Overcoming the Fear of the Future—Becoming the Answer (Part 3)

Once you find the kingdom within, everything shifts. But it doesn’t stop there.

Because God didn’t just place His kingdom in you so you could keep it to yourself. No—He put it there so you could release it. Manifest it. Become a living, breathing expression of heaven on earth.

You were never meant to blend in—you were born to stand out.
You weren’t created just to survive—you were designed to transform the atmosphere around you.

But how?

By manifesting what’s already inside of you.

Let me put it this way: the kingdom of God is not a place—it’s an atmosphere, an experience. It’s the rule and reign of God flowing through your thoughts, your words, and your actions. It’s heaven’s reality becoming visible through your human life.

That’s why Jesus said, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.”
Not just in theory. Not just someday. But through you. Now!

Every time you choose faith over fear, you’re manifesting the kingdom.
Every time you speak life instead of negativity, you’re shifting the atmosphere.
Every time you walk in love, extend grace, give generously, speak boldly, or move in obedience—you’re becoming the answer someone else is praying for.

That’s not hype. That’s identity.
You’re not powerless. You’re not random.
You are an ambassador of the King.

But here’s the secret: you can only release what you’re full of.

So the real question is: What are you full of?
Fear? Doubt? Anxiety? Or faith, peace, and vision?

Because what’s in you will spill out when life puts pressure on you.

So if you want to live boldly…
If you want to become a light in a dark world…
If you want to silence the voice of fear once and for all…
Then you must choose daily to stay connected to the kingdom within.

Let the Spirit of God refill you, reshape you, and reposition you. Let His Word renew your mind. Let prayer become your power source, not just your panic button.

And here’s the beautiful truth: you don’t need to have it all figured out to start.
You don’t need to see the full picture.
All you need to do is say yes to God’s leading.

That’s when the impossible becomes normal.
That’s when miracles start to happen.
That’s when the fear of the future is swallowed up by the fire of purpose.

You’re not here by accident. You’re not reading this by coincidence.
There is more inside you than you’ve dared to believe.
And the world is waiting—for you to show up.

So the question is no longer "What will the future bring?"
The question now is:

What will YOU bring to the future?

Because when you walk with God, the future isn’t something to fear.
It’s something to create.

Overcoming the Fear of the Future—Unlocking the Treasures Within (Part 2)

So what does it really mean to seek first the kingdom of God?

Most people hear that phrase and imagine something far-off, religious, or untouchable. But Jesus was clear—“The kingdom of God is within you.” That means what you're looking for... you're already carrying!

The peace you crave, the answers you seek, the provision you need—they’re not out there somewhere. They’ve been planted in you all along.

The problem is, we’ve been trained to look outward. We chase validation, we chase security, we chase predictions about the future—forgetting that the Source of all wisdom and strength lives within us.

God didn’t just place His kingdom in you as a nice thought—He did it so you could live from it. Think about that!

So, seeking first the kingdom of God means:

To prioritize your intimacy with God over the panic from the world.
To rely on divine wisdom instead of depending on your own understanding.
To discover the treasures and gifts that God has put inside of you instead of running after mundane things.

You begin to live differently. You start walking in authority, not anxiety. You don’t chase—you attract. You don’t beg—you believe. You don’t break under pressure—you rise in purpose.

So, the idea is: you have to be willing to go inward.

And that can feel uncomfortable at first. The noise of the world is loud. The demands of life are overwhelming. But inside you is the sanctuary. The holy place. The meeting point between you and God. And once you start spending more time there—everything changes.

You begin to receive instructions that don’t make sense to your natural mind but unlock doors no man can shut. You find ideas that come out of nowhere—but somehow answer everything.

You start walking in rhythm with divine timing. And you begin to notice: the fear of the future starts melting away. Not because the world has changed—but because you did.

You tapped into something deeper. Something higher. Something greater.

You found the kingdom.
And now... you're walking in it.

But there’s still more. You’re not only called to live in the kingdom, you’re called to manifest it.

In the next article, I'll discuss how to unlock and release the power of God’s kingdom through your everyday life. God bless you!

