SAY A PRAYER FOR NIGERIA
Jeremiah 32:17
"Ah Lord God! Behold You Have Made the heavens and The Earth By Your Great Power and Outstretched Arm .There Is Nothing to Hard For You .I am The Lord.
With the increase in death tolls and explosions in the country , there is literally not a day when you don't hear a person letting out a sigh or you don't cringe when you read the headlines or help but wonder what may be .Today be encouraged by these two separate scenarios in the bible when people were overwhelmed and terrified by their circumstances .
2 chronicles
The chapter tells of the story of a king Jehoshaphat who had been informed by his troops that there was an army coming against them. The interesting thing is that the people were terrified at first because they were afraid and they frankly did not know what to do.
"Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us . We do not know what to do but our eyes are on you."
They were not equipped to fight this army but rather than accept defeat , the king and the people sought God on the issue.They sang praises to him and he delivered them and caused confusion in the camp of the enemy.
Exodus 14
It was the same for the Israelites. Who had become so terrified when they discovered the very Egyptians who had let them go were coming against them .
" As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord". Exodus 14:10
There was a great sea before them and the Egyptian army was behind them. They had no weapons to attack them with. In spite of the Egyptians being so close, Moses the leader of Israelites, had hope in God and declared
" the Egyptians you see today , you will see no more. The lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. Exodus 14: 13 ,14
That day the sea was split in two such that the waters became walls for the Israelites on the left and the right and a path was created in between the waters and they walked on dry land such that none of their foots were wet. He was able to bring them out completely and their enemies were destroyed in one day .
We may not know how but he can make a way "Nothing is too hard for him".He who saved the Israelites , caused confusion in the enemies camp and brought that strong wind that swallowed up the enemy ,is still God.
Today, remember the same deliverer then is the same deliverer now.It may seem hopeless, we frankly may not know how but as long as he lives, there is hope for Nigeria . We may not know how the help may come, we may be limited in what we can physically do but we can choose not to fold your arms today or let out a sigh or give into fear and discouragement . Choose to look to God who is able to Make a way .
Say A prayer for Nigeria with me today.
Don't Give Up Hope . God lives!!
Have A Fab Week!!!!!
