Greetings in the name of my Master, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Today man has decided he does not need God in his life to tell him what to do or how to live, but in the beginning it was not so. Today children don’t obey parents, most parents don’t obey authority and man doesn’t obey God.
GENESIS 3, verse 1: Now the serpent was more subtle (clever) than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (Do you really believe God said that?).
Verse 2: And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the garden:
Verse 3: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Verse 4: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Verse 5: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Verse 6: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also to her husband, and he did eat. (The word is fruit, not sex, most people kept saying it was sex; the Bible said fruit). Say what God say, not what man says.
Verse, 7: And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Before they disobeyed God they were not ashamed to be naked. After they disobeyed, they became ashamed. That’s just like you and I. When some of us are tempted we never call on God first, it’s after we have sinned, and that’s when we call on him.
Man/woman don’t want God in their life, but the minute he/she gets into trouble they call on God, not knowing that if he/she is not living for God he isn’t going to answer them.
If you are not living your life for God through his son Jesus, there is no need to praise, thank or call on him, etc, because he is not going to answer you. You must be born again for God to answer you.
JOHN 3, verse 3: Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jesus Christ is the bridge to God; we cannot go to God on our own. We are too filthy (dirty). Man does not find God, for God is not lost. God finds man because man is lost. The end is near my people.
1 THESSALONIANS, 5:2 – For yourself know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh upon them as a thief in the night. (Death is a thief, it comes when we least expect).
Verse, 3 – For when they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail (pain) upon a woman with child and they shall not escape.
So my friends if you are not living your life for Christ, now is the time to repent of your sins and start your new life for God.
My friend the time is at hand let Christ into your life. May God through his son Christ Jesus keep blessing Dominica.

You said that you are not the same as me. I tend to agree with you, because we all have different attitude and conducts in the flesh. But God bonds people by His nature, Love–His actual Being of Spirit and Truth. When God binds us by His Love we become One in the Body of Jesus Christ–the Church–the group of people who come together to worship God is supposed to represent the Body of Jesus–His Bride to be. The majority of us just do not demonstrate that we know that.
The song says: “We are one in the Spirit; and they will know we are Christians by our Love”. You and I may be different in many ways. but I perceive that we one, in Jesus Christ with the mind of Spirit and Truth, even if we live across the waters from each other. The fact that you so often commend my posts, as I also, receive yours as if I was speaking those words myself, is evidence of that truth.
I would like to say the same about a few more commentators on DNO, but then people change their identity quite often and the comments are too imbalanced. I would hate to have to eat my words. But I believe that the majority of us are still God fearing people, and at His time, God will deliver us from our insensitiveness of Him and His Ways.
@Blue: Stop being judgemental.. The issue is not Sunday or Saturday’s worship. The man is spreading the good news. Why don’t you join and together we must win some folks for the glory of the Father. We do know that some persons makes this an issue but let come together to preach the good news to the poor. Tell prisoners that they are prisoners no more,. I can see that you are a spritual man but hey let us not make the days of the week be a problem for working together. The sabath was not made for man but man for the sabath. We let religion divide us too much just as politics. We are the body of Christ.. Let us come together and preach that the Lamb and Son died for our sins and we need to repent. let us push together for the great rivival for the Glory of our Father. No matter when is the Sabath which can be Sunday , Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturdayetc as long as the day is to glorify the Creator. Isn’t he worthy to be praised every day? food for thought. Even in the New testament the different churches or states had their different cultures – Ephesian, Romans, Corinthians. in one of the Churches, because of their custom, it was advised that women should not speak but only the men should. Remember the custom was such there. NB even today some men uses this as a weapon to fight women who preach the word. There is nowhere that Christ himself said those words. So let us all (Women, Man , Child (Solomon became King when he was a very young man, a mere boy) work in one accord on the important thing which is salvation to all and sundry since the Father does not want not one of us to perish. Let us be humble.
@Anonymous: Yes when we fight over the trivial things then we are missing the real point of loving one another and working together for the glory of our Heavenly Father.
