Difficult situations

 In the times of deep distress as a result of troubling circumstances, rest in the Lord, rather than exhausting all available resources.  You ought to yield yourself to God for peace to come to your soul. When you are confronted with difficult situations let God take over.  Read Psalm 142.

A New Creature

 We must relentlessly pray for our leaders at all levels to be able to, with the fear of God, assess and evaluate the people in despair through transformed and spiritually restored eyes, for such leaders to become responsive, responsible and accountable.

Only then, they will now possess the rare ability to resist the evil urge of manipulation suppression and oppression of the people. Read 2 Corinthians 5:12-21

The Elected

Nigerians have continued to ask a very important question with no answer-Do the people's representatives at the Federal and State levels know how appropriated funds have been spent in the present dispensation?
The expectations of the people revolve around the pursuance of development at all levels of governance with vigor, but sadly, the contrary is the case.
As the ''Elected'' remain in the saddle, the groaning of the people is increasingly becoming very loud.
Those elected and appointed continue to intensify efforts to work for their pockets, even as mum is the word from all arms of government, in the face of corruption and insecurity.
The insinuation is that the government revolves around propaganda that is designed to achieve nothing.
Praise singers, sycophants, and hangers-on have now taken over the public space, while the beneficiaries of the massive misappropriation only condemn the anti-people policies of the government in closed doors and hushed tones.
The vile state of mind of the ''Elected'' has influenced them to do the unthinkable in recent times.
Every institution established to ensure law and order, fester in corruption. 

The law enforcement agencies, the civil service, the Judiciary, and educational institutions stink.
The absence of an edifying ideology and clear vision of an ideal and inspiring leadership coupled with their self-serving attitude, greed, banality, and propensity for anarchy has not helped matters.
The ''Elected' rule by fear while the helpless hungry citizens continue to suffer. 
Evil reigns to the extent that the ''Elected'' make use of the beliefs and superstitions of the population to acquire greater power over them.  These are indeed perilous times.

Ceaseless Prayers

Image
 Let us pray ceaselessly for God to open the eyes of those who have political power and have become committed to unjust economic policies and deep social injustices.  Amos 8:4-14 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;  yea , and sell the refuse of the wheat? 7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as  by  the flood of Egypt. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I wi...
