Apostle Suleiman Defamed?
The headline above has been put in the form of a question because the allegation of fornication against the internationally well-known apostle has not been proving beyond all reasonable doubt. There is a legal maxim that states: Audi aldermen partner (hear the other side).
We have not heard from the apostle so we should not jump to conclusion of quilt. It does not work that way.
The apostle has been performing unbelievable miracles according to the Bible. In 1 Corinthian 12:4 it is stated: “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same God who inspires them all in every one.” Apostle Suleman arguably has the gifts of healing and prophecy.
Without previous acquaintance he could call your name in a congregation, tell you part of your history and your problems. His solutions to people’s problems have been permanent so classifying him as a false prophet is naïve.
The regulation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour according to a Japanese proverb. Apostle Suleman has earned such a high reputation that people everywhere and of all religions would like to benefit from his services. There are many evangelist, bishops or archbishops who would like to perform the miracles that apostle Sulema is performing but cannot because they just don’t have the required gifts which cannot be acquired by worship.
Therefore the element of every cannot be ruled out.
There are sins of the flesh and other sins not of the flesh. Contrary to popular and wrong opinion, sins of the flesh like the sin of which the apostle is alleged to have committed is not deadly. There are sins which lead to death and others which do not according to the Bible. Among great men of God who have committed sins of the flesh is David who not only committed fornication but added murder to it. The story of Bathsheba in II Samuel is well known. Yet David came out to be a man after God’s hear who wrote most of the Psalms.
The fact which some of our holiness evangelists deny is that we have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God. They see themselves as exception to that statement. Some of them are proud, greedy and envied and yet think themselves as sinless because they have and been caught in fornication or adultery or drunkenness. They deceive themselves.
Let it be known that two of the most violent instincts in man are for food and sex. We only have to resist temptation through the power of the Holy Spirit.
]Correctional Service
The Media exists primarily to inform but also has the supplementary functions of EDUCATION and ENTERTAINMENT. In this regard I am focusing on the SLBC which has a pervasive influence over what people do and say. The Athenian status of Sierra Leone should be reverted to.
Let me reiterate that HAS BADE FAREWELL is not correct English as often broadcast by the S.L.B.C. The correct language is HAS BIDDEN. Another wrong use of language often used by S.L.B.C. is DEATH OF THE LATE. This really means death of the dead. Does that make sense? This is constructive criticism and the Director-General and other senior officials of the SLBC should be editing these broadcasts.
Police Promotions
It looks as though police promotions have got stuck somewhere, officials have been in their various positions like “The Morlai Sidom.” Who is blocking this traffic? There should be no political interference in this bureaucratic matter. Lonta
