The Eagle and The Sight

As I saw it

I saw a young man, in his twenties and a forty-two-year-old walking down the street. They were talking real estate. The young man sounded like an agent, the forty-two-year-old is someone I know but had never met physically before even though we had spoken on the phone once or twice, I recognized him immediately. He was looking for a house to buy in a prime estate and the younger man was taking him around to check out properties. It was around noon. They got to a house, the forty-two-year old said "I know the owners of this house, they were quite rich in the 2000s, what happened to them?" The young man said "Nigeria happened to them" The forty-two-year-old said, "No, they left Nigeria for their own reasons. They are not the kind of family that anything could shake out of Nigeria under any circumstances." He pointed to the "Not For Sale" on the property and said, "If they were in financial distress, why didn't say put the house up for sale? Don't be quick to assume that everyone who travelled out of Nigeria did so due to any form of distress." They moved on and found another property, a duplex. The stairs were a bit worn, and the house would need some work, but it was for sale, and the forty-two-year-old liked it. They walked into the compound, inspecting the building while they exchanged comments on the repair works that would have to be done and the possible cost as against the cost of the house and so on.

While they were talking, two men walked into the compound looking for the agent. As soon as the agent sighted them, he took off. They chased him, he scaled the fence and ran to the street. His assailants caught up with him and shot him dead. The forty-two-year-old watched the drama with a bit of confusion, he didn't know what was going on and was just standing there, stupefied by the sudden event. Suddenly, the armed killers turned around and started running towards him. The forty-two-year-old watched the drama with a bit of confusion; he didn't know what was going on and was just standing there, stupefied by the sudden event. It dawned on him that they were coming to kill him. He tried to run but it was too late. He was shot in the back several times "The last thing in his mind as he fell was "God, this cannot be the end of my story" I heard it clearly. I woke up and checked the time, it was 3.00 AM Nigerian time. I picked up my phone and called the man. I told him what I saw and asked him to disregard any appointment with any sales agent of any kind for some time regardless of whether it was real estate or car or anything else. He didn't say much. He listened, and when I was done, he said, "Thank you, sir." What happened? The Forty-Two-Year-Old had worked in the United States for ten years and saved up every penny he could towards buying into the oil and gas business in Nigeria. When he realised he had saved enough, he reached out to some people in Nigeria looking to sell their existing oil business infrastructure, like petrol stations, tankers, tank farms, etc. He knew a lot of folks are looking to sell because of the changes in the oil and gas market in recent days. He got three contacts and initiated conversations with them until he narrowed it down to only one. He did his research and called some friends he had been talking with on the issues of investment. They had several meetings and raised the funds needed to buy the business he found in Nigeria. He booked his flight and set up the appointments. He arrived in Nigeria on Friday, slept at a hotel in Lagos. The agent who was to connect him to the business owners called him several times on Friday, seeking to have a sit-down with him before the meeting to discuss strategies, but he knew the man was just looking to get some money off him and he was not in the mood to pay anyone a dime until his deal was done. His appointment was for Monday morning I called him on Sunday evening. He decided not to attend the meeting as planned after the call and sent a message to the agent and the business owners that he would like to reschedule. The agent got angry and said a lot of nasty words to him. He spent Monday morning in his hotel room, praying along with us on Dominion Prayer.
At 4 pm, he got a call from the business owners, they wanted to know if he was fine and when they could have the meeting. He told them he would reach out to the agent and get back to them. They told him the agent was killed earlier that day with another man at the site of one of their properties. What happened? The agent was a cultist, he had been expelled from the university due to his known affiliation with cultism.
He went into real estate as a means of earning a living and got juicy tips due to his father's influence. His father is a high-ranking police officer whose office conducted background checks on possible business-affiliated transactions when two parties reach out trying to find out if a business is authentic and the possible risks involved, the cases land on his father's table. His father then tells him of the possible businesses, and this leads to him reaching out to the parties to broker deals where he earns a healthy commission. When he called to cancel the Monday morning meeting, the agent reached out to the business owners and told them his client was an unserious person, but he had someone else who was interested in the business who was ready to inspect the properties. They gave him permission to take this new client to the properties. The next thing they heard was that the two of them had been shot dead. The agent was killed on the street leading to their main office block, while the other party was killed on their property. The business owners said they called him just to be sure he was not the affected party. They said their preliminary investigation points to the cultist background of the agent and retaliatory attacks based on some of his antics while in school. The forty-two-year-old was shocked to the bone. He missed a date with death by the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit.

This happened in the month of June 2025.
Thank you, Holy Spirit Thank you, The River that never runs dry I see through the crystal clear sea before your throne. I see as you open the eyes of my understanding to see. I know as you shed the light of your presence upon my heart. This Eagle is flying and mastering the realm of the Spirit with precision. You are my glory and the lifter up of my head.
