Which Way is Up?

Prov.14: 12. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

(There is a way): The word Way in the Hebrew is: derek, deh'-rek; which has several meanings as follows: (1) a course of life or mode of action, (2) a custom or culture, (3) a pathway.

There is much cry for leadership that will lead the Bahamas, Upward, Onward and Forward together. But what we’ve got today are people with self-centered agendas that have assumed or have been elected to various positions of leadership.

Here’s a sad, but yet true fact: Everything that’s good and enhances the growth and future development of the Bahamas / Bahamian people evolves around and is contaminated by nasty politics and incompetent leadership.

Being the highly educated / religious people that we are; and knowing the scripture verse (Prov.29:18). Here‘s what this verse doesn’t say “Where there is no vision, the leaders perish”

But to the contrary it states “Where there is no vision, the people perish:

Then to add insult to injury; it hurts / breaks my heart to hear various voices of influences throughout this country giving their excuses for the poor response to the laws of deterioration within some of the ancient infrastructures of the Bahamas.  Here’s a favorite saying by the voices of influences which is often use as (A pill to ease the pain, or A wool that’s pulled over the eyes of the ignorant political / religious driven masses) it goes like this. “We’re only a 36 - 37yrs Old Nation and we can’t be compared to the USA when it comes to health care, education, etc;”

And guess what?  It works every time; the people buy into the sayings of the educated voices of influences.

My question to you educated voices of influences is this:
“How is it that this 36 - 37yrs Old Bahamas shouldn’t be compared to the USA when it comes to health care and the Bahamian people expect to receive state of the art hospitals in both Nassau and Freeport? 

Or how is it that this 36 -37 yrs concept bypasses our leaders (Political & Religious) as they’re living in homes that can be compared to homes of the rich and famous throughout the USA;  and drives the year to date vehicles as those throughout the USA.  What’s wrong with this picture ?      
 
Watch this !  Here’s another view of this flimsy excuse of just being a 36 - 37yrs old nation.  Would you be pleased with and silently accept a 36 - 37 years old man or woman who; instead of going to a bathroom to relieve themselves (# 1 or 2), but rather do so right where they stand ?

I want to assure you, that such a person would not be about in public nor without proper supervision; for obviously such person has some mental problems.           

As a nation, we’re conducting international business transactions on a great scale; our leaders are traveling the world and are being exposed to progress and modern technology by far much more advanced than those of which our forefathers saw.  Therefore I deemed it an insult to the very existence of our people (Bahamians) when influential voices would make Dumb, Silly, Stupid, statements such as “We’re only a 36 -37yrs old nation” 

Due to nasty politics and erroneous religious beliefs / teachings which are two of the enemy‘s most powerful, divisive tools. Many Bahamians are ignorant of the spiritual existence, significance and positioning of these Bahama Islands. 
 
Have you ever heard any of these sayings or maybe you’ve been saying them also “I’m a diehard P.L.P. or F.N.M;  I‘m a diehard Anglican, Catholic, Baptist, etc; ?  That’s the game plan of the enemy to subtly divide the people and he‘s successful to a point; as he is using politics and religion to do likewise.

As the apostle Paul spoke to the brethren of the churches in Galatia (Galatians.3:1. O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?)

So do I speak to my nation ! “O foolish Bahamians why have you allowed yourself to be  bewitched by politics & religion which is dividing our country daily?  As the nation is being divided the people are getting screwed on both sides:

1.  Politicians are using their office / positions to fatten themselves, whiles their constituents suffers.

2.  Religious Leaders are using the word of God to fatten themselves whiles their congregations suffers.

Which way is up, Bahamians ?

Prov.14: 12. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