1. Supercharge Your Faith: 7 Proven Ways to Transform Your Faith Life

Kindly drop your comments here:

Overcoming the Fear of the Future (Part 1)

Let’s talk about something many of us silently wrestle with—the fear of the future.

With all that’s happening in the world—wars, tariffs, political instability, threats of economic recession, rising debts, increasing responsibilities, and so on—it’s easy to feel a tightening in your chest.

Perhaps, you’ve even woken up in the middle of the night, your heart pounding, wondering: What will tomorrow bring? What will I do? Who will help me?

I understand. The fear of the future thrives in uncertainties. It feeds off questions that seem to have no answers. And the future, to the natural mind, is what they say—no one knows.

But here’s the turning point—what if you know the One who knows the future? What if you trust the One who not only holds time in His hands but crafted your life with intention, purpose, and focus long before you took your first breath?

When that truth settles in your heart, something powerful happens: your mind becomes calm, your soul becomes steady, and fear has no room to stay.

The Lord—the Creator of all things—designed you, knows you, and has promised to make all things beautiful in His time. Nothing takes Him by surprise. Not your fears. Not the chaos in the world. Not even your doubts.

Take a look at this scripture:

“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?”

“Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?”

“Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?”

“And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:”

“And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”

“Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field… shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?”

“Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?”

“…for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.”

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself…”

Imagine that!

I want you to let that scripture sink in. Read it again. Let it whisper peace to your stormy thoughts. If God takes such delicate care of the birds and the flowers—creatures that hold no great value as you—how much more will He take care of you?

But here’s the secret:

He said “Seek ye first the kingdom of God…”

That’s the priority. That’s the divine strategy. Seek ye first the kingdom of God. But where is the kingdom of God?

It is in you!

Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is not here or there. Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” That is powerful!

Everything you need to thrive, to navigate tomorrow, to overcome, to build, to rise—God has placed it in you. The instruction, the wisdom, the strength, the resilience, the clarity—it’s all inside.

So, tune out the noise of the world and tune in to the voice of the One within.

When you understand this… when you begin to draw direction from within instead of desperation from without… everything changes.

The fear of the future no longer controls your narrative. Panic gives way to purpose. You stand strong, planted in faith. You become unshakable, unbreakable, and unstoppable.

And then—you don’t just survive the future...You shape it. You manifest the glory of God.

So the question now is:

How do you really start seeking the kingdom of God?

I'll discuss that in the next article.

Why Investments Are Not Safe in Africa

Have you ever wondered why investments are not safe in Africa? Have you wondered why businesses are not thriving on the continent?

Many people have complained about their investments—that they are not doing well and their businesses are failing—with many bad dealers and swindlers.

People complain "everybody back home is a liar. Nobody is trustworthy. They are all liars. Everybody just wants to take your money and run away. Nowhere is safe."

"Investing in Africa is not safe, and many of our people are not ready to change. They just want to bring down your business and see you fail." I hear these a lot, and I’ve experienced some of them.

So, let’s unpack a couple of things.

We have problems with our investments back home because we have not dealt with the most fundamental issue which is the lack of investment in our people. In my last article, I discussed why we should invest in our people. You can read the article here.

Africa has the most lowest human development index in the world at 0.5, compared to 0.9 in many advanced countries. We invest in everything except our people, and we have seen the repercussions over the years.

There are more and more destructions of businesses and investments. There are more and more breakages of trust and love between friends, families, and partners. These are not done by demons, they are done by humans.

The bad economy in our continent has pushed many of our people to become perpetual liars, which many of us outside the country don’t want to understand. All we want to do is to invest in business and buy properties.

But that’s not working, and it won’t work until we first invest in our people. If you truly want a big return on your investment, then you should consider investing in people. I know this may sound ambitious and idealistic, but it will surely yield the right fruit.

There are many issues that are happening every day in Africa that show things are getting worse. Anything can happen to your investment at any time.

I’ve heard stories of people who bought properties and everything burned to ashes. Businesses were looted, shops were ransacked. Investments worth millions of dollars were destroyed by hoodlums. Nowhere is safe because we’ve not started with the right investment.

