I have been going through a season of molting in my writing career. I started with writing articles that looked more like the Psalms of David in 2010 and then I moved to writing stories in 2016 and this has been the major base of my blog. However, for some months now, I have been sensing a shift in the scope of my blog. My blog has always been about stories- some of them are completely fictional, some are from the rewriting of bible stories in a contemporary way while others are real. The LORD would have me enlarge the scope of the blog to include teachings and instructions about the last days. I believe that this is very essential at this time because the timing always determine the stature that believers must attain and maintain. To me, I find it very crucial to fulfill God's purpose for my life, so as much as I would like to just stick to my stories, I won't want to be disobedient to the heavenly calling. So, watch out for many things that pertain solely to the end ...

Topic: Grooming Children Text: Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. The agenda of God for this last days is being revealed unto us and it has thus far, shown that children have a place in the plans of God for this time and that is why God is raising a people who have the desire to lead children into the realms of the Spirit. God is raising men who are called into what we know today as children ministry and it is the duty of these people to show them the way of the LORD. In the text for the week, we see an act of the disciples of Jesus which is similar to what we do today in the church. We often look at the children as if they do not have the right to the things of God. We assume that their mental capacity cannot handle the things of God. Jesus rebuked them and called for the children to come to Him and He did a profound thing- He laid hands of them. The children are the only set of...

Topic: Resurrection Life Text: Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; This week, the LORD will have us look and press into the power of resurrection as a key ingredient for believers in this last days. Resurrection is simply the bringing back to life of things that are dead. Specifically, the resurrection of our LORD, Jesus Christ from the dead. This is the fulcrum of our gospel as if Jesus never rose from the dead, then our gospel is void. Charles Spurgeon once wrote that "there are very few Christians who believe in the resurrection". This brings us to the point of dissecting if our belief stands on true faith or just mental ascent. True faith is seen from the actions that correspond to what we believe. If we claim that we believe, but we do not take actions that correspond to what we believe, we do not believe. The power of resurrection brings life ...

Topic: The Army Of Fire Text: Joel 2:3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land [is] as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. There are 3 armies prophesied in the bible as the army of the LORD and they are the Gideon's army of 300, the Joel's army and the Ezekiel's army of dry bones that came alive. The Gideon's army are few and they are a pioneering generation while the Joel's army are the ones that will break open the 7 spheres of influence and the Ezekiel's army will be composed of men that will be saved as a result of the work done by the Joel's army. The times that we are presently belongs to the Joel army and they are already being birthed. The work of this army will be to take the mantle of the Gideon's army and break open the marketplace unto the kingdom. One of the characteristics of this army is that they are an army of fire. Our tex...

Topic: Hungry For God Text: Isaiah 54:2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; This week the LORD is calling us to be thirsty for Him in a way that is greater than how much we have been thirsty for Him in the past. Obviously, when this kind of call goes out, it is because there is an impending outpouring of the Spirit of God over the earth. The LORD is calling us to have greater capacities so that we can be able to hold the living waters. Our response to calls like this should be to spend more time with God. Our text says that we should enlarge, stretch forth, lengthen and strengthen. They all refer to an increase. The world is full of darkness and the light of the world must be able to suck adequately from the fountain of life because it is when we suck from the fountain of life that we will see the light in His light (Ps 36:9). We must not hold on to broken c...

Topic: Faithfulness Text: 1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. This week, the LORD is calling us to be faithful. The price and prize for faithfulness is at the greatest in the history of man. Faithfulness according to God's standard is simply carrying out the instructions God gives to us where He wants us to do it, when He wants us to do it and how He wants us to do it. As simple as it may sound, he lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life has made the price of being faithful to be very high. However, for a man that submits himself to walking in the spirit daily, it would be a work of Grace to the glory of God. At this time, the prize that God puts on faithfulness is also very great and the reason is because prophecies are being fulfilled. In these days, there are shakings going on in the heavens which is displacing the princes that have taken hold of territories and councils (Matt 24:29). The LORD is rai...

Topic: Thanksgiving 2 Text: 2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as [being] from ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] from God, Last week, the LORD asked us to attain a heart posture of gratitude. This week, He is insisting on us becoming grateful for the things He has done for us. So, He has impressed it upon my heart to spend another week to study thanksgiving. Considering the text for this week, we see that Paul, as mighty as he was actually needed the input of God before He could be effective. The same goes for us too. God has been our sufficiency on all sides and that's why we should be grateful. In Psalms 48, the sons of Korah, who wrote the book declares that our God is beautiful for situation which means that there is no prayer request that gets to God's table and He won't know what to do! Another way to explain this is to use the analogy of a nursing mother. The woman is all the baby has and she provides everyth...
