The word "corruption" is not just a word again in this part of the world, it has built an empire in our minds, lives and day to day activities, many are of the opinion that it's the government that is corrupt, some think it's our leaders that are corrupt, to many it's the system that is corrupt, and to some it has become a normal phenomenon. Corruption has plagued us in this country, it has hindered us from developing and being economically strong as a nation, and it resides in the minds of individuals in this great nation.

Corruption Is a mindset, it's a way a mind is programmed, the way a group of people or set of people think and behave, an infant child growing up In a corrupt environment learns the act by default, he or she learns it as a way the world works and that thinking becomes a stronghold in his mind that he can't let go of or change.
THE CURE
If corruption is a mind set then it's best to attack it from the mind which is the source with the right weapons. There have been many attempt to effect change in this country but it has all led us to this point where things keeps getting worse, the only solution to this menance is a weapon powerful enough to renew a human mind, a weapon with the ability to cause a real and permanent positive change to a decayed and depraved mind, this weapon is the WORD OF GOD.
Let's do a little of bible study here,
Romans 12:2]Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed (changed) by the renewal of your mind, so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]."The renewal of your mind", it takes the supernatural power of Gods word to break the addictions and cause a change In a mind, it has been proven to be effective and powerful over the decades with various testimonies. When a drug addict, armed robber, kidnappers, ritualist etc, comes in contact with the word and allow it into their minds then it is mandatory for a turnaround to take place,then the society becomes a safe place, the police, soldiers, custom officers, and other law enforcement agencies will discharge their duties with justice and righteousness if they allow the word of God into their minds. In Romans 10:14]But how are people to call upon Him Whom they have not believed [in Whom they have no faith,]? And how are they to believe in Him of Whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?, Here comes the need for a preacher, we need to start listening to those God has raised up for us as preachers of this word, those who preach the truth, we must listen to them, in vs [16]But they have not all heeded the Gospel; for Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed (had faith in) what he has heard from us?, The problem we have today is that we refuse to allow the word we hear change us, we are mostly fond of saying "am not the only one doing it", if we start obeying and practicing the word of God we hear and see everyday then the society will be a safe place, Nigeria can be made great, this real change must start from within our minds, it starts from me and you let's join our hands together to make this nation great.
