For @BusinessDayNg. “Sidi’s dilemma — like Nigeria’s — is a false choice. The path out of poverty lies not in Lakunle’s borrowed scripts or Baroka’s selective cunning but in building three infrastructures which honour the past while forging the future. Cultural infrastructure transforms traditions into systems of innovation, layering technology onto communal practices. Political infrastructure empowers local governance with tools and accountability for locally sensitive policymaking. Trade infrastructure weaves physical and digital bridges, turning rural producers into global players. China’s playbook shows that development is not a rupture but a dialogue. For Nigeria, this means rejecting both the contractor-driven “progress” of white elephants and the elite capture masked as tradition. It demands rewriting the narrative — one where Sidi leverages cultural resilience, accountable governance, and inclusive trade to craft an ending worthy of her promise. The task is urgent: without these pillars, cities will keep bursting, inequalities will fester, and the jewel of Nigeria’s potential will remain trapped in someone else’s tale.”

Understanding His Faithfulness Psalm 100:5 For the LORD is good, and His loving devotion endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations. Have we ever wondered why Jesus came only approximately 4000 years after Adam? There are estimated to be thirty-four generations from Adam to Abraham and forty-two generations from Abraman to Jesus, totalling seventy-six generations. The figures imply that salvation came after 4000 years and seventy-six generations later. Are these figures just numbers, or is there significance in them? Many might be unaware that GOD not only speaks through His Words but also His actions. Therefore, the Bible consists of more than the law, rules, and practices. It consists of stories and events that reflect the act of GOD in the lives of His people. When GOD says He will be good to His people, the stories will reflect His goodness to His people. Then, the next question we will ask is, how many times? If it is all the time, then there must be sufficient records proving it. Basically, GOD will do what He says and what He says are not empty words. Hence, the Bible records the events as testimonies of GOD's goodness. If GOD says He will show loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments, He will do it. Even if the promise is yet to be fulfilled, then heaven and earth will have to wait for Him to fulfil His promise before the world can come to an end or anything else can happen that will jeopardise His promise. If not, GOD does not live up to His Words, speaking in a figure of speech and exaggeration. It means He cannot be trusted, overpromising and under-delivering. Therefore, GOD let time prove everything, and what He says is true. GOD took 4000 years and seventy-six generations to demonstrate His faithfulness to His Word. Despite all the unfaithfulness from His people through the generations, God remains faithful and even sends Jesus to the cross for His unrepentant people. In any given situation, even if all have given up, GOD will never give up. GOD has to prove Himself faithful even in our unfaithfulness. Paul asserts that if we are faithless, GOD remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself. Therefore, time became the acid test of GOD's true nature. He is what He is according to His Words, without addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to them. When GOD says, 'My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish,' there can be no deviation. And if GOD says a thousand generations to those who love Him, it must be a thousand generations and nothing less. Just imagine someone telling us something, giving us a solemn promise, and at the end of it, saying he was joking and did not mean what he said. GOD is not like that; He is not a Joker, and He does not joke with His promises. GOD is faithful in His promises, but not all promises are easy to grant, especially those involving the destruction of our enemies. Because being kind to one is being cruel to the other, we must be patient with GOD because all things must happen according to His will in His time. Our enemies are nothing more than good people being disobedient. Therefore, many things cannot be rushed, and we must understand that if it is not within GOD's perfect timing, we cannot see the promise. It is written in Hebrews that many were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised. To say it bluntly, GOD did not save them from their enemies because the timing was not right. The reality of living in the dualistic world is that for good to live is for evil to die, or for light to exist is for darkness to vanish. Therefore, if it is not time for GOD to destroy evil like the way GOD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, then the good will have to suffer. When we pray for GOD to deliver us from evil, and if it is not happening, it is not that GOD is dead, but we need to have patience. As much as GOD wants to deliver us from our sufferings by destroying evil, He first needs to save those still in bondage to evil. In Epistle 2 Peter writes: The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. As long as there is a possibility that someone might change his heart for GOD, GOD is willing to wait. It is similar to taking a plane. As long as we have checked for departure, the plane will wait even though we are late for boarding. Therefore, Jesus said, "And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them at the last day. For it is My Father's will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him at the last day." In other words, as long as our names are in GOD's manifest, we will never miss the plane. God is adamant about fulfilling His promises on the one condition that none of His chosen ones perish, but everyone comes to repentance. That is GOD's faithfulness. Only when GOD is assured that all who are good have left the so-called Sodom and Gomorrah will He show no mercy in destroying it. GOD is answerable to those who love Him and keep His commandments to be faithful to their thousand generations. There is a little secret here. If we want to see our children, grandchildren, and many generations after that be well, we must love GOD and keep