Our people are really lagging behind. We still have a long way to go. There is still a lot of work to be done. We can’t just jump at making money while we’ve forgotten about our people.

For many of them, abnormality has become normal. They need a reorientation, a mindset change, and even an opportunity to do things on their own and give them the support, education, and enlightenment they need.

I once talked to a young man who said even if he becomes the president or governor in Africa today, the first thing he will do is steal money from the government coffers. I asked why. He said "because that’s what everybody does. Everybody is a thief, and nobody really cares about anybody. Everybody is selfish and greedy."

That is what he has seen for many years, and it is what has now become a norm for him. So, he won’t do otherwise. He said "even a newborn knows that." I was shocked to hear all that. I know corruption has penetrated our system, but I didn’t know it has gotten to that level.

These are issues we need to deal with. While I’m not saying everybody is a criminal, I’m saying we have a lot of work to do. And we can’t just relax and focus only on our own business and investment. We need to solve our human problem.

Lots of our youths are getting involved in different inimical activities because there is nothing else for them to do.

What will they eat? What will they wear? Where will they sleep? Nobody cares about anybody. Everybody is just living in a jungle. We need serious attention. We need to invest in our people. The little we’ve started doing, we need to do more.

We know our people, when given the right opportunity, they do well. They thrive and succeed.

We have some of the most hardworking people in the world. We also have some of the most talented and brilliant people in the world, but because of the economic and financial hardship in the countries, many have become scavengers and predators.

They have become ruthless and heartless. They don’t mind what could happen to others, inasmuch as they can feed. They believe the system has failed them.

I say we must turn the tide and start making the right investment.

We don’t really have to start doing much before we start seeing results. The little we can do will go a long way. I encourage you to start with what you have. Help someone.

If we all focus on doing one thing at a time, we will be shocked at how much progress we are going to make on our continent. We will be amazed at how much peace and tranquility we experience in our land.

We will see a massive return of our values and virtues as Africans. We are some of the most loving and accommodating people in the world. We will see more friendship, brotherhood, togetherness, progress, development, and so on, if we are more concerned about our general welfare, not just only about our personal prosperity.

While I'm not saying we shouldn't pursue financial freedom for ourselves or become rich, I’m saying we should keep our people in mind and support human development, because that is what will bring lasting prosperity in Africa.

And I hope our politicians and elites will stop the selfish mentality so they won’t pass down the wrong ideology into the minds of the younger generations.

I believe with our efforts and investments, things can change—and they will. Let’s keep supporting ourselves and embracing the change we need. I see Africa moving forward and making meaningful progress. Cheers!

Why We Should Invest In People

A few days ago, I was talking with someone, and he was telling me about the state of the nation in Nigeria. He said a lot of people have lost trust and hope in the country, and everyone is just trying to survive and make ends meet. I couldn’t agree more. The gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider every day, and it seems like the problem isn't going away anytime soon.

More and more people are drowning in poverty, while the elites and politicians ignore the cries of the poor.

But here’s what I want to say—if we ever dream of having a good future for our continent, we must invest in our people. Many wealthy individuals focus only on acquiring properties, both at home and abroad, while neglecting the people. But how can our nations develop without investing in the people? That should be our number one priority!

If our continent is drowning in poverty, with so many people facing various challenges, then we must first find a way to solve these problems—not just buy more properties. I understand that everyone wants to take care of their families and build wealth for future generations.

But how can you build wealth for the next generation when the current one is suffering? It doesn’t work that way. We need to invest in the people we see today—not just the unborn generations—because it is those we empower now who will shape the future we desire.

We have many youths who are unemployed and roaming the streets. Why can’t we help them, one by one? Why can’t we start with the little things we can do? I say this must be our priority. It must be our number one focus.

We have many problems—so, which one will you choose to solve? Do you want to start an educational program? Or maybe a food program? Which area do you want to focus on? There are so many areas: physical, mental, emotional, psychological, social, academic, health, spiritual—you name it.

Our people are going through so much. Instead of thinking only about yourself and your family, think about others. Before you buy properties or hire security guards to protect your home, invest in people.

