This is another year, I have made up my mind that I am going to fast from today being 1st January non-stop to 31st December of this year 2025. I want to mainly praying in tongues and seek the face of God.

This year, I want to go deeper with God, I want to tap into that ancient power. Let me tell you, generals are not made overnight. They paid a price for it.

For you to be recognized by hell and be feared by the kingdom of darkness, there is a price to pay. These things are not gotten overnight. You have to spend time and tarry in the presence of God until you are endued with power from on high

I want my spiritual life this year to be better than last year, it is going to take a lot of sacrifice, discipline and consecration.

By the special grace of God, I have started, I have set the ball rolling. Today's prayer was wonderful and powerful the spirit of God came down mightily into my room and we had a nice time together. I prayed in tongues for hours and was edified. Glory to God.

Don't just stop at being a Christian, it doesn't end there. There is a special power that God has deposited in you as his child or daughter, it is left for you to find it out. It is not going to be easy, but I assure you, If you find it out, you are a general in the army of the Lord.

That is what I am going to do this year, I will not rest until I discover that ancient power. Jesus told his disciples to tarry in Jerusalem until they be ended with power from on high. That is what I have just started. Who is with me, who is ready to pay the price.

Remember the journey of a thousand miles starts with a step.

Yesterday's Midnight prayer was powerful, it was something else.

I put my alarm so that it can wake me up by 12. As soon as I work up, I sang a few songs and entered into warfare prayers.

As I began to pray shortly in my own language, the Holy Ghost took over, and I began to pray in tongues. I have never experienced this kind of tongues before. It was tongues of warfare and groaning in the spirit combined together, it was deadly.

I prayed for approximately 1 hour in tongues of warfare. Oh how sweet is it when the Holy Ghost is the one assisting us to pray, instead of us praying by our own wisdom.

I can boldly say that I inflicted great terror, harm and injury to the kingdom of darkness. It gives me joy when their kingdom is being pummeled and bulldozed.

I have come to discover something, there are different kind of tongues based on my own experience.

There are tongues of worship, there are tongues of prayer and intercession, there are tongues of prophecy, there is what is called groaning in tongues and there is tongues of warfare. This tongues of warfare happens especially at midnight night.

Desire this gift of tongues, with it, the Holy Ghost will enable and assist you to pray, it will make your prayer life easier and effective.

I just finished my praying and fasting which starts from 6 in the morning till 12 in the afternoon.

I have heard stories of people praying till all their bodies from head to toe were saoked with sweat. Well it happened today.

I started my prayers around 9 am this morning. I wanted to start with songs of praise as I normally do. Immediately I started with songs of praise, the presence of God came down mightily and I was under the influence of the spirit. The spirit of God literally took over.

Before I knew it, I found myself groaning in tongues. I groaned in tongues for almost two hours. My whole body was soaked with sweat from head to toe.

After that, I rested a little. By 11am I started to sing hymns. I sang hymns till 11.30am. I started again to pray, I groaned in tongues again till 12.30 before I concluded my prayer.

After the prayer I stood up to go out of my room, but I couldn't walk normally l was wondering what was happening. I was staggering under the influence of the Holy Spirit. It was a while before the effect left me before I could regain my composure.

Glory be to God for such a wonderful time spent in His presence.

Friday 03 January, 2025.

I started with my normal daily prayer. There is something that I am noticing lately. The Holy Spirit recently doesn't even allow me to praise Him much.

As soon as I start with songs of praise and worship, the Holy Ghost takes over immediately. I also noticed that my tongues have changed. I no longer pray in tongues much. What happens is that as soon as Holy Ghost takes over, I find myself groaning in the spirit. This has become something else.

Today's groaning was something else, the Holy Ghost pinned me down to a kneeling position while I groaned my prayers out. It was a painful position, not comfortable at all. But it is worth it.

My happiness is that I no longer pray by my own understanding. The Holy Ghost takes over my prayers by Himself and releases me whenever He is through.

Lord I want more and more of you. I want to go deeper into your spirit. Help me Holy Spirit.

Keep on going brother. I will pitch my tent here.

Ancient power that even your scammers-in-the-lords — none of them— have been able to tap into given the fact that they rely 100% upon that which they obtain from their gullible followers? I doubt you can tap into any powers except the power to scam using the script given to you by those charlatans.

