Same Man, with different , INEC Record's That Keeps Changing.

In 1992, while running for Senate, he submitted a "BSc in Accounting" from Chicago State University to INEC.

In 1999, while running for Governor, he submitted a "BSc in Economics" from Chicago State University to INEC.

In 2022, while running for President, he submitted a "BSc in Business 'AND' Administration" from Chicago State University to INEC.

In 2026, while running for re-election as President, he submitted a "BSc in Accounting and Business" from Chicago State University to INEC.

Same man. Same university. Same INEC. Four different Bsc certificates with same graduation year.

Now before anyone shouts "clerical error" — let me stop you there. A clerical error happens once. Maybe twice if someone is careless. But four times across three decades, with different course titles each time? That is not a mistake. That is an "Oluwole" pattern.

And here is the part that should make you angry.

There is no such course as "Business and Administration" in any university in the world. Yet that exact title appeared on a presidential nomination form submitted to Nigeria's electoral commission.

Chicago State University officials testified in court that they cannot verify the specific diploma that was submitted to INEC.

Meanwhile, on those same 2022 and 2026 INEC forms, the primary and secondary school sections were left completely blank?

His excuses??

"Powerful Earthquake moved the location of my primary & secondary school to an unknown destination and my certificate stolen during the Biafra war"

There is one more detail still missing.

He had first presented a certificate from "University of Chicago" before he now changed it to "Chicago State University. Both are existing but different University.

So let me ask the real question.

If a man cannot keep his own academic record straight across four election cycles, what makes any of his supprters believe he will keep the nation's treasury straight?

If he cannot tell the truth about a certificate, why should his supprters trust his budget figures, subsidy removal figures, accounts or his election results?

And the saddest part?

INEC allowed it.
The courts dismissed it on technical grounds.
The system shrugged.

Because at the top, the rules bend. At the bottom, they break you.

This is not about one man's memory.

This is about a country that has been taught to accept anything from those in power.

A certificate that changes with every campaign is not a paperwork problem.

It is a display of a dubious personality character trait problem.

And a system that keeps looking away is the bigger problem.

Accountability cannot be optional for the powerful while it is mandatory for the poor.

[Gbenga Samuel-Wemimo @GbengaWemimo]

A man reached out to me to complain about his wife's sudden irritation and dissatisfaction with everything he does.
He said he married her as a virgin, and they have five children together
He is a petroleum engineer with one of the big oil companies in Nigeria and often spent weeks on the rig while his wife lived in Port Harcourt with his children.
He said they had always been at peace with each other, and he always carried her along with his plans and business ventures.
Because she didn't have a job to keep her busy, he opened two businesses for her so that she would not be idle and regardless of how the businesses perform, he subsidises them by paying the rent for the shops and stocking up the goods every January.
He said he could not explain his wife's sudden unhappiness and the fact that nothing he did was enough to satisfy her or placate her.

I asked him what the last issue they had a disagreement over was.
He said it was about the choice of secondary school their first child would attend.
He said he did his research and chose a school; his wife decided to choose another school, which would cost him ten times more than his budget.
He said he told his wife they could not afford the school fees based on their financial plan and goals at that moment, and his wife turned it into a civil war.
At that time, they were living in a rented apartment, and he was saving up some money to buy a house for them somewhere in Eagle Estate.

They had been married for fifteen years, and he had never cheated on her or given her any reason to be unhappy with him since they got married.

I reached out to his wife. I didn't mention her husband's concern at all. I said, "Who is the other man, apart from your husband, who has been talking to you in the last few months?"
She said, "Brother Gbenga, is that what you will say? Didn't he tell you that our daughter is struggling academically and that the school he picked is most likely not the best for her?
I ignored her.
I said, "Sister, please be truthful with me. I know there is someone you met recently, or who was an old friend who you suddenly resurrected your friendship or acquaintanceship with in the last few months. I also know that your conversation is quite intimate and personal. So who is he?"

She replied, "Brother Gbenga, did he tell you that I got married to him as a virgin? After our marriage, I got pregnant as soon as we had our first sexual intercourse, and since then all I have been doing is popping babies every other year. I cannot say I have enjoyed all the things I read about in books and watch on TV or hear on blogs which other women talk about, like "shaking legs syndrome", "spinning head syndrome" or "fainting spell syndrome" after sex.
He does the best he can, and he is virile, but what about all those things I know I may be missing out on?
Don't I, as a woman, have a right to experience all that?

I said, "Stop deflecting, madam. Who is this person?"

She said, "He is an old friend who I used to have a crush on when I was in secondary school. Nothing came of it because we parted ways when I gained admission to the university, and my husband married me as soon as I graduated from the university.
We came in contact again recently when the old student association of my set contacted me regarding organising a reunion, and we all got added to a WhatsApp group.

