THIRD AND LAST PROPHECY OF FATIMA
- BE AWARE.
(Sister Lucia)
"When the world asks for peace and security and repents of all the evil it has done, the sudden destruction of the new Armageddon has arrived and all will suffer."
These were the prophecies of the Virgin of Fatima when she appeared to the three children in 1917 and said that on this date 2025 would come to an end.
Lucia was only 10 years old when the apparitions took place, which began on May 13, 1917. Lucia and her two cousins ​​saw the Virgin Mary in a holm oak tree for a period of six months.
Carmelite nun Lúcia do Imaculado Coração, the last survivor of the three children who made sure they saw the Virgin Mary in the Portuguese town of Fátima, died at the age of 97 on February 14, 2005. She died in the Carmel convent in Coimbra where she has lived since 1948 .
This message was read by Pope John Paul II who decided not to reveal this secret because he thought doing so would bring panic and despair to the world.
Now another part of this message is being revealed.
NOT OUT OF PANIC BUT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY READY TO KNOW IT AND MAY BE AWARE
Lucia first delivered the message to Pope John Paul II, who after reading it, trembled a lot and decided not to make it public for fear of the reaction.
The virgin said to Lucia:
“Do not be afraid, dear. I am the Mother of Heaven, speaking to you and asking you to make this message public to the whole world. You will then meet strong resistance.
Listen and heed what I say: The sins of men need to be atoned for. With humble supplication, they must ask forgiveness for the sins they have committed and those they could have committed. You want me to give you a sign so that everyone accepts my words that I say to humanity through you. They saw the wonder of the miracle of the Sun, all believers, non-believers, farmers, citizens, scholars, journalists, seculars, priests, all saw it.
A great punishment will befall all humanity, not today, not tomorrow, but in the second half of the 21st century. I had already revealed to the children Melania and Massimino, "La Salette", and today I repeat to you why humanity has sinned and trampled on the gift that God gives. Nowhere in the world will there be order and Satan reigns in the highest degrees that determine the ground of things, because men are led by the devil, sowing hatred and revenge everywhere.
Men make deadly weapons that can destroy the world in minutes.
Half of humanity could be terribly destroyed.
There will be conflicts between religious orders.
God will allow all natural phenomena like smoke, hail, cold, water, fire, floods, earthquakes, viruses, inclement weather, terrible catastrophes and extremely cold winters like these times to wipe out the earth little by little.
There will be diseases without a cure, people will mock the saints and the church.
There will be uncontrolled killings, people will kill each other, many people will suffer.
Some natural phenomena will occur before 2025 and then continue with greater intensity and greater destruction, the climate will suddenly change to extreme weather conditions.
They will not survive, they lack charity towards their neighbor and they do not love one another as my son Jesus loved them.
Many will wish to be among the dead, because millions of people will lose their lives in a few seconds and others will suffer too much, new life forms will come and contribute to the destruction, to give them more power and consequently procreate their number, it is a race.
The punishments that await us on Earth are unimaginable, but they will surely come.
God helps the world, but whoever does not testify faithfulness to the son of God, Jesus Christ, will be destroyed, because many turn their backs on Him and He can do nothing about it.
Father Agostino, who resides in Fátima, received authorization from Pope Paul VI to visit Sister Lucia.
Father Agostino expresses that she received him very weakly, with tears in her eyes, and told him:
"Father, the Virgin Mary is very sad because nobody is interested in her 1917 prophecy, people don't want to know about this prophecy.
So while the good ones must tread a narrow path; the wicked are treading a broad path that leads them straight to destruction and believe, Father, that the chastisement will come very soon since 2020 and it will come with firm power.
Many souls may be lost and many nations and states will disappear from Earth; the world may be lost forever.
The time has come for everyone to pass on the Virgin Mary's message to their family, their friends and to the whole world.
We are near the last minute, the last day, and disaster is coming.
(ATTENTION) WHAT ARE YOU WAITING for?
There is talk of peace and security everywhere, but the punishment will come without anything to stop it.
A WILD WAR WILL BRING NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION.
This war can destroy everything, anything, it will be a disaster.
The darkness will then fall on us for 72 hours (3 days) and the third party who will survive these 72 hours of darkness and official; will begin to live in a NEW ERA.
On a very cold night ten minutes before midnight (Portuguese time) a GREAT EARTHQUAKE will shake the earth for eight hours.
The good ones, those who propagate the prophecy of the Virgin of Fatima,
SHOULD NOT FEAR, but others will suffer the consequences of ignoring this warning, the earthquake will cause the destruction of a large part of the earth, some parts will separate and cause great disasters!
WHAT TO DO?...
Sister Lucia says what the Virgin said:
"Don't leave your house and don't let strangers in, there will be new and unknown people who will look pretty talkative and say to join them, their new race and lifestyle, we don't accept it!"
These new "people" will benefit from the disaster that will happen in the world (earth)...
Sister Lucia continues with what was revealed to her:
So that you can prepare yourselves and stay alive, as my children who are also taking this warning seriously, I will give the following signs:
It's going to be a very cold night. It will be during a strong wind...
There will be anguish and soon the earthquake will begin that will make the earth shake strongly...
Close the doors and windows at home and don't talk to those who are not inside the house...
Don't look outside, don't be curious, for this will be the wrath of the Lord...
Light blessed candles, for three days no other light can shine...
The movement will be so violent that it will move the earth 23⁰ degrees and then return to its normal position...
Then there will be total darkness that will cover the whole Earth. All evil spirits will be dissolved and released doing great harm to souls who did not want to hear this message and those who do not want to repent...
Everything will be dark and a great mystical cross will appear in Heaven to remind us of the price that the son of God, Jesus Christ, paid for our redemption.
Sister Lucia continues to refer to what the Virgin entrusted to her:
We pray as follows:
O God, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and take to Heaven all souls, especially those most in need of your mercy."
Those who believe in the message that God sends and bring the message to others should fear nothing on the Great Day of the Lord...
Those who remain silent now will be responsible for this great number of souls lost to ignorance...
When the earth no longer shakes, those who still do not believe in our Lord will die horribly...
The wind will bring gas, viruses and water everywhere...
Then the sun will rise again...
Many can live after these disasters...
once they have started they cannot look outside the house for any reason because God does not want any of his children to see when he punishes these sinners how they suffer and he does not want them to see the pain he will cause these wicked people. ..
We need to understand that God allows all this to pass and we need to understand that God will punish all those who did not listen to what this text says, that's why so much panic was caused, because God will unleash his uncontrollable wrath and find all those who offended and destroyed the world...
Remember that the word of God is not a threat, but good news.
Perhaps God allows it to be so, because He wants to save everyone for Him.
If you read it, say something.
They say that every beat of our heart is God saying he loves us.
Have you ever stopped to think how many times he told you this today?
If you love God leave an amen and share in seven groups on Facebook. If you're ashamed of God, watch...
Remember, God said:
If you deny me among men, I will deny you before the Father.
Amen 🙏❤️✝️

A miraculous event occurred in Ikere Ekiti, Ekiti State, when a pastor healed a mad man who had been roaming the streets of the Ikere-Ekiti and Ado Ekiti environments of Ekiti state for over twenty years.

The mad man, known as Femi, was lying beside the road when Pastor Ayo Akinniyi, a son of a former lawmaker, Sunday Akinniyi (Gbosa), saw him and felt led by God to pray for him.

Pastor Ayo Akinniyi, who is the founder of Christ Anointing Ministry in Ota, Ogun state, was on his way to a prayer mountain when he encountered Femi.

He stopped his motorcycle and approached the mad man with compassion and faith. He laid his hands on him and prayed fervently for his deliverance from the spirit of madness READ MORE DETAILS HERE

No matter the evidence you provide to them, like graduating in 1970 from a school that started in 1974, or the fact that the registrar denounced Tinubus certificate, or....

They don't care.

They are now in full support of forgery and criminality and might even push for laws to make forgery in Nigeria legal.

Never knew a time would come when I'd see people so openly defend a clear forgery. Even other societies might disagree along political lines, but when obvious malfeasance is detected, like stealing on camera for instance, all sides come out to condemn it at once, but not Nigeria of today.

In Nigeria of today, you denounce forgery and you are termed a wailer.

This is the Nigeria some are building for their children, the next generation.

In future Nigeria, hard work will count for very little. Why should your son or daughter study and study, when their mates can just print out "third-party" certificates and leapfrog them.

They will say "daddy/mommy" is a fool for asking me to study, when I can just forge everything.

Sad time for Nigeria, and yes, I am wailing, but as always, I pray to God to wipe away the tears of Nigerians that have and are fighting and fighting to see a better country in their lifetime and for their children and the next gen.

God sees our hearts, even though the evil voices may ring louder in public, but I know God will shield and protect us from harm, economic burdens and lead us to a great future in Jesus name, amen.

Do not despair, those of you that want a land of justice.

In the Quran, there are many stories about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ (called ‘Isa in Arabic). The Quran recalls his miraculous birth, his teachings, the miracles he performed by God’s permission, and his life as a respected prophet of God. The Quran also repeatedly reminds that Jesus was a human prophet sent by God, not part of God Himself.

Below are some direct quotations from the Quran regarding his life and teachings of Jesus (pbuh).

