Reverend Patrick Henry is the man currently trending in Akwa
Ibom State. His resignation as a Catholic priest is the hottest topic of
discussion. The charismatic man of God said he was given a small space to
operate in while he was in Catholic Church but he discovered that he needed
freedom and more space to serve God the way he wants. Read more below…
“For years, I started
seeking God, I said how do I get my peace back, how do I live freely, and do
what I do in peace and be happy. I discovered that the space given to me in the
Catholic Church as a minister is so small and too much contention for that
small space. The Catholic Church is the best institution that has ever been
built. So organized. No nation, no country can rival the Catholic Church in
organization, in the finesse of organization and order. Their education is
excellent, the culture is impeccable but it comes with a package. A package I
discovered is a limitation. That a box is already made for you, you cannot go
outside that box, you cannot know God beyond that box, you cannot express God
beyond that box. And any attempt to go beyond that box brings you label, brings
you judgment. The God I have discovered in life in reading the scripture and
relating with Him in the spirit, is a God that cannot be fully known. He’s a
God who is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow but who reveals Himself in
diverse ways, anew, afresh in every season, every time. That God is a God that
cannot be fully predicted, that cannot be fully captured in human expression,
otherwise He will cease to be a mystery. That is a God I have come to accept as
my God. The God who touched my life and gave me a call. And I have come to
realize that serving that God, you need freedom. You live for Him, He gives you
freedom, and when that freedom is limited you cannot fully serve that purpose.
This has been my dilemma. Do I stay in a box, beautiful comfortable box?”,
he said.
