THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 3, No. 19 – Monday, 7th May, 2018
(Ps.103:6-14, Is.49:15)
‘TELL THEM THAT I LOVE THEM’
How so beautiful and radiant are the dimples and indeed the entire face of a new mother at the sight of her newly-born baby. As it is to the new mother, so it is to the new father. It was at about the years between 2010-2013 when BBC (Fivelive) carried this piece.
What was contained in the piece was how a woman was delivered of her child by her husband who was never a delivery expert. That faithful morning, the woman in question was already in labour. The husband attempted to carry his beloved wife to the car downstairs.
At about the start of the stairs or midway, the woman dilated and the baby began to emerge. The helpless husband was forced to put a call through to their Royal Infirmery. It was too late to forward any ambulance: so instant lectures on how to deliver the baby and save the lives of both was the next and only option.
Consider the agonizing moment undergone by that husband. As the telephone conversation went on, the man—husband pulled the baby as gently as he could. With shivers in his voice on telephone, he followed the instructions carefully.
At last, the baby was born. With unusual ecstasy, he pleasurably carried his baby not minding the mess of the fresh blood. On conversing with BBC, you could yet hear how electrified he was with joy.
I decree in the name of the Lord that your destiny man-child shall be born this year. Stoppers of your destiny’s manifestation shall be abruptly stopped. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I break the yoke of non achievement from your life. By the strength of Him who sent, I prophesy: men shall celebrate you.
Understand the love of a new father for seeing his newly-born son. With the above account, what the Lord is saying to the reader of this edition of The Message Now is that of the unusual love of God the father.
A while ago, I sat quietly in the office having listen to the touching Christian experience of our office clerk, I asked the Lord, what should I tell your people? I heard the Lord say to me in clear language: ‘tell them I love them’.
Shockingly, the Lord spoke to me again just overnight: ‘tell them I love them’. The Lord has sent me to inform you that He loves you. His words and genuine love reminiscence that affectionate definition of love in that poem which reads: ‘love is no love which alters when its alteration finds’. Are you downcast? Are you of the belief that you are suffering or being delayed because of your sin?
Ah! it is a lie. Arise out of that dark trauma. It has got no hand of God in it. The lover of your soul is every hour thinking about you. I remember now that encounter with my secondary school mate: Stephen Angulu. I complained to Stephen about the experience I was passing through.
Stephen’s response was that ‘Kunle, God is thinking about you 24 hours of every day’. To me at the time, that was the most meaningless statement ever expressed to me. But was brother Stephen Angulu wrong? Now, I understand better.
Don’t be downcast. Your expectation shall not end in shame. You will remember this time and you will praise God for your waiting. In the end, your waiting, your delay, your pains and the current storms shall all be like a dream and they shall be gone: never to return.
IN THE END, REMEMBER THAT ONE WAS SENT TO TELL YOU THAT THE HEAVENLY FATHER SAID THAT HE LOVES YOU. YES, HE LOVES YOU STILL DESPITE IT ALL. AND, IF HE LOVES YOU, THEN SMILES AWAITS YOU AT THE END OF THAT DARK TUNNEL.

Christ Jesus, You are the Anointed One of the Most High. I come to you today as I am. In your mercy, help me out of my situation. Heal my soul, my spirit, my body, my life and my destiny. I acknowledge you as the only true lover of my soul. Please, deliver me on every side and save me through and through. I promise from the depth of my soul to be yours from henceforth, in Jesus name.
