The office of the mother

Awake sleeping soldier

For the sake of the children

For the sake of the Nation

Awake awake!

Dear Mom, this one is an urgent, time-sensitive letter. Please read it to the end. So many things are happening in the spirit. I was on my own relaxing on YouTube when I stumbled on a channel, Zinny Glory, and two videos that inspired this newsletter. It's a severe matter but first, let me tell you about one amazing woman in the Bible. I'm sure you must have heard about Lappidoth's wife, Deborah. She was the first and only female Judge in the history of Judges in Israel. If you know how deeply patriarchal Israel was as a nation that year, you'll understand how much of a big deal this was.

God raised a woman like you and me, to lead the whole nation and she was so effective in her role that the general commander of an Army will not go to war without her. Kabayaaa! I wrote about her extensively in my book, the birthing. The question we should then be asking is - how did she get here? Why was a woman appointed as a judge at this particular time in Isreal’s history? The song that she and Barak sang about the victory God gave them after they won the battle against Sisera gives us more insights.

"Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day saying, ‘For the leaders who took the lead in Israel, for the people who volunteered [for battle], bless the Lord! Hear, O kings; listen, O rulers! I will sing to the Lord,

I will sing praise to the Lord, the God of Israel. Lord, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the field of Edom, the earth quaked, the heavens also dripped. Yes, the clouds dripped water. The mountains quaked at the presence of the Lord, yes, this Sinai, at the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel.

In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were deserted, and travelers went by roundabout ways. The villagers ceased to be; they ceased in Israel until I, Deborah, arose. Until I arose a mother in Israel" 

(Judges 5:1-7,AMP)

I strongly believe that Deborah was chosen to become a leader because, amid her job as a wife and a prophet, a strong sense of compassion for the people and a burning desire for the deliverance of Israel rose within her. And she took responsibility. She decided to take responsibility for Israel and to care for the nation like a mother. It was in that posture of responsibility that God anointed her as a judge to lead and provide the Nation of Israel with motherly protection.

What am I trying to say? God has given any woman who desires to see her community, city, or Nation rise, a template to draw from. Deborah was not just a wife and a judge, she was also a prophet but it wasn't her prophetic office that delivered Israel. It was the office of motherhood. 

Like I always say, motherhood is a door opener in the spirit. Every woman who is or who will potentially be a mother has an enormous capacity to birth not just children but cities, villages, states, economies, industries, and nations. I am telling you that the deliverance that Nigeria and Africa need today will require young mothers, old mothers, stay-at-home moms, single mothers, and working mothers, who will rise for their communities and take charge of their territories. Will you step up and take responsibility? Will you arise as a mother in your home? Your street? Your community? Your city? Your state, and your nation today? 

How to shape History through prayer and fasting.

My heart was burning within me because I knew that what I was hearing was true. I thought about myself and I could attest to the fact that I hadn't been praying as I should have for my beloved Nation, Nigeria. Have I had occasional times of prayer both personally and corporately? You bet. But on listening to these men of God, I realized that it's not enough. There was truly a prayer deficit and that's why I believe that the posture the saints must take in this season is prayer.

I know that you’ll often hear people say, “We've prayed enough” but is that true though? Have the right people prayed enough? There's a reason why Abraham was given to us as the model for interceding for nations (Remember Sodom and Gomorrah). It is the prayers of a righteous man that has great power and wonderful results.

I believe that every Nigerian who identifies as a child of God should be fasting, praying, and interceding in this election week. Intercession is not necessarily long prayers or 40 days of prayer and fasting for the new year. It's about the person and the heart that is carrying a burden to see the will of God done in the lives of people, communities, nations, and the church. Instead of spending all day on social media campaigning, can we spend time interceding for the fulfillment of the destiny of our beloved nation? If you don't know what to pray or how to go about it or you don’t want to do it alone, check out this post on Twitter to find communities you can plug into.

As I was writing this post, I decided to take a break and chill on YouTube. The first video I saw was of Joseph Okechukwu and he was confirming everything I've just shared in this post and much more. God is speaking with a megaphone. I hope you can hear him. Please check out the videos here.

The children of Israelites were supposed to be in slavery for 400 years, but if you read Exodus 12, you will see that the period they were in Egypt was 430 years.

400 years can become 430, 450, 475, and even 500 years if the right people do not stand up and take responsibility. May that not be our portion in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Oracle of Omaha

If you know anything about business and investment, you should know who this person is. The Oracle of Omaha was the name with which Warren Buffet was referred to by the international media because he is an accomplished investor & his international conglomerate firm as well as his home are based in Omaha,

He was born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1930. Buffett is the second of three children born to Howard and Leila Buffett. Buffett’s father, Howard, was an investment broker and a four-term Republican congressman, who moved the family to Washington, D.C. in 1943. After his family moved to Washington, D.C., a 13-year-old Buffett took a job delivering The Washington Post. He later worked at the investment firm of his mentor, Graham, for two years in New York, before returning to Omaha to start his own investment company, called Buffett Partnership in 1956. He's been there since then.

The longtime chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and investing icon is still going strong with a career that’s stretching toward seven decades and a net worth of more than $80 billion that made the nonagenarian one of the world’s wealthiest individuals.

I’m sure you are wondering why I'm talking to you about Warren Buffett. The gist here is not so much about the man as it is about the title, the oracle of Omaha

Who is an oracle? According to dictionary definitions, An oracle is a priest or priestess that acts as a medium through whom advice or prophecy was sought from the gods in classical antiquity.

  • a divine communication or revelation. any person or thing serving as an agency of divine communication.

  • An oracle is a person or thing considered to provide wise and insightful counsel or prophetic predictions, most notably including precognition of the future, inspired by deities.

"But you are not like that. You are a special group of people that God has chosen. You serve God like priests. You are servants of God, the King. You are his own special people, who obey him completely. You belong to God himself. He has taken you out of the dark place of sin, and he has brought you into his great light. He has done all this so that you can tell people how great he is.”

1Pe 2:9 EASY

An oracle is a priest. I believe that God is looking for oracles. He wants to make you an oracle, a priest over territories and industries. If you research a bit more about Mr. Buffett, you’ll see that what he represents in Omaha is beyond what the articles are saying. Oracles are territorial commanders with hidden knowledge and divine purpose. We need oracles in Enugu, Abuja, Lokoja, Chibok, Makoko, Osun, Ebonyi, Toronto, Middlesbrough, New York, etc.

I pray that we will rise as a people invincible, an army indefatigable, and patriots of this great nation called Nigeria (Insert your country). I pray that we will secure our position, circle our mountains, guard our territories, restrain the force of evil, resist principalities and powers, and take this land as priests unto our God.

Father, let the believers commissioned wake up from slumber and rouse awake as lions stirred. Make us unstoppable and unbreakable O God and help us to win this war that we were born to win for your glory in Jesus’ name. Amen🙏Rejoice at the Birthing of a new Nigeria. The time has finally come! 🙌🙌🙌
