One of my most respected teachers in the Faith says “The imagination is the backdoor into the mind”
From the moment I heard that phrase, I realized it was totally true!
Whenever the world had taken a position on something and anybody desires to see that position change, such a
Person would resort to a badgering of the imagination through the creative industry!
When you watch the theme over and over in many movies and music videos, you somehow come to accept it as not too bad or as inevitable.
That was how same sex relationship was woven into the fibers
of our minds
It didn’t matter that it was fiercely resisted at the beginning
The plot was kept alive in movies, series and music videos/lyrics that when a generation that grew up consuming it got to positions of power, they took the opposite position
Every argument that cannot be
Won rationally can be won through the backdoor of the mind when presented tacitly and suggestively.
Andrew Womack talked about a documentary he once saw on their local Tv. A murderer who killed some women was arrested and was facing a death sentence if convicted of murder. This
Murderer came from a rich family and his mother was determined to save him from the hangman’s noose. His mother got the beat lawyers in country to defend him. The first thing the lawyers did was hire a Public relations company to make a video detailing the life of this murderer
And his struggles with multiple personality disorder, psychosis, Daddy issues, rejection, depression and other maladies. They made a victim of him and the video convinced Andrew Womack to the point where he felt death sentence was a bit harsh. Then the Holy Spirit told Andrew not
to look at the “engineered image presented by the Public Relations company because it was a lie meant to garner public sympathy and brainwash the public”
Andrew Womack said he literally had to snap out of the cloud of deception through prayer!
The reality of the story had been
Swept aside and perception was being altered mercilessly in favour of injustice.
The Holy Spirit has no interest in the criminal being sentenced to death, he only reminded the minister of God not to get swept away by the lure of a well rehearsed story forged to deceive through
the press
Many of us have allowed demon inspired story tellers to reengineer our realities
We have let down the guards of our heart and allowed the issues of life flowing through it to become polluted
A brother I used to work with came to my office one morning and asked me to
Pray for a young lady who was in distress
He told me that the young lady was a member of the church of a pastor that I respected very much
The pastor was in his office and I was in mine
I told the young man to call the attention of the pastor to the case as i might not be able to
Follow up as necessary
The pastor will be able to keep abreast of events as they u fold regarding the lady’s case
The brother told me he cannot do it
I asked him why
He said he went to the pastor’s office to clean it and he found some explicit contents on the screen. The pastor
Was watching pornography
To this brother, that means the pastor was not a true servant of God and shouldn’t be allowed to minister to God’s people.
I met with the young lady and we handled the case
Then I went to meet the pastor
He was in his early fifties and I respect him a lot
I told him what I heard and offered to help him if he needed help
He told me it started from a music video he saw
He didn’t know how he started googling the name of the music artist until he saw her sex tape and from one sex tape he became a constant visitor to pornography sites!
The backdoor of his mind was all it took to undo many years of teaching and training.
Recently I saw a university trending on Twitter and the school had become known for sex tape releases!
The liars we watch on TV whose reality is a far cry from the glamour they display in their
Videos made taping sex a glamorous thing
“It’s your body, it’s your life”
“No publicity is bad publicity”
“Notoriety is better than anonymity”
Many of those with known “mental health issues” among the celebrities are still the ones setting the agenda in our music & entertainment
Industries
The Christian community’s initial response to the conundrum of polluted imagination was drab Christian stations, contents and music
Sermons and other programmes also took to the airwaves but they were easy to spot and avoid.
The devil is subtle in the manipulation of
Human reality through the imagination
We must not allow the creative space to be dominated by him
Thank God for the vision of some men of God who promoted Christian content through the arts and music
Some of their products have now gone global but the church still has so much to
do.
We must come up with creative and inventive content as inspired by the Holy Spirit and put them in the airways
We must compose and sing love songs and make musical videos that can be termed as secular but forged in the flame of the pneuma!
I have deployed the Song of Solomon
to supernatural effect several times as led by the Holy Spirit and I have seen its effectiveness
Our content does not have to be religious in connotation. We have a right to rule the air for the god of that Kingdom is now subject to us.
We have a right to write novels and story
Books that are inventive, engaging, exciting, adventurous and captivating without feeding young minds with sexual content and violence! C. S. Lewis did this at his time and yes, he was a blessing!
We must build apps, invent devices, birth wonders in this realm from the spirit
We don’t pray in tongues only so the enemy cannot hear it
We pray in the spirit and get inspired daily to live as led by the spirit and deliver the wonders of the spirit upon the realm of man.
Let there be no spirit filled person who is sitting on his hand waiting for handouts!
The Holy Spirit is a treasure to be mined to your profit in Christ.
Many of us only consult him when we have a religious thing to do
We forgot that this same Holy Spirit in the life of Jesus caused a transfiguration and had no limit or measure in his expression through Jesus! Why
then are we wallowing in misery and poverty of the mind when we have the Holy Spirit in us
Some of us are so handicapped by the teachings of pastors who major on woe, fear and demonic teachings that our creative light had dimmed!
You have been called into a life of perpetual joy
Bliss and light
You know new things daily, your imagination has been ignited by the power of the Holy Spirt and you have the unction of the Holy One!
The corruption of the imagination of a believer through the channel of pornography and violence had done us a great damage. We
Only feed the flesh even though we know it profits nothing
Start feeding your spirit with the word and take complex puzzles to Him in the place of your meditation and fellowship
You will see how transformed your life will be in a few months
You are an inventor, a creator like Him

