Mental health specialties appear to be winning, because everyday we get a new tag for a previously untagged behaviour. Some of which are just ordinary misbehaving that one slap or two can cure, but we just name them and offer them therapy. Bills must be paid.

@NKanichi Had a similar experience. Lost my job & business. A brother claimed he could pray on my behalf. His team will do the prayer and fasting for me, but I had to pay. I asked what the money was for. He said it was to buy things to close the fasting each day. I shock.

When I was younger, there was this aunty who had a woman who "prays on her behalf". The woman would come, aunty would list out her prayer requests and the woman would request for money for materials. This went on for years, because aunty had a particular issue she needed a

I am an external auditor with one of the Big 4 firms in the UK. Nothing prepares you for that level of demand for your time, attention and effort. It is BUSYYYYYYYYYY. Work can stop at work, but it often doesn’t. You also get to manage multiple audit engagements with various stakeholders. And by some miracle, hope and pray that you do not drop the ball with any of them. The default is: You are set up to fail. The best outcome is: Fail modestly enough to continue to progress in your career. That is the deal. So, by default, I AM TOO BUSY. That is not cliché, that is the fact. But when I found my purpose, to mentor and coach career professionals, I became ‘NOT TOO BUSY’ to create my purpose. I would scrape any time I could find to: ☑️ Create videos ☑️ Write Long-form posts ☑️ Build the ‘Ore Bukola’ team ☑️ Design products & services ☑️ Manage my paid community ☑️ Build an online brand, etc. I AM NOT TOO BUSY to create my purpose. I would wake up earlier than all the activities and limitations life put in front of me. I would sleep later than the active hours of my limitations. I cut down on drama, doomscrolling, invitations and just about anything that would use up my energy, and I focused on what matters. And in 3 years, I have built a profitable brand I am proud of while maintaining my demanding job. You have the time to create your purpose. If the purpose is strong enough, the time appears.

@GbengaWemimo I agree totally!

I have seen so many outrageous miracles this year. It got to a point, I went numb and quiet The Lord Jesus did some things that if i tried to explain them, I would most likely succeed in reducing the supernatural to the mundane. I am grateful Lord, your power is alive in Me!

