An arrow is a weapon specially formed to be sent as an offensive against a prey.
An arrow does not do its will, it is directed.
The force of any arrow depends on the muscle of the man who draws the bow!
The direction of the arrow also depends on the vision of the man directing it.
Psalms 127:4 "As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth."
We have an ailing and bleeding country! Nigeria is at the precipint of making another decision that will affect her destiny!
A country so blessed but bedeviled by visionless and selfish leaders over the years! A country that, instead of facing the common enemy of underdevelopment, poverty, tribalism, religious fanaticism, is confused, hating themselves and leaving the real enemies to roam free.
There need to arise 'stars' that should steer the wheel of this country to its destiny!
These stars are the sons and daughters who have been trained to affect their generations positively.
If we look at the Scripture, As arrows are, in the hand of a mighty man!
We know that the distance an arrow covers depend on the muscle of the mighty man drawing the bow! The effectiveness and strength of the arrow to do damage to the object in focus depends largely on the force at which the arrow is sent.
It means those who have strength of character must bring up a new generation that are void of greed and materialism. We need good nationalists and those committed to building a nation where no man is oppressed!
Where are the fathers that have the interest of Nigeria at heart?
Where are mentors who should train new breed into excellent and desirable bunch for the future?
The devil has replaced excellent fatherhood with political thugs and their unscrupulous god-fatherism for selfish nepotism!
Is the church any better?
Has the church any good material to present?
Has the mosque any selfless material like this to present?
Nigeria is a praying country, in fact we are even praying for God to come and vote in our elections; do we have who to present as a qualified candidate in character and be sure that he will do the will of God?
[[Pro 29:2]] KJV When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Let us come together, grow up from tribalism and religious bigotry and think nationhood for once.
Let us look for who has character, who has good upbringing, who has love for nation building, who is not a servant of money or power!
War, famine, corruption, and suffering do not respect or differentiate tribe or religion.
Develop your own group from coast to coast, professionals, artisan groups, likeminds, and so on and let us get credible true Nigerians!
WE CAN ........
I understand your deep love for your country and your countrymen. Just keep using your arrows of influence. "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" (Galatians 6:9).
Thanks my own brother!
The sons of the bondwoman wants to take over but as it is written, Zion must triumph over all! Besides, Mammon is worshipped with all ferocity in the temple and the way of righteousness is sold by those who should deify Him but I know that the church of Jesus must match on and no gates of hell will prevail...
Just don't forget this side of eternity in your prayers to our faithful God.
