Pastors and Church leaders, we have another big problem caused by complacency. For those who have any training in theology and pastoral ministry, we have fallen victim of "monumentmeosis" (my own coined word), a disease that turns the energetic zeal for God into a monument. We hardly listen to what the Holy Spirit says in Galatians 5:16-26 about Walking in the Spirit.The Apostle Paul exhorts us saying:
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
There is no single Christian Leader who has preached a sermon against the murder of people like Yebei,. And I know this is a no go zone because we feel that our political leaders are being targeted here. The death of People caused by whoever is called murder. And the Apostle Paul admonishes us thus:
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,[a] fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders,[b] drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
What do we need to do now? Repent and wear sack clothes, weep over what we have done against our God. Otherwise the Lord's wrath shall fall upon our country and people while we the watchmen are sleeping on the job. Then we should go back learn from the Great teacher the Holy Spirit and say with King David in Psalm 143:10, Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