"So what have you guys been talking about?" I Asked

"We reminisce about the good old days, and he talks about his desire for me back then, which couldn't be fulfilled because I got married quickly and moved out of Lagos to Port Harcourt.
He said he couldn't act on his feelings because I was a pastor's daughter, and he knew he had to come correct.
He said the kind of imagination in his head towards me would have left me floating on cloud nine for a long time if he had been allowed to handle me."

I let her talk on and on. I insisted that she must not hide anything. It got to a point where she forwarded all the chat messages they exchanged and the voice notes to me while recounting the phone call exchanges.

When she was done, I said, "Do you know what you have been doing with this man?"

She said, "Brother Gbenga, it sounds like I have been cheating on my husband with him. I didn't see it that way before; I just felt that it took him talking to me for me to see the flaws in my otherwise perfect marriage"

I said, "Has he not asked you to come and meet with him somewhere?"

She said, "He is based in Canada, and we have made arrangements to see him when he comes to Nigeria for holidays this Christmas"

I started laughing like God.
She got embarrassed and started crying.

We can all choose not to see something that is obvious in the name of having a new experience or fighting boredom or getting entertained. And sometimes we choose that path and deny the obvious consequences of it.

Dissatisfaction between a man and his wife does not just come out of the blue; it always takes a serpent to tell Eve that the life she has and has been enjoying with her husband is not good enough or that she deserves better.

A wise man or woman would keep the doors of his or her happy home and life shut to outsiders who would come in to sow seeds of discord simply because they want a piece of what you have, which they cannot have as long as your door is shut.

Always remember this!

The Persecution That Doesn’t Make the Headlines

I am a Muslim convert to Christianity. I lived for 15 years as a Christian believer in Morocco, much of that time in what we called the underground church.

Listen carefully, because this is what “moderate Islam” looked like for us:

Morocco is considered one of the most moderate Muslim countries. That is true compared with Mauritania and Libya, where converts from Islam face the death penalty, or Egypt, Jordan, Syria, the West Bank, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Pakistan, where converts face imprisonment, torture, intimidation, or severe persecution.

But here is the reality of “moderate” Morocco.

We gathered secretly in homes every Sunday because churches were for foreign Christians, not Moroccan converts. We sang in low voices so the neighbors would not hear us. We arrived two at a time to avoid suspicion. If anyone asked, we pretended it was simply a gathering of family and friends.

We baptized converts in bathtubs.

I was baptized in a bathtub myself. A missionary and a few Moroccan Christians were the only people present.

We kept our house churches small, usually fewer than twenty people. When they became too large, we split them. Christmas and a few special occasions were exceptions.

Police raided Christian gatherings, confiscated Christian materials, dragged believers to police stations, interrogated them, threatened them, and humiliated them with vulgar language.

Our children had to go to school and study Islam and memorize the Quran even though their parents were Christians.

We could not freely give our children Christian names. The government did not need to write “Christian names are forbidden” in bold letters. The authorities simply refused to register them.

Our marriages were treated as Islamic marriages under Sharia because the Moroccan state refused to recognize us for what we actually were: Moroccan Christians.

A Moroccan Christian woman could not simply marry a foreign Christian man as a Christian. He had to establish before the authorities that he was Muslim because, according to the government, she was still a Muslim.

The state decided our religion for us.

Even death did not end it.

When a Moroccan Christian died, he was buried in a Muslim cemetery under Islamic rituals because the government still considered him Muslim. I remember one Moroccan Christian who died in Tangier. We had to do the impossible to get his body to Ceuta so he could receive a Christian funeral.

Imagine having to smuggle your religious identity across a border just to be buried according to your own faith.

We could not establish our own legal Moroccan churches. We could not get permission to build even one church for Moroccan converts. Our house churches were illegal gatherings. We lived at the mercy of the police. Any meeting could be raided. Any neighbor could report us.

Foreign Christians had churches.

Moroccan Christians had secrecy, whispers, living rooms, bathtubs, police interrogations, and fear.

And then Muslims lecture the West about “Islamophobia.”

Spare me.

SOMETHING IS HAPPENING TO THE FOOD WE EAT AND NIGERIA NEEDS TO START ASKING SERIOUS QUESTIONS

When was the last time you personally saw a major, sustained food-safety inspection in your local market?

I ask because Nigerians are beginning to notice changes in the food we buy, and instead of dismissing every observation as nostalgia, perhaps we should start asking questions.

Vegetables that people remember releasing deep-green pigments during washing or cooking sometimes don't behave the same way.

Some varieties of yam no longer cause the itching people traditionally associated with handling certain yams.

Potatoes don't always leave the same stains on the hands.

Some ginger sold today seems to have nowhere near the aroma or pungency people remember.

And then there is beans.

Ask older Nigerians how long beans used to take to cook, then compare it with some beans bought today. In certain cases, the difference can be remarkable.

But here is where we must separate legitimate concern from speculation.

None of these observations, by themselves, proves that chemicals are being added to our food. Crop variety, maturity, soil conditions, breeding, storage, transportation and post-harvest handling can significantly change colour, texture, aroma and cooking characteristics.

