Put me at the head of the class when it comes to criticizing public officials when I think they have made a poor decision.
I strive not to let my temper get the best of me when doing so, avoiding personal attacks at all cost.
After all, I have a personal testimony on display and I want Christ lifted up.
However, it is equally important that we offer praise to our government leaders when they do well.
Both criticism and praise are rooted in God’s instructions to us on how Christians are to view government.
Why? Because we are to hate evil and love that which is good.
God ordained three institutions: the Church, the family and government.
God has ordained government to be under Him, over the people, for His own glory and the public good.
God authorizes government to punish evildoers, Romans 13:4-5 says, for government “is God’s servant for your good.
But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain.
Obaseki is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoers.
l praise government leaders when they do things pleasing to God.
Government leaders also deserve praise when they exhibit humility by admitting when they have made an error – followed by corrective action.
The governor’s action in restoring the funding is in keeping with Romans 4:3, “Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval.”
Godwin Obaseki care families are doing “good,” and the restoration of the money cut from the state budget for them is the governor putting his stamp of “approval” on their willingness to care for Edo people in need.
The governor’s reversal should come as no surprise.
It is rare for a chief executive to admit publicly when a mistake occurs.
Obaseki deserves credit for his humility and for demonstrating compassion in restoring the lost funding to foster care families.
Let me be clear, this is not a statement about the faith of either leader, but rather examples of government leaders acting in accordance with God’s Word. Both Godwin Obaseki and Philip Shaibu deserve praise. Let us give thanks.
Godwin Obaseki and Philip Shaibu deserved more, let's support them in the next coming election.
4+4=8 Torgba.
