My Fellow Man!!!!

My fellow man!!!!!!

So I know the word, should I spread the word or just follow the word. Do I just keep what I know to myself?  If I call myself a Christian what should I be doing as a follower of Christ? Does my life change or I just go through life changes? So many questions.  Well, I just read Matthew 25 chapter and it seems that there are things I should be doing. In this chapter Jesus compares Heaven by giving us analogies. Basically letting us know that heaven is a place you do not want to let slip by because you will be one sorry individual if you do. First analogy describes the 10 virgins. 5 had oil in there lamp which means that they were prepared for the coming of the bridegroom. Since we know not what hour Jesus is coming we should always be prepared. We do not want to be like the other 5 virgins who's oil ran out and they missed the bridegroom's coming. No amount of pounding on the door could let them in. 

  It is interesting that when Jesus met his disciples and said follow me they immediately dropped what they were doing. They asked no questions and started to follow him. It's the same as knowing the word. Once we have learned truth there should be no hindrance on our part. To find Jesus is like finding the most beautiful and expensive diamond in the world. We cannot let it go. We cannot let him go. We cannot fall asleep on him because we will miss living with him for eternity. 

  So back to these questions, should I spread the word or just follow the word. Since the bible says that a woman should be quiet in the church I am quiet but I write this blog in hopes of changing lives. We all have questions. The only answer that I see is to seek Jesus Christ. God almighty says that we are to seek him while he still may be found. We are to seek him while we are young so that when we get old his word will not depart from us. What should I be doing if I am a follower of Christ? Well in Jesus time there were women who hung with his disciples and they also taught the word and were able to bring others to Christ.   

   I am not a pastor nor minister but I read the word often. As I look around this world and see the changes taking place I feel the need to let people know from my own experience that Jehovah is real. Jesus is coming back. We must be on guard because the antichrist is working endlessly trying to deceive many. Our only hope is to put our faith and trust in the almighty so that we are not deceived. So many people are dying, destruction seems to be all around us. There are Countries wanting to destroy other countries. This is not the time to sit back and take it easy. We need to fight the fight of faith. We need to be consistent in our walk because as Luke 9:62 says" No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. Meaning, we cannot start out following Jesus and then go back to our old ways by missing the things we use to do. Following Christ is an everlasting process. 

  Matthew 13:18- 23 The parable of the sower......when anyone heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony ground, the same is he that heareth the word, and along with joy receive it; yet hath he not root in himself, but endures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arise because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that receive seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of Riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it; which also bears fruit, and bringeth forth, some and hundredfold, some sixty,some thirty. 

  So let us bear fruit worthy of saving lives. 

The new roots!!!!!

The new roots!!!!!

So I have heard there is a new roots movie. Sorry to say I have only seen bits of the old. So I have never really seen it. 

  The old roots came out when I was in grade school. I remember my classmates talking about it but my mother refused to watch it, so I never got a chance to see it. 

  I also grew up in Jamaica and my experience of what I learned in school while being in Jamaica was totally different from what I learned in the United States. As a child I remember that we prayed and sang the Jamaican anthem each morning. At lunch since some students went home for lunch we also prayed and we prayed before school let out in the evening. Jamaica honors Marcus Garvey just as America honors Martin Luther King.  While living and going to school in Jamaica we as children were taught to be proud of our country and who we were as a people. 

  Coming to America and going to school here, was a totally different experience.  The first school I went to was predominantly black teachers and students.  It was ok. I learned the basics, reading, writing and arithmetic. After my first year that school was closed for good. I now had to be bussed across town to a new school. At the new school I learned about Eric the red, Christopher Columbus and slavery. It was taught in such a way that it made me angry. In my mind,  my descendants were never slaves. After the slave routine here comes the evolution story. We descended from apes and there was always a picture of a black gorilla being used to say this is where we came from. Somehow that made me have  a dislike for my teacher.  That experience was actually my first indoctrination to racism at its finest. ( Let me get you while you are young because I don't care who you think you are) . It's like a brainwash experience. Whites sailed and ventured the world but you came from slavery. You were beaten, raped, murdered, sold, stolen and as of right now you are still a slave because others and whites will not ever see you as anything else because we will never let you forget. 

  I am glad I never saw roots. I don't need roots to teach me who I am or who my ancestors were. The Egyptian tombs, mummy's, pyramids and hieroglyphics are enough. If those are not enough, the story of the moors conquering Spain, the black kings and queens which ruled Africa and traded with the Arabs also gives me a good insight to my ancestors. 

  These kinds of movies teach hatred.  They sow self hatred and hatred towards those who enslaved blacks. 

  To anyone who believes that blacks can only be slaves and negroes let me just say this. After reading the book of Deuteronomy I have come to this understanding, ( an understanding I have never heard a minister talk about. As if to say we can't touch that subject. The people are blind and they must stay blind. ) God laid down his laws and guidelines for the Israelites. He gave them blessings and curses. Those curses only happened to those people who were shipped throughout the ends of the earth to a people strong and greater that them. Far from their homeland. You will long to see it but you will not return.  You will watch your children sold In front of you. You will have chains around your neck and chains around your feet. So yes blacks are cursed, not for the color of their skin or their kinky hair but for being disobedient to the most high God. It is very sad when a person does not know his heritage yet the bible tells us who we are. We seem to be the only people who don't believe or see it. We are so busy doing wrong and trying to fit in where we do not belong. The only reason we do not belong is because we belong to God. We are his but we act as though we do not care.  Come out from among them, separate yourselves. God's people are suppose to be holy. Once we return to the most high , not with lip service but by hearkening to his voice . 2 Chronicles 7:14  If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven , and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Deuteronomy 28:68. Gives all indication that slavery from Africa to the Americas and the Caribbean are the original Israelites. 

  So I write this to say. I am not a slave  nor will I be any ones slave in the future. I will not take part of this systemic system to continually enslave and lie to me be it mentally or physically. I serve a God who says that we are his sons and daughters. My father is a great King and he rules this world and everything in it. One day all wickedness will end. PEACE