That is precisely why regulators should be investigating rather than leaving Nigerians to speculate.

NAFDAC's own mandate includes regulating food and chemicals, preventing substandard and unwholesome products from reaching consumers, and combating adulterated products. Its current strategic plan even sets a target of 800 surveillance operations annually.

So Nigerians deserve to see the evidence of that surveillance where food actually changes hands.

What pesticide residues are being detected in our vegetables?

What chemicals are traders using to preserve produce?

Are substances being used to accelerate ripening, soften food or extend shelf life?

Are beans being chemically treated anywhere along the supply chain?

How frequently are random samples of beans, yam, vegetables, ginger and other staples taken from Nigerian markets and subjected to laboratory analysis?

These are questions for NAFDAC, the Federal Ministry of Health, agricultural regulators, research institutes and state authorities.

And this isn't paranoia. Nigeria already has laws prohibiting counterfeit, adulterated and unwholesome processed foods, while NAFDAC's own food-safety framework requires controls against food-safety hazards.

We shouldn't have to wait until people start falling sick before asking what is entering our food chain.

If the food has changed because agriculture has changed, explain it.

If new varieties are responsible, tell us.

If storage practices are responsible, educate us.

And if dangerous chemicals are being used anywhere between the farm and our plates, FIND THEM.

Food safety should not be something Nigerians have to investigate with their noses, palms and cooking pots.

[Paul Adémújìmí @PaulAdemujimi]

We hear a lot about Kathryn Kuhlman and Maria Woodworth-Etter whom both I love, but there also was a black woman that God had his hands mightily upon named Elder Lucy! Her ministry makes my baby within go crazy!
Lucy Turner Smith, also known as Elder Lucy Smith, was the first black woman to build and pastor a megachurch in Chicago, which was named All Nations Pentecostal Church. She saw an estimated “200,000” miracles and healings in her ministry.

The greatest encouragement from Elder Lucy Smith was “just be yourself.” She was known to have little regard for grammar, and she never tried to be oratorical. She would at times calmly talk and move around as she preached or ministered, but when she prayed for the sick, all manners of sickness and disease would be healed. What she lacked in man’s eyes, God’s power greatly compensated!

Lucy was born on January 14, 1875 in Woodstock, Georgia, and birth named: Lucinda Madden. She was born in a “little one-room log cabin” where she and 5 siblings were raised solely by their mother. She gave her life to the Lord at the age of 12 and began school for the first time in her life at the age of 13. She went on to marry and have nine children, but she was abandoned by her husband and decided to move to Chicago in 1910.

After being in the city a couple of years, Elder Lucy joined a predominantly white Pentecostal church called Stone Church. It was known for its incredible healing services. The most well-known divine healing ministers of the time regularly ministered there: William Seymour, Smith Wiggelsworth, John G. Lake, Maria Woodworth Etter. It was in this atmosphere of miracles where she received her personal calling into the divine healing ministry.

Lucy began a “one-room prayer meeting” in her own house with only two people. The meeting grew quickly as many were being healed and baptized with The Holy Ghost. Three years later they moved out to a larger facility. After 10 years, in 1926, she built a $65,000 church (equivalent to one million dollars today) and by the 1930s, had nearly 5,000 members. She said that the healing services were the reason for such growth.

The healing services at All Nation Pentecostal Church were phenomenal. Elder Lucy Smith would hold healing services three times a week. The deaf, the blind, the crippled, the lame, stroke victims, and those with goiters and cancers were healed weekly. The basement of the church was “decorated” with the crutches and canes of many who had been healed. Lucy traveled across the state of Illinois and abroad, taking God’s healing power and seeing several hundreds healed and saved. She was popular with people of all classes and color who would come from near and far.

God spoke to Lucy and told her to broadcast the services over the radio. This broadcast became known as “The Glorious Church of the Air” radio program in 1933. It was the first LIVE service to ever be broadcast from a black church. It would often result in letters coming in from all over the country, telling how people had been healed as she prayed. The radio program also helped fund the tremendous charity work the church did. They fed thousands of people during the Great Depression and provided food and clothing to black families in the city.

Lucy Smith is a primary example of what tremendous exploits God can do with a simple yielded vessel. She didn’t try to be more than she was. She simply knew what she was called to, and she stuck to it. Lucy died on June 18th, 1952 and over 60,000 people came to show their respects. It was the largest funeral in Chicago history.

[Paul Adémújìmí @PaulAdemujimi]

It reveals the fundamental flaws in the African Gospel.

The African Gospel is shaped after our innate traditional belief system of making it in life, and protection from evil and unseen forces, this is the entire theme of our belief system.

Before the advent of the gospel in Southwest Nigeria, we had Babalawos sited in one location in a village, people would go to him to know their future, how to make it in life and collect charms for protection from unseen evil forces.

I heard from an elder that in most towns and villages 60-80 years ago, you dare not celebrate anything, the celebrant will die mysteriously the following day(s).

