SO YOU THINK YOU ARE NOT CORRUPT? Nigeria, my lovely Nigeria, my very own fatherland whose blood courses through my veins, blessed with abundance of minerals, unimaginable wealth and human resources. Nigeria my motherland, my very own birth land, Giant of Africa, giant of corruption, dwarf of transparency, midget of equity, equality and scrupulousness. A country plagued with, ethnocentrism, unfettered corruption and prebendalism; where government officials see public funds as perquisites and entitlements, siphoning gargantuan sums of money to feather the nest of they and their ilk. Yes Nigeria tops the chart of the five most corrupt countries on the face of the earth, yes our leaders are perfidious. However, while not trying to call bluff the obnoxious money laundering and racketeering of our leaders, I say enough of the crucifixion! It is time for a bitter introspection, to stop pointing accusatory fingers and scrutinize our very own souls and decipher where we’ve played a role in the many intricacies of this corruption quagmire. So here I have a question for you, yes you, you who are quick to hurl assaults and to make statements laden with contempt about the ever-thieving politicians, you who looks to extricate the toothpick in the leaders’ eyes, but is oblivious to the pole embedded in your eyes. Mr. Lecturer, you who whine about your withheld entitlements by the government but mandate the sales of your archaic, outdated handouts for exorbitant prices, with brazen threats in the event of failure of purchase by your students. So you think you’re not corrupt? Prof, you who go on ceaseless, intermittent strikes due to the corrupt government yet you have ladies willy-nilly sleep with you against their volition or they never pass your course. So you think you’re not corrupt? Oga manager, with the deft scrawl of a fountain pen you add zeros to the accounts and divert such fictitious funds to your coffers and fire those who do not cooperate in your machinations. So you think you’re not corrupt? Mr undergraduate guyman, you falsify the school fee and extort more than required from your dad to propagate your riotous living. You who ‘sort’ lecturers for grades. So you think you’re not corrupt? Beautiful slay queen, you collect sums for ‘DIC’ ‘TION’ and ‘ARY’ textbooks from your parents to advance your slaying quest. You who pawn your body for A’s and B’s. So you think you’re not corrupt? Mr business man ,you who order for importation of fake and substandard drugs for avaricious profits to the detriment of human life. So you think you’re not corrupt? Oga police, san sir! No automobile can get past you without furtively handing you crumpled ‘wazobia’. If not, you delay them indefinitely until they yield or better still, blow their fuse―a perfect alibi to detain and milk them of more money. You who won’t move as much as a muscle until you collect ‘roja’ money from a victim before inspecting a case. So you think you’re not corrupt? Fuel attendant, you fidget with the dispenser and fob customers off; you put the nozzle into the fuel receptacle to sell ‘air’, you pool a wool over customers’ eyes by the accurate data on the counter. So you think you’re not corrupt? Secondary school house captain, you conjure ten non-existent names and have the house master obliviously allot these names to dining tables; where you and your cohorts share ten ill-gotten extra plates of food. So you think you’re not corrupt? You didn’t find a question that pertains to you? Ask yourself where possibly you might be contributing your own insidious quota to the corruption spree. Is it true that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and that we are all chips off the old block? Could it be that the genes of my motherland have sown inextricably in me, that I can’t but step into the smelling shoes of my predecessors that have been trodden deep in putridity? Am I ineluctably bound to enact the same wanton disregard and flagrant flouting of the rule of law that I’ve witnessed for two decades and counting? Remember the words of Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology “if there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could be better changed in ourselves”, and now I say “if there is anything that we wish to change in our country Nigeria, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could be better changed in ourselves” everyone thinks of changing Nigeria but no one thinks of changing himself. We must be the change we want to see in our Great Nation. Only by doing this can we begin to attenuate this dire retrogression we’ve wind up in and redeem our country from this Dark Age. |
ERRONEOUS PRACTICES IN PRAYER. PART 2 Last week we had an in-depth study of the manner and mode of rightful prayer while pointing out the errors widely practiced by Christians today. Previous week's study was on cursing of enemies and vain repetition. This week, as we continue I urge the avid truth seeker, whilst going through this article, to rid him or herself from preconceived believe and meekly accept the word of GOD that is able to make one wise unto salvation. All citations written below will be taken from the Scripture. 3) Soaking with the blood of Jesus: it is not far-fetched today to hear a Christian while praying say the words “I soak my family with the blood of Jesus” or “I soak my car and the road with the blood of Jesus”. Now the question that begs is, Is the blood of Christ really meant for soaking or protection against hazards and assaults that may be? Can we find direct command or examples in the Scriptures as to the leveraging of soaking in the blood? Without further ado let’s turn to the Scriptures: the ultimate and final authority in all things pertaining the spiritual questions. Let us see what the blood of Jesus represents and its uses in the Scripture. The blood was used in purchasing the church, Acts 20:28 28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Jesus Christ in the book of Matthew 16:18 promised to build his church. This church He purchased with His blood―the blood was the asking price of the church and Jesus paid this price in full. This is one of the few significance of the blood. See 1 peter 1: 18-19 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: The blood was for remission and forgiveness of sins: Acts 20:27-28: 27 and he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. See 1 John 1:7-9: 1.7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 18 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 19 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. See also Hebrews 9: 12-14: 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament… And lastly, See Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace With the facts excerpted from the Scriptures one can unequivocally adduce that the blood of Jesus was never used as an armour of defense or for protection; providence is in the Name of Christ, not in the Blood. See John 14: 14-15 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. Also see Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Nowhere in the entire Scripture can one find the scriptural authority for drenching family, children, material possessions, etc in the blood of Jesus. If so, should one continue to erroneously utter such in prayer? TO BE CONTINUED… Have a blessed Sunday. |
