The 'Area Fada' has a
new message for people
using God's name
anyhow. Read his piece
below...
My guy, things are
falling apart and the
Center can no longer
hold. People just dey
craze anyhow and
dem go see anyhow.
Jungle don mature,
HA!!! I fit faint. When
I was a little boyin
the city of Peterkwa,
called Port-Harcourt,
I was taught NEVER
to use God’s name
in vain. Nowadays,
everybody just dey
call God name
anyhow dem like.
When Yahoo yahoo
boys dey pray for
good business, dem
go call Him name
before they obtain.
Armed robbers pray,
before they go for an
operation, dem go
hala Him name.
Some of our
governors are using
prayers to confuse
their people as they
plunder the land with
impunity. Bone face
Bragadoooo. Some
of them these days
claim they talk with
God, they claim they
are MEN of God,
they also use God’s
name to obtain big
time from their
congregation.
Several religious wars
have been fought in God’s
name, politicians loot and
run down the country in
God’s name, Kenyan
terrorist attackers paused
for prayers before they
continued their killings, all
they did was done in
God’s name, hideous
criminals operate, relying
on God’s name, great
crimes and atrocities are
committed, all in God’s
name. Chinekee God, are
you there?
Throughout history,
religion has been used as
an excuse or driving force
for some of the worst
atrocities unimaginable.
From prehistory to modern
history, religion is for
many people just an
excuse to kill some
people, obtain from some
people, lie to some
people, and cause all
‘kinda’ katakata, all in the
name of God. This is not
FAIR! Biko!
I was watching CNN the
other day and the news of
the Bishop of Limburg,
Franz-Peter Tebartz-van
Elst popularly called The
BLING Bishop, being
ordered to Rome to
answer to his choice of
mounting an extravagant
new residence complex
which blew out to at least
31 million euros ($42
million). Not too long the
German church had
suffered fallout from a
child sex scandal. Kai!
Madness!
I simply don’t understand
this, using church funds
to enrich ones’ self or
satisfy ones’ selfish
desire. $42 million, what
for? Did he forget that
people contributed this
money, that this money
was hard earned money
worked for by members of
the congregation?
My major concern is why
he wants to destroy the
mission and vision of
Pope Francis, the most
popular Pope since the
history of the Vatican. The
true Man of God the world
has come to love. Which
one we go talk, His
reforms, His Humility, His
Simplicity, His Spirituality,
His exemplary life
according to the
teachings of Jesus Christ,
why this German Bishop
want to pour sand san
into the pope’s “garri”. I
don't know.
These days you will hear
most Pentecostal pastors
talk about how God spoke
to them, how they were
called, how they have
amazing powers, bla bla
bla, how they received the
anointing. How they can
cast and bind, I tire for all
these wash wash pastors.
Some of these men of
very questionable
background and character
are all over the place now.
Telling all who cares to
listen how they drink Tea
with the Almighty God.
Some families have
already been put asunder
because the pastor
somehow is ‘remote
controlling’ wives looking
for the fruit of the womb,
by testing the
merchandise personally.
kai!
They are the real
Abrakadabra in God’s
name. Dem no send. I
don’t know if I’m the only
one confused, but I don’t
see the difference between
pastors and native
doctors any more. If you
are still sane, maybe you
can help me differentiate;
the craze for private jets;
pastors/politicians,
wearing of expensive
suits; pastors/conmen
wearing million dollar
wrist watches; pastors/
conmen, building
expensive schools;
pastors/politicians,
casting, binding and
miracle explosion;
pastors/native doctors,
embezzling public funds;
the list is endless. These
days we don't know the
difference between san
sand and garri. Odikwa
risky. Are these pastors
truly men of God or
business men capitalizing
on people’s frustrations?
What is their original
calling sef, to compete in
worldly riches or to win
souls like it is said?
How can you be living
extravagantly when some
church members can’t
even afford a meal? That
is the height of
wickedness. Enough of
the deceit, enough of
turning the bible upside
down to suit people’s
ears while they suffer in
poverty.
We need spirituality not
religiosity. Even with all
these churches at every
junction and every
bending corner, in every
brothel and hotel, morality
is at an all-time low. The
church should be a place
for spiritual nourishment
and not a kalokalo
venture, or for prosperity
preaching. Pastors should
concentrate more on how
we should all be our
brother’s keepers, rather
than praying for us to be
rich like them. God does
not operate like a
Babalawo, neither is he a
Nigerian.
I am wondering if me too
won’t open my own
church (runs away), but it
will be different because I
will never use Gods name
in vain . All these our so
called Men of God should
come out and hustle like
real men and stop using
psychology to deceive
people and take their
money. Haba!!! I guess
that is their hustle. Where
is the humility that Christ
talked about? If anyone is
not leading by the
examples of Jesus just
like the pope, then his
‘Man-of-god-izm’ is very
questionable. I thought
they said the meaning of
Christianity was to be
Christ- like? I’m just
wondering. Maybe I’m
lost.
Abeg, I rest my case joor.
Man of God my ebony
ass, who dash dem? I am
even a better BOY of GOD
than those MEN OF GOD.
