National Anthem by toyinaremu(f): 7:47am On Jan 23, 2017 |
Do you still remember the stanza two of the Nigerian national anthem? (smiles). I'm sure many might have forgotten but let me help you out. Oh God of creation Direct our noble cause And guide our leaders right Help our youth the truth to know In love and honesty to grow And living just and true Great lofty heights attain To build a nation where peace And justice shall reign. Reading this lyrics again, I discovered it has some fundamental prayers for everyone to observe; youths in particular. The fourth line says help our youths the truth to know; what is this truth? John 14:6 'Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.' This is a powerful verse because it completely describes who Jesus is. It is a key statement that defines Jesus as the truth. He is the only way we can reach the Father and have life, now and in eternity. Moreover, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free and for this truth to set you free, it means you need to be saved. Fifth and sixth line states that "In love and honesty to grow"; And living just and true. These are basic ingredients to live as Christians who will be just and true; in genuine love, not loving for sexual reasons, not loving for gain but loving unconditionally. In honesty indoor and outdoor, your yes is yes and no is no. Not sitting on the fence, and not deceiving that brother or sister. How much of love which you have received do you spread around as Christians? We are not called to judge anyone but to love everyone with the love of Christ. Even when a fellow fall, we're to help him/her rise again with a truthful heart of concern or care and not seeing it as an opportunity to judge, condemn or cast away! This is another opportunity to give your life to Christ and also re-examine yourself as Christians, read this lyrics prayerfully and I pray that God will minister more to you in Jesus name, Amen |
