Important note to pastors who are trying to play to the gallery about the genocide of Christians in the North.

[Gideon Odoma @gideonodoma]

WATCH THIS VIDEO AND HEAR ME OUT IN TWO (PERSONAL) STORIES

My wife has not been able to get the indigeneship certificate from her actual state of origin. Why. Because she converted to Christianity. Yes. Sokoto state has denied her the so-called "state of origin certificate," despite many efforts.

In fact, after our wedding, I insisted that she try again. She traveled up to Sokoto, spent a full week there and came back empty handed. They refused to issue her the certificate.

Today, her state of origin certificate is from my state, not her father's state. Again, I'll remind you why: because she converted to Christianity. They told her in clear and plain terms. They re-emphasized it in the Hausa language at the office in Sokoto, to make it crystal clear. They were not going to issue her the certificate because she is a Christian.

So, a few months after our wedding, 17 years ago, she was admitted to the Nigerian Law School (NLS). We heard that Sokoto state gave out 500,000 Naira and a laptop to each indigene of the state who got admitted to the NLS. But my wife almost missed resumption because we could not raise 240,000 Naira to pay her fees. We had just married, but wedding aside, I was normally and naturally broke. But then, by a 'miracle', we managed to raise the fee a day to the closing date of registration.

Story two:
While I was in Unijos, I knew Christian students from Bauchi state who were constantly denied their state's bursary, because, you guessed it, they are Christians. The scholarship board would somehow omit their names from the approved bursary list. They can tell that you're a Christian just by your name, even without ever meeting/knowing you.

So, when the affected students appealed, the state's student association would encourage them to go and file a complaint. Usually, after a lot of back and forth, and traveling back to Bauchi to report the omission, traveling to their local government to obtain validation letters and then providing proof on indigeneship, 1. They would have spent about the equivalent of the bursary amount on logistics and transportation. 2. They would finally be told that the year's bursary program had ended, and that they should wait for the following year. The following year, the same “omission mistake” would happen. Rinse and repeat.

Therefore, while thy government agency and the officials in charge would never tell them that they were being victimized because of their Christian faith, both sides of the drama knew. It was just a power play and the Christians could do nothing about it.

Those brethren went through this ordeal and graduated, never receiving this statutory benefit from their state, even though they qualified for it. Their only offense was that they were in the wrong religion.

Time would fail me to multiply these stories.
There has been a systematic, systemic assault on Christians and Christianity in these parts. What you hear in the attached video is the normal experience of many Christians who happen to be minorities in their state. The genocide dimension is simply one segment of an elaborate, diabolical, subjugation project.

It has only been getting worse.
But it has to stop!

[Talk Church @churchtalkative]

I admire the strength of this Nigerian Priest!🤍

[Prophet Joel Ogebe @ProphetJoelO]

Beyond a father, he is a sign. We remain steadfast in Love, and strong in our faith fight.

[ToluwalogoAgboola @RevToluAgboola]

So sad, The Christianity in the North and the Christianity in the South… what a vast and troubling difference.

[Gideon Odoma @gideonodoma]

September 2001 in Jos, I narrowly escaped being slaughtered during that unfortunate religious crisis. I have lived through cycles of crises on the Plateau since then. People that I know, ministry members, have been killed by the same people who would have killed me in 2001. Late October and after a month of negotiations we finally secured the release of a brother from the den of kidnappers. I mean like two weeks ago. The security agencies were absolutely useless. They were contacted, but they declined to help.

All you woke and compromised Christians should not add provocation to our pain.

I have met children who were born in IDP camps and are now in primary school, still living in the camps. Many of their villages are presently 'occupied' by the genocidal marauders who invaded and sacked them, and some of those same villages have now been renamed. Do you think these people care if America is sincere in its motive or not? In the face of their humiliating bereavement and misery and impoverishment, what has Nigeria done for these displaced Christians? Tell, what?

"‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the LORD, ‘Curse its inhabitants bitterly,
Because they did not come to the help of the LORD, To the help of the LORD against the mighty.’"
– The Bible

[ToluwalogoAgboola @RevToluAgboola]

(A Cry in the Spirit)

I have seen Yet Another gate…
It is dreadful to behold,
for many servants of the LORD walk through it Comfortably.
It does not smell of sin,
it smells of success.
It does not bear the look of rebellion,
it wears the garment of excellence.
Yet before GOD, it is rebellion still.

It is called The Gate of Substitution.

It is the place where men who once heard GOD now help Him.

I saw altars still burning
but with strange fire.
Songs still rising
but without fragrance.
Hands still lifted
but no longer accepted.
And the LORD wept.

He said to me,

“My house is full of movements I did not initiate.
My name is on many things I did not instruct.
I am being replaced by men who still speak for ME.”

Oh, I saw men who once waited for the whisper of His breath,
now running on the memory of what He said.
I saw priests who once carried burdens,
now managing brands.
I saw altars raised to preserve visibility,
not to host Divinity.

This gate does not destroy your ministry;
it empties it.
You will still have crowds,
but no Presence.
You will still have results,
but no approval.
You will still have invitations,
but no voice.

