Celebrating Canada on her 153rd birthday
Before proceeding, I want to seize this opportunity to thank God for Canada as she celebrates her 153rd birthday on July 1, 2020. On March 29, 1867, the British North America Act (BNA Act) was passed by British Parliament, creating the Dominion of Canada. In just 153 years, Canada has made its mark in the history books as a country that has struggled to emerge from its British-colonial roots, yet has made huge strides to become a beacon of human rights. Though fixing a date for the birth of a nation unlike the birth of a baby may be debatable there is no doubt that by God's Divine Intervention and the foresight of our forefathers we have a nation that is strong, diverse and full of life. My counsel is in line with Paul 's admonition 'By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care' 1 Cor 3:10. Our forefathers have laid a foundation, let all of us in our diversity of religion, colour, race sex, nationality with a sense of unity and peace continue to build a great country called Canada. Happy anniversary and birthday to Canada. Happy Canada Day!
What is divine intervention?
Simply put divine intervention is, God intervening in the affairs of the world. Divine intervention can be God causing something to happen or God preventing something from happening. God' divine intervention dates back to Genesis Chapter Three, when the serpent beguiled Eve and Adam and she took the forbidden fruit, that made them to go and 'hide' from God. God divinely intervened, he promised 'the seed of the woman shall bruise the head of the serpent even though there was a level of punishment to the entire stakeholders. Let me offer a quick prayer in that regards for you," God will intervene and deal with all the hypocrites, destiny destroyers, career jeopardizers, marriage killers, children destroyers around you today in Jesus name".
What is the purpose of divine intervention?
Biblically speaking, God definitely intervenes in the affairs of the world from Genesis through Revelation. God is sovereign (Psalm 93:1; 95:3; Jeremiah 23:20; Romans 9). Nothing happens that God does not ordain, cause, or allow. We are constantly surrounded by divine intervention, even when we are ignorant or blind to it. We will never know all of the times and all of the ways God intervenes in our lives. Divine intervention can come in the form of a miracle, such as a healing or a supernatural sign. Divine intervention can also come in the form of a seemingly random event which directs us in the way God wants us to go. God intervenes in the minutest matters of man to the biggest matters. From matters that are political to matrimonial, from matters of small towns to big cities, matters of health of individual to that of nations, matters of church doctrine to eschatology. There three purposes of God's divine intervention. Firstly, to give us as believers' relief, peace, victory, power, progress, a future and a hope. Secondly, to package shame, defeat, and disgrace to Satan and its cohorts. Thirdly and most importantly it is to package glory and honour to God Almighty.
How God Intervenes
For God to intervene in your matter there are three things you need to know. God can tell you to do nothing about the predicament, because you cannot do anything about it within your capacity, like the parting of the Red Sea, he just told them to be 'still'. The second one is he might tell you to do something. Like telling Naaman to wash in river Jordan if he genuinely wants to recover from leprosy. The third thing is that in all situations you will need to powerfully bring it to God's attention. Cry, pray, make a demand to heaven to intervene!
Examples of Divine Intervention On Cities/Nation's And Individuals.
1. The End of Slavery of Egyptians In Israel: Several times God intervened in the matters concerning the nation of Israel. He used the ten plagues on Egyptians including the death of all firstborn of humans and beast just to get the Israelites out of bondage. I don't know the bondages you have been in as a community but expect God to intervene if you can cry to him. Ex 2:23-25. The current kidnapping and all kind of the bond woman agenda in Nigeria, Islamization or 'Fulanization' will suffer defeat ,when the people of God cry out for divine intervention.
