Conversations of Truth

I spent most of my growing up years in Oshodi and it was an environment where words were spoken with reckless abandon.

It was a place that was sometimes filled with too much anger, bitterness and disappointment so you want to put it on anyone.

Sometimes, parents would put it on their children and curses are established and patterns begin to operate.

So you see a child you knew growing up becoming a product of the words spoken to them.

It would take only the word of God to heal them - nothing more.

I remember a young man then. His mother was a legend in the hood.

No one has ever won a verbal war with her. She prided herself on being an Ibadan woman hence she would insult all day.

The young man was not spared. He was as quiet as his father and that was his fault.

Two years ago, I met this young man again and he was attending Daystar.

Everything had changed in him.

From a weak and fearful boy, he had grown into a good looking and well spoken young man who loved God and wanted all to see.

I hugged him and we laughed.

We spoke of our faith walk and the challenges and where I struggled, he encouraged and vice versa.

He was able to pull his younger sister into the Light and her life was changing.

His mother? Still the legend we knew her to be. Man is a being of words.

Everytime Jesus spoke things happened.

Even His death happened as He spoke. When the day came, it was words that quickened Him because the word had been sent ahead.

One of my favorite expressions of Jesus healing was the man with leprosy who implored Jesus with words.

"If you're willing" he said and Jesus, breaking all protocols of the law regarding touching a man with leprosy simply because the man came into an understanding that he had to be healed, touched him and spoke:

"I am willing, be cleansed"

And he was cleansed.

Tomorrow is Power Night and by the power of the Holy Spirit we would be transforming lives by the spoken Word.

As we teach the word of God, healings will happen, the unclean shall be clean, diseases shall go and infirmities will bow by the spoken Word.

We would also be praying specially for women trusting God for a life partner, career change and fruit of the womb.

The venue is Twitter Spaces and you can share, retweet and invite anyone and I mean anyone who is sick.

Jesus is willing and so am I.

So now, how do you prepare for this?

1. Plan to attend
2. Begin to speak God's word to your reality.
3. Listen to the speakers
4. Make declarations
5. Thanksgiving

Meanwhile, prayers for women continues today at 10:00PM.

Love,
