Your Love Story (Part 7): Pig's Party

I decided to give Firesola a treat so I took her to a mall. I made sure she had a great time having fun. She behaves like a 10 year old when she is just about to clock 2 years. She made friends who were fascinated by her smiling and playful demeanor. She can be just as hilarious as her mum can be. As I was thinking about the similarities between Seun and Firesola, I heard a noise at a place close to where I watched Firesola from. I turned aside to see what caused the noise. It was a couple arguing.

I remembered that night I argued with Seun. She was defiant and wasn’t willing to hear my view. I had nudging in my Spirit that she was on a wrong road and I tried showing her, but she wouldn’t listen. I have never raised my voice at Seun until that night. I guess that annoyed her the more. I turned back to Firesola and allowed her to fill my thoughts. She is all I have now. The noise from the couple became louder and suddenly, I had a crash. I turned and saw the lady on the ground. The guy had hit her. She struggled to her feet and for the first time, I saw her face. Seun?

As I drove home, my mind wandered a lot. Seun left me for a woman beater? I was really confused. Her reaction when I tried to help her even made me more confused. What’s going on? The couple arguing at the mall was Seun and her new man. The guy hit her so hard in the face that she fell to the ground. When I saw that she was the one, I ran over to help her up and I faced the guy. I forgot that I am a Pastor. I wanted to fight the guy despite him being muscular than me. Seun ran to the middle and pushed me back. She ordered me to go away. Her voice was mixed with fear and tears. Is she regretting her decision already?

I have never raised my hand against Seun. Even my voice was always calm every time I’m with her. She has never been scared of me. Was I too gentle with her? Maybe her mum is right. Am I weak? I snapped out of the thought. I don’t believe that a man must be tough on a woman to exert his authority. She is not disrespectful. She recognized my place as her head and I loved her for it. Until she attended that seminar anyway. I remember a discussion we had while we were courting. She raised the topic of domestic violence and I was emphatic about my stand: Any man that beats a woman is a pig!

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...
