โYou canโt keep spitting on the well and still expect clean water.โ
Or so they saying goes.
You keep asking God for more, yet you keep tearing down the very people He used to bring light to your land.
In Nigeria, God didnโt leave us without witnesses.
He raised Fathers of faith.
Men like Pastor E.A. Adeboye, Bishop David Oyedepo, Archbishop Benson Idahosa, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, and many others.
Through them He poured healing, teachings, discipline, hope, and global influence into our nation.
But look at how you treat them.
You mock them, doubt them, insult them, reduce their lifeโs work to memes and gossip.
And then you wonder why certain doors stay shut.
You donโt have to agree with everything someone does to honour the grace they carry.
But when you treat what God has lifted with contempt, you quietly block yourself from what flows through it.
Youโre not just rejecting a person, youโre rejecting the channel that God choose.
And heaven is very serious and intentional about its channels.
You say you want revival, prosperity, and spiritual depth, but you keep dishonouring the Generals that paid the price for it.
You want the oil, but you despise the vessel.
You want the harvest, but you insult the farmer.
Does that even work?
Let's check a fact, shall we?
Archbishop Benson Idahosa broke global barriers for Nigerian Christianity.
Pastor Adeboye carried a revival that shook nations.
Bishop Oyedepo taught a generation how faith produces results.
Pastor Kumuyi modelled discipline and holiness.
Pastor Chris took the gospel into the media space at a level Africa had never seen!
These are not small milestones.
Though they are human and even if they have flaws, the grace on their lives is not ordinary.
And hereโs the truth you donโt like to hear:
You donโt rise above what you keep dishonouring.
Read it again.
When you train your mouth to tear down greatness, you train your spirit to reject the very help you need.
Thatโs why some blessings keep passing over you.
Not because God is wicked, but because you keep slapping His messengers.
So please next time, before you laugh, insult, or casually dismiss what God has built, pause.
Honour doesnโt mean worship, it simply means recognition.
And when you recognize what God has anointed, you position yourself to receive from it.
Because when you keep dishonouring greatness, it's not a curse but some things, no matter how much you desire and pray for, will never get to you.
This is not peculiar only to the Fathers, but cuts across to wherever greatness is found.
