I watched my Elder brother run mad before my eyes. I remember, darkness was in my family and when you get to the age of twenty-one, it’ll fall on you. Our eldest brother got to the age of 21, he became Schizophrenic.

The second one got to the age of 21, she stepped on something at the university of Jos, and her right leg became two times as fat as her left leg.

The third-born became 21 and he had an infirmity that doctors could not diagnose.

I watched my immediate elder brother run mad before my eyes and it was at 21. And I knew that I would be visited by the devil at the age of twenty one. So I learnt how to pray; not just in the morning, but also at night.

Let me tell you something: Witches keep time. Necromancers keep time. Warlocks keep time. And when a true warlock tells you “You Will See”, they mean it. They will come after you, it might be after nine years later, but they’ll definitely come. They’ll look for you when you’re weak and vulnerable.

I was to celebrate my 21st birthday, and it was on campus. I was running to the Prayer room because we had this prayer time from 12 Midnight to 1:00 AM. That’s why it’s not good to be late for prayers, I was late, and on my way, I had an encounter. That day I was alone, and this bird, an OWL appeared, wanting to stand on my head. I used my hand to hit it, but it just went backward, it didn’t fly away, it just moved backward.

Then it occurred to me that it was the bird that plagued my brothers. I tried to fight in the flesh and the bird wanted to change to something else. Then the Holy Ghost whispered to me “Fear is a luxury tonight”. It means ‘You will die if you fear this night’

So, to avoid not getting afraid, I closed my eyes and spoke in tongues in capital letters. When I opened my eyes, one of the wings was broken, so it couldn’t fly again. I dealt with that bird and left it there and went for prayers.

Three days later, the last among our ancestors that had refused to die, came out of his house and stood by the doorpost, fell and faced the wall, and died.

Peace came to my house and the death stopped. My younger sisters, at 21, nothing happened to them.

The Scripture says that the Ernest Expectation of Creature waiteth for the MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD.

The bo***ge of corruption, the plans of the wicked and the activities of darkness will continue to survive in a life, family and territory until a son of God arises because darkness prevails in an environment where there's no priesthood.

17/02/2026

Everyone is chasing the "front-end" right now. We want the blue checks, the viral clips, and the global stage. We are obsessed with influence, but we have ignored the infrastructure. It is like trying to run a high-end application on a crashed operating system.

In the world, they say, "fake it until you make it," but in the Kingdom, that is a death sentence. You cannot scam your way into spiritual authority.

The Backend Reality
Listen, believer: influence is not about how many people follow you; it is about Who follows you into the room. If the Holy Spirit is not your vantage point, you are simply making noise.

We have seen leaders at the top tumble because their private lives could not support their public weight. Your secret place is your "backend." If that code is buggy—if there is compromise, pride, or hidden sin—the system will eventually crash.

The Radical Shift
Stop trying to influence men when you have not been influenced by the Holy Spirit. Holiness is not a boring lifestyle; it is a power move. It is the legal ground that gives you the audacity to command territories.

Repent of "packaged" Christianity. God is not checking your aesthetics; He is checking your alignment. If your heart is impure, your influence is a facade.

The Raw Logs
"The world does not need more 'celebrity' Christians; it needs more consecrated ones. If you are not burning in secret, you are just a decoration in public."

"You want the crown, but you are dodging the cross. Influence without holiness is just an ego trip."

"Do not let the applause of men deafen you to the silence of God. If the backend is weak, the crash is certain."

"Holiness is the currency of the Spirit. You cannot buy global impact with a counterfeit life."

The Climax
At the end of the day, it all boils down to the blueprint. If you want to be a person of influence, you must be a person of the Presence. The Master gave us the ultimate requirement for lasting impact:

"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." — Hebrews 12:14

Any man who believes he cannot submit to authority should not be in the church. He should go to the football field instead. Because if it is a church, the authority of Jesus resides in that place. Only men who recognize that the authority of Jesus is present should be a part of it.

I am not the kind of preacher who expects everyone to be a member of this church. No. However, anyone who remains must recognize Jesus and His authority here. That is how we become a single unit and how we can fight as one man. If you do not recognize the authority of Jesus in this place, look somewhere else. Do not stay. We do not want you just to add to the numbers.

