Bainimarama, the demigod….who will you serve?

With the fast approaching, much anticipated Methodist Church Conference next week, blabbermouth Leweni's threats against the Methodist Church sounds shallow and lacks moral conviction.

How will the Methodist Church respond? Follow the directive of an illegal regime which is hostile towards it and in effect worship Bainimarama or follow its conscience. 

I use the term 'worship Bainimarama' cautiously because when soldiers justify following illegal orders or civil servants claiming to not seeing any problems executing inhuman policies of the illegal junta so they can put bread on their table, oblivious of the consequences to innocent victims, then you are in effect worshiping Bainimarama because he determines your actions.

In Fiji, we have an illegal government who first claimed it took over government to 'clean up' its endemic corruption, but after 2 years, no evidence of endemic corruption was ever proved, but within this time, Bainimarama and his cronies went on their merry ways and looted and plundered the tax payers of Fiji.

The Methodist Church must carefully consider their response to the illegal government because there will come a time and could possibly be now, when they can no longer compromise or risk being contaminated and corrupted. It has happened in church history and if they are not careful, it can happen to them again.

I call upon Qase Levu Rev Ame Tugaue, Vunivola Levu Rev. Tuikilakila Waqairatu and other Methodist Church Leaders to lead their Congregation in the way of righteousness, even if it means confronting this demigod Bainimarama and his evil regime.

  • Tui Savu.
  • President.
