Word of The Lord About Sokoto State, Nigeria

While I have been engrossed with the situation in the middle East, the Lord turned my attention towards a state in Nigeria- Sokoto State. I have written a series that involves Sokoto State- The Quest of Usman Dan Fodio and I explained a lot about the role that the location has played in the shaping of Nigeria's experiences in the last 200 years.

It was a surprise when I had a vision where I saw a woman collect the microphone in a meeting where I saw many believers. She cried out for people to rise up and pray for Sokoto state. She said 'why is the oil not refined in this land?' 'Pray for Sokoto state', she shouted.

I had this vision twice in the same night. Now, oil is one of the liquids that is used to represent the Holy Spirit in the bible. It is used to represent the presence of the anointing upon a person for an assignment or establish an altar for the Lord. The first place oil appeared in the bible was where Jacob slept in Bethel and had the vision of angels ascending and descending on a ladder.

Jacob described the place like this: 'How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.' Now, I am not saying that Sokoto is heaven, but it not gainsay that Sokoto is a gate through which you can access some dimensions in the Spirit realm. This explains some of the encounters and dimensions that Usman Dan Fodio had.

The essence of the write is for believers to pray for the presence of God to be established in a tangible ,measure in the state. After the vision of Jacob, he raised a altar for the Lord and poured oil which signifies the presence of the Holy Spirit. The woman in visions asked 'why is oil not refined in this land?' We need to pray for that land for the presence of the Lord to have a tangible presence there.

Now is the time to pray.

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...
