#Are will still blaming the Church?

Got several messages, comments and the likes from people who still have this belief that the Church should cease from praying and "diversify" into providing roads, stable electricity, good health care, etc

Well, for starters, the Church of

Christ cannot be held responsible for the failure of Government to provide basic, very basic amenities. Those ruling NIGERIA, from the federal level to the LG level, were either voted in or imposed on us by other means possible to do these things.

Elected officials the world over, have a minimum standard vis-a-vis citizen's expectations.

Therefore, the church cannot be held responsible for government's ineptitude.

The church cannot and should not be held responsible for poor educational facilities, poor electricity, poor

roads, poor health care, poorly equipped Hospitals and dispensaries.

The church cannot and should not be held responsible for the state of insecurity.

Many are quick to say, "with all our prayers, wat has changed?" Well, will all our prayers, God has shown so much mercy to this

country. It is our prayers and the mercies of God still upholding us inspite of how unpalatable the situation is.

We are quick to say, there are countries the world over doing well, who are not as prayerful as we are, yes, countries like China, Singapore, etc. But, we forget to

point out,....they have people of vision, passion and foresight in power.. They have leaders with vision, leaders with an understanding of how to rule, leaders who understand what good governance is all about, leaders who don't get into politics for self aggrandizement and

enrichment, they have leaders who are selfless and people/development minded. They probably steal from the treasury, but, their is nothing compared to the level of stealing and corruption we see in Nigeria of today.

It's always the church to blame, not the mosques and certainly,

not the millions of shrines and deities in the land.

We will need to deliberate about being truthful and objective.

Today, the church provides the best health care with their own hospitals, some provide stable electricity for their community, good roads, good water supply etc.

Churches are run with the people in mind

If we have to lay blame, we know where to address it.

Blaming the Church for the state of our nation, is either ignorance or deliberate act of wickedness and subjectivity or even both.

We will continue to pray for our nation without

ceasing.

We will continue to do our bit till Christ comes. Shalom.

By the way, we have an online Prayer & Intercession, special one for that matter, tonight at 8pm. Live on Facebook.

God bless you as you join us.
