Your Love Story (Part 1): The Rotten Fruit


There is no way I could have thought of this happening. My heart has been torn apart ever since she received that phone call. I should have obeyed the nudging within me and stop her from picking the call, but how was I supposed to know that it would lead to this? Now, I'm all by myself. Can I still fix this? Is it still possible to get things together again? My heart aches. I'm so tired! Am I still supposed to keep hope alive after 3 weeks? Seun could do this to me?

I still remember that afternoon. Pastor preached on faith. That's his favorite topic. As the secretary of the church, I always have a hard time keeping to the schedule for the day once pastor declares that the topic for the day is Faith. He would share till time gets tired! I enjoyed every bit of it though. On our way home, Seun received a call. It was a reminder from work about a seminar that was to start in about an hour.

A seminar on Sunday? The argument was short. She explained that some executives from their headquarters in London would be there and she would like to make a few contacts. I didn't want to stand in her way. Despite the hard knock within me, I agreed. Its 3 weeks since that seminar. My wife has been keeping out late. I have to stay up sometimes till 1am before she comes in heavily fatigued. Meetings, trainings, events and trips have been the story. Sometimes, she even sleeps at the office. My heart is very troubled about this new trend. I told her about my displeasure with this and she has gone cold on me since that time. I have known Seun for 5 years and she has never been like this.

I remember how we met in school. I noticed that whenever I led prayer in my campus fellowship, there was this voice I always hear deep within me. When I hear that voice, prophecy flows like river. One day, I opened my eyes to find out where this voice was coming from. It was from the choir; a fresh student that just joined the choir department! Wow!

I thought I was hearing sounds from angels, never knew it was an angelic voice from the choir. I quickly met her after the prayer meeting and made sure we became friends. The innocent young girl just wanted God. Common! From Hagin to Kenyon to Joyner. I gave her books and she devoured them hungrily.

It didn't take long before she could challenge me to press into God. She spent longer hours praying in the Spirit, read more books and showed strong leadership skills in the fellowship. Our relationship started shortly after I left school. She had known for over a year that I was her husband

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...
