  • GROWING IN FAITH 2 – Pst. Ife Adetona

    GROWING IN FAITH 2 – Pst. Ife Adetona

    We started talking about why we must grow our faith
    From then, we discussed that faith is all round
    I emphasized that one may have faith in an area and not have faith in another area
    Then, we began talking about the ingredients of faith
    That is, those things that make faith faith
    You can also call them faith boosters!
    Every spiritual virtue starts with love
    If you don’t love God, you can’t grow in the faith that moves Mountain
    He says what eyes have not seen nor ears heard are things He has in store for them that love Him
    Who are God’s lovers, they are God’s servants
    Those who labour in His house
    1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him

    INGREDIENTS OF FAITH

    That being said, let’s examine the ingredients of faith from the standpoint of the father of Faith Abraham
    What are those things He exemplifies that show FAITH
    or that makes up His faith life
    If you can get it then you can be mighty in faith as well
    Let’s draw it fromROMANS 14:17-22
    17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. note 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
    The first ingredient of faith we will be picking from the life of Abraham is The Word of God.

    1. THE WORD OF GOD

    V17 reads:As it is written I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
    As it is written implies the word of God.That’s the place to start in building up your faith in all areas of life.
    Romans 10:17 says so then faith cometh by hearing and
    hearing by the word of God.To build faith in all areas, go for the word,verse 8 says but what saith it, the Word is near thee even in thy mouth and in thy heart that is the word of faith, which we preach.Do you need faith for academic success? Then go get the word, look for the scriptural references that guarantee academic success!
    Do you need marital success? Go for the word that talks about marital success!Do you need healing? Go for the word. That was how I built my faith.
    The Bible says “The just shall live by his Faith“
    I have preached several messages in different areas that you can search for and listen to.
    You can also search for biblical references on Google.Just type: scriptural passages on academic success or any other areas you may need help with.
    Before faith for healing got into my system, I tell you, I was reciting and chewing the healing scriptures wherever I go, even while walking on the street.
    I meditated on it and absorbed it into my bones and marrows.
    Even when I slept at night, I usually recite those scriptures from my sleep.
    The same thing goes for every area of my life. Up till date, I meditate and ponder on the word of God which talks about certain areas of my personal life, family and ministry.
    I am still in search of new words and scripture references that can make me stand more firm.
    Don’t go for one, two or three, don’t relax until you have up to 20 scriptural references that can build up your faith in that area.
    The Bible says faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
    The more you hear and hear, the more you read and read, and the more your faith increases!
    It is simple
    Your faith must anchor on the word
    If you want faith in this AREA of your life, go for what the word says about out it.
    Then begin to meditate on it
    Then you will have success in that area
    When you are done with that, move to another area of your life
    For instance, It is medication in the word of healing that produces healing faith
    This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have success – Joshua 1:8.
    Who’s going to do that tonight?
    Who is going to search for the word of faith in a certain area of his life?
    God bless those signifying

    2. HOPE

    The second ingredient of faith is hope
    The faith of father Abraham (who is our case study) was not vague or existed in a vacuum but it was based on what God said to Him, which is the word of God.
    THE BIBLE SAYS:
    He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God – vs 20.The Bible essentially says: faith is the substance of things hoped, evidence of things not seen Hebrews 11:1.
    Hope is the bridge between the word and faith.
    Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for.What do we hope for? The fulfilment of the word (the promise of God to you)!
    The word is what we are hoping for and that means it is hoped that gives the expectations.
    Hope gives our heart laxation into something only faith can gain.
    Hope awaits or expects longingly because it is so convinced of its existence and faith receives the promise.
    When a man loses hope, he should forget about faith
    Hope tells you THE PROMISE IS POSSIBLE, IT IS IN EXISTENCE.Then, faith gets it.
    Let’s see how Abraham practised hope in his case:
    Romans 4:18 says, “Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken”.NLT says: “Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping believing that he would become the father of many nations. When there was no reason for the hope he kept hoping, looking unto God”.Hope is looking unto God.Verse 19 says: Abrahams’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead and so was Sarah’s womb.He knew that looking at his environment would not help but, he kept his gaze on God.
    Hope is looking unto God, checking God out, weighing God and putting God on a balance to see if He can’t see in His word.Hope is placing the promise maker side by side with his promise.
    Hope is when the promisee weighs the promise against the promise to see if he can do what he has promised.
    Hope is seeing God as “being able to do it.Is God able to do that thing? In that area of your pressing need, is He able and capable?
    Then don’t just look at your environment or the prevailing circumstances, only look at God.
    Hope is checking God out to see if He can do what you expect as He has promised in His word.
    I promised to give out 35 of my books for free.Did you have doubts?
    Did you have hope that I will do it?
    What if I promised you a public holiday tomorrow, will you have hope in me?
    Why not?
    You knew I didn’t have the power
    Now…does God have the power to give You what you see Him promised in His word?
    Hope magnifies God more than the situation.Hope makes you relax because God can do more than you are requesting.

