 October 20, 2020. I was at work by 4PM. I joked about joining the #LekkiTollGateProtesters  I told my WhatsApp contacts that i could trek to meet them. A friend and mentor advised me not to but i was torn. I wanted to go. We are fighting a good cause, I thought. We will be safe, I thought. Some of them were even holding Nigerian flags(following a fake rumour that they will be safe with the Nigerian flag). How wrong we've been proven. 7PM October 20, 2020, I was awake at work. I heard gunshots and sirens. I turned into @djswitch_ live to confirm what my ears where telling me. I thought I was watching an American movie as Nigerians fought for their lives on IG live. The government denied October 20, 2020. My ears and eyes can't. Will yours deny those that died #LekkiTollGateMassacre What the devil does not know is that we foresaw this a couple of years ago. We fasted and prayed for this CHANGE. The Veil, the devilish veil covering people's eyes is gone.  What next? You can...

Being a Woman in 2020 is:  Being called a person who menstruates. Being called a tree because; no child Being called a man because you’re decisive and self motivated Becoming a bread winner because hubby lost his job Being a humble Bread Winner to avoid being called a witch who cost her husband his livelihood   Saying NO to rape Saying NO to molestations Saying No to Female Genital mutilations Saying   No to unwanted affections Saying NO to harassments of all kinds Saying NO to domestic abuse.   Having to explain CONSENT Having no desire for sex at 18 Having to explain your passion for work and why you need to make a living Having a husband who prefers to live single while being married to you Having to explain your singleness in your 30s Having to explain being 40 and having no children   Choosing to live alone and being badgered for it Choosing comfort over savings Choosing to trek home rather than accept free rides ...

It is becoming difficult not to share the GOOD NEWS . In the midst of turbulent times, heartaches, heartbreaks, diseases, challenges and Revelation-written times, what are you living for? Lights went off in my office today and I needed an electrician so I called Baba Electrician. Baba Electrician has been my "go to" for fixing all electrical faults in my office for the past 3 years. I remembered calling him early this year and he told me he was sick and in the hospital so I kept my fingers crossed, hoping that he is well now, surely, and could fly down to my office, as usual, to fix the issue. The person who picked my call was not Baba Electrician. It was his wife, telling me that Baba is late. Baba was old but he was one of the hardest worker I have ever met. I told the woman on the phone that I did not believe her, of course, but she tried to convince me. He was ill and was taken to several hospitals to no avail. News of Baba is my third shocking new...

Canaanland, Easter 2019 God answers prayers. It has been a while since I wrote that I was struggling with my finances.  A lot has happened. The Waymaker surprised and has been surprising me. March ending 2020, it seemed like God was ignoring me. So, I did what humans do which was to assume that there was no other way but to pack my bags and baggage and leave the situation. The "situation" wasn't just no rent to live in Lagos but every avenue to borrow/get money from to settle my urgent bills was blocked.  I told my unrelenting landlady that I was leaving my accommodation so that she would give me breathing room. I also gave away some of my stuff. Preparing my mind for the "next step" which I thought was leaving Lagos for my home town. My family thought I was crazy to give up.  I went to my Cell Minister who told me "Jane, this is not the way forward. I understand the situ ation but let's wait to hear from God." So I wait...

Hi! I have a huge confession to make. I have been struggling with my finances. You might say that is normal but I do not see bad things or terrible situations like poverty as normal. His Word says that He will supply ALL my needs according to His riches in Glory so when my needs aren't met, I get troubled. The past couple of months have been weird. I made a couple of questionable decisions. Thankfully, I have been taught to stop looking for witches and wizards after my finances but search my self FIRST. So, I looked through myself and the decisions I have made and found many failings. #Shiloh2019 messages and ministrations have been helpful. I couldn't be on ground at Canaanland, Ota(due to work) but I connected Live via Youtube, Facebook and at my Zonal Centre, Marwa, Lekki during the Prophetic event last December 2019. The First night was impactful. Bishop David Oyedepo, as if he was speaking to me, asked us to check our righteousness and standi...

We were close to the pedestrian bridge when I saw them. 3 boys on the footbridge. It looked like they were in some kind of fight; 2 against one. Even more terrifying; no street light from the bus stop we came from to the next 3 bus stops. The last time I was robbed at the next bus stop at 6am flashed before my eyes. Picture from Google So, if you avoid them by running at this bus stop, how would you avoid them at the next bus stop, my conscience asked me. On we walked till we got close to the bridge and they noticed us. One of the boys started walking down. I eagerly pointed them out to my partner. “We need to go back” “Why?” he asked. “It is 3am and those boys on the bridge are coming down to meet us” “I don’t think so”. This fearless man answered. “Let me find a stick”. He started looking around him for a stick. I saw the second boy walk to the other end of the bridge and I turned back without waiting for my partner. “Wait now”. He called after me. “They c...

Hi! I am writing a book based on my last relationship.  I shared the news on Instagram and Facebook. View this post on Instagram I live an interesting, grace-filled life. I have had several DOA(Dead On Arrival) relationships. You know those(people) time wasters? I call relationships with them Dead On Arrival. I have been inspired to write about one of mine. It will be published for FREE on @okadabooks I will ofcourse, keep you posted 😉 #HappyHolidays #NewBook #Free #Author A post shared by Jane Chima (@janechima1) on Dec 16, 2019 at 11:39pm PST To be honest, I am hurt and disappointed but I think writing about it will make me feel better.  I am torn about the ending. Should it be sad or happy? As happy as I envisioned, wanted and expected it to be or should it be about the normal time-wasters - terrible end, Dead On Arrival relationship? Also, I still haven't decided on a title. I will share ...

My 32nd birthday. I've been reflecting and reminiscing. Most of all, I have been filled with gratitude to God. My family has been the best! They have made me forget my rebellious teenage years. Lol.  God has surprised me this year.  My sister- the inspiration behind  The Cry Of Ishmael , got admission to a state University, my brother got married , I even got to live close to work in Lagos!!!  I wrote a book! I've also started another book😉😉 all in 2019. When I was 20, I wanted to be married by year 25. I was a romantic, you see, but I knew and read enough to run from fake relationships and I did, many times. I made a covenant with God.  My body and brain followed through(only possible by God's grace), so tough that I run from "love" that is different from Agape.  I was even engaged  I have shared this before ,  at 20. I fell in love this year, a  prayer request in December 2018. He didn't do much but I'm glad I...

Cover for Amazon I am thankful to have published  The Cry Of Ishmael  on Okadabooks The book has also been published on Amazon . It has been a great year. I am dancing in expectation of what Double20(2020) has for me.

Dunsin Oyekan (Picture from his Facebook Page) Pastor Damilola, who was a Song Leader and a Music Director in my church, loves posting short clips of ministrations. While scrolling through Instagram a couple of months ago, I breezed past his post on  Dunsin Oyekan . I didn't check the post and so didn't understand his seeming obsession with this particular guy. I blessedly found out why, last Friday and how powerful  Dunsin Oyekan  's ministrations were at #NOW2019. During introductions, fellow worshipers would scream and call him BABA! Dunsin Oyekan  came on stage to a loud ovation. His ministration was powerful and indeed, life changing.  My favorite songs are Amazing God, Breathe, Open Up, If all I say is Jesus. These songs have refused to leave my head, heart and mind for days now. He also ministered with Pastor William Mcdowell. View this post on Instagram ...
