  Using the clock and ladder model, I'll explain what God has laid on my heart. The clock represents God's nature of love and righteousness, while the ladder symbolizes the law of Moses. We, as humans, are like three-year-olds. The law instructs us to pick up the ladder, place it against the wall, climb up, and reach the clock. However, for a three-year-old, this is impractical, leading to repeated falls in attempts to pick up the ladder. Similarly, when we try to obey the law, we often fall back into our sinful nature, as it's impossible for us to fully fulfill the law. In this analogy, the Holy Spirit plays the role of the father of the three-year-old child. The Holy Spirit, being tall enough, can take the clock from the wall, give it to the child, and teach them how to use it. The Holy Spirit instills new desires, encourages us to walk in love and righteousness, and helps us produce good fruits without the need to climb the ladder.

As I meditated on Song of Solomon 2:3. I saw myself under an apple tree. An angel stood before me and presented two bowls before me. One was filled with fresh apple fruits the other with grapes. The angel said, “Choose one!” I looked deeply into the bowls. The angel advised me to look carefully with the eyes of my spirit and so when I looked intently. I discovered that the bowl with grapes although so enticing and fresh on the outside was filled with slimy and nauseating worms below alongside everything deadly, the apple fruits although they appeared ordinary at first were fruits filled with light energy. I pointed at the apple fruits. The angel walked and collected some water from a river flowing nearby. He called it the water of living.  “What do you think would happen if I drop some of this water into this bowl containing the grapes”, he asked.  I looked again and saw fire.  “What you see is true, the water of life will cleanse and purge the evil from your heart,” the angel responde

I am in bondage, with your chains wound around my neck. You bind my hands and feet to the Tree of Life in Jerusalem. Who can save me from the stronghold of your truths, love, and grace? The Tree of Life is in an unapproachable light beyond the reach of humans. He is immortal and invisible, and no one can find him; and even if they can, they cannot cut him down. His roots reach to the depths of the earth where he overcame the forces of darkness and displayed his victory. His trunk fills the earth with glory, and his crown and leaves fills the heavens.  He is seated at your right hand, far above anything created or imaginable. Your chains of grace, love, and truths bind me to your Tree of Life. As I dwell in your secret place, I am overwhelmed by your glorious presence. Nothing can break these chains; nothing can separate me from your love in your glorious tree.   Neither hell, death, angels, principalities, powers, things to come, nor things unseen can separate me from these teachings t

  In this realm, my mind doth wander, To my life on Earth, where memories squander. Mistakes and right decisions blend, Leading to this moment, where reflections transcend. Heaven's glass reveals a time before, As my gaze transcends, peace I adore. Rest and satisfaction in this heavenly space, Guided by Your hands through darkness, a trace. Through the darkest nights, Your Spirit did lead, Warming me with presence, a comforting creed. Lord, it's always been You, both near and far, In heaven or on Earth, You are my guiding star. Evil has ceased, all troubles subside, Clarity unveils truth, where it cannot hide. No pain, no fear, no pride to consume, Guilt dissipates, all is well in this room. I recall days of weakness and might, Falling and rising, in a constant plight. You granted me wings like an eagle to soar, Fearless, for You were with me, forevermore. Today is eternity, tomorrow is not, In this timeless place, worries forgot. Grateful, dear Lord, for bringing me near, To t

 How funny, those flawed ones deemed The Perfect, a liar, accusing Him day and night.  My Lord, flawless, pure, from heaven's fire. With the Father ere the world's inception, Creator of all, despised by His creation. Trees formed on the third day, From thee, timber hewn for the cross's pain. Slain by those He lovingly made, Imperfect ones against the Perfect laid. I am weak, yet He stands strong, In doubt, His faithfulness prolongs. Lust, anger, pride within my soul reside, Love, grace, humility His heart does provide. My life He took, His life He gave, They called Him flawed, a label so grave. Perfection entered this imperfect sphere, His blood, redemption's price so clear. How foolish to doubt His wondrous might, Claiming Beelzebub fueled His healing light. His holy testimony, rejected with disdain, Eternal life's offer, dismissed in vain. Blinded they are, too far to truly see, Sad souls unaware of His majesty. But I shall rejoice in my God's salvation, Danci

