Then I said to them, "You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace."
- Nehemiah 2:17
Corruption is still at a high rate and it keeps evolving. Sometimes one can't but wonder what really is God's plan for Nigeria. Not just Nigeria, so many countries of the world are facing uncertainty. The distrust between the government and the citizens keeps expanding.
Nehemiah also had the same issue and he want the will of God to prevail over his nation (Jerusalem) which was in ruins. But he didn't just observe and complain, he took a step to do something about it. (Nehemiah 1)
We could go on complaining about our country, the leaders and many more, but what are you doing about it? Complaints won't change a thing, doing something about it will.
We do think our own efforts towards the building (or rebuilding) of our country is too small. It might be small but it is something. When last did you pray for your leaders? when last did you pay your tax and dues?
We blame our leaders for so many things meanwhile, we the followers are no different. Our leaders are chosen from us the followers, so they are an image of who we are as followers.
We still seek to bribe our way through everything, we seek shortcut to virtually everything. The competition to outshine our very next neighbour is rife.
If our country is to be great again, you and I have got to contribute to it.
It won't change overnight, but it will eventually change if we keep contributing righty to it.
Nigeria's Unity is at stake, we splitting into different regions wouldn't exactly solve all our problems. Like Nehemiah, the will of God will prevail over our country but it will be through you and I. Nehemiah took steps to rebuild Jerusalem. Will you take that step to rebuild Nigeria?
So let pledge to Nigeria our county to be faithful, loyal and true, to serve Nigeria with all our strength, to defend our unity, uphold her honour and glory. So help us God.
God Bless Nigeria; Happy Independence Nigeria;
Good Morning and a happy Sunday to You.
