Fellow Nigerians

As we mark another Independence Day, let us not lose hope. Though challenges remain, our nation's greatness is not a myth, it is a possibility within

But it won't happen by chance. It requires *our collective effort* honesty in leadership, responsibility in citizenship, and unity in purpose.

Let’s rise beyond complaints and play our part. *Nigeria will be great if we all choose to build, not break.*

Happy Independence Day!

MY SECOND MISSIONARY JOURNEY-

I was sent back to this world to continue my earthly mission

Follow me down the memory lane

If not by the grace of God, today my pictures would have been everywhere in social media with the caption:
5 YEARS IN MIND

BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED

During the pandemic, we were restricted from going to church but we found an alternative. It is always a blessing to be in the midst of elders that journey vertically. During that time, one of our elders in the Renewal gave us an uncompleted building in his house to use for our fellowships.
IT WAS INDEED AN UPPER ROOM!

Part of My Ministry in the church is that of training the Youths especially on evangelism.
I used that opportunity to fix a training for the youths in my prayer group. The training lasted for some months.
The Lord kept on increasing our number. Lives were transformed. Out of joy for what the Lord is doing, I decided to celebrate that years birthday with them inside that uncompleted building

By the end of August, I noticed that my physical strength was diminishing but I paid no attention to it not until I could not stand for few minutes any longer.
To my greatest surprise, one of the students I was teaching asked me " Uncle you are not feeling fine, what is wrong with you? This girl is very observant, I muttered. I smartly told her that " nothing is wrong with uncle" BUT SERIOUSLY I WAS DYING

Taking drugs is one of the most difficult thing one will ask me to do. I hardly fall sick even if I do, I will take vegetables and enough water and everything will be settled. I have tried all I could but all to no avail. I had no other choice that to go for medical test
THAT IS WHERE THE STRUGGLE STARTED

I entered the hospital, after what seemed like a magic to me, the doctor told me that I need to undergo surgery. Blood of God! I shouted😁. I concluded that this doctor must be a fake one. He asked me: Are you ready for the surgery now or tomorrow? I told him that I am not ready. He prescribed some other tests which I did. All the tests showed that I am fit for surgery.
I LEFT THE HOSPITAL MORE CONFUSED THAN I CAME

How will I explain this to my sick dad? Well, I will go to Enugu tomorrow to confirm it. I told only my mom and my siblings. I hope this is not true. The pain became more excruciating. At night, it became unbearable that I told my younger brother that I feel like going to hospital that night ,but that was not possible. My next plan was to give him my account pin and other information they might need IN CASE I DID NOT STAY ALIVE TILL MORNING🤣🤣🤣

Thank God I stayed till morning.Very early in the morning on thursday 24th Sept, being afraid that I might die on my way to Enugu. I decided to go back to that doctor so that he will do the surgery. I told my father that I am going for a program because I don't want him to know the cup am about to drink😥(I feared it might make his own sickness worst) . He told me safe journey.

WHAT HAS COME UPON ME, I CRIED AS I MADE MY WAY INTO THE HOSPITAL 😭😭

Now, around 12pm I was led (like a sheep going to be slaughtered) into the theater. I was thinking it's gonna be a place with different kinds of sophisticated machine but I found a very big pot, a bed and a table, this made me happy small😁. I laid down on the bed, Lo and behold the pot was open! I saw things like "weapons".what are these for? I asked the nurses out of curiosity. They told me to relax.
HOW CAN I RELAX SEEING THOSE KINDS OF "WEAPONS"?🤦‍♂️

While on the bed, I remember that we are already in EMBER MONTH, I was afraid that these people might used me to catch cruise since they didn't allow my bro to enter inside😂😂😂. Finally, the doctor enter and said let us pray. That was the last thing I heard before I left this world
NOW THE JOURNEY TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD BEGAN 🤔

Immediately I saw myself in a very beautiful city with different kinds of houses with well secured doors. A man was taking me on a journey, showing me places but when I struggle to enter some rooms, he will use his powers to draw me back. I had a problem with people over there! they don't talk to me! Out of anger I told the man that he should have left me in the world where I understand their activities. He didn't reply but compelled me with his powers to keep moving.
BUT WHERE ARE WE GOING KWANU? THE JOURNEY WAS INTERESTING BUT I WAS CONFUSED

Finally the man decided to talk.
He told me to look up, I did but what I saw overwhelmed me. I shouted, Are you taking me to heaven? We started arguments.
I told him that I would want to enter into heaven but am sure I have not finished my earthly assignment

SHOULD I HAVE AGREED TO FOLLOW HIM?🤔

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I started giving him reasons why I shouldn't follow him to enter heaven. He didn't agree until I said, I KNOW I WILL ENJOY IN HEAVEN BUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE YOUTHS UNDER MY CARE, I NEED TO BRING MORE SOULS TO THE KINGDOM. IMMEDIATELY HE HEARD THIS FROM ME, HE APPROVED THAT I SHOULD GO BACK!

YES I CAME BACK FOR THE SECOND MISSIONARY JOURNEY!

