Heart of the Wise

A prophetic psalm  The Lord hides himself Yes, God amidst mortals Shows up as the unknown Came from humble home Lived as an ordinary man  Saw what men did to him  Malhanded their Creator Oblivious of spirit identity  They showed true indices The scope of their hearts So judgment can be just And justice determined  So the full scale is seen A cup takes all pouring  Till it is filled to the brim Then it overflows—spills Content not re-contained  Some trust in the chariots Some defined holy amiss Limited their applications Of what needs be holistic Blessed are the merciful  For they shall get mercy You who did show mercy You have given blessings Come into the light now To reveal yourself clearly  So yours will come to you Blessed be the Lord God Be blessed of the Lord 🙏

In honor of a great leader, nation builder and elder statesman (now he is still alive), by way of listing some of his significant contributions to Nigeria’s socio-economic development and foreign affairs. Chief Olusegun Matthew Okikiola Ogunboye Aremu Obasanjo GCFR, born 5 March 1937, is a Nigerian politician, agriculturalist and former army general.  After his earlier role as a military head of state from 1976 to 1979, Chief Obasanjo served as Nigeria’s civilian president from 1999 to 2007.  His presidency was marked by key administrative reforms and economic growth initiatives including debt relief and telecommunications reforms. Fortunately, during his tenure, oil prices rose, giving the country increased earnings from oil exports.  Having benefited from high international oil prices during his first presidential term, his government planned both to increase Nigeria's oil output and to produce increasing quantities of liquefied natural gas, which was first exported in ...

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 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 ...

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...

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...
