Lord told me to go to the students and declare His holiness to them.
Next month, on July 25th, Saturday, UNILAG, I am inviting your for this prayer, word, impartation meeting.
The Power for Holiness exists in God. You don't need to be struggling with anything. Join us!

I have something to share this morning. The Lord gave me some wisdom around midnight while I prayed today.
I believe this will help someone, as the Lord moved me to share it.
So, I started praying around 12:19 a.m. Less than five minutes in, the Lord said in my spirit:
"I deserve more, you know. More of your time, energy, and strength."
This statement would set the thesis of the entire prayer and all He would tell me subsequently.
Around twenty-nine minutes in, He started talking about sacrifices.
Right now, one of the costliest sacrifices anyone can offer the Lord is time.
There is almost nothing more valuable today than time—nothing people cherish more.
In this current world, everything calls for our time, from social media to entertainment.
We give our time to many things and many people, except God.
So, He said that those who would grow in rank in Him would be those who can and will give Him their time.
As I continued praying, more insights came to my spirit.
I realized that rank in God is not determined by age but by sacrifice.
Those who are favored in the sight of God are those who will leave all for Him.
No wonder God commended Abraham after he willingly offered up his only son.
So, I came to some conclusions in that prayer yesterday.
I decided to increase the number of chapters I read each day.
I have added more time to my prayer life. I also made more commitments to God that I won't share here.
But I want you to invest your time in God.
Give Him the next twenty years of your life. It doesn't matter your age.
Please, do.
Prioritize God above everything else through your time.
This is my message to you.
Also, don't make it transactional. Don't expect anything material in return.
Do it simply for the reward of knowing the Lord more.
I wish to see you in twenty years, saying that this tweet changed your walk with God.
God bless you. Amen.
PS: If you are seeking to know God more, I will be holding a meeting titled Power for Holiness this month.
Saturday, July 25
LAMP Studio, Commercial Road, UNILAG
12:00 noon
The power to stay with God in holiness will be present.
You can register below this tweet if you would love to come.
Amen.
Some of you might be in a season where the future feels foggy, maybe even frightening or unknown.
In Jeremiah 29:11, it says, "For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
This verse isn't a promise that everything will go the way you planned; it's a promise that God hasn't lost sight of you.
If you're waiting, wondering, or wrestling, we hope you are reminded today that God is still writing your story.
MORE AFTER MORE
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. - (Luke 1:53)
READ: Philippians 3:5-14
In today's Bible reading, Paul recounted some of his great achievements. He stated that he was of the stock of Israel, a descendant of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, circumcised on the eighth day, and a Pharisee. After listing his achievements and attributes, he went on to say that he counted them all as loss and dung for Christ.
Paul was clearly one of the most knowledgeable apostles in the Bible. He was a lawyer and a Pharisee who had studied under a renowned teacher, Gamaliel (Acts 22:3). For comparison, we can say that he attended the best university and studied under the most distinguished professor there. He had everything to boast of in terms of knowledge. However, when he gave his life to Jesus, he laid all his accomplishments at the Master's feet and allowed the Lord to use them for the advancement of His Kingdom. He humbled himself and submitted to Ananias, a disciple of Christ in Damascus and went on missionary trips with Barnabas, a Levite. Paul didn't allow his past achievements to stop him from pursuing the Lord wholeheartedly.
The secret to Paul's achievements in his walk with God can be found in Philippians 3:13:
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Paul was always ready to learn more. He never allowed what he had learnt previously to rob him of the things that God wanted to show and teach him. This must be your disposition if you want to walk closely with God and achieve great things in His kingdom. Lamentations 3:23 says that God's mercies are new every morning. If you keep holding on to yesterday's mercies, how will you be able to receive today's portion? There is always more beyond what you have, and God can always give you more than what you have received from Him already. However, it is only as you humble yourself to receive from the Lord that you can get more from Him. One of the greatest enemies of growth is an 'arrival' mentality. The moment people think that they have 'arrived' (gotten to the peak of success), they stop growing immediately.
Beloved, ask God to help you cultivate a heart that is ever hungry for Him and that constantly seeks to achieve greater exploits in His Kingdom. He will supply you with His grace in abundance so that you will keep soaring in Him.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please give me a deep hunger to seek You more.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Proverbs 8-11
Open Heaven Devotional by Pastor E A Adeboye
Daphne Sheldrick refused to accept that orphaned baby elephants were destined to die.
For decades, conservationists around the world struggled to keep orphaned elephant calves alive after they lost their mothers. Every milk formula failed, and the fragile calves rarely survived.
After years of relentless trial and error, Daphne finally achieved a breakthrough in 1974. The missing piece was coconut oil, which helped create a milk formula that orphaned elephants could digest and thrive on.
That discovery changed wildlife conservation forever.
With her pioneering formula, hundreds of orphaned elephants were rescued, raised, and eventually returned to the wild. Many of those elephants later had calves of their own, creating entirely new generations that would never have existed without her determination.
One woman's refusal to give up transformed heartbreak into hope, proving that persistence can save not just one life, but generations yet to come.
She has a Private equity firm and this is what her private equity firm does.
Her company buy companies that are not publicly traded on the stock market, improve them, and later sell them for a profit.
Here's a simple example:
Imagine a bakery is worth ₦10 million, but it is poorly managed.
A private equity firm buys the bakery.
They hire better managers, expand to more locations, reduce unnecessary costs, and increase profits.
Five years later, the bakery is worth ₦50 million.
The firm sells it and makes a profit.
Think of it like this:
Private equity is like buying an old house, renovating it to make it more valuable, and then selling it at a higher price.
The difference is that instead of houses, private equity firms buy and improve businesses.
The video with @schoolofhardknocks is out and it’s gone viral. None of it was planned. I invited James to the Aruwa office to meet him and learn how he’s built his business. We took a picture, he left but then: he came back and wanted to film. Tomorrow morning.
Here is my honest advice:
Do not consider GT roles alone this is the first thing I want you to hear. A lot of people make the mistake of fixating on one path and missing better opportunities that were right in front of them.
Expand your targets immediately Big 4 firms (KPMG, Deloitte, PwC, EY) are always looking for ICAN qualified people. Fintech companies like Moniepoint, Kuda, Flutterwave and Paystack also pay very well and value your profile strongly. Mid size accounting and audit firms are also great entry points that can build your experience fast.
Data analysis is your edge most accountants at your level cannot do what you are learning. Push that angle hard. If you are not on Power BI or SQL yet, start now. It will make you stand out immediately.
On the income anxiety it is valid and very normal. Give yourself a realistic 3 to 5 month window after NYSC and stay consistent. Desperation shows in interviews so stay confident in what you carry.
You are closer than you think. Stay focused.”
