WHEN THE TOWEL IS MIGHTIER THAN THE CROWN!

Restoring True Leadership in a World Addicted to Power

In a world obsessed with dominance, image (personality cult), and command, one of the most radical acts in human history was not made by a general on the battlefield or a politician on a podium, nor a ruler on his throne, but by a Man who knelt and washed his disciples’ feet.

John 13:14, saying:

"If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet."

This moment is not a poetic gesture—it is a revolutionary redefinition of leadership.

The Church, founded on Christ’s own example, is called to perpetually promote, at the expenses of comfort, misunderstanding and misinterpretation and to embody this servant leadership in the society and at every corner of its life.

This is not merely a nice idea, but the only way forward if we hope to live in a progressive society, in a sane society where everyone’s need and desires are met; a society that is crime free and a society that rids itself of greed and selfishness, mad accumulation of wealth and theft of the common patrimony of the poor.

AS A CHURCH AND AS BELIEVERS, we are called to be…

💧 A Prophetic Sign:

His love was not sentimental but sacrificial. This act pointed toward the Cross. If the Church is truly segregational, discriminatory and sectional, it fails in its prophetic mission thereby giving room to sycophancy, simony and compromises (being misunderstood simply because elements of a servant leadership is identified, promoted and encouraged is not synonymous with factionalism, bigotry nor partisanship).

💧 Embrace humiliation:

This was scandalous, the world thinks! Foot-washing was the work of non-Jewish slaves in the Roman world. No rabbi would do this—yet the Son of God did. Service is the nature of the Church! Sacrifice is in the DNA of the Church!! A Church leader, a believer who is not capable of promoting solely and defending the rights of the poor for fear of being misunderstood, humiliated and marginalized by powers that be, by structures that enhance inequality, promote embezzlement and glorify corruption, is not worthy of the name of Christ.

Keep the crown aside and wear the garment of service and the towel of a servant

It is the duty of the enlightened to speak to the greedy elements in power!

Instead of defending your fellow poor comrade who didn’t have food to eat, no clinics to treat him, no money to fly abroad for treatment, no schools, no money to acquire education elsewhere, no adequate supply of fertilizer to secure food for the days ahead, no good roads to transport his farm produces, no known organized institution where he could sell his goods proportionately to the hard work he put, you continuously defend those who are making life difficult for all of us just because of a handout.

We need to normalize defending ourselves (the poor) while calling on the powerful to accountability and service.

Insults between political party supporters will not fix our country! Name calling and lies to defend political godfathers against another politician will not ameliorate our standard of living.

Political sabotage and intentional unmaking of a rival political colleague or party will perpetually keep us underdeveloped and progressively backward.

Calling our political leaders to accountability and transparency and service is not an insult, it is not a disservice, it is not hatred, it is not a malicious campaign to underestimate, NO!

It is for the love of the people! It is for the love of the entity!! It is for the love of the political leader in power!!! It is for the love of peace! It is for the love for a crime free society!! It is for the love for unity!!! It is for the love for progress!

Who thinks asking questions and demanding accountability is an intentional act of political sabotage or conspiracy, that person needs to wake up before the the gravel of anti corruption agencies hits on the table of Justice to demand restitution.