We adapted that into the gospel.
The reason why most people come to church on Sunday or any day is because of problems. I did this experiment myself.
People want to make it in life and be protected from evils and unseen forces chasing after them, remove that concept, prayer makes no sense to them. In fact, the entire Gospel makes no sense to them outside of their needs for life.

In fact, it is the reason people are serving in church workforce. They are serving because no one works for God and their lives remain the same.
They are in constant fear of if I don’t do this, God will not attend to my matter.

It is the reason people give to God. You will be shocked to see that most believers cannot give to God without being coerced or manipulated to give.
Our psyche is wired for transactional way of life.

Christians in Africa have not mastered the art of free will without being forced, coerced or manipulated. This is so innate. We’ve developed the tendency to be governed or led by fear, coercion, manipulation and division. Personally, this is such a troubling situation. Quite worried. An average African Christian cannot do something well by their own, out of free will except being coerced or forced. We outsource everything.

Our churches are built around this,
Our worship style, songs
Our preaching
Our giving
Our works for God
Our prayers.
It must be coerced, therefore transactional.

So, it’s all about I want to make it in life, protection from evil forces.
People rarely understand the concept of fellowship with the Lord and enjoying His Presence.
The new trend is that for you to make it in life, you have to know God and fellowship with Him. That’s the new form of coercion.

In fact, you see that guy in the video, to get him to pray again, pastors will have to tell Him that there are evil forces and battles to fight in America too. What did I say about coercion again?

Nothing about loving God, knowing God, becoming Christ and manifesting Christ and win souls. The entire Gospel is just this concept. And all our works including giving are tied to this last paragraph.

[Gbenga Samuel-Wemimo @GbengaWemimo]

Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret (1 CORINTHIANS 14:13)

The Bible says Jesus Christ is the embodiment of all knowledge and wisdom (Colossians 2:3); and you're complete in Him (Colossians 2:10). This is what makes it possible for you to know anything through the Holy Spirit. I admonish God's people to speak in tongues all the time, because it's the coded language of the Spirit! It's the quickest way to activate and condition your spirit to receive spiritual information and guidance.
Join Our Prayer Network: -

Perhaps you require guidance for something, or there's a piece of information you need; speak in tongues. Go on until you know you've got the guidance or counsel you need, or the information you require. The answer may be given to you in your spirit, in other tongues. In that case, you'll require the gift of interpretation of tongues. This is important because if you can't interpret the answer in your understanding, you may not be able to apply it to your benefit. In that case, you'd have to ask the Holy Spirit to help you bring the message to your understanding in prophetic utterance.

If you thought you were blessed speaking in tongues, wait until you receive the interpretation! The Bible says, "Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret" (1 Corinthians 14:13); it's that simple! Ask the Lord in faith for the interpretation of the tongues you're speaking, receive the interpretation by faith, and speak it forth in your understanding.

Why is it so important to pray in tongues first before you pray in the language you understand?
Your speaking in tongues is to first to get your spirit to say the right things to God. Because if you speak in tongues, the spirit of God will bring forth the wisdom of God for you to say the prayer that you are going to say in the right way, with the right inspiration.

“Tongues is the language of heaven. It is downloaded in your spirit at the reception of the Holy Ghost. That language, when used, will change the world and change you because it is accompanied by the fire of God and is a carrier of the very essence and nature of God to any and every situation. The language of the Spirit is very personalized and individualized, marking each person with heaven’s label and tag.”
“There is much more to comprehend and understand about this gift, much more revelation to be had. As the Apostle Paul wrote, I would not have you be ignorant.”
“The more that you understand about speaking in tongues, the more you will give way to it and yield to it, growing exponentially. Speaking in other tongues is a sign to arrest, attract, and to indicate the presence of God is here. Your language is the gateway and the door to the supernatural for you. The Holy Ghost will bring the full expression of heaven through the believer.”

I was shocked when the Lord said He wouldn’t have me be ignorant. I’d been praying in tongues for decades. I certainly hadn’t thought I was ignorant about it. But the Lord said I was, so I just agreed and admitted it: I’m ignorant and need to learn!

One thing I’ve learned more about since then is the interpretation of tongues. I used to think of it just as what we do in church services—where one person gives a tongue and then somebody gives the interpretation. But I’ve come to realize it’s much bigger than that. First Corinthians 12:13 says every one of us when we pray in other tongues should “pray [for the power] to interpret.”

That means if you don’t expect to interpret when you pray in other tongues, you’ve only accomplished half your mission. You haven’t finished praying!

This is why you don’t want to do “machine gun” praying. You want to remember that you’re talking to a Person. When I talk to a friend, I don’t just talk on and on, without giving him or her any entrance. I pause and give her a chance to speak because I know she’ll have something to say.

Sometimes in prayer, we forget to do that.

We talk to the Lord nonstop, unaware that all the while He’s trying to wave us down. He’s like, “Wait! Hey! I’m trying to get the interpretation to you but you’re not listening.”

