I HAVE A FEAR
For I fear we are in an hour where men labor much, but their works are written in Heaven as iniquity.
The Lord Himself warned us:
“Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name? and in Your name cast out demons? and in Your name do many mighty works? Then will I say to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.” (Matthew 7:22–23).
This is not a warning for pagans. It is for preachers. For men who used His Name. For men who worked in His House. And yet, at the end, they discover their ministry was rebellion dressed as labor.
Oh, how this should make us tremble.
Our generation has perfected the art of ministry without the Spirit.
We know how to brand our works.
We know how to organize our meetings.
We know how to trend our messages.
We know how to gather men, but we do not know God.
We have learned how to build platforms.
How to attract crowds without God's pattern.
How to produce results that look powerful on earth but are powerless before God.
And the earth claps.
The systems applaud.
Men confer titles, crowns, recognition.
But God is not deceived.
The Judge does not measure by numbers, but by obedience.
Not by visibility, but by faithfulness.
Not by the multitude of men who follow you, but by the stature of Christ formed in them.
And I weep… because many do not see the danger.
We are teaching men to rejoice in shadows,
To mistake applause for approval,
To call noise the move of God,
When in fact, it is rebellion wearing the mask of progress.
This is the sorrow:
Many of the works we call “the move of God” are nothing but towers of Babel.
Yes, they rise high, but their foundation is rebellion.
Yes, they are loud before men, but they are silent before God.
And God weeps while men clap.
A man can raise sons who never knew the Father.
A ministry can multiply branches God never planted.
A preacher can trend online, yet his name carries no weight in the courts above.
We can call it “Kingdom,”
But in Heaven, it is written down as iniquity.
Oh, what sorrow.
That we may spend our years in labor,
And discover at the end that we never built for Him.
That we may shout “Lord, Lord,”
And hear Him whisper back, “I never knew you.”
Beloved, can we not feel the grief of the Spirit?
We are running fast, but in the wrong direction.
We are building tall, but not upon His foundation.
We are laboring much, but not in His will.
This is why God is calling: Return!
Return to obedience,
Return to labors that are recorded in Heaven, not works applauded by men.
Return to the trembling of men who would rather be unknown on earth,
Than to be rejected in eternity.
A FINAL LAMENT
Oh Church, do you not see?
It is possible to win the earth and lose Heaven.
It is possible to gather men and yet be a stranger to God.
It is possible to labor day and night,
And still hear the most dreadful words in eternity:
“I never knew you.”
I weep as I write this.
For better to be nameless in time and known in eternity,
Than to be celebrated here,
And cast away before the Lamb.
Your Brother,
Toluwalogo Agboola
From where I stand I have resolved to not police the way people pray for the simple fact that I'm not the one answering their prayers.
I may find their preferred way of praying unattractive. But again it is not me the prayers are directed to. What happens if I make them pray the way I prefer. Will it bring them to the front of the waiting queue? Most probably not.
I have my style of praying but trust me I've seen all kinds of things.
I've seen people who only pray with fast rhythm drums beating in the backgrounds.
There are those who when they want to pray they have to hug as many people as possible. If I want them to pray in a more orderly way, I can't guarantee that their praying will be more beneficial.
I have a friend that when he wants to pray all night he will put on his PS4, controller in hand and be playing games while speaking in tongues till morning. If I tell him to stop doing that and he begins to sleep more than he prays, I can't help him.
I once saw a picture of a young man at a prayer ground with his head on the floor and his feet in the sky. I found it really hilarious but I couldn't guarantee him answers if I told him to do otherwise.
If another person decides to always only pray by listening prayerfully I can't guarantee that if they pray the way I fancy God will come to them quicker.
The only person who can really say if a particular prayer is effective is the one who looks at the heart. So I am more focused on encouraging proper heart angulation when I teach people prayer than telling them how to not pray especially If it's not included in what Jesus taught, I don't want it.
Have you seen a woman praying to have her child before?
You will think she's drunk.
If you stop her, can you give her children?
The answer is no.
Be more interested in your prayers being acceptable and leave God who searches the intent of the heart to reward prayers.
JESUS lost followers when He Told The Multitude the truth (John 6:66). That’s how you know it was ministry not marketing.
Truth Always thins The crowd.
The moment your goal becomes popularity, you have departed from the pattern.
Ministry was never about reach; it has always been about reproduction CHRIST formed in men.
THE BLOOD OF BENUE AND THE SILENCE OF THE CHURCH
HAVE WE, AS THE CHURCH NOT FAILED THIS NATION?
Not because we lacked buildings, but because we lost our voice.
Not because we lacked access to kings, but because we betrayed the Kingdom.
The land mourns.
The ground is soaked again not with rain, but with blood.
The children of Benue cry, but the pulpits echo with laughter.
Another massacre and the Church returns to her programs.
The LORD is asking: Who will account for the blood of these innocents?
The Killings in Benue is a sign.
A sign that judgment is near.
A sign that the watchmen are sleeping.
A sign that the altars are cold.
And a sign that the Church has become familiar with bloodshed.
