EKO HOT BLOG reports that Musa made the disclosure while sharing a personal testimony during a worship service at the Conquerors Global Assembly in Abuja.
According to the minister, there was a critical period in his life when some individuals believed they had successfully worked against him and halted his progress.
He said the situation was later turned around through God’s intervention, leading to his eventual rise.
“We give God the glory for what has happened this year. Even when the enemy thought they were putting us down, they did not know God was going to lift us up,” Musa said.
He added that those who plotted against him underestimated the power of faith and perseverance.
“In their small minds they conspired and thought they had won. But as long as you have God as your pillar, you will win,” he declared.
The former Chief of Defence Staff urged Christians not to lose hope during difficult times, noting that challenges often serve as preparation for greater responsibilities.
“If you are never challenged, you can never improve in life,” Musa said.
He further encouraged believers to remain steadfast, stressing that God does not abandon His people in moments of trial.
“Because we serve a living God, He will never give up on us,” he said.
Speaking on national strength, Musa described Nigerians as resilient and victorious, especially when united in faith.
“As Nigerians, we know we are strong, but we are stronger together with God Almighty. Nigerians are winners,” he said.
The minister also called on citizens to continually pray for the country and its leaders.
“We must continue to pray for our leaders and our country,” he added.
Musa’s remarks come weeks after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu nominated him as Minister of Defence.
On December 2, the President forwarded Musa’s name to the Senate for confirmation following the resignation of the former minister, Mohammed Badaru, who stepped down due to health challenges.
Musa, who previously served as Chief of Defence Staff, was subsequently appointed to lead the Defence Ministry amid ongoing security challenges across the country.
