Text: Psalm 46:
1-2(KJV)
God is our refuge
and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear,
though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst
of the sea.
Friends, as a nation we have a place of refuge
as we are faced with storms in different areas like political
instability, economic downturns, genocide, killings, insecurity, moral decline,
injustice, disasters, or spiritual coldness. These storms often shake
foundations and leave citizens anxious about the future. Psalm 127:1- Except the Lord keep the city, the
watchman waketh but in vain. And Nigeria is not exceptional
in a time like this. Our wisdom limits and storms are inevitable but the
scripture above assures us that we have a place of safety in time of trouble. 2 Chronicles 20:15 - The battle is not yours, but God’s. Yes,
God reveals Himself as a sure refuge, a present help,
and a shelter that no storm can overwhelm. Just as Noah and
his family were preserved in the ark while the world faced a flood, our nation
Nigeria can be preserved if we return to build on righteousness and seek God’s
mercy, today. Proverbs 18:10 - The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth
into it, and is safe.
Amazingly, God doesn’t protect individuals only
rather God shields nations if we turn our hearts towards Him. Remember, when
systems fail, our God never fails. God’s sovereignty stands unshakeable. His
protection is real. His mercy is available. Psalm
91:4-5 - He shall cover thee with His feathers… thou shalt not be afraid of the
terror by night. His covering is unshakeable. I pray as a
nation we shall look to Him as to find stability even when everything else
looks uncertain. I encourage us as individuals and collectively as a nation to
repent, to pray, and to humbly seek God, He shall steps in by His mercy this
season in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINT:
Oh Lord, be a refuge to our nation as we hide under Your wings. I
declare peace to our borders as mercy prevail over judgment as a shelter in
every storm in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: Remember, Nineveh was spared
from destruction when the people turned to God. And we shall turn to God, too.
