Your God, whatever you conceive God to be, allows volcanoes, destructive hurricanes and politicians to impact the lives of Montserratians. God allows plane crashes and wars; and he will allow war of words among Montserrat politicians for this election campaign. So do not worry, be patient with one another; Montserrat is in Safe Hands with God, the God of Truth and Love.
God has always allowed twenty or more candidates to contest our ‘ni-nex’ system of electioneering; and God will cause nine persons to win the election in September 2014. So whether you are a candidate or a voter, don’t worry! Do your thing; and enjoy yourself. Election-day results have been fore-ordained. Everything has already been approved by your God.
God approves politics… and politicians too! After all, God made all politicians, good or evil, in his own image. And when politicians are no longer necessary to manage earthly affairs, God will allow something different. In the meantime, be merry, vote for the candidates of your choice. But please know this…. There is no need to worry, for indeed Your God has ‘Safe Hands’ and He knows the most suitable candidates for his program at this time in Montserrat’s history.
Know this; all things wise and wonderful, or not so wise or wonderful God made them all. God chose David the shepherd boy from the pasture to kill Goliath. God raised Samson and then allowed Delilah to trick him even to his death. God allowed Satan the snake to deceive Eve and Cain to kill his brother. God allowed the sons of Jacob to sell their brother Joseph into slavery. God chose the murderer Moses to lead his people away from Pharaoh. Your God always has a plan. And for sure he will allow Montserratians to have their leader, as always. So don’t worry, it will work itself out in perfect accordance with the requirements for your God’s Safe Hands.
Do not debate what God allows. The recent political history of Montserrat will show that God allowed politicians to pay back to Montserratians their ‘Provided Fund’ contributions before they reached the age of retirement. And God allowed politicians to set up a pension scheme for themselves, so that they could have more money after they lose an election or leave political office. In fact God always allow politicians to set their own rules for their own benefit, such as very high salaries and allowances, tax free pensions and health insurance for life. And, remember this; do not try to understand what God allows.
In the past Montserrat chose Willie, Austin, and John to lead; Bene, who is now called Goliath, Bert, Dave, who was called the people’s chief or Samson the heavy roller, and Lowell called the doc were allowed their time to lead as well. God allowed them all to lead; but He kept Montserrat Safe in His Hands. Do not worry! The combined actions of Montserrat past leaders over the last 60 years could not compare with the activity caused in one night by Hurricane Hugo. Don’t worry about the outcome of the elections; because no matter who becomes the new leader, the next five years will be like a walk in the park. Five years with the next leader will not impact Montserratians very much when compared with the impact the volcano will have had in twenty two years.
Montserratians, there is still much to smile about! Be of good cheer; and enjoy this election campaign. The leader for Montserrat has already been approved… and your God allowed it. Believe it or not, Montserrat will be in Safe Hands with your God. Seek the pathway of Truth for your short life on earth; do good deeds, love One Another and Give Thanks!
This has been a paid political statement!
