By Christmas Akpodiete
LAGOS JANUARY 4TH (URHOBOTODAY)-Same Preacher, giving conflicting messages from the pulpit. Did God actually speak to this Father Mbaka. Maybe he was expecting a big offering from the President. Since he got nothing lately, he decided to take it out on President Jonathan. Perhaps he has been bribed by the opposition. Let the Reverend Father tell us how he has used his church funds to ameliorate the lives of his congregation.
Unfortunately, people don’t know that “God is a spirit and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”…John 4:24.
Mathew 7;1 commanded us not to Judge, it read “Judge not”. Under what authority is Father Mbaka Judging President Jonathan. He has no capacity to do that.
“God is not an author of confusion”, Ist Corinthians 14:33. All these Pastors should desist from using their podium for politics. They should concern themselves with their clergy work. They should not stir disorder from the Church. God will not be happy with any preacher who stir disorder in a society.
A man with “double mouth” has no credibility.
In Ist Peter.2:22-24, refering to Jesus the Bible said ” he committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth”. Can this be said of Father Mbaka? Who once praised the President and now abused his administration? Today, we see deceit in his statements. As a christian, I will not allow myself to be preached to by such a man whose calling is now in doubt.
President Jonathan has been President for just a few years. He is not the cause of Nigeria’a problems. The issues he is tackling has been on ground and he has been working tirelessly to ensure the social,political and economic stability of Nigeria. Any preacher who said the President is not working is extremely economical with the truth. Results has been achieved and work is still in progress and lot more will be done even in this face of overwhelming distractions.
I conclude by reminding us of the scripture in Mathew 24:24 where the bible warned us of false Prophets who will deceive God chosen elects. I call on Nigerians not to allow themselves to be deceived by Father Mbaka.
Thank You, God bless you, God bless President Jonathan and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
