project several images into our minds. I did a small social experiment last month. I was speaking to a group of young boys in a school about Bobrisky. I asked how many of them would like to be like him and no one raised hand. Then I changed the question and said that if I tell you that I would give you 1 million every month and all I want from you is to be...
