focus: NIGERIA-RISE AND FULFILL YOUR PURPOSE IN DIVINE DESTINY
Texts: Isaiah 18, Hosea 1:10
Insight for effective and fervent prayers
Nigeria has a great promise in God’s end time agenda. It is a nation blessed by God in several respects. With abundant natural, human and mineral resources; arguably, Nigeria is a country to beat, even by the developed world. Strong prophetic words have gone out on Nigeria since the early seventies on how the Lord is going to use Nigeria in His last days gospel mission work. We thank God that in fulfilment of this prophecy, the Lord had raised up great and effective servants of His, in this land, who have taken the gospel all over Nigeria, Africa and the rest of the world. Among these was a saint called home, our Founding General Overseer, Pastor(Dr.) R.A. George and our current visionary General Overseer, Pastor (Dr.) Elijah O. Abina. The Lord had used the GOFAMINT to bear up the torch of the gospel as a foremost indigenous gospel church which has been used by God to challenge christiendom to higher grounds in Nigeria. Today, many products among those raised up in GOFAMINT are great instruments God is using in many other Pentecostal Churches and ministries in Nigeria. So, let us know that Nigeria still has hope as long as we are ready to pray today and play our part as Christians.
Prophet Jeremiah was considered to be a prophet of doom, a harbinger of bad news. In the scriptures we discovered how Jeremiah was lamenting over the impending destruction of Judah because of their wrong doings; in this instance, he was not speaking based on his physical senses, the things he said were spiritual. Interestingly, the prophet’s predictions capture the picture of present day Nigeria – wickedness, corruption, oppression, unspeakable moral decadence, and now terrorism. These points to the fact that Nigerians have removed the God-factor from the equation. Nigeria needs our prayers. With our prayers we can restore the hope of the gospel, stem the tide of corruption, bring back prosperity and reposition Nigeria in the comity of nations (1 Tim. 2:1-2). For Nigeria to experience the change we desire, the Church must rise up and fulfil her divine mandate, for our Lord says, ‘we are the salt of the earth… we are the light of the world. We dare not fail Him.
