Thank you oh my Father
For giving us Your Son
And leaving Your Spirit
'Til the work on earth is done.
@OPay_NG 48 hours after & I have yet to get the promised feedback. Your inability to resolve this issue clearly shows that Opay had no intention of delivering the card from the outset. It shouldnāt be this hard to either refund my money or deliver the card I paid for since November 2025.
@OPay_NG I had checked my DM. You stated to give you 24-48 hours. Fine, awaiting the resolution. Responded to the last DM prior to this in 25 December 2025 and no action was taken by you. I hope this wonāt be a repeat.
@OPay_NG@OPay_NG Why do you collect money for debit cards and fail to deliver until people come online to call you out? Itās been 3 months thereabouts that I got charged and you refused to refund my money or deliver the card I paid for. This is breach of contract!!
@OPay_NG@OPay_NG How about you refund my money or deliver the debit card I paid. Indeed, little things means the most so stop taking money for debit cards and failing to deliver the cards. Your action is called unfair commercial practice. It is a fraudulent act!!!
I keep seeing people call Pastor Chris a false prophet, and I canāt stay silent.
I was healed of epilepsy in 2017. This wasnāt during Healing Streams. Pastor Chris came to Benin for the Higher Life Conference. He didnāt touch me. He only spoke the Word, and I believed. That was it.
I had been in Christ Embassy since I was 8 years old, but that day everything changed. My life changed. My faith changed. My understanding of God changed.
So when I hear Christians say they donāt believe in miracles, I honestly laugh. Because the Bible is clear. Jesus Himself said, āGreater works than these shall you do.ā
Telling people to get up from their stretchers is nothing new. Jesus did it. Peter did it. Paul did it. The power was never in the stretcher. It was always in the Word and in faith.
If you donāt believe in miracles, then what exactly do you believe in?
God is still healing. Jesus is still Lord. And testimonies like mine are proof.
I was diagnosed with Multiple Scoliosis over 35 years ago when there were no medicines available other than massive doses of Prednisone. I was told I would not be able to walk and most likely be in a wheel chair within the year to two years. At one point my equilibrium was so bad I was unable to move without stumbling.
My entire left side as if someone took a maker down the middle of my body became numb. I was told I had scaring on my brain from the damage of the MS.
I never gave up and I became more compelled to pray and believe God was my only hope.
Since that time I have published two books, decorated three different homes, traveled and walked around the world including visits to Rome, Greek, Rhodes, Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Scotland twice, and Ireland. Taught children's Church, and went back to college.
I am now almost 76 years old and this is me today by the Grace of God. So yes I do believe.....
@OPay_NG Your company accepted payment for a card but has failed to deliver it to me. Your customer service has also refused to resolve this issue. A quick search on X shows that it is a trend with Opay. @fccpcnigeria should look into this.
@chef_amakaa Old taker biko. Adding a small amount of potash (kaun or akaun) to boiling water before adding the ewedu leaves helps make it softer and increases sliminess (make it draw).
Yes, āthe whole world lies under the evil oneā (1 John 5:19) ā but that refers to the world system, not the believer.
John made two identities in that verse:
1. We ā the children of God.
2. The world ā the unbelieving system under the influence of the evil one.
Two different realms.
Two different masters.
Two different economies.
Jesus already made this distinction clear:
āYou are in the world but not of the world.ā
John 17:14ā16
Meaning: The believer is geographically present in the world,
but spiritually located in Christ.
So yes, satan influences the worldās systems ā culture, values, thinking.
But the believer does not belong to that realm.
And Jesus did not leave this open-ended.
He concluded it with victory:
āIn the world you will have trouble,
but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.ā
John 16:33
So the believerās posture is not: āThe world is under satan, so be afraid.ā
It is: The world is under satan, but YOU are in Christ who already overcame him.
Now read the very next verse after 1 John 5:19:
1 John 5:20 āBut we know the Son of God has comeā¦
and we are in Him who is true.ā
That is the key: The world is under the evil one,
but we are in Christ ā not in the worldās dominion.
So the conclusion is simple:
Yes, the evil one refers to satan.
But satanās influence is over the world, not the believer.
The believerās realm is Christ, not the world.
The believerās identity is child of God, not subject of darkness.
The believerās location is seated with Christ, not controlled by the evil one (Ephesians 2:6).
Summary:
⢠The world may lie under satan.
⢠The believer lies in Christ.
And eternal life is defined this way:
āThis is eternal life, that they may know You,
the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.ā
John 17:3
Knowing Christ is your separation.
Knowing Christ is your victory.
Knowing Christ is your realm.
That is why satan is defeated as far as the believer is concerned.
Let us say it louder now.
There is a language circulating among believers today that is not biblical. It did not come from the Lord. It did not come from the apostles. It came from fear-formed religion and emotional spirituality masquerading as revelation.
Examples-
āIf you do ABC, satan will immediately do XYZ.ā
āSatan will always try to counter your blessing.ā
āSatan will make sure you fall when you are close to success.ā
āSatan will attack you because of your destiny.ā
āSatan can read your progress in the spirit.ā
āSatan is a master strategist.ā
āSatan knows how to wait patiently for the right moment.ā
āSatan will always plot silently.ā
āSatan can track your destiny.ā
āSatan can...ā
āSatan will...ā
āSatan will always...ā
āSatan knows...ā
Do you realise none of this is scriptural?
Do you realise the Bible does not teach any of this?
The real question is simple:
Which Bible are we reading?
Whose voice are we echoing?
What Christ are we preaching?
Because the Christ of Scripture is clear:
āI SAW SATAN FALL LIKE LIGHTNING.ā
Not walking.
Not strategising.
Not patiently calculating.
