ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER. [ A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja.] Vol.28. 24-02-14. SANUSI’S DEBACLE VERSUS BODY LANGUAGE! Man is created in God’s image and likeness, in a tripartite form, that is, body soul and spirit. Man’s body is the earthly tabernacle which houses the others. At conversion, when a man decides to abandon all carnal activities like, sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery, (extensive indulgence in sex, alcohol and drug); idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, egotism, inordinate ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, etc., only his Spirit, which communicates with God, gets converted, not his Body! The body is not converted because it still has to deal with our senses of sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch by which it perceives things. The fall of Adam and Eve in Genesis Chapter 3, reminds one of the roles played by their senses when confronted by Satan, the crafty deceiver. Mrs. Eve Adam agreed that the forbidden fruit was good for food, pleasing to the eye and also desirable for gaining wisdom. She ate and convinced her husband who equally ate and thereby disobeyed God’s command in Gen. 2:15-17! The behaviour of the first couple was an attitude of speaking with the body language instead of the spirit’s and also portrayed the body as vulnerable. However, all children of God are enjoined to subdue their bodies and subject them to the authority of the Holy Spirit in order to overcome in the evil days of temptation.[Ephesians. 6:10-18]. It is written that the spiritual foundation of the Believer, should and must be, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the epitome of holiness and righteousness, which are the great attributes of the God Head. We must always present our bodies (temple of God), as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, because this attitude is our spiritual act of worship. Body language is always instigated through satanic or demonic whims and caprices, which are suggestions that are always contrary to God’s commandments and rational decisions! We must no longer conform with the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of our mind in other to fit into God’s perfect will. To the Romans of his time and by extension to us of this Dispensation of Grace, is the following Apostle Paul’s spiritual injunction addressed; “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s Temple, and that God‘s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy him; for God’ Temple is sacred and you are that Temple.”[1Corinthians.3:16; compare, with verses 10-15]. For the Church, members of the body of Christ, to be regarded as Temple of God, is both, a great honour and spiritual challenge, for the greater works, predicted by our Lord, Jesus Christ in the Gospel according to St. John.14:12. But in spite of the divine punishment to be visited on all who desecrate the Temple of God, the present generation of the descendants of Adam and Eve, like their progenitors, have become more insensitive, deaf and dumb to all godly entreaties! All social vices of the body language which are abominable, have become order of the day, because, practitioners are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity! The apostles of body language are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice; they are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents, they are senseless, faithless, heartless, and ruthless! Although, they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, yet, they not only continue to do these very things, but also approve of those who practice them with relish and impunity! Whistle and trumpet blowers in Nigeria will now blow at the risk to their lives, freedom or source of income, because the Commandant-General of the Body Language Association[BLA], has declared war on all activities of self-appointed ombudsmen/women and do-gooders in the polity! Once upon a time, there was a very patriotic Chairman of the Committee on Power, saddled with the onerous oversight duty of unravelling all the malpractices that bedevilled that sensitive and strategic sector of the economy whose overzealousness, nearly landed him in prison! As he and his committee busied themselves, making shocking discoveries of unexecuted contracts across Nigeria, running into billions of naira and dollars, members of the BLA had perfected a devious plan to discredit all unpalatable findings against the administration of the incumbent by accusing Mr. Chairman of having benefitted from several Power Project contracts in the past! He was promptly arrested and arraigned before the law courts with trumped up charges! That Power Project Report, like some others after it, have been destroyed and buried and the patriotic chairman, having had his integrity maligned, was eventually set free by a court of competent jurisdiction and had since been minding his own business! Another ombudsman and whistle-blower, in the person of the erstwhile Governor of the Central Bank, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has suffered suspension and may likely face prosecution for poke-nosing into the affairs of the BLA! Though in government and the chief custodian of the Federation Account, this fire-brand social critic, never stopped to expose all the