Be careful what you hear about somebody, you might be hearing it from the problem.

Not every story told is told with pure intentions. Sometimes the loudest person in the room, the one playing the victim or acting like the innocent party, is actually the root of the issue. People who cause pain, chaos, or destruction often try to rewrite the narrative before the truth has a chance to surface. They will speak first, speak the most, and speak in ways that gather sympathy, hoping others never stop to question their version of the story.

They spread rumors, twist facts, and leave out their own faults—because if they can make someone else look bad, they can keep hiding behind a mask. It’s a tactic of manipulation and self-preservation. And the sad truth is, many people fall for it without ever asking the other side of the story. That’s how good people get misunderstood, and how toxic individuals continue their damage unchecked.

Always remember: there are three sides to every story—what they said, what the other person experienced, and the truth that lives somewhere in between. Take your time to observe. Watch patterns, not performances. Listen to your intuition, not just the noise.

Be slow to judge, quick to question, and wise enough to know that the person pointing fingers might be doing it to keep you from seeing what’s on their own hands.

*"BUHARI'S DOUBLE"*

“Matters miscellaneous,” as many a fellow commentator has graciously acknowledged, is the platform I patented back in my days at Rutam House for attending to a glut of occurrences in broad strokes and short takes, lest the people who make and the people who consume the news feel neglected.

Here, in all its eclecticism, is the bulletin du jour.

In journalistic reckoning, the case of Buhari’s Double has to be the top item.

Since 2017, so goes the tale reportedly originated by the fugitive leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nigeria has been ruled by a Buhari look-alike, Jubril al Sudan, a native of Sudan — or Niger, take your pick. Buhari had died in the UK in 2017, where he was undergoing medical treatment.

Notwithstanding the fact that Queen Elizabeth had sent a message of condolence to the Nigerian government, the entrenched Cabal in Aso Rock had procured a Buhari double in Sudan and pressed him into service as Nigeria’s president.

Despite occasional stumbles and apparent loss of memory, the transition had gone so smoothly that the only tell-tale sign of the infernal switch was a scar on Jubril’s left earlobe that was not a part of Buhari’s profile.

Kanu, or whoever began the tale, and those who have been peddling it, should update their material.

I can report authoritatively that representatives of the Jubril family, having discovered the gigantic swindle, suddenly showed up in Abuja the other day and demanded to be compensated with a power-sharing arrangement at the federal level in perpetuity, plus 50 per cent of Nigeria’s oil revenues for ten years in the first instance. Failing this, they warned, they would tell their story to the whole world.

I can also reveal that the Nigerian authorities have entered into frantic negotiations with Jubril’s family to head off what is sure to earn a double entry in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s Dirtiest and Worst-kept Secret. The UK authorities are mediating.

Meanwhile, dependable sources tell me that Abuja is close to unravelling the true identity of the fake Jew parading himself on faked foreign soil as Nnamdi Kanu.

DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL FOR 15TH JULY, 2025 BY DR PAUL ENENCHE

TOPIC: LIVING WITH ETERNITY IN VIEW

SCRIPTURE: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night… 2 PETER 3:9-10.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The end of earthly life on earth is the beginning of an endless life in eternity.

Genesis 1:27 makes it clear that man is an eternal being made in the Image and Likeness of an eternal God. The meaning of that is, everyone you see will live forever. To further buttress this, James 4:14 reveals that man’s life on earth is a temporary adventure, just a fraction of man’s overall life.

So, man’s life on earth is a temporary adventure. This implies that the end of earthly life is the beginning of an endless life in eternity. (Daniel 12:2). And it is to in 8 to to to either an everlasting life with God in Heaven or an everlasting contempt with satan in hell. The truth is, God does not desire for anyone to be lost in hell; rather, He desires for people to live with Him forever in heaven after their sojourn in the earth. In other words, God is not looking for whom to send to hell.

It is possible to hear some messages that sounds as if God’s satisfaction is how many people can end in hell. Scriptures make it clear that hell was not created for man (Matthew 25:41). Hell was prepared for the devil and his angels. It is only those who reject Christ and decide to end with the devil that will follow him to hell.66y But the point is, God has no desire for the loss of any soul (2 Peter 3:8-9).