FALLING.
Instantly.
Publicly.
Violently.
Without recovery.
Jesus never said: āStudy his strategies.ā
āDecode his timing.ā
āUnderstand his patience.ā
He said: He is fallen.
He is judged.
He has nothing in Me.
Now look at the epistles.
When satan is mentioned, the tone is consistent:
⢠He is defeated (Colossians 2:15).
⢠He is under Christās feet (Ephesians 1:22).
⢠We are seated in Christ (Ephesians 2:6).
So if he is under Christās feet, and we are in Christ, under whose feet is he now?
Yet modern preaching talks as if satan is running the control room of the universe.
A defeated enemy becomes powerful again when your imagination resurrects him.
Now look at how the Lord responded when satan moved against Peter:
He did not say, āLet me teach you how to analyse satanās strategy.ā
He did not say, āLet us decode the sifting technology of darkness.ā
He said:
āI have prayed for you that your faith should not fail.ā
Not that satan should not sift.
Not that the event should not happen.
Not that satan is unstoppable.
Rather, Christ is a higher intelligence and the preservation of the believer is in faith, not satan-awareness.
Now look at Paul.
When a messenger of satan was sent to buffet him, the answer was not: āPaul, let us now examine the demonic assignment in detail.ā
The answer was: āMy grace is sufficient.ā
It was grace that was emphasised.
Not the messenger of satan.
Not the mechanics of attack.
Not the intelligence of darkness.
Grace was louder.
Christ was larger.
The focus remained where the power is.
Then comes the most abused verse:
āWe are not ignorant of his devices.ā (2 Corinthians 2:11) pls read
This text has been used to justify demon intelligence briefings every Sunday.
Yet in context, Paul was speaking about forgiving a brother.
The ādeviceā is bitterness.
Not marine spirits.
Not ancestral gates.
Not demonic strategy modules.
Paul was saying: If we refuse to walk in love, satan takes advantage of that breach.
That is all.
Where Scripture says stand, we have built surveillance systems.
Where Scripture says resist, we have written theologies of fear.
Where Scripture says give no place, we have built entire doctrines giving him centre stage.
The gospel is not a publicity ministry for satan.
No preacher is called to be satanās analyst.
No believer is called to be a demon archivist.
The gospel is the revelation of Christ.
The life is found in Christ.
The victory is sustained in Christ.
The believer stands by Christ.
And Jesus Himself defined the entire essence of the Christian journey in one sentence:
āThis is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.ā
John 17:3
Not: āThat they may study satan to survive.ā
No.
The life is knowing God.
Once Christ is known, satan becomes a non-factor.
Because revelation of Christ does not only expose satan.
It cancels him.
Iāll say a few thingsā¦
1. The anger, the hate, the love, the applause, the criticism, all of it is valid and I embrace it.
2. I am a world record holder which means I have attained something no one else in the world has ever done. I was recently honored and awarded by the city of New York.
To be honored and received by the President and the highest office in my own country for this reason is not a crime. (It is not even a national honor by the way).
I have declined many awards.
Comparing me to people who have received awards and recognition from countries that have committed war crimes is at best laughable.
3. I have no interest in partisan politics because of the sensitivity of the work that I do. If that ever changes, then I would resign my role as CEO of chess in slums Africa.
4. The rhetoric that Chess in slums only exists or is relevant because of bad governance is not accurate. The real impact of our work is in the synapses. Weāre using chess as a tool to teach cognition and improve academic outcomes. Using it as a social intervention tool is because those children have fallen through the cracks and cannot make it to the classrooms. This is not charity or āNGOā. What most of you measure as the most tangible impact is we just dignifying the stories of the children you see all the time on the streets but pay no attention to. The real impact here is ensuring they have the critical capacity to think for themselves and putting them through formal or vocational education.
I continue to consult with educational institutions and tech companies around the world, so my work will always be relevant and whatever resource or influence that gives me, I will use all of it to serve the children who deserve a place in the world as well.
5. A visit is not an endorsement. I will visit many more people and will continue to sell my chess boards.
6. You may not understand my intentions or character because the only thing you know about me is what I let on social media. But reputation is not character.
Itās been 10 long years of staying with this one thing, so I know for a fact that I have earned the benefit of the doubt.
7. Again, I embrace the love and the hate. But I care for none of it.
In a decade or two, the Chess/STEM institute will stand and it will be a place where thousands of children will dream again and be educated in a way that makes them valuable to the world.
All the strong opinions we have now falls flat in the face of this.
8. Finally, I appreciate everyone who has ever supported the incredible work weāve done in the last 7 years. We have never applied or received any international grants in this time.
9. Weāve been working with the Lagos state government for about a year now to take kids from Jakande and Isale Eko off the streets. One of them recently graduated from furniture school and is living again. Our collective hurt is valid and we may disagree on politics but there are actual lives at stake and we all have a role to play in whatever capacity to stop this hemorrhage. Yes we will partner with the government to scale this impact and institutionalize it so Tunde stops being the hero of the story. Itās your tax anyway.
10. Finally Iād say this, My fight is different.
Iām not on the fence. I took a stand 10 years ago for the country I want to see.
The truth is I will do many more things that may challenge your perception of me, but I know my heart is in the right place and whatever rooms my vision gives me access to, I will put the dreams and needs of the children first.
I live for the audience of one, and that is enough.

I've seen firsthand how UNICEFās work saves and uplifts the lives of millions of children.
This work is possible because of the generous support of partners and donors.
Weāre thankful and urge donors to continue supporting this life-saving work for children.
@Preacherrapper If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. - 2 Corinthians 5:17. Old things included curses in your lineage before you became the new creation. No exceptions!
