APAKAH DALAM IBADAH PASKAH KEBANGKITAN YESUS KRISTUS PADA 17 APRIL ADA YANG BERDOA DI MIMBAR UNTUK PAPUA MERDEKA, ULMWP, TPN-PB, KNPB?

Refleksi Paskah 17 April 2022 

Oleh Gembala DR. A G. Socratez Yoman,MA

Sekitar 8 tahun lalu, ada anggota jemaat salah satu gereja di Tanah Papua protes pada saat seorang pendeta sedang berdoa Syafaat atau doa Penggembalaan. 

Anggota jemaat ini mengikuti doa pendeta dari awal bahwa pendeta ini dari mimbar gereja berdoa meminta kepada Tuhan untuk memberkati pemerintah dari pusat sampai pemerintahan terkecil di desa-desa dan aparat keamanan. 

Tapi, anggota jemaat ini tidak mendengarkan dalam doa pendeta ini meminta kepada TUHAN Yesus untuk memberkati Papua Merdeja, ULMWP, TPN-PB, KNPB.  

Pendeta ini hampir selesai doa dan mendekati kata "AMIN", anggota jemaat ini berdiri dan protes pendeta ini dengan nada menyesal. 

"TUHAN, saya minta jangan dengarkan dan kabulkan doa ini. Karena pendeta ini salah berdoa. Karena, pendeta ini tidak adil. Pendeta mendoakan penguasa Indonesia dan aparat keamanan yang selama ini membunuh umat Tuhan, orang asli Papua di Tanah ini" 

"TUHAN, saya tidak setuju dengan doa pendeta ini, karena pendeta ini tidak mendoakan Papua Merdeja, ULMWP, TPN-PB, KNPB." 

"TUHAN, saya rindu dan harapkan supaya pendeta ini bertobat supaya dia berdoa juga untuk para pejuang Papua Merdeka. Karena mereka juga umat Tuhan yang perlu didoakan dan digembalakan." 

"TUHAN, pendeta ini juru bicara pemerintah dan TNI-Polri di mimbar suci dan kudus. TUHAN, pendeta ini ikut memelihara kekerasan dan kejahatan kemanusiaan di Tanah Papua." 

:TUHAN, pendeta ini berfikir dan berbicara seperti aparat keamanan TNI-Polri yang biasanya memusuhi para pejuang Papua Merdeka, ULMWP, TPN-PB, KNPB." 

Menurut saya, protes anggota jemaat BENAR. Saya setuju dengan dia. Kita harus adil karena semua umat TUHAN. Kita HARUS akhiri KEPALSUAN kesadaran dalam gereja-gereja Tuhan di Papua. 

Saya berharap, ada pendeta dan gembala dan Pastor yang berdoa untuk Papua Merdeka, ULMWP, TPN-PB, KNPB pada saat ibadah Hari Paskah pada Minggu, 17 April 2022. 

Para pendeta, gembala dan pastor harus membebaskan diri dari demam penjara ketakutan. 

Akhirnya, saya sampaikan: 

SELAMAT PASKAH DALAM DEMAM PENJARA KETAKUTAN DI MIMBAR-MIMBAR KRISTEN DI TANAH PAPUA. MIMBAR YANG MEMBELENGGU ORANG ASLI PAPUA DI ATAS TANAH LELUHUR MEREKA. MIMBAR YANG MEMPERKOKOH KEKERASAN DAN KEJAHATAN NEGARA. MIMBAR YANG MENDUKUNG PENJAJAHAN INDONESIA DI TANAH PAPUA. GEREJA YANG BELUM MENGERTI TUGAS UTAMANYA, YAITU MENGGEMBALAKAN UMAT TERTINDAS DAN TERPINGGIRKAN. 

Semoga MATA ROHANI TERBUKA melalui tulisan ini. 

Waa....Waa....Kinaonak.

Prayer of the West Papua Council of Churches 12 February 2022

“On the 167th Anniversary of the Gospel Entering the Land of Papua, We Are Not Safe in Our Land”

Lord, today is the 5th February, 2022, and we Papuans are witnessing the celebration of the 167th anniversary of the Gospel Entering the Land of Papua being held by the government. However, we ask forgiveness from You Lord because we have failed to carry out our pastoral duties. 

It can be seen that we Papuans are almost extinct after being part of this country for the last 60 years. Many Papuans continue to be killed through large-scale military operations and also through disease outbreaks without our voice speaking out. Today there are 60,000 refugees living in fear and uncertainty. The state does not pay attention to the fate of the refugees, they are displaced without food, shelter and health care.

They were forcibly evicted from their home villages in Nduga, Intan Jaya, Puncak Papua, Maybrat, Kiwirok in Star Mountains, and Suru suru in Yahukimo. To this day it is uncertain when they will return to their villages. 

Their villages have been shut off and occupied by military forces. Instead of guaranteeing security and giving hope to refugees, remilitarization has taken place by building new district military posts in Intan Jaya, Nduga, Lany Jaya, Yalimo, Star Mountains, Tambrauw Yahukimo, and Maybrat.

We see that the military operation, the construction of the district military postsand the division of the Provinces are tactics by the Government to implement a program to transfer millions of people from outside Papua to Papua, as promoted by Hendro Priyono, the former chairman of BIN (The State Intelligence Agency).

Lord, right now the lives of Papuans are being messed with by the interests of the State, encouraged by the fervor of Racism, Fascism and injustice. The politics of domination continues, Special Autonomy is forced to continue, even though Papuans have rejected Special Autonomy. Not only that, Lord, but they also have forced the division of current provinces into 6 new provinces. 

Armed conflict continues to be maintained in order to ensure the seizure of our lands. All our lands are being seized for capitalist interests and large-scale investments. Meanwhile, when Papuans call out against this, they are arrested. Papuans are almost extinct.

How can we Papuans sing God's song of praise at this year's celebrations, while we are experiencing all the suffering that we have shared? We are like 

the Israelites who were exiled and who wept by the river of Babylon, asking for God's help. We feel sad because this year the date of February 5th has been robbed by the State while our people are suffering in our land. The State celebrates this day to cover up State crimes against it’s people, and they have lied and plundered the Papuans right to life.

Lord, if the situation is like this, who can we complain to? We can only cry out to you, to call for the safety of our people in the Land of Papua.

Here we are Lord, see Your servants who are praying.