And I heard the Spirit cry within me,
with pain too deep for words

“Return”
“Return”
“Return to the silence that taught you dependence.”

For the LORD says,

“I am not impressed by what you build for ME,
when you have stopped building with ME.
I do not dwell in accuracy without intimacy.
I do not walk with men who no longer wait for ME.”

Oh generation of men,
How did we get here?
When did we learn to replace HIM with strategy?
When did we begin to measure the move of GOD
by the noise of men?

This is the gate that deceives the anointed.
It feeds on those who once carried burdens.
It blinds the eyes that once saw clearly.
It makes you effective before men
and irrelevant before GOD.

Beloved, beware…
You can still move multitudes
and yet be missing from the roll call of intimacy.
You can still quote HIS words
and yet no longer Know HIM.
You can still cry “Revival!”
and yet be void of the SPIRIT who revives.

And the Lord whispered again,
in that holy sorrow that only few discern

“Tell My sons, I miss their brokenness.”
“Tell My servants, I miss their tears.”
“Tell My daughters, I miss their waiting.”

For it is possible to work for GOD
and yet walk away from HIM.
It is possible to build what men will celebrate
and yet grieve the One who called you.
It is possible to fill the earth with your name
and yet stand unknown before the throne.

IF You Are Broken and Sorry Like Me Repeat This Words After Me,

Oh LORD…
Deliver us from the Gate of Substitution.
Deliver us from the need to be seen.
Deliver us from the noise that drowned Your whisper.
Deliver us from the ease that killed our hunger.

Strip us again until only You remain.
Empty us again until dependence is restored.
Break us again until tears return.
Hide us again until pride dies.

Let the applause fade,
let the stage go dark,
let the systems collapse
if only Your Presence will return.

For what use is ministry without You?
What use is accuracy without intimacy?
What use is influence if You are absent?

Oh God…
Save us from the Gate of Substitution.
That we may not preach what we no longer live,
That we may not teach what You no longer bless,
That we may not lead men to You
while walking away from You ourselves.

For in the end,
it will not be what we did for You,
but what remained of You in us
that YOU will weigh.

LORD, Help Toluwalogo Agboola.

PASTOR, GO BACK HOME (PART TEN)

Pastor,
You are functioning like an itinerant at home.

This is a call to balance.
It is not about time management.
It is about the misrepresentation of priesthood.
It is about the betrayal of GOD’s divine order.
It is about treating an altar GOD Himself established as optional.

PASTOR, GOD HAS BEEN REVIEWING YOUR JOURNEY.

Your exploits are many.
Your travels are known.
Your impact is real.

But the LORD searched for a record of your priesthood at home
And the scroll was thin.

He found testimonies from nations,
But only silence from your children.
He found records of conferences,
But absence of covenant fulfillment in your marriage.
He found crusades and healings,
But could not find any in your home.

And the SPIRIT began to ask...

YOUR ABSENCE IS NOT A MISTAKE.
IT IS A VIOLATION.

You say, “My wife understands the call”
As an excuse.

You say, “My children will learn by watching me serve GOD”
But that is not the model.
GOD never asked your children to grow up as orphans of revival.

You say, “I was building the Kingdom”
But what kind of Kingdom begins with the collapse of a covenant?

THE STANDARDS FOR SHEPHERDS ARE DIFFERENT.

You are not just a man of GOD.
You are a husband.
You are a father.
You are a model of GOD’s government.

“He must rule his own house well...”
(1 Timothy 3:4)

Yes,
The meetings are powerful.
The invitations are increasing.
The offerings are abundant.

But the condition of your home is bad.

THE QUESTIONS WILL BE ASKED.

He will ask:

“Did you love the woman I gave you sacrificially?”

“Did your children inherit the calling or resentment?”

“Did your house host My Presence or just your church?”

“Were you faithful… in what was first?”

SO HERE IS THE SUMMONS: RETURN.

Not for damage control.
Not for temporary rest.
Not to buy gifts or stage a devotion.

Return...

Return as priest.
Return as the man.
Return — before your house testifies against you.

Because Pastor,
If the GOD you preach does not live in your house —
Then your ministry is not true.
Your calling is incomplete.

PASTOR, BE CAREFUL.

You are not failing because the church isn’t growing.
You are failing because the people who share your last name
Are dying silently.

You are not disqualified because of immorality.
You are disqualified because of neglect.

If your wife is abandoned,
If your children are left fatherless,
If your home is dry while your sermons are fresh...

Then there is a big problem.

PASTOR, GO BACK HOME.

While there is still time.
Before your absence becomes their identity.

Go back home
Because what you build in secret
Is what GOD weighs in public.

Pastor, go back home.

[Keshak Petshak John @PetshakJohn]

@RevToluAgboola God bless you Sir for this.

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Everyone treats their Bible like a spiritual self-help guide, flipping to random pages for comfort.

I did that for years.

But what hit me hard last night will destroy your comfortable Christianity forever.

This book isn’t here to make you feel better.

I used to be a verse-cherry-picker.

