Why Arawak, Why ?

Being the people that I know we are (Bahamians that loves drama, gossip and anything that will appeal to ones emotion); I knew that this topic “Why Arawak, Why” would get your attention seeing that Arawak Homes and the Church destruction is one of the most talked about matters today.

As a religious nation I know that most of us (in particular Christians) have already settled in their hearts and ruled on this matter thereby condemning Arawak Homes for the demolishing of the church building.

Okay, that's your rights; you're entitled to think and conclude as you wish, but can I say to you that Father Yahweh is not tripping or freaking out at what happen. Always remember that “Nothing can every catch God by surprise or off guard”

Here's something that I want you to also remember or consider: Religious thinking mixed with heated emotion at times will cause one to totally overlook or ignore the facts.

With that being said, before we (religious Christians) begins to demonized the principles of Arawak Homes; let's stop for a few minutes and look at some facts and the law. Please understand this,I don't know Mr. Franklin Wilson nor have I ever met him. I just felt led of the Spirit to bring some sobering thoughts to the forefront of this Arawak Homes / Church saga. It is obvious that folks religious emotions are overshadowing some key facts in this matter

  1. The religious Christian community is upset and venting its anger in the wrong direction (at Arawak Homes).

  2. The real culprit in this matter is the unscrupulous, unethical law firm that have placed the church in this unfortunate situation.

  3. If the Christian community really wants to help this congregation; why not have a mass demonstration against this law firm and cause this firm to bear the weight of the financial hardship and restoration of this church.

As you're reading this article, would you ponder these few questions as I supply my that which I believe to be some honest answers.

  1. Is it about the money? --- No, it's not about money

  2. Is Arawak Homes is not hurting financially? ---- No, they're not.

  3. Is it that the principles of Arawak Homes are bad people? No, by no means are they bad people.

The destruction of this place of worship was nothing personal between the Pastor / members and the Principles of Arawak Homes, for had it been so this act would have taken place a long time ago. But rather this was a timely spiritual message sent to the nation by the principalities and powers that are acclaimed / laud over this nation. Unfortunately, this anti-Christ spirit saw an opportunity to make its presence felt as it rode in on an unethical move by a law firm thereby causing Arawak Homes to be demonized.

The carnal minded and also some religious minded Bahamians would never see the spiritual connotation that's attached to this saga. The only winner in the destruction of this house of worship is the anti-Christ spirit (not Arawak Homes and its principles). For I would want to believe that deep within, Arawak Homes now regrets taking such actions as a result of the negative backlash and publicity that has and is yet to come.

watch this!

It's not as if the principles of Arawak Homes don't go to church themselves or believes in God. That's right they're not anti-church. I also believe that at any given time the owner of Arawak Homes would give generously to their home church or any other as they would feel led to.

Watch this !

How many families throughout the history of the Bahamas and to this present day have suffered some kind of lost or injustice as a result of unethical practice at the hand of an hired attorney. For far to long this type of twisted / crooked legal representation has been allowed to run wild in this country via a fraction of lawyers giving the legal profession a bad name.

It can be counted on one hand how many times you will ever see a law firm challenging another in court for unethical practice.

As I've stated before, so do I again. The restoration of the country's spiritual connection to Father Yahweh has to come via the church of which Yeshuwa Messiah died for. Therefore God will use whatever means to expose ungodly, unethical practices.

So, again before you self righteous, religious hypocrites, demonized Arawak Homes; could it be that God has allowed this act to happen via the church to wake this nation from its chosen position of sleep to corruption and unethical practices?

How many of us within and outside the church knows of, or may have taken part in some form of ungodly, unethical behavior and practices. But now that a church building / a place of worship (a sacred cow) is at the center of this saga; religiously and ignorantly you're crying foul. Listen, I'm not saying “let's tear down church buildings, but what I am saying is that; let's not wait until the seeds of corruption and unethical practices bears fruits and then cry out”

For those of you who are bent on holding your religious position as it relates to your places of worship or the one in question; Yeshuwa Messiah also encountered the religious spirit of which has gotten hold of you.

Watch this!

The Woman of Samaria

John.4: 20. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

: 21. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

: 22. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

: 23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

: 24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
