AMEN! Sir!
Traditional
inclinations can shape our every life…Oladele Femi
A senior colleague said a prayer and by impulse I responded Amen, Sir! Afterwards I paused to
evaluate my response.
Two questions came up:
Did I mean to use Sir for
GOD?
Did I have to show to him that I respect him by my response?
Respect is very good and necessary, but was it relevant in
that sense? I have tried to answer that question a dozen times in my mind;
don’t seem to find a satisfying answer.
But I suppose, it was grossly inappropriate; I didn’t have
to express respect in response to prayer that is said in GOD’S name and to GOD.