@Ihunanya_chi Thanks for sharing. A lot to learn

Title: The Parable of the Ten Virgins Explained Through Jewish Wedding Culture Matthew 25:1–13 I actually touched on this parable of the ten virgins in my previous article titled “I Go to Prepare a Place for You,” where I also went into detail about how Jewish marriages work and the different stages. In this article, I won’t go into all those details again, but if you haven’t read “I Go to Prepare a Place for You,” I highly recommend checking it out in the highlights on my page. **Now, grab your popcorn and let me take you through the parable of the ten virgins! The Parable of the Ten Virgins is one of the most serious and sobering teachings Jesus gave about readiness, waiting, and the kingdom of heaven. Many people read this parable as a warning about the end times, but without understanding Jewish wedding culture, its full meaning is often missed. Jesus was drawing directly from a wedding tradition that every Jewish listener understood very well. When this cultural background is restored, the parable becomes clear, logical, and deeply personal. In first-century Jewish culture, weddings were not like modern weddings. They were communal events that followed a well-known pattern. After the betrothal, which was legally binding, the groom would leave the bride and return to his father’s house to prepare a place for her. This preparation could take months or even a year. When everything was ready, the groom would return to take the bride to the wedding feast. The exact time of his return was not announced in advance. Even the groom did not choose the day on his own, the father decided when the preparations were complete. Because of this, the bride and her attendants had to live in a constant state of readiness. The wedding procession often happened at night, accompanied by music, shouting, and lamps. Young women, often referred to as virgins or bridesmaids, were responsible for waiting with lamps to join the procession and escort the groom to the feast. Their role was not optional. If they were unprepared or absent, they would miss the celebration entirely. Jesus begins the parable by saying that the kingdom of heaven is like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. This immediately signals to a Jewish audience that the story is about covenant expectation and readiness. All ten virgins were invited. All ten were waiting. On the surface, all ten looked the same. This is important. Jesus is not contrasting believers with unbelievers in the obvious sense. He is describing people who are all part of the wedding community. The difference appears in their preparation. Five are described as wise, and five as foolish. The wise virgins take oil in their vessels along with their lamps, while the foolish take lamps but no extra oil. In Jewish culture, oil was essential. A lamp without oil was useless. Oil also had strong symbolic meaning throughout Scripture, often representing the presence, work, and blessing of God. To carry a lamp without oil was to carry an appearance of readiness without the substance needed to sustain it. As the story continues, the bridegroom is delayed. This detail is crucial. In Jewish weddings, delays were normal. The bridegroom would come only when the father declared that everything was ready. Jesus is teaching that waiting is part of the kingdom experience. During the delay, all ten virgins become drowsy and fall asleep. This shows that the issue is not about human weakness or momentary failure. Sleeping is not condemned in the parable. What matters is what they had prepared before the delay. At midnight, a cry goes out announcing that the bridegroom is coming. Midnight emphasizes surprise and urgency. This was common in Jewish wedding processions, which often happened late at night. The virgins wake up and trim their lamps. At this moment, the foolish virgins realize their problem. Their lamps are going out because they have no oil. They ask the wise virgins to share, but the wise refuse, not out of selfishness, but because oil cannot be transferred without all lamps going out. In spiritual terms, readiness cannot be borrowed at the last moment. The foolish virgins go out to buy oil, but while they are gone, the bridegroom arrives. Those who are ready go in with him to the wedding feast, and the door is shut. This language of a shut door is deeply Jewish and covenantal. Once a wedding feast began, the door was closed. Late arrivals were not admitted, not out of cruelty, but because the celebration had already begun. When the foolish virgins return and plead for the door to be opened, the bridegroom responds, “Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.” This statement does not mean that he is unaware of their existence. In Jewish relational language, “to know” implies covenant relationship and approval. The bridegroom is saying that they are not recognized as part of the prepared bridal party. This is one of the most sobering aspects of the parable. The foolish virgins were close to the celebration. They were invited. They were waiting. They had lamps. Yet they missed the feast because they were not truly prepared. Jesus is warning against relying on outward association, religious appearance, or last-minute urgency without genuine readiness. The oil in the parable has been interpreted in various ways, but within Jewish and biblical symbolism, it most naturally represents the inner spiritual reality that sustains faith. It points to a living relationship with God, obedience, perseverance, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Whatever the precise interpretation, the main point is clear. Preparation must happen before the moment of arrival. There are no emergency substitutes in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus ends the parable with a direct command: “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” This fits perfectly with Jewish wedding imagery, where the bride waits in expectation, knowing the groom will come but not knowing exactly when. This teaching connects directly with John 14, where Jesus speaks as a bridegroom preparing a place and promising to return. It also connects with Revelation, where the marriage supper of the Lamb completes the story. The Parable of the Ten Virgins is not meant to produce fear but seriousness. It is a call to live in continual readiness, not through anxiety, but through faithful preparation. Jesus is not warning against ignorance of dates but against spiritual complacency. The tragedy of the foolish virgins is not that they did not know the groom was coming, but that they did not take preparation seriously. In Jewish culture, to miss a wedding feast was a deep shame. In Jesus teaching, to miss the kingdom is an eternal loss. This parable reminds us that the kingdom of heaven is not entered by proximity, familiarity, or appearance, but by a prepared heart that endures through waiting. The groom will come. The invitation has been given. The delay will test what is real. Only those who have prepared in advance will enter the joy of the wedding feast. Jesus calls His listeners, then and now, to live not merely as invited guests, but as a ready bride.

@GbengaWemimo Great lesson!

