I want
to talk about a delicate issue!
I know
we the people are meant to respect and honour them, Men of God!
But what
will make a young educated and well cultured man like myself keep quiet when I see
obvious trash being displayed publicly particularly by those who are meant to
show decorum and public probity.
I won’t
blame the spiritual leaders but the spiritual followers who have decided to be
so used by these so-called spiritual leaders. If you happen to adore your Mummy
and Daddy in church more than you honour your parents, you are of all son or
daughter most miserable and the thunder that should fire you is still doing
press-up in Heaven!
I see
the way many men and women, boys and girls honour, respect and listen to their
Pastors and Spiritual Leaders but the case becomes totally different when it
comes to their biological or adopted parent that groomed them. They even quote
these infallible men like they are Angels from Heaven, even Satan was an angel
and fell!
Our Pastors
and Spiritual Leaders will keep taking us for a ride when we keep being foolish
followers. For crying out loud, these Pastors are humans like me and you and it’s
high time we keep them in that place than exalt them more than the God we haven’t
seen but have obviously felt his hands.
With the
suffering in the land, a so called ‘Self-styled Big Boy Fashionista Pastor’
somewhere in Africa has the effrontery to show-off on social media and I begin
to wonder what sort of generation we are breeding - these are the kind of Pastors that their
members will likely see nothing wrong in what is happening in the
BigBrotherNaija show. How do you ever have the guts to show-off your affluence
on social media when 90% of your wealth is reaped off other people’s sweat – its
high time Pastors begin to establish, run and manage factories, set up
businesses, build roads in their immediate communities, provide free or
discounted healthcare for members of the host communities. These Pastors need
to know that they can live off the purse of the church and they can operate
like they are above corrections – Freeze, you are my GUY anytime anyday for
calling out that ‘Self-styled Big Boy Fashionista Pastor’ somewhere in Africa. He
is part of the problem we have in Nigeria.
We need
a strong hand (Efficient Laws and Strong Institutions) on the spiritual
leadership and institutions in Nigeria and I really do hope that the present generations
of youths are taking a cue and deciding that these wrongs and oligarchs in the
Nigerian Christendom cannot continue. If Nigeria will ever change, even our
Pastors must be accountable and made to lead a simple life of probity.
We are
not saying ‘Don’t enjoy or live large’ but do so in your closet off the prying
eye of your ‘followers’ that obviously cannot afford the life you lead but that
their sweat and suffering has made possible.
Personally,
I will never ever adore or love a Pastor above my Family or even my Country. As
a God personified entity with a mandate to fulfill his purpose on earth, my
mandate lies first to Humanity (those around me), my family and lastly to
myself (ensuring that I lead an exemplary life worthy of emulation)
