Be A Light. by oluade11: 10:13am On May 16, 2021
Happy Sunday and happy new week to everyone reading these small piece.

I am appealing to everyone who believe there is God especially the christians that you need to be a light wherever you find yourself.

The biggest challenge we have in this country is when people come up be it in politics, civil service or private sector. They begin to blend with the system rather than strive to make a difference.

I am appealing to everyone especially Nigerians and christians to be a light wherever you find yourself.

Strive to make a difference. You don't have to be the most brilliant, beautiful or richest.

Just purpose that wherever you find yourself, you will not steal, you will defend the helpless, you will not cheat, you will as much as possible say the truth.

If you are given a job as contractor, you will not just share the money and not do anything because nobody will question you. You have settled the power that be.

As civil servant, stop collecting money for doing your job. It is in Nigeria, you pay civil servant to collect national identity card, police station is like business center; everyone exploit you once they know you are in trouble.

The customs, lecturers, doctors, nurses, Pastors, gatemen, those at IDP's and so on.

Government workers employed in displaced camps to share supplies from government and other donation by individuals and organisations sleep with females in these camps to give them what is theirs. They even pack it home and also sell some.

Some civil servant even collect money and still sleep with the person before doing the job they are employed to do.

After doing all these, you still open mouth to condemn the President and governors.

Don't you fear God.

See where all our actions has brought the country.

We need to change. We need to start doing what we preach.

Teachers sleep with minors in their care, Pastors sleep with congregations and members wife, youth are ready to kill anybody including their parents who suffered to raise them.

Nothing is sacred again. Everything has been defiled and messed up.

We need to repent.

Everyone is guilty.

Everybody.

Parents and society see kids in secondary school and others who are not working buying cars and building houses and they celebrate them. Even the society give them chieftaincy title all for money.

Life has no value again.

Human part is on sale everywhere!! Human trafficking is all over. Kids and adults are being kidnapped and sold. Even parents defile and sell their kids.


The big question is how did we get here?

We got here when we shifted our eyes from God to money or Mammon.

Jesus said we cannot serve two masters. We cannot serve God and Mammon or money. The two are at different extreme.

God is love and light. God wants us to prosper in life but the right way. Remember, the blessings of the Lord makes rich and add no sorrow.

Money is good and like I said God wants His children to prosper.

But when you dump God and money becomes your object of worship. When you bow down to money rather than God; automatically, darkness takes over the land and the evil and beast in men is unleashed.

Have you forgotten that money is a good servant but a bad master.

Money is to be a servant to be sent on errands and to add values to life and society.

The bible says the love of money is the root of all evil. The bible says it is easier for the camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to make heaven.

God is not against prosperity but if you hear the story of what many did to be rich and to sustain the riches; you will tremble. Yet you envy these ones and pray to be like them.

The love of money is killing our society.

The parents, pastors, imam, president, governors, business men, students, civil servants and the list goes on.

We are all guilty.

Nigeria is bleeding.

Nigeria is dying.

Nigeria, a country that is supposed to be among the best three in the world. A country blessed with natural and brains is dying and we are all guilty.

We need to repent and retrace our steps back to where we missed it.

We need to go back to God and put money where it belongs which is under our feet.

Money is a good servant but a bad master.

Stop serving and worshipping money. Let money serve you and humanity.

Stop running after money; let money run after you.

It is not a must to be rich; build house or ride cars.

It is good but not a must.

If our leaders do the right thing; houses and cars are no big deal. Even students working can buy cars.

The church needs to repent.

You build school that is not affordable to anyone except those that steal, loots and very few that makes money through hardwork and dignity.

Who is supposed to practice free education if not the church.

We are after empires; we forget humanity.

We are after giving our biological children the best; we forget every child is your child.

Even your congregation call you daddy and mummy;but are you truly daddy and mummy to them. Do you love and care about them?

They bring to the church their love, heart and token they have and you used these to build empires abandoning these helpless ones God brought to you.

Do you know many calling you mummy and daddy did not eat before coming to church. It is not because they are fasting; they don't have a grain in the house. Yet, you are building empires worth billions in dollars.

Many in your church have no livelihood.

Many needs 50k, 100k, 500k to push their dream and ideas but no one cares.

Yet, you are building empires, buying porsh cars forgetting that Jesus took care of all His followers and there was no lack in the first church.

We need to repent and retrace our steps to God.

We need to shift our hearts, love and worship from money back to God.

If My people who are called by my name shall humble themselves, pray and turn away from their wicked ways; only then will God move.

We need to humble ourselves and admit we have missed it.

Everyone is guilty.

We need to decide to be light henceforth.

No more stealing, cheating, collection of bribes and tips for doing your job, no collection of money without doing the job, no more defrauding of others.

We must purpose to love all and be a blessing to all around us.

We must stop the get rich by all means syndrome. We must question sudden wealth and place value on lives.

We missed it because we have forgotten that the greatest resource we have is human being.

No wonder many countries without any resource but brains are excelling and Nigeria with almost all the natural resources are wallowing in poverty.

We need to develop a system that will develop every human born in this country and that migrate here.

Are you a Christian or not; that above applies to you.

We need to shift our focus from money to God.

We need to love God and not money.
We need to put God first.
We need to value lives.
We need to see every child as your child.
We need to be accountable.
We need to fear God.

Above all, we need to be light.
It starts from you and me.

Remember, no matter who you are and what you have; if you don't have Jesus, you have nothing.

Repent today and give your life to Jesus. Tomorrow may be too late.

May God bless our land and heal our nation.
The bulk lies on our table.

God bless you.

The system is really so messed up. What pains me is what I see a parish pastor of a popular church do daily in the office
