DISCERN

Image
Parents, Pastors, Mentors and Leaders,  If your child, flock, mentee or follower is expressing some deep concern, or is questioning something or someone, or doesn’t feel right about going ahead with a decision whether as serious as marriage or as mundane as going to school on a particular day, or warns about a looming danger either with certain persons in the household, neighborhood, school or church or anywhere, you would do well to pay close attention and take necessary precaution to avoid regrets over avoidable unwanted situations later. I clearly remember the life-altering story by a close relative of a little child waking up early one morning to strangely tell a mother that she didn’t want to go to school that day but the mother shoved it aside as mere child talk and quickly prepared everything as usual and took the child to school, only for the child to be shockingly and mysteriously kidnapped on that particular day and that mother never saw the child again until she passed f...

FORGIVE YOURSELF

Image
Forgive yourself for marrying wrongly. Forgive yourself for your haunting past. You’ve been totally distraught about it. You were deeply disappointed in yourself  For the grossly suboptimal decision. You’re disillusioned by the situation. You’ve mourned for too long a time. You tried to drown it in many ways. You ran away, hid and evaded it. You tried to medicate yourself. You analyzed all the known facts. You rationalized and reviewed. You extrapolated and evaluated. You have long realized your folly. You have understood the gap. You’re learning the big lesson. Good, you took responsibility  But… You blamed yourself. You fought yourself. You punished yourself. Or at least, you took the pain. You welcomed the punishment. You met it with a sorrowful smile. You rejected pointless proposals. You refuted non-healing propositions. You received the deserved judgment. You embraced the strokes. You went all the way. You didn’t hate you. But… You didn’t spare you.  You wanted you ...

THE EVANGELISTS

Image
This is a list of empowered evangelists whose mighty ministries have been widely acclaimed and well-known in my home country Nigeria, and across the continent of Africa, and also globally. They have directly impacted me and many others with the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, with notable miracles, signs and wonders. This list here is limited to evangelists who I have had the privilege of listening to, personally being in their meetings and also reading their books.  Especially those who served within my country. Perhaps, I may do another on the pastoral office. Benson Idahosa , a Nigerian-born pioneer of citywide Gospel campaigns, who had tremendous influence and the powerful gifts of faith, healing and working of miracles. He was bold and audacious. He began ministry in 1968. I watched many videos of his powerful preaching and the mighty manifestations of God’s power. I read his biography, Fire In His Bones: The Story of Benson Idahosa,  written by Ruthanne Garlock. He w...

ACCIDENT?

Image
Yesterday. Wednesday, 15 October 2025. A vehicle coming in the opposite direction and on the other lane came with full speed into our lane and ran into us in a heavy crash. The impact was massive with the sound of clashing and mangling metals. It seemed targeted. It came directly for us.  Our driver was seriously impacted. The front passenger had some cuts and hurt. The three of us behind had a few bruises and bangs. I was under the rubble. We jacked up the metallic cobweb with help from few bystanders or passersby, and we walked out. We were five men.  Writing this, I remember something my father had told me.  Also, about three weeks ago, I was in a meeting with my lawyer and a tenant, then the word “accident” suddenly came to me in a flash as I spoke with them.  My words were precise: “They arrange it to look like an accident.”  Right then I noted that different things could be arranged and manipulated to look like accidents of sorts, from domestics to travels...

SATAN TRIED

Image
  Has Satan tried you? How has Satan tried you? They tried poison, accident, espionage, death of loved ones, loss of marriage, loss of income, loss of opportunities, sabotage, setup, slander, substance, spite, psychological trigger, vexation, false witness, reproach, rejection, ridicule, gross undermining, exploitation, abuse, taking undue advantage, deception, violation, seduction, betrayal, etc.  Like he used on Jesus the Son of God.  If Satan and his subjects aren’t mad at you, then you are not making true impact in the spirit realm. Satan hates God and all that belong to God. He hates the elect of God and works night and day to discredit, disconcert, distract, distress, dissipate, disillusion, denigrate, devastate or destroy them. He touches externals. That’s what he can do.  In the spirit, God’s people are seated far above. So Satan persecutes their flesh. Like Paul’s thorn in the flesh. He uses people like Judas to bait and betray. He uses rogue religion to con...

LOVE KNOWS

Image
Sometimes we like people because we don’t know them. Sometimes we dislike people because we don’t know them. Like and dislike can be based on lack of knowledge. That’s why ignorance can be blissful. Just as it can be dangerously deceitful. Ignorance can be (misinformed) love and trust. Lack of awareness can be seen as boldness. True love is based on true knowledge. I repeat: love must know. Love is not ignorant. Love is based on precise, accurate knowledge. Love is not foolishly blind but can overlook flaws. The metaphorical blindness of love is not complete oblivion, careless oversight or dysfunction-enabling negligence.  Rather, it is the choice of commitment not to allow shortcomings to overshadow or eclipse strengths.  To not throw away the baby with the bathwater. For you to truly love a person, you must know the good and the bad about the person and still truly care about them and desire the best for them.  Seek self-knowledge and self-understanding. Also, seek to k...

LOVE AND BE LOVED

Image
Those who are not patient with you do not love you.  Vice versa.  If you seem too impatient or overly restless with and hyper irritated by someone’s natural behavior or growth process which should include their flaws, then you may not love them as much as you should.  Or you may not be their “chosen one”, if it’s in terms of marriage or close relationship. And that may be okay. It shows you who you should bond with. Definitely, they’re not your inner-circle person. All these are indicative not indicting. So use the knowledge positively not negatively. Let me reiterate: If you’re deeply impatient with someone, it could indicate that you don’t understand their journey or you have outgrown their company or you don’t love them. And if you don’t love them, then you are not part of their assignment. Love is patient.  God will allow many situations to reveal this to you.  Watch and play, my friend.  Watch. See the prompts, patterns, signs and symptoms.  Analy...