“And indeed, We gave Musa (Moses) the Book and followed him up with a succession of Messengers. And We gave ‘Isa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), clear signs and supported him with Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel) ]. Is it that whenever there came to you a Messenger with what you yourselves desired not, you grew arrogant? Some, you disbelieved and some, you killed.” [Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:87]

“Say (O Muslims), “We believe in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma’il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya’qub (Jacob), and to Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya’qub (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Musa (Moses) and ‘Isa (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam).”” [Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:136]

“Those Messengers! We preferred some to others; to some of them Allah spoke (directly); others He raised to degrees (of honour); and to ‘Isa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), We gave clear proofs and evidences, and supported him with Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel)]. If Allah had willed, succeeding generations would not have fought against each other, after clear Verses of Allah had come to them, but they differed – some of them believed and others disbelieved. If Allah had willed, they would not have fought against one another, but Allah does what He likes.” [Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:253]

“(Remember) when the angels said: “O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings of a Word [“Be!” – and he was! i.e. ‘Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)] from Him, his name will be the Messiah ‘Isa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allah.”” [Surah ‘Ali `Imran, 3:45]

“And He (Allah) will teach him [‘Isa (Jesus)] the Book and Al-Hikmah (i.e. the Sunnah, the faultless speech of the Prophets, wisdom, etc.), (and) the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel). And will make him [‘Isa (Jesus)] a Messenger to the Children of Israel (saying): “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah’s Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allah’s Leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe.” [Surah ‘Ali `Imran, 3:48-49]

“Then when ‘Isa (Jesus) came to know of their disbelief, he said: “Who will be my helpers in Allah’s Cause?” Al-Hawariun (the disciples) said: “We are the helpers of Allah; we believe in Allah, and bear witness that we are Muslims (i.e. we submit to Allah).” Our Lord! We believe in what You have sent down, and we follow the Messenger [‘Isa (Jesus)]; so write us down among those who bear witness (to the truth i.e. La ilaha ill-Allah – none has the right to be worshipped but Allah). And they (disbelievers) plotted [to kill ‘Isa (Jesus) ], and Allah planned too. And Allah is the Best of the planners. And (remember) when Allah said: “O ‘Isa (Jesus)! I will take you and raise you to Myself and clear you [of the forged statement that ‘Isa (Jesus) is Allah’s son] of those who disbelieve, and I will make those who follow you (Monotheists, who worship none but Allah) superior to those who disbelieve [in the Oneness of Allah, or disbelieve in some of His Messengers, e.g. Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wassallam, ‘Isa (Jesus), Musa (Moses), etc., or in His Holy Books, e.g. the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), the Quran] till the Day of Resurrection. Then you will return to Me and I will judge between you in the matters in which you used to dispute.”” [Surah ‘Ali `Imran, 3:52-55]

“Verily, the likeness of ‘Isa (Jesus) before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: “Be!” – and he was.” [Surah ‘Ali `Imran, 3:59]

“Then whoever disputes with you concerning him [‘Isa (Jesus)] after (all this) knowledge that has come to you, [i.e. ‘Isa (Jesus)] being a slave of Allah, and having no share in Divinity) say: (O Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wassallam) “Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves – then we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse of Allah upon those who lie.” Verily! This is the true narrative [about the story of ‘Isa (Jesus)], and, La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the One and the Only True God, Who has neither a wife nor a son). And indeed, Allah is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.” [Surah ‘Ali `Imran, 3:61-62]

“O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Why do you dispute about Ibrahim (Abraham), while the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) were not revealed till after him? Have you then no sense?” [Surah ‘Ali `Imran, 3:65]

“Ibrahim (Abraham) was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a true Muslim Hanifa (Islamic Monotheism – to worship none but Allah Alone) and he was not of Al-Mushrikun (See Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:105)”” [Surah ‘Ali `Imran, 3:67]

“Say (O Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wassallam): “We believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us, and what was sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma’il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya’qub (Jacob) and Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya’qub (Jacob)] and what was given to Musa (Moses), ‘Isa (Jesus) and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between one another among them and to Him (Allah) we have submitted (in Islam).”” [Surah ‘Ali `Imran, 3:84]

“And because of their saying (in boast), “We killed Messiah ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allah,” – but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of ‘Isa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. for surely; they killed him not [i.e. ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) ]: But Allah raised him [‘Isa (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise. And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), but must believe in him [‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of Allah and a human being], before his [‘Isa (Jesus) or a Jew’s or a Christian’s] death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he [‘Isa (Jesus)] will be a witness against them.” [Surah An-Nisa’, 4:157-159]

“Verily, We have inspired you (O Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wassallam) as We inspired Nuh (Noah) and the Prophets after him; We (also) inspired Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma’il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya’qub (Jacob), and Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya’qub (Jacob)], ‘Isa (Jesus), Ayub (Job), Yunus (Jonah), Harun (Aaron), and Sulaiman (Solomon), and to Dawud (David) We gave the Zabur (Psalms).” [Surah An-Nisa’, 4:163]

“O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth. The Messiah ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah and His Word, (“Be!” – and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Ruh) created by Him; so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not: “Three (trinity)!” Cease! (it is) better for you. for Allah is (the only) One Ilah (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.” [Surah An-Nisa’, 4:171]

“Surely, in disbelief are they who say that Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary). Say (O Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wassallam): “Who then has the least power against Allah, if He were to destroy the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), his mother, and all those who are on the earth together?” And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills. And Allah is Able to do all things.” [Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:17]

“”And in their footsteps, We sent ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), confirming the Taurat (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave him the Injeel (Gospel), in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurat (Torah) that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for Al-Muttaqun (the pious – see Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:2).” Let the people of the Injeel (Gospel) judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed (then) such (people) are the Fasiqun (the rebellious i.e. disobedient (of a lesser degree) to Allah.” [Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:46-47]

“And if only they had acted according to the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), and what has (now) been sent down to them from their Lord (the Quran), they would surely have gotten provision from above them and from underneath their feet. There are from among them people who are on the right course (i.e. they act on the revelation and believe in Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wassallam like ‘Abdullah bin Salam), but many of them do evil deeds.” [Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:66]

“Surely, they have disbelieved who say: “Allah is the Messiah [‘Isa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary).” But the Messiah [‘Isa (Jesus)] said: “O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.” Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers. Surely, disbelievers are those who said: “Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).” But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them.” [Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:72-73]

“The Messiah [‘Isa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary), was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother [Maryam (Mary)] was a Siddiqah [i.e. she believed in the words of Allah and His Books (see Verse 66:12)]. They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while Allah does not eat). Look how We make the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to them, yet look how they are deluded away (from the truth).” [Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:75]

“Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dawud (David) and ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). That was because they disobeyed (Allah and the Messengers) and were ever transgressing beyond bounds.” [Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:78]

“(Remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection). “O ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Remember my Favour to you and to your mother when I supported you with Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel)] so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and when I taught you writing, Al-Hikmah (the power of understanding), the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel); and when you made out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by my Permission, and you breathed into it, and it became a bird by my Permission, and you healed those born blind, and the lepers by my Permission, and when you brought forth the dead by my Permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from you (when they resolved to kill you) since you came unto them with clear proofs, and the disbelievers among them said: ‘This is nothing but evident magic.’ “And when I (Allah) put in the hearts of Al-Hawarieen (the disciples) [of ‘Isa (Jesus)] to believe in Me and my Messenger, they said: “We believe. And bear witness that we are Muslims.” (Remember) when Al-Hawariun (the disciples) said: “O ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Can your Lord send down to us a table spread (with food) from heaven?” ‘Isa (Jesus) said: “Fear Allah, if you are indeed believers.”” [Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:110-112]

“‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: “O Allah, our Lord! Send us from heaven a table spread (with food) that there may be for us – for the first and the last of us – a festival and a sign from You; and provide us sustenance, for You are the Best of sustainers.”” [Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:114]

“And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): “O ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: ‘Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?’ ” He will say: “Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All- Knower of all that is hidden and unseen.” [Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:116]

“And Zakariya (Zachariya), and Yahya (John) and ‘Isa (Jesus) and Iliyas (Elias), each one of them was of the righteous.” [Surah Al-‘An`am, 6:85]

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adeboye has urged Nigerians to pray for the country.

Adeboye noted that to enjoy free freedom, individuals should keep praying for the country, stressing that colonisation does not mean freedom from poverty, terror, or sickness.

Adeboye stated this on Sunday, during the church’s monthly thanksgiving service.

In the sermon monitored by our correspondent and titled, “Free Indeed”, Adeboye said decolonisation from colonial masters did not guarantee freedom from poverty, terror, and forces of darkness.



Meet Ondo Regent Whose Father Reigned for Three Days | Punch
He urged Nigerians to join forces together for the salvation of the nation, noting that genuine freedom encompassed physical, material, and spiritual liberation.

“You cannot claim that you are free indeed if you have physical problems and you are bound by physical or spiritual darkness.. To be free indeed, you must not be in bondage physical, material and spiritual.


“You cannot say you are free if you are poor and still afraid of something. The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is seated far above municipalities and power and God has put everything under his feat.


“All these evil forces are under your feet if you are a child of God because the feet are the lowest part of the body. So, even if you are the lowest part of the body of Christ, all these evil forces are still under you. When you are in Christ, then you know the meaning of true freedom, free indeed.

“What is applicable to the individual can become applicable to a nation because a nation is made of individuals. And that is why you must join forces together as much as possible to bring salvation to our nation by bringing as many souls to Christ because whomever the Christ shall set free, shall be free indeed.

“That is why you have a responsibility to keep praying for your nation, for individuals that are yet to be safe that God will save their souls, and the more of us that are saved, the easier it will be for every one of us to say we are now free indeed.

“You can be enjoying independence from the colonial masters and still be in slavery to sickness, poverty, terror, forced of darkness but if you come to the son, he will set you free.

“I am wishing you a very good celebration but more than anything else I wish all of you who are already in Christ freedom and freedom indeed,” he said.

ABUNDANT LIFE VISION
The Faith of our Fathers: Part 3
Joshua

Good morning dear friends and I welcome you to another teaching in our series, the faith of our fathers. Today, we will discuss the faith of Joshua. Faith is an important element that is spiritually sponsored. Paul in 1 Corinthians 12:9 listed faith as one of the gifts of the Spirit. This tells us that faith is something that God can help us with if we are not fully strong in it. Joshua was not always strong in faith, he walked with God to the point in which he became a strong man of faith.
In Numbers 13, the Bible tells the story of how God instructed Moses to send out spies to explore Canaan land. Numbers 13: 1-24. Afterwards, the twelve spies returned and reported to Moses, Aaron, and the entire Israel community. At the first instance, it was only Caleb that reported that the nation of Israel could defeat the inhabitants of the land. Joshua did not say anything while Caleb spoke and while the other ten spies reported that they could not defeat the people living in Canaan.

However, by the time the topic became a big issue, Joshua arose alongside Caleb to tell the people that they could win the war. Numbers 14:6-9: Two of the men who had explored the land, Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, tore their clothing. [7]They said to all the people of Israel, “The land we traveled through and explored is a wonderful land! [8]And if the lord is pleased with us, he will bring us safely into that land and give it to us. It is a rich land flowing with milk and honey. [9]Do not rebel against the lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the lord is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!” NLT. Also, by the time Moses went to meet with the Lord, it took a message the Lord to set Joshua going. In the message, God addressed his fear, he urged him to be strong and courageous. Joshua 1:1-9: After the death of Moses the lord’s servant, the lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant. He said, [2]“Moses my servant is dead. Therefore, the time has come for you to lead these people, the Israelites, across the Jordan River into the land I am giving them. [3]I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you— [4]from the Negev wilderness in the south to the Lebanon mountains in the north, from the Euphrates River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, including all the land of the Hittites.’ [5]No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. for I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you. [6]“Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. [7]Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do. [8]Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. [9]This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. for the lord your God is with you wherever you go.” NLT.

