Welcome to Mitchelle Obatu's Blog

Are you always conscious about making good impression every single time because you want people to like you or speak well of you? Lol. I have been down that road until the Holy Spirit had to point it out to me so I can deal with it. It's up to me to put off and put on, you get? In actuality, it's impossible to make everyone like you. This is actually a subconcious thing, a personality of sorts especially in people with the Melancholic temperament. But, you will see you will feel freer when you simply be you, do your thing (the right way - God's way) and have no care in the world what anyone thinks. So here goes.  The only real way to be free in life is to  stop caring what others think of you once and for all . You know exactly who you are. I think one of the worst things you can do to yourself is to focus on how others see you. Trust me, worrying about whether they like you or not  is just a waste of time , well, for the most part. There are a few times...

A Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation in New York has garnered controversy for its decision to host a pagan sculpture on their property. An artist's rendering of a sculpture of the Sviatovid idol, based off a Medieval pagan deity was put on display at the church in September 2019. The idol was a local Slavic god of war, fertility, and abundance in the Baltic region. Speaking on its erection, someone said: “Admittedly, and thankfully, the purpose of Sviatovid in this festive context is not worship, but mere interest. Yet, there is something inside that recoils at erecting an ancient Slavic deity in a church chancel of the same God who commanded, ‘You shall have no other gods before me’ (Exodus 20:3, ESV). "To put a false god in the same spot as God’s communion table, regardless of the fact that it was not during a worship service, raises questions of prudential judgment and is possibly sacrilegious,” he added.  On contacting the church, they said: "If S...

Hey! How are you doing? I'm doing well😉. Woke up this morning to study the book of Mark 11. Lol. Sincerely, when you study the Word, ask God to open your eyes to see His wonders out of His Word. It's amazing what you'd find in there. It's an endless stream of revelation. So...I want to share a lil bit of what I got. I called it 'the faith formula'. Hehehe... curious much? Ok, get this - God's Word is simple. It ain't complicated unless you make it. It also has every answer you may need. Yeah, you can take it to the bank. What the world needs is Jesus. He is the only cure for their sickness. Ok, lemme not digress too far. Back to the faith formula. Jesus gave us a clue (He loves leaving clues, lol) as to how we can bring things to pass in our lives and it all starts by speaking - speak it into existence. Let me tell you what happened before Jesus said what He said in Mark 11:22-24. Jesus spoke to a fig tree and the next day, it was fo...

Kanye West recently did a new album - Jesus is King and people are wondering...hmm... what's up? Is he a believer now. His wife, Kim K, speaking on 'The View' where she was guest said, "Kanye started this to really heal himself and it was a really personal thing, and it was just friends and family.  He has had an amazing evolution of being born again and being saved by Christ.” “People always ask, ‘What are you worshiping?’ It is a Christian service, like a musical ministry. They talk about Jesus and God,” she said.  Remember, Kanye West also started holding pop-up concerts. *How do you know someone is saved? With the heart he will believe and with his mouth he will confess that Jesus is Lord.

There are people who have survived suicide. What did they do and what are they presently doing to stay above depression and suicidal thoughts? If you feel suicidal, please find out. Surely, sweetheart, there's always hope for you but you'll need to come to a decision to work it out and win, because I know you can. "With God all things are possible..." This woman, Sarina, who writes this piece below had been there twice. Twice she attempted suicide and now shares how you and me can help suicidal persons.  According to CP, there i s a common perception that if someone talks about suicide, it is only talk with no intention behind the words. However, the reverse is true and speaking out is an indicator of real intent. Insiders  encourages viewers to be alert to those around them, to listen and pay genuine attention.  When asking someone how they are feeling, do not be satisfied with the expected ‘Fine, thanks.’ There are ways to help those who are depressed ...

