Shall We Clean the Candidate?

NBCC has been pushing the slogan “Clean election” but probably very few appreciate the effort. Please keep up with it if it is effective. Is it? Who is the culprit? It seems to many it is very likely the candidate. It is the candidate that seem to spoil the show every time. It is the candidate that brings in the liquor and the filthy lucre. Ministers caught with cash and booze were all over the newspapers in the last election and with many untold news equally sensational. NBCC don’t you get it ? What is it all about? About a ‘clean election’ or a clean candidate?. Isn’t it so hypocritical that right after the declaration of the results the MLAs trouped to the churches usually Baptist, for the blessings of the church? They won ? Right! But how? With all their conniving, debauchery, cheating, fistfights, fraud voting and every wicked way? Just to win? After their victory they are almost looked on as demi-gods. Is the church just to look the other way and just bless them? Are we partaking of their sins if we don’t correct them in their sins? In Apostle Paul’s day people were put out of the churches, out of fellowship for their wrongdoings. Will NBCC give the mandate? The mandate of politicians and those agreeing with them , taking a whole nation into sin by corruption, fornication, drunkenness and decadence? Most of the politicians belong to some Baptist church under NBCC. When members are struck off church register for obvious sins, why are there exceptions made for the politicians and bureaucrats ? Are you beholding evil as good and good as evil? “Isaiah_5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isn’t it common knowledge for big shots (politicians and bureaucrats) to have mistresses and travelling companions other than their own wives? Is it right if the big shots robbed the state continuously by swindling money and empting the coffer? Is the church quiet because some of the stolen money comes back to the churches as tithes and offerings and as a result we have these very beautiful churches? But the majority of our people suffering because of road conditions and no or hardly any salaries? And not being able to tell the truth? Why are so many people living in misery ? Is it because of the wickedness of the present rulers and NPGs? Will NBCC just be quiet and not dare to stir the pot to get rid of the debris? Who cares about the spiritual state of our nation? Who will stand up and raise their voice and care if people are going to die a second death in hell? It is crucial now to have the right leaders in power who are not just Christian in name but also in the spirit. So let’s call a spade a spade and clean our house. Let’s usher in the kingdom of God where there is righteousness and holiness. People will be much happier with righteous rulers at the helm. Lord help us, if we have removed Christ from our Christianity! Thank God, He WILL listen to those who cry out to a righteous God for justice mercy and thank God for those who WILL pray for Nagaland and thank God for those who WILL repent. There were times in history that wrongdoers and rulers were afraid of the prayers of the saints. To have clean election we need clean candidates!