One would say that Joshua and Moses are the same because God had to convince the two of them. However, there is a difference, the time God spoke to Moses, the nation of Israel had lost touch with God. Therefore, God introduced himself to himself the God if Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob because as at that time there was no one who had walked with him in the nation of Israel. Thus, he introduced himself as the God of his ancestors for proper understanding. By the time of Joshua, God had done many mighty things through Moses and Joshua did not need extra introduction from God. It was quite surprising that Joshua waited to start leading the nation of Israel when God was already counting on him to begin the journey.

There are two lessons from the story of Joshua, God can boost our faith no matter the level it is and he does mighty things through those who are originally weak in faith. All that is required of us is to walk with him in total obedience. The moment God spoke to Joshua, he went to work immediately and the victories he got in battle, the coming down of the walls of Jericho, and the sun standing still are results of what God can do with whoever is in obedience in God.
I pray that we will learn to obey God as turns is into mighty generals in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.

Obaseki, others eulogise Senator Alimikhena’s wife

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, on Friday, led top government functionaries and other dignitaries to the funeral mass of the wife of former Senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Francis Alimikhena, Monica, who died at the age of 69 years.

Speaking to journalists after the funeral mass, the governor described the late Mrs. Monica Emesomia Alimikhena as a very quiet, committed and prayerful woman, who was very devoted to the development of her community and the State.

Other guests at the event were the Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu; Sen. Adams Oshiomhole; former Governor of Edo State, Prof. Osariemeh Osunbor; former Deputy Governor of Edo State, Chief Mike Ogiadomhe and the Chairman of Edo State Peoples Democratic Party, Anthony Aziegbemi, among others.

Obaseki further said, “I had the privilege of interacting with her in her lifetime. She was a very lovely woman. During my campaign in 2016 and also as a Governor, I visited her house in Abuja and will not forget the good and lovely meal she used to prepare for me.

“She was very quiet, committed and a prayerful lady who always saw progress and always prayed for her husband, the State and all those who interacted with her in her lifetime. We would miss her but we thank God for her life and what she represented and pray for God to rest her soul in peace.”

The governor also added, “It’s a difficult time for our Senator Francis Alimikhena. I have been with him and knew when the challenges of her health started and we need to pray for him and pray the Lord strengthen him for he is in a difficult time especially now.”

In his sermon, the Bishop of Auchi Diocese of the Catholic Church of Nigeria, Archbishop Gabriel Dunia, urged mothers to emulate the life of late Alimikhena, who he said was fervent in prayers, guiding her family till her last days.

“Our mummy prayed for all those who came across her in life and as mother, that should be our duty. Mothers should pray for the family to enable the society to raise good leaders who will lead and govern our people, the State and nation. I encourage all of us to participate in the governance of the State and serve the people truthfully irrespective of their personal interests.

“Our mummy led her family faithfully through difficult times and life challenges and we all have many lessons to learn from her life.”

The son of the deceased, John Alimikhena, thanked the governor, his entourage and other guests for gracing the occasion and supporting the family at the time of their grief.

El Elohe Yahshrael!

Proverbs 30: 4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Whose hands have gathered up the wind?
Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his NAME, and what is the NAME of his son?
Surely you know!

2 Chronicles 7: 14 if my people, who are called by my NAME, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
16 I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my NAME may be there forever. my eyes and my heart will always be there.


1 Kings 9: 3 YHVH said to him:
“I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my NAME there forever. my eyes and my heart will always be there.

John 5: 43 I have come in my Father’s NAME, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

John 17: 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your NAME, the NAME you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that NAME you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.

More to come.

El Elohe Yahshrael! Hallelu YAH!

Oyo State House of Assembly has condoled with the leader of the House, Honourable Sanjo Adedoyin over the death of his son, Faith.

Faith Adedoyin, a final year student of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomosho, was one of three victims (now six) who lost their lives in a lone ghastly motor accident that occurred at Ojudu bridge, Ilobu in Irepodun Local government area of Osun state.

The victims, largely 500-level accounting students, were returning from an excursion to Erin-Ijesha waterfall, Osun, as part of activities marking their final year, on Wednesday evening, when their bus had an accident and went up in flames.

In a condolence message on behalf of the Assembly, the Chairman, House Committee on Information and Public Affairs, Honourable Waheed Akintayo described the death of Faith Adedoyin as painful, a rude shock and heavy to swallow .

Nairalanders, I need help Asap, before things get out of hand. Before I move further, this is not a begging post, so please nobody should derail it, please.
I am a mum, I have a son to feed, but currently, I am doing nothing and I am at the verge of going crazy because sometimes, I get this suffocating feeling when I think of where the next food is coming from and that is exactly how I feel again this night. I wanted to pray, but I just can't pray.
I have tried a lot of things and my problem stems from the fact that none is working out. There is no kind of thought that hasn't come to me. I have tried selling foodstuffs, no way, online trust issues suffocated it. I have tried YouTube and Facebook, but growing to the point where you get monitized is no joke, and needs a lot of money input which I don't have. I have requested for a way to get vuga, a well sought out movie to post on my channel to boost it, no way to get it. I have walked up to a car stand, taken pictures and posted online, nairalanders said it's too expensive. It is the price I was told, so what can I do, I was just hustling for commission. I have a friend who wants to sell his miles, and is looking for a buyer. I hoped to get a buyer and get some commission from there, no way. Now there a lot of business I can do but they require capital which I don't have. I have gotten a teaching job, but the highest pay was 20k, I refused because daycare alone for my baby plus transport will take all the money. my only hope is business but everywhere seems to be blocked, like I am caged with no hope in sight. It has gotten to a point where I can feel myself loosing it. I just need one break.
I am asking nairalanders to please patronize me. I live in Jos, I can get you Foodstuff at an affordable price or better still buy any of the other things I advertised so I can raise money for business. At this point, I am loosing it, please somebody should patronize me, please. I just need a break from all this thinking.
I have created a store on Shopify to sell foodstuffs. It took me painstaking effort to set that shop up. I had to go for market survey so many times, because prices keep changing. That shop did not see the light of day because I couldn't make one sale and when my three months grace of paying one dollar expired, that one has been closed too. I received notification for that yesterday. I don't really need advice. I just need things to start working. Just one sale will go a long way in encouraging me to push harder. my pastor owns a fish pond. I can also get you dried catfish in any quantity. Please patronize me. I am loosing it please.

MEN OF GOD IN CHAINS

EZEKIEL 3:25

[NKJV] — And you, O son of man, surely they will put ropes on you and bind you with them, so that you cannot go out among them. [Ezekiel 3:25 NKJV]

[FBV] — You will be tied up with ropes, son of man. You will be bound so that you won't be able to go out among the people. [Ezekiel 3:25 FBV]

The Spirit of God declared this to Ezekiel the prophet, as you read in the Bible verse above:

"The People will surely bind the Prophet as if they were binding or tying up a mad-man, to the degree that the prophet would not be able to go out among them."

He's not Samson that could not be bound (tied) when Samson was filled the Holy Spirit, neither was he the madman by the tombs at Gadarenes that could not be sustainably bound (tied) when possessed by the Legion of unclean spirits: He was Ezekiel the son of man that was mightily possessed by the Spirit of God, and yet people could bind or tie him up inspite of the Mighty Spirit of God on him.

The reason for that is because the ropes or bonds (chains) from the people over the man of God filled with the Holy Spirit of God were also serving the will of God for and through the man of God. Christians were taught to take authority in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to bind or chain others in prayers, especially when the others are devils or enemies to them. But have anyone taught us to also be the Christians who others may bind, tie or chain?

It was Saul (Paul) that took authority to bind, not bind demons, but took authority to bind Christians; before he was eventually arrested and converted into being Christian himself and later he too was bound (tied). As it is written,

[Acts 9:14] — "And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on Your name."

Ezekiel did not bind nor cast anyone, but he was bound (tied) even with the Holy Ghost within him. See how the Holy Ghost demonstrated to Paul that he shall be tied-up.

[Acts 21:10‭-‬13 FBV] — After we'd stayed there for several days, a prophet called Agabus arrived from Judea. Approaching us, he took Paul's belt, and bound his own hands and feet. Then he said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘This is how the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will hand him over to the foreigners.’” When we heard this, we and the believers there pleaded with Paul not to go to Jerusalem. However, Paul answered, “What are you doing, crying and breaking my heart? I'm ready not only to be bound in Jerusalem, but to die in Jerusalem for the sake of the Lord Jesus.”

Imagine a man of God on pulpit or platform throwing anointing that makes some people closeby to fall; then imagine Paul that could not wave or make hand throw, and could not even hold a microphone because he was always in bonds; for he's a man of God who's hands were always tied. Imagine him preaching, "Standfast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made you free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage;" but he himself was in bonds or chains, and does not appear to have physically shown what he's teaching here. Here are five bible references where Paul spoke of his bonds/chains:

*1* And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.
[Acts 20:22‭-‬23]

*2* for which I am an ambassador in chains. pray that I may proclaim it fearlessly, as I should. [Ephesians 6:20]

*3* As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear. [Philippians 1:13‭-‬14]

*4* "The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my chains…." [Colossians 4:18]

*5* "Remember those that are in chains, as if you are chained with them; and those who suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body." [Hebrews 13:3]

Isaac as the most loved son of Abraham was tied or bound up by his own father who loves him and yet bind him up on the altar to be offered to God. Nebuchadnezzar bind (tied) the three friends of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, and cast them into a fiery furnace. But unlike Ezekiel, over whom the Spirit of God declared that people shall surely bind him with ropes, behold Jeremiah was told to actually make his own yoke and ropes, and bind himself, for a demonstration of his message of God to the people:

[Jeremiah 27:2] — “Thus says the Lord to me: ‘Make for yourselves bonds and yokes, and put them on your neck,

Now he that betrayed gave them a sign, Saying, whomsoever I shall kiss,
that same is he: hold him fast. Matthew 26:48



A witness is someone who bears record that Jesus is the son of God for heavenly objectives to be realised, while a betrayer is also someone who bears the same record but for destructive reasons; so that the objectives of the Devil can be realised. I have a strong conviction within me that when Judas Iscariot was carrying out this destructive goal, he did not know what it would end so badly. He felt he knew Christ through and through. He was a very smart guy who believed that Jesus as usual would find a way of escape from the Roman soldiers, but unfortunately, the story did not end the way he envisaged. Are you a betrayer or a witness? There are many people that started out as witnesses but ended up as betrayers. They were portraying signs which they did not see as too bad. They thought it was not dangerous. They believed that they knew how to help themselves, till they met their fall. May this not be your portion in Jesus’ name.

