Lives of nations teach important lessons
In a short remark, he gave at the service the vice president related events surrounding the creation of the heaven and earth to the nation's present challenges and the lives of great individuals.
Osinbajo was quoted to have said:
“Indeed, the lives of great men and women, even as the lives of nations teach important lessons.
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. The beginning was bleak, confused, without form, empty.
"This is the way of the lives of some of the greatest men and women and also nations. There might be confusion, grief, trouble, darkness and fear. But even in that confusion, the Bible tells us that the Spirit of the Lord was hovering over the face of the deep. God was in the darkness, He did not run away, He is not asleep.
“So, it is with our nation. Today, some things may seem bleak and grave, with insecurity, economic difficulties, but even in the midst of these problems, the Spirit of God is in this land, it is here, hovering over this nation.”
