Paul wrote to the Church in Ephesus – Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: [3] Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.. (Ephesians 2:2-3h When could such a picture be more appropriate than in the 21st Century world in which we live in?
One week ago today, Pastor Agu Irukwu the senior pastor of Jesus House in London had garnered more than 54% of the votes in a competition to determine who was the Most Inspiration Black Person From 66 nominees put forward by the Mayor of London and Metro Newspaper, yet it took a week for the winner to be announced and then in such a surreptitious manner that unless you knew to look for him by name you wouldn’t even find the article announcing it.
Had Nelson Mandela won the competition, I suspect that British Airways would have flown him and his entourage from South Africa first class and that the Queen and David Cameron would have held a banquet in London in his honour. How the world loves their own and hates the ‘Children of Light’. Still our reward is in heaven.