I don’t want to miss what the Lord has to say when I’m praying in other tongues. So, after I talk to Him for a bit, I like to get quiet. Then, I’ll go on and talk to Him some more. (He loves that!)

The Holy Spirit always has something He wants to get across to us. It may not come in an organized form, as interpretation comes in a church service. It may seem to come to us in pieces. But if we keep praying and believing for interpretation, the puzzle will eventually come together.

Sometimes, when you get over into the realm of the spirit, the interpretation of what you’re praying about in tongues may come to you in the form of pictures. Or maybe you’ll hear something with your spiritual ears or perceive something with another of your spiritual senses. The Lord works with me this way a lot.

I remember a few years ago, for instance, while praying in other tongues, I kept seeing one particular man.

Looking at him with the eyes of my spirit, it seemed to me he was trapped in a box or prison of some kind. I felt his confinement and heard what sounded like screams of torture. It was most alarming. But I continued to pray for him, and as I did, I heard myself calling out his name.

I didn’t know exactly what his situation was. I didn’t associate it with a war because there was no war going on at the time. Six months later, however, the war against Boko Haram started, and the Nigerian government sent soldiers over there to fight. One morning, I saw on the news that a plane had gone down in the desert. One of the soldiers on it had been captured and taken prisoner.

The soldier’s name was the same name I had called out in the place of prayer. When they showed his picture, I thought, Yes, that’s him! I knew immediately he’d make it home just fine, and he did.

In addition, I found out after the war was over that when his plane went down, he’d buried his wallet in the desert to keep the enemy from finding out about his family. Two years later, someone found it and returned it to him in perfect condition with everything still in it. That showed me that if we are obedient to pray and complete our assignment, the Holy Spirit can take care of things down to the smallest detail!

I’ve also found that when praying in tongues with a group, as we do in PSSBC classes for an hour every night or during the firebrand prayers of six hours every Thursday or the Healing school prayers every Monday for one hour, if I believe for interpretation, although I may not get it, somebody else in the group will.

I experience this several times in the place of prayer.

During our Abuja Gathering of 2023, I noticed a man at the back of the church sitting next to the door. He sat through the entire service and didn’t respond to any of the promptings to stand up, lift up his hands, or even pray with the congregation! The service ended, and we all left
The next day, we were back for The Flight, another service, and this man was back. Again, he just sat there, and I noticed that he didn’t respond to any of the instructions given to the congregation. When we started praying, he sat up. Looking startled, he suddenly grabbed his phone and began to type.

He left the meeting that night without saying anything to me. But the next night, he came back. When the meeting was over, he introduced himself to me.

“I’m with the Army Intelligence, and I was given a mission over the Islamic terrorism division,” he said. “We’ve known for a long time that there’s a jihadist training camp somewhere in the desert, but we’ve been unable to find it. As you prayed in tongues, you called out the name of the camp, over and over. Then you prayed out its exact location.”

This has since happened several times during our prophetic services every Wednesday. Secrets are revealed in such dimensions that one can only be shocked. Kidnappers’ den, terrorist cells, house maids who poisoned the food of their masters, plots against people at work, ambushments and so on.

I’d had no idea what I was saying in tongues that night. But he did!

What’s more, he told me that the reason he’d been made head of his team in Army Intelligence was that he spoke Pulaar and Hausa. (He’d learned it as a child when his parents were missionaries in Sokoto and other West African regions) “How you identified the camp’s location was a special sign to me,” he said, “because you spoke it out in Pulaar.”

The Lord wants to do more such things right now as we pray in other tongues. So, press in by faith more than ever for interpretation. Expect it and let Him lift you from where you are now to ever higher places in Him!

[Gbenga Samuel-Wemimo @GbengaWemimo]

Appropriating Healing In Christ

The Christian is one with the God-life, a life that doesn’t require healing because it doesn’t get sick. Why are many sick then? Ignorance! God said, “My people are destroyed for their lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).

The Bible says, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal (death-doomed) bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth
in you” (Romans 8:11). The Holy Spirit, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you and has vitalized your mortal body. That means your body isn’t deathdoomed or sickness prone anymore. Hallelujah!

God’s people must know, live, and spread the truth. When you become a Christian and you receive the Holy Spirit, you should NEVER be sick again in your life. What you need is the consciousness of the divine life in you and the fact that the Holy Spirit perambulates in you to ward off every anomaly, and keep you in health.

Healing is not a mystery; it is the work of God made manifest through faith.

1. Believe that Jesus is your healer
Faith is the foundation of healing. Healing begins the moment you believe that Jesus already paid the price for your health. The Word declares, “By His stripes, we were healed.” Faith in Christ’s finished work is the key that opens the door to your miracle.

2. Recognize the presence of God
When Chris Oyakhilome ministers during the Healing Streams, he often says, “Now you are in the presence of God, and in His presence all things are possible.” Recognize that God is with you where you are. His presence carries power. As you listen, pray, or watch, the Spirit of God is right there, ready to touch you.

