'DON'T TELL PEOPLE TO VOTE THEIR CONSCIENCE' FR. GABRIEL

"When God help us, we must not put him to test again." Fr. Gabriel

A Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Gabriel had taken to his Facebook Page to congratulate himself on his 12th Priestly Anniversary and then, applying reasoning and faith to the forthcoming election in Nigeria, come February 2023.

Fr. Gabriel's Facebook post reads:

"I am 12 years a priest today. That day, the 8-years old me prayed “Father please let this key open this door now”. I put the key in there and it opened like a magic. I screamed and my elder sister came and was marveled that the door everyone had been trying to unlock for months was finally open. She asked how I did it, I told her I just prayed and did it. She told me to re-lock it and unlock it again. I locked it, and trying to unlock it again, the key broke inside. Then my sister laughed at me so mockingly and I was so ashamed.

Later in life I understood what happened: when God helps us, we must not put Him to test again, and we’ve to cooperate with the help. Like the football match story I told yesterday, I had said in my mind “God will do it again, the ball will not enter that net”. But they played it a second time and it entered. So we’ve to know when to take up from grace and pique up the race.

Likewise in this election saga, God has helped us already with a mixture of Peter Obi and Yusuf. It’s left for us to cooperate and fight for what we know is right. Don’t tell people to vote their conscience, some have a dead conscience. When God initiates a good thing in us, He expects us to bring it to completion with our efforts. This applies in every field of life. Can you now tell me “Happy 12th priestly anniversary” 😁. Bless you always.
