Why Can't Christian Leaders Stage Protest Against Bad Govt Policies?

On the 28th of August 1963, a Baptist Church Pastor led 250,000 (largest crowd in the US capital ever) African Americans to the Lincoln Memorial, Washington to fight for the rights of the Black Man in America. Five years after, 6.01pm on the 4th of April, 1968, Pastor Martin Luther King was killed for having the audacity to challenge a 140 year status quo. He was killed but today America is a free society.

That is faith as exemplified by Christ. Where is the faith of our Bishops and Pastors. Christians should fast and pray today for the nation when we should put action to our faith? Are the pastors not aware that most Nigerians have been fasting for 9 years on less than a $1 a day? Our Christian leaders are proud to host the President and Governors at their convention rather than confront the system.

Can you imagine a rally in Abuja with Pastor Adeboye, Bishop Oyedepo, Sam Adeyemi in the front and their congregation behind them? GEJ will take to his heels, remove subsidy, get power sector working. We will effect a 40year change in 4 hours.

Acts of the Apostles is a compendium of actions and not fasting of the Apostles. We are the salt of the earth, salt must enter the hot stew and dissolve to sweeten the cooking. We are not fasting today, we need a march led by our Christian leaders. There is a price to freedom that the church alone can and must pay for our nation to move forward.
