When a country is blessed by God, the blessing is authentic. " I will bless those that blessed thee and curse those that cause thee ". God's blessing will never cease in our lives including Nigeria.

A country blessed by JEHOVAH.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that baba God has a hand in all these facts. That original blessing and grace is still with israel as a nation. Even in our unfaithfulness God is faithful

A special project by God

And a particular set of people wants Israel dead. They forgot that he who God has blessed, no man can curse. I love Israel!

Israel is a unique country. Small, but powerful! They will always remain relevant . Hit like if you believe God has a hand in Israel's development and relevance

Granted d fact dat d hand of God is in all of these stupendous progress, Its my belief dat d Isrealites planned nd worked assiduously for it. In contrast Nigeria as a Nation and most Nigerians have preference for Miracles eg pass ordinary WAEC/GCE-grace of God; choose a wife-holy spirit; gain admission into university-Grace of God; oya graduate wit good hons- God's favour; Ok, u av graduated nd u ar good, get a good job-divine intervention; As a babe, u need a husband, ur xter is not important! Go for deliverance, pray and fast nd God will leave all His important biz nd provide u wit a quintessential husband! Ha Fine ooo, after 20 t0 30 abortions as a result of which ur womb has being damaged beyond redemption, u need children nd say wat?, its d work of witches and wizards afterall d bible says....there shall be no barren in my land.... so enough prayer nd fasting. To get promotion at work place nko? Deliver ur first fruits (which is ur whole first salary), to a MAN OF GOD nd pay ur tithes faithfully and divine favour nd promotion is urs!: hw can my business grow? - go nd sow seed! Hey our leaders av failed us-leave dem alone, for 'it is God who makes leaders so our votes don't even count! Then what are election nd democracy all about? Wao

For those of you simpletons ranting that God blessed israel, you're on a long thing if you believe that outdated story.. Israel got to where it was today through hardwork and dedication to the progress and development of their county. They never waited for one imaginary god to do their job.... So You better get ur asz up and work to progress of your nation..
