    #23 - Government Uses Religion to Control People” 2 Former Christians Clash Over History, Power, and Faith

    In this episode of That’s My Time Podcast, Tolu Afilaka hosts a deep, no-holds-barred conversation with guests from different belief systems. The discussion moves from Chioma’s experiences of spiritual sensitivity and her connection to water, to portals, altars, and why blood magic is rejected. The table debates whether Jesus is the only way, the role of religion in power and control, and how people hide traditional practices while still attending church. From there it goes into God’s nature, Noah’s flood, “we are gods,” reincarnation, Ogbanje, Akashic records, and dreams that leave marks. A tense section follows on T.B. Joshua and SCOAN, deliverance, fear, and prayer water. The final stretch challenges listeners with words as spells, psalms as spell words, money and protection psalms, return to sender, hellfire, and the idea that love is the real solution.

    The RAPTURE Is Closer Than You Think | Ebuka Mic on God’s Judgment, Prosperity & the Last Days

    In this gripping continuation of That’s My Time Podcast, host Tolu Afilaka and co-host Daeola sit down once again with the dynamic Ebuka Mic, comedian and youth pastor at Christ Embassy, for a conversation that delves deep into the heart of the Christian faith, spirituality, and the power of the Holy Spirit. In this second part of their conversation, Ebuka takes us on a journey through powerful themes of judgment, spiritual maturity, and the truth about prosperity. He challenges listeners to reflect on the deep complexities of Christian life, touching on topics that often get overlooked or misrepresented. Ebuka shares his thoughts on why Christians should never judge men of God, emphasizing the fact that God’s anointed cannot be touched by mere humans. He uses powerful examples, including the words of Papa Adeboye, to remind us that there is a higher divine system of justice at play. This part of the conversation will leave you reflecting on the maturity needed to understand God’s judgment and what it means to truly walk in faith. Ebuka also tackles the issue of the victim mindset, a mentality that holds many Christians back from experiencing true spiritual freedom. He encourages believers to reject the mindset of being a victim and reminds us all that everything is working for our good – even the challenges and struggles. As he discusses the importance of choosing God over personal losses, Ebuka inspires us to see our lives through the lens of divine purpose, showing us how even the most difficult circumstances can be opportunities for growth and transformation. As the conversation moves forward, Ebuka dives into the topic of prosperity and the dangers of materialism. He shares his thoughts on what it means to walk in dominion and how prosperity isn’t just about accumulating wealth, but about reflecting God’s glory in every area of life. He talks about his own experiences, including how his father was arrested and later released by Obasanjo with just a letter – a powerful example of divine intervention. Ebuka urges listeners to rethink the prosperity gospel and to focus instead on the glory that manifests on the inside – a glory that brings true transformation, not just temporary material success. The episode also takes a personal turn as Ebuka opens up about the challenges and experiences of the comedy industry. He talks about why it’s essential for comedians to create structure and make bold statements with their work, giving advice to those who are called to ministry in the entertainment world. He also shares his proudest moments in comedy and how he uses his platform to impact lives in a meaningful way. Finally, the discussion turns to the much-debated topic of the rapture and the end times. Ebuka shares his thoughts on whether Jesus’ return is imminent and reflects on significant global events, like Queen Elizabeth’s death, and their potential connection to biblical prophecies. This conversation will make you think deeply about the trajectory of the world and your role in preparing for the coming of the Lord. This episode isn’t just for pastors or churchgoers—it’s for anyone who wants to understand the deeper meanings of faith, calling, and how to live with purpose. Whether you’re questioning your place in the world or seeking to live a more impactful life, Ebuka Mic’s powerful insights and bold statements will inspire you to examine your relationship with God and your mission on earth. Timestamps: • 00:00 – 15:00: Why We Should Never Judge Men of God & Understanding Christian Maturity • 16:00 – 30:00: Overcoming the Victim Mindset & Understanding True Prosperity • 30:00 – 45:00: Prosperity vs Materialism, Glory, and Divine Intervention Hosted on Acast.

    In this unfiltered and powerful episode of That’s My Time Podcast, host Tolu Afilaka sits down with Nollywood stars Olumide Oworu, Treasure Chikwendu, and Adegoke Adelusi for a raw, inspiring, and eye-opening conversation about acting, fame, Nollywood’s billion-dollar growth, the painful truth about auditions, stage vs screen performance, and the future of Nigerian cinema. From Olumide’s journey as a child star at 6, to Treasure’s breakout role as Ujunwa in Showmax’s Chet’M, to Goke’s classical theatre training at Covenant University, this episode goes beyond the surface to reveal the untold truths of Nollywood — the discipline, sacrifice, hustle, and resilience it takes to survive in an industry worth over $6 billion yet still struggling with structure and protection for its actors. If you’re passionate about film, theatre, auditions, Nollywood storytelling, acting careers, or the grind behind the glam, this episode will challenge your perspective and give you insider knowledge from three actors who live it daily. ⏰ Timestamps & Topics 00:00 – 05:50 – Olumide the Child Star How Olumide Oworu became a successful child actor at 6, starting with jingles, radio commercials, and Nollywood auditions.

She relives the intensity of her first stage role where she almost fainted, and why stage acting demands endurance.

They discuss improvements in production quality, but ongoing issues with weak storylines. They debate cinema culture, the beef between old and new Nollywood generations, and what audiences now demand. 1:05:01 – 1:14:00 – Life Beyond Acting Olumide talks about overworking himself, only taking his first vacation in 2024, and how fame comes with hidden sacrifices. Goke stresses the importance of balance, finding purpose outside acting, and building a life not solely defined by roles. 1:14:01 – End – Politics, Legacy & Giving Flowers Olumide shares his interest in politics and the challenges of balancing public service with acting. The trio discuss why Nollywood actors must give each other flowers while alive, and the kind of legacy they want to leave. 🎤 Guests Olumide Oworu — Nollywood actor (The Johnsons, A Tribe Called Judah, Shuga), model & politician.