Watchman Nee taught us that anyone unwilling to identify with the authority that drives the local church should not be allowed to participate in it.

To be completely honest, we have spent too much time trying to make the Gospel polite and have ended up making it powerless. In this heavy-hitting session, Evangelist Kesiena Esiri rips the veil off our religious comfort zones.

The Kingdom of God is not a "come as you are and stay as you are" party. It is a jurisdiction. It is a government. And the truth is, the Kingdom has standards.

The Hard Truth
The King is not looking for fans; He is looking for subjects. We want the benefits of the palace while living like rebels in the streets. You cannot claim the crown while hugging your idols. If your Christianity does not have boundaries, it is not the faith—it is a hobby.

"God is not a democrat. He does not take suggestions on how to run His world. You either align or you are out."

The Heart Cry
Stop playing church. It is time to stop the spiritual identity theft—claiming a name you do not live by. The door is narrow for a reason. It is not about being inclusive of sin; it is about being exclusive to Christ.

* Repent: Not just for the "big" sins, but for the arrogance of thinking you can negotiate with the Almighty.
* Surrender: Total means total. 100%. No side deals with the world.
* Discriminate: Start separating what is holy from what is merely "cool."

"If Jesus is Lord, He is Lord of all. If He is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all."

"The Kingdom has a DNA, and if yours does not match the King's, the system will reject you."

"We are tired of smooth preaching. We need the fire that burns away the dross!"

There is no way you can know a friend intimately if you do not spend time with them. I was once given an employment that took me away from home, and for eleven years, I was not with my family. When I finally returned, I did not know my wife, and my wife did not know me. My own son saw me and called me “uncle,” and I am not even joking—this happened in real life. He looked me in the face and said, “Uncle, how are you doing”

I realized then that I was losing something precious. So when I resigned and returned home, I came back humble. I tried to befriend my wife again and discovered that she liked jokes; that was how I became a jester for the sake of my home. It took two years to get my family back.

Even with the wife you married, if you leave her and travel to Atlanta saying, “I am going for work,” you will lose that home because you refused to abide. You think you are chasing the dollar, but when you grow old, you will realize what truly matters. You will need someone to hold your hand, but if you have not invested in love and affection, you will not find that commitment. I have seen old men before and heard them whisper their regrets to me.

That is how I cultivated my relationship with Jesus. I set a specific time and said, “Lord, this time is for You; I am looking for You.” I began to speak in tongues. If you do that consistently for nine months—the same length as a human gestation period—He will begin to speak back to you. The problem is that the average believer does not want to explore God. You want to explore relationships, the world, Delta, American Airlines, and Spirit Air, but nobody wants to explore God.

•••
The same way my own kid called me ‘Uncle’, that's the same God's ways will be strange to you even as a Christian.

Spending time in fellowship with the Lord is not optional—it is the lifeline of the believer. A life without intimacy with Him leaves the heart dry, decisions flawed, and the soul vulnerable to deception.

Without His guidance, even service to God becomes hollow, and blessings turn into burdens. True strength, wisdom, and peace are born in the quiet moments spent seeking His face. Guard your time with Him, for it shapes every aspect of your life.

The greatest way to sow a seed for a glorious relationship is to find people in pain, when they are at their lowest, invite yourself and be there for them. I'm showing you how to secure a spot in their future. When you find someone crying, let your handkerchief be part of that which clean their tears. They will never forget you no matter how wicked they are, and if they do, God will remind them.

Never find people downcast and in pain and waste the opportunity of sowing into their lives. The man who can wipe someone's tears today can get a house tomorrow for wiping tears. With a 100 Naira handkerchief, a word of encouragement, saying a prayer genuinely for people who are in pain, you can become part of their success story.

Don't wait for people to rise before you know them, it's harder that way. Find people who are rising and help them rise, it's cheaper that way.

You can help a woman with Fifty thousand Naira for her son's school fees, after fifteen years, you find out that the child is now appointed as ‘Commissioner of Justice’, then someone wants to take your property, it doesn't matter if they're right or wrong, there's an investment that was done 15 years ago, that seed you sown will be the reason for your victory.

