For all its worth..Pray!

Hello blog.. I abandoned you. sorry. I guess its time for your resurrection :D

About a year ago when the Chibok grils were kidnapped, I never believed it.  Up until recently i still felt the girls kidnap was all a farce. Maybe occasionally when prayers were raised for them in public gatherings, I would join in, but then that was about it for the Chibok girls for me. I just didn't feel committed to the whole #BBOG cause. And I particularly had my own reservations towards the leader of that campaign on twitter, but then that's about it.

A couple of weeks back, a kidnap  was reported in my state. I was apprehensive, such had not been reported in the state before. It was even more shock for  me when I discovered it was a very close family friend and church member that was kidnapped. Then it hit me so much. I started making calls to ask how it happened and before i knew it, the news was all over social media and the TV. I was worried sick, bothered and really sad. I felt so burdened so much and I personally took it upon myself to pray specially about this issue, and I still am.

But then, do things have to happen to people really close to us before we feel bothered and prompted to act up? I mean its been over a year since the chibok girls have been kidnapped! I feel quite bad that i was never really bothered initially, but now I am really. May the Father have mercy on me..

Lesson: Always show concern for people in distress, no matter how distantly connected to them you are.

Now to the main issue, Why would a group of people kidnap fellow humans and be demanding a ransom of 70 million?  Ordinary people just going about their normal lives? Surely the heart of man is desperately wicked. This is the same state where a lot of people have not collected salaries for about 3 months now. So what exactly do this evil abductors want?

I wont stop Praying tho. That righteousness will be established in our land, above every form of wickedness, and most importantly that Gods judgement will come on all these evil kidnappers, boko haram and other people that are causing unrest in our Land.

The number has increased. Over 6 people kidnapped in the same state in 2 weeks, 3 of which are lecturers of the state University. Quite sad.

May the Father cause these ones to be divinely rescued quickly!
Amen.
