Politics is all about the "Blame Game"
In politics I presume there is no such thing like “Love thy neighbour as thyself” but “Love thy voters to win thy election”.
However, in philanthropic/holistic mission, it is appropriate for you to apply “Love thy neighbour as thyself”.
But Politics is no charitable platform; it’s all about power, portfolio, command-control and divide, authority, policing, self-interest, party interest and capitalist interest (do come first).
Any party who took over the government still has to tax the peoples (tax payer money) to run their ministration and channel the money (budget) for relevant state/national development plan(s).
How fair these politicians are, only God knows. We can only predict and/or make certain assumption that they will honor their “election fiesta promises”.
But how many “party manifestos” are truly implemented after each election, we all have seen it; whether it is in Pro-Opposition areas/states and/or Pro-Government areas/states.
What? Are you sure? Politics is all about “Blame Game”.
So, how do we respond to an event of this magnitude? Politicians blame other politicians. Poor people blame the rich. Some people want the government to put a band-aid on everything and make it all better.
All of that is a waste of time. It doesn’t solve anything. And, it doesn’t help or change your personal circumstances.
I’m sure we could all look back on our past and remember incidents in our lives where we were injured or treated unfairly.
Trying to figure out who is to blame will solve nothing. Being upset and angry is a waste of your precious time and energy.
Allowing yourself to become full of fear will not help you to get to a personal solution.
What to do next??

What to do next??
- First, stop and take breath. You are still breathing – You are indeed alive!
- You’re the main problem – You’re the solution provider!
Don’t let others used you. Use your knowledge, strength, initiative and capacity/capability to empower yourself and/or enhance your personal needs and wants first (personal economy).
Don’t allow yourself to emotionally react without thinking. Next, stop dwelling on what you have lost or may loose or unfortunate circumstances.
Instead, look at what you have and be thankful. Thank God every day for everything that you have!
What important next is, just prioritize and focus on your personal and family life first and always. Personal Needs First, Personal Development A Priority!
Then, ask God to help you with your personal situations. Look to Him for guidance and direction. Could there ever be a time when the situation would be so bad that God could not help? If there is, then you need to get another God!
Finally, manage your life, your affairs and your family with wisdom and discretion. I did not say, “With fear”. Acting out of fear will only bring negative results into your life.
Think things through and make the best decisions that you can. If you need financial counsel, then get it.
Above all, put your trust and confidence in God as your Supplier! No, it doesn’t mean that you just put your head in the sand and act like nothing is going on.
It doesn’t mean that we do nothing and think, “Well, God’s just got to do something”. No....We trust God for His help, but we take action without fear, moving ahead one step at a time.
It is easy to sing praises unto God when everything is going just fine. It’s easy to say that we love God and that He is so wonderful when there is no pressure. But when you are up against the wall, you will find out if you really believe that He is really real!
I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that our God is both able and willing to help, regardless of the “negative circumstances” or being poor or underprivileged or oversight for that matter. Do whatever you need to do to get convinced of that!
Refuse to react. Refuse to be motivated by fear. Instead, respond with trust in our delivering and powerful God, Who loves you unconditionally! God is still on the throne!
This I learn each time I reach-up to God.
Thanks be to God!