By the way, if this is some sort of diary for you, why not take it to the Diary section of Nairaland?

Grace to hear God's voice is very important.

Thank you very much sir. I will try my best to be updating this thread with my daily prayer experiences and other useful information that can edify the people of God.

Look at how a grown own up man like you is displaying his ignorance and foolishness in this public forum. Why not ignore this post if you don't understand a bit of what I am writing.

This post is is for spiritual people that wants to go deeper into the things of the spirit and not for people like you.

Next time if you see anything that is above your reasoning, just ignore it, instead of disgracing yourself.

How did you know that God absolutely has nothing to do with Nigeria. I can see that you are God's mouth piece. Shame on you.

Amazing bro

Pls keep it going, I'm enjoying every bit of it.

It's like you are new to this forum?

Just ignore that clown bro.

If you are a spiritual man, there are some kind of songs you need to be listening to always. It is not every gospel song that I listen to.

Whenever I want to ascend into another realm, these are the songs I listen to.

1. Adullam by Theophilus Sunday.
2. Another Measure by Theophilus Sunday.
3. For your name is Holy by Paul Wilbur.
4. Baruch et Adonai. by Paul Wilbur
5. Yaweh by Minister Simple.
6. Eze mmuo by Chioma Jesus.
7. I love the way you Father me by Ebuka.
8. Yeshua by Bethel Music.
10. O digi onye gi naya n'achi eze. Amongs others.

Like Adullam, the first time I listened to it, I started laughing uncontrollably, the Spirit inside of me was stirred up, I found myself crying. Before I knew it, I was transported into another realm. I was blasting in tongues, whatsoever was happening in my environment, I was unaware of it.

All these songs, you can get them free in YouTube.

The fastest way to stir up the spirit of God inside of you and get it to roar is when listening to spiritual songs and chants.

The master of spiritual songs and chants currently is Theophilus Sunday, I give the credit to Him. Always listen to songs that will make you to ascend.

Stop listening to these wordly songs, it will take you to no where, it will only stirr up your emotions and nothing more. It has nothing to offer, Satan is just using it to cheat and distract you. Some of them are inspired by demons. As you listen to them, you are opening portals or gateways for demonic possession.

It has gone to the extent in my life that I feel like a stranger in this world, infact the things of this world does not matter to me again, the kind of boldness in me has made it in such a way that I am no more afraid of death.

I love Jesus so dearly and I am ready to die for Him. Remember what Jesus said, whosoever shall hate his life for my sake shall gain it.

Let me tell you, this life we are living is a mirage. The real life is in the spirit. We are strangers and pilgrims in this world, the real life starts after death. Don't take the things of this world serious. Handle it with a loose hands because you will drop all of them behind if you die.

Because the God of Israel whom you pretend to believe in made clear that His one and only people are the people of Israel -- those who are of the bloodline of Jacob, His Servant.

That is an incomplete truth, as such, a lie— you are of your father the Devil.


Israel was chosen not only for their sake but also to be a light to the nations (Isaiah 42:6, Isaiah 49:6). Through Israel, God intended to reveal His character, His law, and His plan of redemption for all humanity. It could have been any nation.

This mission culminated in the coming of Jesus Christ, who was born of the lineage of Israel (Matthew 1:1-17).


The Inclusion of Gentiles:

While the Old Testament focuses on Israel, it also foretells God's plan to include the Gentiles (non-Israelites) in His salvation:

God's promise to Abraham included blessings for "all nations" through his seed (Genesis 12:3).

Prophecies like Isaiah 56:6-8 and Zechariah 2:11 speak of Gentiles joining themselves to the Lord.


In the New Testament, this inclusion is fulfilled through Jesus Christ:

Jesus preached to Jews but also reached out to Gentiles (e.g., the Samaritan woman in John 4, the healing of the centurion's servant in Matthew 8:5-13).

Paul explicitly teaches that salvation is for both Jews and Gentiles, united in Christ (Galatians 3:28-29, Romans 1:16, Ephesians 2:11-22).


In fact Hebrews 12:18-24 speaks of a coming to a heavenly Jerusalem; talking about believers.

There's a plethora of scriptures that tell us that those who are believers are true Israelites, not those of the physical descent. If truly you read and understood scriptures, you would know this.

Has God forsaken the physical Israel as a nation? —No.

