Adelani, Omo Adekanmbi, sorry o, how are you? I dont know why you are still wasting your time on things that has no Godly value.
For your information, Adelani Omo Adekannbi, we made the movie 32 years ago, how old were you then?
WE ARE CHILDREN OF THUNDER?
WE CAN NEVER BE SACRIFICED TO THE gods THAT HAVE EYES AND CAN NOT SEE, That have ears that can not hear.
THISE WHO SERVE THEM ARE LIKE THEM.
A-de-la-ni oooooo!
Omo Ade-kan-n-bi ooooo!
You are just wasting your precious time follow after SHADOWS!
YOU SHALL BE CONVERTED TO JESUS CHRIST AND PREACH THE GOSPEL I HAVE BEEN PREACHING FOR THE PAST 50 years. I was saved by Jesus Christ in 1975 when I was 15years old in Form 3 in secondary school.
Adelani, Good Morning. Hope you slept well. Greetings to your wife and family.

Mareh: Seeing Visions of God Part 1
Every believer can see spiritually
The Spiritual eyes and ears of every believer are open
The Spirit of God in us does not sleep
When you hear the expression "God opened my eyes"
in scripture, it means "God took my attention to a
particular or specific issue he wanted me to focus on at
the time and not that i was blind before and at that
the moment God opened my eyes so that i could see"
It is like calling the attention of your child to something
on TV or in the Kitchen
The moment you call the attention of the child or
staff or friend to that thing, you are opening the
person's eyes or enlightening the person about that
particular thing
You are not making them see because they are blind
you were bringing a particular issue or event into focus for them
The issue here is How have you connected to your inner man
so that you can see what he sees and know what he knows
The expression let him that has an ear hear what the Spirit is saying is found in the Book of Revelations
This does not mean some people do not have ears, it means
many with ears are not attuned to the expressions of the Spirit
Those who have the capacity to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying must then hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the church
Having clarity in the place of vision is heavily dependent on the believer being able to discern what is what that he or she is seeing or hearing and making the right decisions off that information
You need to know the word of God and How God speaks
God speaks in a certain manner
He does not speak evil, neither does his word cause you to
become fearful, panicky, anxious, or sweaty
His words do not make you uncomfortable or give you a headache
How you feel in your body after hearing from God is not how you feel after hearing from any man or woman or even yourself
Some will see something and they will become scared
God didn't speak to them
The Holy Spirit creates an atmosphere of love and confidence
in those who hear from God
No matter what they hear or how dire may seem
God speaks as one who knows the end from the beginning
Not as one who is anxious about the end of a matter
This confidence is evident in everyone who is of God and who hears from God
Many believers ask why they cannot see clearly
Many of us listen to hours of tapes from many men of God but do not even attempt to listen to God or hear God speak for ourselves
Yet the scriptures were very clear, Let God be true and every man a liar!
You can hear God through men but the one thing that will be
unshakable and undistorted is for you to hear God for yourself
If what you are hearing is not founded in the word of God, it is not of God
Jesus is God - If you dont see this or believe this you will never have a clear vision of reality
Yet, Jesus never said in the scriptures that "I am God!"
There are verses in the scriptures where he alluded to being God or the son of God but He never said word for word that He is God
If you don't see him as God then you will never be able to appropriate to Him or ascribe to him the glory due to His name or see Him truly as he is and therefore whatever you see will not
be clear
I give you an example
I had a friend called Rotimi while I was living in Ibadan
We played football together for many years
He attended Bashorun High School or St. Patrick while I
attended Loyola College Ibadan
We were friends, football buddies and we spoke once or twice
We know each other by sight but we were not the kind of friends
that hung out together
Then we parted ways as we grew older
i went to the University of Ibadan, he went to LAUTECH
I went to LAUTECH to visit a friend and somehow i saw this
the guy sitting opposite me in a restaurant at their student
Union area
I recognized him from afar, took a sheet of paper, rolled it into a ball, and threw it at him mildly just to get his attention
As soon as i did this, i was mobbed by about 10-15 guys
They came from all over
WOW!
