Democracy Day: Dry Bones Shall Live Again – Read Osinbajo’s Powerful Message To Nigerians

– Osinbajo calls for sacrifices, prays for Buhari in Democracy Day message
  • Professor Yemi Osinbajo called on Nigerians to be ready to make sacrifices
  • He said the country need people ready to do their jobs in spite of the odds
  • The acting president said this was needed both from leaders and followers
Acting president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has sent a powerful message to Nigerians urging them to be ready to make sacrifices as that would put the country on course to be great.
The Punch reports that Osinbajo gave this message at the 2017 Democracy Day Interdenominational Church Service held at the National Christian Centre in Abuja on Sunday, May 28.
Speaking on the theme of ‘The Dry Bones Shall Live Again’, the acting president said Nigeria needed teachers who were ready to teach and doctors who were ready to deliver their services in spite of all odds.
“When we look at our country, it is not the state it fell into that is the story but the story is how the people react when you see the nation that needs to be helped.
“While the politician and cleric look the other way when they saw the man that was half dead, the Good Samaritan had compassion on him, bandaged him and took him to the hospital.
“Who truly loves the nation? Is it the priest that said a prayer and walked past or the politician that looked and walked past or the Samaritan that took the wounded to the hospital, paid some money and said ‘treat him, on my return, I will offset the bill’?
“The nation requires those that can make the sacrifices to make it great. They are those whom Jesus spoke about; people that may not be of note but are prepared to make the nation great again. Some are doctors,
teachers, young graduates.
There is sacrifice of integrity against corruption. When you speak against corruption, it fights back, so you must be ready to make sacrifice no matter how highly placed or small you are. Teachers who are prepared to teach, doctors who are prepared to provide health services, no matter what.
“Make the sacrifices required to make our nation great whether you are a leader or a follower.”
Osinbajo also prayed for the quick recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari and his safe return back to Nigeria.
Apostle Sunday Popoola of the Apostle of the Word Communication Ministries and Founder of Christ Family Assembly Churches also spoke about the issue of the rumoured coup saying those involved should desist.
He said: “If you are out there like me, you will know that Nigerians are fed up and are waiting for something to spark. We need to be patient with the present government which has something to offer. Coup cannot work now and will not succeed.”

Recreating your world. Book by pastor Chris

1) RECREATING YOUR WORLD - Oyakhilome lays the foundation to explain why we can change our lives or recreate our worlds. He quotes the scripture Acts1v8 'But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you...' As a christian i.e. when you are 'born again' one of the experiences is to receive the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit. Oyakhilome states that when the Holy Spirit comes upon/in you, He gives you power. This power is an ability to cause changes. Equipped with this power we have the ability to recreate our world. 2) YOUR CREATIVE ABILITY - Oyakhilome states that the creative ability in us is our imagination. He gives scriptural evidence to show that our imaginative thoughts can manifest in the natural realm. He emphasises the importance of imagining positive desires and brooding over them until they become clear. Our imaginative power signifies what we can see. In the process of recreating our world we must have a definite vision of what we desire our...

Interesting facts about Africa.

One interesting fact about Africa that is truly amazing is that long before humans were around (the early Mesozoic Era), Africa was joined to the other continents in a massive continent called Pangaea. Over millions of years this huge continent broke apart shaping the world landscape as we know it today in what has been referred to the continental drift. This was at first a speculation and was first put proposed by Abraham Ortelius in 1596. Later on, the concept was independently (and more fully) developed in 1912 by Alfred Wegener and the theory of continental drift was superseded by the theory of plate tectonics, which builds upon the previous continental drift and better explains the former concept.Africa is the most populous and the only black continent. Despite the delayed development in the continent, Africa is an interesting continent to visit and in it abounds lots of talents. There are lots of known and interesting information but there are much more unknown facts about Africa...
