LONG LOOK, Tortola, VI- 'The Alabaster Box' Minister Ms Roxanne T. Toussaint has declared that the will of God is for a Unity Government to lead the Virgin Islands (VI) forward, that is, a government made up of members from each of the current political parties in the VI.

“One party in this nation or another does not have the skills to take us forward, we need a team of managers to move our nation forward… it means that we would have persons from each party that comes before us,” she added in a prayer sermon delivered on Sunday, February 12, 2023.

Unity Gov’t is way forward– Ms Toussaint

A Unity Government made up of members from the Virgin Islands Party, the National Democratic Party (NDP) and People's Progressive Movement (PVIM) was formed to stave off British direct rule; however, the group will not be contesting the elections as a unit.  

Ms Toussaint added that there are political leaders with selfish desires in the VI who must therefore step aside and let others shine.

“There are people from each political party that have the skill set to take us forward. The problem that we have in the Virgin Islands is that each person has their own selfish desires and wants to be the head of the nation. God is saying to you today, put aside your pride, put aside your ignorance”.

She said in the VI, everybody cannot be the leader and cannot be the chief, rather the VI needs a stern hand of management to take the nation forward.

Electorate only voting for want & not needs – Ms Toussaint

She added that the VI is not made up of dumb people and know what they need yet they continue to vote for what they want. 

“Virgin Islands, hear the word of the Lord today. These are not my words, but these are the words of the true and the living God."

She said the 2023 elections must be about country and not individual needs.

“This election has to reposition the Virgin Islands. We need good management, a steady hand and capable management of our resources. We need an economist, somebody who can diversify our economy,” she added.

      Have you noticed that both of these so-called Christian women have their hair dyed red like the devil, ugly red lipstick, another devil color, gaudy jewelry, and spewing anger and spit? AGAIN! Why are they hiding their true god-given selves from the public? They look like any other person on the street and you cannot see one holy look about them. They need to go sit down and stop partnering up with CSC to prove a woman will lead the next election. T R A S P A R E N C Y! I am NOT listening to these fools!

      You better read yours. Must be from that church across from Island Dept Store.

      John 20.

      After the men leave, Mary looks deeper into the tomb and sees two men—angels—who ask why she is crying. She is not expecting to see Jesus at all, let alone someone vibrant and healthy. When she turns with blurred eyes and speaks with someone in the dim light, His identity escapes her. When Jesus says her name, she suddenly realizes what has happened. That Jesus chooses to appear to women, first, is significant. This speaks to Jesus' elevation of women as spiritual equals of men, and to the honesty of the gospel accounts. Jesus asks Mary to tell the others what has happened, and she obeys (John 20:11–18)

    I admire Ms Toussaint. I think she is a strong black articulate woman. But when you start talking about God told you that's when my admiration stops. This is your opinion and the majority of us agree with that position. Stop confusing your religious beliefs with politics. God didn't have to tell us that. We figured it out ourselves. God gives us each of a conscience so we know sense from nonsense.

    1 Kings 22:23
    [23]Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath PUT A LYING SPIRIT in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee..

    These false prophets always lying on God....when did he tell you that...on the phone ...did god call your number to talk to you..did you have a private meeting with him?

    This country needs honest god fearing people who think about the youth and will put things in place for them seeing they are the future!

    Is she preaching word of God or preaching politics? I'm confused or she is. Why all these so called prophets or man and woman of God could always tell us what the Lord said about politics but could never tell us what the Lord said about the crimes happening in this place and how to stop or solve them??? Only solution they have for crimes is to tell us we must pray more. Y'all is a joke!

      @ clowns. Your statement shows you are not from here and think you are intellectually superior, but you are not. I saw right through your arrogant racist remark. Go back to where you came from and why are you here. You are here because you want something your country cannot give you, so go back to the sewer you crawled out of so we can be rid of your kind.
