Miracles Williams

Saved by grace. Living a life of favour. Walking in miracles. Waiting for HIS appearing.

Dear Young Nigerians,

One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.

In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.

Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.

Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.

Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.

Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.

At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.

We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.

I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.

Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.

The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Please release these children for the sake of our shared humanity

I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land.

I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. When I first began making that statement, some of these children were not even born. This is a classic example of how the abuse of governance and society today can produce devastating consequences long after the abusers are gone.

It is on the same line that I argue that the loans our leaders take today will hurt our children in the future, as many of them will mature for repayment and consequences long after we are gone.

To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children - sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them. In every one of them, you will find reflections of your own children, your own family, and your own humanity.

No grievance, no hardship, no justification can ever outweigh the sanctity of a child’s life and innocence. Whatever path has led to this moment, there is still room for remorse, for humanity, and for a change of heart.

I therefore appeal to your sense of mercy: release these children immediately. Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families. -PO

Jesus said His return would be like the days of Noah. Not just marked by darkness, but by people continuing on as normal, unaware of what was coming.

There may be increasing spiritual confusion and deception, but the greater issue is this: people are not ready.

God is patient. He is not trying to keep people out, He is calling them in. There is still time to turn, to come back, and to walk in fellowship with Him.

Sin doesn’t just affect behavior, it affects relationship. It separates, and if we’re not careful, it leaves us unprepared for His appearing.

This isn’t a message of fear. It’s a call to be ready while there is still time.

There is a rising pressure in this generation. A pressure to “do something for God.” A pressure to “start something.” A pressure to “not waste your anointing.” A pressure to “step out before it is too late.”

And for many, that pressure is not coming from the Holy Spirit. It is coming from comparison, from expectations, from platforms, from voices that equate visibility with calling.

Let this be settled.
Not every believer is called to start a ministry.
Not every anointing is for pioneering.

Not every grace is for building a platform.
Some are called to be planted. Deeply planted. Faithfully planted. Quietly growing. Strongly rooted in a local church, serving, building, strengthening, and maturing within a body.
And that is not lesser.
That is biblical.

In 1 Corinthians 12, the Scripture says God sets members in the body as it pleases Him. Not as pressure dictates. Not as trends demand. Not as people suggest. As it pleases Him.

That means your place is not discovered by pressure. It is discovered by divine placement.
And when God places you, He sustains you.
But when pressure pushes you, you will spend years trying to sustain what God never started.

This is where many are exhausted today. They started something out of excitement, expectation, or persuasion, and now they are carrying a weight that grace never authorised. They are building without clarity. Leading without conviction. Labouring without peace.
Because they responded to pressure, not to calling.

Let us bring Scripture into this.
In Acts 13, Paul and Barnabas were not roaming around looking for where to start a ministry. They were in a local church. They were serving. They were part of a leadership community. Then the Holy Spirit spoke and said, “Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.”

Notice this.

They did not appoint themselves.
They were not pressured into starting something.
They were not compared into ministry.
They were not shamed into stepping out.

The Spirit spoke.

The church discerned.
Hands were laid.
They were released.
There was clarity.
There was witness.
There was alignment.
There was no confusion.

If God is calling you to start something, you will not need ten voices pushing you into it. There will be a deep persuasion within. There will be alignment in your spirit. There will be confirmation through Scripture, through godly counsel, and through the witness of the Spirit. It may be stretching, but it will not be confusing. It may require faith, but it will not require you to violate your peace.

God does not lead His people by harassment.
God does not guide His children by anxiety.
God does not reveal calling through intimidation.
The Spirit leads.

Now hear this clearly.
Honour is not slavery.
Submission is not the suspension of discernment.
Loyalty is not the abandonment of divine conviction.

You can respect leaders, receive from them, learn from them, and still not obey every suggestion they make about your life. A leader can see potential in you and still be wrong about your assignment. A pastor can desire expansion and still misplace people in roles they were not called to carry.

You must not convert someone else’s excitement about you into God’s instruction for you.
Your calling is not decided by who believes in you the most.

Your assignment is not determined by who is most persuasive.
Your ministry is not born because people say, “You can do it.”
It is born because God said, “This is what I have called you to do.”
And until that is clear, remain where God has planted you.

There is no shame in staying planted.
There is no shame in growing quietly.
There is no shame in serving faithfully.
There is no shame in saying no to opportunities that do not align with your conviction.

In fact, it takes maturity to remain where God is feeding you when there is pressure to prove something elsewhere.

I testify to this scandal of grace. He came walking through the locked door of my heart❣️#desperatelylost #graciouslyfound

[Chuck Swindoll @chuckswindoll]

This is the scandal of grace, and the most humbling truth in all of Scripture.

"We did not seek God. He sought us first. We didn't want Him. He wanted us first." — Chuck Swindoll

The Easter story isn't the story of humanity finally finding God. It's the story of God coming to find us, at the highest possible cost. While we were running the other direction, He was running toward us.

