THE CHILDREN’S BREAD

16^th. MAY 2022

^“He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.”

1 John 2:9-11, NKJV.

Child of God, this week’s devotional is about the evil, called RACISM and it is based on two different visions, that the LORD gave to me for some time now, which I have just uploaded in the Prophecy section, and I do believe that it will be worth it, if you could read through it as to understand what God was, and is still saying today to the Church; His Church and His body, in order for us to teach and preach with it. He Has actually given me many visions on this particular situation but for the sake of time, I would love to only focus on these two, and at another time write or talk about the others. On the alternative, I might just leave the other ones out, to compile them somehow, and for someday!

First of all, what is racism? According to collins English Dictionary, it states, that racism is the belief that people of some races are inferior to others, and the behaviour which is the result of this belief. According to Collins Dictionary, it further states, that racism also refers to the aspects of a society, which prevents people of some racial groups from having the same privileges and opportunities as people from other races.

I would say, that since the last two weeks, the Holy Spirit has been bringing these visions back to my memory, to make me know it is time to write, teach, preach, or just talk about it. Like very many of us, I have always prayed, and will not stop praying concerning this evil, till the day I take my last breath because the LORD God calls racism, tribalism, evil traditions, evil culture, injustice, and everything in this nature, evil! Therefore, if it is evil to God, then it should be evil to us who love Him, and who are called according to His purpose! As I was discussing this topic with my two eldest children about two weeks ago, based on something they heard, or read about concerning racism, I was puzzled as I listened to them because I felt that they didn’t have any bone in that fight; it wasn’t even something that had to do with them directly, but something they heard, or read about, concerning someone, whom they do not even know! It was indeed a heated argument between us; them against me – But no worries child of God, I’ve learnt to hold up for myself! I eventually understood them as the LORD had to remind me, that the younger generations have completely different opinions and ways of operandi, than my generation and those before me, thus, discussions could easily get out of control and sometimes, I have to apply experience that comes with age to calm them down! I had to navigate the heated discussion in such a way as to remind them, that although we are supposed to pray, protest, use the laws of the land to fight, and push back against such evil, wherever and whenever we must (Ephesians 5:11). Nevertheless, I wanted them to understand that as long as there are people with different colors, religion, tradition, status, and culture, there will always be evil, which we will continue to contend with, in one way or the other, till Jesus comes back! As long as there is day and night, there will always be evil. As long as there is one good person on this planet, there will always be another person, who is evil and assigned by the enemy to oppose and fight against him. I had to make them to understand that our assignment as children of God Almighty, the only God of true love, and the only good Father of all, is to shed light on evil and learn to differentiate between the good, and bad!