Immediately I opened my eyes and saw myself inside the ward, no longer inside the theater. I couldn't fathom this, I ask my brother what really happened to me. He couldn't explain, because he too was scared. He told me he heard all that I was discussing with the man. I asked him which day that day was. He replied Friday. I remember that I entered theater around 12pm on Thursday🤔
AT THAT MOMENT MR HUNGER, RESUMED WORK😜

All i wanted that time was food before I will tell him exactly what happened. The last time I ate was on Wednesday night. He told me that I won't eat until I defecate. What for? I got infuriated. I nearly cursed him🤣🤣
He told me that it is the order from the nurses. Wicked nurses everywhere, I replied🤣😂

I pray earnestly for me to defecate but all to no avail.
NOW THE VOW😳

Seeing that I was helpless and hungry, I started counting the blessings of God, naming them one by one. It occurred to me that it is a blessing for one to be able to sit, stand and even defecate🤔

I CRIED WITHIN ME, LORD IF YOU SAVE ME FROM THIS CONDITION, I WILL SERVE YOU WITH THE LAST DROP OF MY BLOOD!

I had organized a vigil on that Friday night even invited a bro all the way from Abakaliki, it was like a dream to the youths. What on earth will make bro Fide to miss the vigil? Some started calling on phone but all I needed that moment was simply Food🤣 I was severely hungry.
During the vigil, the announcement was made. Then in the morning on Saturday, the hospital was flooded with my Brethren, with different kinds of foods but unfortunately I can't eat, I can't even sit or stand 😥🤦‍♂️
GOD SENT A SAVIOUR

I kept on disturbing, one nurse entered and I told her that if I died, they should be held responsible🤣🤣 she explained that I can now take Lipton. Eweee, I began to prophesy blessings upon her😂😂
Back at home, I can't take Lipton without enough sugar but now I couldn't wait... I grabbed the cup bent it towards mouth poured it into my mouth as if it was a hole.
NOW AM BACK TO LIFE!
IMAGINE, JUST BY TAKING ORDINARY LIPTON, KAI, THIS LIFE SELF🤦‍♂️

Am sure you now know why i should be very busy working with my heavenly father in his vineyard.

For this I was brought back, for this I will live for, for this I wish to die for.

SO HELP ME GOD

I want to appreciate in a special way those who took care of me during the six months of my helplessness.
My family members, my friends, the Catholic charismatic renewal members and all my well wishers. I will never take your supports for granted.
May God continue to bless you according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus
Amen

FIVE YEARS OF SURGERY SURVIVAL

THANK YOU JESUS🔥

There Are Certain Prices You Need to Pay at This Youthful Age — Financially Speaking

Youth is a season of energy, ideas, and ambition — but also a season where delayed gratification must become your closest ally if you ever hope to attain financial freedom. This is the time to pay prices that will yield dividends in your future.

At this age, you must resist the urge to spend to impress. Not every new trend is worth your money. Learn to differentiate between needs and wants. Building financial discipline early spares you from the trap of future debt and regret.

This is the time to save aggressively and invest wisely. Even small amounts saved consistently can grow significantly over time. Don’t wait until you “start earning big.” It’s not how much you earn, but how well you manage it that counts.

Avoid get-rich-quick traps and focus on financial education. Pay the price of learning — read books, take courses, ask questions. Understanding how money works is more valuable than just having money.

Lastly, build skills that will make you valuable in the job market or in business. Sacrificing momentary pleasures to invest in your personal growth now is one of the greatest financial prices you can pay.

Pay now or you’ll pay later — but with interest IN THE HARD WAY. Choose wisely.

How time flies

Thank you Holy Spirit for the journey so far

BE WISE
BE HOLY
DON'T BE POOR
BUT DON'T LOVE MONEY

Dear Esteemed Parents,

As we have stepped into the long vacation, I would like to share a heartfelt thought concerning your children and how best we can use this period for their overall development.

First, I deeply commend your commitment to your children’s academic success. Enrolling them in holiday lessons is a reflection of your dedication to their growth — and that is truly admirable.

However, holidays are not just a break from school; they are a precious opportunity for rest, renewal, and a different kind of learning. Beyond books, this season can be used to build life skills, foster creativity, and strengthen family bonds. It’s a chance for children to engage in meaningful activities like assisting in family responsibilities, exploring interests, or learning hands-on skills.

Instead of enrolling them in regular holiday lessons, I strongly encourage you to consider skill acquisition programs. Many centers now offer short-term training in areas like ICT, creative arts, fashion, baking, coding, public speaking, and more.

These skills not only complement academic knowledge but also prepare our children for a more competitive and dynamic future.

In today’s world, certificates are great — but skills open doors. They build confidence, creativity, and self-reliance.

This may not be a popular opinion among school owners, but I believe in guiding our children toward a balanced and practical foundation.

Of course, for students approaching key examinations, well-structured holiday lessons may still be helpful.

Let’s give our children the gift of rest, discovery, and real-world competence this holiday.

Warm regards,

FIDELIS LUMEN
