National Issues
Southern Kaduna And Other Troubled Regions And Territories -By Boma Igani
The accuser become the accused. The Jews summon a religious assaination plots night and day to destroyed him. Paul landed like the spies saved by Rahab through the wall back to Jerusalem. Can the Church & missionary learn from Acts 9:26-30 when he got to JERUSALEM? See what happens:
SOUTHERN KADUNA & OTHER TROUBLED REGIONS & TERRITORIES BOTH IN THE NORTHERN & SOUTHERN PART OF NIGERIA : IS JOHN 18:1-7 DELETED FROM OUR BIBLES?
” Judas went to the garden, taking with him a group of Romans Soldiers, and some Temple guards sent by the Chief priests and the Pharisees; they were ARMED and carried LANTERNS and TORCHES ( SUDDEN NIGHT ATTACK OPERATION ). Jesus KNEW EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HIM ( THAT SHOULD BE INSIDE OUR DNA ), so He step forward and asked them, who is it that you are looking for? ” . John 18: 1-4.
The above don’t need too much introduction and explanation. It was the NIGHT arrest of Jesus by totally armed religious & political terrorists with banditry supported by terrifying Soldiers. They came in most unexpected time in large numbers.
Where they met Jesus and the condition too is the BURDEN to us at this time. If we fail to learn from this, where else? The arms of flesh had failed exponentially with all NATIONAL SECURITY ARCHITECTURE. I wonder the implications of Romans 13:1-7 that speaks about duties towards State Authorities. If the reversal is the case, take EZEKIEL 7:23-27 AS GOD’S DUTIES TO STATE OR NATION AUTHORITIES WHO HAVE FAILED TO AVERT ESCALATED BLOOD SHEDDING & HISTORIC VIOLENCE. Please read these verses very well with great understanding. Unprepared SHOCKS are here!!!!
When the enemy comes in as Flood? Complete the Scripture please. Did He not Come for Saul in Acts 9? Who else would have FULFILLED THIS IN AFRICA fearful Ananias in Southern KADUNA; North-west; North-east; Middle-belt; South-west, east & south????
– I HAVE CHOSEN HIM TO SERVE ME.
-TO MAKE MY NAME KNOWN TO GENTILES.
– TO MAKE MY KNOW KNOWN TO KINGS
– TO MAKE MY NAME KNOWN TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
To carry carry these 4 mandates, Jesus Himself had show him ALL that he must suffer for his sake. Is this restricted to Paul? We are the PAUL in this troubled zones am referring to!!!
Even before Ananias step out to meet Paul, he is praying!!. The supernatural encounters that took place in Acts 9:17-19 will take me back shortly on the night of arrest of Jesus. How do we explain this if not God. Paul preach in Damascus ( Acts 9: 19-25)? Look at what they say:
” .. Isn’t he the one who who in Jerusalem was KILLING those who worship that man Jesus? And didn’t he COME HERE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ARRESTING THOSE PEOPLE AND TAKING THEM BACK to the Chief priests? “
The accuser become the accused. The Jews summon a religious assaination plots night and day to destroyed him. Paul landed like the spies saved by Rahab through the wall back to Jerusalem. Can the Church & missionary learn from Acts 9:26-30 when he got to JERUSALEM? See what happens:
” And so it was that the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, had a TIME OF PEACE. Through the Help of the Holy Spirit it was STRENGTHEN & GREW IN NUMBERS, as it lives in reverence for the Lord”. Acts 9:31
THE CONDITION THE ARMED ATTACKS MET JESUS BEFORE HE WAS ARRESTED: JOHN 18
(A CLARION CALL SINCE 2014/ 15).
Give the Church in Nigeria few days breathing space of attacks they are facing they return back to religious rituals and forgetting that the spirit casted out will come back to spy and check before launch back the MOST WICKED ATTACKS BACKED BY MORE PERFECTED FORCES OF DARKNESS.
What did Jesus did then that we must do now? He was the one that came out and confronted them. They did not only fell back WITH JUDAS TRAITORS WHO HAD JOINED THE ENEMY OF THE CROSS, BUT NOT RECOGNIZE CHRIST (John 18:1-4).
What happened? Jesus already had Supernatural Encounters in the Garden of Gethsemane.
To OVERCOME & OVERTHROW the demonic religious & political USPHERS of Nigeria’s Throne for the Next President in 2023, the NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY FOR THE WHOLE CHURCH IN 2022 BEGINNING FROM APRIL 2022 TO MAY 2023 (14months) must be in GETHSEMANE. All the arms of the flesh in 2015; 2019 & 2023 will fail. We must learn the TRUE ACT of the spirit of Gethsemane from these;
Matthew 26:36-46 Mark 14:32-42 Luke 22: 39-46 (Special Urgent attention in the North).
Are we ready to SHIFT????
Again another Christian Author write: Unity of purpose might be different from diversity of strategy.
In Islam, they have unity of purpose – the purpose is to ensure their person is always in power. Diversity of strategy is about the different ways they go about accomplishing and retaining hat.
In Christianity, this unity of purpose does not exactly exist, particularly in matters of political Leadership.
Muslims support any of their people that is committed to the promotion of Islam, no matter where and the platform used for that.
This not the case in Christianity.
As a young Christian Journalist, I saw this disunity of purpose and that was one of the reasons the establishment of Association of Christian Journalists failed to take toots, because it was a baby that had no father.
This is my point.
I am not talking about all of us agreeing on all things as Christians. There will always be diversity, which we can’t do anything about. But when it comes to a matter, to which I gave example of, denominational interests does not allow such ideas to flourish, even though it stands to promote Christianity in general. Denominationalism is a bad spirit.
I have discussed this matter extensively in my book _How to Do More By Being More: Why a Christian Should Make Kingdom Impact…, available on Amazon at
