THE UPCOMING NATIONAL DELIVERANCE PROGRAM (a.k.a. ITUSILE NIGERIA): PRIMED FOR ALL WITH DIVIDENDS FOR ALL

“The greatness of Nigeria will be exemplary and unmatched after God’s visitation” says the minister-in-charge of The God of Fire Global Evangelical Ministry (GOFGEM), Oke-Ina, Dada Estate, Osogbo, Evangelist Peter Kolajo in his July 2018 message to Nigerians.

 On the rationale for the deliverance of Nigeria as a country, he averred that: i) the country is overwhelmed by violence, lawlessness and helplessness of the redemptive measures to adopt by the leaders and the population, and this is reminiscent of a state of anarchy; ii) the country underperforms in critical human development indices that are reflected in increasing poverty amongst the Nigerian masses, low industrial capacity utilization, as well as decaying states of public education and health sectors; and iii) the country’s finances are overburdened by oil price shocks, sub-optimal performance of non-oil sectors, revenue leakages through gross mismanagement and stealing of accrued but diminished receipts by public officials, in the midst of competing needs for sustainable resource allocation for social infrastructure and other basic developmental needs. 

 This unhealthy state of the nation which has been perpetuated for decades through poor governance mechanisms, according to the cleric, is a complete negation of God’s divine and glorious post-independence plan for Nigeria. The actualization of the glorious Nigeria envisioned by the Almighty God is based on a spiritual blueprint resting on a tripod of: i) unity among her diverse people and culture; ii) optimal utilization of human and material endowments; and iii) walking right with God. Unfortunately, the nation’s leadership and followership alike never got the blueprint correct ever since. Rather they consider the nation’s material endowments as good only for personal aggrandizement and ethnic dominance, disunity among ethnic constituents to be used as a weapon for self-perpetuation in leadership positions, as well as engagement and involvement in evil social networks and occult practices as pre-conditions to attain individual prominence. In short, sin against God and man has brought the nation into this state of national lowliness where the country and her people have become renowned worldwide for bestial acts against humanity, and also as objects of ignominy. 

Thus, this abysmal situation must be reversed and the country and her people redirected back to a sustainable path of development, liberty, social justice and obedience to the precepts of the Lord to usher in the glorious vision of the Lord of Hosts for Nigeria. The national deliverance program (a.k.a. ITUSILE NIGERIA) is the first critical step (among other crucial redemptive measures) that must be taken as panacea to Nigeria’s problems. The forthcoming deliverance program is designed to break the evil yokes and strangleholds of the agents of darkness upon the glorious future of Nigeria and her people. It is a national call to every Nigerian irrespective of age, gender, ethnic or religious persuasion, residence or socio-economic status for repentance. 

Finally, Evangelist Kolajo emphasized that it is the God of Fire Himself that has risen in this season through His servant to deliver Nigeria and not the work of any man or prophet; and thus, all glory and honor must be ascribed solely unto the Creator of the universe for remembering Nigerians in their agonies like the Israelites in Egypt. The national deliverance program is divinely ordained by God, and not a humanly designed scheme, gimmick or jamboree for fund raising or deceit; but rather a strategic spiritual warfare to emancipate Nigerians, and refocus them to live right with God and their neighbors. 

THE RISING OF THE LORD FOR BELOVED NIGERIANS: SOONER THAN LATER

 The week-long mid-year revival from 2nd –8th July, 2018 held at The God of Fire Global Evangelical Ministry (GOFGEM) Headquarters, Oke-Ina, Dada Estate, Osogbo with the theme “Let God arise” (Psalm 68 vs. 1), and presided over by Evangelist Peter Kolajo, the Minister-in-charge of the ministry, was really soul nourishing, faith activating and salvation directing. 

In his welcome address, the cleric stated that “Let God arise” was a spiritual and strategic theme suggested by the Holy Spirit to signal the imminent God’s visitation into the world, particularly into Nigeria, purposely to touch the lives of His beloved children and transform the destinies of nations whose cries and agonies He has heard. Further, he explicated that a major misconception by many which is a nexus to man’s failure is that God is so far away. 

The Man of God made a clear distinction between physical salvation and spiritual salvation, and also asserted that naturally human beings prioritize the salvaging of ephemeral physical things over the recovery of eternal spiritual things. He cited several Biblical examples of where the Lord arose to intervene in the affairs of men and nations e.g. the cases of Jabez, Lazarus and Job. In particular, he emphasized that the antecedents to the rising of God for such interventions are for man: i) to be where the Lord purposes him to be at the particular time; and ii) to exercise a strong belief and unrestrained faith in the Lord’s redemptive power. Evangelist Kolajo advised the congregants to completely shun acts such as unbelief, murmuring against God, sins of all types as all these vices avail the Devil the legitimate leverage to accuse men before God and ultimately afflict them as individuals, families, communities, societies, nations and even the whole world with total justification because God would never betray Himself nor His words.

Furthermore, the cleric bemoaned the prevalence of sinful leaders in Nigeria that are saddled with ineffective public policies, and inefficiencies of systems and structures of governance such that have led the nation into a great decline in the standard of living of the populace, deplorable infrastructural facilities, acute level of unemployment, insecurity, religious disharmony and inter-ethnic hostilities. He stressed that whenever God arises, His judgment is always two-folded: punishments for the sinners, and rewards for the righteous ones. Thus, he warned that after the imminent rising of the God of Fire during the forthcoming National Deliverance (a.k.a. ITUSILE NIGERIA); the dishonest public officials, false prophets, occultists and evildoers in general shall experience their waterloo unless they genuinely repent while the beloved ones shall be richly rewarded and the captives of the mighty freed.

The program was capped with Evangelist Peter Kolajo advising believers to strive towards having a strongly committed and flawless relationship with God through love for Him and obedience to His precepts, while prayers for the renunciation of sins and genuine repentance, restoration of the whole nation back to God and a permanent alignment with truth, justice, Godliness and transparency in the life of everyone were offered.