  Sleep, Lord, for in your peace we shall find solace, Rest, great King, for soon we'll know your grace. All is tranquil now, but moments hence, Our ship shall be tested by Tempest's presence.   Arise, O Prince of Peace, when darkness looms, Strange voices shall invade like nocturnal gloom. Yet in your serenity, our peace remains, So slumber, Lord, as turmoil wanes.   Slumber, and lead us to tranquil repose, Awake, and unleash peace that storms oppose. Bid them hush and heed the voice divine, For we shall marvel at the power that is thine.   What manner of man is this, we'll soon proclaim, The winds and tempests yield to his acclaim. So sleep, O Lord, your rest we implore, As we witness the truth and fear no more.   As I gaze upon the raging storm's plight, I hear the wind, standing in your holy light. Assured, I know your existence is real, For your sacred daydream, the Father's love reveal.   In your ethereal rever

What Eve truly desired was to become like God and the tree that could grant her that was the Tree of Life (which represents Jesus). Remember there were two trees in the middle of the garden in Genesis 2:9.  Jesus declared, "I am the way, the truth, and the life in John 14:6." He embodied the life that Eve longed for because to be like God is to possess the life of His Son. Thus, Jesus was Eve's genuine desire. Similarly, David's true desire was the beauty of God's holiness and not the nakedness of Bathsheba (Psalm 27:4). The express image of God's person is Jesus (Hebrews 1:3). Thus, Jesus was David's genuine desire. Therefore, it is not the strong man with attractive muscles and a chiseled physique that I desire; rather, it is the one known as Faithful and True, the strongest man riding a heavenly horse. He is referred to as the Living Word of God. It is not the beautiful and tender woman, captivating and gentle to my touch with mesmerizing eyes, in w

As the Last Adam, the symbol of love and salvation, approached me, a wave of euphoria and excitement washed over my being. He gently grasped my hand and led me towards the Tree of Life, nestled in the heart of the garden. With grace, he plucked a fruit from the tree and beckoned me to partake. Without hesitation, fuelled by unwavering faith, I accepted the fruit from his hands and consumed it. Before taking my first bite, I examined the fruit closely, and to my astonishment, I discovered the words of John 3:16 intricately inscribed upon it. As the nourishment passed through me, my eyes were opened, and I beheld a radiant light enveloping me, akin to a majestic robe. Simultaneously, I noticed that the Last Adam was adorned in the same resplendent attire. Suddenly, a reverberation resonated throughout the garden, signifying the presence of God. He (God) beheld me and questioned, "Why did you not hide yourself from my presence, as many men often do?" In response, I humbly confes

God Almighty, the creator, is holy, righteous, pure, wise, and beyond our imagination in every good way. When rebellion entered creation, everything contrary to the nature of the creator emerged. Everything created could align with the creator or deviate into perversity. It is no surprise that after God created man, He placed two trees in the middle of the garden (Genesis 2:9). One tree represented God's nature, while the other represented the contrary nature. God warned man not to partake of the contrary nature, or else he would experience death. This contrary nature is known as sin, and sin leads to death (Genesis 2:6, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:19). To demonstrate the sovereignty of His holy nature over sin, God sent His Son as a Lamb to take away the contrary nature, sin (John 1:29). On the Cross, Jesus performed a great exchange between Himself and the world. He became the embodiment of the sin of the world, as God placed all sins upon Him. It was declared that those who believe in

In a world of night, a beam of light  Hope disguised as a man  Man child- God  In a time of doom, Son of the highest glows  Smallest seed, greatest tree  Feeble flesh, Almighty Spirit  Darkest night, brightest hope.  Still! Quiet night! Silent and epic  Warmth by a presence - Emmanuel's touch  Who have you come to see?  A king is born! No! The king is born!  We saw His star in the east. No! He is the star! Light of heaven and earth  Swindler"s chants, beckoning voices  Enchanting stories, magical folktales by  moonlight's space.  Deepened voice, narrator's choice.  None can be compared to this story.  Word made Flesh! Salvation to men! 

