ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER. [ A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. ] { VOL. 3. NO 74. 11-01-15.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). NOW IS THE APPOINTED TIME FOR THE 2015 ELECTIONS! “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under Heaven; a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.”[Ecclesiastes. 3:1-8]. *Some eminent and acclaimed servants of God have suggested that the February 2015 dates, slated for Nigeria’s general elections be postponed for at least SIX MONTHS, to adequately address and defeat insurgency for fear of an escalation of terrorism because they seemed to have forgotten that the battle against Boko Haram is the LORD’s battle! Thus saith the LORD: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee with the right hand of my righteousness. “Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be shamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing: and they that strive with thee shall perish. “Thou shall seek them, and shall not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. “For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not: I will help thee.”[Isaiah.41:10-13]. *LET US BELIEVE THE TESTIMONY OF GOD RATHER THAN THAT OF MAN! *It is very imperative for children of God to appreciate DIVINE PROVIDENCE which can be interpreted to mean God’s constant touch in the affairs of men. *God’s foresight, care and attention, forethought and superintendence to ensure an expected and perfect future end for all creation, especially the regenerated and converted beings, are the major spiritual ingredients of divine providence! *The continued preservation of Nigeria as a nation since the period of amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates from 1914 to 2015 proves that God’s providence is working out all things according to the counsel of His purposive will. *This year of elections calls for collective walk of the Saints by faith and not by sight because the insurgency caused by the thoughtlessness of Boko Haram, and which had claimed up to one million innocent souls since 2009, is neither hidden nor shrouded before our creator. No! *He says that he will save this nation and contend with those who contend against us and feed them that oppress us with their own flesh and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: “…….and all flesh shall know that I the LORD ‘am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”[Isa.49:26]. *The import of this divine intervention is an indication that the battle against the perennial insecurity, especially at this turning point in our political landscape, is beyond human capability or comprehension. It is not by might nor by power but by my Spirit, says the LORD OF HOSTS![Zechariah.4:6; compare 2Chronicles.20:1-24]. *The expectation of the detractors is to witness a break-down of law and order or an outright outburst of large-scale civil disobedience that could lead to a conflagration of full-scale war but we have God’s assurance that He is in absolute and perfect control of Nigeria! *According to divine revelation, the detractors of this nation are none other than the selfish and egoist politicians within the various political parties and their accomplices who are trusting in the “advantageous” position of incumbency to retain political power at all cost! *They have perfected their strategies which they believe are infallible but forgetting that the providence of the infinite God, is the care, preservation and the government He exercises over all creation in order that they may accomplish the ends for which they were created through His eternal power which is constantly at work and which precludes all manner of human fortune, luck and chance! *In the Old Testament Book of Numbers, Chapters 22-24, are documented detailed conspiracy between an enthroned King named BALAK, his council of elders and a prophet of God, BALAAM, to abort the divine providential plan for Israel, the chosen and anointed children of God from getting to the promised land! The King described them as, a company that had licked up all that were round-about his empire, “as the ox licketh up the grass of the field”![Num. 22:1-4]. *However, Balaam who was pressurized by the King with carnal gifts was warned by God not to take up the contract because the people in question were blessed and very precious to Him, but the man of God, overwhelmed by the spirit of covetousness and the desire to get rich and become very famous, danced to the King’s orders instead of God’s! *It is very pertinent to remind every living soul in these last days of divine grace that whether Man likes it or not, THE WILL OF GOD WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN BECAUSE HE IS PRE-EMINENT AND SOVEREIGN OVER ALL CREATION! *In spite of the fact that he was spurred by greed to carry out the King’s orders, God arrested his entire intellectual capacity of soul and spirit and he took up the following parable saying: “Balak the King of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come defy Israel. “How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied? “God is not a man that He should LIE, neither the son of man that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? Or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good? “Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and He hath blessed: and I cannot reverse it. “He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath He seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. “Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!” [Num. 23:7,8, 19,20,21,23]. *Political campaigns in Nigeria are usually characterised with warfare, violence, brigandage, mud-slinging thuggery, murders, assassinations, arsons, the power of incumbency to perpetrate all of the above and the 2015 edition is already exhibiting