3. Act on your faith
Faith without action is incomplete. Do what you could not do before. Move that leg, lift that hand, or take that step. Acting in faith releases the power of God already at work in you.

4. Use the Word of God as your medicine
The Word is living and active. It brings health to your body and peace to your mind. Speak healing scriptures daily, declare that you are whole. The Word builds your spirit until healing becomes your reality.

5. Put your hand where you need a miracle
Place a hand on the part of their body that needs healing. This simple act is a point of contact—a physical expression of your faith. If you are praying for a loved one, lay hands on them as a symbol of agreement in faith.

6. Pray with confidence in the name of Jesus
Pray boldly, saying, “I come against sickness, disease, and infirmity in the name of Jesus Christ.” That same authority is available to every believer. When you pray, speak the name of Jesus with conviction, knowing that all power in Heaven and earth belongs to Him.

7. Refuse fear and doubt
Fear weakens faith, but faith conquers fear. Believers must reject negative thoughts and keep their minds fixed on the Word. When doubt tries to whisper that your case is impossible, declare instead: “This is my moment. I receive my miracle now.”

8. Receive the power of the Holy Ghost
The Holy Spirit is the power behind every healing miracle.
“The power of the Holy Ghost is working in your behalf right now.” Open your heart and receive that power. The Holy Spirit can heal bones, cleanse the blood, restore hearing, and bring new life to every cell in your body.

9. Praise and thank God
When you receive healing, thank God immediately. Praise is the voice of faith. Even before you see the full manifestation, rejoice and give glory to God.
Your thanksgiving seals your miracle. Gratitude keeps your heart aligned with faith.

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God (2 Corinthians 3:5).

The Spirit of God can bestow on you supernatural ability, and then suddenly, you’ll discover there’re certain things you’re able to do; you’ll supernaturally exhibit talents, skills, or proficiencies in areas you never knew you could.
We’ve received such testimonies about certain people who were never formally schooled, but somehow, by the supernatural ability of the Spirit, they picked up the Bible and could read and understand it. Some others found themselves functioning with extraordinary wisdom of the Spirit in ability, understanding, intelligence, knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship, to devise skilful and artistic works. Someone may ask, “How’s that possible?” It’s by the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

You know, so much happens when we minister the Word of God; so much is transferred and imparted through the power of God’s Spirit. In Christ, we do have the ability to cause something supernatural to happen for others. In Luke 5, Peter had toiled in vain, trying to catch some fish. But Jesus told him, “…Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught” (Luke 5:4). Simon, who was a professional fisherman, answering him, said, “…Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net” (Luke 5:5). He and his colleagues caught such a great multitude of fishes, so much so that their net began to tear (Luke 5:6).

Even now, the Spirit of God is ministering special abilities into your life; you can receive now! The Bible says, “He giveth more grace…” (James 4:6).

There’ ae certain things you’d find that from today, you’re able to do, which hitherto, you weren’t able to do; the ability has been granted to you supernaturally, by the Spirit of God. That ability will cause you to prosper in your job, business, academics— in all areas of your life, in the Name of Jesus!

I know we say Peter Obi is not the “Messiah,” but he may, in effect, become one.

Guys, my desire to see Peter Obi as the leader of Nigeria is not primarily economic or security related.

It is first moral. We need a moral revolution in this nation.

With Peter as our representative:

We will no longer exalt those who become massively successful through wrongdoing.

This is why people praise figures like Hushpuppi and Tinubu as a “master strategist.”

We have become fascinated by those who achieve monumental success through corrupt means.

With Peter as our representative:

We will no longer define political power by how distant we are from it.

That is the current dynamic of our political system.

Our politicians relegate us while exalting themselves. They make us destitute. They have:

Cars we can never afford.
Jets we may never see.
Yachts we will never cruise.
Houses we will never live in.
Money we will never dream.

They create such a wide gap that their lifestyle becomes a fantasy that keeps us spellbound by their grandeur.

They distract us with dreams of a life we may never have while draining your future to fund their luxury.

With Peter as our representative:

Incompetence from elected leaders will no longer be tolerated.

For the past 15 years of APC, we have expected the barest minimum from leaders.

When they fail, we excuse it by saying nothing more could have been done.

Buhari presided over the failure of a generation of over 200 million people, and all we got was an apology.

Peter Obi will bring a system of strict adherence to responsibility, duty, and accountability.

You will a valid reason to your President, one who may not take a salary or maintain a bloated convoy, why N1.5 billion is requested to build a national website.

You better have explanations for why more than 40% of federal revenue cannot be accounted for.

Large corporations will be compelled to justify exploitative practices against Nigerians.

MTN will be scared to hurt you.
The banks will be scared to debit you.

You will have a nation that fights for you because its leader’s hands will be clean.

That image of righteousness will follow you everywhere.