The kiss of Judas was a customary form affectionate greeting among the Jews, and this was the same gesture that Judas used in identifying Jesus to the band of officers and Pharisees. The act of betrayal came from someone who was a companion of Jesus in His ministry. A betrayer could be one of your equals who is not happy with what God is doing in your life. Your betrayer may be your guide or your acquaintance, like we saw in the story of the false prophet and the younger prophet. Those who are most likely to betray you might not be far from those you take counsel from, and walk to the house of God with. This is why you must never allow anything to stand between you and God, because He is the only one who can deliver you from their wickedness and mischief. If you don’t know how to call upon God who alone can save you from the hands of betrayers, then you are in trouble.

Amidst the opposition of the unbelieving and disobedient Jews, John the Baptist decided to be a witness. John was not in the palace, his ministry was in the wilderness, yet people were going there to hear the Word of God because he was a true witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Though John was not the Elijah they wanted to see, they saw him witnessing about the person of Jesus with the zeal and the power of a prophet. As a witness he was a lone voice in the wilderness. The happenings of his day did not alter his message, and lives were being changed and transformed. He preached repentance and he alerted the minds of the people to the presence of God. Such messages are scarce on the Pulpits of 21st century Pastors and Evangelists. No wonder some are beginning to doubt what they once believed, which is eventually leading them to becoming betrayers rather than witnesses.

PRAYER
Are you a betrayer of or a witness the gospel? pray for Daddy G.O, that God should continue to strengthen him as he takes the gospel to more nations of the world


by: Pastor E.A. Adeboye

In Ezekiel 37:1-11, the Bible tells us about the valley of dry bones where God asked the Prophet, “Can these bones live?” Ezekiel said, “Only you know”. In other words, Ezekiel was saying, “my faith can’t handle that”, but the dry bones eventually lived. In Mark 9:17-27, a man brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus’ disciples. They couldn’t deliver the child and thus referred him to the Lord Jesus, who said, “O ye of little faith”. The man said, “I believe, but help thou my unbelief”. The day I heard that story, I was so glad, because that means if my faith is not enough, I can cry to Him and He will make it grow.

When I became General Overseer, we loved to cook and eat together during our convention, but we were having challenges with the finances for the feeding and the parishes were groaning under the cost. One day during the convention, out of desperation, I said, “One day will come when you will be able to come to the Convention without bringing any money at all”. When we finished that night, and I got back to my office to pray, the Lord spoke to me, “son, when do you want that to happen?” I said, “One of these days” and He responded, “Why not from now?” At that time we were about 10,000 people. How would I feed 10,000 people for one week? The Lord said, “Announce to the entire congregation that you will feed them next convention”. I said, “Daddy, I’ve never disobeyed You before, but this one? I can’t tell them”. He didn’t put any pressure on me, so the Convention ended and everybody left, but they came back the following month for the Holy Ghost Service and God repeated it. I said, “Lord, my faith can’t carry it”, and He said to me, “son, you are about to lose a miracle”. I therefore announced, “Brethren, next year, don’t bring any money for feeding, you will be fed”. That was over 20 years ago, and God has not failed once.

You may think I am a man of great faith, but the truth is that my Daddy is the One who helps my little faith, so I depend entirely on Him. He has never let me down and I know He will not let you down too.

*This Church cannot be broken because we are not a breakaway Church says Bishop David Oyedepo
*Bishop Adjeman yet to vacate facilities despite Supreme Court judgement.
*Court case lasted about 19 years.

The Supreme Court has ordered that Bishop George Adjeman who was consecrated Bishop in November 1999 by Bishop Oyedepo and later rebelled should vacate the premises of Winners Chapel used by him for the last 19 years after a long drawn court case. The judgement was given earlier in 2023 while some unscrupulous media elements tried to twist the story and turn it upside down due to the unhappiness of those who have been happy about the situation which lasted almost 2 decades and felt exposed by the judgement.

The Court also varied the decision that Bishop Adjeman render an account of his stewardship to WCI from 16/1/2004 to date and pay any monies due the Church with interest at the prevailing commercial bank interest rate by reducing the rate to be paid among other decisions.

However, it set aside an order by the Court of Appeal that restrained George Adjeman and others from using the name Winners Chapel for their breakaway group.

The Supreme Court upheld the following orders as made by the Court of Appeal;

Firstly, the Living Faith World Outreach Centre recovers possession of all that piece and parcel of land situated at Winners Chapel No.16 Otublohum Road, Industrial, Area.

Secondly, the court upheld the grant of H/No. 5, situated at Arko Adjei Street adjacent to Miklin Hotel, East Legon, Accra to the plaintiffs.

Additionally, George Adjeman and the group were restrained from disturbing the Plaintiffs’ quiet enjoyment of their properties, places, and items of worship.

Finally, the order for the Registrar General to delete the names of all the defendants as directors and/or subscribers to the Regulations of 1 and 2 Plaintiffs.

On the other hand, the appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal was granted in part.

The court set aside, the order directed at the Registrar General’s Department to remove the name Winners Chapel from the Registrar of Companies.

Secondly, the order that Winners Chapel should not be used by George Adjeman and others because it belonged exclusively to the Living Faith World Outreach Centre was set aside. This implies that even though the name Winners Chapel Ghana can operate within Ghana, it will be almost impossible to operate with exactly same name in any country outside Ghana.

Recall that at the time of the rebellion, George Adjeman broke away with 14 churches while the headquarter church had 16,000 regular worshippers. However, today, the Adjeman group has reduced to less than 1000 in the headquarters. As a matter of fact, when ChurchGist visited the dissident group at the headquarters during a Monday service (Prayer Meeting) in July 2022, Church Gist representative counted 33 in the service including the Church Gist Ghanaian and Nigerian representatives. Also, while the original Winners Chapel (International) has over 200 branches in Ghana with land procured for a university, the Adjeman groups still has less than 20 branches

Church Gist will release the comprehensive story of the rebellion in Ghana below on this same post later today.

Matthew 16:18

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Now the full story as promised....

THE REBELLION IN GHANA

Background

Bishop Adjeman a Ghanian was a protege of Oyedepo in Kaduna right from his days in Kaduna. He is a chartered accountant and was ordained as Bishop by same Oyedepo on 9th November 1999 after the dedication of Faith Tabernacle along with 6 other Bishops namely Thomas Aremu who is still with the Liberation Commission, Dayo Olutayo (who also left LFC in 2004), Bolu Martins, Mike Afolabi of blessed memory, Dickson Olorunda and Joseph Ebhohimien (Secretary at the Power House Meetings)

Bishop Adjeman had served variously in Abuja as well as Raji Oba, Lagos among other places of assignment. He held sway in those days whenever Bishop David Oyedepo was on his mission trips and was considered a faithful servant and was the only non-Nigerian consecrated Bishop in the history of the Living Faith Church.

In recognition of his faithfulness as well as a new indigenization policy of the Living Faith Church George Adjeman was transferred Ghana in 1996. He was later recalled and then sent in 2002 to head Winners Chapel Ghana which consisted of 14 churches spread across Ghana, Kingdom Heritage Model School and church house. Bishop Adjeman later re-registered the church in his own name, declared independence and the drama began..

In 2004 Bishop Adjeman staged a takeover of the Ghanaian branch of Winners Chapel after the Headquarters in Canaanland Ota, Nigeria attempted to transfer him to Ibadan when he refused to continue remitting the $60,000.00 monthly church income that was erstwhile remitted to the Nigerian headquarter. Remitting of Money from all branches of the world to Headquarter churches usually to fund various programs of the Church was practiced by Winners Chapel at the time. The Author remembers vividly during the building of Faith Tabernacle when amounts given by various branches and countries were mentioned by Bishop Oyedepo during thanksgiving. The practice has however ceased in Winners since 2012 when the Mandate or Church constitution was promulgated. Notably, the Ark building project which is ongoing as not required any branch church outside the headquarters at Canaanland to give to the project; however, the Catholic Church, Redeemed Christian Church of God and many others still practice this which is not in anyway a bad practice. After the monies have been remitted, certain percentages would be returned to the branches in some cases.

AN EXCUSE for REBELLION?

After Bishop Adjeman revealed how much was transported to Nigeria every week, all hell was let loose in Ghana as the debate became a Nigeria versus Ghana debate. Some Ghanaians felt it was wrong for a church in Ghana to remit money to a church in Nigeria; they therefore took sides with Bishop Adjeman. Others felt Adjeman was disloyal to his former boss in Nigeria and should leave the church using the right way and not taking over any of the church's properties, members or name.

The Ghanaian branch of Winners Chapel Ghana was started in 1996 and as said earlier already had 14 branches, Kingdom Heritage Model school(s) etc while Adjeman was transferred to Ghana in 2002. However Adjeman claimed that when he got back to Ghana he met the church badly run and therefore when government authorities in Ghana called for Churches to be registered as companies, Bishop Adjeman went ahead to re-register the church in his own name and excluded the names of all the Nigerian trustees without informing the Nigerian church of the new regulatory development nor asking for their assent

THE UNRIGHTEOUS MAMMON

The initial aim of Adjeman wasn't so clear at this stage. But what is sure is that Adjeman wanted at least financial independence from Nigeria at some point. The Ghanian church had kicked against the practice of money being "illegally" transferred to Nigeria. The Ghanaian church claimed that Winners Chapel isn't a limited liability and should not transfer money to Nigeria only to later receive some percentages of it.

GET DOWN TO BASORUN IBADAN!

Following Adjeman's refusal to keep remitting money to Headquarters in Nigeria he was transferred to then Ibadan Diocese with headquarters in Basorun, Oyo state.

Bishop Adjeman rejected the Ibadan transfer and notified church members that he was been transferred because of his refusal to remit money to Nigeria. Some members cheered Adjeman on and encouraged him to disregard the transfer.