CHEZEV: Visions Of The Head It is not unusual for a Christian or even an unbeliever to feed information or a statement of problem into his mind or his head, go to bed and sleep over it and then in the middle of the night see a vision or have a "dream" about the same information or vision and wake up with a unique thought or a solution or a decision about the problem he or she went to bed with the previous night. For example, a King in the Bible called Nebuchadnezzer had a huge palace where he met with his chieftains and vassals daily When he meets with these people, they discuss strategies regarding rulership, administration, and internal issues affecting his kingdom, as well as external issues like warfare, diplomacy, information from his network of spies relating to moves being made by his rivals, and so on Some of these discussions lead to immediate resolutions, while some will end up being pended while the king mulls over what to do about them. It is no wonder kings end up having dreams relating to their kingdoms, which inevitably guide them on what steps to take and what steps not to take when they wake up from their slumber Pharaoh had the same experience when he dreamt about the lean cows swallowing the fat cows and the thin ears of corn swallowing the fat ears of corn. In the typical fashion of dreams, what was seen was an imagery that could almost be easily discarded or abandoned by the seer, but the emotions that come with such visions are so profound that when the seer wakes up, he or she knows an action has to be taken on the matter due to the level of distress felt by his or her soul. In simpler terms, a man may meet a lady, like her and begin to talk to her. he might even begin to contemplate marrying her. Then he goes to bed and sleeps While sleeping, he sees a dog eating a bone, and out of nowhere tiger appears and begins to chase the dog until the dog drops the bone and hides in a house. He wakes up sweating and scared He feels as if he was the dog and the tiger would have killed him if not for the bone he dropped and the safe place he found where he hid his head Naturally, it would have been a dream he would dismiss because it looks like a scene from Tom and Jerry but due to the deep feelings of danger and escape it had on him, he wouldn't dismiss it. He would somehow connect it to the lady he met, whom he was thinking about He wakes up and sends her a message "Are you in a relationship you didn't tell me about? Are you married? Are you in a situationship? Are you hiding anything from me that I ought to know about?" The lady sees his message and most likely will reply, "Yes, I am married, but I am now separated, or my husband is abroad, or I have a man who wanted to marry me and is obsessed with me, or something in that manner. The man then tactically withdraws from his pursuit of this lady. If the lady asks him a million times what she did wrong or why his interest began to wane, he would not be able to offer a logical explanation. He just knows that pursuing her will expose him to danger. That is the Chezev Vision. Another example, a man got an invitation from an old friend to attend a party in another state. He and the old friend had not seen each other in over fifteen years He received the news with excitement, bought his flight ticket, packed his bag, and was prepared to embark on the journey the next morning. Then he slept, and he saw himself at a loan shark's office He was asking for a loan, and the loan shark asked him to provide his collateral After the discussion, the loan shark told him how much he was willing to give him for the collateral provided, and he got excited about the funds He got home, and the debt collectors working for the loan shark showed up at his house out of the blue, broke down his door, and began to cart away his property. He stopped them and told them he had not collected the loan, and they had no right to take away his properties. They dropped his properties and said, "If you take the loan, this is what will happen to you and your properties." He woke up deeply shaken by the vision and immediately decided not to travel to the party anymore. You can ask yourself what this dream or vision had to do with the party. On the surface, the two will appear unrelated, but somewhere, deep in the heart of the dreamer, he knows that the dream was a warning for him not to attend the party or continue the friendship in any form. In the book of Daniel, from chapters 2 to 7, we see the Chezev vision in many forms. This does not mean every dream has a meaning or that people should regard dreams as nothing more than a reflection of human reality through a mirror of the subconscious. A Chezev vision or a vision of the head is not just any dream or vision. It is a premonition or the awakening of the soul to possible consequences that will come with certain action, especially when such an action could lead to deep consequences that might affect the future or destiny of the individual. Chezev is not a spiritual insight or a reflection of someone's spirituality. In some cultures, it is referred to as "the sixth sense or an intense feeling of discomfort or impending danger." People usually have this vision, dream, or sight when they are worried about something, mulling over something, excited about something, or about to take a crucial decision, or even when they are failing to take a crucial decision which may affect their lives and destiny. A man won a visa lottery and began the process of gathering funds by selling off all his properties in a bid to travel abroad. He slept and saw himself walking on a farm until he came upon an abandoned anthill. In the vision, he was very disturbed because the anthill was full of activity just a few days before when he saw it, but now it was just a lifeless shell. He woke up in tears. The next day, he resumed work at his place of business and announced to everyone he would not be traveling again. People were shocked He said he just knew he would have lost everything by the time he returned from his journey. Remember that in the scriptures, the vision is accompanied by an intense emotional engagement that troubled the individual. In the Book of Esther, it said "The King could not sleep all night", the Book of Daniel, it said the King was troubled. In the book of Genesis, it was said, "Pharaoh had a dream which troubled him." Not every dream troubles the soul A Chezev is not about what was seen per se; it was more about the intense emotions and a strong warning signal that cannot be easily shaken off by the one who has it. Finally, a Chezev is a soulful dream or vision. It is not an indication of being spiritual or claiming "God talks to me through dreams" as many do today. PS: If this class is well-received with likes and reposts to my satisfaction, I will teach about Chazon (Visions of the Spirit) as seen in Daniel 8 and 9, and Marah Vision as seen in Daniel 10. PSSBC School 27 students, discuss this in class and share various experiences on your WhatsApp group relating to the Chezev vision and your personal experiences. Almost everyone would have experienced this dream or vision either before they became born again or after. The late Nabeel Qureshi; had a Chezev vision that led him to Christ while he was a muslim. -GSW-

@BukkyOA How about Queen's English?

I am a polyglot. I speak three languages. English Pidgin-English and Yoruba. Don't even argue with me 🤣

@mikeachimugu01 How about all these humanitarian organisations? NGO is about business. I hope they can beam their searchlight on all of them.

This video offends me greatly. I think that the relevant agencies MUST monitor ALL orphanages consistently, not just when they receive complaints. As a matter of fact, let all orphanage homes go through a sort of reform phase, like banks, and be re-certified only if they meet the standards. I find this highly vexatious. Kudos to the Public Complaints Commission for acting. I hope it is not too late.

@mikeautoplug The devil malfunctioned. In their realm, it is not sin but malfunction.

What's “Never Give Up” in Igbo?

