On highlight mission, we took time this week and addressed various illnesses inside our churches. The exposed nakedness of the people involved in running the affairs of church was worrisome and disappointing altogether. Once wrong heads graces the leadership of something whether in family or public body, everything goes berserk. And the story has not been different around these corridors. We found out that churches in Kenya are characterized with unfortunate evils that owe not to be mentioned and be associated with such places of worship in the first place.
Who knew in their widest thought patterns that one day we could hear of murder, rape and in fighting just to mention a few vicious social wrongs could happen in church? Problems that has mired our modern cathedrals revolves around ill placed means of self regulation, poor leadership, diminished and almost dwindled respect for the body of Christ, wrong caliber of church attendants and finally lack of relevant principles in founding churches is what will see our once trusted institution fall apart if we continue with this same trend. Relevant people have to act with speed and rescue their boat before it capsizes.
The shameful acts that have reared their ugly heads in our places of worship must be counteracted with corrective measures to protect the laws of God. No one can shelf off the importance and relevance of church in society but what we want done is to upgrade the standards and restore back the previous image that was characterized with moral authority and veracity.
We know what entails leadership and what is expected out of leaders. Sub standards and mediocrity in the name of sermons and leadership brass is what we totally refuse and demand for transparency, honesty and competence to reclaim the damaged trust that existed before. We need people to have what it takes to be allowed to pastor. Christianity is a sensitive issue and should be handled with care and deserved keenness. total overhaul of what we are currently seeing could come as a much welcomed reprieve if at all people mean what they say and fully under standard who God is and what He expects from those who identify with Him.