i Didn't know he had been elected as the Student Union President of His school
He had his entourage and security personnel all about
I just saw him as an old football buddy
He was no longer that person
Thank God he recognized me and told them to leave me be
I would have been beaten to a pulp that day
Simply because my vision of him was distorted
If you dont see someone in the right light, you cannot benefit from them the right way
I know the challenge familiarity causes in some families
A man becomes a prophet of God and outsiders were
benefitting from his grace but members of his household
couldn't see him in the right light or benefit from him in the right
way
This also happened to Jesus when he visited Nazareth
The Bible said he couldn't do much for them because they
didnt believe in him
They didn't believe in him because they didn't see him as they ought to
For you to see right, you must have a clear understanding of what the truth is and what it is not
Many will see a vision and they will be confused as to who
spoke to them
They will say the scriptures said angels of darkness can appear
as angels of light but they will ignore the fact that seeing angels
gives you a certain confidence, witness, and reassurance in your spirit that seeing any other entity does not give you
1 Samuel 16: 5 Samuel replied, “Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.”
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “The Lord has not chosen this one either.” 9 Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, “Nor has the Lord chosen this one.” 10 Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The Lord has not chosen these.” 11 So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?”
“There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.”
Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”
12 So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features.
Then the Lord said, “Rise and anoint him; this is the one.”
13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah.
Samuel is not just a Prophet (Hozeh), he was a Roeh, A seer!
He saw ELIAB and called him the anointed of the Lord, he had assumed the person he was seeing was the one God sent him to anoint based on his previous conversation with God about the kingship situation in Israel.
We all fall for this and thus misinterpret or misread God's instructions to us
This then distorts our vision
God had told Samuel that he repented that he made Saul king, Samuel was mourning, but God told him to stop mourning and go to the House of Jesse with anointing oil to choose a new King
Samuel obeyed
Then Samuel saw Eliab and the other sons of Jesse and he convinced himself out of eagerness and assumption that the ones he saw were the King God had chosen
Meanwhile, the chosen of the Lord was not even at home at that time
If God did not intervene on time, Samuel would have anointed the wrong person and he would be claiming he did it by the instruction of God
Assumption is a distorter of clear vision in the life of a believer
A brother told the Lord in the place of prayer that the lady who bought him a Bible surely would be his wife
On his birthday, a lady gave him a Bible and he immediately assumed God had brought him a wife
They got into a relationship
It was the mother of all nightmares for him
He claimed he heard from God based on his previous prayer but he assumed and he was wrong
God told a sister he would be bringing her husband into her life on a certain day by prophecy
She was working as an IT student in the Post graduate department of a University
That day she took time to dress and look her best
She got to work and a total of 17 guys dropped their cards with her/took her phone number
One came in, looked at her, and said "You are my wife"
He was the least qualified, he was 24 years old
A student of Agricultural Economics
Medical doctors, oil tycoons, military guys, etc who are
better placed in life had given her their cards
None of them called her "Wife" but she wanted an older
and more established person
The "Wife" thing was not even spiritual or special
Men say that all the time to a beautiful woman
It became a battle within her heart
Which is which and why didn't God just keep it simple?
When she got home, God said to her
He will come looking for you every day for the next month
Then you will be assured
True to God's word, he didnt call
He kept coming to her office to walk her home every evening from that day
She married him two years later
A man searched for a job for three years to no avail
God told him to go to a particular location and work as a missionary
His wife and father both said no
God didn't speak to you
You were just being impatient
On the eve of the day he was to depart
He got a good job with an oil company
His wife said, "Can you see?"
His father said, "Didn't I ask you to be patient?"
He took the job
It took him away from his father and wife
It took him away from God
He found himself in the Philippines with a strange woman
His entire life had changed drastically negatively since he
took the job
His father began to pray that God would restore him
His wife packed her bags and left after two years
He lost his job
He came back home to nothing
Then he packed his bag and left for the mission field
Human Error, Opinion/influence can distort our sight
1 Samuel 9: 1
There was a Benjamite, a man of standing, whose name was Kish son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bekorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin. 2 Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome a young man as could be found anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller than anyone else.
This was what Samuel saw when he met Saul and this also influenced him in the assumption he made about Jesse's children
Saul was picked for physical appearance and Samuel then used the same criteria that God used to pick Saul to judge in picking the sons of Jesse
Using Yesterday's criteria to make spiritual decisions today distorts our vision of God
The primary reason why many cannot see is because they use yesterday's access/revelation/access/criteria/means of revelation/means of deciding to make judgments today
If someone from a particular tribe or who looks a particular way or has a particular background breaks your heart, you tend to assume that anyone else who shares those same traits will be unreliable or unfaithful as a spouse
This is not real-time revelation, this is from experience and it is usually not God's desire
His word must come to us "In the moment" not stale words of yesterday or last week
The past also has a voice, it colors how you see things and for that reason, it programs how you see the future
Vision is not a matter of what I saw.
It is a matter of seeing (In the present)
Job 33: 23
Yet if there is an angel at their side,
a messenger, one out of a thousand,
sent to tell them how to be upright,
24 and he is gracious to that person and says to God,
‘Spare them from going down to the pit;
I have found a ransom for them—
For the believer the voice of God is ever present, an angel of God is ever present as a messenger who teaches us how to follow the instruction of the Lord and shows us how not to fall into error
Horoscopes are demonic, why do they seem right or correct? It is because there was an established pattern of behavior of certain people born in a certain period or with certain characteristics which then the devil had documented based on the past and is using to predict the future
There is no one on earth that God does not speak to
Job 33: 14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction
When a man cannot see or perceive or discern the voice of God, it is not because God is not speaking, it is because we have not gained clarity of vision and understanding
Perception is also key in seeing the purpose and visions of God clearly
Someone who believes he is a sinner already believes he cannot see or hear God
So even if God came to such wearing a red tuxedo, he or she will miss it
People who entertain gossip have distorted vision because the words being shared in gossip presents a negative light of people and creates a negative image of them so that you already have a preconceived mindset about the person
The human mind functions off what is heard and then forms an opinion of what is seen
We see and form an opinion based on the information we have about things and people before we even see them
Someone started talking about a brother in fellowship in a negative light because their relationship didn't work out. The person keeps talking about it to everyone who has an ear-to-ear
Soon, others began to come to me with complaints about the same brother
I knew it was because this one person had kept on colouring people's opinions about the person, this then distorts how the brother was seen by others and it also distorts how they receive ministrations from him
Jesus said blessed are those who believe without seeing
John 20:29 29 Jesus said to him, [a]“Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
This works both ways
Some of us hold certain beliefs that have colored our sight, these beliefs then hinder us from seeing the perfect revelation of God to us
For you to believe something you have not seen, means somebody spoke to you about it.
Thomas was told about Jesus, he didn't believe but he heard
Our "sight" is controlled by the people around us that feed us information
Pride also distorts visions, it gives the seer an over-bloated image of themselves and therefore they cannot see things as they ought to
Fear also distorts our vision, it makes us magnify things that God has labeled nothing and diminish the Word of God
30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there were of great size. 33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”
The children of Israel didn't see through the lens of God's word, they saw through the lens of their fears, and as a result, they saw a distorted vision of self
What is the information within you that you know will distort the truth of the word of God?
Run from people who will give you information to deliberately distort how you see a fellow believer or how you perceive any believer
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such thing.

The Mind and The Believer Part 1
As a child of God, you need to understand that the spiritual struggles/battles we face or fight always end up in the mind, whoever can control the mind will control the physical world
The mind is the most active part of the soul
The soul is divided into the
The Will
The mind and
The emotion
The soul has "the conscious mind" and "the subconscious mind"
When you are learning any new skill, you learn it with your conscious mind but as you master the skill, the knowledge translates to your subconscious mind
For example, driving
We learn this consciously but over time as we master it we begin to do it subconsciously
We can switch to autopilot easily
Even when we sleep, our conscious mind is turned off but our subconscious mind remains active
It is when the subconscious mind is turned off that we say somebody has died
When we do affirmations and declarations, we are programming the subconscious mind to act in a certain way
We know that the subconscious mind controls the conscious mind
Satan understands that if he gets a hold of your mind he gets control of your mind
When you hear someone has sold his soul to the devil, it means the life of such a person and all of the person's decision-making will be influenced by the devil
Satan has no gain in the death of such a person
For the person to fulfill the agenda of his or her master, he or she must be programmed to unleash mayhem in the world of men
He cannot use the dead
This is why the devil does not go to the cemetery to recruit the dead
Your biggest battles in life have nothing to do with your relationships falling apart, lack of money, losing your job, or the pain or betrayals
The goal of the devil is to make you mentally weak
Once you are mentally weak, the devil can begin to control your mind and your thoughts
This is when he can suggest to you that your enemy is your blood brother or blood sister
This is when he can focus your attention on superstitious beliefs like "enemy of your father's house, village spirit, ancestral spirit, sin, demonic influences, etc, and misdirect your focus in life
When the devil tempted Jesus, he intended to buffet the mind of Jesus and misdirect it towards things that are ungodly and unspiritual
Jesus was asked to prove he was the son of God by turning stone into bread
He knew that a mentally weak man would not see his true intention which was to get Jesus to do his will but Jesus saw through it
He told Jesus to jump from the top of the temple, quoting the scriptures about angels watching over him but Jesus knew the devil was not after the physical manifestation of his suggestion but testing to see if he would be foolish enough to do as he had suggested
The third was asking Jesus to bow to him, again promising that he would give Jesus the world but Jesus knew by bowing to the devil he would have conceded defeat and failed his assignment which was to defeat the defeat and his hordes and liberate men from the chokehold of his reign over them
It was all about mental strength and the mind of Jesus
What people dont understand is that their greatest protection against satan is to protect their mind
The mind is the most sacred thing the believer has control over
Psychologically, we are trained to program ourselves for good habits
We must position ourselves to know that spiritual reality is affected by the state of the mind
Your mental health is important as a believer
The Spiritual life is supposed to flow from the Holy Spirit to your Spirit, to your soul, and then to your body
Your mind is a very important part of the process
If you claim to walk with the Lord but your mental state is not okay, you have to know there is a problem and be quick to address it
2 Corinthians 10: 3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have the divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Notice where the problem is, it is "Argument", "Pretension that sets itself against the knowledge of God", "Taking Thoughts captive so that they can be made to obey the reality of Christ"
What does this mean?
I sit down in my house, I am supposed to pay my rent and I have no job. The landlord is on my case. I have no food to eat. I have no money in the bank. I have prayed and I have fasted. I am tired.
My wife and I are married but we dont have a child, we have been waiting for 10 years
My wife's direct boss is on her case making life difficult for her
We are a family under siege
I tell my wife I want to go to the next-door neighbour to see if i can get some money or foodstuff to borrow
My wife says I am not believing in God enough, why would i be borrowing or going abegging when I can pray
I say to her I have prayed and now i need to take a step of faith
Then I get a phone call, a colleague calls and says he has something to tell me
I ask what it is
The colleague says it was a dream he or she had
That my mother or mother-in-law is a witch and when he or she told her pastor the dream he confirmed the same and told him or her to call me
The conversation has successfully planted an idea in my mind
Do I believe it or do I hold on to the word of my confession that witches can never touch or harm me because I am in Christ?
If i do the former, i have tacitly accepted that witches have power over me in my mind but as you can see, this will not be the obvious way i will look at the issue
I might tell myself this revelation came as a result of my fasting and prayer for several days and convince myself this revelation came from God and then begin to run with this new information
This is the argument
I either buy into it or remain steadfast in my conviction of the truth which is based on the word of God
Thoughts
Certain thoughts creep into our minds when we are dealing with issues in this new reality we walk in as believers
Someone who is a drug pusher/ armed robber, murderer, prostitute, embezzler, etc becomes a Christian, his or her child dies in a motor accident or he or she gets cancer or another disease
What is your thought, your conscious thought once you hear this?
