AN ETERNAL COVENANT BETWEEN GOD, HUMAN PURPOSE, AND DESTINY FOR LIFE
MUSA-ODODO ABDULRAHAMAN
I. THE MYSTERY OF THE DIVINE DIALOGUE
Before time began, before the worlds were framed, before nations were born, GOD initiated a Dialogue – a sacred exchange between Eternal Spirit and emerging creation.
This Dialogue is the first covenant, the eternal law by which life unfolds, purpose is revealed, and destiny is authored.
GOD did not create by force.
GOD did not create by accident.
GOD created by Dialogue.
“Let there be…”
Creation responded.
Order emerged.
Purpose took shape.
Thus, the Divine Dialogue is the template of existence, the primordial protocol through which the Creator imparts Wisdom and the created receives understanding.
Human beings, fashioned in the image of GOD, were endowed with this same capacity:
to listen, to discern, to commune, to interpret, to respond.
This is what makes us human.
This is what makes us purposeful.
This is what makes nations possible.
II. DIALOGUE WITH WISDOM: THE DIVINE MANDATE FOR A PEOPLE
A people who refuse to dialogue with Wisdom cut themselves off from their divine origin.
A nation that abandons Dialogue forfeits revelation.
Societies that silence Wisdom enter into cycles of confusion, corruption, and collapse.
Dialogue with Wisdom is not an intellectual exercise – it is a Divine Mandate, stamped into the spiritual DNA of humanity.
Why?
Because:
- Wisdom is the Interpreter of Purpose
Purpose is not guessed; it is revealed.
Revelation cannot happen in noise; it flows only through Dialogue.
- Destiny is Born from Purpose
People discover who they are only when they converse with Wisdom.
When purpose is unveiled, destiny becomes inevitable.
- Vision Emerges from Purpose, Never from Ambition
A vision not rooted in divine purpose is merely wishful thinking –
a project list, a political manifesto, a developmental plan that ends in dust.
- Only through Dialogue with Wisdom can a people give birth to a vision that lives
A true national vision must spring from:
the essence of a people,
the identity of a people,
the collective spirit of a people.
Such a vision becomes Covenantal, Unbreakable, and Unstoppable.
III. THE FAILURE OF DEVELOPMENTAL VISIONS
Many nations – Nigeria included – have written countless plans, agendas, blueprints, transformations, and reforms.
Yet most failed or remained unfinished.
Why?
Because:
A developmental vision is about infrastructure;
a Divine Vision is about Identity.
A developmental vision asks, “What do we want to build?”
A Divine Vision asks, “Who are We?”
A developmental vision focuses on projects;
A Divine Vision focuses on Purpose.
A developmental vision can be imported, copied, or borrowed;
A Divine Vision is unique, rooted in destiny, and cannot be imitated.
This is why nations rise or fall based on the integrity of their inner conversation.
Until a people discover why they exist, they cannot determine what they must build.
IV. THE ESSENCE OF A PEOPLE: PURPOSE, DESTINY, AND COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS
The essence of a nation is not its borders or its institutions – it is the Collective Consciousness of its People, bound by a Shared sense of Destiny.
A Nation Becomes Unstoppable when:
its People Know who they Are,
they Understand Why they Exist,
they Share a Unified Dream,
they Speak with One Spirit.
Purpose – births Vision
Vision – births Aspirations
Aspirations – shape the National Dream
The National Dream – becomes a Covenant
The Covenant – becomes the Power of Collective Will
This is why some nations, even when small or limited, achieve unimaginable greatness – because they move as one people with one spirit, driven by a purpose greater than themselves.
But for this to happen…
For a nation to awake…
For a destiny to be revealed…
THEY MUST DIALOGUE.
THEY MUST REASON.
THEY MUST LISTEN.
THEY MUST SEEK WISDOM.
V. THE DIVINE PATTERN: GOD HIMSELF MODELED NATIONAL DIALOGUE
GOD never imposes His will without dialogue.
Before humanity was created, He declared:
“Let Us create man…”
A Divine Council.
A heavenly dialogue.
A sacred deliberation.
This is the heavenly pattern.
This is the Divine Protocol.
GOD does nothing without Dialogue.
Therefore, no nation can fulfill destiny without Dialogue.
A people who refuse Dialogue with Wisdom break the covenant of creation.
VI. NATIONAL DIALOGUE: THE ONLY PATH TO PURPOSE AND DESTINY
A Broad National Dialogue – A Dialogue with Wisdom – is the only known pathway through which a people can:
Rediscover their identity
Uncover their divine purpose
Articulate their national destiny
Forge a shared vision
Build a collective will
Ignite national transformation
When a nation dialogues:
truth is revealed
grievances are healed
differences are harmonized
corrupt foundations are uprooted
purpose is rediscovered
destiny becomes clear
vision is birthed
This is why every successful civilization – ancient and modern – has undergone deliberate, intentional moments of collective dialogue.
It is Divine.
It is Scriptural.
It is Historical.
It is Civilizational.
A nation cannot be truly reborn without returning to the altar of Wisdom.
VII. CONCLUSION: THE SUPREME CALL
Nigeria, and every nation yearning for transformation, must return to the Divine Dialogue –
the eternal covenant between GOD, human purpose, and destiny.
This is not politics.
This is not ideology.
This is not reform.
It is Restoration.
It is Revelation.
It is Realignment.
It is Destiny Calling.
For:
without Dialogue, there is no Wisdom;
without Wisdom, there is no Purpose;
without Purpose, there is no Destiny;
without Destiny, there is no Vision;
without Vision, there is no Future.
But with Dialogue – with Wisdom –
A People will Rise.
A Vision will be Born.
A Nation will Awaken.
A Destiny will Manifest.
This is the Divine Mandate.
This is the Eternal Covenant.
This is the Path to National Rebirth.
The Time Has Come.
Let the People Dialogue With Wisdom.
Let the Nation Find Its Destiny.
