When peace like a river, attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well, with my soul
It is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well with your soul
Meet Segun.

One of the bosses at his office is getting married in Benin.
Segun thinks:
“If I don’t go, it will look somehow.”
So he prepares.
Aso-ebi: ₦70k
Shoes: ₦30k

For someone earning ₦200k.
He comes back from the wedding with:
• souvenirs
• pictures,
• zero money
Now he has to borrow from Opay just to survive the month.
Next month he can’t repay.
Then the loan app starts calling:
his boss
his siblings
his contacts
All because Segun didn’t know how to say “No.”
Some financial problems are not caused by low income.
They are caused by expensive social pressure.
Live below your income.
Save.
Invest.
Build skills.
Not every invitation deserves your money.
Around June 2024, I used to wake up every night to pray.
One day, after praying, I slept, and along the way I started hearing melodic voices singing sweet and beautiful gospel songs close to my ears (all were songs of praise to God)
They were new songs because I had never heard them in real life.
It had only been a year since I started walking with Jesus.
I can bet I have never heard such sweet and harmonized voices in my entire life.
After that, I started hearing things about my parents and some areas my dad was dissatisfied with. I called to confirm the next morning, and they were true.
I thought that was the end, but from the next day I began having out-of-body experiences.
Every night around 4 am, I would feel a presence close to me, and I felt my spirit leave my body, accompanied by a heavenly being.
I was taken and shown beautiful places and mountains. I can bet that no place on earth is as beautiful as those places. I remember telling my mom I was tired of the world and wished I could just stay there.
Sometimes I found myself joining a crowd to sing new, beautiful songs. There was this day we sang “Blessed Are You” by Paul Wilbur.
That experience is something I can never forget or replicate here on earth. I know I haven’t traveled around this world, but I can tell you heaven is not what you can imagine.
From that day, I began waking up with new songs on my lips. Sometimes I would wake up singing new songs; other times I received new songs in dreams and recorded them when I woke up.
I now have close to 100 new gospel songs I have received. It became so frequent that I casualized it and thought it was normal, but every time I sing any of these songs, I get question like, “Who is the author?”
At some point it stopped, and I thought God had left me not until I realized that whenever I enter deep worship, new songs flow easily.
The spiritual realm is real!
Jesus is real!
Heaven is real!
Accept Christ today, He is the only way to eternal life.
I have many more encounters to share, but I’ll stop here.
One of my biggest fears of traveling is being a country and suddenly shit like this starts to happen.
You just on vacation and suddenly you are caught in the middle of a conflict you know nothing about.
