A MAN WITHOUT A REVELATION IS A LIMITED MAN.
From my personal experience, a man not acquainted with revelation will be limited in life.
In the early 80s, I finished writing my A Level examination and I heard the voice that told me to go and look for my former in-law who left my sister 9 years prior. Which sane man will go and meet a former in-law for help? He got me a job two weeks after leaving school and I saved enough money to travel abroad from there. That led to what you are seeing in my life today. The rest is history.
I had revelations that Bimbo was my wife whilst on a noisy bus to go and do a cleaning job in 1992. We have been married for over 31 years.
I had revelations that I should go and study law after many years of doing odd jobs in the United Kingdom. Even though I have always wanted to be a lawyer, the passion had already died when I started making money in the UK. You can see what the legal profession has done for me.
I had revelations to make a telephone call to an estate agent on the 11th of February 2011 and by the 15th of June 2011, we had bought a multimillion pounds church building in London without registering with an agent or having a building committee.
I had revelations to change the ticket of my nephew who was coming to join me in the UK in 2009 to an earlier date which was more expensive. The date I changed it to was the day I met Dr. Sam Adeyemi at Heathrow Airport. We became good friends. That man has been of immense help to my life.
I had a revelation of Dr. Sunday Adelaja whom I had never heard of or met in 2004 in a dream. I woke up and googled his name as I was told and I got in contact with him. We became good friends. That man helped me a lot.
I have had other bigger revelations that moved me forward in life. I just told you a few and I would have been limited without revelations. The worst part of not having revelations is that you will not know you have missed good opportunities.
Some of the revelations came through hearing the voice of God, through seeing visions, and some through dreams.
I had revelations to start writing to build people up on Social Media in February 2022. I have been on Twitter since 2015 but I have not been using it. You can tell the difference now.
If you don’t get revelations, you may become limited in the journey of life because most depression and failures are caused by frustration when things are not working.
To become a man or woman of revelations, make sure you pray a lot with your senses, pray a lot in the spirit, study the Bible a lot, and fast frequently. Let me help you with two beautiful scriptures.
Job 32:8 “But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding”.
Isaiah 30:21 “Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you, a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left”. That is the spirit of direction.
If the spirit is not leading you, the flesh may lead you away from your destiny.
Happy New Month and may you grow in revelation.

Fellow Nigerians, as our dear country marks her 62nd Independence anniversary, I bring you fraternal greetings. Even as we remain thankful, prayerful and hopeful for a brighter future; we are mindful that many Nigerians are resigned,
Selling crowd instead of ideas and giving rhetorics and clichés at every opportunity to prove capability won’t move the needle on Election Day. Reality responds more to substance than the ephemeral spectacle created to entertain the brainless. #BeMindful 🎙️
