Ordinarily, *Give It to God* won't be a bad advice.Would it?...In fact, it will be the best since our God knows and wields all the power...
Well, not in the African setting especially Ghana where I hail from. People have become *tired* of the other(mostly I stress mostly their fellow Christians) abusing *this best advice of 'Fa Ma Nyame'* to intentionally cheat, deceive, manipulate and finely take undue advantage.
Then, after everything, they or some other people will come to plead... _'ooh 3ny3 hwee, Fa ma Nyame'(ooh,you let it go,Give it to God )_
No wonder, *Duab)* _(properly known as Imprecation&commonly known as Curse)_ is so Common.That has become People's best devised strategy today.
However, in all these, I ask not overlooking your pain, hurt,sweat,the sacrifices & the naked unfairness....
...How has your resorting to *Duab)* or any other human ways cured the wickedness in this world?... The unfairness to you?...Has it stopped?..The truth is it keeps compounding.
Indeed, the ways of man are not of God as Proverbs tells us.
_Romans 12:19-Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”_
Beloved, at the end of the day, All it takes is to *GIVE IT ALL TO GOD!*
I think mostly, this rich biblical saying has been misinterpreted.
*Give it to God does not mean Be or stand at that same position to be cheated or manipulated. It means to be wise,prudent and allow God to guide your steps right.*
*Give it God does not mean continue to do hmm hmm& say Yes whiles naively hurting& grieving.*
*Give it to God means be firm& bold to say No whiles not being rude or going the extreme to lose that person in the faith.*
*Again, Give it to God does not mean continue to accept&allow those mediocrities & 'little wrongs as they say in order not to seen in a 'way.'*
*Give it to God means helping&defying all those negative human obstacles to correct& establish what is Right AS LED..I repeat AS LED BY THE SPIRIT.*(sure, you add more..😉😎)
Let's wrap it up with these scriptures:
Romans 12:17
_Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him;...for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good._
Romans 8:28
_And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose._
*SO I SAY:*
*THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO GIVE IT TO GOD.MAY THE GOOD GOD HELP US IN DOING THIS RIGHT....'FA MA NYAME!'*