financial malpractices that have bedevilled the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation[NNPC], and, but for him, $49.8 Billion US Dollars, would have been completely swallowed by BLA, and the impoverished masses continue to wallow in abject poverty! As at the time of printing this Newsletter, both of the hallowed chambers of the National Assembly [NASS], are probing all manners of financial impropriety against NNPC, as all parties have agreed that only $20Billion US Dollars, was actually unremitted or missing and from the Lower House came another startling revelation, that $700m US Dollars was being paid daily as KEROSINE SUBSIDY to ‘contractors’, in spite of the Presidential directives against payment of subsidy on Kerosine! Sanusi who has been suspended by Mr. President, has sworn to go to court, to challenge that action which is ‘ultra vires’ to the letters of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s[CBN’S] Act through which he was employed. Section 11(1)(d) and 11(1)(f), of the CBN Act, clearly spell out the limitations of Mr. President as follows: Section 11. Disqualification and cessation of appointment. A person shall not remain a Governor, Deputy Governor or Director of the Bank if he is- ( a) a member of any Federal or State legislative house; or (b) a Director, officer or employee of any bank licensed under the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act. (2) The Governor, Deputy Governor or Director shall cease to hold office in the Bank if he- (a) becomes of unsound mind or, owning to ill-health, is incapable of carrying out his duties; (b) is convicted of any criminal offence by a court of competent jurisdiction, except for traffic offences or contempt proceedings arising in connection with the execution or intended execution of any power or duty conferred under this Act or the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act; (c) is guilty of a serious misconduct in relation to his duties under this Act; (d) is disqualified or suspended from practising his profession in Nigeria by order of a competent authority made in respect of him personally; (e) becomes bankrupt; (f) is removed by the President: Provided that the removal of the Governor shall be supported by two-thirds majority of the Senate praying that he so be removed. We are not aware of any official communication of gross misconduct or dereliction of duty to Mallam Sanusi before the 20 February, 2014 sack letter, which listed financial infractions and acts of financial recklessness committed by the Central Bank, as reflected in the bank’s audited financial statements of 2012 by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, to include but not limited to the following; *Gross breaches of the Public Procurement Act, *Reckless use of funds in executing of about 63 intervention projects across Nigeria with over N163billion, Naira, without authorization and, *Questionable write-off of N40billion loans of a bank. In a ‘bloodless coup’, Sanusi, was eased out of office in absentia while on an official assignment in the Niger Republic, and was also disgraced by operatives of the State Security Service (SSS), who briefly detained but later released him having seized his passport. It must be put on record that Sanusi remains a key witness in the ongoing probes of NNPC by both Chambers of NASS and must be given the latitude to expose all financial mismanagement deeds of the organisation because we know that his own travail is an after- thought of government to muzzle the whistle blower! An African adage says that, a Witch cried at night and a child gave up the ghost in the morning; the assumption is that the former killed the latter! Sanusi stepped into the witness box and shouted to high heavens in respect of missing billions of government’s United States Dollars in NNPC’S custody and the big MAFIA ROD fell heavily to silence him as it has taken 14 months to discover that Sanusi also has some skeleton in his cupboard! The incumbent government’s opposition to the TRUTH should not discourage other whistle blowers, instead, they should be encouraged with the SANUSI’S DEBACLE and ’HALLA’, shout the more, at the roof top and all the market places of the world! The BLA Boss who was accused of a kind of thick skin that does not feel or see corruption, has hit back at his traducers that they are the ones in the GLASS HOUSE, and throwing stones! Has he shot himself in the foot or has he scored a point? As the Big Brother Africa inmates play out their tasks like ‘strange bed fellows’, we are certain that Nigerians will vote for the authentic candidate on LOVE DAY FEBRUARY 14,2014, in Jesus’ Christ’s mighty name! Amen If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, don’t miss this great opportunity as you pray this prayer: Lord Jesus; I confess that I am a sinner who needs to be saved through the grace of the New Testament of your Blood, shed on the Cross at Calvary; I renounces every sin in my life and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive me and write my name in the Book of Life. Amen. If you prayed this prayer, you have been admitted into the family of sons and daughters of God, who are born-again. Congratulations. Please look forward to more divine revelation in the next edition of Zion B-BC Newsletter as you share this with friends and remain blessed in the Lord.
