Have you done your 5min Prayer for NIG today?

If not, it's not too late to get started.

We must never entertain the idea of tiredness, giving-up or surrendering to the dictates of d wicked few in Nig

They will DRY UP like leaves in summer.
This is their lot

Isaiah 1:30-31 NIV

#Lamentations Chapter 5 sums up everything happening in NIGERIA. From banditry-kidnapping-herdsmen-landgrabbers-bad governance-Ineptitude etc.

Powerfully described in the scriptures, but, there is a solution at the end

Lamentations 5:1 MSG
"Remember, God, all we've been through. Study our plight, the black mark we've made in history. (THE NEEDLESS PLIGHT OF NIGERIANS BROUGHT ABOUT BY BAD GOVERNANCE IS UNPRECEDENTED)

Lamentations 5:2 Our precious land has been given to outsiders, our homes to strangers. (FOREIGN HERDSMEN FREELY & FORCEFULLY GIVEN OUR LAND

Lamentations 5:3 Orphans we are, not a father in sight, and our mothers no better than widows. (THE NARRATIVES OF SOME NIGERIANS WHO HAVE BEEN AT THE MERCY OF BANDITS, TERRORISTS & HERDSMEN)

Lamentations 5:4 We have to pay to drink our own water. Even our firewood comes at a price (IS THERE ANYONE NOT PAYING MORE FOR BASIC NEEDS, EVEN, INSPITE OF HEAVY TAXATIONS & CHARGES.)

Anytime God is involved..

Of a truth, everytime d Almighty God steps in, d outcome is predictable. Here I am studying once again, d book of Exo 14....it must have been a time of fear & trepidation for d israelites. they were indeed stuck
b/w d red sea & Pharaoh's merciless army

There was obviously no way of escape. The predictable end of that situation was either death for the Israelites or a journey back into slavery. Unknown to anyone at that time, God was setting the stage up to display His awesomeness & power again. Pharaoh must have felt real good

Having the advantage, but, he could only see as "far" as his eyes could see.
He thought to himself, "I have closed them in...
Exo 14:3 "Pharaoh will think, 'The Israelites are lost; they're confused. The wilderness has closed in on them.'
And here was God laughing there in heaven

Seeing how a mere man was acting like the aloha & omega.
The pressure was now in Moses to do something...only God knows what was going thru Moses' mind at that time, & while he was waiting in God, he heard God speaking again in

"don't wait in Me anymore, Move.. the deed is done."
Exodus 14:13 Moses spoke to the people: "Don't be afraid. Stand firm and watch God do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you're never going to see them again.
What reassuring words

*Luke 1:46 MSG*
And Mary said, I'm bursting with *God-news* ;
👇🏼
*Note* , she wasn't bursting with *Good news,* but with *God news.* 💃🏼
👇🏼
Sometimes, when God blesses one, it is difficult to describe the blessing or the feeling.🤔

👉🏼No name or nomenclature would adequately describe the blessing or feeling.🤔
👇🏼
Mary was in that state. She did not know how to describe the blessing God just bestowed on her, hence, she called it *God News* instead of *Good News* .

*This week* 👇🏼
The kind of blessings you will receive from God, will be too difficult to describe...like Mary, you will label it *God News* in Jesus name💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

Personal Prayer Walk Chronicles, 11th March, 2023...

I REALLY HAVE A ?? this mornin

Anyways, Woke up this mornin with so much energy(glory to God), at a time, I was considering walking from ABEOKUTA- Ibadan just to show that my frenemy, Pst. @Abel2goupOla that I was fitter.. 😂

Anyways, I set out early praying in tongues, which is my usual practice, but, midway, I decided to listen to one of the audio messages on my phone. The lot fell on Pst. E.A. Adeboye's message, titled, "THE CREATIVE POWER OF GOD'S WORD"

His Word can CREATE, CALL FORTH, CANCEL,

OBTAIN etc. It can serve in every capacity and can do all things, even d imagined stuffs can b brought to manifestation.
📌
Making time to study His Word is really underrated. Many today just glance thru & rush off. This will not help. We must make time in d midst of no time.
📌

Now, indulge me to ask you these simple questions.
📍
When was the last time you came to the altar of Prayer, just to guage your relationship with God?

Have you noticed or observed that, We monitor almost everything in our lives?

From the petrol in our car to that in our generators.

We monitor the money in our banks as well as that in our pocket....

#We monitor our performances at work and those of our subordinates...

#We monitor our health,

A SHORT EXHORTATION

THEME- KEEPING OUR FINGERS CROSSED
📌
You see, With God, keeping our fingers crossed connotes probability.

God doesn't make predictions. He makes promises and He keeps them. We must believe in order to receive.
📌

Habakkuk 2v3 AMP
For the vision is yet for AN APPOINTED TIME and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; IT WILL NOT DECEIVE OR DISAPPOINT. THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT [EARNESTLY] for it, because it will SURELY come; it will not be behindhand on ITS APPOINTED DAY.

3.
I deliberately changed some very key words in the passage to CAPITAL LETTERS to really drive home what God requires.

1. AN APPOINTED TIME.
Yes, there is an APPOINTED TIME. It may look like your "time" has passed in your eyes and in the eyes of everyone around you,

4.
but, the truth is, who set the time, you or God?
Time may have passed, but, your SET TIME has not.