    I baptize you into the spirit of hope and faith in Jesus’ name.

    3.EXPECTATION

    Hope gives an expectation and the Bible says: the expectations shall not be cut off.
    Pro 23:18 For surely there is an end, and thine expectation shall not be cut off
    The mistake people make is that they focus more on the EXPECTED WAY instead of the expected end
    Jeremiah 29:11, for I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.You wanted to do your wedding for instance.
    You have faith that you have abundance. Right?
    Your hope for abundance is in God!
    Your expected end is that you have a debt-free and glorious wedding.
    But in your head, you have thought that Uncle A will give you 50.Aunty B will do a cake for you for free
    Since Bro. C is a fashion designer and he has once asked if you would like a particular suit…you feel he would make one for you for free
    On the wedding day, all of them didn’t give you those things. You felt disappointed
    Now…
    Your faith was not in God but in man
    Your hope was not in God but in man
    You have told God the method He should use and since He can’t be limited, He refused to take the place
    Except he’s leading you to those people…and even when He does your expectation should be in His word
    How many have thought of an uncle giving them some money? Did he give you one?
    You were thinking XXX will buy you so n so on your birthday, did he?
    Now, did God eventually come through for you at that time or not
    Let your EXPECTATION be in the “expected end” not the expected way

    4. TRUST

    Another faith booster or ingredient of faith is trust!That is, having trust in God that it is done.
    The Bible says “thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee”- Isaiah 26:3.
    Trust shows that your mind is on God and not on the result.
    What do I mean?
    Do you have the same mood when you see an alert and when you don’t have a dime in your account?
    A man of trust will have the same mood;
    Why, because has three confidence that it is settled
    If Dangote promises money to some people, they can even do thanksgiving ahead in the church but if God assures some people of wealth, their mood will be scattered!
    And that is why many people don’t pay this tithe
    I think that those who miss their tithes will have a big TRUST issue with God
    The Scripture says He will keep in perfect peace those that trust in Him.
    It is those that trust Him even when they have not seen any trace of an answer.
    It was trust that made Sarah permit sexual intercourse with her husband at that age to conceive a child.
    It was trust that made Abraham take the same Isaac to the slaughter with a clear assurance that God would raise him from the dead.
    It was trust that made Jesus die on the cross with the assurance that the Father would raise Him again.
    Can you trust God to that extent? Trust is a vital ingredient to our faith.

  • FIVE-FOLD OFFICES – Pst. Ife Adetona

    FIVE-FOLD OFFICES – Pst. Ife Adetona

    There are three kinds of Apostles: Apostles of the Lamb (the 12), Foundational or News Testament Apostles (Paul & Others) and then, the Modern Day Apostles.

    Before now, Apostles are generally explained as those who plant churches but the understanding has gone far beyond that. It is not that God’s plan changed but our understanding improves as times & seasons unfold God’s definition.

    An Apostle is a massive Church planter across different territories.
    Or- an apostle is a pioneer and groundbreaker of a particular territory.
    Or- an apostle revives a particular doctrine in the body of Christ.
    Or- an apostle ushers a generation into a move or dimension of the Spirit.

    A person who combines the Prophet office and the Teacher office is an apostle. That is because he is likely to revive a particular Biblical doctrine(s) or truth or move.

    PROPHET
    There are also TWO KINDS of Prophets. Foundational or News Testament Prophets or Modern Day Prophets. A prophet is usually a preacher with the regular manifestation of five to six prophetic gifts (word of wisdom, word of knowledge, discerning of spirits, diverse kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues & prophecy). The degree would be quite high in at least one of those gifts and manifest adequately in others. Some prophets try to teach, they try to reignite a doctrine and also try to establish new doctrines. These prophets usually commit massive blunders while trying to do so. Meanwhile, they can desire the teaching gift but they need to be humble to learn how it is done. Prophets usually have healings and they are more evangelistic than pastoral.

