God's Generals in an Evil Nation.

Major turnaround brought to Africa by missionaries who flooded it many years ago left an impact that will remain forever. The birth of Christians who grew up to become Spiritual Gaints and great Battle Axe of God. The revival move was more evidence in Nigeria as it stand today as a black nation with numerous apostles of faith, heaven ordained prominent men of God. In fact all over the world, the nation Nigeria stood at present to be the leading country when we talk about land where some right standing men before God are turning lifes around by the message of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Alongside spiritual development, there were also notable physical changes in the well-being of the people by the charitable works of the missionaries. Infrastructures, Healthcare, Education, Clothes and Shelters were made available. These drew more people to the faith as it was until date.

Not to bored you with much history. In the nation today there are clear evidences of backward movement. The nation seems to be changing with time from good to bad and now on the verge of worse. Evil increased in magnitude never witnessed before in the land. Bloodshed, wickedness, greed, immorality and Idolatry are the pillars on which the nation stand.
The troubling questions from many in the land are; why so many Christian and Churches and evil thrives, why are people laid with so much burdens in the mist of plenty, why great men of God everywhere and yet the nation suffers. Some wonder if God honours the prayer of these Spiritual Giants who sincerely long for a nation flowing with milk and honey. What could be responsible for our doomed nation.

We are a nation suffering from the Judgement of God. The amazing thing about these situation is that God will not deliver a sinful nation by the righteousness of the Spiritual Giants present therein but by action of all professed faithful people in error who genuinely return back to the Lord in repentance. Did I just say that or it was God's verdict?

“Son of man, if a land sins against Me by committing unfaithfulness, and I stretch out My hand against it and destroy its source of bread and send famine on it and cut off from it both man and animal, even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job were in that land, by their own righteousness (right standing with God) they could only save (deliver) themselves,” says the Lord God . “If I were to cause predatory beasts to pass through the land and they ravaged it and depopulated it of children, and it became desolate so that no one would pass through because of the predators,  though these three men were in the land, as I live,” says the Lord God , “they could not save either their sons or their daughters. They alone would be saved, but the land would be desolate (ruined, deserted). Or if I were to bring a sword on that land and say, ‘Let a sword go through the land and cut off man and animal from it,’ even though these three men were in the land, as I live,” says the Lord God , “they could not save either their sons or their daughters, but they alone would be saved. Or if I should send a virulent disease into that land and pour out My wrath in blood on it to cut off man and animal from it, even though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in the land, as I live,” says the Lord God , “they could not save either their son or their daughter; they would save only themselves by their righteousness [that is, their right-standing with God--their moral and spiritual integrity].” For thus says the Lord God , “How much more when I send My four severe judgments against Jerusalem--sword, famine, predatory beasts, and virulent disease--to cut off man and animal from it! Yet, behold, survivors will be left in it [escaping the judgments], both sons and daughters. Listen carefully, they are going to come out to you [in Babylon] and you will see their [wicked] conduct and [despicable] actions; then you will be at peace in regard to the disaster which I have brought against Jerusalem for everything which I have brought on it [has been deserved]. Then they will reassure you [in regard to the appropriateness of the judgments] when you see their [heinous] conduct and actions, for you will know that I have not done without cause whatever I did to it,” declares the Lord God
EZK 14:13‭-‬23 AMP

Needless to tell you about the righteousness of Noah, Daniel and Job in their time. Each of them manifested as faithful men of God though they belong to different generation. It was repeatedly revealed to Prophet Ezekiel that if all these righteous men combined together and under same dispensation; in same nation, their faithfulness can only saved them but not the nation. These truth should make us weep and cry to God as a nation not just for deliverance from enemies but a sincere confession of our sin as people so that God can heal our land. We should stop the delusion that our Spiritual Giants and men of righteousness can save us.

Talking about our nation turning unto God, I opined that our leaders should turn to righteousness. But God revealed that some of them are beasts He sent to pass through our land to emptied and make it desolate. They are the bloodshedding swords to trouble the sinful nation. They are the power behind famine and poverty in the land. Permit me not to mention names of great men of God in Nigeria, but I will reiterate that when a nation is under the judgement of God for continuous unfaithfulness, Idolatry and sin of all kinds, the righteousness of the faithful men cannot save the nation.

Father Abraham was a righteous man who was privileged to negotiate for continuous existence of two immoral and wicked nations of Sodom and Gomorrah. The answers God gave him may prompt bible scholars to quickly disproved Prophet Ezekiel revelation of God's standard. Intercession of Spiritual Giants can save a nation with good number of righteous people from total destruction. But not from consequence of sin which are famine, pestilence, swords and devouring beasts in human appearance. Nigeria remain indivisible entity and has not gone to extinct despite great evil done. Only because of the presence of both Spiritual Giants and some faithful saints.

How then do we avert this horrible situation?

and if my people who are called by my name become humble and pray, and look for me, and turn away from their evil ways, then I will hear them from heaven. I will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chron. 7:14 ERV

God said only if His children will pray the right prayer. The prayer of repentance in humility. Embarked on the journey of seeking for things that gladdens God's heart. This happened when they take a turn for a new normal. Just then the ears of the Lord will be opened, sins will be forgiven and the land will experience wellness. Please note, God never expect everybody in a nation to turn. He only required everyone who is named with Jesus Christ to depart from iniquity. The demand of God truly confirmed that the nation was in terrible state because multitude who are people of God harbor sin. It then means polluted Churches and unsanctified Christian are the cause of Nigeria woe. But our attention was focused on putting blame on the beasts performing their ordained role of plundering our wealth and health. A nation cannot be freed by the beasts sent to devour it. Freedom is in the Church. It is not in wailing and struggling but in praying.