International clients will no longer backlist you as a remote worker simply because you have a Nigerian passport.

Lastly, with Peter as our representative:

Our society will offer better role models to its youth.

Young girls will not look up to empty lifestyles defined by BBLs, artificial breasts, and superficial values.

Education, intellect, and industry will be promoted among Nigerian women, and figures like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala will once again inspire young girls.

Adeola in a public school in Abeokuta will do all her best to become a math and literature champion;

instead of worrying about the shortest and tightest gown that can make her bottom jiggle the best on TikTok.

Young boys will not idolize figures like the fraudsters that your A-list celebrities constantly praise in their artless and soulless songs.

Being a Yahoo boy or a hookup girl will naturally become taboo.

Real talent, hard work, and vision will define our youth.

Corruption will no longer be the modus operandi of the civil service.

No airport official will extort you. This moral transformation will change everything in this country.

From the economy to security, education to healthcare, the Nigeria you knew 21 years ago will re-emerge, stronger and brighter.

This is why I hope and pray Peter Obi becomes our president.

No nation survives with the level of moral decadence we currently have in Nigeria.

None. Not one.

As the Bible says:

“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” — Proverbs 14:34

So yes, Peter Obi may not be the “Messiah,” but he will have a similar transformative effect on this nation.

So, to the Supreme Judge of the universe, we pray this comes to pass, let your hand help and guide Peter Gregory Obi.

Amen.

Bro, when I was Muslim, I used to think I was so holy by washing my feet before prayer.

Islam said, clean yourself before you can stand before God. You do the work. Miss a spot? Do it again. Get dirty? Start over. Scrubbing your record, hoping maybe you’re worthy.

Then I met Jesus.

John 13. The Son of God, robe off, towel in hand, kneeling down to wash His disciples’ feet… right before the cross.

In Wudu, I was at the sink trying to prove I was clean enough for God.

In Jesus, God is on His knees saying, “Let me make you clean.”

Do you understand how wild that is?

This isn’t a servant trying to impress the king.

This is the King becoming the servant, stepping into the mess, the dirt, the shame, and taking it all to the cross.

That’s the difference.

Religion says: fix yourself so God will have you.
Jesus says: I’ll fix you so you can have me.

One is earning.
One is receiving.
One ends in exhaustion.
One ends in freedom.

I used to wash my feet before I prayed.

Now the One I pray to has already made me clean.

Saturday 1pm:

I have this Muslim auntie, and she’s really devout.

Not just culturally, personally. She has a long history of answered prayers. Real things she asked for, and they happened.

I used to wrestle with that.

How do I say Jesus is the only way when her prayer life feels so real—like it saved her from mental hell? If you try to argue with that, you will lose.

Because to her, it’s not a theory. It’s history.

And here’s what most people miss: You can’t tear down someone’s belief system and leave them homeless. You have to show them the home in Christ.

A lot of apologetics today just demolish. Win the argument, lose the soul.

But here’s the truth: Those answered prayers… a lot of them were Jesus.
The character of Jesus.
The mercy of Jesus.
The Holy Spirit moves based on heart posture, not perfect wording.

A sincere heart still matters to a Father who is chasing His kids. That doesn’t make Islam true. It shows how merciful Jesus is.

So yes, expose the cracks. But build Christ louder. Preach the person, not just the proof.

Because my auntie doesn’t need another argument. She needs a revelation.

And Jesus will meet her, even in the middle of praying to someone else. When I prayed to Allah, Jesus was the one who answered me. And I knew it, because I knew His Word, His story, His character.

Ministering With The Spirit

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also (1 Corinthians 14:15).

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever (John 14:16).

The Holy Spirit is an extraordinary gift to us, God’s children (Acts 2:38). He, in the parlance of computer science, is like the “downloader.” It takes the Holy Spirit to “download” heavenly files and bring heavenly materiality into the human system.

He alone, for example, can help you accept the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, His sacrificial death, triumphant resurrection, and His glorious ascension into heaven. Only the Holy Spirit can convince you that the blood of Jesus Christ was adequate for the salvation of humanity. So when you find that you can understand and accept these spiritual realities, it means the Holy Spirit has unveiled them to you; He’s working in your life.

When Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do men say I am?” only Peter spoke rightly, and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16). The Master’s response to Peter was, “…Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 16:17). Peter wasn’t guessing; he certainly didn’t know this in his head; the knowledge of who Jesus is was imparted to him by the Holy Spirit. There are no human parameters that can help you comprehend spiritual realities.

Even in preaching and ministering salvation to others, you must understand that the Gospel that we’ve been given and charged to take to the nations of the world is a Gospel that can’t be humanly explained and accepted. Consequently, we need the Holy Spirit to minister through us and to help bring the understanding of the message to those to whom we minister. His help is inevitable in everything we do.

Never find yourself doing anything or building anything by your own natural strength or human wisdom; It will fail. Psalm 127:1 says, “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it….”

