Frank Bainimarama may have declared war against God and may be beyond help!
Commodore Frank Bainimarama, Sir “….Your kingdom shall not continue”….I Samuel 13: 14b….if you continue to be fearful of those who may be your only hope…….
The Dictator must have amongst his advisors seasoned theologians who convincingly quantified the possibility of “inciteful issues are going to be discussed at the conference” of Methodist Church in Fiji and Rotuma.
This Dictator and the IG must be told that the very ethos of their political and so called legal existence is contrary to the every fundamental tenets of the Christian faith that turned us away from eating each other toward eating outside our species….opps…did not consider pro-IG theologians may be some Pentecostals churches, some Muslim theologians, Hindus, Buddhist and Military’s own cadre of padres.
Since when has this slayer of political democracy, destroyer of social cohesion and robber of economic independence and prosperity promoted himself as supreme spiritual mediator between the rest of us and deities we respectively esteems?
As for the Methodist Church, as believers of the infallible nature of the scriptures, could only stand back and pity those who willfully kicks against St Pauls “goads” in Acts 9:5.
The present President and General Secretary of the Methodist church in Fiji and Rotuma have the Godly mandate to shepherd the Methodist flock, not the two extreme former Presidents. Hence, why should this IG consider or be influenced at all by the purported “inciteful” preaching of the former Presidents.
No Army Intelligence or Police Special branch could fully assess the enormity and complex communication networking and unmovable allegiance with the Methodist Church and the Vanua. They may try, but futile until the cows come home.
Surely the Dictator won’t disband the “ curusiga” – weekly elder’s training and spiritual empowerment meeting, “bose vakarau” – pre-quarterly meetings on administrative and spiritual and “bose vula tolu”-quarterly meeting; a very intimate event where the spiritual oversights review the circuits performances. These are my personal experiences while a member of the Methodist Church in Fiji and Rotuma many moons ago, and believe are still the forums her members find fellowship and strength today.
We beg the Dictator to leave the “altar” to those consecrated for these offices. When will he ban the Roman Catholic Church parish business meetings, Pentecostals Charismatic Leaders conference, Muslim League, Sabba meetings, etc?
When will he wake up…for he may have declared war against God….for that, we can not pray God help him..for he may be beyond help.
