THE HOMECOMING

I was in the boarding house in the 90s 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 school where all you saw were green knickers and green checkered shirts all day!

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 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 1pm and walk to Ikolaba Grammar school.

I would 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.

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.

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!

We had 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 asked 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 and sing “Ijoba Orun le’re onigbagbo o...” (The kingdom of heaven is the reward of the believer)

I like the song but I thought they were being foolish!

The Bible wrote expressly about what would happen in the last days.

To my mind, this means such a thing will never happen again!

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 would 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 and she began to smile, as soon as she sits and begins 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 Digital-ID has also became logical now.

I was at Surulere 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 which 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!!! 

Send me a DM
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 pick Christ, you picked eternal life in Him
