ManHooD!

Hello sir, I love your piece on manhood! It's so radical and inspiring, full of energy and hope. Very vital! But sir sincerely I'm scared that there where revolutionary undertone! The type that broke up china and the type that destroyed the tsarism of Russia! The type that annihilated the French royal family.

My Fear is that it is easier said than done. Actually I'm reluctant to share this with you, cos I love your write ups and respect you a lot. I've been following and our Facebook friendship dates back a while now. The thing is I must voice out my concerns from the voice of the spirit.
It's not everything you said I have problem with! I agree we need to fight and not keep quiet we need to voice our opinion! But of late God had being making me to understand the power and importance of spiritual warfare 2 Corinthians 10:3; "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal!..." You may complete it and continue till verse 4, But what I wanna point out is that the weapons are not carnal yes! Carnal.

When a man shouts, screams, carries arms, placard, engages in civil disobedience and still does not see the change he wants then he becomes tired and frustrated and asks questions what is really happening, are things not bigger than  anticipated!
The right of every believer to fight is recognised! Just that we do not fight carnally (and by carnally I mean we do not fight expending our strength!) Elijah fought! Moses did, Jesus did too. But not physically Samuel did too.

Elijah did not fight with any carnal weapons he fought with Prayer! James 5:17-18; "And Elijah prayed and it did not rain, and Elijah prayed again and it rained look at this great influence!"  Moses went to Pharaoh to protest when Pharaoh refused he went to God! And prayed, he prayed down the plagues that forced down the hand of Pharaoh and Even killed Egyptian first sons! Jesus didn't go about protesting it was as he was preaching and teaching that he spoke against the leaders the Pharisees! Jesus did not go out with his own agenda! His mandate led him to speak against evil, he was speaking against evil to make people feel better or realise they had a defender. Whenever he was persecuted or challenged he spoke against those that challenged him.  Jesus understood spiritual warfare that was why he said those that live by the sword shall die by the sword.

You see there is a better way to fight the system sir! And it's called intercession! Now that God has awakened you to the oppression of his people you need to engage the Lord and find out how to go about this.
Remember... 2 Chronicles 7:13-14.
"When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
This scripture brought me to reality, that the reason why chaos persists is that the body of Christ has not taking their rightful positions. If only we realise the earth is ours for the taking.. If we are passionate enough to take up the cause of this nation as ours, then we would get solutions...

Humility is key to the change we need, actually we can talk all we want, but we might never get the results we want because we feel to big to beseech God and intercede.

If God has put in your heart a burden for this nation, seek his face to know how he wants you to fight, and remember we do not war after the flesh, for our weapons of warfare are not carnal.

 God Bless Nigeria!!!
