My guy, things are falling apart and the Center can no
longer hold. People just dey craze anyhow and dem go
see anyhow. Jungle don mature, HA!!! I fit faint. When I
was a little boy in the city of Peterkwa, called Port-
Harcourt, I was taught NEVER to use God's name in
vain. Nowadays, everybody just dey call God name
anyhow dem like. When Yahoo yahoo boys dey pray for
good business, dem go call Him name before they obtain.
Armed robbers pray, before they go for an operation, dem
go hala Him name. Some of our governors are using
prayers to confuse their people as they plunder the land
with impunity. Bone face Bragadoooo. Some of them
these days claim they talk with God, they claim they are
MEN of God, they also use God's name to obtain big time
from their congregation.
Several religious wars have been fought in God's name,
politicians loot and run down the country in God's name,
Kenyan terrorist attackers paused for prayers before they
continued their killings, all they did was done in God's name,
hideous criminals operate, relying on God's name, great
crimes and atrocities are committed, all in God's name.
Chinekee God, are you there?
Throughout history, religion has been used as an excuse or
driving force for some of the worst atrocities unimaginable.
From prehistory to modern history, religion is for many
people just an excuse to kill some people, obtain from some
people, lie to some people, and cause all 'kinda' katakata, all
in the name of God. This is not FAIR! Biko!
I was watching CNN the other day and the news of the Bishop
of Limburg, Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst popularly called
The BLING Bishop, being ordered to Rome to answer to his
choice of mounting an extravagant new residence complex
which blew out to at least 31 million euros ($42 million). Not
too long the German church had suffered fallout from a child
sex scandal. Kai! Madness!
I simply don't understand this, using church funds to enrich
ones' self or satisfy ones' selfish desire. $42 million, what
for? Did he forget that people contributed this money, that this
money was hard earned money worked for by members of the
congregation?
My major concern is why he wants to destroy the mission and
vision of Pope Francis, the most popular Pope since the
history of the Vatican. The true Man of God the world has
come to love. Which one we go talk, His reforms, His
Humility, His Simplicity, His Spirituality, His exemplary life
according to the teachings of Jesus Christ, why this German
Bishop want to pour sand san into the pope's "garri". I don't
know.
These days you will hear most Pentecostal pastors talk about
how God spoke to them, how they were called, how they have
amazing powers, bla bla bla, how they received the anointing.
How they can cast and bind, I tire for all these wash wash
pastors. Some of these men of very questionable background
and character are all over the place now. Telling all who cares
to listen how they drink Tea with the Almighty God. Some
families have already been put asunder because the pastor
somehow is 'remote controlling' wives looking for the fruit of
the womb, by testing the merchandise personally. kai!
They are the real Abrakadabra in God's name. Dem no send.
I don't know if I'm the only one confused, but I don't see the
difference between pastors and native doctors any more. If
you are still sane, maybe you can help me differentiate; the
craze for private jets; pastors/politicians, wearing of
expensive suits; pastors/conmen wearing million dollar wrist
watches; pastors/conmen, building expensive schools; pastors/
politicians, casting, binding and miracle explosion; pastors/
native doctors, embezzling public funds; the list is endless.
These days we don't know the difference between san sand
and garri. Odikwa risky. Are these pastors truly men of God
or business men capitalizing on people's frustrations? What is
their original calling sef, to compete in worldly riches or to
win souls like it is said?
How can you be living extravagantly when some church
members can't even afford a meal? That is the height of
wickedness. Enough of the deceit, enough of turning the bible
upside down to suit people's ears while they suffer in poverty.
We need spirituality not religiosity. Even with all these
churches at every junction and every bending corner, in every
brothel and hotel, morality is at an all-time low. The church
should be a place for spiritual nourishment and not a kalokalo
venture, or for prosperity preaching. Pastors should
concentrate more on how we should all be our brother's
keepers, rather than praying for us to be rich like them. God
does not operate like a Babalawo, neither is he a Nigerian. I
am wondering if me too won't open my own church (runs
away), but it will be different because I will never use Gods
name in vain. All these our so called Men of God should
come out and hustle like real men and stop using psychology
to deceive people and take their money. Haba!!! I guess that
is their hustle. Where is the humility that Christ talked about?
If anyone is not leading by the examples of Jesus just like the
pope, then his 'Man-of-god-izm' is very questionable. I
thought they said the meaning of Christianity was to be
Christ- like? I'm just wondering. Maybe I'm lost. Abeg, I rest
my case joor. Man of God my ebony ass, who dash dem? I
am even a better BOY of GOD than those MEN OF GOD.
Gbam!