BISHOP ABIOYE ORDERED TO GHANA

As Adjeman remained adamant, Bishop David Abioye, the Executive Vice President of the LFC was sent to Accra to stem the tide. Adjeman refused to see him and instead locked BishopAbioye out of the Church premises. Reports have it that some unscrupulous elements had the temerity to attempt to rough handle the senior Bishoo in hierarchy in total disregard of authority. Bishop Abioye consequently returned to Canaanland to report the situation he met.

Once Adjeman had refused to honor his transfer to Ibadan, Adjeman was then sacked by the Church Headquarters.

GHANA PENTECOSTAL FELLOWSHIP INTERVENES

Following the attempt at secession the Ghanaian Pentecostal Fellowship (GPF)ordered Adjeman to vacate the Winners Chapel premises. The argument of GPF stemmed from the fact that Winners Chapel Ghana was built with seed funding from the Nigeria and therefore it should be returned to the mother church.

WCI AND WCG

While attempts where being made to resolve the crisis of ownership, WCI quickly moved to establish another place of worship to stop the confusion. They were now referred to in Ghana as the Oyedepo original body (WCI Ghana) and the Adjeman's faction referred to as Winners Chapel Ghana (WCG or Winners’ Ghana). A long journey was about to begin that would last the next 14 years in the Ghanaian judicial system.

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE AND I WILL BUILD IT IN 3 DAYS

Once the Adjeman faction had retained the church premises in 2004 the WCI secured another space not too far away where they began worshipping as the headquarter church in Nigeria went to court in Ghana and began the tussle with the renegade WCG led by Adjeman. At this time, Dele Bamgboye (now of High Flyers) and later Abraham Ojeme (now at the Summit Church) were sent variously to Accra. At a meeting between George Adjeman and Abraham Ojeme, Ojeme asked-Can you give one scripture that justifies what you are doing? Adjeman had no response. Again, during a press interview, Adjeman pointed out that WCI had established a new and big church within only 3 months and used that to justify his actions.

As the Crisis metarmophosed the GPF equally admonished Oyedepo to settle Adjeman so he can go and start his own ministry. Oyedepo initially disagreed querying if that wouldn't be tantamount to a bribe. Oyedepo’s believes he does not own the Church and as such could not give church property out as ‘settlement’. The GPF however encouraged him to see it as a way of setting up a son.

GIVE ME $50,000, CHURCH HOUSE AND OFFICIAL CAR AND I WILL GO!

To settle the problem, Adjeman made a demand that he be paid $50,000 as severance, along with the church mission house and a car. Oyedepo vehemently opposed this but he was persuaded to see Adjeman as a son and not a rebel and that he should see the money given to Adjeman as a parting gift to a son. Bishop Oyedepo, after due consultation with his church elders, was said to have agreed to approve $100,000 but without a car or the Church Mission house. This didn’t go down well with Adjeman and he decided to help himself with the church.

I AM SORRY?

Seemingly feeling remorseful after 6 years, Adjeman visited Oyedepo in 2010 against the wishes of his lawyers. There, Oyedepo reportedly agreed to let Adjeman have all the properties but should drip the "winners chapel" tag from his church name which was the root of the contention. Adjeman agreed to drop the name and even church propertiea. But Adjeman changed his mind as he got back to Ghana.

Ghanian High Court Delivers Judgment in 2017 In Favor Of Adjeman

13 years after in 2017 the Ghanian court dismissed the lawsuit by Winners Chapel Intl(Oyedepo's faction). According to the court, winners chapel Ghana is a registered and recognized church in Ghana as it was duly registered by Adjeman and therefore won the case. However properties acquired between 1996 and 2002 must be valued and half returned in cash value to Oyedepo's faction. However judgment was not giving as regards the name of the church.

Ghanaian Appeal Court Reverses the Judgement of the High Court

In November 2020, the Appeal Court in Ghana reversed the decisions of the High Court

The summary of the judgment and the consequential reliefs granted by the Appeal Court are:

1. The judgment of the trial high court is reversed.

2. All properties acquired or funded by the Church a.k.a. Winners Chapel International (1st and 2nd Plaintiffs) are the Church’s bona fide properties.

3. The Church is entitled to recover its properties at East Legon, No. 16 Otublohum Road, Industrial Area, all places of worship and items of worship of the Church occupied by Adjeman and Winners Chapel Ghana.

4. The Registrar General is to delete the names of Adjeman and the Defendants from its records as directors and subscribers of Winners Chapel and restore the names of the Church and its directors and subscribers in their stead.

5. Adjeman is to render an account of his stewardship to the Church from 16/01/2004 to date and pay any moneys due the Church with interest at the prevailing commercial bank interest rate.

6. The Church is entitled to the exclusive use of the name “Winners’ Chapel and Adjeman and the other Defendants are injuncted in perpetuity from using the name.

The case was conducted by Thaddeus Sory and Pst Nii Amassah Kotey who unfortunately passed on to glory a few days before judgment was given. Thanks be to God for crowning their efforts with success.

The High Court had earlier given judgement in favour of the Bishop George Adjeman led group in 2017. It is expected that Bishop Adjeman would appeal the case to the Supreme Court of Ghana which is the highest judicial body in Ghana.

Winners Chapel Intl Today And Winners Chapel Ghana

The WCI started again in 2004 after the unfortunate split. It now has a network of over 250 churches in Ghana and is about getting its own university. However winners chapel Ghana led by Adjeman has plunged from 14,000 members as at the time of secession to 1,000 members and in a Monday Prayer meeting attended by Church Gist in July 2022, Church Gist counted 33 in her weekly program and this included our representative from Nigeria and our Ghanaian rep.

THE DAY OF REBELLION IN 2004

The day of secession as told by a Ghanian in church.

According to Paul Agbai

"A lot had been going on prior to the coup de tat that day, a Wednesday... In April 2004. Prior to that day, the Pastors from winners chapel Ghana had gone to Lagos for annual pastors retreat of which George Adjeman himself was supposed to go but he didn't and rather handpicked those pastors loyal to him to go. News had gone round before the arrival of the Pastors that those who went to Lagos were made to sign some undertaken against their will, but no one could ascertain this claim. I came to church that night, driving towards the church, behind one Pastor Richard Appiah, who was next to Bishop Adjeman in seniority, himself just coming from the Lagos trip and was heading to Church that night.

Just by the gate of the church, the head of Crowd Control Unit, CCU, stopped him and said "Oga" has said that all the pastors who went to Lagos should not be allowed in. This pastor Richard Appiah gave a note to the brother to go and give the Bishop that he, Richard, had come but Bishop Adjeman sent a message back that he should meet him in the house by 9pm. I was in my car, just behind Pastor Richard as all these unfolded, I was wondering and a bit confused because of all the preceding tension buildups. Well, Richard's wife got down from the car and trekked in to take her sit with the choir I was leading then. I reversed my car abit for Richard to pull back before I could enter the church in my car.

Towards the end of the service, Bishop Adjeman stood up with a script in his hand and started....."when a child in the womb delays in coming out, a surgical operation is needed, we are about doing a surgical operation." Along the lines of the script, was these statements that shocked me to my bones and marrows till date. Bishop Adjeman said that "all the pastors that went to Lagos had been held and detained against their wills and he doesn't know where they are and that the church should rise up so that we pray for their release from those holding them in Nigeria.." I stood up with others...but instead of praying..I was lost in wondering if this was a kind of home movies theatre or a church, I am in?.and congregation prayed like they were casting out demons in Africa...you know that scene....I was asking myself...is it not now that this man asked the pastors to meet him at a place for meeting at 9pm...but unsuspecting souls were led astray to make it look like its a fight between Ghana and Nigeria... 13 years down the line...no sense of remorse... Not even after he later called Bishop Oyedepo that he wanted to come to see him for restitution and he was granted audience. In that meeting captured on Video, he told Bishop Oyedepo that he was ready to let go and Bishop told him he should just drop the name that is creating confusion and go with the properties to start his own life assembly church he jettisoned. Bishop Adjeman said, he won't only drop name of winners chapel he is using but would drop all properties too..(I will soon release that Video...stay tuned)...he returned to Ghana and changed his mind.........End of my eye witness account of that night of "surgical operations" to remove winners chapel, Ghana from winners chapel international... But truth is always truth and if hidden, how can it be known...hence my putting this here!

What MOHBAD, SORRY

I chose to take my time to really understand what is happening regarding Mohbad's death and it's so painful that majority of us only listen to beats and sounds in music but never pay attention to the lyrics.

Lyrics is what makes the music not just the sound and the beat. Those are just supporting team.

However, I listen to another version of his songs this morning title "Sorry" where he narrated the stories surrounding his life, saying...

This kind life e tire me
Daddy no get salary
Ten years I no see money
Step mother no care
Landlord e dey worry
my brothers are hungry
Daddy gather money make I go poly
I go poly but I no go class daddy I am sorry

The first part of the song talked about the hardship his parents are facing, the maltreatment of his step mother, the landlord threats, his brothers staying all days without food.

Trust me, all these are more than enough for anyone to be mislead and get involved in anything just to change the cause of their lives and that was exactly what Mohbad did.

In the second verse of the Lyrics, he went on to say that...

I don dey do Yahoo
I don dey chop banku
Omo pastor ti wonu aye

He just made it clear that even though he is a Pastor's son; all that is no longer matter as he had decided to be part of anything that can bring in money and eradicate poverty out of his family.

The third version of the lyrics hit hard on his parents and their failure as parents; saying

Mummy just dey pray
Daddy just dey pray for me
Make e better for me
Me I no go school
Only thing I fit do
Music me I choose

Some parents are nothing but total disgrace to humanity. And if you are a parent and you cannot pay closer attention to your children and be sure of the kind of friends they keep and the things they do, then you are nothing but a disgrace.

Praying for your children is never enough, wisdom demands that you get fully involves in their lives and be sure of what they are doing that requires your prayers, so that you don't end up praying for them doing the wrong things.

The last part of the song talks about he giving up on life and his total confusion of what life has in stock for him, saying...

This kind life e tire me
Eshi biri biri ke bo mi o
Iwaju loloko yi wa mi'lo
eyin sa loloko yí wa mi'lo
Mi o mo

Eshi biri biri ke bo mi o
Iwaju loloko yi wa mi'lo
eyin sa loloko yí wa mi'lo
Mi o mo

A confusing state of mind is a dead zone, a place of delusional and depression. A state where all the wrong things seems right even when you are so sure that whatever is flying through your mind is never the right thing.

