A lot of controversies have arose from the unexpected report of the death of the long in captive Leah Sharibu. It is very heartbreaking and highly disheartening that the "poor" and innocent Leah had to die in the den of the wicked people.
Notwithstanding, one argument that has erupted especially from the Atheist Association of Nigeria (lol) is that of against the church, against the fact that the church could do nothing despite the prayers and all, furthering their argument by further attacking and rubbishing the contents of the Bible. When I saw that article and other write ups, I just laughed and one word came to my mind..."my people are perishing because they lack knowledge" the exact single expression to qualify the entire write ups.
The government might have failed in their supposed duty of rescuing the innocent young girl, but bringing in the argument of the fact that God failed the girl is not just a statement of lack of knowledge but a statement of ignorance.
God is not man, man is only created in the image of God. The government might have been declared a failure because it is constituted by men who are bound to fail because perfection is not of man.
God can do everything and anything but fail. The ways of the Lord is different and He does not think like an ordinary man. The Nigerian system might have bastardized the Church, Religion and Christianity but no matter how rotten the system might be, the ways of the lord remains the same and His standard is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Definitely a lot of you are expecting one super miracle that the girl will just disappear and show up all of a sudden, oh no! God is not an egoistic being who proves himself by a mere show off.
So when next you are arguing, do not on any circumstance bring in the argument of God being a failure because what you expected was not done.
To the family of the girl I send my condolences, and believe me, as much heartbreaking and sad as it can be, don't let this divert and distract you from God, because His ways are not ours.
Remember, there is reason for every action, we may all not understand it now but soon enough, the understanding of it will be revealed in a way no one will expect.
