VIDAN

My fellow brethren, While I am here in Israel, praying and crying before God, asking Him to have mercy upon our beloved nation Nigeria, I am also aware that some people are waiting for me to return, with hatred in their hearts and plans to take my life. But I will not live in fear, because my life is not in the hands of man. My life is in the hands of God. The Bible says in Psalm 27:1, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?” If God has called me to stand, I will stand. If God has called me to pray, I will pray. I will continue to cry for Nigeria, for Christians, for Muslims, for the persecuted, for the widows and orphans, and for every innocent soul suffering in our nation. To those who wish me harm, I hold no hatred against you. I pray for you. Just as our Lord Jesus Christ prayed while He was being crucified: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” — Luke 23:34 May God forgive those who are planning evil against me. May He touch their hearts before hatred leads them into something they will regret forever. I refuse to answer hatred with hatred. I refuse to answer death with death. I choose prayer. I choose forgiveness. I choose Christ. Psalm 118:6 says, “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” My fellow brethren, pray for me, but do not be afraid for me. My life belongs to God. Whether I am in Nigeria, Israel, or anywhere else in this world, I am covered by His mercy. I will keep praying. I will keep speaking. I will keep standing for the suffering. May God have mercy on Nigeria. May God heal our land. And may He forgive us all, because sometimes we truly do not know what we are doing. Amen.
