MY INHERITED LAND HAS BEEN TAKEN, AND MY HEART IS BROKEN! Today, I speak with a pain that words alone cannot express. Terrorists have seized my inherited farmland and shared the plots among themselves as though the land never belonged to my family. Can you imagine working, sacrificing, and holding on to the inheritance of your fathers, only to wake up one day and discover that strangers have taken possession of everything your ancestors left behind? This is not just about land. It is about history, family, identity, survival, and the inheritance of generations yet unborn. What have we done to deserve this? Must we abandon everything our fathers left for us simply because we are afraid for our lives? Must our children grow up without knowing the land their grandparents laboured to preserve? I am a servant of God, but I am also a human being with a family, a history, and a heritage. How long must we continue to watch everything we own disappear before our very eyes? If terrorists can seize our farms and divide our inherited lands among themselves, where is the security of the ordinary Nigerian? Who will speak for the helpless? Who will protect the inheritance of those who have no power to defend themselves? I ask the world today: If this were happening to your family, would you remain silent? If someone seized the inheritance of your children, would you simply walk away? I am not asking for sympathy alone. I am crying out for justice, protection, and the right to live peacefully on the land that belongs to us. As Psalm 24:1 declares, "The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof." We will continue to pray, speak, and seek justice. Our inheritance should not become the reward of those who terrorise innocent people. How many more families must lose their ancestral homes and farmlands before the world decides that enough is enough? May God remember the suffering people of Nigeria. Amen.

IF YOU FEEL LEFT BEHIND BECAUSE EVERYONE YOUR AGE SEEMS TO BE DOING BETTER, PLEASE READ THIS WITH AN OPEN HEART. My beloved, sometimes the greatest pain in life is watching people you started the journey with move ahead while you are still struggling to find your feet. You see your friends getting married, buying houses, building businesses, travelling abroad and celebrating their breakthroughs. Meanwhile, you are praying, crying, struggling and wondering when your own testimony will come. Sometimes you smile in public, but deep inside your heart, you are asking God, "Lord, have You forgotten me?" Today, as a servant of God, I want you to remember these seven powerful truths. 1. GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU Just because your breakthrough has not arrived does not mean heaven has forgotten your address. Isaiah 49:15 says, "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast? Though she may forget, I will not forget you." My beloved, people may forget you, but God has not forgotten you. Your tears are not invisible before Him. 2. YOUR TIMING IS NOT THEIR TIMING Stop measuring your life with somebody else's calendar. God does not distribute blessings according to human competition. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, "He has made everything beautiful in its time." You are not a failure because your time has not come. Do not allow somebody else's testimony to make you question God's faithfulness. 3. DELAY DOES NOT MEAN DENIAL Some seasons are painful because you are praying for an open door while heaven is preparing you for the responsibility that comes with it. Habakkuk 2:3 says the vision is for an appointed time; though it tarries, wait for it. My beloved, do not abandon your faith because the answer is taking longer than you expected. 4. NEVER ENVY THE SUCCESS OF OTHERS Celebrate people even when you are still waiting for your own celebration. Romans 12:15 says, "Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn." Somebody else's testimony is not evidence that God has rejected you. There is enough grace in God for everyone. 5. YOUR PRESENT STRUGGLE IS NOT YOUR FINAL DESTINATION You may be broke today, rejected today, unemployed today or struggling to feed your family, but do not conclude that your story has ended. Job lost almost everything, yet God restored him. Job 42:10 reminds us that the Lord restored Job's fortunes. Do not bury your dreams because of the pain of today. 6. STOP COMPARING YOUR BEHIND-THE-SCENES WITH PEOPLE'S PUBLIC CELEBRATIONS You see their wedding pictures, but you do not know their private battles. You see their achievements, but you do not know the tears behind their smiles. Galatians 6:4 teaches us to examine our own work rather than comparing ourselves with others. My beloved, focus on the assignment God has given you. Your journey deserves patience, not condemnation. 7. NEVER GIVE UP ON GOD OR YOURSELF Even when you have prayed until you have no words left, keep trusting God. Even when your strength is failing, remember that God is able to renew your strength. Isaiah 40:31 says, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." You have cried enough. You have questioned yourself enough. Do not let disappointment steal the future God has placed before you. MY FINAL WORD TO YOU My beloved, listen to me carefully. You are not too late. You are not too old. You are not forgotten. You are not a mistake. The fact that your mates are celebrating today does not mean you will never have a reason to celebrate tomorrow. Do not rush into the wrong marriage because your friends are married. Do not enter into debt because your mates are buying cars. Do not abandon your dreams because somebody younger than you has succeeded. God's plan for your life is not a competition.
