RESTORATION TODAY SATURDAY 1ST OCTOBER 2016 BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: NIGERIA, ARISE AND SHINE.
"Arise, Shine for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you." Isaiah 60:1.
When the ark of covenant was taken away from Israel, the glory of God departed from them. The resultant effect was frustration, woe backwardness, loss of divine favour, calamities and defeat before their enemies. (1 Samuel 4:16-22).
This is the situation with Nigeria hitherto. Several leaders have come and gone. The country's resources have been wasted without effect. Democracy has not yielded any enduring dividend. There are tensions, fear, pain, hunger and restlessness all over the land and even her unity is threatened and the future gloomy.
Thus says the Lord, it is high time the glory of Nigeria arose. Our dear country will arise and shine once more. The evil people shall be wiped away and time of refreshing shall come. The glory of the Lord shall be returned and all eyes shall see. Darkness shall vanish and light will take over. The time of restoration is now. The zeal of the Lord of host will do this.
All we have to do for the fulfilment of this vision for Nigeria is to arise, come to the fear of God and shun all evil appearances. Let the people of God call on Him and they will be saved. Let new altar be set up by everyone for a Holy and acceptable offering.
Let those who know their Lord trust in Him and renew their strength in Him. For the Holy one of Israel shall pass through the nation and purge her. Let everyone who has ears hear this. And the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former. You have a role to play in setting up a new Nigeria.
