The Raging Of The Wicked Against Innocent Nigerians
Psalms 2:1 ❝Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.❞
Acts 4:15 ❝But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. 17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. 18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. 21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done. 22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed. 23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. 24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: 25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? 26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. 27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, 28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. 29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.❞
An adage in my Bini dialect says ❛Na gbon rienrien ziro dan.❜ Meaning: The person who is enjoying life have no time to think of any evil.
Interestingly, the bible also speak about a merry heart.
Proverbs 15:13 ❝A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.❞ Proverbs 15:15 ❝All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.❞ Proverbs 17:22 ❝A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.❞
This is why the Southern people of Nigeria are known for enjoyment, especially those of us from South - South region, particularly we from Benin City, Edo State. We value life so much that even the militants in the creeks don't performed terrorism nor involved themselves in suicide bombing of Nigerians. All they do is kidnapping and once their demanded ransom is paid, they let go of their captives. The worst they can do is to bomb oil installations and pipelines, when their demands are being played with.
On the contrary, the Boko Haram terrorists people operating terrorism against the innocent Nigerians in the Northern part of Nigeria,� can be best described as ❛animals❜ because they know not the value of the human lives they are wasting in their terrorists activities against the Nigerian state and her people.
Since their hearts now reason like animals, they are now seeing other people as animals too, hence their continuous shedding of the blood of innocent Nigerians, and destroying worship places, markets, banks, eateries, viewing centers, Police stations, homes, government establishment, etc, all for just no cause. Psalms 94:21 ❝They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.❞
Foolishly and stupidly, the Boko Haram terrorists people also blows themselves up in suicide bombing. With their deceived mindset, they think that when they succeeded in killing people through suicide bombing, that 72 virgins are waiting for them in their satanic paradise, as a reward for their wicked acts. What a deceit! Exodus 23:7 ❝Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.❞ Ezekiel 16:23 ❝And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the LORD GOD;)❞ Psalm 68:2 ❝As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.❞ Psalm 94:23 ❝And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.❞ Job 8:22 ❝They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.❞ Psalm 28:4 ❝Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.❞ Psalm 55:15 ❝Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.❞ Nahum 3:19 ❝There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?❞ Psalm 139:19 ❝Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.❞ Psalm 145:20 ❝The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.❞ Malachi 4:1 ❝For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.❞
Boko Haram terrorists people, there's no paradise for you. In fact, the fire awaiting you people in hell fire is unquenchable, and only Jesus Christ can save you from going there. Mark 9:44 ❝Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.❞ John 14:6 ❝Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.❞ Acts 16:30 ❝And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.❞
Make no mistake: The Boko Haram insurgents are not ❛Muslims❜ but pure terrorists, who takes pride in the killings of other people even though the Almighty God warned against killing. Exodus 20:13 ❝Thou shalt not kill.❞
The popular belief in Nigeria that Boko Haram means ❛Western Education is forbidden❜, is a well calculated theory to deceived the unintelligent mind. If that is the case, then the Boko Haram terrorists people are fools for using Western knowledge initiated devices and equipment to prosecute their demonic assignment of terrorism. The guns, bombs, vehicles, telephones, laptops, walkie talkie, ammunitions, photo cameras, video cameras, device chargers, Sim cards, memory cards, and every other technological development which usually aids their terrorists operations, are all products of Western education and technological advancement. So, who is deceiving who?
Anyway Boko Haram people, your wicked activities against the Nigerian people have been foretold by Our LORD Jesus Christ. John 16:2 ❝They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.❞
So, keep on doing your wickedness against Nigerians but you must however remember that, as the people you are killing are dying, so you terrorists Boko Haram people shall die one day. Okay. Acts 8:22 ❝Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.❞ Ezekiel 33:11 ❝Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?❞
Therefore, consider your evil practices today against the innocent Nigerians, and also consider the terror and agony awaiting you people in hell fire. But, I have introduced Jesus Christ to you people, because HE is the only name that can save. Acts 4:10 ❝Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.❞
Prayer Points:

⒔ Pray that the Boko Haram terrorists people and their supporters shall fall into every ambushment they laid against the Nigerian people, as God did to Jeroboam, in Jesus name. 2 Chronicles 13:12 ❝And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. 13 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them. 14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. 15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand. 17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. 18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers. 19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof. 20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.❞
