LEADERS URGENTLY NEEDED

"A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Leaders Needed Urgently

A bird somewhere in Russia for some reason, refused to join the pack as they flew South for the winter. Its' parents and elders warned, it refused believing it could tough it out alone. Winter came and it was extremely cold so the bird froze. It fell to the ground, and was covered with snow. After a while a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. Because, the pile of dung was warm, the bird was thawed out and brought back to life. It lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. Just then, a cat heard the singing bird, took it out of the pile of cow dung, and ate it.

The bird in this story typifies Nigeria as a nation, and the cat represents enemies, as a nation. We're at a stage in our life as a nation where we have to be wise and spiritually sensitive in deciding the future of our nation. Especially as the general elections are
around the corner. Nigeria no doubt has forsaken the advice of elders in the past and has been exposed to the harsh conditions of coldness as a result. And many times, we've been thawed from our frozen state by God's mercies and set free.

Beloved, Proverbs 3:5-6 admonishes, "Trust in the Lord with all think heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Trying to chose a leader without adequate input from God, will be an exercise in futility. We need His wisdom to chose correctly. We need Him to steps in, and deliver us from enemies waiting to devour us. So as Nigerians, it's time for us all to turn to him in prayer and ask Him to help us, because genuine leaders are urgently needed in Nigeria.
