No PVC, No Holy Communion By Soibi Ransom by Dailymemoirs: 4:39pm On Jan 29, 2018 |
The 2019 elections are not far from us. INEC has already released the time table for Nigerians which shows that the Presidential election will hold on 16 February 2019, roughly one year to now. There has been a source of concern among Christians about the attitude of some others towards the election. Many Christians have had a habit of boycotting elections in the past simply because they have prayed to God to take control. During the 2015 elections a record number of Christians sat at home while the Northern Muslim community all came out in masses to ensure that their fellow wins the elections. Their attitude towards the elections was that of a people who were ready to seize power at all cost in contrast to the Christians who were merely avoiding a bloody bath on that day. Millions of Muslims even underaged children were armed with PVC’s while a lot of us in the South were busy holding prayer and fasting sessions. While it is key that we pray the Bible also warns us that Faith without works is dead. Yes we need God’s intervention in the choice of our leaders but we also need PVC’s for God’s choice to prevail for us as a nation because no leader can be democratically picked without the help of the PVC. I remember asking a friend if he has collected his PVC and he defiantly responded ” To do what”? What will my vote do? Imagine if there are a million of him who reason that way the implications on the outcome of the election. It was with thesame attitude that When our beloved Jonathan was contesting we all chickened at home while his opponents took control of the electoral process which had a part in his defeat. Many holier than thou Christians have rather gone into hiding or will I say prayer mode on voting days while the others religious bodies have set their plans in motion through the ballot box. It is most unfortunate that we are witnessing a hostile treatment towards the church in a time when Christians were warned clearly about the implications To continue reading follow link https://dailymemoirsnews./2018/01/29/no-pvc-no-holy-communion-by-soibi-ransom/

I really pray that my people rise up this time around. It's not just about voting but voting aright: with the right mind and eyes wide open. |