@GbengaWemimo Thanks, teacher, for this piece. The truth is that a lot of people are trapped in this kind of trauma. I guess this is what they need to heal and to have a closure. Knowledge is key

Breaking Trauma’s Stronghold Met a lady a few years ago She said she goes everywhere with a condom in her bag I asked her why She said that while she was somewhere in Ogun State for NYSC, she took a bike from one location to another During the ride, the bike man veered off into the forest, pulled out a knife, and told her to take off her clothes She said there was no point in fighting or screaming She did as she was told and prayed the bike man won’t kill her afterwards She said when the man was done, he jumped on the bike and left her in the forest She found her way back to the city The only fear she had was getting pregnant or catching an STD She said she got to the hospital, got her system flushed, but still had to wait for two weeks to be sure she was in the clear It was the most anxious two weeks of her life She said she would rather not go through that again So she got some condoms and put them in her bag so that if she ever found herself in that situation again, she could beg the rapist to please use it instead of putting her through that stress again I felt pretty bad that a rapist could have that kind of power over someone, even after the deed had been done I asked her if she believed that the Holy Spirit could give her closure on the issue She said she believed So we prayed. I asked the Lord to bring the rapist to Justice and please do it in such a manner that the sister will know it. A few days later, my sister called me and spoke about a TV show on crime She said she was cooking when the show came on, and some criminals were being paraded One of them was a rapist, and he confessed to raping people using his motorcycle What convinced her that the rapist was the one captured was her ID card, which they found on him This was seven years after the crime. She asked me what I think she should do I told her we would go to the TV station and ask the reporter to help us with the location of the rapist We went to see the reporter She told us all we needed to know Then we went to the police station and were allowed to see the criminal He recognized her immediately! He started begging for forgiveness and asking her not to show up as a witness against him in court She looked at him and laughed. That was the end of her trauma She walked out of that station with her power and dignity completely restored All the things she had to adjust her life to accommodate due to fear and trauma were solved She had moved back to her parents’ house, taken up a teaching job close to her parents’ house, and was afraid of going anywhere alone or at night Within a year after she got closure, she had moved to Abuja, gotten a job with an NGO, and was able to go wherever she wanted whenever she wanted. She got free of trauma not by “die by fire” prayers, which are totally ineffective, but through the power of the Holy Spirit and the wisdom of God applied in the form of making her confront her fears and gaining dominion over them. I know another young man who has an aunt who sexually molested him for years as a young boy One would expect that after many years, he would have forgotten all about the sexual molestation and moved on, but this was not the case Because the boy’s aunt was big in stature, he would suddenly have panic attacks whenever he found himself in close proximity to ladies who were very big in stature Whenever any lady became nice and friendly towards him, he became suspicious and would not welcome any gesture of friendship His friends noticed his hostility towards women who were just being friendly towards him and told him he was overreacting in his response to them He never knew how bad it was until a lady in his office came to whisper something in his ear while he was sitting behind his desk, inside his cubicle He didn’t see the lady coming, and the huge body mass of the lady made him feel as if the lady was trapping him and leaving him without a way of escape from his cubicle He began to hyperventilate and found it difficult to breathe He had to be rushed to the hospital When the doctor eventually got around to talking to him, he was told it was all in his head, and physically, he was okay and shouldn’t have had such a severe reaction to anyone coming into his personal space He decided he would have to conquer whatever it was so that he wouldn’t be embarrassed the way he was again by his psyche He asked the Lord to heal him in the place of prayer The Lord showed him a picture of him, lying on top of his aunt in a bathtub, who was stark naked, while the aunt was encouraging him to suck her breasts and put his hand in the most intimate part of her body He remembered clearly that his aunt was always bathing him or bathing with him when he was young, and most of the time, the things he did with his aunt were unprintable He also remembered that they were caught one day, and the person who saw them was livid with anger and promised to report what he saw to his parents Before his parents returned from work that day, his aunt had packed all her clothes and books and fled without saying goodbye The emotional attachment he had with his aunt and the sudden abandonment then caused him some deep emotional damage, which he didn’t even know was there Once he realised the cause of the issue, he was able to consciously work on it through prayer, making his declaration and talking to his body. When you see how traumatic experiences ruin some people’s lives, you will understand how powerful trauma is and why you have to heal from it in order to live a life devoid of fear. Two young people met and wanted to get married The man had an abusive father who terrorized his mother and the children all their lives The lady had been raped several times by cousins and uncles and was a mess by the time she clocked eighteen Their relationship was affected deeply by both their backgrounds, and they had to break up after only two months of being together When the lady approached me for help and shared what she had been through in life with me, I decided to have a conversation with the young man After speaking with the young man, I came to the conclusion that neither of them was fit to have any form of relationship until they had exorcised the demons they were both battling within. If you are traumatized as an individual, either from domestic violence, living with people with anger issues, toxicity and sexual violence of any kind, don’t just sweep it under the carpet Your best therapist is the Holy Spirit Find the time to sit with him and have a heart-to-heart conversation He will heal you completely and repair every form of damage to your psyche and mind PS: If you need help, please reach out to me via DM or on WhatsApp 08072744871 -GSW-
