As we commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, I will like to use this opportunity to remind everybody that during his earthly days, our lord and saviour Jesus did many amazing miracles, he brought dead people like Lazarus back to life, he healed blind people, he healed ten lepers, he raised a widow’s son.
He fed five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish, he healed a paralyzed man and even when he died, he overcame death by the power of resurrection. However, there is one thing Jesus was unable to do- to heal a fool.
No account or quotation in the Bible says; “and when the son of man saw the fool, he stretched out his hands and shouted, hey fool, you are healed by the power of the Holy spirit”.
You see, fooling can only be healed by the fool themselves or people who are being fooled. If you live in a country where God has given you oil but foreigners are the ones who have the technology to discover and produce it and after drilling the oil they lift it to a neighboring country like Togo only to sell back to your country as an imported product, and your leaders over the years don’t care because they benefit from that trade, you are a citizen of a foolish country.
If you live in a country where God had given you oil in large quantities yet you don’t have fuel to power your national grid so the light goes off in your country capital and a whole region, and there are frequent power outages across the country, that is foolish country. Not even Jesus or a cathedral can heal it. The only way to heal such country is for the people to rise against the system.
Jesus died for sinners, not fools!!!
Stop celebrating Easter!!
