Blessings to all Parishioners of @Steemchurch and dear Steemians!
I welcome you to the First Blog of Steemchurch Nigeria, @Sc-n in this New Phase of Leadership.
Steemchurch Nigeria is a parish of Steemchurch International Ministries created to coordinate the activities of parishioners of Steemchurch who have their geographical location in Nigeria. Created by @Sirknight, an all-time legendary blogger and a father with an uncommon heart of love, @Sc-n has been a beacon of hope for the distressed, orphaned and less-privileged who have enjoyed supports in the past one year and one month.
It seemed rather a difficult thing to say Yes to this call to responsibility to be the Chief Servant of @Sc-n after a call from the mother of the Crowds @Darlenys01 in her official declaration and acceptance of the call to serve God in Steemchurch
will be directed by
a young entrepreneur, teacher of the word and who has contributed much to the church. - @Darlenys01
However, my hands were strengthened when the Spirit of God reminded me of God's Word in the first chapter of the Book of Joshua in the Bible.
Joshua 1: 3- 9 (NLT)
I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you— from the Negev wilderness in the south to the Lebanon mountains in the north, from the Euphrates River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea[a] in the west, including all the land of the Hittites.’
No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you. “Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them.
Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.
Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
The conscious re-echoing of the words "be strong, be courageous" brought great strength to my heart and bones. I must here express my profound gratitude to @Adedoyinwealth and @Fatherfaith who had built Steemchurch Nigeria from the scratch to where it is at the present. The effort of you two is amazing and will be crested in gold in the "Annals of Steemchurch Niger and Steemchurch International Ministries."
Nigeria, has been christened as the "Giants of Africa" but sadly, we seem to be trailing in the past years due to poor and corrupt governance. Ironically, the giants of Africa has failed in many successive years to have its currency "Naira" rank among the best 10 best African Countries. See current rankings here.
Moreover, our educational systems have been dwindling with least appropriation in National budgets. Our graduates after many years of toil in the many universities cannot afford to have a good job to start up their lives. As at 2017, statistics has it that Nigeria has 18.8% unemployment rate. The trend keeps worsening with recurring acts of failed electoral promises Source.
Despite the few problems enlisted, I am glad to say that our Country is native to many entrepreneurs who have risen against all odds to be a blessing to the world in Education, Innovation, Technology spheres. Indeed, such feats are achievable through God's own intervention. We have great men and women who a re determined to make a difference in the lives and the lives of others.
With the advent of the blockchain, Nigerians are not at the rear, there have grown self-built enthusiasts and innovators that are making waves in the blockchain and cryptocurrency world. We are glad to say that Steemchurch Nigeria will make efforts to reach out to them so that we create a synergy which will help to build our Nation.
I am very sure that with the direction Steemchurch is going and a track of the past successes, Steemchurch Nigeria can become a great force to change the status quo in our nations and will REVIVE HOPE in families and communities of our dear Nation. Surely, Nigeria is our ours to build whether others support or not.
UNVEILING #ChristOurHope
The sole aim of this leadership of Steemchurch Nigeria will be to rebuild Hope for Nigerians. This is in line with the grand project of Steemchurch International geared towards STRENGTHENING FAMILIES TO RESTORE A BETTER SOCIETY FOR ALL. It is true that when families are strengthened, societies and nations at large will be strengthened. Also, we need to understand that families are made of people who agree to pursue a vision. This implies that there must be a like mind in all those who will forma a family.
There is no other mind that thinketh good than that of Christ!
Having considered all possible options, it appears and truly, there is no other source where we can revive hope for Nigeria apart from Christ. In all that we will achieve, it will be possible through Christ.
Colossians 1: 27 (NLT)
For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.
Indeed, I have discovered that having Christ as our greatest asset and motivation is what will rebuild our hope. Afterall, He (Christ) is our Light, Life, Wisdom, Strength, Defense, Advocate, Model and Future.
I therefore call on all who will identify with the Nigerian arm of Steemchurch International - @Sc-n to embrace this sub-vision (#ChristOurHope) of Steemchurch towards restoring the hope of Nigerians. SUrely, the blessings that God has embedded in Steemchurch for us here on Steem, Telos and other platforms in the future are that we should be a blessing to others.
