Letter To The Spiritual Fathers by Elnaloba: 10:01am On Mar 02, 2023
LETTER TO THE SPIRITUAL FATHERS

I was reading news yesterday and I was very angry in my spirit and some of the comments have been hearing are very derogatory comments about our spiritual Fathers (Pastors) concerning the just concluded general election and that was what prompted me to write this.

Who is a spiritual Father?

A spiritual father (Pastors) is someone who cares for us who imparts to us love, identity, spiritual covering, who prays for us and is concerned for our well being.

1Cor 4:15 says Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many Fathers, For in Christ Jesus I became your Father through the gospel.

I will like to talk to the spiritual fathers that are showing interest in one candidate, which should not be because they are in are revered position.

Even if they have a particular candidate that they support as a spiritual father (Pastor) and a shepherd who have many ships under his care they are not suppose to make it known to the public rather they are meant to go on their kneels and pray for the candidate.

As a Father let's take for example, a father that is showing favoritism among his children how do you think the child you are neglecting will feel and if at the end of the day the child you neglected now become successful how did you want to face that child or how will you feel.

As a spiritual father (Pastor) you are suppose to be still and watch what will unfold from afar. This is wisdom and it is profitable to direct.

Some of the spiritual fathers (Pastors) are even telling their spiritual children (members) to cast their vote for a particular candidate. They are the one dictating to their spiritual children (members) who to vote for, instead of them to just instruct their spiritual children (members) to cast their vote to whomever they thought is the best candidate who will rule the affairs of the country well and pilot this Nation into the terminal glory (Ebute ogo).

They are distracted because of politics as if they are politicians forgetting their roles and duties, they forget what the Bible called them that they are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him that called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

I see them as a shepherd but they don't behave like a good shepherd.

I'm just pained that most of them let their emotions to take the best part of them at the crucial time.

Giving the unbelievers and even the so called believers that are baby Christians the benefit of doubt to ask whether God is in the affair of our Nation. Does God answer prayer.

You God answers prayer and that's why it's good for you to know God for your self have personal intimate with him.

I even watched a spiritual father(Pastor) that was telling his spiritual children (members) that God showed him the accepted candidate will win and the rejected one will go to jail.

Making the unbelievers to say uncouth words against the church.

Who told them the candidate they are rejecting God cannot touch his heart and rule the Nation excellently well, when it is written in the book of Proverbs 21:1- that the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of waters: he turneth it withersoever he will.

The book of Daniel 2:21 also says that and he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth Kings, and setteth up Kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise and knowledge to them that know wisdom.

*Now that the rejected stone has become the corner Stone. Now that the rejected candidate has won the election. How did they feel?

These spiritual Fathers(Pastors) preach about God's love. They tell their spiritual children (members) they are Christ like.

In the Bible it is the character of the Christians that make people around to testify and they are chirst like and they called them Christian.

Act 11: 26 says "...for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. They were called Christian first at Antioch." They were called "Christians" because their speech and behavior were like Christ.

I want to ask these spiritual fathers(Pastors) one question.

*Can Jesus they claim they are preaching about, can he behave the way they did?

Mind you I'm not against any spiritual fathers (Pastors). I respect them and honour their anointing.
I'm just talking from my own view and how I think it should be.

May the anointing upon their head never run dry, may the Lord continue to increase them, may the not be an abandon vessel and I pray they will not be find wanting on the last day.

Peace

God Bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

All these your long epistle ... if truly God speaks to any spiritual fathers about who’s to deliver a nation I don’t think there’s any point to hide it. Before God could truly reveal it then it’s meant to be.. there’s no power that can contest his power. Abi are u trying to say God is an hypocrite?.. heaven and earth is under his domain and he’s every authority... except if all these spiritual fathers are not of God the creator of heaven and earth