Do you feel he or she deserves it
Do you think it is Karma
Do you think it is the past catching up with him or her
Are you back to the thought that the wicked shall not go unpunished?
Are you saying he or she is suffering under the weight of curses and enchantments of the devil?
or are you immediately on your feet declaring and speaking life and comfort to the heart of the affected one without trying to justify or rationalize the issue in your heart?
Which thought would take preeminence in your life and consciousness at that moment?
Is your thought filtered through the lens of the gospel or is it filtered through another belief system that has nothing to do with Christ?
What about pretensions?
Someone comes to you in the name of the Lord to deliver a prophecy, then he or she says you must kill a fowl, drip the blood in a bucket, read Psalm on it, pour water on it, and bathe with it and your problems will be solved
This person has misrepresented Christ to you but he or she came to you in the name of Jesus.
What would you do?
Submit to the prophesy and carry it out or weigh it by the word and tell yourself this does not affirm the reality I walk in as a believer
Which would you believe?
This is the battle we all fight daily in our minds
They vary from situation to situation and are weightier depending on who they are coming from but they decide the reality we walk in consistently as believers.
Most of the things we battle with are of the mind
The fear of tomorrow, the fear of anything, thinking the worst of any situation, losing patience, and getting riled up over issues?
I remember when I was in the 300 level, we went on an expedition to a mountain in Iwo, Osun State. I led a team of student journalists to Oke Oore, where a lot of idols were being worshipped. We intended to make a documentary to be presented at a National Competition.
We got there and the power of God moved, we did the project successfully
I got back to school and it was two weeks to examination
I needed my fees to be paid and help was not forthcoming from anywhere
God had been paying the fees before this time, i had never had a carryover but that waiting period before he did it was always nerve-racking and edgy for me
I was rarely able to study or concentrate
A thought came to me that i could go to that mountain and seek the help of the juju men there to do a charm that i could use to talk to my father who lived in America at the time but had refused to pick up my calls or support my education in any way
I was going to bow to an idol and get charms as a born-again Christian because i was under pressure to pay my fees and I wanted to use charms to get my father to send me the money
i didnt see things as i ought to
My mind had been taken over by the moment that i forgot the word of God and who I am in Christ
I forgot how I got the admission and all the wonders that God had done to keep me in school, like King Saul who was made a King but forgot who gave him the throne - I was given admission by God but I wanted to keep the admission through the devil.
it was a battle of the mind and at the time I was found wanting on the day of adversity
I was on my way to the jujuman, I had already boarded a taxi when the Holy Spirit said "Where are you going?"
it was loud and clear
I said "I am looking for a solution to pay my fees"
He said you will go to those tattered beggars who had never seen 100,000 Naira before at once in their life to collect a charm that will pay for fees of 400,000 Naira?
I knew this
I saw them
They were dirt-poor
I mean, if i had any sense...
I started laughing at myself in the taxi
I laughed and laughed and laughed until the taxi driver thought i had gone mad and himself parked his taxi by and told me to alight from it
I did
I returned to school of foot still laughing hysterically
Two weeks later, i was summoned to the School gate by the University's security personnel
I ran there thinking i had done something wrong
When i got there I met the lead Jujuman of the mountain at the school gate
He told me since we came to do the documentary, things had not been the same
The charms had gotten destroyed and many of the worshippers on the mountain had left because they felt we brought a bad omen to the mountain
He said things had gotten so bad for him, he prayed to God and he was told to come and see me so that i could tell him what to do
Ha!
I almost fainted
Imagine that i had gone to him first...
I would have undone the work of salvation that the Holy Spirit was doing in his life because of my selfish issues which are temporal and of no eternal value
I led the man to Christ and till today he is one of the missionaries that I support in ministry
This event taught me quite a lot about what matters and what does not matter that much
I realised i needed mental toughness, the Lord is my strength and my salvation!
Apostle Paul had mental toughness, he called adversity light affliction and the Bible said the disciples were glad to go through pains for the sake of Christ
they were not namby-pambies like many of us are
Not gripping and complaining all the time about things that do not matter