    PASTOR
    “A Pastor has an organized Church”. Sorry, I mean we used to think all Pastors must have an organized denominational church. It is not so. A pastor is a shepherd with sheep in an organized setting (denominational or non-denominational). A pastor preaches or teaches. A pastor tenders, nurses and watches individuals NOT a building or chairs.

    EVANGELIST
    If you break new grounds, if you have massive signs and wonders including healing and miracles EVEN if you see Jesus but if you do not have an organised membership (pastoral service), you are not an apostle, you are an evangelist. You are a great man of God and not the least of all. Evangelists are also less prophetic. Many evangelists exhort or preach and some (a few) teach.

    TEACHER
    Actually, a minister of God either preaches or teaches. But God raises people in the office of a Teacher to teach concrete Biblical knowledge and doctrines. They have both pastoral and evangelistic tendencies because they win souls and groom those souls. This differentiates them from teachers in the help ministry.

    HELP MINISTRY
    If you sing, you’re not an evangelist. If you act drama, you are not an evangelist EXCEPT if you are an evangelist that sings or an evangelist that acts drama. Else, you are in the help ministry.

    Note, I am not explaining or criticizing titles, I am only explaining offices. In heaven, many ministers will come forward to receive the reward of planting a Church but a woman in the help ministry of prayer who birth the Church on her knees will be called forward. The Help Ministry is big and recognised. God can call men into it as full-time or part-time. For further study, I have three free books in circulation on this.

    NOTE
    You will only grow into the full realization of your calling. You can’t get there the day you stepped into the ministry. Also, title does not necessarily promote, growth does.

    Many will not grow into even the first phase of their ministry and calling till they die. So, we must take heed to ensure that we fulfil our ministry.

    Let me remind you that, if you are called into the ministry, the journey has not begun until you answer FULL TIME.

    APOSTLE JOHNSON SULEMAN REAVEALS WHY HE WAS ATTACKED

    APOSTLE JOHNSON SULEMAN REAVEALS WHY HE WAS ATTACKED. 😳

    In 2017, some ministers called me to Abuja after I spoke against the killings on national scale.

    They sat me down and threw a bag of money and said I should shut up. They threw out an AK47, and also a newspaper 📰 and said I should take the money or I go by the two( AK47 or newspaper).

    I said I don’t understand what they mean. There was a gun and there was a newspaper 📰. They said because if I don’t do that, they will make sure in one year I don’t hold a microphone🎤again in this country.

    They said I should keep my mouth shut 🤐. I said to them I that never knew what I said to them was actually a big deal, now I want to start talking.

    I said if you want to come for me, you are very free to border yourself because I am going to keep talking and I kept on speaking.

    I then had a revelation in 2018 around March, close to my birthday, I saw Papa in that revelation.(Bishop Benson Idahosa) I remembered I was praying and crying profusely.

    Papa(Benson Idahosa of Blessed Memory) said “Look at what is happening in the church, look at what is happening in the country…and the ministers are silent about it”.

    I was trying to get his attention but he put his hand together and bent his head just as he does when he was alive.

    He said the ministers are silent, he said it’s time for them to say something, to stop Herod and to stop pharaoh.

    May God restore us and give us the boldness to speak again!!

  • BULLETPROOF CAR – Pst. Ife Adetona

    BULLETPROOF CAR – Pst. Ife Adetona

    I thank God for saving the life of his servant with his family, Apostle Suleiman. Condolences for the loss of his aides. May God replenish the loss of the bereaved family. May God also grant the apostle and his family quick healing from the trauma.

    Talking about the bulletproof car which has since become a centre of debate. I have seen people as usual say all sorts such as “it wasn’t anointing oil that saved him, it was bulletproof”. That’s like saying: “it wasn’t God that saved him but the car”. If thieves attempted breaking into their father’s house and after several attempts, even when the door was almost giving in, they were overpowered, those naysayers will go to church and say: “it wasn’t God that secured our parents, it was the iron door”.

    The law of Divine Security says: “do your best and leave the rest”. Do your best, leave the rest for God but be at peace.
    While I live in a house with a gate, I shut the gates at night, God keeps me.
    When I was living in a gateless house, I shut the door to my room and God kept me.
    When I was living in a house without a gate and without door, I drew my curtain at night and slept peaceably because the Lord was watching over me.

