How can someone who calls himself a Man of God, who stands before thousands of people giving prophecies and claiming to speak on behalf of God, turn around and tell a President to keep information about his past or alleged criminal record hidden because revealing it could affect his chances of getting a second term?
Is this what the Gospel teaches us?
The Bible is very clear
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Exodus 20:16
And Proverbs 12:22 says
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD but they that deal truly are his delight.
A pastor should not be encouraging secrecy, deception or the suppression of information simply because the truth may be politically inconvenient. If there are legitimate questions about a public office holder’s past, those questions should be addressed honestly and transparently. The truth should not become negotiable because someone wants political power.
You cannot stand on a pulpit and preach righteousness to ordinary people, then turn around and advise a powerful person to conceal the truth for political advantage.
That is a serious contradiction.
If you truly call yourself a Man of God, then your loyalty should first be to God and His Word, not to a politician, a political party, money, influence or personal relationships.
Prophecy is not a licence to tell people what they want to hear. The Bible warns in Ephesians 4:25
“Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour.
And Jesus said in John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Nigeria does not need religious leaders who encourage leaders to hide uncomfortable truths. Nigeria needs pastors who will speak truth to power, defend righteousness, demand accountability and remind those in authority that God is greater than any political office.
A man of God should not be afraid of the truth.
If the truth is uncomfortable preach it.
If the truth is painful, speak it
If the truth affects a powerful person, still speak it.
Because at the end of the day, a pastor will not stand before God to explain how well he protected a politician. He will answer for whether he faithfully stood for truth and righteousness.
God is not a God of deception.
If you call yourself a Man of God, then let your words, your prophecies and your actions reflect the God you claim to represent.