such traits! *What the electorate need to hear from these candidates are campaigns based on their manifestoes, ideologies and agendas for the citizens, not that of calumny and debasement! *There are two major gladiators on the political turf, the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), but fillers from the campaign fields are indicating that the “dog wants to go back to its vomit”! There have been reported attacks on campaign trains and scores of wounded people are on admission in various hospitals in the South-South and South-West geo-political zones of the nation! Nigerians should not quickly forget that God has promised to RAISE FROM AMONG US, THE CREDIBLE MEN AND WOMEN WHO WOULD RUN A RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT IN THIS NATION FROM 2015 AND BEYOND! *They have emerged according to the purposive plan of God; the detractors have recognised them and are bent on dislodging them at all cost but what happened in 2007 and 2011, before during and after the elections would not be divinely permitted! *King Balak hired Balaam, a renowned man of God to carry out his dirty job of contending with the purposive will for His good people and he failed because no one contends with God and lives to recount the story! Balaam eventually perished in his sin and was slain in a war![Num.31 8b]. *Many unscrupulous servants of God have been contracted by modern BALAKS, in Nigeria to “fast and pray” to change the handwriting on the wall in their favour forgetting that the ultimate providence rests squarely in the Hands of the sovereign God who is very meticulous when it comes to the supervision and government over all of His creation in the universe! *Did you know that the infinite care that God takes of His creation from the numbering of each hair of each head and falling of each sparrow and the unfailing upholding of all the vast planets and satellites by His own power is nothing short of an awesome act of providence?[Matthew.10:29-31; Luke. 12: 6-7]. Hear the word of the Preacher: “Though a sinner do evil an hundred times and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before Him. “But it shall not be well with the wicked neither shall he prolong his days, which are as shadow; because he feareth not before God.” [Ecclesiastes. 8:12-13]. *Mr. President has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC], to ensure that all registered and eligible voters collect their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) before the general elections without fail and we believe that the electorate, armed with this mandate should be ready to perform their civic duties by also ensuring that only citizens with proven integrity and character are voted to run the affairs of the next government. Voters must shun every form of intimidation by unscrupulous politicians, avoid them like plague and vote according to their conscience. *Nigeria will definitely become the great nation that we have always envisaged, united and strengthened by God to prove both local and international detractors wrong that it is only corruption that thrives amongst us! *Our nation shall be safe from divination, enchantment and any form of the occult and men shall marvel at what God has wrought for us! *Nigerians will rise up as a great lion, lifting himself up like a young lion and will not rest until all our detractors are destroyed in their wickedness!(Num. 23:24). *Nigeria will prosper abundantly when the right candidates are voted to run the affairs of government on February 14 and 28, 2015, and the nation will transform into the most fertile regions of the world, “flowing with milk and honey” and the life of POVERTY be completely erased from the land for ever and ever! “RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS A NATION, BUT SIN IS A REPROACH TO ANY PEOPLE”[Proverbs.14:34]. If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, don’t miss this great opportunity as you pray this prayer: Lord Jesus; I confess that I am a sinner who needs to be saved through the grace of the New Testament of your Blood, shed on the Cross at Calvary; I renounce every sin in my life and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive me and write my name in the Book of Life. Amen. If you prayed this prayer, you have been admitted into the family of sons and daughters of God, who are born-again. Congratulations.

73 ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER. [ A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. ] { VOL. 3. NO 73. 04-01-15.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). 2015 – New Year Edition. AMERICA HAS NO ‘LOCUS STANDI’ TO PREDICT THE DOWNFALL OF NIGERIA! Some Americans, possibly disciples of Nostradamus, gathered at different discussion forums in 2006 and from their various cells in the United States, predicted that Nigeria, the country with the highest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) indices and most populous nation in black Africa, would BREAK-UP IN 2015! *Talk is cheap! And when it comes to international diplomacy of intrigue, competition and rivalry over who is most competent and knows it all, these types of unguarded, loose and highly condemnable utterance could emanate from any continent of peoples! *Nostradamus, a French doctor, emerged in the 16 Century as the most ambitious single prophet of modern times and issued books in which he foretold an array of impending disasters – stretching from the immediate future to the year 2000, from wars to the murder of kings and of great fires and huge naval battles! *His predictions were all based on assumptions about a phenomenon called historical disruptions, but he totally derailed and crashed when he predicted that the arrival of the anti-Christ would occur in1999 along with new plagues and famines! *According to the Bible, the anti-Christ would appear during the Great Tribulation, when