The Vision of an Empty Throne 

On Thursday, October 13, 2022, I got a call from a respected brother and minister of the God.  He had had one of his often encounters.  “Oga came again-o,” he said.  I assumed that I knew the boss that he meant – some political ruler; but I was wrong.  It was the Boss, the Lord.  In the vision of the night, he was in the dark throneroom of Nigeria, then a light appeared.  Like a spotlight gradually brightening up a theatre stage, he saw the light as it slowly took up the office.  First, it showed the empty throne, then the flag of Nigeria behind it in the empty office.  Thereafter, a voice announced, “The office and the seat of the presidency vacant.”  At once, he began to plead, “You are the King of kings.  You are the Lord of lords.  You are the President of the nation.  We surrender the nation to You …”  Then, as gradually as the scene had appeared, it began to fade off.  It struck him as a call to more prayers for Nigeria. 

When he told me that experience, it recalled a very similar dream that a seven years old girl at our Monday prayers for the nation had told years ago.  It is reported in the message below.  That was reinforced by my own experience in August 2017.  I was in one of my moments of deep meditations when I heard the words, “vacant thrones.”  I wondered what that might mean.  I came out of that experience with deep insights that were promptly written down and posted out.  It blessed the world then, profoundly.  That is the message below: “Vacant Thrones.” 

 If one should go by the surface interpretation of those encounters; if the throne is vacant and the office empty, who has been there?  Who has been running the show?  Who is about to fill it with whom or what?  What do we do within the window of opportunity?  Five years after, welcome to the message again: “Vacant Thrones.”

The wise Solomon tells us that laziness is tragic (Proverbs 6:9; 12:24; 24:33), but the irony is that some busyness is no less tragic than laziness, as we shall presently learn from the prophetic parable to King Ahab.  In that account, King Benhadad of Syria had been at war with King Ahab of Israel; Benhadad had been thoroughly defeated but got strangely spared by the king of Israel.

8. No Sons in Sodom 

Sodom gave Mr Lot plenty of grasses for his flock.  It gave him bread, like Moab, but there were taxes to pay, in the future.  Years later, the sinful cup of Sodom and Gomorrah had filled to overflow, inviting judgment from the Most High.  Heaven promptly dispatched a fact-finding delegation to the United Republics of Sodom and Gomorrah.  The findings verified the litigations that had been filed in the courts of Heaven against those places and their peoples (Genesis 18:20-21).  A sentence of fire and sulfur was reluctantly passed upon them – there had been no intercessor.  Even Abraham had given up on the people at Count 10.  He could have pushed on as the one man in the gap (Ezekiel 22:30-31).  The fires were on their way, but for righteous Abraham’s sake (rather than for Lot’s) the fires would wait until Lot was out of the way (Genesis 19: 22, 29).

1. Had I Known… 

Sometimes, potential disasters come with such alluring benefits as blind the common sense of their prospective preys.  At such ensnaring times, even the howling voices of loving caution tend to sound in mesmerised ears as the hypocrisy of jealous witches.  Usually, only after the terrible monster has claimed its prey does everyone go back to regret the road signs ignored.  Only then do they bemoan the hidden costs ignored in the haste for apparent benefits.  Nothing is free in life.  Somebody has either paid, or will; somehow, someday.  I would usually say that Moab never gives free bread.  Here’s the story again.
