The Solution To NIGERIA’s Problem Is In The BIBLE

• Pastor DOTUN OJELABI Reveals

There are some qualities we have to quickly imbibe, get trained, acquire knowledge about, for us to stand out in the coming years. And for us to have fulfilled destinies and purpose in life, and I call it, there are 6 of them. When ever God wants to rescue a nation, there are 6 people he sends to you. Nigeria will be rescued, and I offer myself to President BOLA AHMED TINUBU, to give counsel and to give direction and to help solve complex problems. We maybe underestimated, but the wisdom that we have, can help give directions and solutions. The same happened to Daniel in the Bible. King Nebuchadnezzar was using other means to solve problems……so all of a sudden he saw certain things in Daniel. So he invited Daniel. It seems you have an idea that is a little bit superior to that of the people I have been using before, because the king Nebuchadnezzar employed “Astrologers, diviners and fortune tellers” . (using Daniel 5:11 TPT), Nebuchadnezzar now saw that. This is what he has to say about Daniel. He said Daniel you have the Spirit of God. So Prophet Dotun Ojelabi has the spirit of God. That is what we will use to solve Nigeria’s problem. We are in Nigeria. We are not Japaing (pidgin) (fleeing), so that we can proffer. World Bank can not solve Nigeria’s problem, foreign institutions can not solve Nigeria’s problem, it is Nigerians that will solve this present problem, particularly open hearted Nigerians. When it is Sallah time, I give money to Muslims. I buy ram. When you have a man with a kingdom mind, you have a solution already. Someone that is not discriminatory, and not bias in approach. And we have to leave Ethnicity, religiosity, and face national issues, how we can rescue our nation. And that’s what is on my mind, and we are here as Gate keepers and watchers. So that Nigeria will not go down, (and it will not go down in the name of Jesus).

Now I am using the Daniel’s template…..There are 5 other Templates. Number One: the King, which is like our President, saw something in Daniel and said, this man can actually solve our problem….our national problem. So he invited him. So this is what he found in Daniel. He found that he has the spirit of God. He found that he has light what it means is that, he is enriched in the word, and….can you see that I don’t need to be opening Bible. It is because of constant years of study I do study 6 hours a day. And I have done that for five years. You see, once you do that the Word in you lights up. So the darkness will not be able to find you. The Bible says “The entrance of his word giveth light and giveth understanding to the simple”. So that is what King Nebuchadnezzar saw in Daniel….. Even Jesus Christ….the Bible says in him is light and no darkness at all, so once the light is ignited, there’s a level of clarity, precision, accuracy and order….you  know….in Genesis chapter one, the Bible says that, the earth was without form and void, it didn’t stop there…..there was a complete confusion upon the face of the deep and it’s a variant of what we are going through in Nigeria and when they wanted to solve that problem, only one thing they needed is light , the light brought order, the light removed confusion, the light ameliorate the economy, and the light put everything in proper collective prosperity and that is what I think the president needs to hear, that there’s a light, that when it’s deployed from the word of God and the wisdom and superior knowledge, it creates an atmosphere for collective prosperity, wether you are Muslim or Christian or Hausa or Igbo, people gravitate when they see that there is light…..and when they see that things are working, if they invite me, I will advise the president for free, and if we can take 1,2,3 steps by January, every thing will turn around in Nigeria, if I be a prophet, and many people know that I am a prophet. The second  thing, you see there are so many qualities in Daniel, number one , Daniel had the spirit of God, he had light, he had brilliant insights, he had God like wisdom, he could interpret dreams, and he could solve very complex problems, you see…. Some of us can help to solve the problems of Nigeria, and we will volunteer our time and our intellect and our wisdom. I am not just a pastor,  I am also a Petroleum Engineer. And I was the best student in 1998, in petroleum engineering, from the University of Ibadan, and I am an expert reservoir simulator, upstream, wether deep water or shallow water reservoirs so I am not just a push away, I have 34 years post university experience in engineering and oil and gas, so if someone like that is talking…. Just like our president too was an oil and gas person, I think we could advise him, I worked with TEXACO OVERSEAS, STAR DEEP WATER and CHEVRON for fourteen years, both abroad and in Nigeria here, so what I am doing now is the same thing I did for TEXACO OVERSEAS and CHEVRON. For example let me explain to you (what I do is that I take, and I upload this into a work station, put pore pressure data, dsd data, login data, and I characterize the reservoir, and it is called field development studies, I studied the field, so I can come and say, oh, Agbami field, the reserves…..I actually worked on Agbami fields, I can delineate the reservoir, and say this is the biggest oil finding in Nigeria, is that not prediction? And really at that time, Agbami was the biggest finding in Nigeria ….it was a billion barrels of reserves , I’m not sure wether any field….Bonga was about eight hundred, so that is what I do, and I upload into a work station and start making accurate predictions, if I can do that without the spirit of God, how much more now that I have the spirit of God…..and many fields I predicted were accurate, now let me tell you the accuracy, I will tell you that one billion barrels is here, I will tell you, you will only need five wells to complete this drainage, and that you don’t need to use straight wells or directional, just use six horizontal wells and each one will be producing six thousand barrels a day and it will do that for five years and I will tell you after five years, water will come, sand will come, gas will come, and this is what you will do, then I will tell you what time you need to bring in an enhanced oil recovery, wether it’s gas injection or water injection to push the oil out, even the problem they are having with our low production with my experience, I can help them to bring ideas, to solve some of the problems, so, I will tell you the reservoir type, wether it’s a water drive or solution cap drive, or it’s a gas drive reservoir, so…..the reason why some of us are doing the work of God is that we love God. Can you imagine a brilliant Engineer saying that he wants to come and serve God and do it full time.

