They Got It Wrong By Playing The Script Of Vengeance While They Neglect Their Citizens, Especially The Less-Privileged.
Even though Nigerian elders and religious leaders, in conjunction with the rogue politicians, packaged the Integrity Buhari and holier Pastor Osibajo into the seat of governance with expensive lies, deception, and propaganda, due to the vulnerability of the citizens. Still, President Buhari and his Vice Yemi Osibajo never found it necessary to put water on the table of genuine poor people or less privileged, not to talk of giving them food to eat, except doling out the nation’s money to their party members and families with style, all in the name of fighting corruption that they are part of. What they are fighting is vengeance and their enemies, who may want to be obstacles to them in the future.
The scripture says, “Does not wisdom call, And understanding lift up her voice? On top of the heights beside the way, Where the paths meet, she takes her stand; Beside the gates, at the opening to the city, At the entrance of the doors, she cries out: “To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of men. “O naive ones, understand prudence; And, O fools, understand wisdom. Proverbs 8:1-5.
NIGERIANS, WISDOM IS CRYING OUT. ANSWER ITS CALL
Let us look at one example in the scripture: someone who did a very wrong thing, deserving severe punishment, but David decided not to punish him because of what people might say, not because God had shown him mercy and favor during his lifetime.
The following record shows, “Now you also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed; he also shed the blood of war in peace. And he put the blood of war on his belt about his waist and on his sandals on his feet. So act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray hair go down to Sheol in peace. But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for they assisted me when I fled from Absalom your brother. Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera the Benjamite, of Bahurim; now it was he who cursed me with a violent curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the Lord, saying, and ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’ Now, therefore, do not let him go unpunished, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you will bring his gray hair down to Sheol with blood.” 1 Kings 2:5-8.
David instructed Solomon to deal mercilessly with the person who wronged him, but Solomon’s heart for worship saved him from the destruction his father had planned for him.
VENGEANCE IS OF THE LORD, AND ONLY THE HEART OF GRATITUDE CAN SHIELD SOMEONE FROM TAKING VENGEANCE
2 Chronicles 1 has the following record: “Solomon went up there before the Lord to the bronze altar which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it. In that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” Solomon said to God, “You have dealt with my father David with great loving-kindness, and have made me king in his place. Now, O Lord God, Your promise to my father David is fulfilled, for You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth. Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this great people of Yours?”
BRETHREN, WHENEVER YOU MISS GOD’S LEADING, YOU WILL LOSE DIVINE DIRECTION
President Mohammed Buhari and his Pastor, Professor Vice President Yemi Osibajo’s case is basically like someone with fifty thousand naira with thirty-six children who got admission into various universities to care for.
Common sense should tell any sensitive person that such a person needs thirty-six thousand naira to situate all their children in their respective universities.
But, because of selfishness, lack of fear of God, and the unknown, Buhari continually travels around the globe, begging people for assistance so that he can pay his children’s school fees, which will only cost thirty-six thousand naira.
Buhari and his group of companies or advisers squandered a guaranteed fifty thousand naira on traveling around the globe pursuing non-existent, worthless projects and receiving fake promises from “allies.”
Their propaganda has led citizens to believe they are doing well or advancing. Along the way, he incurred thousands of naira in debt with his children at home, who went to no school other than selling sachet water on the roadside and scavenging food from their friends and neighbors.
WHAT TYPE OF FATHER WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE ABOVE?
LORD, HAVE MERCY?
