REGARDLESS of who this murder is linked to, it’s time to face reality.
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE we are repentant and obedient to God choosing to serve God and not the ways of the world. Can’t be up and down knowing wrong, still doing it, all while doing it saying God got your back fully well knowing it goes against His Word and expect to be welcomed into Heaven.
MANY BELIEVE God is on their schedule, that He answers to them, grants them anything they ask when NOTHING AT ALL go so. What we ask has to be ACCORDING TO GOD’S WILL. Stop leaving out the other part of that verse.
WHEN YOU THINK you’re getting what you want but it goes against God’s Word, know that the devil gives those who choose to obey him what they desire. So stop disrespecting God by thanking Him for what He wasn’t involved in. Ever heard a music artist first thanking God for their award win but they are singing about violence, thug life, etc. - it’s mockery.
THERE’S ANOTHER PLACE - HELL for those who are ashamed of God (rolling up their eyes getting irritated by others who speak about Him but would give a thousand likes on social media and entertain the same rubbish every day), who are unrepentant of their sin, disobedient to God, and refuse to accept Christ as the Son of God. Can’t get to God unless accepting His Son.
WHO IS YOUR ALLEGIANCE TO? God, family, friends, the world, gang leader/members, the devil?
THE ANSWER is in your thoughts, words, actions, etc. and whether you’re concerned with being accepted by others instead of God.
CAN’T EXPECT to be wearing symbols with guns, liking/promoting music videos/songs with guns, violence, and slackness, only remembering God when it suits you while living for the world, and say you love God.
MAKE TIME EACH DAY to think about your life and if God would be pleased with the things you’re doing. Would it be acceptable in Heaven? Read your Bible, spend some time alone in prayer, and get on the right path to letting God lead you - not satan and this world.
STOP FOLLOWING THESE INFLUENCERS. YOU’RE IDOLIZING THEM. THAT INCLUDES THOSE PASTORS WHO CHOOSE TO HAVE ONE FOOT IN THE CHURCH AND THE OTHER FOLLOWING THE WAYS OF THE WORLD.
LET GOD AND HIS WORD GUIDE YOU.
IDLE HANDS ARE THE DEVIL’S WORKSHOP; IDLE LIPS ARE HIS MOUTHPIECE. An evil man sows strife; gossip separates the best of friends. Wickedness loves company and leads others into sin. Proverbs 16:27-29
WISE UP PEOPLE.
Parents you have a HUGE role to play as well. Unless you have honestly tried your best, and you will know that from your heart. Stop giving your child(ren) these heavy chain before they could even talk and walk. Help them to aspire to something greater than all this vanity and materialistic gains. It will profit them nothing, but their soul. Stop training them to be bullies and warsome people. Sometimes, your child is also very different around you. Look for the changes and speak to them with love and most importantly ask God to guide and protect them. Fathers, I know some of you are great and try hard, but please try to settle down and stop allowing all kind of people to raise your picknees, this too plays a big influence. Further is you are living a thug life, remember your sons and daughters are looking up to you, so be very careful what you teach them from your lifestyle alone. Blessings to the youths,,,all is not lost until you take your final breath, but be careful bc whoever your Master is, he will be happy to embrace you.

The bvi love has been thrown to the pigs,trampled ,bastardized and desecrated.

We should not allow ourselves to be divided. Our real enemy is the foreigners who are coming to take over our country and enslave us. The White Lady should not influence us into the desire to kill each other. There is enough resources here for everyone to earn a living, let us do not inflict pain and suffering on our fellow men.
It is a very special breed of real folks who were once enslaved and in chains ,selling their lives,a cheap commodity for them, in exchange for chains and proudly wear them in bulk around their necks as evidence of self enslavement of their mind soul and body.
Never work a day in them life yet have multiple lavish stuff. Well I wish all of them the best. This island have is over with.
Why cant the United Kingdom send a fleet of ships to contribute to the disruption of the drugs and ammunition into this territory
those we elect to deal with the development of the country must stand up and speak up on these matters
We needs help because we are in any position to properly safe guard 200 nautical miles
Long ago immigrations use to do random checks not they are letting those in the country roam without fear of repatriation.
