JUDGMENT SHALL RETURN TO RIGHTEOUSNESS.
By Michael Benson Ajayi
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight! Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,
Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink, Who justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away justice from the righteous man!" Isaiah 5:21-25 Nkjv
In a federation, the three tiers of government, Federal, State, and Local, work independently but concurrently for citizens to enjoy the dividends of democracy . Democracy is government of the people by the people and for the people. The development of any nation can only be effective when these tiers of government are working in harmony with each other and this can only be possible through an effective righteous judiciary . The justification of illegality is a sin against God ( Isaiah 5:21-25) A pastor who receives bribes to promote illegality will find it difficult to preach the true gospel of repentances from sins. Such pastors are a tool in the hands of Satan for the enslavement of God's people. Resist the devil and he shall flee.
The judiciary is part of the three arms of government namely the Executive, (Presidency ) Legislative (Senate and House of Representatives) and Judicial (Supreme Court and lower Courts).. Its primary function is to create the legal framework needed to execute projects to avoid unnecessary impediments while protecting the rights and privileges of citizens . It is for this reason that the nation's judiciary should consist of men and women of impeccable character . They should be accountable to God and the citizens .
Underdeveloped nations suffer from the effects of weak judiciary often under the influence of dishonest politicians and interest groups .