While we were choosing everything but Him, He was choosing the cross, for us. That's not religion. That's relentless, pursuing, sacrificial love. And it's yours today.

[Pst Mrs F.A.Adeboye @PastorFAAdeboye]

Today, I celebrate not just your 84th birthday, but the incredible grace and faithfulness of God over your life. For over eight decades, the Lord has preserved you, strengthened you, and used you as a vessel of honor to bless nations. I have watched you serve God with unwavering devotion, humility, and a heart fully surrendered to His will. You are not only a gift to the body of Christ, but you are God’s precious gift to me.

At 84, you are still burning brightly for the Lord, still hearing His voice clearly, and still leading with wisdom and compassion. I thank God for your life of obedience, sacrifice, and relentless pursuit of His presence. You have shown us what it means to finish strong.

On this special day, I pray that the Almighty God will renew your strength like the eagle’s. May your latter days be greater than the former. May divine health be your portion, and may joy overflow in your heart continually. The Lord will uphold you with His righteous right hand, surround you with peace, and satisfy you with long life. You will see the fruits of your labor flourish across generations, and your legacy in Christ will remain unshakable.

Happy 84th Birthday, @PastorEAAdeboye my dear husband. I am grateful to walk this journey of faith and love with you.

GRATITUDE IS A SPIRITUAL WEAPON: REFUSE TO GRUMBLE

Never allow yourself to become an instrument of sympathy. Don’t become the person everyone gathers around, saying, “Oh, you really mean it,” while encouraging you to wallow in pain.

Whether it works out well, praise Him.
Whether it doesn’t work out well, praise Him.
The world is full of angry people. Don’t join them. Always give God thanks.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Satan will not see your tears. Your tears will be only before the throne room. Your tears will be only in the secret place!

For eleven months, the Lord has surrounded us with His mercy and covered us with His grace. Through every challenge and triumph, His hand of protection and provision has never departed from us.

If you’re not actively involved in a local church, then you’re also not “being the church”.

Part of being the church is being in community and accountability with other believers.

Womb-Like Compassion in Hebrew

When we want to describe emotional pain or pleasure, joy or grief, we often turn inward—I mean, literally *turn inward,* to the organs inside our bodies. In older English, people used to say someone was “venting their spleen” when they expressed anger. We describe someone as “heartbroken” if they’ve experienced a terrible disappointment. We talk about a “gut-wrenching” experience.

Hebrew does this as well, most famously with a woman’s womb. A womb is a rechem (רֶ֫חֶם) and the verb, “to show compassion [רחם]” is formed from this. To show compassion is to “womb someone,” that is, to treat them with care and love such as a devoted mother gives to the child within her.

Two OT passages in particular highlight the connections between the maternal womb and compassion, but both of them are hidden in English translation.

The first of these is Isaiah 49:15, “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion [רחם] on the son of her womb [בֶּ֫טֶן]? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.” Isaiah, a master wordsmith, is saying, “Can a woman forget to ‘womb’ the son of her womb?” He could have said “love” or “be gracious to” or “show mercy to” but he chose the “womb verb” to echo the other Hebrew noun for womb or belly, בֶּ֫טֶן (beten).

The other passage even more beautifully and graphically describes a womb-like compassion. You remember the story of the two women who appeared before Solomon, each claiming to be the mother of a living child (1 Kings 3:16-28)? When the king decreed that the living child should be cut in two and the halves divided between the two women, what was the response of the real mother? “Then the woman whose son was alive said to the king, because her heart yearned for her son, 'Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means put him to death'” (3:26).

Here are the attempts of various translations to capture the intensity of the Hebrew, which is translated by the ESV as “her heart yearned”:
-“deeply moved out of love” (NIV)
-“her bowels yearned” (KJV)
-“deeply stirred over” (NASB)
-“her feelings…were very strong (EHV)
-“her compassion welled up” (Robert Alter)

The Hebrew is something like “her wombs warmed,” that is, “her compassions grew hot within her.” This mother, who had borne this child in her womb, “wombed” him once more. Far from being cold-hearted, like the lying mother in this story, the true mother was warm-wombed toward him. So much so, in fact, that as she told Solomon, she would rather the false mother have the child than that he should be cut in two.

Such womb-like compassion is gripping and unforgettable. But let us also remember the words of Isaiah once more, “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.”

Even the highest maternal love imaginable is but a tiny icon of the inestimable love of our God toward us in Jesus Christ.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

According to the Bible, we don’t merely need the money from work to survive; we need the work itself to survive and live fully human lives.

[POJU OYEMADE @pastorpoju]

Humility is the key to exhaltation and service is the key to power. Get connected to helping others at the point of their need and stay humble while doing it. God will grant you grace and honour you.

[John Bevere @JohnBevere]

When God gives you a promise, there is a PROCESS that follows. This process is necessary to develop the character needed for you to stay in the promise and steward it well.
