Let us not only pray for peace and national cohesion, but let us discipline ourselves to making sure that we do the things make bring peace and national cohesion. The expectations of religious leaders is guide us by example to live a peaceful life. Guide us by your exemplary lives.. stop preaching politics in your pulpit.. we need God’s word.
How can prayer work in the midst of acute high level of hypocrisy within the so-called clergy?. Please God is not mocked. For you shall reap what you sow.
The so-called clergy in Sierra Leone is tinted with so much abnormalities and absolutely not of God. When the blind leads the blind both will surely fall into the ditch.
You are putting the cart before the horse. Starting point should be sincere repentance for all those participating in corruption, and receipt of secret brown envelopes as bribes in order to turn a blind eyes to the principles of human abuses, injustice, lawlessness, innocent killings of innocent Sierra Leoneans civilians & military.
You just ideal and fooling yourselves, not God. So what are you people praying for?. Is it cohesion wow.?. You are all jokers.
These so-called clergy is nothing but a bunch of outdated regional tribalist. Stop fooling your gullible supporters
