Devotion for Tuesday May 29, 2018 (Democracy Day)
Topic: God Will Heal Nigeria
Text: Jeremiah 33:6 – 9
Any
person or nation that God has blessed and that person or nation is still
suffering lack, it means that God’s judgement is upon that country or person. I
can imagine how countries that are not endowed with such human and natural
resources could be living in abundance while a country like Nigeria richly
blessed is living in want and abject poverty. The only reason for this is not
far from judgement of God. When God places his judgement on a people, some of
the following happen. They have eyes but cannot see. They have things in abundance
but they are still in want. They have bad leaders that plunder their common
wealth, corrupt and abuse of the rule of law which form the order of the day.
These things are prevalent in our nation today. However, there is still hope
for us as a people because there is no situation that God cannot change. In our
text, God assures that He will not abate his present judgements upon Jerusalem
(Nigeria), but He gives the gracious assurance of a future restoration. What
this implies is that, we should learn our lessons and repent of our sins now.
God’s word in 2 Chronicle 7:14 should be uppermost in our hearts. The example
of what Nineveh did in time of Jonah should be considered as the way out of our
present socio-economic and political quagmire we have found ourselves in. God
will heal our land.