It is time to do the needful, freedom for our nation is in the hand of God's people, His army who will uproot Economic, Political, Infrastructure and Social devouring beasts. Let the remnants(survivors) who are spared by God turn from error and seek for power to fulfill this great task of restoration. God called us remnants because many who are supposed to enlist in the army will turn to pleasure of the world out of selfish interest as Lot's wife did. Many will prefer silver to salvation like Judas. Many are beneficiaries of the nation slavery experience. Only the remnants that the Lord will save from their sin when they sincerely turned, will be made worthy to heal the land. Time has come for these army who will cut across all tribes and tongues but only with one focus. The great nation Nigeria as burden in their hearts. They are assembly of men who care less about religion but only trust in the power of God. Have you ever prayed for God to stop evil in Nigeria? maybe you have invoked the righteousness of God's Generals which we have established that it cannot help out. Please know that the righteous have to be in charge for a Nation to rejoice. The reign of the wicked is beclouded with continuous evil which provokes judgement of God. Remnant righteous! it's time to take over the scene. Time to be purged of sin and self. So that fullness of God will come through us to our land.

Note: You have set yourself up for judgment of God when an evil is enthroned King. Crown the righteous then men will rejoice.

What is This? God's Principle of Meeting Christian Needs.

The mindset to develop as true child of God on our needs and daily provision was established in the scripture both old and new testaments. This revelation is important as many today still stay comfortably in Egypt with deception and false hope that they are fairing well on the road to Canaan. Many have enjoyed the grace established by Jesus Christ on the Cross when He said Father forgive them for they knew not what they are doing. But should children of God remained in Ignorance? Will it not lead to destruction and they too will perish with unbelieving world. Let us quickly examine one important principle of God's dealing with man in term of possession. And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.  And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron...

Church and Alcoholism.

Is Strong Wine or Beer acceptable in both old and modern Church? Text: Deuteronomy 14:22-26, 1 Samuel 1:1-19.  This is one of the controversial topic among Christian communities. The new testament Church want to know why the preachers of the Gospel discouraged the people from enjoying what God made provision for in Deuteronomy 14: 26. Let's go through this study together and see to what extent God's permission was given to difference classes of His creation to benefit, enjoyed or damage their life from all He made. It will interest you to know that there was a deliberate planting of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the centre of the first place of worship(Eden) in addition to other blessed trees. Genesis 2:16-17, 3:1-3. Questions of interest. 1. Why did God plant this? Omniscient. 2. Why put restrictions? Simply put; to prove our obedience and affirm our power of choice. 3. Why double standard, Genesis 1:29 granted permission to eat from all fruitful tr...

Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani? The cry of Sinful Saints.

Many people are under the yoke of different problems and difficult challenges emanating from finances, health, emotion, social and material needs. Prayers and supplications going up to God everyday in order to receive liberation from these evil works of the Devil. The torment when a man found himself in an unpleasant situations, forsaken, despised and rejected by men. I was deep in thought how difficult such situation may be until the revelation from God about what real suffering means hit me. There is a particular heartbroken, bone draining and devastating situation. If a child of God is found in sin, every other problems should be set aside to address it. Freedom from all other evil lies in victory won when believer ceased to be a Sinful Saint. What does it mean to be a Sinful Saint? That was the question I asked when the thought troubled my spirit until revelation from scripture ignites me with truth and reality about Saints who are living in sin. Many take sin so lightly with t...

Is restoration of the Kingdom to Isreal God's priority?

United State of America before had made several attempts and speeches about restoring Israel. Isreal on the other hand had fought several war from inception but the battle seems unending. They enjoyed support from some countries and rebukes from many. The climax happened recently when President Donald Trump in 2017 formally announced relocation of American embassy to Jerusalem with his declaration of Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel. The ultimate expectation of the declaration was echoed by American Evangelical Christian Movement; as rebuilding of Jerusalem Temple in readiness for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Restoration of Isreal Kingdom is that major to God than restoration of the kingdom of God to all nations? This same question was asked by Apostle almost immediately after resurrection of Jesus Christ before His ascension. The answer He gave reflect a better prophecy to any Christian body and the true mind of God for humanity. When men are eager to use authority...

Divine approach to forgiveness of deep hurt before sunset.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:  Neither give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:26‭-‬27 KJV There was a discussion in the congregation of saints recently about the possibility of God's demand in the above scripture. The pressing question is how can error, sin or hurts too deep; be forgiven before sunset?  How possible if the event occurred in the evening of the day?  Many more queries and questions some of which the logical answers tend to buttress the impossibility of God's demand. But one thing is certain, the word of the Lord remains the only truth and source of life for a child of God. Attempt to fault or inability to obey any of God's instruction is pure manifestation of the flesh. Thus there is just one simple question children of God should ask; what is the divine approach to forgiveness of deep hurt before sunset. Answer to this question will be based on the premise that we are Christian "Like Father like son" in other...