all true believers in Christ would have been taken to Heaven in the spiritual event described as the RAPTURE i.e. the physical lifting up into the atmosphere to meet the Lord Jesus Christ, who would be visible in the sky to receive and usher them to God the Father! [I Thessalonians.4:13-18; compare with Matthew.24:15-22; Mark. 13: 14-19; Jeremiah.30:7; Daniel.9:27; 12:1]. *GOD IS THE OWNER OF TIMES AND EVENTS IN ALL OF HIS EARTH, THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF THE FATE OF ALL OF HIS CREATION AND THE ONLY SOVEREIGN ONE WHO CAN DISRUPT ANY HUMAN ACTIVITY AS HE SO DESIRES OR PLEASES! *The bold inscription on the United States of America coins and dollar bills is, “In God we trust”, which is the national motto of the country. The phrase derives from the line, “And this be our motto, ‘In God we trust’, in the battle song that later became the US National Anthem. *We can authoritatively and unequivocally state here, for posterity to judge that, that age-long claim by the US, is nothing short of a well-calculated RUSE and SMOKE-SCREEN of an over ambitious nation, aimed to deceive the entire world into believing their religious falsehood while they clandestinely assumed global EXPLOITATION in virtually all endeavours of life from commerce to the manufacturing industry, mining, agriculture, engineering, technology, armament, warfare, space exploration, oil and gas, AND MOST ESPECIALLY THE SECURITY SECTOR, AS THE SELF-APPOINTED POLICE NATION OF THE WORLD! *America became the, ‘Lone Super Power’, in 1991, following a master-minded and orchestrated collapse of the SOVIET UNION, which upset the balance among world super powers and made US to become significantly stronger, that year! *Both nations were allies against Nazi’s Germany during World War II, but eventually became opposing “super powers” at the end of the war due to inordinate ambitions on both sides! The US formed the Western or Capitalist Bloc while the Soviet Union formed the Eastern or Communist Bloc and subjected confederate but militarily- weaker nations to their whims and caprices to strengthen their positions through a doctrine of divide-and-rule! *They sought and acquired global influence by supporting local factions, militia groups and motley armies, to perpetrate insurgency and regional or civil wars in their countries! These two “great powers”, in a period of 40 years of “COLD WAR” (1945-1985), designed to avoid World War III, carefully plotted to outwit each other in the CHESS GAME of power superiority and from all indications, the US was able to overthrow the Soviet Union, in a bloodless coup which prompted all the COMMUNIST CONFEDERATES TO OPT FOR INDEPENDENCE, one after the other and gradually, the Eastern Communist Bloc eventually crashed in 1991! *The United States of America is globally credited with this prophecy of doom that the NIGERIAN NATION, THE GIANT OF AFRICA, WILL CEASE TO BE CALLED A DEMOCRACY BY THE YEAR 2015 based on its Central Intelligence Agency [CIA’s] 2006 report which gave the damning verdict during Obasanjo’s desperate bid for a THIRD TERM position in order to the disorganize the nation’s polity in this prophetic format: “While currently, Nigeria’s leaders are locked in a bad marriage that all dislike but dare not leave, there are possibilities that could disrupt the precarious equilibrium in Abuja “The most important will be a junior officer coup that could destabilize the country to the extent that open-warfare breaks out in many places in a sustained manner. “If Nigeria were to become a failed State, it could drag down a large part of the West African region,” according to the prediction! *Although, United States spokespersons have denied the prediction as the figment of the imaginations of the peddlers, it is on record that since it master-minded the demise of the Soviet Union, this “Lone Super Power”, had made subtle military incursions into VIETNAM, KOREA, IRAQ, IRAN, AFGANISTAN, LIBYA, SOMALIA, SUDAN, CUBA AND VERY RECENTLY GAMBIA? *It is very important to know that the 2006 break-up prediction was based on the belief that the 2007 General Elections, would be a do-or-die affair as declared by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, while their prophecy now making the rounds is predicated on the belief that the five-year-old Boko Haram terrorism would escalate without US Military assistance as Nigeria conducts the 2015 elections! *It was also claimed that Sir. Hugh Clifford, Governor General of Nigeria, between 1920-23, described the country as a collection of independent native states separated from one another by great distances, by differences of history and tradition and by ethnological, racial, tribal, political, social and religious barriers. *That in 1947, late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, described Nigeria as, “a mere geographical expression” of a colonial secret document, “The Tinubu Square Edict” or Accord of 1914, similar to the British/China Accord of Hong Kong which showed that the Nigeria experiment was meant to last for an initial 100 Years, (i.e. 1914-2014) following which, it should be reviewed. *There was another prediction by two American scholars, neither Pastors nor Prophets, who conducted what could be termed a scientific research some years back and concluded that Nigeria was most likely to break up! According to Ijaw Elder Statesman, Edwin Clark, who quoted that prediction in February, 2014, however dismissed the suggestion that Nigeria would break-up in 2015 as follows: “I don’t see Nigeria breaking up in 2015; people are just saying it because those American researchers based their postulation on the jostling for power and the small arms being imported into this country. “Now certain obnoxious statements have been made that there will be war and bloodshed if Jonathan wins or does not win the 2015 Elections. “These