Nigeria is a land of destiny. While the colonial masters, in the era of the scramble for Africa, were busy, especially in West Africa, splitting ancient kingdoms into national boundaries, Lord Lugard, the commander of the Niger area, amalgamated the Southern and Northern Protectorates of the Niger area into what is now Nigeria in 1914. With over 600 languages, Nigeria has remained united geographically from that time. Since her political independence in 1960, the country has witnessed political turmoil, civil war, riots, ethnic and religious violence, bad leadership leading to the plundering of the nation's wealth and subsequently, widespread poverty, and more recently the onslaught of terrorists threatening our corporate existence. That Nigeria has survived all the threats and still stands as a geographical entity shows that the hands of God are upon the nation.
In spite of the turn of events threatening Nigeria, God certainly has the nation in His agenda for the last days. Towards the middle of the last century, God sent a Scottish missionary by name Pa S.G Elton(of blessed memory) to Nigeria to prepare and ignite the Church in Nigeria for the end time move. The mighty move of God witnessed especially in the 1970s, culminating in raising global church leaders from the country, was as a result of the foundational assignment by the man of God. The era also brought economic wealth to Nigeria. Despite satanic confrontations of the Body of Christ in Nigeria, the country is only second to the United States in population of evangelical/pentecostal Christian and global church leadership today. Nigeria is the most populous nation in Africa and one of the most endowed with human and natural resources in the world. Her citizens are resourceful and making marks in the global sphere of human endeavours.
Yet economically and technologically, Nigeria is still 'a sleeping giant', retrogressing while other nations less endowed and without the knowledge of the one and only true God are progressing. God is depending on the Church to lead the nation in repentance and seek divine mercies for Nigeria to arise again spiritually, economically and technologically with the Church at the forefront of leadership to fulfil her end time destiny. Prophesy to Nigeria from the Bible readings of today.
Prayer/Action
* Oh Lord, move Nigeria forward, in Jesus’ name.
* Let every force of the enemy at work in Nigeria catch fire, in Jesus’ name.
