ANGER, OFFENCES, AND SPIRITUAL WARFARE

I once worked in an organization. I and my colleague had a high-end potential client we desperately wanted to convert into an actual one. His contract would run into the millions, and commissions would be huge.

We made calls. We made presentations. We spoke to the heads. We spoke to him. We prayed. We fasted – and I could see all the visible signs that we would get the contract. We had one final presentation – and the bag would be secured. We were so, so ready.

Then about two days before the presentation, my colleague and I had a blowout. A huge, massive, gigantic, spittle-flying, words-shooting blow-up…

Years ago, I was preparing to take the usual Sunday school class at church. The topic for that week was “The Whole Armour Of God”. It was/is a familiar topic – and I was ready to teach, raring to go. The scripture passage, of course, was taken from the popular Ephesians 6:11-18.

As was the usual practice, I was having my personal study at home before leaving for the general review at church when, suddenly, it was as if a veil was torn away – and I saw myself in the Spirit:

When Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice…”, He wasn’t being ‘spiritual’, figurative, or futuristic.

He was being factual. Read more…

HOW GOD-CONSCIOUS ARE YOU?

So, on this particular day, I decided to spend some time in worship. I plugged my ear-piece into my phone, and began to play worship songs – some in audio format, others in video.

As I began to sing along, my mind drifted to a certain issue that had been bothering me for some time..

“LORD, OPEN MY EYES…”

Lawrence Oyor has shared on numerous occasions how he started praying for long stretches at a time.

The first time it occurred, he and a group of other young boys were drilled by a certain pastor to pray for twelve hours non-stop. A few of the lads absconded, and the others just wanted to literally die. Read More…

BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD…

I had a ‘crazy’ friend who always made me collapse with laughter. She was unapologetically blunt, unafraid of anybody, unimpressed by what would impress most people – and the reigning queen of rapid comebacks and top-notch sarcasm…
