In this generation today, of vices and vile tendencies, the torch of God's hope still burns. Even though things shall get worse worldwide, morally speaking and otherwise, the banner of divine purpose shall still be lifted up and the Father's will shall be done. In this generation, I tell you there is a generation.
A generation of purpose-seekers and not pleasure-lovers, young men and women who are set forth to fulfill God's mandate in Nigeria undaunted. Proudly and courageously exhibiting their
intransigence in the face of compromise. They have set their faces like flint, and they shall not be moved. In this generation, I tell you there is a generation.
The generation within: they are the new nobility commissioned to do the Will of His Majesty. They have been gifted with the abilities to control, direct, and develop our nation's resources. They have been imbued with the capacities to handle the diverse challenges that emanate from our cultural diversities and religious inclinations. In this generation, I tell you there is a generation.
A generation of SHARP KNIVES, ready vessels, fit for the Master's use to circumcise the Church first and then the Nation. Sharp knives in politics. Sharp knives in the judiciary. Sharp knives in education. Sharp knives in trade and commerce. Sharp knives in banking and industry. Sharp knives in health and social welfare. To get rid off Church and Country, the foreskins of filth, corruption, national poverty, ethnic and environmental rape, political and economical gerrymandering, and all other unconscionable practices. No more legislating for personal wealth but our national health. A country with the "Wa-Zo-Bia Philosophy" no longer the standard operational code: where men and women are placed in positions not because of where they come from BUT because of what they have done and what they can do.
The generation within: patriotic, may have a (major or minor) tribal root but having a national perspective; well-endowed yet humble; religiously and politically accommodating yet intolerable of unrighteousness. People who endeavour at all costs to first build their homes, knowing that the family is the bedrock of society. So we can truly say "Great Nation, Good People".
A generation already taking form. It cuts across tribal, cultural, educational, and political boundaries. You can be part of it no matter who you are, where you are, what you are doing, or your present circumstances. From the classrooms to the boardrooms, from the market to the offshore platforms, from the banking halls to the factory floors, from church to government house, from the palaces to the media houses. The call is on. The decision is NOW! It is your choice to join these people to secure Nigeria's destiny. In this generation, I tell you there is a generation WITHIN! Where are YOU???
Shalom.
