NIGERIAN CHRISTIAN LEADERS SHOULD DECLARE FASTING AND PRAYER FOR ALL CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA.

WE SHOULD NOT CONCLUDE YET THAT THE END HAS COME. I STILL BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOTHING TOO DIFFICULT FOR THE HEAVEN TO HANDLE. ESTHER AND THE ISRAELITES FASTED AND PRAYED AND GOD TURNED THE PLOTS OF HAMMAN UPON HIM. THE ISRAELITES HAD NO POWER WITHIN THEM, THEY HAVE NO CONNECTION IN THE GOVERNMENT, THEY HAVE NO MONEY TO BUY AMMUNITIONS. BUT THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD. THEY PRAYED TO THEIR GOD AND HE DELIVERED THEM.

THE BATTLE OF JEHOSHAPHAT TOO IS NOT LEFT OUT, FIVE GREAT NATIONS JOINED FORCES TOGETHER TO DESTROY THE ISRAELITES. THEY CAME WITH THOUSANDS OF TROOPS AND FORCES. TO ISRAEL, THEIR END HAS COME. BUT THEY SUMMONED COURAGE TO SEEK THE FACE OF THEIR GOD AND HE SHOWED THEM THE WAY OUT. HE INSTRUCTED THEM TO GO TO THE BATTLE SINGING AND REJOICING. IMAGINE, THE ENEMIES CAME WITH SWORD AND WITH GUNS AND WITH ARROWS, JUST LIKE THE BOKO HARAM ISLAMIC SECTS CAME WITH BOMB AND GUNS, EVEN WITH SWORDS. AND YOU KNOW WHAT, ALL THAT GOD ASKED THEM TO DO IS NOT TO GATHER SWORDS AND BEGIN TO FIGHT THE ENEMIES. ALL THEY WERE ASKED TO DO IS TO BEGIN PRAISING THEIR GOD AND EXALTING HIM ABOVE THE POWERS OF THE ENEMIES AND GOD, THEIR GOD AND OUR GOD INTERVENED.

IF HOWEVER, NIGERIA ARE SUFFERING FOR THE SINS COMMITTED IN IT, THEN, JUST LIKE THE CASE OF THE PEOPLE OF NINEVEH, WHEN GOD SENT THE PROPHET JONA TO THEM TO WARN THEM OF HIS INTENTION TO DESTROY THEM AND THEIR LANDS, THE PEOPLE OF NINEVEH FASTED FOR JUST THREE DAYS, ALL IN ONE ACCORD AND THEY ASKED FOR MERCIES AND GOD HAD MERCY ON THEM AND FORGAVE THEM THEIR SINS.

WE SHOULD NOT ALSO FORGET KING SENNACHERUB, THE KING OF THE ASSYRIANS WHO CAME TO DESPISE THE GOD OF ISRAEL, AND THREATENED TO PUT AN END TO ISRAEL'S EXISTENCE. HE BOASTS OF HOW HE HAD DESTROYED SO MANY CITIES, AND COUNTRY AND HOW THEIR GOD COULD NOT SAVE THEM. HE BOASTS OF HIS FORCES AND ASKED ISRAEL TO SURRENDER, BUT ISRAEL TURN TO THEIR GOD AND THEY PRAYED AND THEIR GOD, HE WHO HAD NEVER FAILED THEM INTERVENED. IT WAS SENNACHERUB WHO PAYED INSTEAD WITH HIS LIFE AND ALL HIS THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS WERE ALL DESTROYED ALL IN ONE NIGHT BY THE ANGEL OF OUR GOD.

IF OUR GOD COULD SAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE, THEN AM CALLING ON ALL OUR SPIRITUAL LEADERS TO ANNOUNCE IT PUBLIC THAT THE CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA SHOULD FAST. I'M IMPLORING CHRISTIANS NOT TO FIGHT BACK BECAUSE FIGHTING BACK CAN ONLY IGNITE MORE FIRE.

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE WEAPON OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL. ALTHOUGH WE LOOK AS IF WE ARE WEAK AND FOOLISH, YET, OUR WEAPON, THOUGH NOT VISIBLE, IS THE MOST POWERFUL, JUST LIKE LASERS IS NOT VISIBLE BUT IS THE MOST POWERFUL AND MOST DANGEROUS RAYS. SO ALSO, OUR WEAPON, THE POWER THAT LIVES INSIDE OF US, THE POWER OF OUR GOD IS STRONG ENOUGH TO DELIVER US FROM THESE AND BRING THIS NATION UNDER HIS OWN CONTROL.

NIGERIANS SHOULD FAST AND PRAY. IF WE ALL SEEK THE FACE OF OUR GOD FOR THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS, SUCH THAT NOBODY EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING, SEEKING THE FACE OF OUR MAKER, OUR GOD, WHO HAD NEVER FAIL HIS PEOPLE IN THE PAST, WILL NEVER FAIL US. HE WILL INTERVENED. EVEN IF THE END HAS COME, WE CAN FIGHT AGAINST ITS COMING THROUGH OUR NATION. THANKS.
