Our Readers' Opinions

To the Nation

I have read in the papers this week where the Prime Minister stated that he is doing the work of God. Many may disagree but he is right. Jesus said to Pilate you can have no power unless it is given to you, no man can do what God does not allow. The soul that sin shall die, what you sow you shall reap. God is love, but when judgement day comes many will be burning for a long time in hell’s fire. God said when you cry I will not hear you for when I called you did not answer. So we are blaming others for our sufferings but we will reap what we sow. On December 30th 2019, I said to my wife and daughter something is going to take place next year that will affect the whole world and before it ends another will start, so you see there is nothing but trouble before us. We cannot help each other for there is no difference between us.

None is worshipping God in spirit, and in truth we are calling on a God we do not know. This may come as a surprise but at the end of it all we will say to Jesus we have done many wonderful things in your name and he will say to us “Depart from me I never knew you”. Jesus said “These people worship me with their lips but their heart is far from me, in vain do they worship me”. Now I am faced with a problem. When the volcano erupted there was a lady whose wall to her property fell over, so I tried to help her for she was an elderly woman. I went to NEMO. I got to the gate and that was as far as I could go. It would have been easier getting into Buckingham palace. A lady stood at the gate and asked me what I wanted. When I told her, she left me at the gate still closed, then she came back and said that I had to go to B.R.A.G.S.A. I went to B.R.A.G.S.A, went inside and talked to a woman who promised they would look into the matter. As I was about to leave, I noticed that there was a problem. I have one leg, and was walking with two crutches, and when I put one of the crutches on the step, there was hardly any room for my feet, so I fell over and dropped on my knee. There were a few people there that were paying road workers, so the security and a couple of the men helped me to get up, and the God of heaven helped me to get home and get to the bedroom, and I could not move nor even touch my leg. I ended up in the hospital.

They had four needles to punch the knee to drain the blood, but they got it done when they used the third needle. Sometimes the leg says that I can move, and another time I can’t. B.R.A.G.S.A never asked how I was. Now to the next problem, the wall at my house that joins the drain and the main road will fall soon if it is left as it is, if it is not taken care of. Part of the road is broken and part of the drain is broken up, causing the water to undermine the wall. I spent two hours one day trying to talk to someone about it but it seemed like they have a recording they play when someone calls that says the person is on another call then you get a busy signal. One day I met some men cleaning in front of the culvert that takes the water. There was no wall nor houses near the bank but they were cleaning. I did not count them but could be more than six of them, two were cleaning while the others were looking on so I stopped them and told them how I was trying to call, but no one answered, so I wanted to show them what was happening. They said the boss went up the road, and that when he comes back he will look at it and that was the end of that. I am begging to have this printed so that we may know how wicked we are. When I saw on television that pastors were taking their lives because COVID- 19 has reduced their membership, and they have the heart to call them pastors. The bible says there will be distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. We ain’t seen nothing yet. May heaven help us all. They never looked at the wall for the lady, and my wall will cause a lot of problems, possibly even death.

Read the Whole of Jeremiah 7
Thank you
God Bless
