God First

It was interesting and very pleasing for me to read an article in The Times online newspaper (19 April 2012) the times in which President Zuma acknowledges God, the church and the role in plays in society.

Some profound words he said: "The country needs more prayer and blessings to succeed. One of the aspects we pride ourselves on is the fact that this organisation was founded in a church in Mangaung. Among those present were men of God. We always say we were blessed at birth in the history of the ANC." – J. Zuma

It’s all good and well that he credits God for where the ANC is today and the role that the church plays within our society; however this then leads me to question why our government is in such dire state?Why it is that corruption is still so rife? If men of God led our country would we as a country not be in a better position? Less crime, less poverty, less suffering?

With all due respect I believe that Zuma’s actions contradict his words. He promotes prayer and God but in the same breath he condones behaviour that is far from Godly. Members in cabinet get away with shameful deeds and he, himself is guilty of the unspeakable.

Every sinner has a past and every saint has a future, only God can judge, but do you think its fair for a man of his calibre to preach God and prayer? To me, it’s considered blasphemy
