Lagos?!


This is one of the articles I won't share the link. I will rather leave it here for anyone who finds my blog important enough to read "unpopular posts". Writings that fall into this category are sort of like my diary, but I share them here because I want you to learn about the faithfulness of God.

At the moment, I am planning to relocate to Lagos, Nigeria in few days. I'm leaving my biological and spiritual family and my job. The LORD asked me to move. I wouldn't be thinking of relocating if not for the instruction of the Father to move.

Lagos has never been a ready option for me to live in, but the LORD must be obeyed. I have read several articles and heard many things about Lagos. I feel like a fish thrown onto a mountain. It's completely out of what I can handle. I really wish God would change His mind, but He is not a man.

I'm moving to Lagos, the center of commerce for Nigeria. I don't have a job neither do I have any savings. All I have right now is God's word- Psalms 40:2. Some of my friends here are making this decision harder for me. They feel that I am leaving them. It's so hard for me right now. I hope they will still be able to relate with me.

That part scares me a lot. I hardly make friends. I'm still learning to become normal socially. I get ridiculed in new environments. I have not had that in a while because I have had little reason to work with strangers in the last 3 years. I am now being confronted with it!

This writing is few days to moving out. I'm scared, but I know God will take care of me. I'm His sheep. He promised. Soon, I will write of His goodness in the land of Lagos.

Thank God you have obeyed the Lord. It is always a difficult thing to go against inertia and step out like a fish out of water. But on the long run, it will pay out biggerly.

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...
