TEXT: Psalm
9:11-20
TOPIC: GOD
WILL NEVER FORGET THE POOR
Multidimensional Poverty
Index (MPI) carried out a survey in collaboration with the National Bureau of
Statistics (NBS) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Initiative (OPHI) across the
36 states of Nigeria in 2022.
It revealed that 63% of
Nigerians, representing 133 million people, are multidimensionally poor. It also
revealed that 65% of the poor, that is, 86 million people, live in the north
while 35%, representing 47 million people, live in the south.
What is even more
worrisome is that, according to the survey, the widening gap between the
majority poor and the minority rich is largely exacerbated by political, religious
and moral corruption in Nigeria. This mean that the Church was also indicted.
The psalmist reminds his
readers that God is not an absentee landlord Who is helplessly watching and
doing nothing.
The psalmist comforts us
that God, Who avenges blood, doesn’t ignore the cries of the afflicted and will
never forget the needy. The hope of the afflicted should never perish as God
will strike the corrupt and wicked with terror.
QUESTION: When
God judges pollical, religious and moral corruption, will you come out clean?
PRAYER: Dear
Lord, forgive my sin of avarice and greed in, Jesus’ name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
