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!

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 ...

Why Is Cindy Jacobs Important?

Few days ago, I was having a discussion with a prophetess about the depths of the dimensions of God in the life of Cindy Jacobs. I was telling her about some stories about her ministry and how her works has vibrated through several nations. Two days later, I got a notification that she would be coming to Nigeria! I was shocked. I reached out to the prophetess and she confirmed to me that it is not a coincidence that we were discussing about her few days ago and now, she is coming into our territory. Now, we know that fame is not necessarily the signature of God upon an individual or movement, but because the church is structured in a body pattern, we have several dimensions of God flowing through and we are called to carry and steward specific dimensions. It is important to know the dimensions of God you are called to carry and it is also important to know those who carry this same dimension so that you can learn about the possibilities of God through you. I am singling out Cindy ...
