Letter To My Pastor: Why Do You Have A Bodyguard?

Hallelujah!!! Peace be unto you pastor. This is Collins, the backsliding folk once again. I received your message on why I should return to church, but I want to ask, do you trust and believe in the God you serve?

You are being guarded day and night by macho men. One can hardly approach you at church without being manhandled by these well-muscled men.

Matthew 10:28 says: “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

Is there anyone on earth that can kill your soul aside God? Of what use are those bodyguards if they cannot stop God from killing your soul?

I wonder what you are scared of and is forcing you to parade all these gun-wielding machomen around you even during church service.

When Jacob was told that his son, Joseph was alive in Egypt, he went with his family. And the Lord spoke to him in a vision at night and said: “I am God, the God of your father, fear not to go down into Egypt, I will go with u” – Genesis 46:3. He believed in God and never went with a bodyguard aside God.

With all due respect, where is your God, pastor? Or you don’t want to walk with him, but mere human bodyguards?

Why must you have bodyguards to protect you against thy enemies when your God says he will fight for you at Deuteronomy 3:22? In case you may have forgotten that portion of the scriptures, kindly pick your Holy book and confirm what it says: “Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you.” (Bible Gateway edition) You don’t believe He could?

The Supreme Being has even gone a step further at Deuteronomy 31:8 to confirm that “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged”
