Nigerian Pastors & Christianity, Plunging The Nation Into Total Destruction? by eluquenson(m): 10:54pm On Aug 28, 2013
I always wonder how Nigerian pastors have turned
themselves into sacred cows or a demi-gods that
should not be touched all because of a part of the
Scripture that says 'touch not my anointed and do
my prophet no harm.'
I ask myself, does that mean that even if a pastor is
caught doing wrong, he should not be castigated
because he is a man of God? Then, who now is 'man
of Devil'?
The Europeans brought Christianity to us but we
have become masters of the religion more than the
original owners. Do you call that excellence? The
recent controversies surrounding two men of God
lately really baffled me and made get scared for their
tamed members, who still follow them blindly.
One thing pastors quickly work on their members is
the mind. Once they capture that, the rest is history.
It is like 'seek first the (gullible) mind of the people
and every other thing shall be added to it'. At that
point, they can twist the Bible to suit themselves and
made the members do their wishes. Or, how do you
imagine people still throng a church after its leader
beats members with the cane? How do you explain
the massive turn out to a church in Lagos after
human parts were allegedly found in the pastor's
premises shortly after he died?
In every corners of Lagos, you find churches, yet, we
are not better people than the destroyed people of
Sodom and Gomorrah in the Holy Book. I know of a
small street in Ilasa area of Lagos where there are 12
churches on it. It is only in Nigeria you have more
churches than shops and stores.
The problem of Nigeria is mainly our religious
leaders, which I will limit to Christian leaders because
that's my faith. Politicians confidently steal our
money because they know our pastors will fast and
pray for them and even beg God on their behalf
(politicians) to build a shield around them so that our
curses won't affect them.
They only come to the altar to castigate politicians
but praise them behind after hands must have
rubbed hands. Some who openly castigate them will
still go behind to get a chunk of the national cake.
People Deceiving Pastors?
One thing our pastors have failed to understand is
that they are not Elijah, Elisha and others of old, who
the 'touch not my anointed passage was made for.
These people, in their time, boldly told political
leaders to their faces the real truth. How many of our
pastors can boldly tell our politicians of today that
'thus says the Lord, ....' and they (politicians)
tremble?
With the way things are going religiously in Nigeria, I
doubt if we are not heading to destruction as a
nation. And if such happens, our pastors should be
held responsible for it. Pastors are stealing our
money with the help of politicians, pastors are having
carnal knowledge with both male and female
members and twisting their minds to hide under the
act. What a shame! Well, God is watching. I just hope
the people of Sodom and Gomorrah won't petition
God for destroying them and leaving Nigeria to
continue this way.
Pastors tell members to store their treasures in
heaven, while they (pastors) go about buying
expensive cars, houses and properties. Hmm, Fela
already said it some years ago.
I wish to write more, but will pause for now. I await
when the religious revolution will happen in Nigeria.
