To everything there is a time...
this is a time to pray and fast FOR NIGERIA, if we want God to save this nation and we her people from the evil plans and machinations of the many "wolves-in-sheep-skin" greedy, mercenary, egocentric, and eccentric megalomaniacs who are trying to keep us fooled in their guise of political and economy leaders, but who are determined to destroy Nigeria to suit their neo-colonialist imperialistic feudalist agenda. This type of deliverance does not come by merely wishing or desiring it, fellow Nigerians...we MUST fast, watch, and pray! SHALOM!!!
Today is the 41st day after the 7/7 London bombings that consumed so many lives and spread the terror dragnet into the UK, taking the life (amongst others) of young Anthony Fatay-Williams, and nearly killing our beloved Professor Pat Utomi (who was in the adjacent carriage to one of those bombed underground carriages!)!
Using Anthony Fatayi-Williams as a point of contact, we pray (Fidau) for the repose of the dead, and the strengthening, by God, of all the lovd ones of the deceased and traumatised, as muslims would on the 41st day after their fellow-believers' death...(Anthony was the only son of a cross-religious union...Anthony's father, Dr. Tunde Fatayi=Williams, who is a son of Nigeria's first indigenous Chief Justice of the Federation, is a muslim, whisl his mother, Marie, is a Christian)...using the words of the Koran's Al-Fatiha (Opening Chapter)..."In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful...Master of the Day of Judgement...Show us the straight way; The way of those on whom Thou has bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath. AND THOSE WHO GO NOT ASTRAY"...May God be with Anthony's family, and with all other bereaved and grieving families who are bearing the burden of lost and maimed members of their families who are victims of the terrorism-dread that's holding mannkind hostage today all over the world; may He forgive all the terrorists who feel compelled to resort to this extreme and murderous style of protest against what they perceive (rightly in some cases...but never right enough to justify mass-anihilation of innocents...NEVER!) as an unabating oppression by political powers that act with seemng impunity; whilst we pray that God places His fear in the hearts of all leaders and peoples of the world's nations, so that truth, justice, equity, fairplay, freedom, and the restoration of human/ecological/economic/politicaland other rights can reign throughout the globe, including in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestinia, Nigeria, the UK, & the USA, amongst all the countries that still are far from the God-destined ideal of a righteous world. We Christians look forward to the second coming of Christ which will herald true utopian idealism and righteousness in life, and on earth! Meanwhile, may we all fear God enough to respect and dignify human life which none of us can create. May we learn to love humanity enough to stop suicide and murder, whether politically or economically driven. May we lay our prayers before God, and truly practise our professed putative faith (whether Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, Confucian, or other...) in the Supreme Lord's omniscience, omnipotence, and all-encompassing love for what is best for us. Let us pray more and prey less!! Amen. SHALOM!!!
