Topic: The Elisha Generation Text: 2 Kings 2:1 And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. We live in a time where the Lord is raising many sons to replace the generals of the previous generation. The men who served the Lord with all their hearts and attained great heights in God are gradually leaving this realm and they are leaving behind a great gap, but God, in His infinite wisdom has made their mantles available for the generation that is coming right behind them. God is a generational God; His works always transcend a generation and that is why He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. His works are beyond what a generation can handle. The transfer of mantles is one of the doctrines of Christ mentioned in Hebrews chapter 6 (laying on of hands) and it is meant to transfer giftings. We see it portrayed in the ministry of Timothy too. The transfer of mantles happened between El...

Jesus Christ told us that when the gospel of the kingdom has been preached in all nations, He will return to the earth. The gospel of the kingdom is quite different from the gospel of salvation which is what we preach in most places at the moment. The gospel of salvation is for individuals while the gospel of the kingdom is for territories. It is important that we are able to see the complete plan of God so that we can be able to see the different parts. The complete plan of God is "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". God wants to make this earth look like heaven with respect to His dominion. This earth is a kingdom and God wants to take it. The process started by saving the men in it and then making those men, who are loyal to Him, to have complete dominion over the earth and this will eventually be given to Him when He returns for the millennial reign. Jesus is not coming back to the earth as a saviour. He is returning as a king and He will fight...

"The religion of the king is the religion of the land. If the king is an unbeliever, the land is an unbelieving land and it must be conquered". The above quote was said by Dan Fodio and it is this thought pattern that sponsored the taking over of many kingdoms. He considered the Hausa lands as polytheists as they had gods that they worshipped. Dan Fodio never relented on this crusade so he made sure that his philosophy was passed down to the following generation. His son and brother continued the Jihad after his death. They were the ones that took over Ilorin and some other places. There have been many generations after him, but this cause never died in their minds. He was a man that any Jihadist would love to emulate. In the present day Nigeria, there are many who believe in the ideologies of Dan Fodio and are ready to continue his uncompleted and crumbling mission. This is what is known in some circles as "Muslim Agenda". As a believer in Christ, I am not ...

In 2016, the LORD said to me that the strength of the Sokoto caliphate is being taken away gradually. I really didn't understand that statement so I did a little study about the throne of the Sokoto caliphate. I discovered that the Sultan of Sokoto is regarded as the leader of Islam in Nigeria and he determines important dates in the calendar of Islam. Around that same period, I had to minister on the topic- Light in a school. I found something new at that time. I discovered that the sun and the moon were created firstly for signs in the heavens before the measurement of time. Studying further, the Holy Spirit in the book of Joel said that in the last days, the sun and the moon will lose their light which means some signs will be missing in the heavens. Islam has a lot of ties with the moon and that year, they had challenges in 'seeing the moon' which was needed for the celebration of a very important festival. I didn't have a good understanding of these things, b...

The quest of Usman Dan Fodio traveled very far into the western Africa as far as Benin Republic, Togo, Mali and Burkina Faso. In the present day Nigeria, many states in the North West, North central and North East were conquered and placed under the bondage that Islam brought. That is why till today, many Northerners do not like the Fulani tribe. They are seen as deceitful and dangerous because they killed their culture and gave them Islam. Northern christian especially holds this notion. If you have met a Northern christian, you won't need faith to believe this. Usman was very victorious because he had a lot of supernatural powers that backed him up. The agenda was not his. He received it from his encounters with the supernatural world. He was a man who had visitations in his dreams. The war was very fierce in some places and he had to retreat. An example is Bornu. El-Kanemi, the king of Bornu would not surrender his town to Dan Fodio. It was a very fierce battle. El-Kane...

I served in Jos, Plateau state in 2015 and I met a lot of Northerners. To my surprise, majority of them refused to answer the name Hausa. They rejected it fiercely. People from Kaduna, Kebbi, Plateau, Adamawa, Gombe were in this category. Some would even get angry if called Hausa. In fact, they had their language. I didn't understand their anger until now. The media has painted the entire Northern Nigeria as of they are all Hausas and Muslims. Actually, there are many states in the North that has more Christians than Muslims. Are you shocked? This is as a result of the works of Usman Dan Fodio. Usman Dan Fodio needs no introduction to many people, but for the sake of contextual reading, I will introduce him. He was born in a place known as Gobir on the 15th of December, 1754. That year preceded all of the major landmarks of Nigeria's history, so there was nothing like states, but Gobir falls into the present day Sokoto State. Gobir was an Hausa town that had Fula...

Since this year began, I have been taking trips into some dimensions that I am not used to, but are needed for this time. I have written some stories this year,  but this is my first major series of the year and it is, according to my own estimation, the most important series I have ever done. I have never fasted, studied and prayed over any of my blog posts like I have done (and will still do) on this one. I have titled it "The Quest of Usman Dan Fodio". The weight came upon me early in the month of February and I have been given by mercy, many encounters, traveled back in time, dreams and visions. At a point, I felt like keeping it all to myself and just pray, but I would be very unfaithful if I do that. Definitely, the series will cause divisions and many other things. A thought even dropped in my mind that DSS may pick me up. Maybe that will give the series the needed traffic. Well, whatever the case maybe, the aim of the series is so that watchers and intercess...

Topic: Watch and Pray (2) Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober. Last week, I shared how that the coming of Jesus will only be a shock to those who have not been watching and praying. The parable of the 10 virgins showed that there was a watcher who let out the cry for the virgins to wake up from their slumber when the bridegroom was close. Simeon and Anna were about the first set of individuals who could identify Jesus as the messiah even when he was still a baby because they have been watching and praying in the temple. In the text for this week, Paul asserts to the Thessalonian church that the coming of Jesus should not catch us as a thief in the night, so he admonished that we should watch and be sober. This simply means that we must always be at alert. It is not out of uncertainty. Believers must be able to discern the coming of Jesus. Pay attention to world events as they fulfill the biblical prophecies of...

History is not fiction. It is an actual event that occurred and has implications. African nations were, for a long time in darkness until the light of life began to show up as a result of the works of missionaries from Europe. By the time Christianity entered a nation like Nigeria, several occultic events had happened and these events had given the land a culture. Several men have accessed demonic portals that gave them great influence over the land. Territories were named after several things  that were possessed by demons like rivers, mountains, bushes and men. A good understanding of these origins give us a better stance in warfare. I got these information about two years ago, but I believe this is the right time to share it. Go through this list with an open heart and pray as led by the Spirit of God. Name signifies nature. The name of a person, place or thing determines the nature. So, when a state is named after a river, you can expect that river to have influence i...