MuttleyLaff:I appreciate the fact that you took out time to attach scriptures. However,I do think your observation is out of tangent and ambivalent. One time you're opposing the article, another time you're slightly defending it. My topic is centred on vain repetition and cursing of enemies during prayers and Spiritual warfare even. Does a Christian need a baying rendition and excessive repetition to oust spirits? |
AK6464:Should cursing 'spirits' be the right approach then? Please reply with irrefutable back-up from the scriptures. |
ERRONEOUS PRACTICES IN PRAYER Prayer is a form of communication between a man and his GOD; it’s a medium by which man beseeches GOD with entreaties and supplications. Prayer has been an inextricable part of man since time immemorial; carvings and antiques of the early man reveal sacrificial mode of worship, depicting invocations to diverse deities. In the bible, the Old Testament is replete with stories of men who prayed. Daniel, for example prayed a lot while in captivity, David who authored the book of psalms wrote a plethora of prayers. The New Testament Is not left out as one can see various examples of Jesus Christ and his apostles pray. However, as Christians today how do we pray? Do we pray in the manner of the early man or the Old Testament pattern? What should be our guideline when we pray? Do you know that just any form of prayer to GOD is wrong? Do you know that there is a specified manner of prayer that GOD would you have pray by? As Christians the bible should be our spiritual compass in procuring the right answer to our questions on prayer. It is rather appalling that many Christians today do not pray in the manner designated by GOD in the New Testament. Let us see how Jesus Christ taught his disciples to pray in the bible. In the book of Matthew 6:9. Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) After this manner therefore pray ye: OurFather which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Here we see Jesus teaching his disciples a particular pattern of prayer indicating the fact that we can’t entirely rule out pattern in prayer. However, the bone of contention and the reason why this article was written is to clarify the erroneous mode of prayer rampant among Christians today. Below are but a few of the common sinful errors made during prayer. 1) Cursing of enemies: This is an everyday occurrence in churches and Christian homes, where curses and invectives of all sorts are rained on enemies during prayers. Their prayers are at most times full of bilious words and spiritual assaults against adversaries. Enemies are commanded to die by fire, to run mad, go blind, lame or be maimed. Some even go as far as using a supposed spiritual cane to whip such enemies. The bible―the New Testament shows Jesus’ clear rebuttal on these practices. In the book of Matthew 5:44-45 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. Jesus denounced these acts widely practiced at that time and commanded his disciples not to do such, He further averred that, if GOD gives these enemies life and blesses them here on earth; beckoning on them to repent and acknowledge him, why then should Christians who proclaim Christ, rain curses on these enemies. The book of Luke chapter 6 verse 27&28 also shows this point vividly. Love Your Enemies “But I say to you who hear: Love your thosees, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. Should a christian in all good conscience after witnessing these words from Christ, continue to curse enemies during prayer? 2) Vain repetition: A practice excessively rampant in modern Christendom. In fact, speculations are that 8 in every 10 Christian indulge in such sinful, contravening act. The act of vain repetition where a Christian keeps repeating a phrase ad nauseam. For example, take the anecdote where a person asking GOD for a job, begins saying over and over ‘Lord give me a job, lord give a me job, lord give a me job’ for so long a duration. In the book of Matthew chapter 6 here see Jesus debunks the erroneous practice of vain repetition. He further buttressed that such egregious practice was fueled by the myopic cognitive nature of man; thinking that GOD is a mortal and must be yelled at to propel him to action. In verse 7ff of Matthew chapter 6, Jesus categorically said that ‘they think they will be heard because of their much speaking’. Do you shout the name of the ‘Holy Spirit’ or ‘Hallelujah’ ten times in prayer? Does your pastor tell you that the person with the loudest and longest ‘amen’ will get the most blessing? See what Isaiah said in Isaiah chapter 59:1-2 Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. GOD is not deaf neither is HE a mortal that needs to be shouted at. Come to think of it, assuming GOD was your literal, physical father and in the quest of requesting something of him you shout ‘daddy give me a job, daddy give me a job, daddy I say give me a job’. Ask yourself how ugly the outcome. Let alone a GOD who should be revered and feared. The book of John chapter 4 verse 24 says that: GOD is a Spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. GOD is not man that you should shout at HIM, instead ask him gently, respectfully and avoid repetitions, HE will acquiesce your request. See Matthew chapter 6 verse 8. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask HIM. Here Jesus admonished his disciples not to be like those who curse enemies and use vain repetitions. This goes for all Christians today. Do not pray erroneously. TO BE CONTINUED… Have a blessed Sunday. CC lalasticlala CC Ishylove CC Mynd44 |