I'd heard both parents talking about he giving them money, they'd never talked about he telling them or discussing with them of his challenges, fears, plans and future; that speaks volumes.

I'm sorry to say this, but his lyrics on this song, speaks more of his parents failing him big time. And if you are a parent, please pay attention to your children and be their closest friend.

Not all the children that have the mental capacity to say no to what they believe is not right for them. Some of us are strong enough to walk away from anything and anyone we considered unhealthy to our wellbeing. Some don't know how to.

Either way, parents, pay attention to your children, question their source of income and find out what the plans regarding their life is. It's important.

It is well with us all.

Olojo: Hardships biting harder, Nigerians should pray for Tinubu’s government, says Ooni

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has called on Nigerians to pray for President Bola Tinubu’s government as people battle hardships in the country. The Yoruba monarch emphasised Nigeria’s need for spiritual intervention amid current hardships.

“I will pray for the unity of Africa. Things are very hard. We all know the economic challenges that people are facing. This is the time we need spiritual and divine intervention,” said the king. “my annual Olojo seclusion. This is how my ancestors have been doing it.”

Mr Ogunwusi added, ”We should pray very well because things are very hard. We all know the state of the economy. It is a sensitive thing that needs prayer, which should not go out of hand. my prayer also would be to pray for divine intervention for the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in order to turn things right because the expectation of people is so high.”

He said life was becoming unbearable for Nigerians.

“I talked to my creator and my ancestors, and they answered me speedily,” Mr Ogunwusi claimed.

Oba Ogunwusi asked Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu to move Nigeria forward.

The Ife monarch said this on Sunday in preparation for seclusion as part of the Olojo rites. He said stakeholders should not be deprived of the pan-African movement, and behaviour should be very apt.

Mr Ogunwusi called on Africans to unite, be peaceful and develop the continent.

“Pan African movement is not negotiable as this is a way out for us in Africa, for the unity of the African continent as this must be paramount to all of us. I will use the medium to pray for African Unity and movement, for the actualisation of pan-Africanism. We, therefore, as stakeholders, must play our roles to ensure that Africa as a continent speaks in unity,” he stated.

The Olojo festival is the biggest festival on the cultural calendar of Ile-Ife in Osun.

According to Yoruba belief, the Olojo festival is celebrated in remembrance of Ogun, the god of iron considered the first son of Oduduwa.

The festival takes place annually in October and involves several elaborate ritual prayers led by the Ooni.

It is marked by a carnival-like atmosphere attended by people of all ages.

Olojo has remained popular in Ile-Ife because it is the only day in the year believed to be specially blessed by Olodumare (Yoruba’s creator of the universe).

NO BE TODAY WICKEDNESS BY RECORD LABELS START

The Story of the Epic Battle Between King Sunny Ade and Chief Bolarinwa Abioro

It was in 1974 that the news broke. Chief Bolarinwa Abioro, the Balogun of Ipokia, the Chairman of African Songs Limited, had taken his star musician to court! Everyone who knew KSA knew Abioro. Everyone who knew Abioro knew Sunday Adeniyi. Sunny was the son. Abioro was the father. What could have gone wrong between father and son?

KSA was the second artiste to be signed on to the stable of African Songs Limited. Ayinde Bakare was the first. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister was the third. Like most creative people, young Sunny Ade was more concern about his passion and less concern about the business aspect of music. His passion was to play music and to excel as a musician.

It was enough that Abioro – one of the biggest men in the music industry at the time – was ready to promote him. They brought documents for Sunny and his band boys to sign. They called it a contract. It could have been called any other name for all that KSA cared. Won ni ko wa je saara, o ni ojo ti wonu ju. Se ata ni won ni ko mu wa ni, abi iyo. You are invited to a free feast, you are complaining about the short notice, are they asking you to bring salt or pepper? Sunny Ade and his boys didn’t hesitate. It is doubtful if any of them read what the contract said. The most important thing was that they were going to become recording artistes. Sunny signed. His band boys signed. Everybody was happy.

The contract was for 5 years. However before its expiration, KSA had become a household name. His album, Challenge Cup, sold in excess of 500,000 copies. It was certain that King Sunny Ade was going to dominate the music scene for a very long time to come. African Songs Ltd knew a good product when it saw one. The management of the company didn’t wait for the first contract to expire before they brought a new contract.

The new agreement was carefully worded. KSA and his band boys agreed to perform and record exclusively for ASL for a period of five years. ASL had full copyrights to all compositions and recordings of Sunny Ade. ASL was entitled to the sole right of production, reproduction, and use of King Sunny Ade’s performance throughout the world. That was not all. During the period of the agreement, KSA was prohibited from rendering any performance whatsoever to himself, any company or group of persons. The contract also stipulated that ASL had the option to renew the agreement at its expiration for a further term of two years or for any longer period. Sunny Ade had no such right.
That was not all. On the sale of every album which price was then fixed at N6.00, KSA and his boys were entitled to a princely sum of 20 kobo. Yes, you read that right. African Songs would go home with the remaining N5.80 kobo. Onigegewura’s mathematics has never been good. He is just an amateur historian. You can do the sum yourself.

Still basking in the euphoria of his growing fame, Sunny gratefully signed again. His band boys signed. 20 kobo was still something. Orogun iya re da sokoto fun o, o ni ko bale, melo ni iya to bi o da fun o? You are complaining that the trousers made for you by your step-mother was not long enough, where is the one your own mother made for you? They were expecting their 20 kobo royalty on every album. Well, when the time came for actual payment, it was then discovered that mathematically and arithmetically, it was not supposed to be 20 kobo. They had not factored the cost of publicity and promotion! And since it was the artiste that was being promoted, he must be the one to bear the cost! After the addition and subtraction, Sunny was given 15 kobo per album.

KSA was not Chike Obi, the mathematician. But he knew that 20 kobo and 15 kobo were not the same thing. Compared with his contemporaries in the music industry, KSA realized that he was holding the short end of the stick. His colleague, Baba Commander, Chief Ebenezer Obey was earning as high as 70 kobo per album. Others were earning between 35 kobo and 60 kobo.

That was when Sunny decided to ask Chief Abioro for a raise of the royalty payment. The chairman listened patiently to KSA and his colleagues. He was nodding as they canvassed one reason after another why a raise was in order. When they finished, Chief Abioro flipped open a file he had on his table. He brought out a bundle of documents. Even from where he was seated across the table, Sunny saw that it was a copy of the contract he signed. “An agreement is an agreement. It is a binding contract!” The chief informed them. “This is what you signed. This is what you are entitled to! No more, No less.” He returned the documents to the file. Case dismissed.

But Sunny was not done. “Chief, this is not about contract. You are our father. Our request is for adequate compensation! Let’s leave the contract aside.” Chief Abioro looked at the young star the way a parent looks at a child asking for another candy. “Leave the contract aside? We should leave the contract aside?” The chairman asked incredulously. “You know, it would be nice to leave the contract aside. But you know what? That would be illegal!”
Haba! Illegality ke! . It was then that someone brought up the idea of requesting some of his friends to plead their case. Sunny agreed. After all, Eni ti o mo oju Ogun, ni pa obi ni ‘re. It is the person who is conversant with Ogun, the god of iron, that is usually given the duty to administer its rites. They went to meet Prince Okunade Sijuwade who would later become the Ooni of Ife. They also met with Chief Afolabi Joseph. Even Chief Ebenezer Obey was also requested to intervene as well as Chief Nurudeen Alowonle.

The eminent persons appeared in the court of the Balogun of Ipokia as ‘amici curiae’ on behalf of the musicians. Amici curiae are lawyers invited by the judge(s) to assist in filling briefs that may be helpful to the court in deciding a case. Our eminent persons argued their case like experienced advocates. They cited relevant sections of the unwritten Yoruba constitution. They cited Yoruba proverbs. They made reference to the story of Oduduwa. The presiding chairman listened to their submissions and summarily dismissed the case. Contract is contract!

Chief did not only dismiss the request for a raise. He opened another file on his table and brought out a new set of documents. Your guess is right! A new five-year contract! By now, Sunny Ade had learnt enough law. He had become a professional mathematician. He had obtained his Master of Business Administration from practical experience. He knew the implication of putting pen to paper. He applied for an adjournment.

The King of African Beats found himself in a quandary. His new songs were ready but Chief had threatened not to release any new album until he signed the new contract. And KSA was not ready to sign any new contract until the issue of royalty was resolved.

KSA remembered his grandmother’s proverb. Ti abiku ba gbon ogbon ati ku ni igba erun, iya abiku a gbon ogbon ati sin oku e si etido. If an abiku decided to die during the dry season when he knew that the ground would be hard to dig, his parents would also decide to bury him by the riverside where the ground would not be hard to dig.

Sunny Ade decided to release his record with another company. His plan was to use the album to bargain for a better deal with African Songs. Instead of the measly 20 kobo, he was confident that the chairman would be ready to pay him at least N1.00 per copy. The album was recorded in Nigeria but taken to London for mixing. What Sunny Ade did not know was that Chief Abioro was a master at the game. Before Sunny could get a copy of his own album, Chief Abioro was already in possession of the new record.

Baba Ibeji was composing fresh materials at home when the court bailiffs arrived. They served him with an order of interim injunction!
The court order was as comprehensive as it was broad. Sunny Ade was prohibited from sale, distribution, marketing, dealing, etc. etc. of the record. He read the order again. Even without being a lawyer, he knew the implication of the document he was holding.

With palpable emotion, his mind went back to how he came to Lagos from Abeokuta with only one shilling and eighteen pence! He remembered his years with Baba Sala. He recalled how he got stranded with Baba Sala’s travelling theatre in Jebba and Kano. How he did not see his mother for two years whilst he suffered to make it as a musician. He recalled how his first album sold only 13 copies. Now when he was at the threshold of success, this court order! With grim determination, he knew he couldn’t afford to quit.

