The old and new Testaments are replete with incidences and stories of people having divinely inspired epiphanies resulting in God communicating a message with a purpose. God seems to have chosen to speak to me many times through dreams and visions right from the very first day I encountered Jesus as my Saviour. With this in mind let me tell you what I saw:
THE ROAD TO WEMBLEY
The first one was seeing thousands of people that looked like Christians worshipping and praying at the Wembley Stadium. At that time 1992, I had never been to the Stadium but watched matches on TV. However the stadium I saw was more modern and different from the Wembley Stadium I knew. It was a different stadium but in the experience I just knew that it was definitely Wembley.
Everybody was there to celebrate and pray but the large podium erected was all set and ready but empty. We all seemed to be waiting for someone to come to the microphone. All the Christian profiled leaders, speakers and many others were there but all were stationary looking at the microphone. As I looked on and waited, the Lord said to my heart,
Jonathan, when my people gather in unity, I am the one that speaks. (When two or three gather TOGETHER in my name, there I am in the midst of them.)
I recorded the vision in my heart and rehearsed it to a number of leaders I knew at that time but didn’t know what was required of me, so l prayed about it, prayed into unity in the Body and later shelved it. Nevertheless I did not forget it.
THE PIED PIPER
The Second vision I experienced was later in the 90’s.I saw hundreds of thousands of people, probably over a million streaming out from nightclubs, libraries ,homes, streets, pubs ,workplaces , factories , churches , mosques , temples, city centres...everywhere. Some where well dressed others looked like they were homeless. Their hair styles were of all shapes, shades and styles. The striking thing was that they were all TEENAGERS!!
It looked like a scene from the Pied Piper fable with a Stephen King eerie twist as they all seemed to be responding to a certain call or sound. They had a dreamy look on their faces but their furores were rigged with determination and purpose. They were teenagers from all cultural groups and Nationalities but the overwhelmingly majority were Caucasian Brits. They poured onto the empty streets and filled the dual carriage way as far as my eyes could see. It looked like the M1.
I came out of the frame, dream or vision shouting in my mind. ‘They are here! They are all here!!’
I suddenly knew that Britain was a Christian nation and I heard the Lord say ‘’when I call, My sheep hear My voice respond and obey.
The dream of a vision that I saw where thousands or perhaps millions of young Britons were responding to God is in sharp contrast with this present hedonistic, self-serving and liberal society. As a British – born Nigerian, saved from Islam and called as a missionary to Great Britain, I see a Western world quite confused.