2. IT WILL NOT DECEIVE OR DISAPPOINT.
God's word neither deceives nor disappoint.
📌
Joshua 21:45 MSG
Not one word failed from all d good words God spoke to the house of Israel

5.
Everything came out right.

At your SET TIME, everything will come out right. All the discouraging stuffs you are seeing now are all working for your good. You will see clearly at the end.

3. THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT [EARNESTLY] for it,

God, Help Me.(three underrated words)

Oftentimes, It is awfully difficult to ask "man" for help.

Sometimes, You ask, and you get helped.

You ask, they are willing to help, but, are not available.

Sometimes too, they are available, but, lack the capacity to help.

Some help you and it comes at a cost....they make you feel like a failure, a begger and even make you feel less of yourself.

The Bible therefore puts it this way in
Psalm 60:11 KJV
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

Some men may even want to help, but, expect something in return.... something you may not be willing to give if not for the unpalatable situation you found yourself in.

Others put conditions ahead, before they help.

Some help you and you become a public ridicule.

But, there is one who is a ready help in times of trouble. Available at all times.

Bishop Benson Idahosa put it this way;
"No One that said "God help me" has God ever denied help"

He went further to say;

When it's rough, say, God, Help me.
When it's tough, say, God, Help me.

When you don't know what to do, say, God, Help me.

When you're in trouble, say, God, Help me.
When you're weak, say, God, Help me.
When you're down, say God, Help me.

When you're in the valley of confusion, say, God, help me.

Was Studying about the prophet Eli this morning and I had a few "What if" kind of scenerio on my mind. (My usual practice when studying. I try to paint a scenero, asking myself what I would have done if I was the one)

When Eli and his son's did what God considered evil, He (God)

decided to reign judgement upon them.

1 Samuel 3:14 MSG
This is my sentence on the family of Eli: The evil of Eli's family can never be wiped out by sacrifice or offering."😱😱
1 Samuel 3:18
So Samuel told him, word for word. He held back nothing. Eli said, "He is God. Let him

do whatever He thinks best."

It's like telling your boss or the authority over you to do what he or she thinks best, even, after it had been established that you goofed big time. (Trust me, that is a very poor response)

Concerning Eli's family, they had really goofed and no one

was in doubt about their excesses.

Now, I thought of a few "what IFs.."

What if Prophet Eli had asked for mercy and promised to do the needful about his son's excesses this time around.

What if, from the foregoing, he relieved his son's from their priestly duties.

What if his sons were spoilt brats and he had lost control over them, rendering him helpless.

What if Eli was afraid of a faceoff with his over pampered sons.

What if he had asked God for strength to redress, this time around, the situation

What if he felt this overwhelming

Tomorrow's Prayer & Intercession will be very "LOUD..." like we say in our popular parlance, "Oma Loud Gaan"

Theme - EASY VICTORY.

1 Kings 22:15b MSG
"An easy victory. God's gift to the king."
God is about to gift you an EASY VICTORY.
God has taken over that battle

2 Chro 20:15 MSG
This is God's war, not yours.

When it's God's war, no weapon is needed.

When it's God's war, the outcome is predictable

2 Chronicles 20:17a MSG
You won't have to lift a hand in this battle; just stand firm, Judah and Jerusalem, and watch God's saving work for

you take shape...

When it's God's War,
He does the fighting, & we carry off the plunder

2 Chronicles 20:25 MSG
When Jehoshaphat and his people came to carry off the plunder they found more loot than they could carry off - equipment, clothing, valuables. It took three days to

This New Week...

🔰WORD4TODAY🔰

Eze 34:15 MSG
"'Therefore, God, the Master, says: *I myself am stepping in* & making things right.

❤️I love that part, "I myself, am stepping in."

👉🏼When God says, He Himself is stepping in, then, something never before seen is about to happen

👉🏼
He is about to give that situation a complete "KNOCKOUT"

👉🏼IN *Exo 14:13 KJV
And Moses said unto d pple, Fear ye not, stand still, & see d salvation of d Lord, which he will shew to u to day: *for d Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever

When God Himself takes on a situation, that situation will never be seen again.
👇🏼
May God Himself step 🐾 into that *long standing battle, seasonal battle and awaiting battle* and give a permanent solution to their harassment in Jesus name.

My ABEOKUTA-Lagos Train trip dairy, 17th February, 2022

This is without Prejudice

A mixture of the Good, The Bad & The Ugly

It's supposed to be my first train ride & this is my personal experience.

The Good.
@AdedotunTaiwo
@llawal_latifah

First and foremost, the idea of initiating and completing this laudable and long awaited infrastructure, is awesome. Kudos to the Buhari administration for it's completion.

I was inbound, Lagos. (My bitter sweet experience)
D journey from my home to d station began at 6.15am,

all in an attempt to avoid the rush for tickets. The station which is about 8km from my home started on a good note. I had planned to take a cab to the station, a break from the accompanying stress of driving to Lagos. (We all know Lagos is not an easy place to drive to)

At exactly 6.20am, a flagged down an incoming car, thinking it was a cab, as the atmosphere was still a bit foggy, and difficult to make out which car was approaching. The driver stopped and to my disappointment, it wasn't a cab, but, a privately own car. The driver bent over and

asked me to come in, I asked how much to the nearest destination to the terminal, and he said, "don't worry, just hop in, I just want to help you"

The first yeye thought that came to my head was, "look well before you enter o, we don't want stories that touch in these days of