1. Stop lying! 🙄

2. Scripture, even the very ones you quoted including the first use of the term Gentiles in Scripture reveals that the term only applies to people of the same family or clan. The same you saw this used in Genesis 10 when the term was applied to those who were of the family of Japheth. The establishment of the Law of Moses equally established the family of Israel as the context for the use of the term Gentile by the Prophets of Israel in all of the Old Testament since they all served as servants of the God of Israel who established the Nation of Israel of the family of Israel. Attempt by religion, particularly Christianity to bastardize this original definition cannot change the facts.

3. You do understand that you continue to cast Jesus Christ of Israel who clearly warned against giving the Holy Gospel to the dogs — non-Israelites— as a liar, even while you continue to deceive us into believing His Word means Truth to you, right? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We have talked about this earlier but you couldn't see the truth because you have a heart of stone; unable to discern spiritual things.

Gentiles in Scripture

The term "Gentiles" (from the Hebrew goyim) indeed first appears in Genesis 10:5, referring to the descendants of Japheth and their nations. However, its meaning develops throughout Scripture to refer broadly to nations or peoples outside Israel.

Old Testament Context: While "Gentiles" often refers to non-Israelite nations, it is clear from the Prophets that God's plan always envisioned reaching beyond Israel. Examples include:

Isaiah 49:6: "I will make you a light for the Gentiles."

Zechariah 8:22: "Many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the Lord Almighty."


New Testament Context: The term expands further to include all nations apart from Israel, with a focus on the inclusion of non-Israelites in God’s salvation plan through Jesus Christ.

You reference Jesus’ statement in Matthew 15:24, where He says, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel," and His warning about giving "what is holy to the dogs" in Matthew 7:6. These statements highlight the priority of His mission to Israel, but they do not exclude Gentiles outright.

Jesus and the Gentiles:

In Matthew 15:21-28, Jesus heals the Canaanite woman’s daughter, affirming her faith despite His initial statement.

He heals the centurion’s servant in Matthew 8:5-13, marveling at the centurion’s faith.


The Great Commission: After His resurrection, Jesus commands His disciples to "go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19). This demonstrates the global scope of His mission.


Your constant assertion that Jesus’ warning about giving the Gospel to "dogs" implies exclusivity to Israelites is one interpretation. However, it’s essential to consider:

Cultural Context: The term "dogs" was a common Jewish idiom for Gentiles, reflecting the cultural divisions of the time. Jesus uses this term to challenge assumptions and highlight the faith of those considered outsiders.

Scriptural Harmony: The entirety of the New Testament, particularly Paul's writings (e.g., Ephesians 2:11-22), affirms that Gentiles are included in the Gospel.





For respect of truth:
The Gospel does not deny Israel's unique role in God’s plan but extends God's blessings to all who believe in Christ, whether Jew or Gentile (Galatians 3:28). This expansion aligns with God's promise to Abraham that "all nations" would be blessed through him (Genesis 12:3).

If your interpretation sees the Gospel as exclusive to physical Israel, it’s worth asking:

How do you reconcile passages like Isaiah 49:6 and Matthew 28:19?

What do you make of Paul’s mission to the Gentiles, commissioned by Jesus Himself (Acts 9:15)?


I appreciate the dialogue, thank you.

I already told you to stop posting religious gobbledegook at me since I rarely ever read them at all. Stop wasting your time and effort typing up all of that meaningless hogwash and answer the question.

I am simply here for logical responses and nothing else. If you have ever in fact read the books of Scripture, you would have realized by now that the God of Israel and Jesus Christ or Israel were in fact logical in their communications with their many servants. They each gave their Law/Gospel to their people on which all of their relationship, interactions/communications were based. Why you think it is OK to throw out logic and ability to critically reason issues based on records is beyond me.

Yes they were logical. Yet, many times his audience failed to grasp what was communicated, why?

My answers to your question(s) is(are) there.

If you fail to read them, there can be no communication between us; no meaningful understanding of one another.

Nachmonides:
➜Yes they were logical. Yet, many times his audience failed to grasp what was communicated, why?