    There’s a place for wisdom, there is a place of divine security.
    Except the Lord keeps the city, the watchmen keep vigil in vain but note: there were still watchmen keeping vigils.

  • UNDERSTANDING RHEMA AND LOGOS

    UNDERSTANDING RHEMA AND LOGOS

    When I was on campus, I used to hear people shouting RHEMA whenever a man of God said something deep from the word of God. But in no time I emulated this culture of shouting RHEMA whenever I want to appraise a man of God’s teachings even without knowing the meaning, but as time went by, I got to know that rhema is a Greek word that means the word of God. I will be opening your eyes to the full understanding of this word in the lines of this book.

    Let’s go a bit theological, the word Rhema is a Greek word, spelled as ῥῆμα, transliterated as rhēma and pronounced as “rhray’-mah”. The word Rhema is found seventy (70) times in the New Testament. I will be bringing five of it to your attention for in-depth study before I tell you the definition of the word Rhema.

    A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word (rhema) that Jesus had said to him, Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. And when he thought about it, he wept.

    Mark 14:72

    While Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word (rhema) of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

    Luke 3:2

    Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in Me? The words (rhema) that I speak to you I do not speak on My authority, but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

    John 14:10

    Who will tell you words (rhema) by which you and all your household will be saved.

    Acts 11:14

    It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words (rhema) that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

    John 6:63

    From the above bible passages above, you are going to see that the word of God used in this context is spoken or written specifically, they are the words God speaks out not to everyone, but to an individual. Yes! The word God has spoken to you is your own Rhema, it is meant for your dealings. They are the words the Lord has revealed to you, they’re the raw materials for your desired wonders, they serve as lamps to your feet and light to your path. They are the words that were sorted for whenever one is about to take crucial steps. Now, note this, every Rhema must be rooted in the logos which shall be explained next.

    2.LOGOS

    To explain logos to you, I will like us to go theological as well. Logos is a Greek word, spelled as λόγος, transliterated as logos and pronounced as log’-os. The word Logos appears three hundred and thirty-one times (331) in the New Testament, but let me give you just five (5) instances of where it was used to explain what it is to you.

    Therefore whoever hears these sayings (logos) of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

    Matthew 7:24

    The sower sows the word (logos).

    Mark 4:14

    So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word (logos) of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret.

    Luke 5: 1

    That the saying (logos) of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, signifying by what death He would die.

    John 18:32

    Then the word (logos) of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

    Acts 6:7

    Critically, look at the contextual use of “word,” you will see that it was spoken or written generally to people, it was not meant for a particular person.

    HOW DO THEY RELATE?

    Logos can be likened to a well, while Rhema can be likened to your bucket, it is the bucket that draws from the well. This means that all Rhema are drawn from the Logos, any Rhema that is not having the background of the logos should be discarded and disregarded.

    Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

    2 Timothy 2:15

    Paul was admonishing Timothy as I want to admonish you. He said Timothy should study the Logos because it is how studious he is in logos that God is going to examine, that will make God approve a Rhema word for him and remember, that the Rhema word is the raw materials for any wonders you desire.

  • WONDERS WORKING WORD LAUNCHING

    WONDERS WORKING WORD LAUNCHING

    To God be the glory of all things He has done. I can’t but appreciate Him for teaching my hands to war and my fingers to fight in writing this book.
    It’s not by my intellect, nor by my understanding of the scriptures, but His Grace only singles me out to carry out this wonderful project. To Him alone be the glory!

    I’m pleased to notify you that the long-awaited book “WONDERS WORKING WORD,” will be released today to the body of Christ to bless lives and destiny, and to cause many to always think of the word of God as the first and the only solution to any life-threatening situations or circumstances you may find yourself and also to work wonders in our lives to unbelievers to see and bring them to the place of the cross.

    ABOUT THE BOOK.

    When God wanted to heal, He sent His word, when He wanted to deliver, He sent His word, when He wanted to create man, He spoke His word, when He wanted to save, He sent His word, when He wanted to revive, He sent His word.

    Thus, for you to walk in the dimension of this wonderful God, you also need His word!

    The word of God always works if only you know how to make it work.
    “WONDER WORKING WORD” is a book that exposes you to how you can use the word of God to create the desired wonders in your life.
    Get ready for a great ride as you read through this great piece.

    OVERVIEW OF THE BOOKS.

    The book is having six [6] chapters:

    CHAPTER 1: THE NEED FOR WONDERS.

