FOCUS: NIGERIA: VICTORY OVER ALL AGGRESSORS; PEACE WITHIN AND WITHOUT
TEXT: ISAIAH 59:19; 62:1-2; PSALM 122: 6-9
INSIGHT FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYER
Nigeria is a state of many nations with many diversities. The drive to maintain common identity and speak with one voice as the most populous country among the black race, has kept the country together.
Succeeding Governments had tried unsuccessfully to create an equilibrium amidst the crises of nationhood such crisis of identity, ethnicity, participation, distribution, religion tolerance and promotion of acceptance cultural values.
However, the greatest challenge at the moment is the threat to Nigeria internal security and how to maintain peace within her definite territory. If other factors mentioned in the crises of Nation-Building are sometimes divisive, war against all aggressors and maintaining peace within and without is a potent unifying factor for continuity as a country. Only a resounding victory in the realm of the spirit can manifest in the physical combat operations of Nigerian Military Forces.
