God Will Show Up For Kidnapped Train Passengers – Adesina

Presidential Spokesman, Femi Adesina has prayed that God should show up in the lives of the kidnapped Abuja-Kaduna train passengers.

Naija News reports that Boko Haram insurgents attacked the Kaduna-bound train on March 28, killing at least nine persons and abducting over 60 passengers.

Despite a series of pleas to release the victims, the terrorists demanded the release of their children kept in a facility in Yola before they could free the abducted train passengers.

In an article on his Facebook page on Thursday titled ‘And God decided to show up’, Adesina asked that God should protect the lives of the victims who have been in captivity for two months.

The presidential spokesman also expressed hope that God will show up in Nigeria’s security, economy, politics and inter-social relationships among the citizens.

Adesina related how God can show up in a man’s life to the emergence of Manchester City as the winner of the 2021/2022 English Premier League (EPL).

He said: “Just a couple of weeks back, Man City was leading Real Madrid by two goals in the semi-final match of the European Champions League. And within the three minutes left in the game, Real Madrid drew level. And at extra time, got awarded a penalty, and Man City was out. A true shock. In a similar fashion, the team was now winning the EPL.

“I shook my head and told myself: that only God could have done this. Turning defeat into victory in the twinkle of an eye. Is He interested in soccer? Is the Almighty not too busy to be interested in something as mundane as a football game? Both sides would be praying for victory, so which prayer would He answer? Would He not then be partial to one side?

“Well, I don’t know the answers. But what I know is that only God could have done what happened within five minutes at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. He sits in Heaven, and from there, rules in the affairs of men. He did so for Man City, whether the players themselves believe it or not. He showed His sovereignty once again.

“And you know what? God will show up in Nigeria. In our security. Economy. Politics. Inter-social relationships. In our personal lives, at every front, every level. In the lives of captives of terrorists, God will show up, and we shall be like people that dream. The ravening clouds shall no longer be victorious. They shall no longer possess the sky.”