How easy was it at that time?

It wasn’t easy.

it was a big sacrifice, because my children were young, and we had to keep them in school. But thank God, that phase has passed. Recently I turn 55 and I became a grandad, (so no more school fees abroad), if you are making naira and your kids are schooling abroad you can imagine I had three children in Nottingham Trent University on scholarship and I have left oil industry then, it was a tough period but we thank God that things are improving, and we give God the praise and glory, now I have given you one type of person that God can send to rescue a nation.

The second type is a Jochebed, Jochebed, is the most strategic woman in the Bible, Jochebed is the mother of Moses and Miriam,  (I normally laugh at the husband Abraham, I struggle to think that Abraham must be an absentee and a bit of irresponsible dad, because in the picture, we don’t  even know what he is doing or where to find him) Jochebed didn’t have a pastor or a prophet, but she was a woman that listens to God directly, so (I keep telling  people in this time and age, it is an aberration to be following pastors and prophecies all around, when you can study the Bible, and find your God by yourself and do your studies and your prayers by yourself, so Jochebed was like that).

You know, when Moses was born through her womb (so I say when nations are going to be great, it will come from the womb of a Jochebed, so that is my observation of Jochebed). When Moses was born, there was a decree that two month old male and below must be killed, (so Jochebed would have said ahhh, ehhh, ori iya mi o, (Yoruba) ( eh, my mother’s head),she didn’t do that, she spoke to God and God said keep the baby in the house for three months, she did that, after three months she spoke to God, God said now, don’t keep the baby any longer, look for ball rushes, weave them into a basket, put a towel under it and put it on the nile, she said “ahhh, crocodiles dey inside the water e go chop my pikin”( pidgin) (there are crocodiles inside the water and it will swallow my baby), you know, that is what I am talking about, in this times we need people with audacity, to come out of this present predicament, we need what is called “chutzpah”, it is an Hebrew word, and it is a secret of the success of the Jews, it is called audacity, you know, the Jews control the diamonds in the world, one day I was speaking to my friend Pastor Wale Boyd in Antwerp, so I saw some Jews on a boat having a meeting, and I asked him who are those, and he said they are billionaires in dollars, in euros, and the diamonds of the worlds are in their hands, so I tried to study more about them and tried to interact more and I found out that Antwerpen of Antwerp is the  headquarters of diamonds in the world, where they sell diamonds of a million dollars, a million pounds, that aside…….what I am saying is that they succeed the way they succeeded in three ways.

