LETTER TO THE CHRUCH




 FROM:
THE YOUNGEST MEMBER     
 YOUR BABY BRANCH     
 NIGERIA

TO:
THE LORD SPIRITUAL
THE HEADQUARTERS
OF MINISTRIES
DEAR SPIRITUAL LEADER,

       THE SHEEP ARE SWIMMING
    Not as the rugged and dogged Apostle Paul nor as to the Church in Antioch, but as Paul, the least among you all,  *I write the Church in Nigeria.*
   Greeting to the light bearers, warriors of our Lord Jesus Christ who have lived for the sake of the gospel. I have seen and heard of your relentless work in the garden of our Master. The Nation newspaper comments so well of your uprightness and justice maintenance. I pray for you also. The branches gather and pray for you too, keeping your teachings dearly.
   Now, I learnt you have not anointed anyone of our members for leadership. I was told you claim Politics will stain the gospel. And now, the members are mourning the affliction of the wicked. Among these are the reasons why the members have backed out.

*1* They said Politics is carnal and cultic. To be fully involved and succeed, you must drink the blood of another man and eat the colanut of the ancestors. Now they don't want to be involved hence, they stay back till the persecutions see them all gone.
  SUGGESTIONS: Why not call for a gathering of Christlike and  request for Unity and joint prayer. Let them see one and anoint one. Don't we have priests who will guide the activities of political leaders anymore? Is the Kingdom now inferior to the power of cult?

*2* They also mentioned our doctrinal diversification which has called a disbelief among us. They said we now judge the anointed with earrings and make up. Is the house divided already?
SUGGESTION: Why not use the fruit of the spirit to judge and let God judge the rest. Even the wheat and the tare will in unity grow together till the day of harvest, how much more in the Christiandom. Please, your doctrinal differences which is nursing a lack of Concord is already backfiring. Call for elders meeting please.!!!!!!
*3* The members said they are financially poor. They said they don't even have equilateral for loans. They only Know God and not politically influential. Truly, God is enough for a man, but you can be like Paul, who was with his spiritual fruit in all their dealings. Won't it be good if you raise  Godly sons and daughters and they all lead this nation with God's directive? Won't the preaching spread well?
From your millions and billions, try and raise a political leader guided by your priestly instructions

*4* Finally, great messenger of the Gospel of Christ, they said politicians are labelled  "darkers." They claimed people hardly believe a true Christian can be a politician, HERESY!
Is this scriptural? Ah!!!!
Please preach against this evil concept. They said Nigeria will corrupt politician. Hmmmmmmm.
*I fear!!!!* The sheep are swimming in the ocean, this is not right, please bring them out.
The branches hope to see you soon. Daniel, the new convert is now a preacher of the gospel and your presence will help boost his faith the more.
   *A CALL TO THE SHEPHERD*
     
  *ADENIYI PAUL OLAKUNLE*

Well said Paul. But the truth is while church leaders have a role to encourage people, following the trends of the scriptures, you will note that societal leadership is also a call from as much as church leadership.

Hence, members who have been hiding need to receive boldness and courage to go and be change agents in the society. They have to come out and let the Pastor know what they need, and it is not just prayers, but much more.


A letter like this is good, but must be followed with proposals on practical steps for Pastors to take in the reforms, bearing in mind that their call is to transform the society from the pulpit and not from government house, nor political parties. There must be strategies, let's research on this.
