I am a young pastor living in the northern part of Nigeria.
Our village is a centre of bandits and unknown gunmen.
Last month my father was killed by bandits. His corpse is still in the mortuary! Although, the burial ceremony will be coming up next month.
we had our annual harvest Thanksgiving two days ago.
Now during the Thanksgiving ceremony, l received a lot of gifts ranging from foodstuffs, clothing materials, physical cash to mention but just a few. But two gifts surprised and terrified me. Someone brought a gun to me as a gift for me to defend myself against the bandits. Another person brought a coffin for me to bury my father with.
Sir, please; advise me on these strange gifts.
Thanks Sir, pastor Jacob Isah.
THE REPLY:
Thank you, pastor Isah for seeking our advice.
The two gifts are in order based on what is on ground before you. Attach no superstition to it.
Register the gun with the government and bury your late father with the coffin.
Yours sincerely, OTURUGBEKE.
