The hearts and soul of America

The evangelicals in America called Obama the anti-Christ (because of his big ears) but call Donald Trump a Saint - can you imagine - an irony. They said Trump is like King Cyrus but Obama is the devil - they touted a conspiracy that Obama was going to implant Americans with chips as a fulfillment of the prophecy in the book of revelation - I asked them how many Americans were implanted with chips when Obama was president? Where is the fulfillment of the anti-christ prophecy because Obama is no longer the president of America so he cannot influence anything again. The Cyrus analogy is completely bogus. They draw a parallel between what Cyrus did by ending the captivity of Israelite in Babylon and liken the declaration of by Trump to move US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as an action similar to that of Cyrus - moving US embassy to Jerusalem means nothing in the dispensation of grace occasioned by the birth, death, and resurrection of Christ. The most important symbolic sign of the end time was the miraculous reformation of the nation of Israel in 1948 through a UN declaration. The God I know and serve is not an author of confusion - He would not use an ungodly man to orchestrate his plan - are there no more Levites in Israel that God would use an uncircumcised philistine to lead a change? I call him an ungodly man, not because of his past but because of his past and present - he is a BULLY in capital letter, his a liar in a thousand places, he is vindictive in every respect, he loves dictators (like Sisi of Egypt, Erdogan of Turkey, Duterte of the Philipines, Putin of Russia, even Kim Jon Un of North Korea - he displays open admiration for them) and wish he could be one and does not hide it (only God knows how much of the power of POTUS he has abused), he is alleged to have desecrated his marital bed in the house called White, he has presented himself as enemy of the weak and downtrodden by his stand on the minority who have been deprived for centuries in this country, he is cynical at every opposing voice, he is one you would not wish your child emulate - I do not know how many evangelicals would wish their wards turn out like Trump. I can go on and on. Under the dispensation of grace, how many ungodly men did God use to fulfill his prophecy, none? How can he then re-write the Book in 2018? I have said this before, the battle for the hearts and souls of America will not be won by lobbying politicians, it will be won on the knees of faithful Christians who would choose to pray and live out the love of God through raising their kids properly and being the example of a believer in thoughts, words, and deeds.

I liken the evangelicals who supported and continue to support Trump in America to Esau because they have sold their birthright to the devil for a piece of porridge. They failed where Jesus triumph because they have bowed down to the devil for what is already theirs. They have lost the hearts and souls of non-Christians because they cannot preach the gospel to anyone again and justify righteous living. It is sad, that this has happened to the Church in this great nation.

The church (over 80% who voted to elect Trump and are still supporting him) in America has lost its saltiness and has done the gospel of Christ a complete disservice. I liken them to Esau in their romance with an ungodly man in the White House.

STATE OF THE NATION - Nigeria takes one step forward, and ten steps backward...

I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...

WAR SERVES NO GOOD ENDING - AT LEAST, NOT FOR THE WEST

Warmongers are about to escalate the crisis in the Middle East . These people appear clueless about the cost of war. The U.S. Congress will not fund another war, including politicians on both sides. There is opposition to another war anywhere. They want to use brute force to compel Congress to act - they have amassed over 50,000 troops in the Middle East... They are miscalculating, thinking they can go in and come out quickly... they are underestimating their opponent again... The lesson of the last six weeks is not enough. This is another Afghanistan in the making - trillions was spent fighting the Taliban for almost 20 years, only for the Taliban to return the government they have propped up in just a few days of war... They pray (not sure, which god - not the God of the Bible I read, who under grace abhor wars) about going to fight a needless war; they are sending other people's children to go and die, while their own are safe under the protection of the state. Over 7,000 A...
