My natural stubbornness might the cause, and if it is, I appreciate that character in me. Somehow, I find it difficult to believe words of over glorified men of God who due to overzealousness turn personal opinion to message from God. It’s an indirect slavery orchestrated by deceitful words of men who believe they’re closer to God than you and I. Willingly, some has outsourced their thinking into the hands of these people, hence find it difficult for them to apply logic anytime their small gods talk. I’m so happy am not a patient of such abysmal clinic.
So many scientists on daily basis predict but that’s not done on mere assertions, rather they carefully and critically study indicators before coming out with any prediction (call it prophecy). Their reasons of going through much stress before publishing their propositions (when ordinarily they can announce such on anointed podiums) is because they understand the fear any careless prediction could cause.
If inanely or out of self developed, public serviced ego, an authority of a field publishes a pseudo intelligent research work, I’m certain people in related field (juniors or seniors) won’t hesitate to give a more witty review of his work. This is only possible because they found themselves fallible. Hey, this won’t result into arguments neither will it turn to enmity or hatred. It’s norms in environment where no one knows it all.
The reverse is the case in our spiritual world. Well some say we shouldn’t criticise our spiritual doctors, because; you don’t judge. On daily basis, same set of people will lampoon medical doctors for any carelessness, forgetting that the difference between a PASTOR, ALFA or BABALAWO and a MEDICAL DOCTOR is; one takes care of our spiritual lives while the other takes care of the medical lives. They call such behavior hypocrisy but who am I to label them what they’re; hypocrites.
Due to this obnoxiously gullible shielding of the so called spiritual fathers, most of them have seen us as toy they can play with, throw, break, smash and bury with no repercussion. Immunity is its nomenclature in the political clime.
Jan 1 2016, knowing fully well that the world was yet to recover from the trauma created by the sudden appearance of Ebola Virus, a spiritual father with no fact unwittingly pronounced the possibility of another Sexually Transmitted Disease, he packaged it perfectly and released it as a prophecy. Today is December 31, 2016, meaning we have less than a day to 2017 and am yet to hear of any new STD. Should I say he lied? Well, lying has a meaning, you can check and make the judgement within your plain mind. I have to be culturally obedient before my mum spanks me, but left to me, your baba lied.
Mind you, I have nothing against any spiritual father and his clans. All am saying is 2017 is around the corner, you’ve not failed in 2016, promote your self from land of cretins. Before you celebrate baseless predictions painted as prophecies, take some time, think, look at indicators, these things help a lot.
Happy New Year in advance and rather than arguing, wish me a Happy Birthday too. World is not war.
Lest I forget, you can read the uncalculated prediction that orchestrated this long essay in the link below:
