GOD BLESS NIGERIA

“But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” (Rom 5:20)

This verse of scripture gives me lots of hope. When there’s a lot of sin, grace comes along and triumphs abundantly.

There is hope for Nigeria. Today, October 1, Nigeria celebrates her 49th anniversary. As far as we can see, greed, corruption, crime, religious crisis seem to hold sway. But, light shines brightest in the dark.

We are too closely scrutinized in International airports worldwide. Our name seems to be soiled. People are afraid to associate with us. Why? The criminal minority with the loudest expressions.
Poor, even though we are about the 6th largest exporter of crude oil.
Colin Powel is reported to have said that the wealth of the UK and the US combined does not compare to the natural resources found in Nigeria. But, we are still one of the poorest nations in the world.

I can’t shake this feeling. Nigeria would one day become one of the greatest nations this world has ever seen. There is a lot of sin in Nigeria; this is what gives me hope. Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity. The stone rejected will one day be the chief cornerstone.

God will raise the greatest gospel teachers and preachers from Nigeria, that’s His style. He that is forgiven much will love more. That’s Nigeria.
One day, Nigeria will become one of the safest and most beautiful nations in the world. The gospel will do it.

One day this dark nation will bring light to the world. Grace tells me that the least expected becomes the most expected.

I believe in the Nigerian dream. I’m proudly Nigerian. I’m a part of that dream.
God bless Nigeria.

Amen brother!

Take a look at Uganda ... it was the first African nation to broadcast Pastor Prince's sermons, and on their own initiative too ... some of their government leaders have also visited NCC for Sunday worship ... I believe Uganda will rise up fast and soon.

What God is doing for Uganda, He will do for Nigeria ... God Bless Nigeria!

Amen Stan,
Something is already happening!

NB.
Nigeria is in a much better shape than Uganda though.
