The Crises of Blood on the Destiny of a Land: Nigeria
Genesis 4:11-12
11 And NOW art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
12 When THOU tillest the ground, it shall not HENCEFORTH yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
Innocent blood may be concealed, but it does not leave the land of the killer without consequences. Abel’s blood was concealed, but that did not spare the killer and his land. Nigeria is daily drowned in bloods: from accidents caused by carelessness, ritual murders, politically and otherwise motivated assassinations, jihads, abortions, etc. According to God the Creator, blood both pollutes and “defileth the land” (Numbers 35:33). What is polluted does not yield maximum benefits. Polluted water might seem to quench the thirst, but it can kill. A defiled church might be full of members, yet far from God. What the enemy cannot prevent, he tries to pollute. Our land is destined for greatness but is threatened with seeds pollution by the enemy.
PRAYER POINTS
1). Psalm 51:2, 14 - REPENTANCE
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. … Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God..,”
May we acknowledge guilt, where there is, and ask cleansing from bloodguiltiness, for self and the community. Guilty as Cain was, he besought the Lord. May we not be too intelligent to repent.
2). Genesis 4:15 – THE MARK OF PRESERVATION
...And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.”
May we request God’s mark of preservation from the beastly avengers of blood that sprawl the lands, preying on the blood of school children, disadvantaged youths, etc.
3). Genesis 4:11-22 – DISCERNMENT
And NOW art thou cursed from the earth … it shall not HENCEFORTH yield unto thee her strength …”
You cannot fight what you do not know; you cannot treat a disease you are unable to diagnose. May we request divine insights into the calendars of dryness resulting from blood, so we can properly address them.
4). Hebrews 12:24 – BLOOD FOR BLOOD
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
It takes blood to cleanse blood (Numbers 35:33). May we appeal to the higher Blood and the High Priest Jesus to intervene in our cases. Let blood speak over blood.
