Egyptians' struggle: history must not repeat itself!

Sad to say, my predictions concerning Egyptians’ crisis is quickly coming to pass? Protest eventually resulted into violence in Egypt. The weapon of confusion has been introduced. Pro-government camp now arose to divide the voice of unity? The fate of breaking of new dawn is now in a dangling balance? The spirits of some Egyptians in this struggle is now fainting? Will this historic momentum be allowed dead? Will the aggregates of energy in Egypt gradually dwindle? What will become of this matter?

President Barack Obama’s reputation is on the line for being referred to as an ally of Mubarak? How so true that our relationship can redefine our reputations so quickly? If Mr. President doesn’t come out defiantly against this impression, it will affect the history of African-American people of the State. Now a chain reaction is coming? What if another brother is gunning for presidency? Both precedents and antecedents will then count, either for or against?

As usual in most African protests, the Police force has masqueraded into pro-government camp? Yes! The Soldiers are still indifferent; but for how long will that be? They may side with this corrupt government of the day within hours? Gradually, a dismissal of historic gathering will occur? Will all these amount into nothing? Let it be written in history that the whole world is watching! We saw it all! We are reading, Tweeting, blogging…we all heard about it!  We saw the stance of each world leader? We saw the position of each country president in this matter. When the centre could no longer hold? When things fell apart? We knew those who influenced change! We can differentiate the enemies of peace in Africa! There shall be no mistaken the nomination of Noble Laureate for Peace!

We know this will go down in history as monuments. Posterity will never forget. Whatever happens after this? The Western world cannot be totally dissociated from the consequence. The case of Samuel Kanyon Doe the 21st President of Liberia still echoes in history. He was forcefully removed and assassinated in 1990. Foreign observers, international governmental bodies made it happen. According to Wikipedia 2011, “Doe attempted to legitimize his regime with a new constitution in 1984 and elections in 1985. As in the present case of Egypt, “…opposition to Doe’s rule increased…after the 1985 fraudulent election process a civil war began in December 1989. The rebels entered Liberia in bid to overthrow Doe. Doe's forces were defeated. In September 1990 Doe was captured, tortured, and killed.”

Enforcing the impeachment of Mubarak should come now! It must happen now! Greater pressure must come from all corners! International governmental bodies must arise. Should the Egyptian protest result in a civil war? Innocent lives will go down the six feet with Hosni Mubarak? Let the whole world speak!

What is this weird secret about the potency of a mere name?

Let me quickly shoot a question at you. What is the biggest problem in your life right now? Okay. You don’t have to tell me. I know you are so secretive anyway (Laughs). I want you to know that there is a solution to that problem. And that answer is in the power behind a name that is not a mere name. You know that when i call your name, you will look in my direction. Am i right? Great! if you a mere man will look in the direction of your caller. There is a name that once you call on that name, that biggest problem you have can be erased as if it has never been in existence all along. That means that a smile will show up on your face. Imagine this for a second...if the name of Barack Obama will open any door on this side of the universe because he is the President of United States. That name of Jesus is even greater than the name of Obama. The President of United states of America himself really need to be protected under this name of Jesus irrespective of all the FBIs, CIAs around him. If the covering of this name of Jesus is gone from any life. That life is gone into oblivion. It becomes a mere waste. 

The name of Jesus is special because this Jesus himself is not a Man but God transformed into flesh. The account of John Chapter 1 said that: ...and the word became flesh and have His dwelling amongst us." So, He is not a man that He should lie or repent of His words. His promises are yes and Amen! Meaning that they are true, certain, unchangeable and immutable. There is much power in that name called Jesus. You see, even the Psalmist once encountered this power in the name of Jesus and he said that: “I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies” (Psalm 18:3-4). So, whenever we are so overwhelmed, there is a name that can set us free! There is still hope in His name.

So you are saying that i know all that? You better be mindful when calling the name of JESUS. There’s power in that name. He's not "Nurudeeni", "Taibatu", "Tawakalitu", “Ogidan”, “Ojibwe”, “Odunuga” or “Animashaun”. He is the God of all flesh and there is nothing too hard for Him to do!  For instance, that name can raise the dead and heal HIV/Aids, Cancer or any kind of disease at all. For, there is only one name that has been given to us all under this Heaven and it is at the mention of that name: Jesus Christ, that every kneel must bow down and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord.

So what is the big deal behind that name? You may ask. Jesus Christ shed his innocent blood on the cross of Calvary at Golgotha over two thousand years ago just to save the whole world. He was the only one who could die for us when we lost it. He had to die because we broke our covenant with God. We lost all hope of eternal and abundant life. This is the kind of life that transcend this planet earth. So at that point mankind was heading for destruction. The peril was sealed because our first representative as Homo sapient messed up at the world conference that occurred in the beginning of all things. So it was so sad that we all were heading for doom. But because of God's love for us all. God organized a way of escape for us and came through in form of a Saviour. He did that because He really loved His creation and He did not want to let go of us, just like that. So, He had to come through, just for our redemption. This redemption happened through the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  That was how the name of Jesus became a greater name than every other names. So, the key point is this: You cannot access the potency of that name of Jesus without acknowledging this Jesus as the Lord of your life.  You are now asking me what that mean? To be the Lord means that you are no longer going to live your life for yourself. Rather, you will begin to live for Him. How do i live for Him? You may ask. You will need to seek His Kingdom and His righteousness. This will be easy through the reading of His word called the Holy Bible. In that age old book, the divine plan has been revealed for mankind. As you begin to read through that Bible, you will begin to understand why you were born? What you were created for? And what you were meant to be doing right now? This is what we call Purpose.

You cannot acknowledge Jesus as the Lord of your life without surrendering to Him. It is in your total submission to Him that you will have true fulfillment. If you don’t recognize that you were born in sin and that you have the need for forgiveness and restoration to God, you will keep going in cycle of an unfulfilled life. It is through Jesus that fulfillment is achieved and restoration is made complete. 

Do you still remember that on the day Jesus was crucified, he replaced a sinner called Barabbas. The crowd were asking for the freedom of Barabbas, rather than for the freedom of Jesus. The divine intent of God that day was to give a second chance. Not only to Barabbas but for every one of us who acknowledge that we are sinners and we need a second chance to be restored. The key then is a heart of repentance. Without a broken spirit, there is no peace. If we are willing to stretch to God for mercy, He is willing to take us back unto Him. This exchanged criminal could not have saved himself or the whole world; if he had died in place of Jesus that day. Yet, a lot of us are trying hard to play the Macho! We are pretending that we don't need forgiveness. We are acting that our actions were justified and justifiable.  But you know there is a sickening feeling on the inside which nobody sees but us. So why not call on that name: Jesus Christ. Call him today and now. Allow Him to help you overcome your pride of self-sufficiency. This is an evil of self-destruct. Thank you for doing that already.
