Don’t Cry

Don’t cry out, about the country’s crime and high murder rate that‘s been displayed on our streets / in our communities; if you’re not willing to cry out against the wicked, corrupt seeds that are being sowed behind closed doors by our leaders (Political, Religious, Civic, etc;)

The ignorance of the masses and the wicked, corrupt and hypocritical practices of the leaders are the food that feeds the monster of crime which has many facets such as  (1) Murders, (2) Rapes, (3) Stealing, (4) Housebreaking, etc, etc, etc;   

The vast majority of our young men that are caught up in the crime wave that’s sweeping our nation; don’t have the academic qualifications and business suave to sit at the negotiation table.  Therefore they’re expecting that those leaders who do possess the qualifications and business suave would represent the best interest of the small man but to the contrary; it‘s discovered years later that selfishness, greed and corruption had gotten the better part of their negotiators.

While I strongly admonish our young men to do away with the violence, the firearms and other dangerous weapons.  Likewise I do strongly admonish our leaders to do away with their PENS of corruption that is inflicting much more harm, injury and hurt to the wider community.

As a nation we’re spending / wasting lots of precious time and money haggling over the fruits of crime as stated above (1, 2, 3, 4, etc, etc, etc,); yet we refuse to deal with the root which produces the fruit of crime.  Folks, let’s stop playing games and kidding ourselves otherwise we’re going to need much more land for graves to bury our dead and to build prisons houses.

One of the mean reasons for not addressing / dealing with the root that’s producing these undesirable fruits of crime is; the unavoidable exposure of corruption and dirty dealings that will lead / lies at the door steps of some of the nation’s elites. 

There is a saying that goes like this ! “There is no honor among thieves”  this saying is true; that’s when we’re referring to the small man / the grassroots.  But this is not so with the country’s elites, as they’re placed on pedestals and given titles such as Honorable, Mr. / Mrs.

Watch this !   We say that we’re a Christian Nation, and rightfully so as that we may be; but in our ignorance we’ve failed to relies and accept the fact that Christianity is just another religion of which there is very little discipline of the flesh.

In speaking to the saints of Galatia about the works of the flesh here‘s what the Apostle Paul says:

Gal.5: 19.  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

: 20.  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
: 21.  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Have you notice the religious trend of today ?  Of how the religious church rides on whatever wave or tide that’s rolling in at the time.

Here’s some of the waves that the churches rode on for a period of time and then abandon (1) The Evangelical wave, where everybody / church was evangelical at that time,

(2) The Prophetic wave, everybody was the prophetic voice of God for the nation.  Where are they now ?  I Don’t know,

(3) Likewise, The Apostolic wave, every church and new believer was an Apostle, Wow !

Now today, we’ve got the kingdom wave !

This one is way out there for not only have all the churches switch to kingdom; but we’ve got (Kingdom bread, Kingdom Junkanoo Groups, Kingdom Beauty Salons, Kingdom Water, Kingdom Clean Music Night Clubs, etc; )
As soon as the church is truly converted and no longer riding on religious waves and clichés, it will be able to boldly stand and cry out against injustice, corruption and the likes.  For it’s a terrible thing to see how the politics of the world has worked its way into the religious churches of the Bahamas whereas we’ve got (P.L.P,  Bishops, Apostles, Doctors, Pastors, etc;  and likewise we’ve got F.N.M, Bishops, Apostles, Doctors, Pastors, etc;).

The cry of the poor and needy has gotten lost / goes unheard in the midst of fast talking politics and vain religion.
Watch this !

James.1: 26.  If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
: 27.  Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

So, if we’re going to cry; let’s not be hypocritical in so doing, but rather let’s cry out against all facet of corruption and wickedness from the elites to the grassroots.

May the FOG ( Favor of God ) be with you:
