Prophetic Arts




We are in a prophetic season where we are seeing the many aspects of the prophetic dimension of God being displayed in men. The primary aim of the prophetic is to be able to know the mind of God. God wills to share His thoughts with us and when we make ourselves available, we can pick the mind of God. I am very fascinated to the many ways. So, the pattern of prophetic training in many quarters is based on how to hear God.

Hearing God is a major course in the lives of believers and God speaks to us in many ways. Basically, we hear God through the written word however, God can also make His mind known to us through the spoken word. Fundamentally, all believers should be able to hear God which means that every believer should be prophetic. Just like God can speak through a prophet in words, He can also speak using sounds, writings, video (drama) and pictures.

Dreams are videos. Trance can be short videos or pictures. One of the dimensions that is becoming pronounced in this times is the use of arts to communicate. We see this many times in the bible with people like Abraham when God told him to look at the stars in the sky. What Abraham saw was a picture. God communicated using a picture. Arts help our imagination to understand what God is saying better.


Just like a writer can write out what he sees in the mind of God and a music minister will sing it out, an artist can also draw it. I have heard of meetings where saints were worshiping God and an artist would draw out what he sees in his heart and after the worship time, some men would speak out the word of the Lord and it would be exactly what the artist just drew! These days, God is opening up abilities to be able to pick His vast mind in pictures and also be able to draw it out.

Sometimes, it is a scripture that an artist turn into picture or a truth of God’s word. The resulting picture makes it real and people are able to relate with it better. I have a friend who will tell me what I saw in dreams using clouds. She brings out God’s word from the formation of clouds. To her, they are more than pictures; they ‘speak’ and she has always been accurate!


Prophetic arts cannot just communicate truths, they can also communicate God’s power. What Jacob did with the sheep of Laban is a mystery that can only be explained through prophetic arts. There have been times that an image was impressed upon your heart and it led you to many supernatural things. While we must endeavor to stay within the written word and not ‘seek supernatural experiences’, we must understand that they do exist.

So, if you have been sensing this within you, please, take it serious. It is God.

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...

Shameful Calling?

After my last story about David, the official bastard. I got a call from someone, a lady and she said "Olanrewaju, can you please share my story on your blog? It would encourage your readers". After considering it, I decided to hear it first, but after I heard her story, I knew it would be perfect for you! I interviewed her and this is what I got: Olanrewaju: Can you please share your story with me? My New Friend: I will tell you about my life before I got married. I was a very modest lady who attracted praises from her parents, respect from the church members, admiration from the young men and of course, envy from some sisters. However, I remained humble, purposeful and pure. Even the pastor used me as an example as he was preaching one of his long sermons. Olanrewaju (thinking): That's a wonderful résumé! My New Friend: I got engaged to a young man in our church. He was God-fearing and he loved me with the whole of his heart. We had our introduction in a mod...
