“And ye shall know the truth and the
truth shall make you free” – John:8:32
LIGHT FOR THE
NOW:A
nation without the truth will remain in the bondage of falsehood.
Truth is not an event. It is a
personality. Christ is the truth that carries the freedom of every country,
nation and tribe. Nigeria needs this truth. We have been deceived for too long
by those who occupy political positions because they do not know the truth.
They do not know Christ. But if a nation like Nigeria could turn to Christ, she
can recover all her lost grounds. The Bible says, “if my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves and
pray and seek my face and turn from their ways; then will I hear from heaven
and I will forgive their sins and heal their land” (2Chronicles 7:14).
Nigeria is in dire need of this personality called the Truth. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life”
(John 14:6). Jesus remains the truth we need as a nation. Our progress,
prosperity, unity, values and peace are all embedded in Christ. No man can
successfully fight corruption outside Christ. It takes the Spirit of Christ,
which is the power and spirit of truth to give a new mind-set to people; both
leaders and the led.
Corruption is a spirit and it will
only take a higher spirit which is the Holy Spirit of God, to purge the system,
keep it clean and safe from all forms of corruption. Jesus is waiting to enter
if only we can welcome Him into the system. Our freedom is in His hand and He
is the Truth we need to gain our total freedom as a country. It is therefore
imperative that believers in Christ Jesus take up positions of authority in the
society so as to permeate the country with the Truth which is Christ Jesus. The
Gospel of Christ must be preached in the top echelons of the country. Until the
Truth is accessible in a place, such a location can never see light. Physically
speaking, the emergence of light is the automatic exit of darkness. This is
applicable to all situations and at all locations globally. The Word of God has
a transforming power in the lives of believers. Also, the Word of God redeems people
from bondages. The light emanating from the Word of God frees people; enabling
them to know whom they are in Christ Jesus. John 8:32 says ‘And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free’.
And again, ‘If the Son therefore shall
make you free, ye shall be free indeed’ (John 8:36).
INSTRUCTION: Actively participate in choosing
believers as your leaders.
PRAYER: Lord, bless our country, Nigeria with leaders who
fear you and have the Truth in them, in the name Jesus name.
QUOTE: The Truth believed and confessed sets free indeed.
