WHO HAS BLESSED US Thursday October 1, 2015
Text: Ephesians 1:3 – 6 Memory verse: v 3
We
wish Nigerians at home and in Diaspora a Happy Independence Celebrations.
Indeed we are a blessed people even before the nation Nigeria came into being
just as our bible reading says. Spiritual and heavenly blessings are the best
blessings; with which we cannot be miserable, and without which we cannot but
be so. This was the design of God for us as Paul tells the Ephesians before the
foundation of the world, that they should be made holy by separation from sin,
being set apart to God, and sanctified by the Holy Spirit, in consequence of
their election in Christ. This was the condition for their continuous blessings
from God.
Unfortunately
it is not so with us. Thus our conditions are worse than that of the wicked
because we have sold ourselves to the devil. We now suffer amidst plenty and
the blessings of God have been hijacked by very few sons of Ishmael. That we
are blessed is not in doubt. We should therefore return to God is true repentance
as that is the only way to retrieve the blessings that have been hijacked.
Remember that we should be the praise of God’s glory in this Land (1:11, 12).
Let us rise again and make Nigeria great.
Food for Thought: Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach
to any people (Proverbs 14:34).
Prayer: Heal our land, O Lord and make us great again in Jesus name.