Perhaps you’re a minister of the Gospel, don’t try to build the Church by your own strength; don’t rely on your natural abilities, for that alone won’t work. Depend on the Holy Spirit. Take advantage of His glorious ministry in your life. He’s in you to help you live the triumphant Christian life and be successful in all that you do, to the glory of the Father. He’s your indispensable Helper!

God is a Spirit, and to relate with Him, you’ve got to do so from your spirit.

The Bible says that those who worship God must worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23).

You know, sometimes, we tell people, “relate to God from your spirit,” and they don’t know what to do. They wonder, “Do I raise my hands?” “Do I leap?” “Do I just stay still?” Paul said, “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful” (1 Corinthians 14:14). So when you pray in tongues, it’s your spirit that’s praying; you’re communing or relating with the Lord, as it were, from your spirit.

Praying from your spirit or with your spirit lights up and opens up your spirit to hear and receive from God. Notice what we read in our opening scripture: “What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also.” He didn’t say “I will pray with the understanding, and I will pray with the spirit also.”

Praying with the spirit takes the preeminence. One reason a lot of God’s people aren’t growing spiritually as they should is that they pray more with their understanding – from their natural minds – than they pray with the spirit. You can’t grow effectively as a Christian that way.

The Bible says, “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost” (Jude 1:20). Praying with the spirit, or praying by the power of the Holy Spirit, is more important than all the most intelligent words you could ever utter to God in your understanding. That’s why it’s so important that you learn to pray lavishly and fervently with the spirit, in other tongues.

This is the kind of praying that improves you; it causes you to be built up from within like an edifice and gets you charged with divine firepower. Paul said, “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all” (1 Corinthians 14:18). That lets you know the premium he placed on praying with the spirit. Little wonder, therefore, that he recorded such phenomenal successes and victories both in his personal life and ministry to others.

Sometimes, there are those who wonder what the Spirit meant when He said through the Apostle Paul, “Praying always WITH ALL PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION in the Spirit.” But it’s very clear.

Another translation says, “…With every kind of prayer.” He’s saying to you, “I want you to pray with the spirit in every kind of prayer.” In other words, there’re different kinds of prayer. Now, whether it’s a prayer of faith, a prayer of thanksgiving, a prayer of intercession, a prayer of agreement, the prayer of dedication or consecration or prophetic prayer, you’re to add to it, praying in the spirit.

Praying in the spirit is one kind of prayer, but he’s telling us that with all the different kinds of prayer, we should pray in the spirit. Don’t say, “I’m not praying in the spirit today, because I’m praying a prayer of intercession.” We can’t leave out the spirit when it comes to prayers; we must pray in other tongues. That’s what praying in the spirit is; it means that the prayer is coming from the inspiration of your spirit, uttered in other tongues.

For instance, when you want to pray the prayer of faith, you may start by speaking in tongues before going ahead to release those declarations of faith. It’s like saying to you, “With every food, take water, meaning whether you’re eating a protein meal or vegetables, irrespective of the type of food, drink water along with it.

The Apostle Paul, while communicating this truth to the Corinthian Church, said, “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also” (1 Corinthians 14:14-15).

Take this seriously. Pray always in the spirit, and your life will be so upgraded to enjoy ever-increasing glory. You’ll be vibrant and exuberant with praise at all times; more effective in your Christian walk, and circumstances will be under your feet. Hallelujah!

When we speak in tongues, we do so by faith. We open our mouths, and the Holy Spirit gives us utterance. Here, your spirit is praying in tongues. The Bible says, “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful” (1 Corinthians 14:14). So, it’s your spirit that prays in tongues, even though the utterance is granted to your spirit by the Holy Spirit. But there’s another one that’s a higher level of prayer.

That’s what is written for us in Romans 8:26, which we read as our opening scripture. The underlined phrase “… the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities…” tells us how the Spirit helps and takes hold together with us in our weakness. He props you up and helps you pray in line with the perfect will of God, especially when you face dire situations and are at your wits’ end. He takes over and helps you pray correctly.

The AMPC puts it beautifully. It says, “So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.” At this higher level of prayer, the Holy Spirit Himself has taken over, making intercessions with groanings and deep sighs according to the will of God.

You may find yourself crying uncontrollably, but not out of pain; keep at it and don’t be troubled. It’s the Holy Spirit praying through you. This is the most effective kind of prayer, and it’s the Spirit’s joy to make it happen for you.
So, each time you pray, yield yourself to the Holy Spirit to pray through you, and you’ll be amazed at the impact and the tremendous results in your life and circumstances.

Jesus was so bad at starting a religion. He didn’t write a book, did not give his group a fancy name or any name at all, rather, he made friends with twelve ordinary everyday folks.

Attended weddings, visited people in their houses, showed up in the synagogue, used the same energy to speak with the lone Samaritan woman at the well as he would have done with thousands of people.

A Messiah with no Messiah complex. What a man! What a God!
