Every carnival season in my country, I always get a word from God.This carnival was no different.I took a job to collect people from our airport and drop them off to their hotels.It was a good hustle but the spirit of God do not sleep and I couldn't help the thought that evaded my mind,thinking of all these people coming to our shores to be at their worst behaviour. Enjoyable! Yes! But their conversations betrayed their want of serious drink ,drunkenness to the max, sex,wild parties and as one put it "to party hard as the last day on earth."
Here they were in the airport,some half naked,ready and set to enjoy the moment of freedom the season offers, to indulge in acts that is surely not pure or pleasing to God our Father. How did we move from a Carnival filled with creativity, innovation and fun ?
I am not against Carnival as what God makes is always Good.This here is another example, how we as people turn what is good to something that leads to self-indulge,self- bondage and death.On the surface, it all looks good and not all the persons who come to partake in the festival seeks the wrong stuff. I will be wrong to judge anyone,but the word of God cannot be denied.
The truth is the love of money and self is the root of all evil,the greed and the yearning of the desire of the flesh exposes us.We lose self control and what was in the dark comes out.The lessons of the Israelite will forever be an example to us all.
THE WORD:
Hosea 4:1-3: Israelites, hear what Yahweh says, for Yahweh indicts the citizens of the country: there is no loyalty, no faithful love, no knowledge of God in the country, only perjury and lying, murder, theft, adultery and violence, bloodshed after bloodshed. This is why the country is in mourning and all its citizens pining away, the wild animals also and the birds of the sky, even the fish in the sea will disappear.
O take heed little country and seek the lord while he is to be found.These exact words fall in our garden for even the dead animals on the side of the road has increase.
Have mercy on us Lord we pray. Amen
