BAD LEADERSHIP: OUR CREATION!
VOLUME 2
It is so amazing when I watch people arguing and making presentations in favour or against, debating; trying to shut down the other person so that our points will scale through. Sometimes these arguments almost ends up in fights; why? Because that is what we are good at, and known for; not for the fighting though, but for talking, counter talking, arguing and counter arguing, no action to correct the wrong, and set things on the right path.
Our community is in this state, because we all collaborated with those in-charge due to our own greed for now! without putting the future into utmost consideration. All we think of, is-
‘What can I or we, get from the current situation’ as if that solves everything. We fail to realise that whatever we do, now or which side of the divide we decide to pitch our tent; will either hunt or favour us in future. These things have a way of getting back at us. Is it not better for our generation unborn to smile down on us for putting the right things in place, than for them to raise curses for creating a banana republic? An American will always talk good of its past generation for laying down the right foundation, which they are all reaping from, and being the envy of other nations.
Bad leadership in Africa, is a phenomenum, common to both a democratic setting or military regime. The truth is that we aided them into power, and allowed them to strive due to our own greed without putting the general wellbeing into consideration. On regular basis, these corrupt and ego-centric politicians entice and buy over support with peanuts. Once they are elected, their first priority is to recoup with interest, all monetary gifts. This is the reason, even in the event of bad leadership and open looting; you will still see those that are ever ready to defend the cause of these self-centred, manipulative and corrupt officials.
The very corrupt elite in power are becoming more daring; openly and massively looting the treasury without blinking an eyelid. We are in an era of ‘grab as much as you can carry’, at every given opportunity. In the past, the volume of looting wasn’t these much and corrupt activities were masked under contracts and projects. These days, they do it with so much audacity; even those assigned as watch dogs are not left behind, in the rat race. I strongly hope we are not creating, by our action or in-action, a banana republic.
We can change these narratives, if we decide to, the power and will to do that is not far-fetched. In reality if we don’t decide to do the needful it will remain a permanent feature in our history thereby enriching the very few and impoverish the majority. Our refusal to change the narratives will continue to deny justice to the just. The time is now to rewrite the wrongs of those that have gone ahead of us on a faulty footing. We must take the bull by the horn to ensure we lay a better foot print for those coming behind us.
How can we the majority, with the numbers as our strength, allow a few run down our community, nation and continent? We must make use of our numerical advantage, and insist on a new order. A new order that will usher in justice for all, equality before all men, availability of all needed social amenities; just to mention a few.
These are three quick action points to kick start the new order but they are not exclusive:
 Resist all military juntas, massively.
 During elections, align yourselves with the ‘real’ reformers and progressives.
 Speak out, resist oppression.
These steps if aggressively pursued will definitely change the current narratives and set a new order.

THE CHURCH PHARISEES

THE CHURCH PHARISEES
“Hello! How dare you come before me to say that God spoke to you . . . . when did you join the church?”
The quote above, speaks volume of a church pharisee. They believe strongly in upholding the church tradition.
The church pharisee are a sect of religious individuals as members, elders or leaders who hold tenaciously to certain doctrinal values in the church. They believe in doing certain things in the old traditional ways.
An elder, as a church pharisee, will never yield to spiritual directive as long as that directive comes from a member assumed to be beneath them in the spiritual hierarchy. A church pharisee believes strongly in ‘spiritual hierarchy’. I want to state this clearly, that, there is nothing like spiritual hierarchy but spiritual ranking.
Spiritual hierarchy arranges man like a pyramid, one above the other while in spiritual ranking all men are equal spiritually but some are gifted more in specific areas of spirituality than others. Furthermore, in spiritual ranking, no one is more important than the other because we all still need each other in the Body of Christ . this is more like a symbiotic relationship.
To further understand the church pharisee, lets look at some scriptures: Matt 23:2; Ezra 7: 6/25; Neh. 8:4 and Jude 1:9
Matt 23:2 (KLV)
“Saying, the scribes and the pharisee sit in Moses seat”
Joel 1:9 (KJV)
“Ye, Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation but said , The Lord rebuke thee”
The Epistle of Jude 1:9 further explains Matt. 23:2. There was an attempt by the devil to institutionalize Moses. If he has succeeded, the children of Israel would have abandon GOD and worship Moses, occupying the seat of Moses and being a scribe of the law of Moses simply means there is that strong hold on the old doctrine and traditions of the church, These ones find it difficult to understand the new move of the Holy Spirit.
Moreover, whenever the Lord speaks about another reformative move they would be unable to perceive or hear the voice of the Lord. Their inability to hear from GOD makes them to oppose or doubt the move of GOD. This is also as a result of an unveiled or uncircumcised heart.
Church pharisees believe that they can predict the way or ways GOD will move and therefor anything contrary they will disbelieve and oppose such move. They have defined the ways of GOD. These leaders would remain seated in Moses seat (An unshaken traditional doctrines) as long as their heart remain veiled.
They champion church politics and are always in the forefront to decide the fate of “erring” faithful’s in the church. They are so verse in the things of GOD and claim to din regularly with Him. If an elect of GOD is not careful, they can easily reassign another ministry to him or her totally different from the one originally apportioned by GOD. Church pharisees act contrary when out of reach.
I will conclude for now by saying that church pharisees are extremely, deeply and dangerously religious to the core.