He remembered his first day at Oshodi when he missed his way trying to locate Moses Olaiya’s house and how he was directed instead to Dr. Victor Olaiya at Tinubu. He recalled how he knelt down in the dust of Oshodi to pray. Immediately he knew what he must do. Sunny went down on his knees and with an emotional voice, he prayed and prayed. It was not the Sunday Adeniyi that knelt down to pray that stood up. He had become empowered. He had become emboldened. That same evening, he established his own label.
Sunny Alade Records was born! He didn’t bother to sit down again. He remembered the threat of Chief Abioro to bring him down at all cost. He needed a lawyer who knew his law and who would be prepared to fight his cause against the Magnate. He went off in search of Gani Fawehinmi.

Gani collected the court papers and looked at the claims. He looked at his client. He looked again at the claims. Chief Abioro was not leaving anything to chance. He knew what he wanted from the court. His lawyer had read the agreement between African Songs Limited and Sunday Adeniyi.

Chief Abioro wanted only four things from the court: a declaration that the agreement between ASL and Sunday Adeniyi and his boys was still subsisting; an injunction restraining Sunny Ade from distributing or selling the record; an account of all sales of the record; and N1 million for breach of contract.
I hope you are not sneering at the N1 million as being ‘chicken change’. Remember this was in 1974. The price of a brand new Volkswagen Beetle car was about N500 at that time. N1 million in 1974 was a princely sum!

On the day of the trial, the court was filled to capacity. Gani Fawehinmi was armed with every conceivable legal authority. The law books he brought to the court were more than enough to open a library. There were books on Contract. There were books on Human Rights. There were volumes on Intellectual Property. Gani even brought some books on Slave Trade.

The first application Gani brought before the court was for an order to compel African Songs to produce its statement of account over the preceding three years. The court granted the order. It was discovered that the company was making almost N900,000 every year from the sale of Sunny Ade Records. It was also discovered that the total sum that KSA received was N62,000 in the almost ten years he was with the company. How can you be asking me what is 900,000 divided by 62,000? I have told you that I’m not a mathematician. Please don’t ask me about percentages or fractions.

Gani did not forget to raise the issue of how 20kobo became 15 kobo. He also cross examined Chief Abioro at length on the onerous terms contained in the contract. Gani put it to the chief that the contract was in restraint of trade and that it was therefore null and void as it amounted to colonization of King Sunny Ade, a free citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and a citizen of the Commonwealth!

my Lord Justice L. J. Dosunmu listened patiently to the parties. His Lordship also asked the witnesses some probing cases. The court thereafter adjourned the matter to February 14, 1975 for judgment. It did not even occur to the King of African Beats that the day was St. Valentine’s Day. His only preoccupation was to find out the direction in which the pendulum of justice was going to swing.

On February 14, people started arriving at the court as early as 7am. The court officials had hectic time controlling the mammoth crowd that had come to court to witness the historic decision. In His Lordship’s judgment, Justice Dosunmu held that although some of the terms of the contract were stringent, that was not a ground for holding the contract invalid. In effect, the contract between ASL and KSA was therefore valid. As the court pronounced on the validity of the contract, Sunny looked at his lawyer. Gani signaled to him to be calm, the court had only resolved one issue out of four.

With regard to the second claim, the court held that since the records in question had been distributed all over Nigeria, there was no way the court could order them to be recalled. The court therefore refused to restrain Sunny Ade and his marketer, M. Ola Kazim from distributing the album. A tiny smile crossed Sunny’s face.

You recall that Chief Abioro was asking for N1,000,000 as damages for breach of contract. The court ruled that for recording with another company during the subsistence of the contract, Sunny Ade was liable. He was asked to pay N300! Yes, Three Hundred Naira! From N1,000,000 to N300! Sunny smiled for the first time.

The court having found that the contract was still subsisting, KSA was ordered not to release another album pending the expiration of the contract with Chief Abioro’s company, which was due in six months. Six months! What am I going to be eating? Sunny thought. Apparently, this was the only part of the judgment that Anti Wura, Buroda Alani’s third wife must have heard, and heard wrongly too! As if reading Sunny Ade’s mind, Justice Dosunmu said he realized that Sunny Ade would need to eat and feed his family in the six months that the contract had to run. His Lordship therefore held that the injunction was limited to only recording of albums and that Sunny Ade was free to do live performances for fees. His Lordship said that this was in order to avoid a situation where the King of Music would starve or be compelled to go back to Chief Abioro.

The Judge had hardly risen before King Sunny Ade jumped up to hug his counsel. He was free! He gave Gani a bear hug. He had learnt his lesson. Creativity and Business must go hand in hand. Years later, the King of Music recalled: “The lesson I learnt from the episode is that if an artiste is churning out hit records, he needs to keep an eye on the business side of things. If not, he would be in a mess.

The Death And Resurrection of Mohbad


By Busy Brain


He fought but lost the battle along the line. He voiced out but his voice could not be heard by colleagues. We all gathered to post Rest in Peace. We all could have done better to raise our voices against tormentors. He is dead but the light is on. No excuse, we are all hypocrites.

The above paragraph was my first reaction to Mohbad's death pointing accusing fingers at all of us, sudden mourners who could have ordinarily prevented many brutal attacks and threats against his personality while he was alive. The massive video footage that flooded the media after his death described the debilitating and attenuating status of his existence. He lived in fear and always seemed to be dread of his former record label.

The death of Mohad has further exposed the hypocritical level of human nature. The death in most instances faces rejection and most times gets exposed to mockery and reproach from friends, families, and colleagues, and witnesses unprecedented celebration after demise; this is the exact scenario of Mohbad's public sympathy and echoes of Justice all over the world.

The major background of Mohbad's problem is the family. His first agent of socialization was wobbled and disjointed and affected his subsequent decision to secure a better life for himself, and probably, his family.

Mohbad's family issue is obvious in one of his lyrics, titled 'Sorry' where he referenced the situation of his broken home and poor parental upbringing,

From his lines and lyrics, he said:
"This kind life e tire me
Daddy no get salary
Ten years I no see Mummy
Stepmother no care
Landlord e dey worry
my brothers are hungry
Daddy gather money make I go poly
I go poly but I no go class
Daddy, I am sorry"

The above lines are a metaphorical picture of his family's predicament which is liable to push him to take a step further. A step further from this confine led him to the Marlian music.

Going further with his lyrics, the subsequent lines depict the steps he took further to join the bandwagon of Yahoo, drug lords, and cult cliques. He depicts this by saying

" I don dey do Yahoo
I don dey chop banku
Omo pastor ti wonu aye"

Mohbad said at the end of the lyrics that,
"Mummy just dey pray
Daddy just dey pray for me
Make e better for me
Me I no go school
The thing I fit do
Music me I choose"

While the end of his verse explains the prayers being said by his parents, it equally shows the parents were praying after he had already joined the wrong caucus.

Obviously, the parental failure contributed to his ordeal and that's exactly what is affecting many who are victims of hard drug cliques, robbery gangs, cult groups, and other social vices.

Broken homes always tell on the children in negative. Family is the first agent of socialization, if a family fails, it endangers the lives of the children and that's why the children matter in all decisions to go on separate ways with a spouse.

Going back and forth, Mohbad' is gone and still alive. This reminds me of the Indian thriller movie, Bahuballi who died as a result of conspiracy from his family and resurrected through his son who revenged the injustice meted to his parents.

Like Bahuballi, Mohbad is survived by a son, Liam Imole. Mohbad's light is on and the light should be guided. The Justice for Mohbad movement should be more focused on his son. That's where his parent's happiness lies and that's the most important thing.

Let Mohbad's spirit continue to rest in the Lord. He has resurrected by giving the world the lights, Liam Imole.

Rest on Legend...the whole world pays tribute.

Following the discussion we began yesterday, it is not only witches, wizards and witch doctors who can try to hinder a person’s destiny; sicknesses can also.

Many people remain sick because they are tolerating sickness. You must rebuke sickness in your body. Hosea 4:6 says, “my people perish for lack of knowledge”. Now that you know the truth, you can tell sickness, “How dare you attack me, a child of the Original Physician? my Daddy says in Exodus 15:26 that He is the Lord that healeth me, so I am healed in Jesus’ name”.

When you know who you are in Christ, it affects how you behave. If you are the son of a messenger, you would talk differently from the child of the President. Your Father is not just the President – He is the President of all the presidents in the whole world (Psalm 24:7-10). He is the One about whom Philippians 2:9-11 says that, at His name, every knee bows. It is unfortunate that many Christians have the name but don’t use it. You must rebuke demons. Tell them, “How dare you fool around with me. I am the child of the Lord of hosts”. If you do that, you will get every demon out of your household today. The Bible made it clear that if you are truly a child of the living God, you shouldn’t even fail. Philippians 4:13 says you can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you.

You can rebuke the devil Himself. James 4:7 says if you submit yourself to God, you will resist the devil, and he will flee from you. When you know who you really are in Christ, your confidence shows in how you pray. for example, if someone is in the bathroom and you knock at the door, the way the fellow inside answers would tell you whether it is the messenger in the house or the landlord that is in there. While they could both say the same thing, the confidence level in their respective voices would differ.

You must speak to the devil as someone who knows that you have the greater One inside of you (1 John 4:4) and he will flee from you.