I love the children of this generation! I am really inspired by many of them, even those among them who have not yet come into Christ. Why do I love them? Because most of them don’t have the time to sugar-coat things! For them, it is either black or white, hardly any gray area! Which very much reminds me of what people who know me too well, have always said about me, “With you, it is either black or white, nothing inbetween!” I mean, why should I have to choose gray, when I can choose between good and evil?! Were we not given this clear command by Jesus Christ in the book of revelation? He was very clear about His desire for us, not be lukewarm, but rather, to decide who we are, and where we belong; either hot for Him, or cold for the world (Rev. 3:15)! The youths of this generation and the next, are not hypocrites, and they cannot stand those who are! They may walk with you, be with you, but in their hearts, they are counting time! As a matter of fact, those who are hypocrites disgust them! The younger generation who are into the things of the world are very transparent about it, and are not hiding it at all; at least we know them, and what we are dealing with. On the other hand, those who are in Christ are also not hiding their identity in Him, and do not have time to play circus with those who love to camouflage Christ! They are ready to challenge any one, system, tradition, authority, and culture, that they recognize to be out of order! One of such groups of people, whom God uses to keep me in check, are those who are very honest about the way they see things; My children! God uses them to challenge me on a constant basis about things that they know and feel is out of order; I hear them say things like, “Mum, that has to stop now, its either you do it like this or we’re out!” When they say we are out, it means, that they are leaving me to me; on my own, on whichever route I am on, which they believe might be foolish, from their perspective! Thus, it becomes an avenue for us to engage in a healthy dialogue with regards to whatever the issue may be. At the end of the dialogue, they end up accepting my opinion, or me accepting theirs, which in some cases, would be after deliberate consideration and sometimes consultation with the LORD from my side, depending on what it is! What does that mean exactly? They make me begin to think about things that I would never have thought about. Sometimes, it feels as though, in certain areas, I find myself walking on eggsshells with them, which I am always eventually greatful for! Lately (few months ago), I had them rebuke me on something I never considered to be wrong as I never even thought about it, till a situation arose. Because of them, I have now learnt to be careful not to use a certain word, which used to be very normal to me, to describe a particular group of people as they were quick to scream from every corner, “that’s racist!” the last time I used that name! For many years, I have heard many africans, mostly nigerians, calling the Chinese a certain funny name, and it has been the name that most Nigerians ascribe to them. I have always referred to them that way as well, without ill intentions towards them, till late last year, when I used that same name in the presence of my three oldest children, after which, I noticed that the atmosphere in the living room suddenly changed; it became completely quiet, very cold, and extremely uncomfortable for me; I could’ve literally heard a pin drop, had one fallen! I didn’t only sense the change as a human being; My spirit picked up on it, way before my flesh finally did, and I dared to ask, if I did anything wrong! That was when they looked at themselves before turning their eyes back on me as though I was a foreign entity from a planet which has yet to be identified! One of them said to me, “Did you realize what you just said?!” I replied with a bold “Yes” as I went on to repeat the last thing I said before their change of attitude, adding,  ”What did I say wrong?” They all screamed at the top of their lungs in disgust, “Mum, that name is racist!” I said to them, “Hold it right there! Where is the racism and who is the racist?!” They said, “You don’t say such things!” I told them I did not mean any harm, and that I love the people and the race, but that it was just a name that most Nigerians are used to as a nick-name, when referring to the people from that nation. They began to lecture me on what I have always taught them. They began by telling me that they know that I have no drop of racism in me, but that one should not refer to people in a way that is not their real identity; which is in any way, that is meant to be derogatory! They went on to asked me to think about how I would feel, if people should also refer to us by the N-word, and I accepted, that I would be understandably disappointed with whomever would do such. After I was harshly admonished by these children, I had to admit, that on that particular day, they made me feel very foolish as I sat down, glued to my seat for a period of time, ruminating over what just happened, while observing them move on with another topic, laughing! It did not feel good to my flesh at all as I felt that I was the one, who should always be in control over them, yet, I learnt to be thankful to God whenever He uses them to correct me! I eventually realised that after they had corrected me, they went about their stuff, while I sat down feeling foolish about myself, till I was reminded, that I was the only one feeling like a fool, that they do not even consider me as one. They were just honest, and told me what was on their mind, after which they moved on from it, but I on the other hand, began to build a foolish multi-level storey building out of what I believed they thought about me, which was not true at all- because the next second, we were all laughing and talking about other issues as though the rebuke I got from them, never happened! Had the Holy Spirit not used them to square off with me, another person, at one time or the other, would have done that, but it could be someone, who genuinely hates me; Someone, who would be assigned by the enemy to correct me, but with evil intention, and disastrous ending.

