I wish you all first, a happy 57th anniversary and a happy Independence Day!

I was very inspired by the words spoken by the Reverend, Professor Turaki a few minutes ago. Very illuminating and challenging words that he spoke. I think in some sense, it led to the question, who does God hold responsible for the destiny of nations?

There is a people of whom Jesus said: “you are the salt of the earth, you are the light of the world.” A people who are charged with sweetening the bitterness of hate, selfishness and pride.

There is a people described by scripture in 1 Peter 2:9. The words of the scripture says: “but you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