A new reality TV series, "Calling the Called", which talent-scouts pastors, has been launched. For 13 weeks, contestants will be put through “rigorous challenges” for over R1 million worth of prizes, which includes a new car, a television contract and a chance to study towards a degree in theology or related studies. All hopefuls need to do is to prepare a five-minute sermon and they could be in the running to become a preacher with a TV show, joining the likes of Pastor Alph Lukau, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and Pastor Tshifinwa Irene, who are currently ranked high on SA’s richest pastors list. Zallywood  director Ruth Mabona said:  “This is one trailblazing show that will impact the lives of many South Africans. "We have seen shows about talented singers and soccer players, but this is unique in this category of television content. We are looking for an anointed and gifted preacher, someone who is called to preach the gospel but don’t have resources ...

It no longer news how churches in China are vehemently trying to be suppressed by their government. Even the Bible is not freely circulated. They have underground churches and the other churches who are known to the government are controlled by them. Why is this? What's happening? It is reported by a human rights magazine that churches in China 'stuff' central province of Henan have been forced to replace the Ten commandments with President Xi Jinping's quote amidst pressure from the government. They say the ten commandments have been removed from nearly every Three-Self church. It's part of the Chinese Communist Party's effort to 'sinicize' Christianity. The Biblical commandments given to Moses, which include “You shall have no other gods before Me” and “You shall not make for yourself a carved image,” have been replaced with quotes from Xi. “The core socialist values and Chinese culture will help to immerse various religions of China,...

Hey! So I promised I was going to share the bizarre terms and conditions given to an aspiring musician by a record label in Lagos and here it is. I know this artiste personally and his story seems to bring to life to all the stuff I read about how far entertainers are willing to go to 'blow'. So he met up with...(not mentioning names but he's a celebrity) for record label negotiations after they contacted him. So it turns out that it's almost slavery, but some people are willing to do anything for fame and money-power, abi? This also includes using juju to make the song sell if they require that of you once you sign up with them. He wrote: " These Shylocks try to persuade u to sign with them by painting the beautiful side of the whole agreement and  many artists sign out of desperation. "Some of them up there are gay or bisexuals so they offer u the option of rituals or become a gay or even both of them coupled with some other abominable acts."...

In a quest to save their congregation from addictive sins like drinking and fornication, some Russian priests got into an airplane and doused the city of Tver in holy water, in a bid to cleanse it. According to Oddity Central, they boarded a small plane and brought with them 70 liters of holy water and two icons – the “Inexhaustible Chalice,” said to be able to cure people of alcohol and drug addiction, and one of John the Baptist.  A married a couple that claimed the husband had been miraculously cured of alcohol addiction in the past was also present aboard the airplane. * Let me tell you what is the cure for every form of addiction and sin - the Word. Holy water does nothing. Rituals won't work. Expose people to the Word and deliverance will come. Luke 4:18 says, "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me and has anointed Me to...preach deliverance to the captives..." Preach the Word to people and when they catch it, watch them burn for Him.

As I was making a pot of chicken and beef sauce, a thought struck me about salt. Do you know that no matter how delicious or appealing a food may look, if it doesn't contain salt, nobody will eat? Nobody wants a tasteless food. Salt is the most important ingredient you can't fail to miss when cooking your food. And Jesus calls us the salt of the earth. "You are the salt of the earth...," He said. That kind of like points to our mission as God's children - our purpose; the 'why' we are saved. But what happens when salt loses it taste? Jesus says that it is thrown out to be throdden underfoot. You are the salt of the earth. Give your earth taste. Let the earth be sweet and liveable because of you. Where hate is found, bring love. Where there's darkness, shine your light. Where there is no hope, share hope. Let the earth experience Christ in and through you. Be salt. Fulfill your purpose 😉. Finally, my food, lol👇👇👇👇

This has been a topic of debate. Will a Christian go to hell after he commits suicide? A pastor named Jarrid Wilson recently committed suicide. Speaking of him in church, Greg Laurie, the pastor where Wilson attended stated: He is in heaven now. But another woman, Elizabeth, countered it saying: Doesn’t scripture say that ‘no murderer will enter the kingdom of God?’ Isn’t suicide murder of one’s self? Doesn’t the Bible say that “murderers will have their part in the lake of fire”? Isn’t the last act of a person committing suicide, self-murder?” Responding to Elizabeth, a man replies that suicide isn't murder but a crime of passion. He explained that Jarrid  didn’t earn his salvation, that was Jesus – and NO amount of sin or mental illness or any other variable can EVER take that salvation away. Jarrid’s eternity in Heaven has been secured by the blood of Jesus that covers his sin since by grace, through faith, in Christ alone, Jarrid was saved – and his life spoke to such...

