The Roll


The mindless killings and kidnappings around the globe especially in our clime at this time have increased to an unprecedented sad level. The questions that are being asked in a lot of hearts and fora are: why is this happening, where is the face and love of God, how could He allow this to happen and many more of such. This had affected the walk of so many with God and made many more resolve not to follow God; equally, some have resolved to draw closer to God in the light of these strange and worrisome events. The truth is, the world is filled with darkness that is affecting the thoughts, actions and life in general of the people. The world believes that the best solution to this darkness is to create more darkness by taking God out of the lives of people. As long as the Creator is taken away from His creation, darkness will reign. In Genesis 1:3, the Bible says darkness was on the earth and the face of the deep until God spoke light into it. And we know that where there is darkness nothing thrives. In the gospel of John 1:4, we were told that God is Life and the Life is the light of men. It then follows that if God is taken out of the equation of creation, darkness reigns! The creation was not designed to exist without its Creator. Taking the Creator out is a recipe for a great disaster as we are witnessing globally. The world has consistently, especially in developed economies, tried to take God away from their lives, is there any wonder then the rise in mindless murders and kidnappings and macabre behaviour by the inhabitants of the world? It is not about legislating stricter and more stringent laws but it is about each individual doing a rethink and returning back to God his Creator. The light of this world is not in man’s intelligence or prowess but in God Himself. If this is not done, then the world and the people will remain bewildered and confused about the growing darkness. The Bible tells us in Revelations 1:1-3 “The revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave Him to show His slaves what must quickly take place. He sent it and signified it through His angel to His slave John, who testified to God’s word and to the testimony about Jesus Christ in all he saw. Blessed is the one who reads and blessed are those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep what is written in it, because the time is near.” God Himself gave the revelation of His Son to His Son to show to His followers and disciples. Everything we need for a life in the light devoid of darkness can only be found in the revelation of Jesus Christ. The world has tried and still tries to circumvent this and as a result, it is plummeting fast into an abyss of darkness and moral decadence. The 3rd verse declares any man that reads and hears the word of this prophecy is blessed. If truly you cannot seem to understand or make sense of the happenings around you, it is not to blame God or look for ways outside of Him to remedy the situation. You may get temporary relief, but on the long run such situations will degenerate and become worse than the first instance. Friend, there is no other way and the answers cannot be found in legislative chambers, bank vaults or the halls of human reasoning and logic, but the answers can only be found in God Himself. The revelation is in Him and it carries His instruction for you on what to do and how to walk. It is time to truly seek His face as to what to do in order to roll back this darkness. God bless you.

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...

Are You A True Disciple? Part 1

       This decade opened with very dire straits for mankind, as many people around the world woke up to a world that stood still as each nation shut their borders, homes and institutions shutting their doors. If many had been told this scenario could happen a couple of decades ago, one would say it was crazily impossible. But it did happen! Many lives and livelihoods were destroyed, and many institutions and lifestyles, including the Church, were affected. As terrible as the times were and still are, it is exposing the hearts and state of many 'sons of God'!         Many wondered aloud, 'What does the devil want for causing all this havoc?' And some went further to ask, 'What does God want?' The answer to both questions is 'Man' (male and female)! It is a battle between the Kingdom of God and darkness for the soul of man. As a result, man is being prepared both by God and the devil for eternity with either!         ...

It Is Time To Raise A Cry For Nigeria!

  "The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:6-8).         Listening to a brother detailing how Nigeria will be great again because it was foretold decades ago, I quieted down in my spirit to listen to him. According to him, the prophecies of old say that Nigeria will become a beacon of God's light to the rest of the world as they carry His Word to the rest of the world, especially in Africa. He enumerated the many qualities of Nigeria, especially the spiritual significance of her position within the continent of Africa. She will be used by God to trigger the last move of revival in the last days, he continued.         I listened attentively,...
