I have discovered that when people try to destroy us, we should not fight them or try to retaliate with evil.
Rather, we should pray for them. I learnt from Joseph and Jesus Christ. I am a very good student of the duo. If we try to fight those trying to destroy us,
we may be going against God’s divine agenda.
God usually use people who hated us to push us into our destiny. Genesis 50:20 “You intended to harm me,but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives”.
It is not all conspiracies, rebellion and attacks that is from the devil. Many comes from God who sits in heaven and does as he pleases on the earth. My advice, focus on your vision, endure the afflictions whilst it lasts and be ready to bask in the euphoria of victory.
I see you win.
Dele Olawanle is my name.

This has been on my mind for many years and it is time for this article to go out to help millions of Christians worldwide.
Many pastors are in trouble in their marriage and they are deceiving the members.
As a result of that, some members break up their own relationships as they want it to be like that of their pastors. In reality, there is no perfect home and there is no perfect marriage. Pastors are struggling too. They are human and they go through what you are going through.
Many pastors have died prematurely because of domestic pressure: stress, depression, stroke, heart problems, insomnia, high blood pressure and hypertension. They went to the grave with the secrets but we refuse to die. Pray for us.
The problem with Nigerians is that we believe that prayer will be the answer to Nigeria’s problem. Until we rise, the sufferings will continue. I commend @renoomokri for the peaceful ‘imprisonment’ of President Buhari in London. Maybe that will force him to save Nigeria from
disintegration. I also commend @DeleMomodu for his boldness in condemning our inept leadership. I cannot believe how many people are making enquiries on how to move out of Nigeria. People I thought were rich and wealthy. What happens to those that have nowhere to go? They are in
the majority. How can a president give so much priority to cows and his people? How can our president @MBuhari be so inhuman? I see that day coming when the ordinary citizens will turn on the rich in Nigeria and start taking their properties. Again, it is the innocent rich people
In Matthew 28, we saw that some women got to the sepulcher but Jesus was not there. He had risen. The grave could not hold him captive. He resurrected and is alive forevermore. The fact that his name works means that he is not dead.
He is alive forevermore. When we call on him, he answers us.
Whenever we talk of Jesus, he needs appreciation not a pity party. We have to rejoice that our Saviour lives for ever. It is good to reflect on his death and not to mourn. Why should you mourn someone that is alive?
Some religious people are trying to recreate sorrow, pain and the evil that happened to Jesus over 2000 years ago. It is wrong, it is absurd, it is pure ignorance. Jesus had risen and he is alive forever. If that is your belief, then rejoice and tap into the power of
THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE LEAVING YOUR COUNTRY OF BIRTH.
Sometimes, I think leaving one’s country of birth for a foreign country could be a big mistake especially for those who have great potentials. You could play yourself out of greatness. I blame the government of their home
country and I blame those checking out. Our taste for foreign things is insatiable. Meeting your economic needs is not the same as leaving a great legacy.
When I left Nigeria in 1990, it was because of education. I wanted to study law but there was no helper.
After many years in the wilderness of immigration, I eventually fulfilled my ambition and became a lawyer. I also became a pastor and did many other things successfully. Many people see me as a success but deep within me,
1.Make God your gold and serve him faithfully.
2.Get progressive minded friends.
3.Solve your immigration problem early.
4.Add Value - education, skills etc
5.Marry early if you can. Missed opportunities could be costly.
6.Have children early if you can. It could become a big challenge later.
7.Get a good mentor
8.Don’t mock others on their struggles, work hard. Diaspora is a nightmare.
9.Don’t be wasteful financially. Not many helpers here.
10.Don’t forget your home country. It will keep you on your toes.
11.Don’t miss opportunities to do great things. It could be elusive later.
12.Don’t be a tenant for life. Get on the property ladder. Let it be high on your scale of preference. It makes you wealthy later.
Today the 8th of February 2021, marks my 31 years of living in the United Kingdom. It was supposed to be a journey of 3 days. I thank God for his incredible grace upon my life. The Lord who blessed the journey of Jacob has blessed my journey but I...
want everyone living abroad to take note of these points:
1. Don’t think you have time. 31 years disappeared like 31 days. Number your days as I am doing today. 2. Stop jumping from one church to another. I have only attended two churches in 31 years.
The one I joined on arrival for 15 years and the one I founded for the last 16 years. Church stability is key for the fulfillment of destiny. 3. Stop jumping from one relationship to another. Relationships do waste lives. Be careful with relationships.