I know to some, this may sound like a messiah mentality, but I truly believe this is what we must do if we want to build a better future for ourselves. The best and greatest investment we can make on our continent is in people. That is the only secure investment that will yield the greatest return.

I love what I saw in El Salvador. I’ve shared that example before on my blog. A nation that transformed from one of the most dangerous places on earth to one of the safest countries in the world—brilliant! And the simple secret? Investment in people.

A few individuals believed they could turn things around and make their nation the best on earth. And today, El Salvador is thriving economically and in many other areas. This is what we can do on our continent too.

We see so many of our people dying every day—what can we do to help? No help is too small. You can do something now. Even helping just one person matters. If each of us did that, it would go a long way. One by one, we’ll keep growing, expanding, and making an impact. We can’t leave the burden on the government alone. In fact, we are all part of the government. The direction we want society to go—that’s the direction it will take.

Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t make other investments. I’m saying our people should be our priority. That is our greatest and most important investment.

Look for someone to train. Look for someone to help. Don’t focus only on yourself. Volunteer and support others. This is how we serve our continent—and people will appreciate you for it.

If you can share valuable information to help someone, do it. If your support can come in other forms, go ahead and give it. Nothing is too small or too big. Every help, every bit of support, every act of assistance is needed at this point on our continent.

Here’s another important point—we must think long-term. It’s not just about solving temporary problems, but about offering permanent solutions. And yes, it all starts with one step. So, let’s start with just one thing.

I call on our fellow Africans in the diaspora to continue investing in our continent. I know many of us are already doing a lot—let’s create more awareness among ourselves. Let’s keep investing in our people. Let’s educate and enlighten more. Let’s keep offering help and assistance, and I believe our continent will do great things. Together, we will continue to move Africa forward.

God bless you.

The Danger of Silence – Crushing the Business of Religion in Africa (Part 3)

Another area where I think many of us have been silent in Africa is the area of religion.

Many things have gone wrong, yet we remain silent. Jesus is a commodity that is now selling fast in Africa, and everyone wants to have their own shop. Everyone must open their own business center (church) and brand it in a way that will be attractive to the customers (members).

I know that, as Africans, we are a spiritual people. I’ve discussed that many times on my blog. But here is what you must understand: religion in Africa has now become a business, and it has been grossly abused!

Abuse of anything is not good. Water, as important as it is to our body (making up more than 60% of our body weight), if abused, can take your life. Even food and air can do likewise. So, balance must be maintained in everything.

In Africa, because of greed and the bad economy, many of our people have ventured into the business of religion, taking advantage of the bad leadership and poverty in the land. They give false prophecies, swindle people, and coerce them into giving money in the name of God.

Now, the name of God is a good bait to swindle and manipulate people. And of course, because many people are gullible and don’t know the truth, they fall into the trap of these wolves, who get rich at their expense. They milk them dry and leave them empty, plunging them further into poverty.

This is a major menace in our society, and it must be quickly eradicated before it gets out of hand.

Some people would say, “Don’t judge the pastors. Don’t castigate anyone.” But this is foolishness. How can a responsible leader avoid accountability and transparency? They want to use God to cover everything up while they feed on their members to become rich.

I don’t know why it’s only pastors and G.O.s who are receiving God’s blessings in Africa. I don’t know why they are the only ones buying expensive cars and private jets.

If God is truly God, why is He so partial in blessing people? Why can’t He bless everyone?

Oh, someone might say, “Because pastors are more anointed,” or “Because they have more faith.” That must be a fallacy!

The last time I checked, God didn’t bless people based on who is more anointed or has more faith. The richest man in the world is not the most anointed. Everyone who comes to the Lord receives miracles through their gift of faith, which everyone has received.

So, there is no special form of faith that one must have before they can receive blessings from the Lord. In fact, everyone is already blessed.

This is just another manipulative strategy to deceive people and make them believe that God blesses some people more than others, making God appear partial or discriminatory.

The truth is that the religious industry in Africa has become corrupt. It has become an element of shame and reproach.

Pastors and G.O.s are rich, while members are poor—just like politicians are rich while the masses are poor. And in fact, some of the religious leaders have become partners with the politicians, allowing them to be corrupt and rob the masses.

