“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke)
This is a reflection of a biblical truth
Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.
James 4 : 7
It is beyond credibility that any thinking person, let alone politician, genuinely believes that Robert Mugabe has not lost any democratic mandate to ‘govern’ Zimbabwe. He and his ruling Zanu-PF party have manipulated this election in a thousand ways and have still lost!!
Is the world really going to watch as he saunters away with another term as, self-styled dictator?
The popular image of Christ is as ‘gentle Jesus, meek and mild’ – the Bible has a bit of a shock for you if this is your sole reference point for Jesus.
11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 19 : 11-16
This image of a tattooed warrior is a stark contrast to the bearded hippie we are often sold by the media. This is the Jesus we will face and give an account of how we lived and what we did.
Justice will be done, and seen to be done – the wait is sometimes frustrating but the one who underwrites the promise is faithful.
My plea to good men, faced with a difficult decision regarding the current situation in Zimbabwe is – DO SOMETHING! the one fighting with you loves justice and is exceedingly powerful.
