Ezekiel 37:4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
Ezekiel 37:7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
"Bones" in scripture refers to situations. There is a difference between the verse "bone of my bones"(Gen2:23) and "bones" as used in Ezekiel 37. Its all entrenched in the right understanding and application of scripture language.
Ezekiel 37 is one of the most profound parts of the Bible which teaches on the importance of Prophecy. The Prophet Ezekiel was taken to a place full of dry bones, and then God told him to speak(prophesy) to the bones, and he did and the bones came alive again. Now, this is so profound, it gives the understanding of the mastery of words over situations. Words are very important in situations, the Bible says God spoke to the Prophet Ezekiel and told him to speak to the dry bones, God didn't speak to the dry bones, He told the Prophet Ezekiel to speak. This gives an understanding that God isn't necessarily going to help you speak to a situation and change it, you are the one with the responsibility to speak to that situation and change it. The bones were very dry, but words from Ezekiel brought them back to life.
I'd like to speak to Nigeria and Nigerians in the light of this, going through scriptures we find out how Nations which had hit the bricks were revived once again, noteworthy is Israel's economy revamp after a period of famine and recession(2Kings7), Nigeria will definitely be great again. We speak life and progress to this land, everyone who is determined to stand against the progress of Nigeria will have his or her life cut short. God's will of progress and growth on Nigeria will surely come to pass. Nigeria will be great again!
