IMPERFECT HUMAN WITH IMPERFECT FAITH
Faith as proclaimed by most people is an insult to human intelligence. Human faith, like human beings, has it's limitations. There are so many issues that need urgent attention yet all the faith in the world presently seem powerless before them. Our Chibok girls, militancy crimes, eradication of diseases (ebola, polio, HIV etc), global inequalities and hunger, and many more, will benefit from a proper use of faith from any body - not limited to Christians. So we can conclude that there are no perfectly faithful people on earth. At least as at this present stage in human development.

SOME HONESTY PLEASE
Maybe we should be more truthful about our assertions. Faith works, but there are limits to what it can actually do. No one can physically go to Heaven and come back regardless of his/her faith. We haven't seen mansions that just appeared without being built. Established laws still apply in the realisation of prayers (otherwise super faith can shorten human pregnancy to days or minutes and so on).

ACCEPT THE OBVIOUS
So go easy on trying to make yourself/ people feel they haven't done enough to attract God's presence. Man is imperfect, simple. He keeps working toward perfection. He may eventually attain perfection in a thousand/million/ billion years of existence. Maybe then he can actually physically move mountains. But for now, we are imperfect. That's how God made us. And we will never stop striving for perfection.

LOVE IS ALL
So enough of this guilt-trips on faith this, faith that. Jesus was more interested in the Love shown to our neighbours. Remember the only commandment He left us with - to love God with our all and to Love our neighbours as ourselves. Remember also 1Corinthians 13: 13: "There remain then, FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, THESE THREE; BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE".

By the way, big ups to Bill and Melinda Gates foundation for what they do in trying to eradicate polio in the world. They are investing in a new synthetic drug research expected to be more potent. Bill and Melinda may not be religious ( not that I know) but what they do typifies the Christianity Jesus preached about.

We should be proud of the outpouring of love and charity from Nigerians for confirmed health and social needs.

Africans should reconsider faith and embrace the pursuit of knowledge - science.
