NATHAN OPTION

Kings have always had an exceptional place in the society, basically everything they do sets the pace for future generations, in fact kings of old were much more revered compared to kings of our time as they were often seen as the representatives of the gods in the African setting and I believe in every other civilization that existed before us.

At such one would want to imagine the cost implication on anyone that choose to stand against a king. To understand the cost impaction, we might need to bring out the fact that a king loved by many would see himself as having the capacity to indulge and even determine what might be called right.

In fact seeing that the king in question was ordained by a higher power, the king definitely should be seen as a supreme personality; that’s why an opposition that had barely been mentioned in the king’s previous event would do wrong to object to the kings actions.

That and more was the case for Nathan the prophet.

Nathan had a message from God, a message that puts the integrity of the king, the one great king at stake. A tale of infidelity and murder right in the chambers of the executive; at a time when the nation was fighting to retain the sovereignty given her by God; Imagine in recent times, having such as- the war on terror going on and such a tale is told of any president of any Nation, trust me, that’s the kind of thing Nathan had a lead on and to make matters worse, his lead was from God and he had a mandate that was not negotiable, the king maker been God had Nathan deliver a message and trust me, he had options, either to make the message look friendly or don’t even say nothing; i.e. sorry God, I took ill, will deliver the message next week….but no Nathan went ahead in spite of all that might go wrong standing against the king. Nathan chooses the King makers option, he choose to deliver the message without editing the content or the gravity. Nathan choose an option that might cost him his job, him family and more.

Nathan option is basically a look at series of issues; call it events that would offer new arguments and by that we replicate the courage of Nathan in our generation.

Like the great king, we are a generation of exceptional intelligence, where everything can be argued right, where almost anything is obtainable and seeking to argue against puts us at the same position Nathan found himself.

Like Nathan, I choose to speak the revelation for this exceptional generation, like Nathan there might be glaring cost and possibly argument that seek to nullify the purpose of our revelation but I and many others choose to declare these option hoping that the generation like the king would do the wise thing--- CHANGE

To mange this change we seek to look critically at various scenarios and take counsel from both living and past leaders who have successfully kept the option of adhering to God’s standards.
