Pray for the Nation
Prayer and Today i prayed for my Nation again. I knelt down and i was filled with thanksgiving to the creator for my nation not because we are the best but because we are blessed.
Sometimes when you are from a nation like Nigeria, Liberia, Syria, Somalia etc you ask why should i pray for my nation? but the bigger question is why should you not? The good book says, the prayer of the righteous availth much.
I prayed for Nigeria today because the things which should have led us to war against ourselves did not. There is trouble in our land but the people are bent on sticking their neck-out till the end for one nation.
There is so much war going on, leaders threatening fire and brimstone as the election approaches, so much hate in the world and the words of peace relegated to the background as a weak strategy. The only option is to pray. The heart of religious extremist across the globe is filled with hate and they are bent on destroying nations, they don't listen to words but we can pray. We can pray for their hearts, that their hearts experience true love, the love of Christ.
We will pray for leaders of our nation for their hearts that they will be more Selfless and Less Selfish, so they will do that which is expected of them. And above all we pray for other men and ourselves that we do not become the men we criticize. Praying for nation will bring healing to our land and will turn the face of the creator to show us mercy.
Prayer is a tool for change. Philip James said "Prayer is the Spirit speaking truth to Truth". And i say "I have seen men talk, I have seen Prayers work". Pray without ceasing. Keep praying for your nation.
Goodbye to October.
