You have been kind to your people but they have not been loyal to you. You provided them with rich, arable land filled with diverse mineral resources, on the best possible climate ever. Your map is too beautiful to behold. Your shape is a design from above, the best map in the world. You radiate greatness. Try as they might to destroy you, you kept bouncing back. You are blessed with boundless energy. You are unfortunate to have so many enemies within and without, yet they could not see your back. The Psalmist had you in mind when he said, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.” (Psa 23:5)
You survived internal insurrection, one of the fewest nations in the world
to ever do so. Corruption has been mean to you, yet you kept standing tall.
Ethnic jingoists have tried to destroy you but they kept failing at every attempt.
You are ever ready for them as they attack you ceaselessly. Religious urchins
also tried to bring you down but you kept standing and you're almost seeing
their back on the ground as usual. They have been stealing your oil, yet your
oil never dried up. You have survived the meanest kicks. The modern Ahitophel’s
prophesied your destruction in 2015, unknown to them; it was your renaissance
they were trumpeting. What a time for the doomsday Prophets within and without!
They said the 2015 Elections will mark your end, not only did you out stand
them, you went on to have one of the most peaceful elections in history.
Bad leadership has undermined your capacity yet the greatest
nations in the world are baffled by your tenacity. The World's best leaders are
often dumbfounded. So much stolen from you, yet you kept marching strong. They have stolen your money and kept it in Banks overseas, yet you are undaunted. They have been stealing your crude oil, yet your soul could not be broken. Nigeria,
you are an enigma. You are a story they could not understand. They did not know
that "Arugbo Ojo", The Ancient of Days is your backbone. They did not know that
Jehovah has decreed your enemies defeat even, before they fire the first arrow.
They did not know that the Joshua grace is upon you. If only your people knew how
much the depth of Satan has risen against you, they will appreciate you much
more.
You have always loved your neighbours as yourself. You gave them electricity
(though you didn’t have much yourself), oil, money and even send your armies to
help them out in their times of need. You shed your blood for the survival of
those nations. Liberia surely remembers your generosity. Sierra Leone will not
forget your assistance at her hour of need. What about Angola, South Africa,
Namibia, Zimbabwe and the rest of Africa which is the centerpiece of your
foreign policy!
You were at the forefront on the religious plane, for this, the
enemy has fought you and kept fighting you. Your sons are among the greatest
ministers in the world today. Despite the enemy salvo, you kept sending out the
largest number of missionaries to preach the gospel. Majority of your sons
outside your borders are doing great in the nations of their abode, while the
inglorious minority who have not fared too well are the singsong the enemy is
using to pillory your image. On a wider scale, you sons have blessed the
nations of the earth.
Oh Nigeria, the God of heaven shall remember your labour and bless
you much more. For the Lord has spoken the Joshua grace over you Nigeria.
"No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I
was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake
you." - Jos 1:5
Nigeria this is your hour. Indeed you have been bruised and battered, yet you are so blessed. Rise up great
Nation and fulfill your prophetic destiny. Your hour of glory has come and your
place in history is assured.