Life is not fair by default; you make it fair by engaging the mysteries of the kingdom.

There are people today, it doesn't matter if they're dead or alive, their children will never cry and beg because they had invested in the rising of too many people.

Powerful 😭

I live with eighty five children and ten mad women. Eighty five children that do not have fathers, I am their father. They all bear my name—Omolehin. If anything happens to me, it means that the lives of eighty five children is at stake. So God has to specially look after me because of them.

I met armed robbers on my way to Okonle, they put us in a row and were robbing us one after the other. When it got to my turn, the gang leader looked at me and said “Sir, are you not the one taking care of motherless children”?

I didn't know he knew me and what I do. I said “Yes, Sir”, and he said ‘Weldone, in your own case, go!... NEXT!’

If I knew I'd receive more blessings from that than I am getting from my evangelistic movement, I'd have started it ten years before.

Compassion comes with it's responsibilities and needs. The good Samaritan who took the wounded man, he had some money to commit to that compassion. If you have compassion that isn't funded, it's frustrating. It's very costly. But if that's what you choose to do for God, He'll provide.

You can't be doing my kind of job and be poor. Eighty Five Children!

THE PATH TO UNDERSTANDING THE LANGUAGE OF THE SPIRIT.

God designed a specific habitat for man. Just as fish were ordained for water and plants for the earth, man's domain was Eden. Eden was not merely a garden; it was an embassy, a vital interface between the natural and supernatural realms. Man's success depended entirely on his ability to connect and commune with the Divine. When man fell, he lost this vital link, and our modern struggles—even with the highest intellectual achievements—are a symptom of having "absconded from Eden."

Therefore, the work of the believer is to return to this "Edenic environment," which is accessible anytime and anywhere—even in your bedroom—by establishing the primacy of your inner man.

The Sanctity of the Heart and the Secret Place

The intersection where God conquers and interfaces with us is the human heart. This is your altar, and all your dealings with God must rise from this platform. To protect your access to the divine nature, you must fiercely guard your heart, fighting to keep your spiritual alignment intact.

This leads directly to Jesus’ powerful instruction: "Enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut the door."

The "closet" is not a physical space; it is a profound metaphor for a highly personal, even idiosyncratic, arrangement with God. The act of "shutting the door" is spiritual warfare. It is the deliberate, forceful exclusion of all externalities—your to-do list, your paycheck, the anxieties of your day—to achieve a singleness of focus on the activity within your spirit. Until this door is shut, you will remain distracted and in confusion.

Conquering Anxiety and Engaging God

The first major obstruction to deep communion is anxiety. Jesus commanded us: "Take no thought for your life... for your heavenly Father knoweth what things ye have need of."

If God already knows what we need, then prayer is not an act of information; it is an act of alignment. Anxiety is a demonic whisper that takes advantage of your human insufficiency, presenting defeatist scenarios to your mind until you surrender without a fight. The accurate response to any situation beyond your capacity is prayer.

When you pray, God’s initial response is often not to change your circumstance, but to minister His peace—a peace that surpasses all human understanding. This peace acts as a spiritual barricade, guarding your heart and mind from the manipulation of anxiety. The spiritual victory is often secured because prayer changes you first, allowing you to stand unphased before a situation that was once overwhelming.

The Language and Currency of the Spirit

To effectively engage a God who knows, you must approach Him on His terms, which are two-fold:

1 .... By Faith: God is obsessed with being believed. The only way you can impress Him is to come with audacious faith, regardless of what your senses report. Faith is the substance—the spiritual weight and assurance—that confirms the things you hope for are already existing in the realm of the Spirit.

2 ..... By Kingdom Agenda: Your prayers must align with His will. The highest form of prayer is not to plead for personal needs, but to be an agent of His purpose: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness." When you are disciplined in this, the very things the Gentiles chase—provision, clothing, food—will automatically navigate into your direction, for you become fully funded to execute His assignment.

The time you spend in the secret place is a crucial investment, not a waste. It is where you are fortified, where you gain spiritual wisdom and strategy, and where God will reveal the secrets that secure your destiny.