statements, which support the assertion by the American scholars, are not enough to break Nigeria,” he concluded! *There was yet another Security Report, entitled, “Nigerian Unity in the Balance”, authored by the ARMY WAR COLLEGE, which warned Nigerian leaders to beware of another CIVIL WAR or AN OUTRIGHT BREAK-UP! The report also states: “Having already experienced a brutal civil war, Nigeria is at risk of a recurrence of conflict or dissolution, especially since, some of the under-pinning motivations of the war remain unresolved.” *IF AMERICA IS AS GODLY AS IT CLAIMED, WHY HAS IT FAILED TO ASSIST NIGERIA TO CRUSH THE FIVE-YEAR-OLD BOKO HARAM INSURGENCY, WHICH HAS DEVASTATED THE PEOPLE AND ECONOMY OF THE NATION, SINCE IT POSSESSED THE MILITARY MIGHT TO DO SO? *The reasons are not far-fetched: (1) In the past, the US explored and exploited Crude Oil from Nigeria at great profits, but today, has no need for the crude since it became the largest oil producer in the world! (2) The US Government was able to penetrate Nigeria’s political and social fabric to master-mind those in position of authority to accept a one-sided contractual importation policy that kept the nation as import-dependent, an arrangement that was always favourable to the former! (3) The Obama Administration was unable to convince Nigeria to become a HOMOSEXUALLY PROMISCUOUS nation as obtains in AMERICA, - GOD’S OWN COUNTRY, – where MEN MARRY MEN AND WOMEN MARRY WOMEN - in this age and time! (4) The US has to apply Nigeria’s shameful global scorecard of being one of the most corrupt nation, to excuse itself from any form of further political, economic or security assistance to her! *From the ongoing analysis, it is crystal clear that no US Government Agency or Researcher would dare utter or publish sensitive security statements in respect of another sovereign nation, without the requisite or tacit approval of its principal, but US has utterly dissociated itself from any linkage with the 2015 doomsday prediction but described Nigeria as a strategic partner in Africa! *Nigeria is certainly on the right direction to prove the “YANKEES” wrong because: (1) In spite of all misgivings of the detractors, election party primaries in all 36 States have been successfully concluded; (2) ELEVEN eminent and outstanding presidential candidates and their running mates have emerged; (3) Governorship aspirants in States where elections would hold in 2015 and their running mates are on ground; (4) Legislative candidates at both Federal and State levels have also been voted; (5) The Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC], assures that it was ready to conduct FREE, FAIR AND CREDIBLE ELECTIONS; (6) Mr. President has also assured the citizens that all the security agencies would be at RED ALERT to discharge faithful and righteous duties, before, during and after the elections without fear or favour; (7) He also promised to support the Armed Forces to maintain successes so far achieved over the Boko Haram insurgents and assured that the elections would hold in all the North East States, by the special grace of GOD ALMIGHTY; (8) All citizens have prayed without ceasing and made supplications before God in respect of the continuous co-existence and unity of Nigeria, to which positive answers have been divinely given! * So, America can no longer hide under the Biblical camouflage by claiming to be on the side of the LORD more than Nigeria because their spurious predictions have been divinely punctured and deflated! *THE UNITED STATES SCORECARD OF LIES AND FALSE PREDICTIONS STINK TO HIGH HEAVENS: (a) Fifty years ago, they tried very hard to overrun Communist Cuba who vehemently resisted. They imposed economic sanctions and mounted international campaign of calumny against the nation but failed all the way! They are now begging to re-establish diplomatic relations! (b) They failed in Communist Vietnam, where they wasted the lives of young American service men who had no inkling about guerrilla warfare as the Vietnams resisted modern slavery with their blood! (c) They also failed in Korea, and Somalia with all the DRONES employed in the warfare of Western power imposition! (d) They killed Sadam Husein and thousands of Iraqi soldiers, but found no weapons of mass-destruction in his territory as they alleged! (e) They killed Mua’mar Gadaffi of LIBYA and the country is still battling to maintain social order in the fragile democracy! *IN ALL OF THE ABOVE BRIGANDAGE AND ATROCITIES OF MAN’S INHUMANITY AGAINST MAN, NO NATION HAS BEEN ABLE TO CALL AMERICA WHICH HAD BITTEN MORE THAN IT CAN CHEW TO ORDER! *Now they want to destabilize and eventually destroy NIGERIA – but they have already failed woefully because our GOD who cannot be mocked has said that, “It is pay-back time….. all that the United States sowed in wickedness, they WILL reap in an avalanche of disasters that will besiege that arrogant nation! In fact calamities are already knocking on its doors…..9/11 will be a child’s play, in the fury of my wrath…..it would be better for SODOM AND GOMORRAH on the day of my judgment than for AMERICA………NOT EVERYONE THAT CALLS ME LORD, LORD, SHALL ENTER INTO MY KINGDOM,” saith the LORD OF HOSTS! *BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS, AND FORTUNE-TELLER NATIONS LIKE AMERICA, ONLY BIBLICAL PROPHECIES AND PREDICTIONS ARE TRUE! If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, don’t miss this great opportunity as you pray this prayer: Lord Jesus; I confess that I am a sinner who needs to be saved through the grace of the New Testament of your Blood, shed on the Cross at Calvary; I renounce every sin in my life and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive me and write my name in the Book of Life. Amen. If you prayed this prayer, you have been admitted into the family of sons and daughters of God, who are born-again. Congratulations.
