Wednesday April 19th 2023, I was inside a bus heading to my place of work. I decided to open my Bible to Act chapter 11. And I read the first through the twenty sixth verses. When I got to the twenty seventh verse, the Lord began to show me things to come as it concern our nation Nigeria.
Prior to this time, the Lord had been dealing with me to deliver part of this revelation but I held back my voice because I had not received the full message; and beside people might read meaning into it. However, when the Lord revealed the full message unto me, I said to myself, it is time!

This message is not to scare you, rather it is to prepare the body of Christ, and anyone who care to listen, for what is about to come upon our nation, Nigeria.

God does nothing without revealing it, first, to his prophets (Amos 3:7).
A prophet is one who speak, through the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, things to come; things to edify the church; and things to prepare the church or an individual.
In Act 21:10-14, the prophet Agabus, speaking by inspiration of the Spirit, said to Paul and company: "Thus saith the Holy Ghost, so shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles."
Agabus' prophecy was to prepare Paul ahead for what he would suffer at the hands of the Jews in Jerusalem. It was not to scare or deter Paul.

What am I getting to? Without much ado, I will go right into what the Lord shared with me concerning things to come.

Proverbs 29:2
2. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

Scripture describes two kinds of people in authority, and the consequence of each people when they bear rule. The first of the two kinds is "The righteous." The second is "The Wicked" or the unrighteous, or ungodly."
Righteousness is not a nature to be grasp or attained, it is a gift given by God to those who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
Romans 5:17
17. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
The Hebrew word "Wicked" is the same word that is translated Ungodly. Ungodliness is a nature that is devoid of the God kind of life.

Now let us consider the singular forms of the two kinds of nature.
The Righteous:
A righteous man is one who is in Christ Jesus.
2 Corinthians 5:17;21
17. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
21. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

The Wicked (ungodly)
An ungodly man is one who does not have the nature of God.
Psalm 1:1
1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, not sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

The question is: what is the scope of all the above in relation to Nigeria?

According to Isaac Newton, 'To every action, there is an equal and opposite corresponding reaction.' Physical laws and their cosequences are real. But more real are spiritual laws. There is a spiritual law called "The law of territoriality." This law has it that in every territory where there is a leader, the spiritual nature of the leader governs the atmosphere of the territory. Put somewhat differently, the belief and spirit behind the leader influences the socio-economic landscape the territory.

In the outgoing dispensation of Nigeria's political sphere, this nation has seen a non-Christian bear rule over the citizens. The outgoing dispensation is pretty much better because the Vice-President is one who is in Christ; and as such, the land is preserved from being eclipsed by total darkness. I said the land is preserved because Scripture called the righteous ones the salt of the earth. Salt has preservation capacity.

Nonetheless, in the in-coming dispensation, this nation will eclipsed in total darkness because they that bear rule has no salt in them: they are non-righteous. And our beginning text emphasized thus, ...When the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

It goes without saying that Proverbs 29:2 is either the truth or false. The text says, when the wicked, the non-righteous, the ungodly, beareth rule, the people mourn. The President elect and his Vice are non-righteous. Now this does not mean they don't have some level of goodness in them. What I mean is that both the president and his Vice are not in Christ. And it is in Christ Jesus that we are Justified and made righteous. Thus according to Scriptures being made righteous is not in ourselves or in our goodness. Our righteousness is in Christ. And since the President elect and his Vice are not in Christ, they are non-righteous.

Having said that, it's imperative that we understand the consequence of a non-righteous in power.
In first Chronicles the twelfth chapter, the thirty second verse, the children of Issachar had understanding of times, to know what Israel ought to do. But how did they understood the times? Like Daniel, they understood by books, the Scriptures.

Now let us look into the books and understand the times upon and ahead of us.

Acts 11:27-28
27. And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
28. And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

Agabus prophesied that there will be great famine, hunger, and unrest throughout the world: it came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

Friend, Nigeria is on the precipice of encroaching the days of Claudius Caesar. And history will repeat itself with uncanny variations. How do we know this? Scripture says, the LORD GOD speaks through similitudes. "I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets" (Hosea 12:10).

The Lord, by similitudes, showed me that we are encroaching the days of Claudius Caesar. He gave me parallels of the in-coming dispensation to that of Claudius Caesar. And I strongly believe that Agabus' Prophecy would re-emerge in the said dispensation.Now let us compare the following parallels:

1. Claudius Caesar was the fourth Roman emperor.
Without counting the late President Musa Yar'Adua, the new President elect will be the fourth democratically elected president of Nigeria since 1999.

2. Claudius Caesar own family ridiculed his physical ailments
Aside the late Presdient Musa Yar'Adua, the new President elect's health is the most ridiculed among his own people and the nation at large.

3. Claudius Caesar became emperor relatively late in life.
The new president elect landed in the highest political office in Nigeria relatively late in life.

4. A Cabal of Praetorian Guard installed Claudius Caesar as emperor.
In the Roman Republic, Praetorian Guard were escort of high-rank political officials and were bodyguards for the senior officials in the military.
Oddly enough, we all know the rolls of the so called "Elite" and "Area Boys" in the just concluded 2023 presidential election.

5. Claudius Caesar completed the Roman annexation of Britain.
There is already a clandestine annexation of the systems of Lagos in 7 States in Nigeria: Three States from the West, and two States each from the North East and North West.

I have said it before, but it bears repeating here. This message is not to scare you, rather to prepare you for what is about to come.
Like in the days of Claudius Caesar, in the in-coming dispensation, many, particularly in the body of Christ, will mourn. There will be grave food scarcity, the inflation rate will hit 29 percent. And many youths will be out of school; and many more unemployed. Men hearts shall fail them for fear. The socio-economic sphere shall take a turn for the worse.

But there is hope!
So I say to you, save as much as you can. Be wise in your investment: ask God before venturing. Give more in this season. And meditate more in the word of God, and pray at any slightest chance you have.

When you see all these things happening, do not be dismayed, rather look up and rejoice for your salvation is near.

Luke 21: 25-26;28
25. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26. Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
28. And when these things begins to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

As I have said before, so say I again, when these things begins to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads in joy: for the Lord has said, I will not leave you nor forsake you


Do not hoard knowledge, propagate it!


Jesus is Lord!
