Faith…what
is the meaning of faith? People say that Nigerians don’t have faith that we
mainly believe in miracles, pastors and prophets. That may be true; I mean you
could see the way people beat themselves to get a part of the chair that Pastor
Adeboye sits on after a service or after he gets up on Sunday.
If
faith is so much in Nigeria, as big
as a mustard seed, then I think that there would be no more problems in
Nigeria. But how can we say that Nigeria is faithless if faith is mostly belief.
Let
us take a look at things that happened recently, if you could believe that if
you wear red on one day or chat on 2go you would die then why wouldn’t you believe
that Nigeria could be great.
If
you could believe that India beat Nigeria in a soccer match, 99 goals to 1 and
it was the great Thunder Balogun that scored the winning goal, after FIFA in an
emergency meeting during the match concluded that if Nigeria could score just
one goal it would suffice for them to be declared winners of the match…and u
have no faith
Let’s
get more biblical here…
If you could believe
that a snake could slide up to a woman and tell her to eat apple, and she
replied the snake…they were discussing. If you could believe that, then how can
you say you have no faith?
If you could believe
that a fish could swallow a man and take him to his destination, swallowed him
in the its’ belly. He sat there for three days, the enzymes in the fishes’
stomach decided to go on strike those three days and yet you have no faith.
If you believe that two
men were walking and a chariot of fire came and took one of them, or that a
small boy killed a seasoned soldier with a small stone or that a virgin woman
gave birth and you can even stake your life on it then you cannot say that you
have no faith.
Nigeria presently needs
people that believe in her, in her future, in her resourcefulness; well enough
to fight for it and to fight anybody that stands against it.
Let us stand up Nigeria
and fight against a dead future… all we need is faith
Faith as small
as a mustard seed
Faith…
