TIMES AND SEASONS
"And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding" (Daniel 2:21).
In three instances in the Scriptures, God talks about "times and seasons". In Daniel 2:21, the Scriptures make it clear that God controls the times and seasons. In Acts 1:7, the Bible tells us that there are specific times and seasons that God keeps close to Himself, while 1 Thessalonians 5:1 confirms that there are certain times and seasons that the saints have been given the power to know.
Any Christian assembly that lacks knowledge of the times and seasons that they ought to know will always act out of alignment with the perfect will of God. Christian leadership that does not understand the times and seasons that God has appointed for the Church and the nation will fail in its assignment.
Ecc. 3:1-8 admonishes that there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. There is a time to love, and there is a time to hate. There is a time for war, there is a time for peace.
What time and season do we now have in Nigeria?
We are in a time and season in which iniquity is full. Every aspect of the country is brimming over with iniquity. Even the institutions established to curtail iniquity and lawlessness have themselves become lawless and sinful. To worsen matters, the Church that should be the moral standard for the country is not free. Never in the history of Christianity in Nigeria has the Church witnessed a generation of Church leaders whose only interest is Mammon. The Christian virtues of integrity, faithfulness and fear of God make no meaning to many Christian leaders.
When iniquity is full, judgment must follow. God has been sending signals in recent days that He is set to commence judgment in Nigeria. Our responsibility as intercessors is to understand what God wants to do and align with Him in the place of prayers. This is the season to intensify prayers for God to judge the wicked and the ungodly in Nigeria. It is clear that unless God executes judgment without further delay, more innocent lives will be lost, and more destruction will befall the country. Wickedness is the auto pilot in Nigeria. Only the judgment of God can apply the brakes.
This is no time to pray for God's mercy on wicked leaders, within and outside the Church. Isaiah 26:10 makes it clear, "If favor is shown to the wicked, he does not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he deals corruptly and does not see the majesty of the Lord." The wicked do not respond to mercy; they respond to judgment.
The prayer for God to judge the wicked and the ungodly in Nigeria must continue. We must pray through for God to commence judgment on evil and wickedness in Nigeria.
Isaiah 26:9 says, "For when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness."
Only the judgment of God can teach Nigeria righteousness.
Pray for judgment.