1. Chutzpah, they have a kind of confidence and audacity, that they can’t fail, they have a community, they do things together, (it’s like the Hausas, if you see an Hausa man prospering all the family members will cross their legs and go and rest, because the prosperity will spread, I see that in the Hausas a lot, but I am yet to see that in the Yorubas, the Yorubas like competitions, once you break through now, they say ehhh look at him, ‘Igberaga eh ti poju (Yoruba), Yorubas are expert in crab mentality, ‘won ma n je ifun ara won’ (Yoruba), since Awolowo days they can’t even speak in one language, they are too envious and jealous….. and the Igbos also have that kind of communal approach to life. In fact, they are studying the apprenticeship of the Igbo in Harvard, that thing beats me all the time .

There are good things in our system, that we can use as template to project the future of Nigeria, and for collective prosperity.

I will go back to Chutzpah. The lady called Jochebed, the mother of Moses has that kind of Audacity. She knew that Moses cannot die, and she was following God with the risk. Let me give you an example of what she did. She took the basket. I researched about the Nile. At the time the Nile had about a 100 hungry crocodiles, but she did not care. She said as long as God has said it, I will do it. And there will be result. As long as God has said Nigeria is  going to be great, I believe it, and I am not going to fold my hands, I will pray, I will fast (We just finished the forty days fasting 6 to 6 and I decided to just put icing on it and did another three days of fasting, and also prayed, I am praying for this government, they can’t fail, they will succeed, Nigeria cannot fail, I am praying for the presidency, the governors, I am praying for the nation, we can not fail, the Nation will be set on auto pilot for collective prosperity, without the success of Nigeria, there will not be collective continental prosperity.

I will wrap up the remaining 4. There is a man called Barzillai the Gileadite. We need that kind of person with grace and mantle and anointing to rescue our nation.

There’s another person called Achish the king of Gath. We need that kind of person for national prosperity.

There’s another person called Zech, Zechariah that understood Vision, a teenage king of Jiddah, he was 16, Hosai was his name, he succeeded for 52 years, because he had a Zechariah anointing of mantle. And he was the first person that invented engine in the Bible. So there’s a leadership that provokes Creativity and invention, and that is where the future of the world and it’s people are looking for greener energy now, not burning petrol and diesel up and down. There are electric cars, so that is not the future of mobility, and that is what China really depends on, creativity and invention).

Moses called Hobab, and said Hobab, you are like the eyes of the Israelites in the wilderness. (Moses does not need anybody to show him the way. But at a particular time Moses walked up to Hobab and told him, you are the only  one that can take us to the Promise land, without you, we cannot get there, and he was promised half of the promise land), when you fund an Hobab, you find national prosperity and development, a man with superior knowledge, a man that knows how to help to navigate with precision and accuracy. You know in Christianity, we use big churches as a yard stick of success and it’s not really true, big churches, big cars in the eyes of God and it’s not really true, in modern dynamics and reality it’s not true.

There are 200 men called the sons of Issachar, the Bible says out of 12 tribes there were the least, sometimes least is the most important, the sons of Issachar, they understood times, and they knew what Israel ought to do, you see….. when you have people….. thank God they say sons of Issachar, I think I belong to the sons of Issachar, we can be 10,000, people that know what Nigeria is suppose to do now, and if they do it and the Bible says and all the other tribes answered to them, you know there are 200, there is a tribe that is 180,000 people, that differed to 200, ‘ariwo ko ni music’ (Yoruba), and then less is more, ( have you heard that before ? ) I read a book about that, less can be more, in terms of quality, and impact and influence, so that is where we are concerning that.
