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

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?...

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 ...
