Nigeria: The Journey to Glory. Part 1


Being a Nigerian becomes messier by the day. International organizations and countries continue to see us as the set of people with corruption wired in our DNA. The situation is not encouraged by constant arrest of Nigerians involved in fraud and related offences. Not putting all the blame on Nigeria in diaspora alone, the ones within the shores of the country are involved in some of the worst kind of practices on the face of the earth today. The situation is like a sore that would not heal.

All of these can make one wonder why you are born into this country that looks God forsaken. Why would God choose Nigeria as your birth place? What happened to Canada? Or even Botswana? Well, I do a lot of research into the history of Nigeria and it has changed my mindset about this country. I do not read history books alone, I go after the word of the Lord to the land too. The past, present and future of Nigeria excites me because the LORD has, by His Grace and Mercy shown me quite a number of things about the destiny of this land.

Early this year, I did a series on the Jihad that held 200 years ago in Nigeria and then I have also shared a number of posts about Nigeria in the bible. The LORD has said some things in the past and this is what gives me joy over the land. I have also read many prophecies about Nigeria from Intercessors for Nigeria, Cindy Jacobs, S.G. Elton, Olubi Johnson, Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj Jonathan Davids, Christian Youth Alliance and many more.

In all, I have seen able to see the direction of the plan of God for Nigeria. It is very exciting because the plan is one of the greatest I have ever seen. It’s more than what you can refer to as epic. Nigeria, as a book would be a bestseller that would trump Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and any other book you can refer to as the best. As a movie, it would break every single record and smash the cinema ratings you have ever seen.

From tragedy to hope, suspense, love and victory, Nigeria has experienced different shades of life and has miraculously survived what has wrecked many nations. So far, it is obvious that there is a force behind the story of this black nation; a force that seems to steer the wheels of the nation to a place. The country has veered off several times, but the force keeps showing up when hope is almost over.

From the earliest stories of West Africa, Nigeria has been full of surprises that must have been intrusions from the third heaven. One time United Nations Secretary General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali once said that Nigeria has a way of pulling up surprises when you are about to give up on the nation. Nigeria has the largest population in Africa and 7th most populous in the world. There is no country with half of the Nigeria’s population in Africa!

The end of Nigeria is going to be the greatest shock this world would see. Some things have been said about Nigeria and the knowledge of it will surely get you excited! I would share about that in my next blog post!!!

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...
