WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2021: The Book of 1 Kings 12: 1-4,8,12-33. Will be our guide.
1 Kings 12:1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)
3 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.
13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;
15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
17 But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
22 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
24 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
33 So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
Welcome to the month of August:
August is the eight month of the year and from the Bible verses we pasted you can see that two strong revelation manifested from the stories of the two men that appeared in that scriptural story.
1) The story of Rehoboam the son of King Solomon
2) The story of Jeroboam the son of a poor widow.
Two of them had been selected to become a king by the Almighty God.
Remember, whatever God has said concerning you no enemy or enemies can stop it but what you make out of it depends on you.
God instructed Jeroboam through prophet Ahija that if he will follow and obey His command as David did that He will establish his kingdom forever.
But at the end the reverse becomes the case. But in the case of Rehoboam, he chose to obey God's command although he made his mistake earlier by not keeping to the advise of the elders.
Although two of them at the end became king's and two of them achieved material success but the end of Jeroboam was a great disaster because he disobeyed the word of God, given to him.
Month of August is a month of personal decision.
Though God will instruct you on what to do but can not force you to do His will, because He created man a free will moral agent, allowing you to choose the part you want in life.
Stop doing your own wish, obey God by allowing the word of God to rule your life.
Thanks for reading.

Welcome to the month of June . Which is the sixth month of the year, and a prophetic month of revelation from God.
The problem and the cause of the trouble that is going on in Nigeria is revealed in the book of Ezekiel as we can read from Ezekiel Chapter 8 from verses 1, 3 -12. 8:1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.
8:3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
8:4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
8:5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
8:6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
8:7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
8:8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
8:9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
8:10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
8:11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
8:12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
So, our major problem is the leaders of Nigeria, Leaders at all levels.
Our leaders has forgotten God and has given themselves to the Devil because they believe that the only way to make it fast is by rejecting God and submitting to the Devil.
But there is a problem, they forget that God is still the owner of this country and that at His own appointed time He will change everything. And now is the time because the cry of the poor, the cry of the innocent blood that has been wasted in this country has reached heaven to God.
Our political leaders, our politicians are the key to the Nigerian trouble.
Our governors are agents of darkness who will know the truth and refused to say it, just for the sake of money.
Our governors and those at the Federal levels are using Nigerian as a business, they see us as their shops.
They never care what happened to an ordinary Nigerians.
All they care is how much they make since their family and children are over seas.
At the beginning of the year God told us that 2021 is a year of many many surprise's and that is what we are seeing today.
But i have a warning, to our leaders, that if they refuse to change from their evil ways, their wickedness, God is going to send Angel of death against them as a judgement to the whole matter.
God is the one causing the trouble in Nigeria.
Let our leaders repent or they can carry what is about to come.
Thanks for reading.

Welcome once again to yet another powerful month.
Month of June is the sixth month of the year 2021.
Like other months, June is prophetic and with a powerful prophecy of hope. Permit me to say that the program of God is quite different from the program of Man. As we are struggling, fighting, crying, praying, complaining, running up and down, searching for the way out of our situation and situations without hope, without help from both our leaders and the government.
Our God is busy working out something more great and powerful because, He who keeps Israel neither sleep nor slumber.
While men are playing God is working for the good of His children.
Though we are in the dark in a time like this, but watch and you will see the great hand of God proving His mightiness in the afairs of men.
Luke 1:26-38
[26]In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a village in Galilee,
[27]to a virgin named Mary. She was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of King David.
[28]Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!”
[29]Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean.
[30]“Don’t be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favor with God!
[31]You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.
[32]He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
[33]And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!”
[34]Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.”
[35]The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God.
[36]What’s more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she has conceived a son and is now in her sixth month.
[37]For the word of God will never fail.”
[38]Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” And then the angel left her .
Though you may think that you have come to the end of the road, but at this point i have a good news for you and what is that good news ? The good news is simple, you hardly meet God at the middle of the road or at the beginning of a journey but whenever you come to the end of the road where you don't know what to do, where to go, at the point where you accept your limitations then watch out at that you will see God.
Nigeria and Nigerian people has come to that point the point of no return. Watch out, for God is coming to settle the matter with Nigeria.
Repent, give your life to Jesus Christ today for there's no salvation in any other than the name of Jesus Christ. He is the only hope of all mankind.
Happy new month.

Your life is the reason why you are here and the real taste of life is not with you because life is given to you.
The real taste of life is with the owner of life. So, for you to have real taste of Life here on earth, it is very important for you to discover the source of your life.
Jesus christ is your source of life.
If you want to experience real taste of life here on earth, you must submit to him as your LORD and personal savour.
Remember, whosoever did not create you can not sustain you.
This life is sweet but the taste of the sweetness can only be seeing, can only be enjoyed in Christ Jesus or through Christ Jesus.
Give your life to Jesus today and enjoy the sweet taste of life.
Love you but Jesus died for you and I.
Have a great week ahead.

