Our leaders may have no clue how to ameliorate the current security situation in the country, but, Jehovah does.
Zechariah 10:6b MSG
"Because I am their very own God, I'll do what needs to be done for them.
Father, YOU alone
know what to do at all times, we pray that you do what needs to be done.
These faceless people perpetuating and sponsoring misery, killings, kidnapping and Banditry, are probably less that 0.1% of our population.
We pray today;
For every ill wind they have sown...
Hosea 8:7
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind:
Jeremiah 15:2 KJV
And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the Lord ; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the
sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
Let Your word be made manifest upon the enemies of NIGERIA in Jesus name

We must never entertain the idea of tiredness, giving-up or surrendering to the dictates of d wicked few in Nig
They will DRY UP like leaves in summer.
This is their lot
Isaiah 1:30-31 NIV
You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water. The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire.”
The wicked amongst us,
The very few amongst us making life miserable for d majority,
The
sponsors and perpetuators of bloodshed in our nation.
They will burn together with their cohorts.
They will all begin to DRY up and fade away like leaves in summer.
God will uproot them.
God will pull down their altars.
God will overthrow them.
Just 48hrs to go.
48hrs to a new experience.
48hrs to unexpected connections.
Daniel 1:3 KJV
And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;
An unpopular name in
the bible.(ASHPENAZ)
Mentioned just once.
He was a master servant In the king's palace.
He represents men that are strategically positioned.
1. ASHPENAZ was a eunuch & a scout too 2. He had access to d corridors of power. 3. He had the king's ears. 4. His job was to identify
talents, groom talents and then, open doors for them. 5. If you found favour in the eyes of Ashpenaz, you were almost 100% certain, you will find favour before the king.
6 Ashpenazs' are major players.
Gifts and callings aren't enough, your need an ASHPENAZ.
One man or woman
A. A Holy God cannot tolerate sin. 1) One sin can make all d difference in the world.
a) It made a difference for Israel. (defeat)
b) It made a difference for Achan. (death)
c) It can make a difference for you. (damnation)
2) God does not "grade on curve," but on absolutes.
B. Sin is never purely private. 1) ISRAEL has sinned, THEY have stolen, THEY have lied.Josh 7:11
a) Yet Achan is only one to be revealed 2) One bad apple ruins the barrel.
a) Reason - toxic gas is given off, encouraging rot
b) Same in churches.
c) Unchecked sin by one person can pull everyone down.
3) Private sin off-limits? Not to God.
There is the story of a Lonely woman who met a widower in a church and had an affair She had no guilt or remorse.
IT JUST TAKES ONE TO BRING US DOW
No one is immune
Many people have been deeply impressed with d writings of a man called Gordon MacDonald.
Billy Graham said of one of his books: "It struck me right between the eyes with conviction & I wish that I had read it
many years ago."
Another prominent Christian leader described him as "one of d most Godly men I have ever met."
He was d pastor of d largest church in New England & taught at seminaries.He became d president of d Intervarsity evangelistic organization, one of d biggest in America
Then it came out. A sin from a few years back was exposed, and MacDonald was forced to resign.
The sin was adultery. Celeste, his wife was so shocked she has never trusted him since, and it's been over 20 years.
He was forced to step down as president of Intervarsity.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, loved practical jokes.
Once he sent a telegram to each of 12 friends.
All were men of great virtue and respected in society.
The telegram said, "Flee at once, your secret is discovered!"
Within 24 hours, the story goes, all twelve had left the country!
There may be some playful exaggeration here, but the
point is usually true that many people, including
Christians, are not what they seem to be.
James 1:15 "Then after our desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death."
SIN GROWS.
Sin always takes you further than you wanted to go.
Sin Cost you more than you want to pay,
Sin keep you longer than you want to stay.
I have often heard this in so many instances, "God No Go Shame Us..."
First thing first, God shames no one, and has never shamed anyone.
The only fellows or gang God ever public shamed was satan and his goons
Colossians 2v15 NIV
And having
disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.e (Col 2:15|NIV-)
Colossians 2:15 MSG
He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets
Colossians 2:15 AMP
[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].
It is not in God to shame anyone, rather, poor decisions, poor actions, poor
