I once asked a close relative why she wanted to relocate to the USA with her family
Her husband sat down and quietly explained to me the importance of a societal system and structure that is dependable, reliable and consistent in the upbringing of children
He said he was not
planning to relocate for himself but for the sake of his children.
He wanted them to grow up in a reliable system that they can trust to nurture and care for them as they grow into adulthood
I commended his optimism and prayed for him that his quest to relocate shall be a success
He travelled with his family in 2015
One year later, he called me randomly out of the blue
He was a huge Hilary Clinton fan and had expected her to win the election against Trump hands down
Trump won.
He was upset
He called me to lament about hackers
Hmmm
I reminded him of what
he said while we were seated opposite each other
He had said with confidence that the system and structure in the country he moving to works
He was so sure of it
How come he was lamenting about the election being hacked?
If the election was hacked, it means the system cannot be
trusted anymore
Systems and structured cannot be trusted anymore
He said he was just calling to talk it out with me
The government had raised a panel of investigation, the truth shall be outed.
That he said was another thing about America
They are very finicky when it comes to
the truth.
They will spare no expense and leave no stone unturned
The Mueller investigation commenced
After one year, this beloved brother called me
He was getting the picture and what he saw was not palatable
The investigation was a hoax and there was no case anywhere to suggest
that the election was hacked
He said “All the witnesses and evidences were fabricated or totally unfounded. What are they still investigating? The Mueller guy should have called it off since”
I laughed
Eventually Mueller called the investigation what it was
A hoax!
There was an
Uproar in many quarters
This brother was perplexed
How can people be so determined not to pursue the course of justice to its logical end?
There was no interference in the election, why are people upset that there wasn’t one if the investigation also proves it?
Didn’t they say
the investigation was to prove that the system has not been compromised?
He was beginning to see how human nature and vested interest works
The Bible says Jesus knew what was in man and he didn’t need anybody to tell him what was in man. I make the same confession daily, I am one
with the Lord by the spirit
Before the 2020 election, this brother had come to dislike the “Clinton party”
He didn’t like Trump as a person but he wanted to be on the side of truth and integrity
I told him there is nothing like truth and integrity when it comes to men. He was
making the same mistake all@over again
He studied political science and wrote his thesis on the infallibility of the American Democratic System as a model for true federalism
He was so sure his researches and all the institutions deliberately built to maintain the integrity of
the American system cannot be compromised
He was very wrong
Dead people were raised from all over America to vote in the last election
The line of fairness and justice were totally reversed
Injustice was dressed in purple and made queen over all
System and structures failed again
The brother said “Surely there will be a panel of investigation to look into all these allegations to confirm the integrity of the election. It was too glaring that something was amiss. It was too glaring that the system was compromised. It was too glaring that the structure had
failed.
I laughed and told him there would be nothing like that
When there was no system breech, the nation spend billions of dollars and three years to investigate nothing
When there were obvious breeches in the system, there would be no investigation whatsoever!
That is how
Systems and structures work
Big Pharm, Big Tech, Billionaires and Individuals with vested interest determines who sits on the throne and for what purpose
There is no nation, ruled by men and populated by men that is immune from the curse of the fallen man.
Systems and structures
are made to be manipulated and compromised
Given the right incentive, the most “pious” of men will go into deals with all sorts and do all sorts to have their way
An unregenerated society cannot lay claim to righteousness or right living
It is impossible to give what you don’t
have.
The brother had totally stopped believing in systems and structures
His eyes was opened to this truth, that only God and those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour can be righteous
If righteousness was not given to us as a gift, there was no other way for us
as human beings to earn it
Inherent in our nature is the inability to make right judgements and do things in a godly manner
Many of us try to keep up the appearance of a decent society but in our hearts we know the truth
Outside of the free gift of salvation that Jesus offers to
mankind, there is no other system of government or societal or political structure that is worth putting your faith in
People will continue to manipulate systems and structures to their selfish ends
The salvation Jesus offers and eternal life is immune to manipulation and rigging
You will be accepted as you are
You will become the light
You will live a life that is far above principalities and powers
A life above the deceit of systems and structures
You will rule and reign as Kings and Priests unto our God
You will be part of a kingdom that is from
eternity to eternity.
I am writing to the cerebral ones who like to process reality through the prism of logic and facts
Look at the world’s systems in the last few years from an objective point of view
Do away with your biases and look through the facts objectively
You will see
that the tower man built as his monument had been dismantled in its entirety by man to satisfy ambition.
An ambitious man or woman, an inordinately ambitious man or woman will not hesitate to burn down the house and rule over the pile of ashes.
Game of Thrones illustrated this
very clearly.
Ambition and emotion as a force in the hands of the unsaved man will dismantle any system and destroy any structure built by men.
There is only one Kingdom that is not built by man and to which man can willingly be a part
It is the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Of this kingdom there shall be no end.
Come into this kingdom today, learn the ways of this kingdom and grow in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In Him we have all things!
Hallelujah

I took my boys to the barbers two days ago, while we were in the car the two of them insisted they wanted hairstyles. It was all they talked about as we drove on and on
They didn’t even ask me if I was on board with the idea.
I didn’t say anything
I was just enjoying their back
And forth
We got to the barber’s shop
I said “We’re here”
The older son said “No Dad, we don’t want to cut our hair with this dude”
I said “What? Why?”
“He is a hard man, Dad, his hand is tough and he always makes me cry when he cuts my hair” explained the younger one
Oh wow!
This was a barber I invested in six months ago when he wanted to set up
I had a lot invested in his success and I always barb my hair with him.
The children had a point though, he barbs as if he was an Apache warrior out to get your scalp
The barber had seen us and he walked

Somebody wrote me a stinker a few days ago
The stinker felt like Michael Tyson's famous punches as I read it
Not for the words though, but for the blatant degree of ignorance, untruths, half-truths, assumptions, misrepresentation and falsehood held together by so much venom and
hate
The writer had misunderstood an action I took and rather than ask for an explanation or seek clarity, the person decided to put pen to paper to tear me to pieces
I read the message many times and came to this conclusion
It was my fault
Teachers ought to conduct certain tests
for students before placing them in classes
I didn't do this
I took this person on his or her word that he or she had been in Christ for a while and as such, had matured
I was wrong
I apologized to this person and I had to go back to the Lord to see how I could help this person

You cannot be a Christian and a FEMINIST at the same time!
In everyday parlance, the word “ideology,” like its cousins “worldview” and “values,” is morally neutral. The assumption is that every person has an ideology and that it’s impossible not to have one.
But ideologies are actually uniquely modern phenomena, and historically,they have been highly value-laden. The 19th-century philosopher Destutt de Tracey invented the word “ideology” to describe the system of ideas he designed to transform France into a more rational, enlightened
society. By this definition, an ideology is not a neutral worldview, but rather, an active intellectual framework tied to particular social and political ends. As such, English political theorist Maurice Cranston writes that it “has been from its inception a word with a marked

So I had some ministrations in Lagos that will go on for three days
I left home early in the morning and lodged in a hotel
My wife was also in Lagos that day, working
At 11pm, I finished my final ministration for the day, I called my wife
She didn't pick
She also didn't return my
call
That was Friday night
ON Saturday morning, I called her again before leaving the hotel
She didn't pick
I knew something was wrong
I knew it was nothing very serious but it was serious enough for my wife not to want to tell me what it was
My wife is the definition of a woman
guile
She cannot lie for a million golden crowns
So when something goes wrong and she feels it might upset me, she will keep quiet
I called the security guy and the children's minder
Both told me the children and my wife were fine
I took my mind off it
Whatever it was would come
