Coming to Terms

I was in the boarding house in the 
90's when I was first told of the 
rapture.
 There was this babe in my class 
She was beautiful and busty! 
She was also the assistant class 
captain 
My secondary school journey started 
from Loyola College Ibadan, an 
all-boys secondary school where all 
you see are green knickers and green 
checkered shirts all day! 
No skirts, No blouse, no pinafore
Just brawns and bones
No softness and flesh
I hated that school 
I was an academic disgrace in 
that school 
My father was baffled at my
 performance from day one 
He couldn’t believe his son, the 
brilliant one who cleared prizes 
throughout primary school had 
suddenly become a dunce. 
It was the sea of knickers!
I didn’t know how to tell him at 
the time 
I hated the all-boys thing 
There was no motivation to stay 
in class and concentrate 
I used to leave school by 1 pm and 
walk to Ikolaba Grammar school 
(about three kilometers away from Loyola)
I will wait for them to close and walk 
into the school just to look at all the 
fine girls 
Some of my primary school friends 
attended Ikolaba Grammar School
One of them, Bimpe Oyewola, was my 
crush and I had to see her every day 
So I suffered academically and barely
 managed to get promoted to the next 
class. 
My father threatened and begged 
Nothing worked I even became worse 
I started stabbing classes 
All the Nuns and Beautiful teachers 
were of no help to me 
Eventually, my father changed my school 
to Olivet Baptist High School Oyo!” 
The school was mixed
There were girls 
Glory!!! 
My academics picked up immediately 
It was magical, even to me 
Girls are divine!
By the end of my first term in Olivet,
 everybody took notice! 
I was the best student in Economics, 
Biology and Geography 
I was also the lead debater! 
It was time to get myself a babe but 
Titi Laniyan was born again! 
It was like the Lion and the Jewel 
I wanted the babe and she was
determined to give me Jesus 
If I ask to see her after school hours, 
she would ask me to meet her at the 
students fellowship where all they 
seemed to talk about was rapture 
and Holy living before singing 
“Ijoba Orun le’re onigbagbo o...” 
I like the song but I thought they 
were being foolish! 
The Bible wrote expressly what will 
happen in the last days 
To my mind, this means such a thing 
will never happen again! (At least not
word for word or as scripted)
Mark of the beast? 
On the forehead or wrist? 
For real? 
No buying or selling unless you have 
the mark! For real? 
It made no sense 
I was too intelligent
I couldn’t fall for such nonsense 
But Titi was convinced it will happen 
She would say to me 
“Jesus is coming soon! 
All these things you are looking at will 
become meaningless! 
All sinners shall perish! 
Kai! 
It was her defense against my love! 
I used to listen to Celine Dion a lot
I had lyrics to unload But that babe 
and her Jesus were Terminator like 
They didn’t allow the deliberately 
crafted honey tongue of mine to 
deliver its poison! 
As soon as I started talking and she 
began to smile 
As soon as she sat and began to sway 
to my lyrics 
Jesus would interrupt 
Gbam!
That was 1996/97 
I eventually forgot about Titi and 
her Jesus 
I dated Lola Oyenuga 
My lyrics made magic with her 
Then the world changed! 
First it was BVN 
Those without it were not allowed to 
register for JAMB or carry out any 
banking activities! 
I told people it was very logical
As I woke up this morning it suddenly 
dawned on me DigitalID has also 
became logical now 
I was at Surulere yesterday for the 
GSW-CSR activities 
I had to mingle with people 
We took pictures People asked me if 
I was sure none of them had Covid-19 
Of course I wasn’t sure 
But I would have been very sure if 
they all had a tag on their head or 
arm to show me! 
I would have felt safe and 
“uncompromised” 
I would have been bold to post 
the pictures without expecting a 
backlash from the public 
Our defense from infection seemed 
to now depend upon our assurance 
that the other people we are buying 
and selling to or interacting with are 
not carrying dangerous viruses that 
we could take home to harm our 
loved ones. 
The chip and all it promised seemed 
very logical! 
Titi Laniyan was right 
The script was being acted out just as 
it was written
I had thought it would be too obvious! 
I was wrong! 
I became a born again Christian on 
September 27, 2007 
I was not Born in Christ out of fear of 
hell or missing the rapture 
I was born into eternal life by a 
divine encounter 
I was born ready for such a time as this 
I eagerly await and pray for the return 
of the Lord Jesus as He has commanded 
The time is quite short 
If you are still skeptical or thinking it is 
about religion at this time, 
I will urge you to please check out 
Revelations 13 
It is no longer about religion 
If the facts check out with the
reality you are seeing, please don’t 
be stubborn or defensive 
You don’t have to tell the whole world yet, 
they will know when you are proven right 
And if I am wrong, you would have lost 
nothing! 
So there is no harm in looking at the facts 
and doing the logical thing here! 
Right?
Just say this out loud for your own 
ears to hear you and believe it 
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner 
and I ask for your forgiveness. 
I believe you died for my sins and 
invite you to come into my heart and life. 
I want to trust and follow you as my Lord 
and Saviour”! 
Yes!!!

I am very willing to be an instrument of 
the Holy Spirit to prepare you for the 
snatching up of His own from the evils 
to come 
It has never been about religion, race or 
creed! 
It has always been about Life & Death 
When you chose Christ, you chose 
eternal life in Him
