For four years now, little Leah Sharibu has been lacking in her schools' children's Day get together. not best that she has been transformed against her will right into a teenage mother of two as we heard in the information, she has additionally been forcefully converted to Islam by using her captors.
Friday, 14th may also, 2021, become the 18th birthday of the ambassador of Christ- Leah Sharibu. no one might be stunned if she didn't even bear in mind her big day because of glaring motives. but because the world marked the 2021 children's Day final Thursday 27th may additionally, we remembered Leah and each other newborn each those who have fallen and people nonetheless in captivity, hoping and praying that one day, they will reunite with their households and pals.
Leah's story isn't just a latest-day Christian martyr narrative, however also, that of contemporary-day slavery. younger Leah is only one out of heaps of black Africans, frequently Christians who have been enslaved via terrorists and trafficked in Libya, Sudan, Nigeria, Algeria and so forth.
while the prayers for their freedom intensify, renowned Minister of God and iconic gospel singer, Dr Panem Percy Paul, has via his soul-inspiring capacity of verbal exchange, released a track of hope for Leah.
it is entitled "Hero of faith". The song, with very potent lyrics in the semblance of "country for Africa", that includes late hip-hop legend, Michael Jackson and a couple of track stars, is a message of hope, religion in God and a prayer for freedom.
It captures the mood of worried individuals on the vulnerability of our infants within the face of daunting degree of insecurity bedevilling Nigeria.
do not forget that it became during a kidnap incident on February 19, 2018, involving 109 executive ladies' Technical college students, Yobe state, that the heroine of faith -Leah turned into left behind as a result of she refused to renounce her religion in Christ Jesus. 5 of her classmates died in the process while others had been later launched. Leah has remained in captivity with none effort from authorities to peer to her freedom.
From Leah Sharibu, to Benjamin Habila of govt Science school, Niger state; and Michael Nnadi of decent Shepherd Seminary Kakau, Kaduna state who have been each murdered during terrorists' onslaught on their schools, the emotion encumbered tune extols the advantage of these heroes who exhibited so plenty religion and electricity in their maker. it's disheartening that govt has failed woefully to rescue Leah, the last Chibok women and a lot of others.
The track launched currently, is performed through Dr Panem Percy Paul, and a global group of musicians together with legendary Christian musicians akin to Lou Fellingham, Noel Robinson, Sinach, Steph MacLeod and many others.
in the music video, Dr Panem Percy Paul starts off his strains together with his commonplace melodious voice; "Who would have idea that the faith of Leah Sharibu, would make a nation struggle for survival, who would have thought that the light from her Bible, can be greater than the rifle, and make this girl decide to die, than to disclaim, she is a hero, the hero of religion"
after which the refrain goes, "Heros of religion, scares from the combat, is their best title, no longer silver or gold, Heros of faith, their foremost reward, is the move and the word now not riches untold, when all is asserted and carried out, their gentle maintain shinning on". These strains present a peep into the way of thinking of young Leah and Michael Nnadi who even with dying staring them within the face, maintained a robust faith in Jesus, reminiscing the Biblical gallant trio of Meshach, Shedrach and Abednego.
"Who would have notion, that 4 years would go via, the countries would stand by way of in silence and faux no wrong changed into completed, who would have thought that no quantity of darkness can quench the smallest gentle, oh daughter of Zion retain shinning on, you're the hero of religion, the hero of religion", make up the second stanza. it's coronary heart-wrecking that whereas authorities have paid ransom to terrorists to liberate their victims, Leah seems to had been forgotten. She is however encouraged to grasp on. "Oh daughter of Zion hold shinning on, you are the hero of faith"
lines in the third stanza: "anything about the Lord, His love is His power, and there's no lover, that can give his existence and die for His pals, whatever thing in regards to the Lord, His Kingdom is continuously, he will rule the realm with energy…", is proof that regardless of who is worried, God's love is for each person. however obviously, evil will slay the wicked!
