Yeah,Lagos is the fastest growing Megacity in the world, with adorable and Magnificient buildings, with commercial activities and developing infrastructure,but that doesn't reference to the decaying and abominable Spiritual state of Lagos !!!
Ezekiel 22 describes Lagos as
1)verse 1 and 2 .It is a bloody and Abominable city.Crime,ritualism,cannibalism,assasinations,abortions,bloody covenants paint this state in bad spiritual light.violence from thuggery and politics have given it a bad spiritual record from time immemorial
2)verses 3-Idolatry-Eyo festival was one of the worst demonic practices people paint in the name of culture and tourism!!!! The way God looks@ things is different from the way man looks.This is an idol festival and we r told in 1st corinthians 10:20 #the things the gentiles offer ,they offer to demons and not to God.Also Gentiles are known for strangling animals and things with blood.
Festac 77 was the most worst abominable Festival and God judged Lagos and Nigeria.So there is so much spiritual defilement and desolation in Lagos state.verses 4 explains Blood guiltiness and the state is spiritually a reproach.
5)verses 5 describes the derision and criticism of the international community and domestic against lagos state. Verses 6 describes the the Politicians attitude.Almost every governor has abused his office by bloodshed.Employing political thugs,touts and all sort of elements to perpetuate trouble in Lagos and among the political class elsewhere.There is so much political violence
7)Declining Moral values among the youths,verses 7, no respect for the elderly and parents as many young people are full of pride, are cursed and soo disrespectful.The government oppresses outsiders, the less priviledge with Taxation,extortion and various laws that makes people to suffer.
Fatherless, widow have all been mistreated.
Descecration of God's holy day- sunday has been totally politicised, monopolised and reprogrammed by men to suit their needs.Sunday is a religious commercial day where 3 services are put in place with thesole aim of money making.No one respects the sabaath day again to keep it holy.
9)Rumours, falsehood, lying allegations against he innocent among the political,societal and religious class have sent many to their untimely deaths as manyfalse ministers embrace satanic powers in various places eg mountains to commit all sorts of attrocities.
10)Sexual immorality is on the high-The families of the rich, religious,friends, all aquintances are not lfet out. Everyday we see scandals on social media.Father sleeps with daughter,mother with son,brother with sister, thats verses 10-11. Fornication and adultery knows no bounds in Lagos state.Even those set apart for mesntration are commiting sexual immorality.
12)Bribery and corruption are very famous.profit making by businesses are not genuie but by extortion. Cheating is high in lagos.competition ends in bloodshed at times. Verses 12.
Verses 13-God is even surprised that he said he would beat his hands at dishonest profits and bloody gains made in this state!!!
Businesses established with bloodshed..In verses 14,God is saying *how long will such acts continue? Surely,God wil deal with Lagos and Lagosians.
13)verses 15:there is so much spiritual desolation in Lagos to an extent that real men of God have left the state,real christians have left the state.Judgment is pronounced on lagos citizens here.Many have been scattered and removed out from the state.The lord is purging and would purge the state-verses 16.All secret sins would be exposed.Every other statemen have somthing to say about characthers of attitudes of lagosians.The evils in churches have all been heard all over the country.
14)verses 17 and 18-churches have become unprofitable spiritually and lost their values to become dross to the lord.chruch is meant to be gold,but u see in verses 18, the quality has reduced to bronze,tin and iron and lead and i tell u all we see is quantity than quality.verses 19, there would be a gathering for revival to purge,refurnance and expunge all sins,evils from the churches.God's Judgment would blow and there would be seperation.God would destroy all the things false prophets and men have built and then set up his own standard the old ways and paths that would bring forth Righteosness.
