Political office holders at all levels of government have been enjoined to use their positions to improve the welfare of Nigerians out of the current hardship in order not to attract the unfavorable manifestations of the Hand of God upon their lives.
The General Secretary of National Prayer Movement, Pastor Gbemiga Olakunle stated this in his Democracy Day message released on Wednesday in Abuja.
His words: “As revealed in the Scripture (Exodus, 7: 3-5), while the manifestations of the Hand of God brought deliverance to the children of Israel in the land of their bondage in Egypt, it was different ball game to those who held them captives – the Egyptians. The same Hand of God that brought deliverance to the Israelites brought judgement to their taskmasters”
According to Pastor Olakunle, the Hand of God’s manifestations in a man’s life or in the lives of a group of people can be favourable and it can be otherwise depending on which side of the coin they may find or put themselves.
He further stated, “when the Hand of God is favourably upon a man, a group of people or a nation for good, it can bring divine speed, provisions, security, favour before God and man and open doors where one may least expected. In other words, breakthrough of manifold dimensions in every area of their lives will be the order of the day in their daily activities”
“When, for an instance, the rulers of a nation are self – centred and they pay less attention to the general wellbeing of their citizens and most especially the less privileged ones, such group of rulers may be unwittingly attracting the unfavorable manifestations of the Hand of God upon their lives, their children and their generations yet unborn”
“Let us be well guided so that we can use our good contacts, connections and privileged positions to sow good seeds into our relationship with God and fellow humans thereby advancing God’s courses on earth and at the same time leave good legacies for future generations”, he concluded.
