DO NIGERIAN AND WORLD DEMOCRACY STILL HAVE DESCENDANTS OF
SHIMEI?
OPPOSING VIEW ON FEMI ADESINA’S “PMB AND THE DESCENDANTS OF
SHIMEI” FOR THE GOOD HEALTH OF POLITICS AND DEMOCRACY IN NIGERIA.
The way Nigerians quote the scriptures if it is how we are practicing
it, Nigeria would have been a paradise.
It is a very big sin to misquote and misplace the Scriptures.
The scriptures are practices and precedents and must be used and placed in all
fours when in use, and not four pegs in round holes.
It is an abomination to use scripture to cover ones
nakedness.
King Saul and David was the only two kings anointed with a
horn of oil by God’s instruction others was by inheritance, before elective
politics came in.
King Saul had God’s anointing but chose to work in the ways
of Cain a murderer, but David chose after Seth the righteous one.
It was because of the righteousness of King David that he
inherited the kingship from king Saul. And it was because of Saul’s murderous
life that God curses of destruction was upon his family.
The Theocratic State of David can never be compared with any
other government before or after him till date, and so not even that of
President Mohamed Buhari.
In comparism, God chose David but the people chose their
leaders in Nigeria and the world at large.
David swore with Torah and to God almighty to represent Him
well his leadership position, world leaders swore with the Grund Norm
CONSTITUTION of the country, to lead and rule according to the provisions of
the said constitution.
The basic principle of such constitution is that the people
themselves made the constitution and so elected a leader according to the said
constitution who must lead and rule according to the said constitution. That is
why it is call the government of the people, by the people and for the people
known as Democracy, and not government of God by God and for God which is
Theocracy.
Democracy portend that when their leaders start to deviate
from the provisions of the constitution, they have started missing the mark and
the people’s mouth begins to wag, and when that happens, that is not the time
to call them descendants of Shimei, it is the time to correct the people by
proving that the leaders have not failed with evidences, with that the people
will continue to be good followers.
Since man rejected God’s ruler ship, God steps out and
allowed man to rule themselves. Man has since designed rules and regulations to
guide them in their daily living and ruler ship style. It be hove leaders to
lead well and the people to follow well or else both will tear and inflict
injuries on themselves.
The voice of the people they said is the voice of God, they
are still the electorate and power still reside with them, if they have started
criticizing a leader it is time the leaders call themselves to order and not to
hoard information and act as if the people are nothing and powerless and term
them the enemy of government.
Besides the government of this world has nothing to do with
God and His Words, because their systems is of this world and not of God whose
words they break every day, and so they must not resort to the said Holy Script
whose principles and precepts are quite different from their own.
It is only in Christendom that Holy Script is so miss used
and miss quoted, it is time to respect it or be judged by its miss use.
Politicians and their cronies should pick the constitution, read it and abide
strictly to its provisions and face the masses when they err and leave Bible
alone for the priests of God to use and interpret in His house.
David was not subjected to people’s judgment but to God, but
PMB must be subjected to the people’s and constitutional judgment at the end of
the day and when they judge they are not Shimei because their judgment is base
on what they see, hear or read from Media or Social Media.
It is disheartening that Metro London that gave some of us
shock about our leaders’ death went scot free and it is Nigerians who has
suffered this same miss feat before are the ones abused. Politicians must also
beware on how they abuse the people of God with lies, deceit and hardship,
while they cruise in squalor.
The future politicians has to make sure that a prosperous
leader must meets the condition precedent before submitting himself or herself
to leadership, on nationalistic, health, certificates, age and etc.
The only Scripture that meet democracy is seen in Judges
9:7-57, the story of Abimelech and his step brothers, to the effect that when
the people choose a wrong person, the wrong leader will kill the people and at
the end the people will kill the leader.
Wisdom is profitable, this call for caution on both parties.