Child of God, prior to our discussion, I did not see anything evil in what I said, neither did I intend to hurt a particular group of people or race with it, but because it was a name that I heard a whole lot of people, whom I love, call them, it somehow remained with me ever since, even till last year! It took these younger generation, who are bold enough to look at their mother, square in the eyes, without any malice or intention of disrespecting me, but have to even go beyond a certain boundary, just to make me know that I was wrong! They reminded me of myself, and how God has been using me for very many years, to speak to people, whom He loves, and wants to save, but whom others would not even dare to tell the truth. I would rather have children, and friends who are bold enough, to look me straight in the eyes and tell me that I am wrong, in order to save my soul, than those who would part me on the shoulder, while watching me leap into hell! I did not hate my children for that, I saw myself in them, and it made me proud of them. Nonetheless, I must admit that I didnt want to go down without a good fight as I had to argue with them just to prove my innocence, yet, when they all came together against me, I was fully aware that fighting over a foolish cause should never be an option! It dawned on me, that for them, it was a serious topic and not something I could just brush aside. Consequently, I began to think about it from the perspective of God, and indeed, I realized that they were right and I was wrong- as simple as that; periodT! I had to appologize to them, although, there was no Chinese present! My ignorance was so clear, when even my first son had to take sides with his eldest siblings; a guy who loves to keep himself out of any argument between the ladies! I want to reiterate, that there was no chinese person present in my home when this discussion and argument was going on. I want us to bear in mind, that there was also no visitor amongst us, whom we had to impress; it was just us as a family; my children and I! Although, we are a family that love us, yet, we had a disagreement on that issue, which God orchestrated to teach us about Himself, and how He sees things, even something, that I considered as very minor and deemed as insignificant, but which must be addressed, nonetheless. They could have chosen to ignore what I said as they know me to be a godly mother, who they deeply love and truly respect, and someone, who they know, without any shadow of a doubt, to have no a atom of bitterness against people, but love! They have always told me that it must be difficult to find a handful of people, who still worships God, and sees the good in people for longer than imaginable, like I do, thus, they know me! Furthermore, they know that we are an all-black family, and that we love our blackness! Nonetheless, they had to straighten me up, when they saw something that was out of order with whom they know me to be! On the other hand, I know what racism is, and teach on it, but God was trying to tell me that there is still something I should consider, though I am not a racist. God was teaching me that the topic of racism is one, that should be dealt with in the church, in the families, and with the children. He was telling me, that adults should learn to listen to their young children, who are more aware in terms of what seems to be considered by the younger generations as racism as they are the very ones, who feel a certain way to such things as opposed to the older generations, who have gotten numb, and accustomed to such ungodliness, and have decided to accept certain things that are bad as the norm. God is telling us, that we have to catch our children young because Satan, and his workers of iniquity have been doing a better job for their evil kingdom, than many churches, and many christian families in such areas!

We have to learn to have these difficult conversations in our homes, and churches, regardless of whose feathers we may have to ruffle in the process. God requires it from us as we can only defeat the enemy collectively and not alone. May God grant us the boldness to stand up for Him in this area, even if it would cost us so much in Jesus mighty name, amen!

ATTENTION: The PROPHECIES PAGE is faulty for now. I would like to underscore herewith, that It is not the work of the enemy, but soley human error which will be rectified over the course of time, but pending that time, I will have to attach below, the prophecy that I referenced in this particular devotional. Bear with me till it is corrected 🙂

16^th. MAY 2022

VISION 1: RACISM IN THE CHURCH!

This particular vision was one that the Holy Spirit gave me, concerning an ‘all white people’s’ church.

The Holy Spirit led me to watch scenes that played out in an all-white people’s church. In this first vision, I was made to see a black person, who walked into a church that had only white congregants, and their Pastor was equally white; a white male. As I kept watching, I saw this black person walk into this church, a man who was not threatening in any way, shape, and form, but really peaceful and who seemed excited to come into the house of God where he felt he truly belonged. It seemed to me as though he did not consider the whiteness of the congregation when he came in. I watched him as he made his way through the isle, looking for a free seat. As I kept watching, I was happy for him as I saw a free seat, which he also eventually noticed, and walked towards it, but to my shock and his as well, the moment he came near the seat and was noticed by one of the people sitting beside the empty seat, the person who took note of him decided to quickly place her handbag on the seat, thereby occupying it! I watched him go to another one, and the same thing occurred, then the third, and the fourth, he was not allowed to sit down, though they never said it to him in verbatim, neither was it written on the notice board of the church, within or without! I saw two white men who were standing by the side of the wall, a good distance from where this incident was happening, they were very busy talking to each other, and I recognized that they were either the elders or ushers in the church, or at least one of them was. The attention of the very one, whom I reckoned to be a worker in the church eventually caught what was going on behind him, against the black individual. As a result, he walked over to them and began to scold those who occupied the empty seats with their hand bags, firmly demanded from them, that they took away their bags from the seats and make room for anyone who decides to sit on it, or they should choose to get out of the church! Nonetheless, he went further to search for a perfect seat for the gentleman, where he knew he would be safe and comfortable, thereby, correcting the wrong that was done to him. The black man did not leave the church. Some of the white people who wickedly occupied the empty seats with different objects as to stop the black man from sitting on it, got up after the rebuke, and left the church, while others, took away the objects and humbly stayed.

VISION 2: RACISM IN THE CHURCH!

NOTE: This second vision was one that the Holy Spirit gave me on a different occassion, concerning a white male minister of the word, as well as concerning the former President of the United States of America as someone, who at that particular point in time had taken over the driver’s seat of the church in the United States of America!

In this second vision, I was allowed to look into a scene that was playing out inside a bus, that was on a highway. I watched this particular big bus; which seemed to me like a school bus, that had people, who I would consider to be university students inside it. They were all white students, and the driver was a white male. This scene played out during the day (full daylight). I watched this bus driving at a very high speed on an express way, and as I watched, I realized that a black person entered the bus. I saw many empty seats, but the moment he walked to any one of them to have a sit, the person seated next to it would use his or her bag to occupy the empty seats. This kept happening till he had gone through all the empty seats, and had nowhere to sit down. I could feel the cold countenance towards him; I could literally sense, see and feel the hatred within the bus, projected towards this human being. I would want us to know that nobody insulted him, or even said a word to him, yet, their none-verbal attitudes towards him, said more than any kind of verbal insults could have been able to convey. Each person seated, was either busy discussing with another person behind, beside or in front of them. As I kept watching this scene, I was appalled that nobody intervened, nobody spoke up on his behalf, and I was even more shocked, that the driver pretended as though he did not know what was going on within his bus as he had a big rear-view mirror, in a position where he could easily monitor the activities within his bus, but what he did, was diligently kept driving at a very high speed. I really wanted to help this black person, but could not as I was only a spectator, looking into the scene, and not inside it, where I would have been able to alter anything, If at all I could!

After a while, from above the scene, I began look far ahead from where the bus was, to realized that there was only one more, and last bus stop, for anyone to either, get in, or get out of the bus before a major fork in the road! Automatically, I was made to understand what the major fork in the road was all about; the left side was leading to the deep suburb; which in this particular vision was symbolic of a region where racists have their dwelling. I was alarmed in the spirit because of the safety of the innocent black man. As I watched, I saw the bus driving very fast and almost approaching the last bus stop, and I could observe that there was nobody waiting at the last bus-stop. This was when I realized, that it was the last chance for that black man to get out of that bus as failure to do so, would by no means guarantee his safety. I heard the Holy Spirit whisper to his spirit, “This is the last chance to get out of this bus! He is driving very fast as not to stop in the last bus stop. Look at the red emergency brake at the right side, by the door, and pull on it as hard, and as long as you can, till the driver stops for you to get out of this bus. Pull it now! now!! now!!!” As I watched, I saw him pull on that red emergency brake, which forcefully brought the bus to a halt, and it open. I watched the black man get out of the bus, walked to the right side of the fork in the express way,  waiting for the bus that is en route to the right side of the road, while the bus, which was filled with the wicked white driver and his students, entered the left side of the road with the same high speed, heading towards the place I considered as a village, or remote kind of place. I heaved a sigh of relieve from the stress I was under because of the looming predicament of what would have ultimately become the fate of the black guy, had the LORD God Almighty, not intervened and revoked it, just at the very last second!

Note: In this vision, the Holy Spirit clearly told me, “Susan, if you prophesy PUBLICLY what I showed you secretly, then, I promise you that I will revoke the looming calamity! Only if you publicly prophesy it!” Consequently, I did publicly prophesy it, and publicly prayed concerning it in one of my videos titled, “The mount of decisions!” and as He promised, He used it to do His miracles, signs and wonders! All glory be to God Almighty in Jesus faithful name, amen!

INTERPRETATION

These two visions are the same. They are very clear; self explanatory and literal too; They are speaking to the same topic, which is racism within the church. The owner of the church (Jesus Christ) is complaining concerning the evil going on under the sun in His church as it relates to how the black people are being treated within a segment of it. He was very precise as to how the evil is being perpetuated against his children in the church. He revealed that the wickedness against His children of this particular race in these types of churches, is very subtle; it is not something that you are aware of before getting into such churches. It is not on any notice board or the church’s mission, passion, or vision statements. He was making me know, that the fault lies mainly, with the leaders of these particular churches; that they are the main people, who are feeding such evil within the church as they are mostly interested in what they understand to be the progress of the church, without considering what progress really is in eyes and heart of God!