When you find yourself on the same side with unbelievers constantly. Their point of view is your point of view, their pain is your pain,. their argument is your argument, their worldview is your worldview, you need to do a thorough examination of your faith as a believer. You
need to sit yourself down and ask yourself how your light and darkness seem to have a lot in common. You need to check the root of your belief system, perhaps you were too shallow and carried away by the surface theme of deeper plots hewn by detractors of the faith
You need to do
this and get into the word of God more!
If your light is dimming, all things will become relative and sometimes you can't tell the difference between your faith and that of an unbeliever who is deeply rooted in another religion
You sometimes tell yourself that the unbeliever is

As much as possible, i beg you, before you marry into any family be sure you want to marry into the family
Be convinced
Dont marry into a family you hate or do not understand properly because you love their son or their daughter
Dont tear the family apart for your selfish reasons
While we were undergraduates, my brother started going out with a lady. She was a believer, quiet, and very reserved. They met each other while they were in 100 level. I joined the same school a year later and I realized something quite odd about my brother and this lady.
When
i walk into the cafeteria and see them together, my brother would hesitate before coming over to say hello to me. His babe's body language would immediately change. I was the older brother but I was in 100 level at the time and they were in 200 level, she found it difficult to

Be paying attention to symbols
Today is World Women's Day
Two strong women were strategically positioned to dismantle one of the remaining authority figures called "The Crown"
One was asking the questions
One was answering the questions
And the men played supporting roles!
Christians should especially pay attention to the signs of this time and not get carried away by the storyline
The crown is symbolic
Just as the church is symbolic
They are the old order and they have to be brought down
for a new order to rise
It is always beyond the surface!
In America, they enthroned a weak white man and made a strong black woman his deputy
Today they pitted a white male against vibrant black ladies
It was all in the perception
White men and all men represent Patriarchy
Revelations 17: 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the

Question: I have a question Sir,
If God has a Plan A that has been preordained and it doesn't happen; this means God changes his mind. Is plan B preordained too? Did God have plan A and plan B in his hands at the same time.
My mind is finding it hard to wrap around this.
Answer: (This was a "relationship" discussion so the answer was given in that context)
There was a lady I met in the University, 300 level! She was in 300 level law. She was in a relationship. I was not in a relationship. We worked together on a bad conference project. The Holy
Spirit told me she is my wife. One of our fellowship leaders took me on a drive to one of the school’s projects inspection tour a few days later.
He said “The Lord has laid it on my heart that this lady is your wife”
I nodded
The following week the lady’s relationship got broken

A friend of his was celebrating her 30th birthday
She had broken off her relationship eight days to the day
She was heartbroken and needed some support in order to heal
He met her at his former office
She was younger than him by ten years but she was very mature
Unlike the staff
members who worked with him in that office
She was smart and very perceptive
She knew somehow that beneath the fine suit and plastic smile was a very unhappy man who was facing hell in his marriage
How she knew he couldn't say
One day he was in the office, a day to valentines and
she popped into his office with a gift
She said "This this to your wife tomorrow, I believe it can break the ice and help you guys reconnect again"
He was caught unawares by her audacity
She had nailed the issues with his marriage on the head
He and his wife had drifted apart

In 2008, I was a fresh graduate who found himself living in Lagos after having spent all my life growing up in Ibadan.
My first weekend in Lagos was terrible
There was a church directly opposite my older sister's flat
(She had relocated to the USA with her husband in 2004) and
had kept on paying the rent
That was where I got the effrontery to travel from Bowen University to Lagos after my final examinations
I had some money on me with which I could buy food stuff and I felt I would get a petty job to do before I got called up for NYSC
This church had
this crazy idea that if you dont come to their church or attend any church service on a Sunday, you have no right to rest in your own house
Their megaphone was directed at my window and they turned on the noise mercilessly
I was a believer but I do not support their irritating
