Hey hey hey!
The first quarter of the year is about to be done!!! Time flies yeah? I know this year hasnt exactly been awesome so far for some people but so what? Celebrate life!!!!
Lol
Some people are already thinking 'Here we go again' - the Nigerian mentality of 'E go better' and suffering while smiling. Well, as much as I'd like to tell you all that, I'd also like to add this - What role have you played to make things better?
Its easy to give your views on policies and politics from behind the scenes and on whatsapp. Its even sweeter to sit down and wait for that church brother to appoint you somewhere but what are you being proactive about???
This is a call to action - Christians should run for office. Christians should not support Christians because they are Christians. We need to be objective to make things work.
I was reading about Nehemiah (Specifically Neh 5:14 - 18 - quickly flip through) and i realised that Nehemiah was a governor that empathised with his people. He did not sit non chalantly and watch his people 'fix stuff'. He did not just give the orders and sit in the comfort of his office. He participated.
In summary, these are the lessons I want to share:
1) A plan is necessary to give one's followers a vision to run with. It helps you execute tasks better and also builds investors confidence in you.
2) Being a Christian does not mean antagonizing 'wordly' people in power with you. Nehemiah did not go out of his way to rub it in Samballat and Tobias' faces that he was making progress, they saw it themselves. Besides that, the king loved him so much that he noticed he was sad and was willing to help him to restore his happiness.
3) Nehemiah did NOT reject the perks of his office. He only resolved not to steal and cheat. This translates to 'Don't hate!' There are privileges that a governor has that you cant have. There are benefits a president receives that you cant. Its one of those things - Kindly deal with it.
4) Being in a position of authority does not make it mandatory to help 'your people' but be open to observe the situation around you especially when youre governing people.
In all, its dangerous to enter politics without Gods backing but some Christians today have stopped listening because its too scary, its a sin or they'd lack support.
I dont know what the point of this is but i just felt led to share,
Gods Girl.