Welcome to the fifth month the year, 2021.
As usual ! Month of May is prophetic like every month of the year.
Let us see from the Bible prophecy what the month holds for us or what we should expect to receive from the LORD this month.
Jeremiah 28:1-17
[1]One day in late summer of that same year—the fourth year of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah—Hananiah son of Azzur, a prophet from Gibeon, addressed me publicly in the Temple while all the priests and people listened. He said,
[2]“This is what the lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will remove the yoke of the king of Babylon from your necks.
[3]Within two years I will bring back all the Temple treasures that King Nebuchadnezzar carried off to Babylon.
[4]And I will bring back Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the other captives that were taken to Babylon. I will surely break the yoke that the king of Babylon has put on your necks. I, the lord, have spoken!’”
[5]Jeremiah responded to Hananiah as they stood in front of all the priests and people at the Temple.
[6]He said, “Amen! May your prophecies come true! I hope the lord does everything you say. I hope he does bring back from Babylon the treasures of this Temple and all the captives.
[7]But listen now to the solemn words I speak to you in the presence of all these people.
[8]The ancient prophets who preceded you and me spoke against many nations, always warning of war, disaster, and disease.
[9]So a prophet who predicts peace must show he is right. Only when his predictions come true can we know that he is really from the lord.”
[10]Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke off Jeremiah’s neck and broke it in pieces.
[11]And Hananiah said again to the crowd that had gathered, “This is what the lord says: ‘Just as this yoke has been broken, within two years I will break the yoke of oppression from all the nations now subject to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.’” With that, Jeremiah left the Temple area.
[12]Soon after this confrontation with Hananiah, the lord gave this message to Jeremiah:
[13]“Go and tell Hananiah, ‘This is what the lord says: You have broken a wooden yoke, but you have replaced it with a yoke of iron.
[14]The lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: I have put a yoke of iron on the necks of all these nations, forcing them into slavery under King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I have put everything, even the wild animals, under his control.’”
[15]Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah! The lord has not sent you, but the people believe your lies.
[16]Therefore, this is what the lord says: ‘You must die. Your life will end this very year because you have rebelled against the lord.’”
[17]Two months later the prophet Hananiah died.
Fifth month call for carefulness.
It is a season when many fulse Prophets deceived many people in the name of God. Though they know that God never sent them. But because they know that such message of hope without God is what people want to hear in a time like this when they are confused about their lives, like we find ourselves in Nigeria today . Today there is a lot of prophecies in Nigeria, yet no solution to our problems both as a people and as a nation.
In conclusion:
In this fifth month Wait more on God than waiting on prophecy.
God is your father, He will answer you.
From me to you is;
Happy new month.

Happy new month and welcome to the month of April 2021.
April is the fourth month of the year and every month is prophetic in nature.
Let us see what is likely going to happen or what we should expect according to Bible prophecy in the month of April 2021.
2 Kings 25:3. And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
Jeremiah 39:2. And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up.
Jeremiah 52:6. And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
Ezekiel 1:1. Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
Zechariah 8:19. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
From these scriptures, you can see that the fourth month is significant in the program of God for man.
Is a time both bad and good things can happen in our lives, city, and even in our Nation in general.
It’s a period you can experience difficulties or challenges.
Is a time to build from nothing to something .
Is not a time to give up but a time to show leadership to the weak
It is a time of prayer.
Is a time to seek the face of God for direction.
A difficult time like this, is a time we prove God and His powers in our lives.
When you proved God, Celebrations then will follow.
Don’t forget that the LORD commanded that the fasting in the fourth month will be a fasting of joy and gladness, and of cheerful feasts which means “celebration”.
This means, that though the month started with problems or difficulties, there shall be a turnaround at the end.
For that reason, don’t allow the current situation to discourage you or cause you to believe that God has abandoned you or your prayers can never be answered again.

Fourth month is a period prayer is needed in order for you to receive the vision that will direct you out of your trouble and cause you to move forward and celebration in life.
So, in this fourth month seek God.
Because your heavens are already open and you will find answers to all that burdens your heart.
With joy I wish you a prosperous new month.
Happy Easter.

This is the Month of March another month of Surprises check out what happened in the book of Joshua chapter 10:1-9.Joshua 10:1-9
[1]Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua had captured and completely destroyed Ai and killed its king, just as he had destroyed the town of Jericho and killed its king. He also learned that the Gibeonites had made peace with Israel and were now their allies.
[2]He and his people became very afraid when they heard all this because Gibeon was a large town—as large as the royal cities and larger than Ai. And the Gibeonite men were strong warriors.
[3]So King Adoni-zedek of Jerusalem sent messengers to several other kings: Hoham of Hebron, Piram of Jarmuth, Japhia of Lachish, and Debir of Eglon.
[4]“Come and help me destroy Gibeon,” he urged them, “for they have made peace with Joshua and the people of Israel.”
[5]So these five Amorite kings combined their armies for a united attack. They moved all their troops into place and attacked Gibeon.
[6]The men of Gibeon quickly sent messengers to Joshua at his camp in Gilgal. “Don’t abandon your servants now!” they pleaded. “Come at once! Save us! Help us! For all the Amorite kings who live in the hill country have joined forces to attack us.”
[7]So Joshua and his entire army, including his best warriors, left Gilgal and set out for Gibeon.
[8]“Do not be afraid of them,” the lord said to Joshua, “for I have given you victory over them. Not a single one of them will be able to stand up to you.”
[9]Joshua traveled all night from Gilgal and took the Amorite armies by surprise. Mark these important or key words. 1) The Gibeonites never keep quiet at the time their enemies are out against them. 2) Do not be afraid of them, " the lord said to you," for I have given you victory over them . 3) Joshua took them by Surprise. So, when you pray and remove fear there must be victory. And that victory will certainly come by Surprise. The month of March is a month you must pray for there many victories