There is actually not true at all! It is not true to claim that they failed to grasp what was communicated to them. Rather, the people chose to ignore the simple logic of the God of Israel and Jesus Christ of Israel, only to assert their ideas and opinions much like you are doing right now above the logic of the God of Israel and Jesus Christ of Israel. 🤔

For instance, Jesus Christ of Israel made abundantly clear by way of many declarations in the book of Matthew as well as the other Gospels that His Father, YHWH of Israel, sent Him only to the Lost Sheep of Israel. But here you are insisting that Jesus Christ of Israel and YHWH of Israel — since Jesus Christ of Israel is said to have spoken only the Words of YHWH of Israel directly —must have lied in that statement, suggesting instead that Jesus Christ of Israel was sent even to non-Israelites. Clearly, you do not fail to grasp. Rather, you outrightly reject what has been communicated from over 2000 years ago. 🤔

Your religious ramblings aren't answers. Religion never actually provides answers to questions rather what it does is spew forth more contradictions creating even more questions than you previously had.

The two can mix.

✦ Why do you reject His assertion that His disciples only go to those who are of Israel and not to those who are not of Israel?
✦ Why do you reject His clear teaching that only those who are of the blood line of Israel — all nations — be made disciples of His?

I will like to share with you how I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

After reading this, you will discover that God is sovereign, He does things His own way and no one can manipulating Him in away to solve their problems.

It happened that after I gave my life to Christ, I began to desire for the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. So I prayed earnestly for it, I fasted, I did many things in order to receive this gift, all to no avail.

I read books and articles concerning the baptism of the Holy Ghost written by Kumuyi, yonggi cho, Kenneth Copeland and online authors concerning this definite experience. I tried to apply by faith whatsoever that is written there. I followed their instructions step by step detailed in their books on how to recieve this gift of the Holy Ghost, which is speaking in tongues. But none of them worked out.

According to what they wrote in their books, after I prayed for the baptism of the Holy Ghost, I have to act by faith by opening my mouth for the Holy Ghost to fill it. I tried everything possible to 'Force' God to give me this gift, none to avail.

At a point, I gave up. I said it was not possible, that it was a scam. I concluded that they were speaking gibberish and nonsense. Infact, I hated anyone that spoke in tongues. Whenever I am watching my cable television and I see preachers speaking in tongues, I get offended and irritated, I immediately off or change the channel to something else.

I stopped praying about it and even forgot about it. Whenever I pray, I pray in own language, English or Igbo. But one thing I didn't know that God heard my prayer to speak in tongues and was waiting for the day it will manifest.

So on that faithful day, 31st May, 2024, I decided to praise God and do nothing else. I first of all started singing hymns to Him. After I sang hymns, I read songs of praise to Him from a particular song book. After reading the songs, I was not satisfied. Once it was 4 in the evening, I entered into praise and worship proper. I started singing praises to God. I praised God with all my heart. After that, I entered into worship proper. I worshipped God with songs with all my heart. After that, I decided to offer prayer of praise and thanksgiving to God.

After I did that, I was tired. I decided to sit down because I have been standing all the while. As I sat down, I felt a sensation in my body. I sensed in my spirit that something was about to happen. Before I knew it, something began to move in my stomach, from there, it came to my mouth. Before I knew it, my mouth opened on its own and I started to speak in tongues. It was coming out with full force and uncontrollably. It was something I had never experienced before. I spoke in tongues for more than 45 minutes. It didn't want to stop. Infact, I forced myself to stop it. It was a blissful experience. God baptized me with the Holy Ghost with the initial experience of speaking in tongues.

From that time it became a daily occurrence. The next day, as I desired to pray in tongues, I found myself singing in tongues. What a wonderful experience. From that time, my life has never remained the same.

Can you imagine me, speaking and singing in tongues. Something I never imagined could ever happen to me. Something I doubted it's reality, God gave it to me even when I did not expect it.

Why I am saying this is that always make out a day in a week whereby the only thing you will do is to praise and worship God. Praise and worship Him wholeheartedly and you will see Him manifest wonders in your life.

Every since then, my prayer life has taken to another level, I can pray for hours non-stop. A lot of strange to powerful things has happened to me which I will explain in my next post.

In my next post, I will explain the benefits of speaking in tongues, based on my own experience.

Always be in the atmosphere of praise and worship. Praise and worship God with all your heart and anything can happen. The fastest way to bring down God's presence is through heartfelt praise and worship and when his presence comes down, things begin to happen.

Hallelujah, glory to God.
