Decision Sunday Poem by Njousi Abang

Statistics show that Christians
Have fought more wars than others
Christians have harmed more Christians
Than all the others pitted against Christians
What then is the magic wand that drives them on?
Intolerance and the lack of the spirit of forgiveness
Greed and the inability of Christians to love
One another as Christ loved his church
And as we love ourselves
And live together as the early church
The loss of Christian values
Complacence and stagnation
Overrules Christianity

In order to make a difference
The Decision Time then is now
This very Sunday, this very fateful day
Don't walk home after Sunday Service
Without taking the decision to change
Let each Christian reflect on the misery around
And take a decision to leave his/her gifts
At the altar and go and reconcile
With his/her neighbour so that peace may reign

Christians should stop corruption now
And this country will be rescued
From the shackles of damnation

Just take a personal decision
And avoid the structures of sin
And all will be well with all
