In 2023, I was stranded in Oshodi while coming back from an interview. No cash, no money in the account. Phone at 4%. Rain was beating me black and blue with no hideout.
I posted: “Please, is anybody around Oshodi? My phone is about to go off and I’m stuck at Arena Junction. I need 2k for transport to get back home. I’ll pay back tomorrow. No jokes please.”
I tagged three of my closest friends, people that called me “sister” on birthdays.
First reply was laughing emojis. “LMAO, you don finally cast.”
Second reply: “Omo, trek am, exercise.”
Third person saw it and posted a meme two minutes later.
My phone died. I sat on a bench laid across the walkway, soaked, watching Lagos run past me, thinking this is how it ends for two thousand naira.
After a few minutes, a car parked close to where I was. The car windows rolled down and a voice asked, “Are you Ireoluwa?” I nodded. “One guy say make I carry you go Abule Egba. E don pay.”
I got in without thinking twice.
Halfway, my phone buzzed on the driver’s power bank. A DM from a stranger I never followed:
“Hey there, I saw your post. I really don’t know you but I know that feeling. Bolt is paid to your street. Get home safe. No need to pay back. Just help someone else one day when you can.”
I got home and checked his page. He’d been job hunting for three months and was probably broke. But he sent me a ride and some money. Now we are good friends even though we have still never met.
My friends with jobs posted me for cruise.
A stranger with nothing posted me for life.
That night I learned friendship doesn’t define family. Sometimes your lifeline is the person you’ve never met.
Ahh, interesting. In Islam you get different rewards depending on the mosque or location you pray from?
See Jesus’ response when asked about locations for prayers:
“From now on, worshiping the Father will not be a matter of the right place but with a right heart. For God is a Spirit, and he longs to have sincere worshipers who adore him in the realm of the Spirit and in truth.”
John 4:23-24 TPT
17-year-old Avery Inman’s brain tumor disappeared after prayers were lifted in faith in the name of Jesus.
This is a reminder that God is not distant—He is actively working in the lives of His children. He hears every prayer, responds to faith, and moves with power.
He is still a Healer, and He desires freedom and restoration for His children.

You listen to Theophilus Sunday and you feel like praying more.
You listen to Cardi B and you feel like being sexually liberal with your body.
You listen to Quavo and you feel like living sexually liberal.
You’ve just listened to three different priests.
They all have different altars. And they are evangelists for different spirits.
The first singer sings the nature of the Spirit that rules his life onto you.
So you feel like knowing Him more by praying.
The second and third ones sing the nature of the spirit of Babylon to you.
So you feel like being like it through sexual immorality.
The songs you listen to would make the doctrine of the spirit that sponsors them become richer in you.
This was why we Paul asked the Ephesians to let the word of God dwell richly in themselves through singing of hymns and psalms.
Which songs are you listening to? What is it doing to your spirit?
Stop songs that are not of God today. Feel yourselves with songs of the Spirit.

My guy broke up with his babe sometime last year.
The girl seemed cool and I wasn't aware of any problems that justified a breakup. I asked him why and he said he would tell me later.
After a few weeks, he got a new babe. He randomly called me yesterday and we got talking.
Apparently, a few months after he started dating his ex, he invested some money in a business and his business partners connived with one another to steal money from him.
This affected his ability to supply the goods he had been paid to deliver and his customers started threatening to arrest him. They gave him a week's ultimatum and he started running around, taking loans and doing everything he could to either deliver or pay the money back.
He told me that every night when he got home tired and worried, he would explain to his girlfriend on the phone what he went through the whole day to get money, but he never asked or expected her to support him financially because she didn't have any money of her own.
Before the end of the ultimatum, he was able to source the money after borrowing from family and friends and he settled the issue with his customers.
After he told his girlfriend this, she asked him for some money to sort her personal stuff, even though she knew he was in debt and his business was in trouble.
He said he lost all attraction for her and knew he couldn't marry her. He broke up with her two months later even though he actually loved her.
He then told me about his new babe. He said he had promised to buy her some stuff but he didn't make as much profit as he anticipated.
When he told her and expected the kind of reaction he would have gotten from his ex, this babe told him that he shouldn't worry about it and that he could buy those things when he had money.
She also came to his place to cook and told him that the cost of cooking from yesterday till Sunday was on her. She said she just wanted to ease his burden.
He told me that he had never met a girl like her and was quite emotional on the call.
That random call was to tell me that he had found his wife.
I swear I’m not making this up.
One day we wanted to cook but there was no money to buy fish or meat. Mum gathered us together and we prayed. We said a short prayer, and about an hour later it rained and we caught 3 fishes right in front of our house.
Another time, we only had garri at home. After drinking garri in the morning and afternoon, nobody wanted it again for dinner. So mum made eba, put it inside a cooler, and said the Lord will provide soup. Around 8pm, a woman in the neighbourhood brought vegetable soup and said she felt led in her spirit to bring it for us. Another answered prayer.
Me, I’ve seen God’s power for myself and I know miracles are real.
