Urgent Prayers for Kogi State

I do not like the idea of reacting to an event. As believers, we have an advantage in the Holy Spirit to know about future events and either prevent or facilitate it. Events should not meet us unawares. This writing is not as a result of the recent happenings in Kogi state, but as a result of an impulse from the LORD.

It was a night before a time to pray for the nation that I jerked out of my sleep around 2am. I checked my heart to pick why I woke up (The LORD often wakes me up during the night to share things with me), but I didn't pick it at first. I slept back and jerked out of sleep again in another 30 minutes as I saw a man throw a beehive into my bed. This time, fear had filled my room so much that I could almost smell it.

I thought it's a threat to my life, so I picked my bible. (I have learned never to pray out of fear. I ask the Holy Spirit for direction) I confessed Psalm 91 and went into meditations. As I meditated, I knew that the picture I saw as I woke up the second time of a man throwing a beehive into my bed wasn't an attack on me, but on Kogi state, Nigeria.

Kogi state has just passed a season of elections which was nothing short of bloody. I thought the worst has passed until my experience. While meditating, the LORD made me see that there is a fresh threat aimed at Kogi state and this attack is in form of a beehive which signifies an attack that spreads easily. This could be a highly communicable disease or a terrorist attacks that will occur in different parts of the state.

There is a need to raise prayers for the state to stand against the onslaught of the devil and ensure righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost is established in every nook and cranny of Kogi state. Let us not forget the leader of the state too. Pray for him.

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...