    As the scripture says that without signs and wonders, people won’t believe. This chapter emphasizes why believers should be wonder commanders which is to aid the gospel.

    It also explained how the wonderful act of God performed by the patriarch in the Bible brought so many people to the kingdom of God!

    CHAPTER 2: UNDERSTANDING THE WORD.

    This chapter explained the different dimensions of the word of God we have.
    It also demystifies the difference between Rhema and Logos.

    CHAPTER 3: WONDERS OF TONGUES.

    The urgent need for every believer after giving their lives to Christ is to be initiated into the world of the supernatural, and speaking in tongues is the entrance to this world.

    This chapter explained how it’s the initial evidence of Holy Ghost baptism and how it can be accessed by anyone that desires it.

    CHAPTER 4: WONDERS OF HEALING.

    The greatest need of every man to live a meaningful life is to be free from sickness.
    Sickness is the younger brother of death, but it is a gift to all believers to be free from sickness and not only to heal the sick.

    This chapter will show you how you can heal the sick, and bring the sick world to the knowledge of Christ!

    CHAPTER 5: WONDERS OF PROSPERITY.

    The Bible says: through prosperity shall the kingdom of God be spread abroad.
    The devil is trying to bring so many people to his kingdom through money.
    To always command finance at every point in time according to the kingdom pattern, you have to follow God’s terms and conditions, everything was explained in this chapter.

    CHAPTER 6: TAKING THE ROD.

    This chapter will open your eyes to how you can always use the word of God to command the desired result in your life.

    THE LAUNCHING.

    I, therefore present this book, “WONDERS WORKING WORD,” to the body of Christ to do that which God had wanted to do with it in the name of God the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.

    You can however make your purchase through source of this article

    May the Communion of the Holy Spirit be with you.

  • THEY THOUGHT WE WERE LYING – Pst.Ife Adetona

    THEY THOUGHT WE WERE LYING – Pst.Ife Adetona

    Many ignorantly think positive confession in the name of faith is like telling lies or deceiving oneself.

    May we open our hearts to learning in Jesus Name.

    Faith is never negative but always positive thus positive confession aligns every time with faith. There is a problem if the person making the positive confession is talking from the point of ignorance of the Scriptures.

    Yet, it is better to speak positively out of ignorance than to speak negatively out of unbelief.

    God said let the weak say “I am strong”. Not because his body is strong but he considers not his own body and staggered not out of unbelief but steadfast in faith calling things that were not as though they were.

    Jesus said LAZARUS is not dead. Was He lying? He said Lazarus is not dead so he would be undead. If you say Lazarus is dead because you want to speak the reality, he will remain dead. Which one do you prefer? A dead or an undead Lazarus? Say what you want to see (FULL STOP). The point is that your reality is not of this world or of your physical environment.

    So, when you say I AM RICH.
    When you say I AM STRONG
    When you say I AM FULL
    Or you say I AM PREGNANT

    When in the natural sense, it is the opposite, the Bible says, you will have whatever you saith and it is unto you according to your faith.

    Again, I would prefer an ignorant believer who confesses positively all the time to a self acclaimed old believer who confesses negatively.

    The Bible says: “anything that is not of faith is sin”. Aigba gbo bi la (Disbelief, I cast you out).

    James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick.

  • RUSSIA VS UKRAINE WAR II- Pst Ife Adetona

    RUSSIA VS UKRAINE WAR II- Pst Ife Adetona

    Russia did believe that when they roll their tanks into Ukraine, they will surrender or flex some muscles but in a week or two, it will all be over. I guess they thought it would work out just like when the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 2021 or when Russia seized Crimea in 2014.

    Don’t dare a man ready to die fighting. Zelensky, Ukraine’s President said they will not surrender until the last man is dead. They defended their territory.

    The USA called the President, “let’s fly you out of Ukraine to a safe place”. He replied: ” I don’t need a ride, give me weapons”. The US and NATO felt, “well, let’s help these guys with weapons to defend themselves. We know they won’t last but at least, they would know that we tried”. Weapons were supplied, Ukraine soldiers used them well, and they lasted the night. The world was again surprised. And said, okay, let’s send them more weapons then.

    Zelensky wanted to drag NATO into the war by calling for a “no-flight zone”. If NATO declares a no-flight zone over Ukraine as they have freely done in some warring territories, it means they will shoot down any Russian aircraft in Ukraine’s air space. If they do that, Putin has an excuse to attack the US or any NATO country. That will result in an escalation because NATO will have to fight back. That is simply World War III because North Korea and other Russian friends can join in. NATO said it’s not the wise thing to do.

