  In the last 24 hours, three friends contacted me about profound dreams they had in recent times. The dreams were instructive about life, career, ministry and Nigeria. I am very jealous for the voice of the Father. In the mouth of two or three… Whenever I hear that people are having spectacular experiences, I always put up my radar for more of God, however, I am very careful to not seek spectacular experiences like dreams, rather, I spend more time in the word and listening to messages in times like this because there is grave danger in seeking the spectacular. In 2011 till the end of 2012, I had a flood of dreams. It was so much that whenever I close my eyes, I would start seeing things. I even had to get a different journal to chronicle the dreams. At a point, however, I had to seek counsel from the president of my campus fellowship. He looked at my journal; read a few of the dreams and made it clear that the dreams all had the same meaning- COME CLOSER! He made it clear ...

    I write in parables... During the lock down, I was waiting on the Lord concerning Nigeria and the Lord pointed my attention at Omoyele Sowore. I was startled at the mention of that name, but I pressed for more information. I wanted to know what exactly the Spirit of God was telling me. I took time to look into it and I kept it all to myself until I understand what the Spirit is saying in its fullness.   Recently, while waiting on the Lord again, I found the answer to the 'Omoyele Sowore Riddle'. The answer came while studying the book of Joel. I saw Nigeria pictured in the book and the progression from Plundered to Revolution to Restoration. The book starts by analyzing a situation where every available resource has been looted and carted away. While this looks like the physical state of the country, I speak more of the spiritual situation. The book prophetically shows the pattern of the looting. From Palmerworm to Locust to Cankerworm to Caterpillar. While ...

  My pastor called me this evening and asked me why he has not been seeing my writings. I explained to him that I have been on a heavy routine in recent weeks, exams et al. He raised an issue that has gathered dust in recent times. I understood what he was talking about. I have always been vocal about issues that affect the church and he knows that I, by Grace and Mercy, wield a measure of influence on the media and it should not be kept back. Many things have happened in the past that led many believers astray. The catastrophic events that led them away were not as saddening as the silence of those who could have stopped it. The silence of the church has led many in the valley of decisions to make the wrong decision. Bible says that in the multitude of counsel, there is safety. This thought brings to mind the Thyatiran church. The error of that church was not as a result of what they did. It wasn't because they believed something wrong. It was because they kept quiet about what wa...

    In February 2020, the Holy Ghost told me about a meeting that would hold in heaven about kingdom agents in Nigeria. I asked for a memo of the discussion and He was gracious to bring me a memo of that meeting. Two things were highlighted in that meeting. First is the lack of knowledge among kingdom agents. This made me sober and determined to seek God more in fasting and studying. I have learned great things about establishing God’s kingdom on the earth in the past 5 months have been so enormous that I give glory to God for access. The journey has been filled with many books and I will share a review of one of them. It is titled ‘The Three Battlegrounds’ by Francis Frangipane. I came across this book in 2012 and I read a part of it then, but I have taken my time to chew it during the period of the lock down. The fact that it was written as far as 30 years ago gives me a lot of goose bumps. The material is one I find very useful for the army of the Lord in this last days. ...

Seven days ago, I celebrated my birthday and I must say that I felt more peaceful about this year's birthday than last year's. 2019 was a tough year. I started doing very well. I had a relatively good job that was flexible enough to accommodate ministry and also encouraged me to start my own business along side. February and March, I was caught up in fasting and praying for the Nigerian general elections. When, Seyi Makinde won the governorship election in Oyo state, I was full of gratitude, I never knew what was coming won't be palatable. Towards the end of March, she said no. After having faith for 6 months! I mean, I did a full time diploma in Waiting, Calling and Trusting! Don't laugh at me; I was in love. I have learned my lesson and completely moved on. Incidentally, today is her birthday. She wouldn't read this though. Fast forward to June, the major project we were doing at my work place for the government was not attended to again and wor...

When I picked up the book to read, I expected to see some 'mighty' words and teachings because I have always known her to be a ‘deep’ teacher, however I simply wanted to learn about the dynamics of intercession more, but what I met was a very simplified exhortation about prayer. This is the first book written by Cindy Trimm I will read. I particularly find her writing pattern different from many Christian authors. She writes in a fascinating manner that makes you want to read more. This book centers on how much can be achieved when we pray. She didn't share anything 'deep', but the book broke me and remolded me to become more like Jesus Intimacy is the theme of the writing and I relearnt intimacy in a beautiful way. Chapter to chapter, she laid it bare that you cannot achieve anything extraordinary if you don't pray. No. Scratch that. You can achieve extraordinary things through prayers. She expounded the Lord's Prayer and supported every p...

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 th...