It would be bad enough if these wolves were not feeding on their prey. But no, they go ahead and collect the little their members have, still promising them that God will bless them. I don’t know why it’s taking God centuries to bless people.

Africa must wake up from this stupidity. This is a pure scam!

We must reject the false messages that many religious leaders are selling to us. While they are getting rich and fat, the members are getting poorer and hungrier. This will not work, and it is unsustainable.

This is not the church that the Apostles started. It is not the church that our Lord Jesus Christ ordained. This is the church of mammon and demon. It is the church of selfishness and greed.

I tell the pastors and G.O.s to stop this evil, or else they will be judged!

I see Africa getting liberated from the shackles of religion and spiritual slavery.

The Devil’s Mission to Destroy Men

Have you noticed the Devil's mission on men? Have you seen how he's waging war against them worldwide? Many men are silently suffering from challenges that only few acknowledge. They have been insulted, distrusted and perceived as irresponsible.

Men are dying in wars and incarceration. They face ridicule and shame. Many are jobless and hopeless. They are bullied, intimidated, and disrespected. In some places, men are treated as third-class citizens, ranking below women, children, and even pets.

Men endure hardships they rarely speak about. They bottle up struggles too heavy to bear. When women face challenges, society expects men to step in and help. But when a man is in crisis, who stands up for him?

People often say, "Be a man!" But how can a man "be a man" without support? Everyone needs help at some point in life. It is crucial that men receive the assistance and encouragement they need.

Today, many young men lack vision and direction. They feel lost, confused, and frustrated with life. Some become the subject of ridicule due to their struggles and mistakes. Without guidance, they fall into destructive patterns, bringing shame to themselves and their communities.

The world is full of crises—economic, social, marital, psychological, and emotional. Good jobs are scarce, and the future seems uncertain. Men face relentless pressure from families, partners, and endless financial responsibilities. The average man struggles his entire life, harboring stress and emotional burdens, sacrificing himself to make others happy while neglecting his own well-being.

For many, the weight of life’s struggles has become unbearable.

The devil’s strategy is simple: he wants to destroy God's foundation on earth. So, he corrupts a man’s mind, and leads him into making poor choices. Then, frustration sets in. He starts misbehaving—perhaps he abuses his wife or girlfriend, engages in crime, or falls into addiction.

Eventually, he is caught, imprisoned, or even killed. If he avoids crime, the overwhelming pressures of life may drive him to take his own life.

Recently, we have seen a troubling rise in male suicides due to societal pressures.

Men are dying in wars. They are perishing in conflicts. When men disappear, families break apart. When families break, children go untrained. When children go untrained, criminals are raised. The very foundation that God established is being destroyed. That is the devil’s plan—he seeks to ruin men, steal their vision, break their spirits, and strip them of hope and dignity.

Look at what happened in the Garden of Eden. The Devil came to the woman even though he had the man in mind. He deceived her and used her to destroy the man. It's the same playbook. He uses different indirect attacks on men, making sure he strikes them where they least expect it.

But now things must change. We must rise. It's time for God's people to intercede for men in prayer—to call upon the God of Israel to restore men, to reignite their visions and dreams, to revive their purpose and destiny. It is time for men to be restored to their rightful identity, value, and honor.

Recently, I watched a documentary about prisons in El Salvador. I was shocked to see hundreds of thousands of men behind bars. They were labeled as gang members who had committed terrible crimes.

When some were interviewed, they expressed deep regret, saying they did not truly understand the weight of their actions at the time. But now, many of them face life sentences with little hope for redemption—unless a miracle happens!

Some revealed they had joined gangs as early as 11 years old because they had no fathers—only their mothers. And then it became clear to me: This is exactly what the devil wants. He aims to destroy families by removing fathers, leaving boys untrained and vulnerable to crime. This is his ultimate agenda—to destroy men from childhood.

But with our prayers and counsel, the devil has already lost! The Lord is ready to answer our prayers and grant us wisdom to counter the enemy’s schemes. Together, we will win this battle and put the devil to shame, in Jesus' name!

God bless you!
