 There is no doubt that these are tough, trying times for many Bahamians;
as people are being pressed on every side. It’s times such as this
that I dare to ask the question “What do you do, when pressure presses
you?”
The saint of Old use to sing the song (Be very sure, your
anchor holds). If there is ever a time that one needs to be sure of his
or her anchor’s stability, that time is now. The
global economic downturn somewhat helped in locating where many of us
are spiritually; as even some religious leaders are crying about the
decline in the church’s tithes and offering. How sad, but then again
that’s religion for ya:
What we’re facing as a nation today can be
liken to the various types of famines which took place in what we call
“the bible days.” It was during these times that the nation of Israel
based upon their obedience to God’s word, saw and experienced a mighty
move of God (elohiym, el-o-heem').
One of the greatest tricks and
deceptions that the enemy is successfully using against the children of
God is that of religion. As he (Satan) knows of the great, awesome
power of God, he has infiltrated and contaminated the act of true
worship and relationship with Father Yahweh; with the diversities
religious beliefs.
Have you ever asked the question or heard the
question being asked “if we’re all
serving the same God why are there so many different churches and
denominations? And then only to hear some so-called deep religious
person give their unbalanced synopsis of the body that’s made up of many
parts.
Be that as it may, I’m not hating on the churches and
denominations; more power to them. For there is just as many or even
more night clubs, liquor stores, gambling houses, etc; that‘s
successfully handling their business, and nobody is hating on them.
Nevertheless,
my case and point is this: I do strongly believe that the Bahamas has
been ordained the Spiritual Mecca of the western hemisphere. For this
is one of the reasons why the enemy has strategically satiated this
nation with a very strong deceptive religious spirit. Whereas the only
true and pure religion that favorably catches God’s attention is this:
James.1:27. 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.
With the above being said, I wish to
suggest to my fellow Bahamians that it’s time for them to (Man-Up) and
put their religions and politics aside, and seek the face of God. As
both religion and politics has one common denominator which is; they’re
both man centered. Despite all the rhetoric and futile promises, the
glory of politics is always showered upon the politician; likewise the
glory of religion is methodically showered upon the religious leaders in
spite of the watered down sayings of “all glory and honor goes to God”
It’s in difficult, challenging times such as these that the
most high God searches for a people whom he can show himself strong
through. Watch this! 2Chron.16: 9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and
fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of
them
whose heart is perfect toward him.
Through ignorance many
Bahamians are of the view that the heavenly host is overwhelmed with joy
when proudly boast; that the Bahamas is a Christian nation. In
actuality what they’re saying is that “the Bahamas is a religious
nation” and this fact is evident from the many different religious
organizations we’ve got in the country.
There are a few things in
the Bahamas that one dare not touch or talk against in order to stay in
the good gracing of the Bahamian public; here’s three of those
untouchable things, (1) their politics, (2) their lodges, and (3) their
religion.
Today’s religious leaders are doing a good job in talking
about God, and marketing / merchandising their materials to a handsome
financial profit. But as it relates to walking in the (dunamis,
doo'-nam-is) power of God the religious leaders are not able to, as
they’ve chosen and are committed to
conforming; rather than to be transformed by the renewing of their
minds.
There is a war cry in the spirit realm over the Bahamas
for a mighty move of God; as an intense war is being waged between the
Spirit of God and the religious spirit that lauds over these Islands.
Please
note: That the spiritual breakthrough and victory that’s about to take
place throughout the length and breath of these Islands is not going to
come via today’s religious (Bishops, Apostles, Doctors, etc;) who are
busy prostituting the gospel in Jesus’ name.
But God is raising up
no-named sons and daughters whose hearts are perfect towards him;
thereby showing himself strong on their behalf. It is during this time
that the entire nation of the Bahamas would have no other choice than to
boldly declare “How great is our God” As even those of a criminal
mind-set would surrender to the power of God and repent of their
criminal ways.
The adulterous man and the adulteress woman would turn from
their wicked ways and up-hold / restore their martial covenant. The
children of the Bahamas would once again become obedient to the parents
as they strongly adhere to the scriptures especially that of Ephesians
chapter six.
Eph.6:1. Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for
this is right.
: 2. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first
commandment with promise;
: 3. That it may be well with thee, and
thou mayest live long on the earth.
How great is our God:
