The song PASSWORD came to life some years ago when he was to obtain some information from his daughter’s laptop which was passworded and he couldn’t achieve this until he put a call across to her in school and she sent her names in a particular order as the needed code to assess the gadget. And it worked.
Timi sat down to ponder over this, just as he was thinking, he heard the Holy Spirit ministering to him saying, man, just like the name of your daughter became a secret code you need to open a gadget, that is how the name JESUS is the essential and the indispensable secret need of this world that many do not know except those He tells or His father in heaven reveals to. Matthew. 16:16. No wonder the bible says the secret of God resides among His saints.
