The document discusses several challenges related to population growth and unemployment. It notes that the world population is currently over 7.4 billion and estimated to reach 11.2 billion by 2100. This level of population growth poses major challenges that will be catastrophic without proper governance and global cooperation. Unemployment is one such challenge, as many developing nations have more graduates than available jobs. However, some industrialized nations have been better able to absorb graduates and combat unemployment through emerging industries. The document advocates for embracing unity and developing relationships between nations to mutually address issues like unemployment through sectors like agriculture.

1. The world population is currently in the region of over 7.4 billion according to
demographics. The United Nations estimates that it will rise to 11.2 billion in the
year 2100. Population growth poses major challenges to the world. If no proper
governing institutions are put in place it would be catastrophic. The world should
embrace unity like never before to contain this challenge! More people mean
more opportunity must be created. This can only happen in the environment
of Peace.
Unemployment stands out as one of these challenges. In many developing
nations of the world, many learning institu-
tions churn out graduates scrambling for
limited job opportunities. The current job
market is unable to absorb all of them; only
a handful finds secures job opportunities.
Embracing Others The Excellent Way Forward!

2. Industrialized nations like China,
Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and
others are much better even
though they have much popula-
tion they are able to absorb the
graduates in their emerging in-
dustries. They also have challeng-
es majorly in marketing their
products. The absence of Peace complicates this situation more.
Countries like South Sudan and Burundi are currently facing unrest.
Most potential business have closed shop due to these upheavals.
Agriculture is one area that would fight unemployment.
There are many swathes of land lying fallow in areas that have been en-
dowed with this resource. Lack of adequate farm inputs and unwilling-
ness by young people to embrace Agriculture has negatively impacted to
this problem.

3. The nation of Israel has acquired amazing technologies that if em-
braced would transform the world economy through Agriculture. God
promised his servant Abraham that he will bless those who bless him
and to curse those who curse him. He declared: “I will bless those
who bless you, And I will curse
him who curses you; And in you
all the families of the earth shall be
blessed." Gen. 12:3. Many nations
are realizing that the policies of iso-
lation would no longer benefit them.
They have started developing rela-
tionships for the mutual benefits of
their people. The recent visit by Is-
rael Prime Minister Benjamin Netan-
yahu to East Africa region is a move in the right direction. Israel need
the world, the world needs Israel.

4. Joseph’s ability to interpret dreams saved the
whole world. Gen.40. If God had not revealed to Jo-
seph of the impending danger (famine) what do you
think could have happened?
There are some world regions who have been
complaining about marginalization by their respec-
tive governments. Northern Nigeria has suffered a
great deal. Many innocent lives have been lost due
to insurgents by Boko Haram militants. Over 200 Chibok in Borno State
schoolgirls were abducted almost two years ago by the said militants.
In Africa culture, every child belonged to the community. Everyone
member of the community had the right to instill discipline to every child
in the community. Everyone’s deeds shall judge him. If you sow to the
flesh, you will reap corruption (death).

5. If you sow to the Spirit you shall
reap everlasting life. “For he who
sows to his flesh will of the flesh
reap corruption, but he who
sows to the Spirit will of the
Spirit reap everlasting life.” Gal.
6:8 If you treat one’s child well,
yours will also be treated well.
That is the principle of God’s
Word. It is the high time these girls were released unconditionally so
that the government would embark on developing this area for the better-
ment of her people. The book of Job records how Job handled himself
during the most trying moment of his life. He spent time inquiring from
God where he had gone wrong. Remember, it is God who allowed Satan
to test Job. Job 1:8-12. Job remained steadfast in faith. His integrity
remained intact.

6. He did not seek to harm any person. “Yield now, let there be no in-
justice! Yes, concede, my righteousness still stands!” Job 6:29. God
expects us to remain faithful during our time of testing. Our trials never
come an inch closer to Job’s trials. Jesus forgave His
offenders. He said, “Then said Jesus, Father, for-
give them; for they know not what they do. And
they parted his raiment, and cast lots.” Luke
23:34 (KJV).
Life is short; we should learn to forgive others and
continue with our destiny to the ’Promised Land”.
Those who suffer well without victimizing others
have discovered the significance of Integrity and Justice! And as God
restored Job back to double measure of what he had lost during his trials,
He will honour them too!
