On a fated evening I had the understanding of some things I had been searching for answers to, and I had come to understand that our Nigeria in which God Loves so much,and holds close to his bosom is about to experience something similar to what her sister, Jerusalem a city,which God also loves dearly experienced.
In the days of Jeremiah the prophet, God Revealed to him some prophecies about the beloved city he said to him "for terror from the north will boil out on the people of this land,listen I am calling the armies of the kingdom of the north to come to Jerusalem(Jeremiah1:14-15 Nlt)..This can be similar to what is happening in Nigeria our country today,have we ever wondered on the reason of the existence of the nasty and life sucking gentlemen we identify as 'boko haram' we know their existence is claimed to be as a result that they are agitating against western education. But have we ever thought to considered why us(Nigeria)?why Nigeria to spread its evils and branch out operations from? isn't Nigeria home to many Christians and Muslims alike?aren't these people constantly keeping Nigeria in their prayers?prayers against corruption?prayer against terrorism since its inception?where has all these prayers gone?Does any God really answers prayers?or does any God really care? Is God just a figurehead we pray to because we so desperately want to believe in a supernatural being that doesn't really exist?when we think of all those lives that has been lost, we wail because of we don't know what the future holds,we also don't know any other options. When the supernatural being who is supposed to watch our back has suddenly cease to exist.
Looking at this situation I turned my bible to the book of Daniel and I understood what the people of Jerusalem must have been feeling when they were captives.. but the thing with God is that he doesn't act or make any actions without informing us first yes he is that loving he considers us his creation in all he does,he foretold of the people of Jerusalem captivity-why did God prophesy such wicked prophecy by allowing the people of the north take over the city of Jerusalem?It was simple the people had departed from God they had started to worship things they shouldn't, The same case with Nigerian 'the north of Jerusalem can be equated to our north here where the boko Horam interest group are based and the Jerusalem here the other part of the country Nigeria. These sect would try to take over us and God Might just give us to them because we Nigerians have refused to worship him the way we should,we have built our own idols, we indirectly worship idols made with our own hands an example is money and material stuffs,money that was created by man has indeed caused man to be slaves to it,we have made material things Lord over us doing vile things which is unpleasant to God,we have embraced it so much it has become a nature-blood money rituals,sleeping around,and so many actions that are provoking,that can lead to the north coming out on our land.
How would we rather live?like a free citizen with upright virtues or as slaves to people who couldn't have dare to come near us if only we could change our ways
Am Going to leave this thought with us for today,may God gives us the grace to make the right decision.
what you have just narrated here could be true...but lets hope it doesn't work this way.