There was a time when a cry from the land would provoke a cry from the altar.
But now, blood flows and we remain neutral.
We pray for harvest while ignoring the genocide.
We host services under banners of favor while graves are being dug in the North Central.
(THE INDICTMENT IS SPIRITUAL)
Let no man deceive himself:
What is wrong with Nigeria is not just political.
The plague is priestly.
The nation is bleeding because the Church is compromised.
We cannot curse the kings while blessing their altars.
We cannot cry for justice and dine with those who sponsor injustice.
This contradiction has become our shame.
The LORD is looking for a Church that will not bow.
Not to Baal. Not to Babylon. Not to budget.
(ACCURATE MEN OR POPULAR ONES?)
We do not need more influencer Pastors. We need intercessors.
Men who are unbought and unbribed.
These men may never trend, but they are the hinges of nations.
The LORD is not impressed by volume.
HE is searching for alignment.
And until HE finds men who will carry HIS burden, the land will remain under judgment.
The LORD is watching what the Church will do with the cry of Benue.
If we bury it under silence, we will share in the judgment.
There must be a turning.
A shaking.
A holy sorrow that leads to action.
We cannot call ourselves ministers and ignore a massacre.
We cannot call ourselves prophets and remain politically convenient.
The blood on the land is not just a statistic it is a sentence waiting to be passed.
Let every man examine himself.
Let every church return to her knees.
Let every prophet recover his voice.
For the LORD is near and HIS eyes are on the blood.
“Shall I not judge for these things?” says the LORD.
“Shall I hold back MY sword when the land is defiled?” (cf. Jeremiah 5:9)
Let those who still tremble before GOD rise.
Let those who still feel what HE feels respond.

@DavidPrinceBen We are all witnesses of this... You are not exaggerating my brother!!!

You are a father we are proud to have 🙌🙇♂️
AN OPEN LETTER TO APOSTLE TOLUWALOGO AGBOOLA
Dear Father in the Faith,
There are letters we write with ink, but there are others that are written with tears this is one of such.
I have watched you from afar and drawn near; I have observed in silence and listened in the Spirit. I do not write merely as one who admires, but as one who discerns. Because only God can truly measure the weight of a man, and only eternity can repay the kind of labor you carry in your bones.
You have chosen a path that many now call foolish a path where oil is not for sale and the altar is not a platform. In a generation where men have mastered the art of profiting from Ministry, you have refused to commercialize your calling. You have stood still rooted in the fear of the LORD while others built empires with what they received in prayer.
I know there are tears no camera will ever capture. Tears from betrayal. Tears from misunderstanding. Tears from watching a generation call showbiz “revival.” Yet you have not flinched. You have not sought applause. You have not adjusted your sound to suit the itching ears of the crowd. You have remained faithful to the burdens that only men born in the secret place can understand.
You are a rebuke to compromise. A voice to the remnant. A reminder that the narrow path is still the ancient way.
You could have built a kingdom for yourself. You could have embraced the celebrity culture that now masquerades as ministry. But you chose tears over trends, consecration over convenience, and obedience over popularity.
Many may never know the price you paid to preserve the purity of your sound. But Heaven knows. And the sons God is raising through your obedience will be the proof that one man can still walk with God in our time.
Thank you, Father, for choosing to be a signpost to a forgotten path. Thank you for not altering your message, even when it seemed like no one was listening. Thank you for laboring to birth sons and not fans, altars and not stages.
The wilderness will soon give way, and the rivers will break forth in dry places. The very ground that rejected your footsteps will soon drink from the rain of your consistency.
May your eyes see the sons you have travailed for. May your hands bless the harvest that you have watered with tears. And may your mantle not fall to the ground, but rest on men who fear the LORD as you do.
A Son Watching Closely,
One Among Many,
Still Learning to Carry Fire Without Losing the Pattern.
Your Son,
Prince Ben
@RevToluAgboola
@DavidPrinceBen@drjoshagunbiade No believe ooo my guyyyy 😂
They will choose shifts over you
If you don't believe me ask your popular friends that come to the UK 🤣
@drjoshagunbiade@OlufolakeAjose@RasineIrem Thanks MOG.
I could remembered that I had a tweet on this about 2 years ago asking that if you are a pastor and you looked into your future and saw that you will never have more than the members you have now, will you still put as much energy you put into what you are doing?
I looked again, yet I do not understand what kind of person Rev Tolu is.
From his city , he books his flight , travels miles in discomfort to a city that is not stable and in crises , ready to spend all his resources to see a young boy he has never met and to bless a people he does not know and for 6 days he is there. How many at his level can do this???
No demand for honorarium,no demand for expensive cars and hotels, at his level he was proposing to stay in someone's house, I said never ,He specifically told me no convoy!
In his words , "we are servants not celebrities, the average young minister is chasing celebrity status and I don't want you to be like that "
just a servant serving and a teacher teaching. Now if that is not love and if that is not ministry then I do not know what that is.
These are our teachers and the people we learn from. We know them and they know us.