    Meanwhile, more defensive weapons began to pour in. Note the word “defensive”. Ukraine has not shot down a fly in Russia since the start of the war. If they do, Russia has an excuse to wipe out Ukraine from the map with more sophisticated weapons. So far, they’ve only been defending.

    More support rained into Ukraine on the following day. Foods, basic needs, transportation for fleeing citizens into other European countries especially Poland, the next-door neighbour. Russia was going to cut Ukraine’s internet. They ran to Elon Musk the richest man who has a satellite in the space for help, he gave them under 24-48 hours. Supports and cheering everywhere. People volunteered to go fight for them from various countries as well.

    NATO decided to join the battle but indirectly. Aside from supplying weapons, they supplied intelligence and training. Intelligence is key to winning any war! It is reported that it is NATO that reveals to Ukraine where the Russian army is, they tell them where to shoot and when to shoot. That way, they have reported the killing of up to eight major army generals of Russia. That’s unprecedented.

    Europe and the USA also started slamming economic bans, travel bans and especially targeted bans on Russian billionaires hoping those billionaires will influence Putin’s decision. Even private companies banned Russia. It was enormous.

    The toughest of all the bans is the OIL BAN. I told you that Europe is dependent on Russian oil. The US is also a major customer. Banning the oil would mean starving yourself while trying to make your enemy suffer. Putin had thought that they can’t do it since the war will be over in a few days anyway. But the longer it takes, the more the pressure on those countries to act selflessly. Biden took the bold step. Some other European and NATO countries followed suit. Yet, in most quarters, it is still a partial ban and not a total ban. And they still buy the oil through third parties. Like they won’t buy from Russia but can buy from a third party who bought from Russia. However, the ban led to increasing in demand, shortage in supply thereby, increase in price. This affects every country and every man in the world.

    Negotiation is always the twin in every war. It is believed that war could only end on the table. Ukraine and Russia began to discuss. Russia listed her demands- “give us Crimea officially, the land we seized from you the other time. Also, allow those guys who have been trying to break away to go in peace. And also, forget about your dream of joining NATO. And lastly, we don’t want you to have military again”. Russia quickly erased that last one and replaced it with, “your military should be neutral, it should have nothing to do with NATO or other country’s military”.

    At the beginning of the negotiation, Ukraine was ready to succumb. They told Russia, we will forgo NATO ambition. We will look into those guys that want to break away provided we can address the needs of those living there that wish to stay with Ukraine. The piece of land you stole, you know we can’t give you. We may just pretend that it’s yours but we won’t make it official.

    As the negotiation was on, the war was on and Ukraine was making gains. At least, they were beating back Russian troops and have a large support base. I believe they started backtracking on succumbing at that point.

    I should tell you about the approach of Russia in this war. Russia didn’t want to wipe out Ukraine. That will be too much and unforgivable. They only want to oppress them and wear them out by destroying their country, the buildings and kill people to order to pressurize the government to surrender and say, “it’s enough, we can’t take it anymore”. If Russia has it’s way, they also want to seize the capital, remove or assassinate the president and install another person. But Ukraine’s president seems to have a coconut head. His statement has been, ” you have to kill the last man. You have started already, you must kill us all”.

    In all sincerity, the world powers and NATO especially could help Ukraine negotiate its way out quickly. They just need to give Russia some concession here and there. But they are not ready to do that for some reasons:

    “At this point, if we give Putin what he wants, he would think he is smart. He could do the same for another country tomorrow.”

    “If Ukraine is ready to fight, why should we stop them? Let’s see how much Russia can go”. We may even use the window to study Russia to know their weak points against future wars”.

    When a teacher is beating a student, the teacher also gets tired. NATO believes that Russia is getting tired too of the loss at the war and the sanctions. “Let’s allow them to suffer for long so they won’t even try such again ever in their life”.

    Lastly, they are like, ” what tells you that Ukraine will not even win this war. We thought they would surrender in 7days but it’s over 70 days already and they are still standing. They should hold on a little more.

    What’s your TAKE AND best advice for UKRAINE?

  • UKRAINE-RUSSIAN WAR (1) by Pst.Ife Adetona

    UKRAINE-RUSSIAN WAR (1) by Pst.Ife Adetona

    Ukraine (UKN) is a country in the backyard of Russia. Russia is the largest country in terms of land size. Almost thrice the size of the other 49 countries in Europe. If you divide Africa into two, Russia will take more than half.

