DID REV FR MBAKA SAY SO?
I have read a story online where it was written that Rev Fr Mbaka said he is going to suffer in his new station. It has kept me wondering for days now. How can he say such thing? Has he turned against God that took him to prominence? Has he now lost faith that God is able to turn his desert to a flourishing land? Has he forgotten that God can make a way where there is no way. Such actions and utterances that you have been transferred to suffer has now given room to people who are now speaking evil and condemning the decision of the church as witch hunt.

I am a priest and I know that our call takes us to different parishes. In some parishes or station, the priest may have the privilege of enjoying good vicarage and in some other places the priest will live in a house that is not good enough for pigs. I left a vicarage where I lived in a storey building containing two flats and well furnished to a vicarage of two rooms. I lived in the two room apartment for nearly 6 years. From there I am now in a four bedroom flat.

For Rev Fr Mbaka to have said that he is going to suffer in his new station because it is a one room apartment has led me to question his spirituality of recent. Has he forgotten God? Was it not God that made him? Why not get your friends in your former station and other places to help you build a decent vicarage? Will going to your new station stop your ministry or reduce your anointing?

If you have something to offer as a priest, no matter the 'cave' or remote area you are transferred to, people will come there, looking for you. The mistake Rev Fr Mbaka made was to think that he has built an empire for himself and could not be transferred. You don't have to think that way.

That good thing you were doing in your former station, go and continue in the new station. No parish has the sole right to or autonomy of your ministry. Fr Mbaka should remember that in his ordination vows, in promised to serve wherever he is sent. He should not make mockery of God that called him because He is able to take care of him anytime, anywhere.
