NIGERIA: A BARNACLES ENCRUSTED SHIP

A picture conveyed by Dr. Oluwasayo Ajiboye, President or Redeemers Bible College and Seminary

I know that some of us are still feeling very Raw from the events of the past few days... We are on our own ROAD TO EMMAUS...; Yet God of Israel has not forsaken us. WE MIGHT HAVE ACHIEVED MORE THAN ANY PERCEIVED LOSS. So let us give Praise to Him who RULES OVER NATIONS.

I was in Prayer with my Team at the UN Plaza all day today (April 1, 2015) ... Around Evening Time (EST- USA) the Lord spoke: the words were simple "THE DESTINY OF THE NATION OF NIGERIA IS STILL IN THE WOMB OF THE CHURCH!"

God suddenly spoke in a parable that was not difficult to decode. We saw the picture of a ship totally encrusted with hardened Barnacles. Only a small portion of its hull was free of this Barnacle infestation. The portion that was free was however WHITE – TOTALLY WHITE! Someone was then given a Shovel and told to start removing the Barnacles. Any one that have had contact with hardened Barnacles knows the following: Removing Barnacles is one of the Toughest Job in the Universe. It is exactly the same as removing Concrete.


OTHER POINTS ABOUT BARNACLES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Barnacles can only attach themselves to a Ship that has been wrecked or has remained stagnant for long.
Barnacles leave scars very visible on wherever they are attached
Barnacles must be removed SPEEDILY or else they will re-conquer the space
BARNACLES ARE REMOVABLE

RESPONSES

I believe passionately that this Ship is none other than Nigeria.
i. Please Pray for Nigeria. Do Not Stop... Let us KEEP AT IT; the Destiny of Our Children depend on our REFUSAL to GIVE UP ON NIGERIA
ii. Please Pray that DESTRUCTIVE ATTACHMENTS that has completely covered the face of Nigeria will somehow be REMOVED
iii. Please pray for Insight, Wisdom, Boldness and relentless resilience for the NEW NATIONAL LEADERSHIP TEAM. Jonathan prove beyond doubt that he was a gentleman but no one will stand up and say he was effective in dealing with the "Barnacles."  
iv. Pray therefore that the Hands to be STRENGTHENED to scrape away EVERY INFESTATION of the BODY Of the Nation
v. Please pray that the Buhari/Osinbajo Team will SERVE the PURPOSE of God. Remember, NOT PRAYING is not an option, the Scriptures has defined for us our responsibilities.  
vi. Pray that they will have FAVOR for with the people of the land especially when they take tough decisions
vii. Pray that that when the body of the nation is Scrapped, the people will allow the work of RENEWAL  
viii. Pray that the FEW RIGHTEOUS ONES will somehow be given a SPACE TO STAND in this dispensation.
ix. Plead the BLOOD OF JESUS over the Nation of Nigeria
x. Quit thinking like ORDINARY MEN... think like a PRIEST who carries the URIM AND THE THUMIM.

Sirs and Ma, In our BOSSOM lies the LIFE AND THE DESTINY OF THIS NATION
 
Thank You!