What the Holy Spirit was making me to understand is that this particular minister, teacher, and pastor has ungodly hidden racial beliefs, but outwardly, he is very careful about how he presents those beliefs. Thus, the tools that he uses to express and carry out his racist belief, ideology, and theology are his congregants, especially those of them, who are his “matured spiritual sons and daughters.” These are the ones who carry out his bidden, but in very non-verbal ways, that are very difficult for anyone to have any obvious evidence, needed to expose, or tie them down to the evil that they are practicing within their churches; teaching, preaching, prophesying, or perpetuating.

The LORD God, wants His sons and daughters who are struggling within themselve as to what they are witnessing in such churches, to get out of such places as the Holy Spirit is not there, regardless of what they are doing, and how well organized and peaceful such a place of garthering may seem. Wherever there is hatred,  which the people within it refuse to address, or repent from, then that is not a place where the genuine presence of the Holy Spirit is. There are many wonderful and Holy Spirt filled all-white churches, as well as all-black churches. In such churches, although, they are all black or all white, they will never push you away, or maligne you the moment you walk in through their doors to worship with them. They may be a bit shy to see you, or a bit reserved, conservative in their ways of worship, but never racist, or hateful towards you!

This was actually a vision the Holy Spirit gave me during the era of President Donald Trump, while he was campaigning for a second term in office. I was shown the hand of racism in full support of Donald Trump, who was leading the church astray, into deep deception. One thing about the most effective kind of deception, is that the enemy comes with things that appeal to our beliefs; if you are a Christian, he automatically becomes one, for the sole purpose of leading you away from Christ. If you tell him that he remind you of Cyrus, he goes and consults the theologians, like king Herod did, with the teachers of the law, in the days of Jesus as a baby, in order to acquire knowlege as it pertains to everything  about Cyrus. The next thing he would do from that time forward, is to begin to impersonate Cyrus, just to get to where he is intending to go- destination destruction! Till today, I keep asking the LORD how the enemy could have succeeded in using Donald trump to lead many genuine men and women of God astray. Even till this day, many have refused to acknowledge where they got it wrong, but insist to have the last word against God. Well, good riddance, I would say to such ungodliness because what I know to be the undeniable truth, if it is acknowledged publicly, privately or not, is this, if God decides to reject them, by unleashing the spirit of Donald Trump against them, without any one, to stand in gap- both those, who hate him and those who love him, will suffer greatly from it. Consequently, it is only wise for those who are indeed genuine Prophets, seers (watchmen and women) and children of God, to pray that God Almighty does not change his mind to grant them their evil desires, prophecies and prayers. The spirit of Donald Trump is the spirit of insanity; such, that cannot be tamed. He is the spirit of corruption beyond measure. He is the spirit of pollution. He is the spirit of injustice; lawlessness, regardless of the title he decided to give to himself; law and order! He is one of the greatest occultists of our time going by the spirit, that the Lord God revealed to me on multiple and different occassions as it pertains to him; idol worshipper! How can Christians, who claim to really hear from God, not see, hear, feel, discern or understand this? Those who support such a spirit to rule, and lead them, are divided into different groups of people in my opinion; those who are members in the same occult-club with him, like the LORD God clearly revealed to me. Then, we have those, who are just ignorant to his deception, which is not a crime as we all at one point, or another are found wanting here. There are those who are just wicked Christians, and nothing else. On the alternative, they could just be Christians who simply do not like to fall out with the crowd of the wicked! The Holy Spirit never sugar-coated anything to me, when He was revealing who Donald Trump was from the very beginning! He revealed to me that he does not know how to do right, regardless of how you try to make it seem as though he does- The Holy Spirit never lies about whom God created- afterall, is He no longer the God, Who made the destroyer to destroy?

Sons, and daughters of God, let us keep our hearts focused on God and what He wants, and ask Him to direct our parts continually.

Jesus loves us!
