Charles Ayo Dada:
As the ongoing macabre spectacles that increasingly characterize the present degeneration of the human spirit unfold, pictures of unceasing horror continually bear witness to the lowest levels of decadence ever freely witnessed since the beginning of recorded history! Gory and grotesque in thought and execution, humans beings are openly mutilated, decapitated, tortured, raped, roasted, and burnt alive! Incomprehensibly monstrous abuses and murders are often captured on social media, showing human beings having their necks slashed until their heads are completely severed off their bodies, people being burnt alive in cages, and a whole range of practices that could only have emanated from spirits inhabiting the nether regions; and who have just no business inhabiting the earth! They don the physical body alright; but if we were for a moment permitted to see the forms they bear, we would recoil in shame for having allowed such degenerates creatures to incarnate amongst us…
These murderers can now be found everywhere in their millions and the greater number of them populate the darkened earth. They are not only to be found amongst the ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab, Hezbollah, and the many other terrorist organizations too numerous to mention; no! they can be found in your neighborhood; amongst respectably dressed citizens who never fail to attend a church or mosque service every week, and who prattle their prayers diligently. They can be found in the circle of Imams and amongst the clergy. They can be found in the circle of highly respected intellectuals, politicians, and even statesmen. They can be found amongst your circle of friends!
These assassins constitute a greater danger than the aforementioned groups and the effects of their actions causes a more lasting damage, which nonetheless, will exact a stiffer penalty! They are character assassins! Dangerous, envious, spiteful, hollow and empty, they are worse than the oft mentioned Pharisees. They serve the Darkness openly – and with a cunning that can easily be overlooked! They quibble falsehood, constantly breed disharmony, and just because they are lacking in shame, will stop at nothing to denigrate the personality of one who is genuinely striving. The dangers they constitute are far worse than those of the cold-blooded assassins who drop their victims; since the targets of the former become “living deads”! Most times, their victims are unable to defend themselves against the evils that are maliciously and insidiously spread; and this not only causes them to lose respect in their surroundings, but it actually limits their potentials and nips many a worthy cause in the bud.
Quite naturally, such people must be avoided at all costs! They will be used to counter the missions of Called Ones, Forerunners and Messiahs. Their lowly task is to sow hatred into the hearts of men and to truncate high fulfillments! These sets of characters are easily discernible and usually are not open to objective discourse. The effects of their actions lowers the aspirations of the gullible peoples, who needlessly become hostile and antagonistic to the high recognitions and new teachings – which have been lovingly prepared over millennia to set them free… They will murder the prophet before he ascends the pew, they will throw stones at the Messiah while not allowing him to speak… They will make livid the masses and ensure that the unknown is too dangerous to logically unravel… and that the new teachings are not examined! With great cunning, they unleash their tyranny and murder their victims!
That these slanderers spend their time quibbling about others to you is the surest proof that they will slander you some day too. Apart from the fact that this is an evil misdirecting of the power of the spoken word, the power centers that are born of such heinous crimes are the very ones fuelling the greater catastrophes/evils manifest in the world today! And character assassination is no different from physical murder. Indeed, it is even far worse!
This happened two thousand years ago! And till this very day, at about the approximate time of the year of the gruesome murder of a Son of The Light, there are still persons who bleed from their hands and feet, and who while experiencing horrific pain and hearing strange languages, are still struggling to set themselves free from former blunders… If only those persons who seasonally huddle around these suffering ones in awe are able to see into the root causes of these afflictions, they would jump on their knees and bow down in trepidation before the Divine Justice that governs the world!-
A really noble-minded character boldly confronts injustice and will openly seek clarity whenever he is confused. He will not seek to malign a cause that he does not understand, and neither will he contribute to the mass of pestilence by spreading rumours, slandering, or gossiping about others unnecessarily. Thus, when you find yourself thoughtlessly gossiping or maligning the character of a person that you have not met or personally experienced, know that the reciprocal effects of your careless or intentionally malicious gossip might just cost you your life! … in the same manner in which you have taken the life of another anyway! That is justice served! That envy breeds many an evil is no longer in dispute – and the one, who in any capacity lends himself to such currents, only serves the Darkness!
The Scriptures equally allude to this fact: “All that is dead shall be awakened during the Judgment!” That which a man harbors deeply within his soul must come to light! We can see this in the proliferation of evil on earth, and in the effects of man’s few good deeds; resultant effects of man’s collective volition. Everything that is astir within the human spirit must fully reveal itself in order to be judged! The “Naturally occurring Disasters” are the agents of that cleansing and will only exponentially increase in activity until the world is finally cleansed of all evil…
May we thus become exceedingly conscious of the effects of our activities in world happenings… May we ever be mindful of the quality of our thoughts, words and deeds – that we may become truly knowing; whereby, all our activities will one day serve to uplift the world … Amen