    Ukraine had said, “we want to join NATO”.
    Russia said, ” you don’t dare”.
    But who are you to tell us what to do?
    Okay, try it!
    If we try it, what will you do?
    We will seize your land and dispose of your government.
    You can’t do that. That has never happened in modern history.

    Ukraine began to move papers and documents to join NATO, while Russia began to move its trucks and military to attack Ukraine.

    When NATO was asked, “if Russia attack Ukraine today, what will you do?” NATO said, “that will be unfortunate but since they are yet to formally join us, they are on their own”. Analysts believed that was the green light 💡 Putin, Russia’s President needed. He moved him and began his attack.

    But what is NATO and why is Putin bothered about them?

    After WWII (World War 2), the world became something like an action film where you have the protagonist countries and the antagonist countries. Both may appear to be friends but they are quietly preparing for World War III so it does not meet them unaware. You can call the protagonists the good boys and the other, bad boys. The good boys are so-called in the world scene because they are more democratic and loudly advocate for human rights.

    The good boys decided to form a military alliance called North Atlantic Treaty Organisation(NATO) with an oath, “an injury to one is an injury to all”. This alliance as of today includes the USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany and over 25 other countries.

    Those you may refer to as the antagonists (note- in another context, they may not be so-called) are mainly North Korea, China and Russia. Each of these countries is very powerful on its own and though they do not form a military alliance, they are posed to assist each other in case of an escalation. For instance, North Korea had told her army to be on alert to support Russia if the war escalates. Unlike other powerful nations, China had refused to sanction Russia for the ongoing war.

    Most other countries may not openly side with either the protagonists or antagonists but each body language has already determined where they belong should there be a WWIII. Nigeria for instance is posed to go with the UK & US which are members of NATO. Mali and Libya on the other hand are friends with Russia.

    Looking at the strength and size of Russia and the role it played in WWII, you can safely say that NATO was created to contain Russia’s dominance across the world.

    Side note, those free or neutral countries can also switch lanes anytime if the weather favours them. For instance, if a president wants to clutch on to power longer than it’s due democratically, he could run to Russia for protection because the good boys will not welcome him. Russia is usually the rally point for such because it has nothing to lose. It has oil in abundance and Europe’s continent used to and still depends largely on her oil. China may not support such with full chest because they have many competitive goods to sell to America and other countries. They needed to play nice. North Korea on the other line is an isolated country. They don’t have the economic capacity to help.

    OKAY! But I still don’t get why Russia is after Ukraine.

    It’s simple. Russia shares a border with Ukraine. If Ukraine joins NATO, it means NATO can place its army in the backyard of Russia. If there is a war, say WWIII, NATO, especially the USA can easily strike Russia.

    WOW! Now I get but is it just that?

    That’s not all. There are several countries that surround Russia that are not NATO members. If Ukraine joins freely, others will be boldened to join. Meaning, NATO will surround Russia making it easy to be wiped out if there’s a future war.

    OHHHHHOKAYYYYY! But why can’t Ukraine just stay neutral then?

    Well, Russia wants all the country that surrounds her to either be under her or stay neutral. But they sometimes threaten these nations that don’t submit either partially or fully to them. For instance, in 2014, Russia entered Ukraine’s territory and seize a part called ” Crimea”. Ukraine can’t fight back because they were weaker. Like, they stole from them and they can’t even fight back.

    That’s not all. There is some part of Ukraine that wanted to have independence just like Biafra in Nigeria at a time. These guys have been fighting the Ukraine government for years. They are not that powerful but guess who is backing them? Russia.

    So, Ukraine wants to join NATO for protection. Because once they join, if Russia kills a goat in Ukraine, NATO will retaliate. That way, Ukraine will be almost as powerful as Russia itself.

    So, Russia moved in intending to seize Ukraine’s capital like they seized Crimea years ago but, they were shocked at what they met. The world was also shocked at Ukraine’s resistance. I should tell you the details of the war especially the first days in the second part.

    But for the records, Russia is fighting Ukraine to make them an example to other neutral countries around them but as of today, these countries are dead scared and feel that it is best they join NATO for protection. Two of them at least, Sweden and Finland have started making plans. Maybe they feel this is the best time since Russia couldn’t invade one country successfully, it can’t invade three at a time.
