Am amused as a Christian when I read submissions from CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria). There are questions for our leaders in Christendom:
1. What efforts are they making to Christianize Nigeria? While the other religion is Islamizing with food, money and violence, Christians are belly aching asking for prayers without action.
2. There is the cry about Islamic banking based on the sharia. May I ask, is there anything stopping the establishment of an interest free Christian bank rooted in tenets of the Holy Bible. This will empower the teeming impoverished Christian around. Do you know that the coming together of the four top Pentecostal churches alone in our land can establish a mega bank. But no because the priorities are private jets, mega cathedrals and palatial domains.
3. From the wealth of the churches, is there any law preventing them from establishing industries or farms where the great number of unemployed youths in the church can work. Instead our youths are asked to go for deliverance from the demon of unemployment. When they do and if lucky, employment will come from organizations controlled by the religion the Church is complaining of.
4. For ages, the vast majority of Christians in Nigeria see politics as evil. The other religion sees this and took advantage of the situation. In the state and national assemblies, they dominate. In majority, they make laws for all of us to suit their purposes.
In a time like this, let CAN, PFN and other Christian groups stop the belly aching and formulate a new strategy. The Ephesus of Nigeria can only turn to Turkey if we continue to do the same thing the old way. We may pray on end, positive result will only come when we play our God given roles.
