In light of this image that has emerged online, I have encountered numerous remarks ridiculing the individual in the photograph. Just last week, there was another account of him shedding tears in a courtroom. Countless online sketches have taken aim at Godwin Emefiele.
When you find yourself in a difficult situation, people tend to deride you. I have not come here to belittle Godwin Emefiele. Rather, I am here to discuss the unpredictable nature of life and the sincere devotion found within Christianity.
Witnessing Emefiele clutching a Bible is sufficient to evoke my sympathy, even considering the pain he has caused Nigerians through his ill-considered and heartless policies. Many Nigerians believed these actions were aimed at targeting his political opponents or advancing his own ambitions for the presidency.
For individuals like myself, those struggles are now in the past. It is important that we do not linger on what has already transpired. Let us move forward. As children of God, it is not our place to repay wrongdoing with wrongdoing.
THIS IS IMPORTRANT
Allow me to clarify: I am not suggesting that he should evade the consequences if he is found guilty of any wrongdoing. No, if he acted improperly, he should face the appropriate consequences in the law court. However, as he confronts the repercussions of his actions during his time in power, we should keep him in our prayers.
The act of holding the Bible signifies that he has turned to Jesus for support. If we truly understand the Jesus he has turned to, it is our duty to offer him our fraternal support. In this context, I implore all Nigerians who carry and believe in the Bible to adopt a fresh perspective towards Godwin Emefiele. He is one of us. He is facing challenges.
Please, let’s not condemn him. He can play a valuable role in ministry. Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a mistake, those of you who are guided by the Spirit should strive to restore that person gently. However, be cautious, as you too might be tempted. Share each other’s burdens, and in doing so, you will uphold the teachings of Christ. Galatians 6:1-2.
A MESSAGE FOR EMEFIELE
Life’s tribulations can indeed be formidable, yet for countless Christians, our faith serves as a wellspring of resilience and inner fortitude. Drawing upon the teachings of Jesus found within the Bible he holds, we find solace in the assurance of God’s presence amidst trials. Through reliance on prayer, Scripture, and the support of our faith community, we confront hardships with bravery and unwavering resolve, permitting our faith to be our pillar in challenging times.
A MESSAGE FOR THE CHURCH
When we encounter an established believer or someone new to faith in a time of distress, let us embody the principles of empathy and affection, extending a helping hand, offering emotional backing, and praying for them.
By forming these connections, we can assist Godwin Emefiele in evolving into a potent instrument in the hands of Jesus. I am not fixated on the past. I am resolutely moving forward!
Godwin Emefiele, I hold a deep regard for you.
