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 ...

Seven Years In Christ- Friends

After an official meeting with executives of tacsfonOAU When I resumed for the second year in college, I saw a result of the previous year and it was 39%. I couldn't believe what I saw because it was definitely not commensurate with my efforts. I wept quite bitterly and promised God that He wouldn't see me around any of His assignments again. I just joined a subgroup in my fellowship and I expected that my results will be better because of the several testimonies that I have heard from people. As I was weeping, God directed three friends to visit the spot where I was weeping. It was a miracle that I wouldn't forget. They consoled me and encouraged me to take a step of checking the result with the coordinator of the course. Eventually, my result was changed to 62%. This is one of the many times that the Lord has used brothers and sisters around me to stabilize me and keep me in line with His purpose. The role they have played in my last 7 years cannot be written in ...

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...