His commandments faithfully and carefully. Even if we are not good parents and grandparents, GOD will not fail us in taking care of them. In other words, when we are faithful to GOD, He will take care of our fruit. It is when we take care of the roots, and the fruits will take care of themselves. When we have strong roots with GOD, our fruit will naturally be strong. Even when we are long gone, His faithfulness will never leave them. In view of GOD's commitment to the descendants of those who love Him, He must be faithful not only to the living but also to the dead. GOD is in a tight spot, having to find a fair balance between them. Therefore, in the parable of the weeds, GOD did not remove the weeds from the wheat but let them grow together until harvest. There is another way of looking at this parable. GOD is faithful even to the evil ones, as seen in the parable. He will not prematurely remove the weeds until harvest, giving the weeds a chance to be full-grown before they are removed. The epistle of James writes: Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Only when sin is full-grown will it lead to death. Any time shorter than full-grown, GOD will not sentence them to death. That is GOD's mercy and grace. Though a weed cannot change to a wheat, a man can change from one who belongs to evil to good. The penitent thief on the cross next to Jesus changed in his last hours. If GOD had prematurely removed him, he would have missed his salvation. Many times, we will not understand GOD's wisdom, especially those whom the thief stole from. Just imagine the frustration, anguish, and suffering the thief would have caused if he had stolen from the poor, needy and helpless. We must know that a thief has no morals; if not, he would not be stealing. He would not have considered the consequences of his actions to his victims. Despite all the evil he had done, everything could be forgiven through Jesus. To the thief, this is grace, but to his victims, it is injustice and unfairness. That is the fact, whether we like it or not. GOD is not going to ostracise the thief for us. It becomes our obligation to forgive if we love GOD. To forgive is a huge obstacle we must overcome. As Jesus taught us to pray: And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. Instead of hating our enemies, we must love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, that we may be sons of our Father in heaven. If we do not forgive, GOD is not going to forgive us. Therefore, when we meet with our oppressors, we must be magnanimous and forgive. No matter how unwilling we feel, this unwillingness will turn to willingness if we understand how much Jesus suffered for us. If we are reluctant because we cannot see the pain of Jesus on the cross, then we will lose more than what we have lost: our eternity. Never be penny wise, pound foolish. Therefore, when we pray, please refrain from praying for the death of our enemies or curse them to hell. That is not biblical. All we can do is to ask GOD to deliver us from our enemies. Anything more than that is evil. We must understand that GOD hates the sin but loves the sinners. Therefore, when sinners oppress us, we must learn to forebear and not sin against GOD by complaining. We must remember the condition of GOD's forgiveness is that we forgive those who sin against us. As in the story of the prodigal son, GOD shows His faithfulness by His willingness to wait and keep on waiting for His sons to come back. However, it is on His terms and not on their terms. That wait can be as many years as it needs, as nothing can stop GOD from being faithful. In our lifetime, we can only see a fraction of GOD's divine plan, not the whole plan. Therefore, we must have faith in GOD as Abraham did when GOD promised to make him a great nation and that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. Abraham never once saw any of those happen. GOD is faithful; even when Abraham was long gone, GOD ensured that He fulfilled what He promised. What can we understand through this? We count our time by years within a lifetime, while GOD counts His by generations by thousands of years. What is considered a long time to us is not long to Him. Though long, GOD's plan is not infinite but finite, with a definite beginning and an ending. Within His allocated time, He will demonstrate who He is through the lives of His people. If GOD does not prove Himself, what He says might be empty words. However, when GOD reveals Himself, it is not as simple as writing a book. His Words must become life, force or energy to His people, leading the way and revealing the truth. When we want to know GOD, we must read His actions. As action speaks louder than words, we must countercheck His Word with His action to know His true intent. His actions are a way GOD uses to define His Word so that there is no misinterpretation. If GOD says He loves us, then how much does He love us? For that, He has to show us through His action. If GOD does not demonstrate it, then what is the value of His Word? When GOD says He loves us, it means He is willing to die for us. That is when we see GOD as Christ on the cross. That far exceeds any love declaration from any man to his lover. Without His actions, we cannot understand the magnitude of His love. Therefore, be highly suspicious of salesmen promoting GOD, like selling snake oil, with their stories and testimonies from their unverified scriptwriters, which are fictitious. Do not be swept away like Eve did by the words of the Serpent. Be also suspicious of false prophets who weave lies with the truth. Only the Bible is the officially accepted Word of GOD. Therefore, please do not believe in any unofficial sources that will convince us with a bit of truth and lead us to lies. GOD has used 4000 years to write about Himself in His stories, and they should be enough to lead us through the most one hundred and twenty years of our lives. Prayer: Thank you, God, for your faithfulness to me through time and generations. Your faithfulness knows no boundary or obstacle. Even when I am unfaithful and evil, you remain faithful. Your love for me will never change. As you will never give up on me, let me not give up on myself. Continue to be that hand that lifts me when I fall and to guard me from my foolishness as I find my way home to you. Amen.
