OPEN YOUR EYES WIDE, GOD IS ABOUT TO DO A NEW THING IN NIGERIA.
NIGERIANS, IT’S TIME TO THINK FORWARD, IT’S TIME TO THINK THE WAY OUT!
WE NEED TO MAKE A CHOICE ON THE WAY FORWARD
YOU CANNOT BE SETTING A TRAP FOR A BIRD AND IT STILL FALLS INTO IT-IT IS THE HEIGHT OF FOOLISHNESS
I WARNED PASSIONATELY WITH UTMOST TEARS THAT NIGERIA WAS MAKING THE WORST CHOICE OF THEIR LIFE IN 2015 AND WE HAVE SEEN IT.
I WILL NEVER BE PARTISAN IN MY LIFE, I LOVE THIS COUNTRY; the devil KNOWS I DO.
I WILL BE THE LAST ONE TO JUMP OUT OF NIGERIA.
WE ARE IN 146 NATIONS TODAY, I CAN LIVE IN ANY OF THEM BUT I WON’T LEAVE THE FLOCK OF GOD BEHIND AND FLEE.
PROPHETIC WORDS ARE NOT JUST STATEMENTS MADE OUT OF THE BLUES, THEY ARE AS RECEIVED FROM THE LORD.
- Bishop David Oyedepo at Covenant Hour of Prayer || Youth Chapel || 24th February, 2023
Again tomorrow we are making a choice for the future of this nation.
- May each one be equipped to make the right choice that is based on knowledge!
As I mentioned earlier, there is no political party in this nation without a good number of Winners in them. Church Gist. In fact Winners are founders of some political parties. But we need to make a choice on the way forward. This is not the Nigeria I grew to know. Proverbs 27:12. In case you cannot see, those who can see can help you to see.
I warned passionately with utmost tears that Nigeria was making the worst choice of their life in 2015 and we have seen it.
- May we never go the wrong way again!
Proverbs 9:12; Proverbs 1:17. You can’t be setting a trap for a bird and it sees it and still falls into it. Church Gist. It will be the height of foolishness.
- May we survive this highly sensitive time!
Biblical requirement for leadership is dictated in Exodus 18:21-24.
Verse 21: Able men connotes capacity – mental capacity, physical capacity, moral capacity. Only those who fear God believe in justice and equity. Church Gist. Those who don’t, do not care about the level of wickedness being meted out on people. “Men of truth”: Proven integrity – It’s scarce in town. Solid character is scarce in town. “Hating covetousness”: Not accumulators, not treasury looters, not people you cannot define the source of their wealth.
Now, the net is spread again and birds are falling into it. What a world we live in! It’s time to think. We used to sing this song in those days when we first got saved: 🎶stop stop stop stop, everybody stop. Stop stop and think. Church Gist. Stop stop and see🎶
Stop and think! I believe the task of leading a nation like ours will not only require mental capacity but strong character and physical agility to match. Open your eyes wide. Church Gist. God is about to do a new thing in Nigeria. We will not continue to go in cycles in the name of Jesus! Stop, everybody stop. Stop and think. Stop and see the end of the path you are taking.
I will never be partisan in my life. I love this country; the devil knows I do. I will be the last one to jump out of here – I’ve been saying that for years not because, “Okay! They have establishment” (you say). We are in 146 nations today – I can live in any of them but I won’t leave the flock of God behind and flee. Church Gist. God forbid! I won’t leave my ancestral home and be a fugitive somewhere – God forbid! Stop and think.
I came out this morning to help you to think. Please stop and think. They made balloon promises to you in 2015, you walked into it. The balloon burst almost immediately. Stop and think. Anti-corruption became multi-corruption. Stop and think. Just the throne into the sky – phew! Deborah burnt to ashes in today’s Nigeria. A Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) official beheaded before the glare of the camera. Church Gist. Fulani herdsmen went on rampage destroying farmers and they still come and tell you, “We are going to do this.” Do what? Has anybody commented on it? God save Nigeria and you also, be sensitive! Church Gist. They give you N10,000 and you’re running around like a mad man. What’s your problem? What political class? Political destroyers! What class? They destroyed people and you are not talking. Which political class?
You have heard me in Nigeria going forward- Part 1. Part 2 will be out today. Take time to read it, study it and be wise. Proverbs 9:12. The money they gave you in the last election I’m sure it is still there. How can? Church Gist. To buy your destiny? How can! Destiny of your nation? How can!
I was shouting this in 2015, some members of this Church were washing their mouths and they suffered pepper. Prophetic words are not just statements made out of the blues. Church Gist. They are as received from the Lord. If Nigeria makes another mistake now Sir … God forbid!
Stand to your feet.
Prayer:
- Lord, deliver Nigeria from making another wrong choice. Deliver this nation from going backward.
Now listen, no tribe in Nigeria is superior to another. Watch the 1963 constitution. It was a union, it’s not one dominating factor. Even the 1999 constitution, espoused federal character- they have buried it. Even Christians, mumu mumu! For what? What stops any part of Nigeria from producing a President? Church Gist. It’s not a gift, it’s not somebody’s offer – “We offer you” (they say). Nonsense! We own this country together!
Well, caution! I don’t think any member of this Church will play the fool this time. Today you have Muslim-Muslim tickets being propagated, tomorrow you have Fulani-Fulani propagated. Next tomorrow you have governors transferring to their own brothers. Because the federal character has been destroyed. If they destroy it at the top, they destroy it to the level of the local government. Church Gist. Some local governments will become the heritage of certain families because they have seen it done on top. People don’t think forward; people are so myopic.
A nation as religiously divided as Nigeria? What? I pray that the bleeding of the heart of Nigerian people will bring us out of this.
That the bleeding of the hearts of Nigerian people will bring us out of this! Amen!
Thank you, Jesus! What are you talking about? So a set of people will be dominating others, on what ground?
Please think forward! I was in a lecture at Covenant University and Landmark University joined together, and I was talking about leadership etiquette. Leaders think the way forward, leaders think the wayout and leaders think solutions. You are not a leader if you are not thinking forward or the wayout just mumu-mumu about. That’s not life!
As one of the fathers in the land, not by mouth, with millions of followers directly and by extension, I have a stake. Anybody who says nonsense must be a fool, I have a stake, I have a stake here. Church Gist. Many lives shall be transformed, many are still being transformed. Our schools are running with heavy quality. I have a stake.
Nigerians, it’s time to think forward, it’s time to think the way out! It is time to think solution! It’s time to think about the coming generation! It’s time to think a vibrant and forward moving nation! It’s time to think so! I won’t say the other side.
But I saw a vision in 1992, a gruesome vision! I have been fighting to see that the mercy of God prevails against this sinful and wicked nation! I saw that vision on May, 23 1992 not now. I saw what is happening now then. Church Gist. God confides in His Prophets on things ahead but the good news is: Let hands be joined together, the wicked shall not go unpunished! The killers of innocent people shall not go unpunished! The destroyers of the destiny of young children shall not go unpunished! The abductors of children from school shall not go unpunished! The shooters of men in church shall not go unpunished!
Prayer:
- I commit myself to thinking forward, I commit myself to thinking of solutions and the way out! So help me God!
No nonsense mumu mumu vote please brace up! Wisdom is justified by God’s children. We are redeemed to be wise people not dummies. Thank you Jesus!
