When a land transgresses it has many rulers; but with men of
understanding and knowledge its stability will long continue. [Proverbs
28:2 (RSV)]
I was just thinking about my
beloved country when I ‘stumbled’ into this verse during my daily word intake.
I started asking myself some questions. Will you think with me?
Is this the reason we have two
governments in one, two centres of power, two principals and two of almost
anything else government?
Is it the reason in the new
constitution we have 47 separate governments and one central one?
Is it the reason we have
activists holding some of our highest positions for no other reason than having
long careers in activism?
Is it the reason we are treating
stable family life as unnecessary, probably irrelevant, as a qualification to a
position that could decide the fate of many marriages?
Is it the reason even pastors are
scared to preach against sin for fear of scaring off ‘offerings’?
Is it the reason discipleship is
being talked more of like an ideal instead the commission Christ made it?
Continue to think with me
Is the need for many leaders
caused by the unreliability of the leaders as individuals?
Could it be that one can’t trust
others because he can’t even trust himself?
Then I came across another verse
When the righteous are in authority, the
people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan. [Proverbs 29:2
(RSV)]
Is it the
reason people are groaning from hunger to insecurity to unemployment?
Is there
anything we can do? Does God expect anything from us in handling the situation?
What can we do
to make God’s kingdom and His will operate in our nation?
Who is ready to
stand and be counted for God’s agenda to be operational in this land we all so
love?
Just
thinking!!!!!
