Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has admonished Nigerians to always stand by the truth in their daily lives in order to honour God and secure His intervention.

Osinbajo gave the charge in a sermon he delivered on Sunday to the congregation at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Jesus House, Silverbird Entertainment Centre, Central Area, Abuja.

In the sermon, titled “The Image of Gold’’, the acting president said that a decision to stand by the truth always entail a level of discomfort or even outright persecution, but that God will always show up to justify the righteous.

Taking his text from the Book of Daniel Chapter 3 verses 1 to 29, Osinbajp, a pastor of the RCCG, recalled the story of Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego who refused to bow to the golden image of the idol as ordered by Nebuchadnezzar, the then King of the global empire of Babylon.
He said the three Jewish young men, who were then being held in captivity in Babylon, refused to bow to that golden image as a result of which they were hauled into the pit of fire.
Osinbajo said that the captives survived the fiery fire because the Living God was with them in the fire, adding that God honoured His word in their situation as He promised in the Book of Isaiah 43: 2.
“When God showed up in the fire through His Son, it was the first direct appearance of God in the Old Testament. If they had chosen to bow to the golden image and thereafter seek to make amends through prayer and fasting, it would not have helped them.
“It is when you are passing through fire that you make a choice for God to honour Him. God said He will show up then,’’ the acting president said.
Osinbajo said that in every circumstance of life, people, especially Christians, must stand up to what is right and just.
“God is asking us to stand and stand up for something, be it against corruption, dishonesty, stealing or fraud in our offices etc. If we do not, we are bowing to that image of gold. We should stand for what we believe in as the three Jews did.
“Every time we look at the scripture, God is saying: `Stand for something. You cannot afford to stand for nothing. Stand for Christ. The choice that faced the three Jews is still before us today. We face it everyday and we must stand for Christ, especially Christians.

“Are you going to bow to the image of gold or take a chance with God and expect Him to show up? If you stand for Him, He will surely show up. God wants us to trust Him and to believe Him.
“Are you going to bow to the image of gold or trust God to show up when you are thrown to the fiery fire? There are certain things that honouring God can do which fasting and praying cannot do.
“Praying and fasting is good but it is better to Honour God in all that we do to provoke His intervention in our situations.
“The image of Nebuchadnezzar is alive and well today – it exists. That image of gold stand before us everyday and everywhere. We must choose God.

Case close.

But you have Lie Muhammad as spokesman

These politicians are just taking Nigerians for granted!

How many of you politicians are standing by the truth? How many? Were you yourself truthful when you were campaigning

Even now, are you yourself truthful

Oga VP, no be by mouth only, lead by example please!

We should stand by the truth while your co-travellers are standing by the lie, Saraki, Lai Mohammed, and many others are not laying any truthful foundation .. Daddy did you read what's going on in NPA.. Nigerians youth future has been mortgage and scammed..

Polithiefcians never mean what they say and never say what they mean and now Mr. Acting President, you are a politician. Since you are one, that means you just lied

nothing but the truth

Ododo ni'n gbe orile-ede leke



It's the truth that uplifts a nation


the day we lost our ability to tell the truth

that day we loose our humanity

yes

You know jamb is over when you start seeing comments as crappy as the ones above on NL again. Nothing to contribute but a bunchload of cry babies' deflection and whataboutism.

How is the admonition by the acting president bad?
You can interprete his message in several ways: Stand by the truth, stand by your ideas, be firm in your convictions of the truth, pursue your dreams and goals without fear of failure....etc

Nairaland was a bit sane a couple of days ago during jamb
