Perhaps that is how it is in
other religions or societies, I don’t know but the situation has become so
common and perceptible in our society even among the so called Christians that
they don’t see anything awful about it – I mean the way people call God in
things that He is not involve at all, even when they’ve perpetrated their
nefarious acts, they still involve God as their testifier. They say “Olorun
Oba ngbo”, “I swear to God”, “To God who
made me” and all sorts of religious clichés to fiddle their partner.
If a guy wants to date a lady but
does not know how to go about it, the guy will come to the lady and tell her
that the spirit of God told me we should start dating. Just like that! Even
when they feel like quitting the relationship when they are tired of it, they
will say again the Lord said we should separate for now. If this is true,
nobody can say.
What about some pastors that
claim God is leading them when they themselves know that God has never spoken
anything to them. They turn 2 hours service into 4 - 5 hours in the name that
God is leading them, they call out members to donate unto God as if God runs a
Non Governmental Organisation.
After preaching in bus stops,
garages, and buses, they still beg the passengers and passers-by to give them
something in the name of God, Is God a beggar?
Because our politicians know that
an average electorate in the country is gullible, they also come to them in the
name of God as if God is the INEC Chairman. They say “in the name of God, if we
win this election we will build schools, hospital and all sorts”
Perhaps that was the reason our
First Lady was also shouting “There is
God ooo”, “There is God ooo”, “There is God ooo”, when she was addressing
women from Borno State, as if we don’t know that there is God.
I am not saying that we should
not be calling God when we need Him but we must call Him on right platform not
to be using His name to swindle people all around. Just as the Bible says that
let your “Yes be yes and No be No” you don’t need to call the name of God
before people can believe you because God is not a lie or a son of man that
should repent, He says what he means and means what He says.

If you want to date a girl that
you have an interest in, I don’t think
you need to call the name of God into the process of dating the lady and I
don’t also think that will make the lady to say yes, even if you want to break
up the relationship, don’t tell your partner that God tells you to break up the
relationship. Our God is not an author of confusion.
Please let’s just live God alone.
Thank you,
Seye Joseph
