I came online this evening to the news of a leaked sextape of pastor’s daughter which apparently went viral about 3 days ago and I have seen all sorts of comments from different individuals. Many are throwing stones at the girl, well quite typical of humans. Some others have gone as far as trying to paint christianity in a bad light. I see all. I feel like addressing the second category of people first. You do not use one person’s mistake to draw conclusions on a particular group nor to make decisions. Imagine that someone in your family made a mistake and people call all of you bad, begin to peddle all sorts of rumours against your household, I’m sure you wouldn’t enjoy that. Even if it’s a group of people, you still cannot generalize based on their actions.
You know, I find it laughable that the same set of people who are always quick to tell people not to judge them when their errors are pointed out are usually the first to judge and make nasty comments on other persons’ errors. The fact that there are increasingly more and more people asking for the video shows exactly what kind of heart we have, and how polluted some of us that are condemning the girl are. No offence, but how do you explain the fact that you are condemning an act, condemning the girl involved and you are interested in the contents of the video, some persons are even sharing it, yet we’re all throwing stones. The fact that you can actually watch the contents of the video probably shows that we consume this kind of contents regularly, things like this pique your interest. Yeah, some of us feel offended but it’s the truth. We’re judging someone else, let’s judge ourselves now. Don’t you think we should? Should we just judge pastor’s children? Are they not as human as we are? Can we go scot-free, boldly throw stones even when we’re guilty because we’re not pastor’s children? Do you think that is fair? Can we all be sincere with each other? Let’s look within us.
Different suggestions and advice from all corners are across the internet so I won’t bother with those. I want to humbly talk to our pastors, our clergymen. Hmmmmm. Our families are just as important as the church. The reason we keep having a repeat of things like this is the seeming neglect of the families by a lot of pastors. I keep hearing that pastors’ children are the worst, na them do pass and stuff like that and it’s high time our pastors begin to really train their children, hace Rome for them. That fact that you are a pastor makes your children exposed to different sorts of people and things. Some men of GOD think it’s just to shield them – from school to church and back to the house, restrict their social life; don’t let them go out if it’s not school or church, maybe they are not allowed to watch films at home but all of these are not enough. When you take them to church, you’re not with them throughout, that time they have to wait for you to finish your numerous counselings is enough for the devil to strike, in school they meet people too and since you’re not available to truly guide them, give them the real truth and exposure they need, teach them, those children would teach them in your stead, and in the situation you’ve put them, they’re already vulnerable, and gullible. Some leave the children with the domestic staff at home, and you don’t know what they give them to feed on in your absence, the things they teach them. So, you’re delivering others, and your home is crumbling. The result? Well, these kinds of things. The pastors and their wives need to give full attention to their children. Some things in church can be delegated, there are elders, leaders, workers in the church. How about you build your home? Please, men of GOD, your home is the most important, it’s your first ministry. Charity begins at home as they say, when I see cases like this, I wonder if we still remember.
