Today someone mentioned and
implied that we really can’t speak against ‘corrupt officials’ in our
government system coz we are pretty much cut from the same cloth…perhaps we
survive on money that has been ‘misappropriated’ by our parents/guardians or we
are in our current schools/workplaces because we ‘know’ someone and not on our
own merit.
Here is my thought on the matter;
The man has a very valid point. I
was the number one anti-corruption campaigner (my slogan being it starts with
you) until the first time I bribed a traffic officer and cheated in a test. At
that moment (whichever of the two came first) I realised that I was fighting a
lost battle.
However, I have been redeemed
(PTL) and now I believe, once again, that the battle can be won.
So, here is my principle, ‘do as I
say, not as I do’!
It doesn’t matter that I have
been down to the gutter (or that I am still wallowing in sin), perhaps it gives
you more cause to pause and think that you know what, this dude might actually
know what he’s talking about seeing as he is in the thing!
So, if I am a thief and you don’t
listen to my warnings to not steal (claiming to the age old adage of following
in footsteps), just know that it won’t justify you…neither before an earthly
judge nor before the Heavenly Judge.