Have you ever seen the picture of indoctrination? This is what it looks like. A BBC resource is said to be teaching children aged 9-12 that more than 100 ''gender identities' exist. Biko, is this not an intentional sowing of confusion into the minds of impressionable youths. What will we have in future? What know of society are they trying to create? The Bible remains for me, the final authority. The Bible said that the Creator created them male and female (Genesis 1:27). So as far as God is concerned and I am concerned, it's either you are a he or you are a she. No matter how much Bob Risky tries to change his gender, he will always be a man; a he. No amount of cosmetic or plastic surgery can change your gender. Bottom line: there are only two gender identities - a he and a she.

At the age of 27, Rick Warren's son committed suicide. After his death, his parents revealed that their son had been struggling with mental health since childhood. So I believe Pst Rick Warren understands to a great extent a suicidal person and what he may be going through. And he said they are to remember these three things: - There's a purpose for your life. - You are loved. - You are needed in this world. * Sincerely, there's a whole lot of suicide cases, depression even in the church. Can we talk about this soon.  What do you think can push someone into depression, suicidal thoughts and then suicide? Is it mental, spiritual or just physical ailment?

I like being real guys, so let's get real. Lol. Some women, when choosing their spouse from the string of suitors, use the popular statement, "Na love I go chop?" But the truth is that when you get inside marriage, you'll find that you need all the love and affection you can get for you to enjoy your marriage no matter how rich your husband is. *fact*👌 Humans naturally gravitate towards love and affection. Oh, we love that! With affection comes attention. And when you give a woman attention, it makes her feel attractive; wanted; desired. Let me give you a small tip: One very good way to sadden your woman is to make her feel unattractive. And sure you know that you can't truly be happy when your wife is sad. A woman is the homemaker, and when the homemaker is unhappy...hmm. Little wonder the Bible says that you should love your wife like you love your body. I know some guy will say, "Money nko, women too like money. With money in their bank account yo...

Cannibalism is not something to be even as much as imagined or experimented. But a certain  behavioural scientist called Magnus Soderland is suggesting cannibalism as an answer to climate change. Is he for real? Magnus believes that cannibalism is the future of food and more work has to be done to dispel the taboo surrounding cannibalism. He says that if people are gradually exposed to cannibalism, the idea will become mainstream. In other words, more people will buy it. You see where the world is headed? When I read this, I began to think what it would be like in a world where humans ate humans. Let's say they start with just eating dead bodies. It's only a matter of time when they will crave for sometime fresher - a fresh, warm, living human. Soon enough humans will begin to prey on themselves. It becomes the survival of the fittest. The stronger preys and feeds on the weaker. Do you get the picture? What does it sound like? A jungle! The animal kingdom! We are cr...

Earlier today, I had a very interesting conversation with someone close to me and he made some shocking revelations about the music/entertainment industry in Nigeria. Believe me I was shocked. So shocked that I was surprised that I was shocked. I know these things naa. But I realize that the reason I was even more shocked was because I didn't read this information from somewhere, neither was it a hearsay. I got first hand from someone I personally know; who is close to me. He also is an aspiring musician. There is a price tag for fame. It's either you do it God's way or you do it demonically. But should you be surprised? With what you see in their music videos these days, the truth can't be far-fetched. For these labels to sign you up, there are terms and conditions and I will be spilling those terms and conditions here very soon. I shiver at the fate of aspiring musicians and musicians in general. Not just in Nigeria but all over the world. Musicians, includi...

Ever encountered fake pastors or prophets? How do you know them? Jesus gave us a clue - by their fruits. Look at the physical product of their lives, it tells a lot about who they really are. By why are many Christians being deceived by them? The problem is the object of their pursuit. Many Christians are pursuing miracles, signs and wonder when in reality they should be chasing after the Word. And whilst they chase the Word, signs and wonder will naturally follow them. So what are you pursuing? Watch the video and you will hear a lot more. Please share. Thank you😘
