GOD BLESS NIGERIA {II}




God Bless Nigeria!

Phil4:8:
Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do your best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious – the best not the worst, the beautiful, not the ugly, things to praise, not things to curse. {The Message Translation of the Bible}

Is Nigeria Blessed? You may inquire! What about the flagrant abuse of our resources, the unaccountability of our leaders or the cyclical pain of a change that might not be near or feasible? But these challenges and issues are not enough reason not to believe in Nigeria again. We have always believed in Nigeria and we will always. The matter then is what should be our disposition to the challenges we are facing currently?

Philippians 4:8 of Nigeria is our Anchor in this premise.

What is true about Nigeria? Nigeria is not a mistake. She was not conceived by colonialists or the desperation of the European incursion. God has always wanted us to be together! Because it is written:

Acts17:26 ‘From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands’

Therefore, Nigeria is a mystery!

So…

What is NOBLE about Nigeria? The Nigerian Spirit does not turn back in the face of any form of adversity. The tenacity of the Nigerian Spirit is enviable in the world over. Anything we lay our hands on always feel the strength of our spirit!

What is REPUTABLE about Nigeria? The kind of unity in spites of obvious diversity is unrivaled; our still being ONE irrespective of our tribe, language or dialect, culture and heritage is desirable. This has defied every logical permutations!
   
What is AUTHENTIC about Nigeria? The Nigeria state can never fail and will not cease to be a nation. The Nigeria state has gone through more trying times than now, if SHE didn’t fail then, she can’t fail now!

What is COMPELLING about Nigeria? Her actuality of achieving greatness is enthralling. It is worthy to note that Nigeria is able to come out fine of whatever challenge she is facing now and take her rightful place in the committee of nations!
 
What is GRACIOUS about Nigeria? The beauty of her landmark and unique features! Nigeria is so beautiful; it is a modern-day heaven on earth! 

What is the BEST AND NOT WORST about Nigeria? The Christian story of Nigeria is amazing. We are now exporting the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and the largest Churches in the world are right here in Nigeria. In fact, the largest Single - Seater Church Auditorium {Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota} is in Nigeria. God is on the move in Nigeria. No Force of Hell can stop this movement!

What is BEAUTIFUL AND NOT THE UGLY about Nigeria? We are the world’s happiest people. And interestingly, one out of every living black is a Nigerian. Our Smiling face is so beautiful and catching!   

What is the thing to PRAISE AND NOT CURSE about Nigeria? We will always be grateful for the Oil boom which has not become our Doom but has given us Room among the great Nations of this Generation. God loves Nigeria and Nigerians. . .

GOD Bless Nigeria!!!
