Are we deceiving ourselves?

Are we deceiving ourselves?   

    

Africa is the world's second largest and second most-populous continent. At about 30.3 million km² including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20.4% of its total land area.

Nigeria, an African country on the Gulf of Guinea, has many natural landmarks and wildlife reserves. Protected areas such as Cross River National Park and Yankari National Park have waterfalls, dense rainforest, savanna and rare primate habitats. One of the most recognizable sites is Zuma Rock, a 725m-tall monolith outside the capital of Abuja that’s pictured on the national currency.

I pray that this book opens our eyes and change our thinking of how we should end a war that we can’t explain how and when it started.

In recent times, Nigeria has been a country that has been on so many news headlines, not because of the blessings they have acquired but because of the numerous crisis that have been going on even up till now.

So many blamed the political leaders for this crisis, others blamed religious leaders.

I can’t put the blame on anyone but I think that we may have gotten it all mixed up because these two (2) bodies are supposed to work hand in hand in leading the society especially in Nigeria.

Now, I will be writing some things that some may find offensive but it is okay to criticize so long they are some traces of truth.

Nigeria is a country for all, it is not meant for a particular people, region, ethnic group, religion, tribe, or clique.

Some people from the north are trying to make it look as if Nigeria is theirs forgetting that the country is neither their inheritance nor the inheritance of any man but it is for everyone.

The killing that has been carried out so far in Nigeria has mainly been done by terrorist from the northern part of Nigeria and since nothing has been done about it, they move from the north to carry their plan to other region of the country.

Most of these people from the north uses ammunition that are worth millions to carry out their attack but at the end of the day, we hear questions like “who are these people?, what do they want?, who are sponsoring their activities?. Please for God sake lets be sincere to ourselves and say the truth. I dare to say that most of these terrorist are being sponsored by the political people in the northern region, with the aim of taking power to the north they terrorize those who are not northerners. We are only fools when we know the truth but fail to admit it. It is time we make a brave step to stop these blood sucking demons. But can we stop them when we are deceiving ourselves?

The people who are supposed to lead us to stopping them either does not know how or they are stupid thinking that god will come down from heaven to help. There is a parable that “says evil prevail when good men do nothing”. But some of us may ask, if we know the truth they why are we not stopping them? These are some of the reasons we have been unable to stop them.

1.Religious leaders: first of all I will be talking about the Christendom; some of you may pardon me. But I will start by saying that “do not play with what you are supposed to fight with, do not pamper what you are supposed to conquer”.

if you read numbers 21 vs. 21 in the old testament, the bible was talking about how Israel was seeking for permission to pass through a land called Sihon but in vs. 23 the bible said "But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel. Then Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon".

But Christians today don’t want to fight; they are praying themselves to death allowing blood sucking demons to suck them dry. I know many will say that is Old Testament and in the New Testament, the bible says we fight not against flesh and blood. Some people just quote the bible with little or no understanding. Now look at the chapter carefully “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places”.

Flesh and blood in the bible means carnal things. For example, a man fighting over a woman who is not his wife is fighting for something that can suit and satisfy his flesh. A man fighting over some amount of money is fighting for what can only satisfy his interest.

Principalities and powers.  Principalities in the English dictionary mean authority or position held by a person or by groups of persons. These people could be government in power, head of schools, head of religious body or traditional leaders who are in charge of controlling ordinary people.

And now the bible says we should fight against principalities where these authorities are used as a threat to the society, it is important that we fight. It doesn’t actually have to be a spiritual battle but if situation arise where it is a physical battle, it is important to fight back. But nowadays you hear religious leaders advising their congregation to fold their arms and just watch and pray. I won’t just be watching and allowing some Fulani herdsmen to kill in my community when I can actually defend myself with a weapon. Some people don’t understand this that is why they fall victim to these terrorist. There is a line in the same chapter that says “against the rulers of darkness of this age”. So now how do we fight against the rulers of darkness of this age? First of all we have to admit the truth because you won’t want to fight a person if you have not admitted that the person is your enemy. Secondly you have to be ready to fight whatever and whoever you thing is bad. Jesus said none is good expect God, meaning that whatever is not Godly is bad. Let me say this plain, we can’t keep claiming that we are one nation when the northerners are causing nuisance, the northerners are bad people and bad people only do bad things. They are devils and you don’t negotiate with devils so I will advise every church, school, business organizations to be ready to fight even when they tell you that they don’t want to fight you. Now why will the Fulani herdsmen be giving privilege to ammunitions when we Christians are not even allowed to carry weapons? Christians should be ready to carry guns if they want to survive in the country. Thirdly Churches only want to show case their services on the media with the aim of winning souls. It is not a bad thing but what is the essence of winning a soul if you cannot protect the soul under your roof or under your church. Now the media should also be a means where the church can inform the society about those who want to fight against the body of Christ because the government doesn’t care and so won’t do it for them. Government office holders are more concern with their families and their pocket so should pastors be concern with their congregation and the gospel, don’t wait for the government. So I urge every Christian body to expose the wrong doings of these blood sucking demons from the north. Lastly, pray, in this new generation, people now only pray for finances and material things forgetting that you can’t enjoy these things in a war zone. In the bible, even David would seek the face of God before going to war. I urge every Christian to pray for the nation, rather than praying self-centered prayers, pray for the nation. In Matthew 17:21 the bible says “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” There are things that cannot progress except we come and pray with one heart. We must understand the ministry of intercession in Nigeria

2.Political leaders: for the record, I said it, 95 percent of these political leaders are selfish and lazy. They are the number one problem of the country, Nigeria.

With the numerous parties and governmental personnel, we would have hoped that Nigeria should be moving to a point where other countries would wish to be like us.

Most Nigeria leaders are born liars who deceive the society with what propaganda is better than. If it is stipulated that propaganda is an offense with a death sentence, I will have to go for the post of those carrying out the sentence so that I can send many politicians to their master who is Satan the fathers of all liars.

They steal money and then take their families abroad, as if that is not enough, they take bribe and give bribe and this has led to the problem Nigerians are suffering.

                   “Dear politicians, you are took your families abroad after stealing money. You take bribe irrespective of what the consequences may be because you don’t care who it may affect and you give bribe to those who are supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow because you wish to still be elected so that you can keep bribing them even after 20 years forgetting that America is not your home, you are black and not white and one day your children will have to come back to your country because they cannot be allowed to rule in the white man’s land because their fathers were traitors to their own country. 

Karma is inevitable and one day it will be you and generation turn”.

                                                                                      Yours faithfully

Nevertheless, they are still some politicians who are still good and are ready to stand and fight for what is right. I must urge those who are willing to stand up right, those who are willing to make Nigeria a proud nation, those who want people to respect them because they once led the country, those who want to look back and be proud of themselves, those who want their children to be proud that their fathers fought for their nation to stand up and fight for the Nigeria because one day your children will have to inherit what you have sown.

I urge also the society to abstain from any kind of money that will lead you into destroying the country. Heroes are real and you can be one.

For those who are avoiding trouble, what are you afraid of? What more can be worst? You fight now and your generations live peacefully or you fear now and your generation continues to fight the fight you refused to fight?