Bad day? Flip to Jeremiah 29:11.

Worried? Matthew 6:26.

Broke? Philippians 4:19.

Treat the Bible like a spiritual vending machine—insert problem, get comfort verse.

But last night, reading Isaiah, something shattered my cozy theology.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” - Isaiah 5:20

I realized: I wasn’t reading the Bible.

I was editing it.

Highlighting the parts that made me feel good.

Skipping the parts that made me squirm.

Here’s what wrecked me:

The Bible isn’t a manual for a better life.

It’s a wrecking ball for your comfortable one.

It’s not here to validate your choices.

It’s here to obliterate your excuses.

It’s not asking if you “get it.”

It’s asking if you’re ready to be UNDONE.

I know a pastor who spent 20 years preaching “your best life now” messages.

Comfortable congregation. Growing attendance. Fat offering plates.

Then he actually read the whole Bible
not just the highlight reel.

It destroyed his ministry. And saved his soul.

Jesus didn’t say “Follow me and life gets easier.”

He said “Take up your cross and follow me.”

He said “Narrow is the way.”

He said “In this world you will have trouble.”

The Gospel isn’t a life improvement plan
it’s a death certificate.

Want to know why so many Christians are weak, entitled, and ineffective?

Because they’ve turned the Word of God into self-help fluff.

The same book that toppled empires and transformed savages has been reduced to inspirational quotes for your coffee mug.

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training.” - 2 Timothy 3:16

Notice what comes before “training”?
REBUKING. CORRECTING.

The Bible’s job isn’t to affirm you—it’s to TRANSFORM you.

I spent years avoiding Ecclesiastes because it was “too depressing.”

I skipped over Lamentations because it was “too negative.”

I rushed through Romans 1 because it made me “uncomfortable.”

Translation: I was scared of truth that required change.

The parts of Scripture that make you squirm are the parts you need most.

The verses that offend your sensibilities are the ones targeting your sin.

The passages that seem “too harsh” are the ones your flesh is fighting.

The chapters you skip are where your breakthrough lives.

Real talk: A comfortable Christian is a compromised Christian.

If your Bible reading never convicts you, you’re not reading—you’re browsing.

If Scripture never makes you uncomfortable, you’re not submitting
you’re selecting.

I remember the night I decided to read the Bible God’s way instead of mine.

Cover to cover. Every genealogy. Every judgment. Every hard saying.

It was brutal. It was beautiful. It broke me completely.

And for the first time in my life, I felt truly FREE.

The Bible isn’t asking for your opinion.

It’s not requesting your approval.

It’s not seeking your comfort level.

It’s COMMANDING your surrender.

The question isn’t “Do I like what this says?”

The question is “Will I submit to what this demands?”

Stop treating God’s Word like a buffet where you pick what you like and leave the rest.

Start treating it like MEDICINE

take the whole dose, even if it tastes bitter.

Especially if it tastes bitter.

Your challenge:

Read one chapter that makes you uncomfortable this week.

Don’t skip the hard parts.

Don’t spiritualize away the clear commands.

Let it wreck your theology if necessary.

Drop a ⚡ if you’re ready to let God’s Word do what it was designed to do:

TRANSFORM you.

MINISTRY... YOUNGER PEOPLE

Every year, during MiS, we invite an elder to teach and minister to us. We seek to learn from their experience acquired over decades of walking with the Lord. We expect them to tell us a lot of how they've seen God's word play out. Experience.

I see younger ministers trying to do the same a lot these days. I see people starting out in ministry focusing on 'firing people up' to make an impact, or to pray prayers, or to be disciplined. It is very effective, short-term. It may even be some form of spirit-coated motivational exercise unto good works. I get it. But I think it is inappropriate. Leave that work for elders. And do it very sparingly. If you are young, bury your life in the scripture. Exegesis. Hermeneutics. These should be your obsession.

Teach the scriptures. Expound it. Teach it raw. Let stories and illustrations be scanty in your delivery. Aim for naked mastery of the word. No toppings, no garnishing. If you are young, you don't have the breadth and the luxury for that sort of unhinged, even if fiery protocol. Yrs, i know that it is tempting to go that exciting route, because it usually sparks prayer. Young audiences go ga-ga at such deliveries and it might even make you popular. But your soul, your soul, o man of God, will be lean. Your asernal will have petrol, but not rocks. Your word-store will be emasculated, and your doctrine will be flippant and emotional.
You will start to depend on 'inspiration' a lot, and you will start to commit doctrinal blunders frequently.
You may have fire. But you will lack wood to keep that fire burning. Your ministry will spark people, but will hardly ground them. We build with doctrine, unembelished doctrine.

If you are young, leave the elders to 'speak', leave 'talk' for them. If you are young, labour in the word, in doctrine. Let those who hear you be burdened with untempered excavations from the word. Be meaty. Just keep at the word. Stay with scriptures. Let most of your statements be clear explication of the text of scripture before you.

I will say more later. And when I do, I will still end with this paraphrase from a wise man: learn to read the lines before attempting to read between the lines. Till then, stay with the 'lines'.
