"My Grouse With President Goodluck Jonathan By Pastor Bernard Jemilohun. by command01(f): 11:53pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
I have said it before on this platform that nobody should tell me to "be praying for Nigeria" . At my age, I should know what to do. I have been a Christian in the last 29 years of my life and if a twenty-nine year old man does not know what to do, then he is a sorry case. I am very sure I know what to do. When a nation veers off the path of responsible governance and leaders deliberately subvert the interest of the people only to enrich and empower a corrupt few, it is the job of the prophets and pastors to raise an alarm and decry unrighteousness. The preacher must not only do right by his own life, he must point out wrong and demand that others change to the right. Elijah did not just pray for Israel. He contended with the prophets of Baal and openly accused Ahab of being the troubler of Israel. He did not spare the king. He told him point blank that he was responsible for the nation's woes. I am sure many today would want him to "just pray". Yet we desire the operations of the God of Elijah in our lives. I do not hate President Goodluck Jonathan. I am just tired of his style of governance and I desire he allows me exercise my right to vote for a government of my choice on the days fixed for the election. The INEC should be allowed to do its duty without undue interference from the ruling party. I desire a # Change and I have a date with destiny. *I cannot stand a leader who does not see anything wrong with the cancer of corruption that has eaten too deep into the life of the nation. *I cannot stand a leader who sees nothing wrong in the kidnap of young girls and goes on campaign as if nothing happened. *I cannot stand a leader who openly jumps from church to church during election time all in an attempt to use religion to divide us. His religious life should be his private business. *I cannot stand a leader under whose watch virtually all key sectors of the nation's life have collapsed yet sees no need to bring those sectors to life. *I cannot stand a leader who knows the terrorists among us yet does nothing to bring them to justice. Definitely everybody cannot agree with my viewpoint, just as I do not agree with everybody's viewpoints. But please do not attempt to teach me any stupid theology either on my wall or via inbox. I am sad with the way things are in Nigeria and while I do not see any politician as the messiah, I am of the opinion that the present national leadership has failed and thus should be replaced. If all you want is prayer, by all means continue. But just be honest enough to remind yourself that the Bible says clearly that "faith without works is dead". May that day not come when our children will ask us, "what effort did you make to ensure that things did not go this bad?" I keep wondering where some people left their brains. God forbid that "Sometime in April" or "Hotel Rwanda" should happen in Nigeria. Those of us who are passive and who feel we should do nothing will know that the man on the fence is in the most dangerous position yet ignorantly thinking he is secure. I will not keep silent! 5 Likes |

Okay... This seems more like an ecumenically sound 'man of God'. |

God bless you Pastor Bernard. We need more people like you in our nation. The religious institution has been deeply compromised in Nigeria. Only few pastors are real men of God in our country. Others are for highest bidders. If Jonathan thinks Buhari is not qualified, then he should let the voters decide. |

Please go spread your "Gospel" in Borno, tell Boko Haram that you are as anti-Jonathan as they are I am sure that they will reward you. With your head separated from your body while chanting alahu akbar. |