MOHBAD STARTED REIGNING AFTER HIS DEATH, SORRY
I saw this post and I thought of sharing it with you guys 👇👇
I chose to take my time to really understand what is happening regarding Mohbad's death and it's so painful that the majority of us only listen to beats and sounds in music but never pay attention to the lyrics.
Lyrics are what makes the music not just the sound and the beat. Those are just supporting the team.
However, I listened to another version of his song this morning titled "Sorry" where he narrated the stories surrounding his life, saying...
This kind of life e tires me
Daddy does not get a salary
for ten years I have not seen money
Stepmother no care
Landlord e dey worry
my brothers are hungry
Daddy gather money make I go poly
I go poly but I do go class Daddy I am sorry
The first part of the song talks about the hardship his parents are facing, the maltreatment of his stepmother, the landlord's threats, and his brothers staying all day without food.
Trust me, all these are more than enough for anyone to be misled and get involved in anything just to change the cause of their lives and that was exactly what Mohbad did.
In the second verse of the Lyrics, he went on to say that...
I don't do Yahoo
I don dey chop bank
Omo pastor ti wonu aye
He just made it clear that even though he is a Pastor's son; all that no longer matters as he had decided to be part of anything that can bring in money and eradicate poverty out of his family.
The third version of the lyrics hit hard on his parents and their failure as parents; saying
Mummy just dey pray
Daddy just dey pray for me
Make e better for me
I do go to school
The only thing I fit do
Music me I choose
Some parents are nothing but a total disgrace to humanity. And if you are a parent and you cannot pay closer attention to your children and be sure of the kind of friends they keep and the things they do, then you are nothing but a disgrace.
Praying for your children is never enough, wisdom demands that you get fully involved in their lives and be sure of what they are doing that requires your prayers so that you don't end up praying for them doing the wrong things.
The last part of the song talks about him giving up on life and his total confusion about what life has in stock for him, saying...
This kind life e tire me
Eshi biri biri ke bo mi o
Iwaju loloko yi wa mi'lo
eyin sa loloko yí wa mi'lo
Mi o mo
Eshi biri biri ke bo mi o
Iwaju loloko yi wa mi'lo
eyin sa loloko yí wa mi'lo
Mi o mo
A confusing state of mind is a dead zone, a place of delusional and depression. A state where all the wrong things seem right even when you are so sure that whatever is flying through your mind is never the right thing.
I'd heard both parents talking about him giving them money, they'd never talked about him telling them or discussing with them of his challenges, fears, plans, and future; that speaks volumes.
I'm sorry to say this, but his lyrics on this song, speak more of his parents failing him big time. And if you are a parent, please pay attention to your children and be their closest friend.
Not all the children that have the mental capacity to say no to what they believe is not right for them. Some of us are strong enough to walk away from anything and anyone we consider unhealthy to our well-being. Some don't know how to.
Either way, parents, pay attention to your children, question their source of income, and find out what their plans regarding their life are. It's important.
It is well with us all.

Sun re oooooo, Mohbad

EZEKIEL 3:24

[NKJV] — Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and spoke with me and said to me: “Go, shut yourself inside your house. [Ezekiel 3:24]

[FBV] — Then the Spirit came into me and made me stand upright. He told me, “Go into your house and shut the door. [Ezekiel 3:24]

HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND LEARN TO SHUT YOUR DOOR for YOU AND HIM ONLY


That falling down of the man of God before the Manifest Presence of God in Glory also meant that the Spirit of God temporarily left him before he fell, but here the Spirit of God repossessed him again and made him stood up before God. Recall he had experienced the same glory of God by the River Chebar, and he also fell and the Spirit of God entered into him and stood him up according to "Ezekiel 2:2." So there was also a repetition of the Spirit of God entering Ezekiel again or more than once, and each time after he fell before the Manifest Presence and Glory of God.

So what happened, as in, did the Spirit of God left him after the first time and then return to enter and possess him the second time?

To explain this, there are measures to how much the Spirit of God dwells and possesses the people of God. And somehow it is related to the task or challenges that man has to bear or perform. If you ask some Christians what the hardest task that requires the greatest infilling of the Holy Spirit and Power? Some may tell you it is Preaching the gospel in the midst of Satan's or enemies greatest strongholds; that's the task that requires the greater measures of the Spirit of God. Some may say it is facing Satan, Antichrist or Death, and still Witnessing as it happened to Stephen the martyred. Some will even say is the resurrection from the dead as the Power of the Lord's Resurrection. Etc.

Behold I tell you when the Spirit of God is required in greater measures in and on a man or woman: It is when standing or dwelling in the manifest Presence and Glory of God. It requires more Holy Spirit and Power to abide the Manifest Presence of God and behold Him, than is required to face Satan or Death. Remember, not even all the Angels in heaven abide or see the Face of God all the time because some of them cannot bear it. But who is Satan to them that they cannot withstand him. So angels who always abide and behold the Face of God are higher, holier and more powerful than others who just assemble to God and then return to their places.

for we human beings, it's the same. Do not think that this level of Holy Spirit possessing me or you right now is enough for me/you to stand and face God when He manifest. There shall be a tremendous increase of the Spirit of God in us to enable us stand face to face with the most indescribable and most fearful Being.

Jesus Christ had all the Holy Spirit without measure while He walked as the son of God born of the Holy Spirit. But after His resurrection from the Dead, whatever amount of the Holy Spirit the Lord Jesus Christ had was multiplied by Seven to enable Him sit at the Right Hand of God in the same Throne and as God's High Priest. This means, the Lord Jesus has "Seven Spirits of God" on Him, far greater than the amount of the Spirit of God He had when God anointed Him with Holy Spirit and Power and He went about doing good and healing all that were possessed of the devil.

Why Ezekiel had repossession of the Spirit of God again here is because when the manifest Presence of God left him the first time, the extra measure of the Spirit of God also left because he would not be needing that. It's only necessary when a mortal is facing the Consuming Fire and the Almighty God. Even so, there are certain Grace, Power, Extra Measures of the Spirit of God, and Glory, that is only available at the Presence of God; you cannot take them with you when leaving God's Manifest Presence, but as long as you are there in the Manifest Presence of God, you will enjoy those Grace, Power, Extra Measures of the Spirit of God, and Glory, because they never leave the Presence of God. I hope you understand my points.


There was a time I had to proof to some Jehovah's witness evangelists that the Holy Spirit was not just an "Active Force" of God as they proclaimed, but that the Spirit of God was truly a "Person" having His Own Mind and He actually talks or speaks. I cited some bible references where the Spirit of God spoke. He who has ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches: today if you hear the Holy Spirit, do not harden your heart. etc

In the top Bible verse above, the Spirit of God that entered into the man of God, Ezekiel, spoke and instructed him to go into his house and lock his door, shutting everyone else outside. There are people who naturally are introverts, and they lead isolated life, shutting their doors, and cutting off from socialism, so that only them and the Spirit of God would be inside their House-Arrest or Self made prison. There were times I also consider myself as a Prisoner of the Lord as Paul, because I would shut my Gate and my Door, and neighbors outside will not see me for weeks.

People say miracles are on the streets or outside not inside one's closed doors, but I tell you, there are miracles that do take place within "Shut your Door." Elisha said to the late prophet's widow, go get vessels from neighbors but shut your door against those neighbors you collected vessels from; it was within "Shut your Door" that the Anointing was multiplied to fill all the empty vessels within the shut your door. Did I say Anointing was multiplied? Ok use the Oil was multiplied instead.

The first deliverance those angels gave to Lot that last night of Sodom and Gomorrah, was that the Angels pulled Lot into his own house and the Angels themselves shut the door of Lot's house before striking the men outside with blindness that could not find the shutting of door. Is it the Ark of Noah, which God Himself shut the door to keep Noah and his company inside? But sometimes it is not God or Angel that will do the "Shut your Door for you?" And the Spirit of God may instruct you as Ezekiel to go and shut your door, and remain within the shut door. As it is written,

[Isaiah 26:20 TLV] — Go, my people, enter your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide for a little while, until the wrath is past.

[Matthew 6:6 TLV] — But you, when you pray, go into your inner room; and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward you.

If Biden can’t protect his own son and Trump can’t protect himself from prosecution, what make you Nigerians think Tinubu will be protected by US.

US is not Nigeria! Here in US every citizen pray not to be entangled with the law, that includes Presidents.

Now, Tinubu lawyers have bought him time for him Tinubu to escape US without incident, so they have achieved their goal.

If Tinubu results and transcript are released today, and things fishy were found, Tinubu as the president of Nigeria will be evacuated shamelessly and escorted by the law enforcement officers out of US, which will alert US and international media.

All media will carry the incident. He will not be arrested but evacuated which will be an international embarrassment to Nigeria and even US, since it happened in US soil.

So, I indulge everyone to stop casting stones. Justice will be served.

Already the fake Tinubu has already implicated himself by saying that severe irreparable damage will be done to his life if the transcript was to be released today.

By that statement alone, he has admitted in court that he committed an offense, forgery and possibly an identity fraud.

Tell me, what can possibly cause severe irreparable damage to a man’s life by releasing an ordinary transcript?
Transcript others freely make available to the public or employers.

In the other hand, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar won today, freedom and democracy won today

As today will be remembered as the day a sitting president told the world that his releasing his transcripts will cause a severe irreparable damage to his life. Imagine that!

Many years to come, he Atiku Abubakar will be remembered as one man that stood against tyranny to stop third term of a sitting president in Nigeria.

One man who lost everything to fighting to protect democracy, against all odds he stood alone fighting injustice.

Love him or hate him, he is a true democrat and defender of democracy.

Today, he fights for all while others watched

He has withstood every battle thrown to him, still smiling.

Generations to come, his name will be remembered no matter how adversaries will try to erase his accomplishments!

They will make songs with his name, children will dance to songs.

Three thousand years from today the name Atiku Abubakar will continue to echo in the chambers of Democratic halls in Nigeria and the world.

I am proud to associate my name with his.

He is the true Lion of Jada, Nigerians will never forget.

He is a true champion of democracy!

Until this case is over, history will continue to be made!

What a beautiful time to be alive!

I am High Chief Franklin Ekechukwu

In Mark 4:35-41, Jesus was in the boat, yet there was a storm. This implies that Jesus can be in a person’s life, and a storm will still rage. Many think that once they are born again, they become a no-go-area for storms. That is not true; if anything, the devil will try harder to test your strength in Christ. Jesus Christ said it clearly in John 15:19, “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you’.

The mere fact that you are a child of God is enough to attract storms, but don’t worry; as long as Jesus is in your life, all you have to do is stir up His gift in you, and the storm will cease. If you are a child of God, Jesus is already in you, and the Bible says in 1 John 4:4 that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. There can be a giant in you, but the giant can be sleeping until you wake Him up. 2 Timothy 1:6 says that there is a gift of God in you, and you have to stir it up. Psalm 50:14-15 says that if you come into the presence of God with thanksgiving, you can then call upon Him in the day of trouble and He will deliver you. Call on Him until He arises for you, because it is written in Psalm 68:1 that when God arises, His enemies scatter.

You can get the Almighty God to arise for you by prayer. In Acts 12:1-10, when Herod took James, the Church did not pray, and so James was killed. By the time Peter was arrested, the Church had learnt their lesson and thus prayed, getting the Lord to arise for them to still that storm. If you refuse to pray, the storm can overwhelm you, but if you pray, then you will win against the storm no matter how much it rages.

You can also cause Him to arise for you through praise. In Mark 10:46-52, when Bartimaeus was calling on Jesus, the Lord kept hearing, “Jesus, thou son of David…” So He stopped to attend to him. When you praise Him, He will arise for you. If you know how to call God His names in line with who He really is, He will pay attention to your situation and still any storm that rises against you.
