Our God enriches us with His grace

Image
Our God enriches us with His grace, demands some work from us, and ensures that no harm befalls us as His willing subjects. Our God of all time, all places, and all people moves ahead of tradition and popular expectations. Read Isaiah 45:1-7 The Local Scene- Muhammadu Marwa Maitatsine was from Jappai village in Northern Cameroon. Maitatsine, a Mufu by tribe, became a Muslim in 1940. The tradition of the ethnic group revolved around human sacrifice and superstition. Maitatsine's followers, then, were young people, initiated into the group through the consumption of hypnotized concoctions. This brought in its wake violent crimes, an aberration to all right-thinking mortals. Sadly, the disturbing trend and source of inspiration of these criminals emanate from the heavy reliance of the leadership at the different levels of government on outlawed substances, in desperate attempts to hold on to political power. Very disturbing.

A good Disposition

Image
Our God speaks to us in our hearts. He puts good thoughts into our minds and ensures that we have a good disposition. Genesis 13:12-18 But the men of Sodom  were  wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. 14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: 15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth,  then  shall thy seed also be numbered. 17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. 18 Then Abram removed  his  tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which  is  in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.

Living with Evil

Image
The evil deeds of some state governors are limiting factors when they involve interfacing with law enforcement agencies. Indeed, the situation has become so bad to the extent that the people no longer trust political office holders to guarantee the safety of lives and property. Sadly, a number of state governors are very reluctant to move against cultists who have continued to wreak havoc in the affected states. Interaction is preferably by representation, because a lot is still hidden, that is gradually coming to light. Indeed, the evil that men do lives with them and has become their shadows. No responsible law-abiding and right-thinking Nigerian will subscribe to calls by some individuals to cooperate with criminals. Perhaps Donate

God will provide

Image
Let us believe in being rest assured that God our creator will provide for all our needs.  Matthew 6:26-32 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Good Governance

Image
  It is to the knowledge of millions of Nigerians that the basic social-economic institutions have been destroyed. The challenge now is how to fix the nation's health, education, judiciary and other institutions or ensure a satisfactory turn around. In developed countries, economic activities are the backbone of politics and, as such, distortions or reversal of economic policies or long-term strategic national objectives are rare. Sadly, little or nothing has been achieved to guarantee a good economic foundation, which ought to be the back-rest of politics. This is reflected in the awkward power-sharing, power rotation and inequitable distribution of resources and good governance. The kind of economic reforms by the government would go a long way in determining if Those-in-Charge are neophytes in the Herculean task of governance.

The Lord is your keeper

Image
Let us believe in the constant presence and protection of God.  Psalm 121 (A Song of degrees.) I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help  cometh  from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD  is  thy keeper: the LORD  is  thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

He added that the evidence elicited from the defence witness , particularly DW2 , showed that as at June , 2010 there was only one person recognized as the Eze Ndigbo or Onyendu of Oyo State and that was Chief Dr , Alex Anozie ( 1st Claimant ) ; that that confirmed the cause of action of the Respondents .  On the claim of Appellants that 1st Appellant was elected and not selected as Onyendu , whereas the Respondents were complaining about the selection of 1st Appellant as Onyendu , Counsel for Respondent cited the case of Marwa Vs Nyako ( 2012 ) 6 NWLR ( Pt.1269 ) 199 at 357 to say that :  " An election means the process of  choosing by popular votes a candidate . "  He argued that selection is also a process of choosing a candidate and the word election is all embracing and also includes selection . He referred to the finding of the trial Court on Pages 1098 - 1099 of the Records to show that what was clearly i...