Can Man really be completely free? Free to make his own rules, and decisions. Free to rise above the clouds, like an eagle forging through layers of the skies; not bewildered by the resistance of the wind. Finding a nest to rest in the mountains beyond the reach of the fowlers and everything dark beneath the Earth.  I don't think man can ever be free! No! There is no such concept for this being destined to be God’s image to other creatures. How can man be free from God when he is chosen by the most powerful being? Never! Surely, the Almighty will not let him go!  Oh! Maybe eating a certain fruit from a certain tree on a certain day in a realm without time will finally make him (man) free from the burden of being God’s image to other creatures.  You see! God has cursed man, man will die! He will return to the dust! So how can a being destined to be God’s image die when God cannot die! Yes man is free from God! Alas! But wait! What do I see? Is Man truly free? Why do I see a new mast

The Apostle John wrote, "In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it" (John 1:4-5 NIV).  The life of Jesus had a special ability and that was: to shine as light. This light is so unique that the powers of darkness could not and cannot understand it. If Jesus had come to the human world as a Spirit then we could easily say it was His spiritual life that overcame darkness, but the Bible testified that "The Word was made flesh and dwelt among men.” So how can someone with flesh and blood overcome the spiritual powers of darkness? What is the connection between the life in a human Jesus and the forces of darkness? How is it that a physical man could confound the powers of darkness?  The answer is in Leviticus 17:11 (KJV) For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the s

I will tell you a story about a seed- it was planted in the darkest of soils and left alone to be hidden and forgotten, but out of the darkness it germinated into a seedling and then from a seedling to a tree, the largest of all trees. It had abundance of fruits.  This seed is Christ. He came so we could have life and life in abundance. The numerous abundant fruits of Christ belong to us. They are in abundance for He resurrected out of the darkness of death and is seated on God’s right hand. This is our faith. In His wisdom, He (Christ) told us about the story of a mustard seed, but we did not know He was talking about Himself. He said our faith must be like a mustard seed (a story of the smallest of seeds that became the greatest of trees; a hidden revelation of a baby in a manger destined to seat on God's Right Hand).  Jesus is the light that shines in the darkness. The light that darkness could and can not understand. Hell and Death could not understand Him when He resurrected o

It was around 2:30 a.m. of the presidential election. I knew it was time to pray for my nation Nigeria, so I got up from my bed, sat on a chair, and started praying.  The First Vision I came to the general assembly of the Firstborn in a place that looked like a stadium. Thrones were arranged all about but the Firstborn’s throne was more conspicuous than the others.  When I saw the Firstborn, I fell on my face and started crying.  Me : Lord have mercy upon my nation Nigeria, help us, we need you. Come, Lord! Help us. Firstborn : Arise, wipe your eyes, and tell me what you see! Me : I see a beautiful maiden with dark skin, filled with flowers and fruits, and a green garland around her head, but she is taken, beaten, and raped. Her flowers and fruits are ripped from her, and she is left on the streets, bleeding and crying. I see her blood flowing along the street into the gutters, and she is left to die.  Firstborn : Now, what do you see? Me : I see you, My Lord. You are walking towards h

God does not want our faith to be in obedience to the law, but rather in the truth of His Word/Promise. What He has promised He will do, He will do, because when we believe in our self-effort we believe in ourselves, but when we believe in the authenticity of His Word, we believe in Him, this is why the law and gospel are two different concepts, they cannot be mingled.  That was the kind of faith Abraham had in God, the faith that believes in God's promise.  What Paul is calling FAITH in this context (Romans 4:13-16) is Faith in God's promise simply because He (God) cannot lie, because it still requires faith to accept the law and try to follow it, but the end of that is faith in ourselves (our ability, and obedience).  Without faith in God's promise based on who He is, faith is pointless. We obviously should know God is perfect and we are not, the law shows us this over and over again, so it is far better to believe in God and only God without dragging ourselves into the e