Now, wisdom demands that we pay attention to our eternal destination, the place where we will spend the bulk of our lives.

That is why today, we are looking at what it means to live with eternity in view.

1. It is living in the present with the end in mind. Living in the present with the end in perspective (1Peter 4:7). You are alive today, but the end is in your mind.

2. It means living and conducting our life’s actions with eternity as a major consideration. Ecclesiastes 12:13 says, Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of a man. For God shall bring every work into judgment with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.

Everything we do on the earth has eternal consequences.

3. It means living in the now with readiness and preparedness for eternity. That is, you are not trying to get prepared; you are living prepared (Matthew 25:13, Matthew 24:44-45).

4. It is living as strangers and pilgrims on the earth. This is living with the full knowledge that this world is not our home (1 Peter 2:11).

5. It is living in the world without forgetting yourself in the world. Living in the world without forgetting your eternal and heavenly citizenship (Philippians 3:20).

Beloved, don’t forget yourself in this world because one day, the curtains of eternity shall be drawn, and the world shall end.

Remember this: The end of earthly life is the beginning of endless life in eternity.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Live ready in anticipation of Christ’s coming. Keep your spiritual temperature high.

2. Refuse to live in sin

3. Ask God for mercy if you have erred and make amends.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to live on earth as a pilgrim. I refuse to conform to the pattern of this world. Draw me closer to You Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

“Harvard University in the United States is richer than Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, Malawi. Infact if Harvard was a country in Africa, it would be 13th richest with $53 Billion in endowments. Perhaps this is why Trump disrespected African leaders. He doesn’t rate us at all. To him those leaders were just wasting his time and that is why I chose to walk on the path where I would be respected!

It is all playing before your very eyes, wake up Africa!”

President Obama and our all-of-the-above energy strategy is the real deal. We are proud of the fact that we are importing less oil than at any time in modern history, and it has been because of the president's vision and courage

THE SCIENCE OF SIGNS

Semiotics is the study of signs. A sign comprises two components: the signifier is the denotative level, and the signified is the connotation. A sign can be an icon, symbol or index. An icon is physically similar to the object or what it stands for; its literal sense refers to the signifier, e.g. a photo of a tree or the letters that spell tree, while its connotative sign pertains to its meaning. A symbol pattern refers to an interpretive habit or a norm of a learned behaviour like a play or pause button. In contrast, an index correlates with sensory information, e.g., fire smoke or car skidding noise. Language serves as a sign that we can read ‘Lamborghini’, and it can evoke similar images in our mind by spelling the word.’ We all recognize that it denotes a car. However, the sign consists of letters of the alphabet, and its connotative level conveys a deeper meaning, e.g., wealth and status, exclusivity and prestige. On the level of associated myths, which is a secondary sign, it is a myth of success and freedom. Its cultural sign is tied to broader ideologies of wealth, individuality, and power. It serves as both a functional object and a social statement.

An English rose is a flower; however, a red rose can symbolise love, romance, and beauty. It is used in romantic settings, while yellow roses may have a different meaning and could be more appropriate in a friendship context. A sign is always interpreted in context. For example, if Warren Buffet were speaking about money, his context would generate a completely different vibe than that of a corrupt prosperity preacher. They are using the same dollar note, yet the meanings generated reflect two different attitudes, even though the money possesses no inherent meaning—it's merely paper representing currency. Its connotative meaning is always interpreted differently, depending on who we are, as we see life through our worldview. Someone who believes in the stories of a prosperity preacher will form a different image in the meaning-making mind compared to one who sees through his antics. We create the meaning.

The ocean can be a place of rest where people enjoy a leisurely swim, while for others, it may provoke fear if they have recently encountered a shark. So, even though it’s the same location, the interpretations of reality or the signified meaning can have different connotations. Consider the word marriage; in most people's minds, it represents a union between a male and a female, but in other cultures, marriage may encompass multiple wives. According to the Bible, marriage is only between two people. Same-sex marriage has been normalised in many cultures, while gender-based violence can be accepted in some, leading to a belief that it is acceptable for women to be abused in a cultural context.

Nowadays, due to the globalised internet, we must ensure we share a common conceptual map of the world when discussing various concepts. This way, when we interpret signs that represent concepts, we need a thorough analysis of what we mean to minimise the chances of misinterpretation. We should never assume that everyone will derive the same conative meaning from a sign. We might discover that individuals have attached different connotations. We must not assume that someone from a completely different nation will share that same value just because something is socially acceptable or unacceptable to us.

We don't simply knock on a stranger’s door expecting a warm welcome; it requires a level of trust and background knowledge. For that access, the people we trust are vital; that’s why we have boundaries. Yet, because we all begin reasoning from different social locations, cultures, and economic, scientific, technological, religious, and philosophical backgrounds, we will not share the same premises from which we make our decisions. No one has the same experiences. The fact that you grew up on a different street with a unique life experience already illustrates the law of difference. Even if you lived next door and were raised by Indian parents in a foreign land, it means you will experience life differently and interpret signs in a distinct way. It cannot be compared to your neighbour’s experiences.

Although we may share a conceptual understanding of the economic and political system socialisation has imparted similar lessons due to our common culture. It functions like a membrane, working collectively within the groups from which we originate. However, just as there are molecular cells and membranes, they represent different components of the whole, yet they unite in agreement to operate as one cell. That is akin to culture. It emerges through the socialisation of various systems: family, shared economy, shared education, shared politics, create common values. Consequently, we are more likely to interpret signs in a similar way. For instance, if another culture were to perceive the connotative meaning of a national flag, it would lack relativity to them; instead, it simply symbolizes a nation through its colours and symbols that represent something significant.

Thus, we must consider this when using language. Although it may be understood in English, it doesn't necessarily mean that the connotative level of the sign holds the same significance. Since our minds work so quickly in processing information, we rarely pause to dissect it and reach a deeper understanding of different perspectives, as this is part of the logic of viewpoint we gain from various places. It's fascinating to analyse thought processes to truly grasp why someone’s perspective matters. All too often, we dismiss people because their standpoint differs so much, yet we should take the time to comprehend the logic behind their thinking, as it originates from where they have gathered their information.

Something profound I've observed is that when someone speaks with authority, even if their words are full of deception, others may not be thorough enough to grasp all the nuances in the speech act. They fail to detect falsehoods because the speaker sounds so convincing, especially if they are a respected authority figure. Thus, at the level of the sign, the denotative meaning is shared, but the connotative meaning is interpreted differently. That’s why we must consider who is interpreting the sign and what the context is to reach deeper understandings. It’s essential to question all thinking, including my own. It doesn’t matter who the person is; we are all prone to human error. The only one who is perfect is God. We can make mistakes without even realising it. If we look around at all the deception in this world, every person who is convinced of that deception as the truth is real in their mind. You can see this in people who live in superstition, such as walking under a ladder. This is the second level of myth, where a new connotative meaning tells another story. While we know, hypothetically, that it is not the truth, some will not agree because that is how they perceive the world when they see someone walk under a ladder and believe it.

Currently, I have been listening to a man who has tremendous insight, claiming up to 90% truth. Yet, he has categorised Christianity alongside other religions and views Jesus merely as a mystic. However, he has misunderstood the meanings he preaches and acts as if he knows the Bible. Yet, his interpretation is so erroneous it's not funny, and he has millions who follow him. It is because he has not encountered the kingdom. I could explain all his teachings if he had the right source of knowledge, which starts with God. But if the wrong connotative meaning is inferred, it leads down the wrong path. Therefore, the study of the science of signs is vital in these last days.

STRATEGIC VISION

Do you notice that some words sound louder than others in your conscious awareness? Different seasons require different things. In summer, it brings warm temperatures, which means you must do different things than in winter, affecting many of your activities and clothing. The environment influences behaviour based on factors outside of your control; however, you need to adapt to make things work better. You won't grab a winter coat or prepare for frost, as the season doesn't demand that of you. Instead, you will adjust other patterns of behaviour accordingly. That word resonates outside of yourself, but your inner conditions and how you navigate must coexist with the environment. This might seem like a minor strategy we don't think much about; we simply adapt.

It is so normalised to do what is required; if not, we would face many consequences. Because the environment demands that we adapt, we are inherently equipped to adjust to life situations using laws and principles from a critical mind. How much more should we train this part of our mind to think strategically in resolving problems? Sometimes, it isn’t the first idea that comes to mind; we need to teach our minds to think critically.

One way to develop your mind to think strategically is to start with a small problem you might see around you, such as environment design, to help your habits align with living a high-yielding lifestyle or using your time wisely knowing when your energy levels are at their peak for tasks that might not otherwise suit you. When do you have less mental or physical energy? When is your spirit alert? Is it only at certain times? How can you become more sensitive to these shifts? When is the best time to convert your spiritual or mental energy into the outcomes you want to create in your life? Have you taken the time to plan specific tasks? What subjects will you focus on?

An unplanned life is like having the wrong clothing in your wardrobe for the season or having no firewood and freezing at sub-zero temperatures because there was no preparation. If you want to use time more productively, it’s better to sit down and allocate a couple of hours a week to prepare exactly what you’re going to target and when. Your targets should align with your purpose for creation. Was a dolphin made to fly through the air? Was a seagull created for the snow? Was an ant designed to live in human beds? Just by natural design, they fit in alignment with the vision the creator of their design put for them.
Yet humans have a free will we could spend three hours scrolling social media platforms we could laze in the sun we could seek out entertainment we could trade our time in the uncle Sam system to pay a mortgage or we could find the original blueprint for our life’s that we did not create but the creator of his creation does not make people to live for themselves he created them for himself and for his purpose.

Everyone, even Adolf Hitler, was created by God and for God, yet from his life story, we can see that he walked in alignment with an evil agenda that did not come from the creator of his design. This highlights a contrast between Mother Terrasa, who united creation with the creator and Adolf Hitler, who divided. What we must also observe is that the kingdom of light always unites and the kingdom of darkness always divides. Why am I highlighting this? It reveals that when we live out of alignment with our purpose, we are divided, as we are living in alignment with other attitudes of the heart, such as seeking comfort, satisfying emotional needs, or taking the lowest-yielding path of instant gratification. When we live in alignment with our purpose, we unite with God's will and practice delayed gratification, using the things that cost us our life, time, and resources to build the kingdom.

If there is a purpose for the garden worm, the caterpillar, the lightning, the sun, the soil, and everything that was made, how much more is there a purpose for every human being? Never give in to the delusion that you were created to sit in a church pew listening to someone preach until you make heaven, that is one of Satan's greatest deceptions he uses to stop the advancement of the kingdom.

Everything starts small, even your gifts and talents; they do not begin as fully developed, but rather as a word that may sound loud within your spirit. God has hidden so many capacities in us that you can only discover them through work. Einstein was obsessed and possessed by some ideas that never left his mind. I do not know the length of time it took him to discover the equation E = mc^2, which represents the energy equivalent of mass times the speed of light squared. The only reason I can write that equation is because Einstein passed through this world and did not yield to his flesh nature; he lived in a higher dimension, the mind. Yet, he tapped into a spiritual law that was hidden in nature; the only reason we cannot see into the dimension of the spirit could be explained by this equation. Yet right around us is another realm that cannot be seen on the material level because the faster you speed up energy and mass, the more it becomes invisible. Yet, we are dealing with two kingdoms: one that seeks to unite creation and one that seeks to divide it.

If we start with the book of Genesis and proceed to Revelation, both kingdoms are highly strategic. God had a strategy even before the fall. He created people to fulfil the path to the coming Christ. Satan started with a strategy but tempted Eve at the fall, just using words, images, and suggestions. Then he perverted God’s plan and will by causing Cain to murder his brother Abel. Right now, we are in a strategic era of the gospel of the kingdom being preached to all, nations and we all know that this vision will come to pass not because I said it, it is written, we are just positioned in the time of the dispensation of the calendar of God to fulfill his vision. The strategy of the church must be beyond the four walls into every territory and cause the light of the culture of heaven to unite creation with the creator by discovering our purpose for creation we bring godly alliances with man and God just by our obedience as God has given us grace and apostleship to fulfil this vision. What words are resonating loudly in your spirit, you hear, to reunite creation with the creator in time and space, connecting them to eternity.