@Blue: Hi I had to read the article 3 times since I thought that I was missing on something here. In this article there is no talk about Sunday or Saturday. Why is it that some persons twists thing so they can criticise. Some persons always criticise and now it is becoming worse that our people are hitting at the Lords annointed ones. If the pastor is wrong or doing anything that is not bringing glory to our Father, then he will answer. He is going to be judged just like you and I.
I wish to quote from Amor above.
Romans 14:5
“One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind.”Colossians 2:16-17 “Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day–things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.”. Let us not make our country be cursed for not obeying our Father. Let us all come together and respect the words and message of our Heavenly Father. We were all born sinners and all us of us have sinned and come short of the glory of the Father. Let us turn from our wicked ways and repent and stop slandering and vilifying our Pastors. We are now asking for trouble when we start on that road. We must seek the Father’s face all of us in one accord and not make little things distance us from the Fathers grace and mercy.
Pastor Rawlins Pacquette continue to do the job that you have been called upon to do. Continue to spread the good news that Our Faher sent his son to die for our sins and we have to obey our Father. People pls take note.
According to the young people – “Haters” stop twisting and making comments that are not in line with what the article is talking about. We say certain things out of context many times . Let us love one another as our Father have loved us and only them we will comment objectively and stop pointing fingers at others instead of ourselves. Let us come together in one love and one accord to serve the one true Father and heal our nation of the ills that we are facing right now.
Some of us dwell on petty issues like Sunday worship ….but we seem to miss the point of the article! Always the case. Fight over the unimportant things, instead of working for God
Any way that doesn’t mean we have to go about breaking the Comandments and thinking it is not necessary to keep them cause in John 14, verse 21, Jesus said, -“He who has My Commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”,As i have said lets pray and allow the holy spirit to guide us.
Romans 14:5
“One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind.”Colossians 2:16-17 “Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day–things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.”.
The Bible makes it clear that you can only be saved by God’s grace by putting your faith in the sacrifice of Jesus not in your own righteous deeds. The Scriptures assert that all have sinned and are guilty before God. No amount of Commandment keeping can save you because Commandment keeping cannot remove sin nor the penalty of committing sin. So it is clear that all people are in need of a Savior to save them for they cannot save themselves from the penalty and judgment of Hell. Without salvation a person is literally on death row awaiting execution.Hey people lets just pray and let the holy spirit guide us.
@Blue: Every time Pastor Rawls Pacquette honors Sunday as God’s appointed day of worship and teaches his congregation to do so, he is in fact disobeying God. Sp Pastor check your self first. So Pastor the same Bible that you quote from says “3- And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4- Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5- Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” (Matthew 7:3-5)
It is amazing how some Pastors who talk about disobedience are themselves disobedient to God. Sin which is disobedience to God is defined by the Bible as Transgression of God’s Laws. All those Pastors including you Pastor Pacquette who honor Sunday as your day of worship are disobeying God and teaching your congregations to disobey. Now do not give me that common response by the Sunday Pastors that the Law is abolished. You can find no scripture in the Bible suggesting that the Law (Ten Commandments) are abolished because after all why do you preach against fornication and murder, and theft, and idolatry. If the Law is abolished then there is no such thing as sin ( Romans 4:15) and people are free to do as they wish. When the Sunday preachers like you say the Law is abolished, you are only referring to one of the Ten Commandments; the fourth which deals with the day of worship. Sunday worship was instituted by Pope Constantine instead of the true day of worship Saturday and by honoring Sunday you are honoring Constantine and Rome and not God. Isn’t that being disobedient?
Ezekiel 22:26 clearly describes those Pastors who honor the Roman Catholic church instituted Sunday. You as a Pastor must stop blinding your congregations by misleading them with untruths and start obeying the true God because as it stands, those of you who worship on Sunday are disobeying God and obeying the dictates of those who are carrying out the devil agenda.
I dare you the next time you write a next article, to show DNO readers the biblical support for your worshiping on Sunday.
Amos 3:7, Surely Yahweh will do nothing, but he revealeth his secrets unto his servants the prophets.
Hosea5:15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge thieir offence,and seek my face;in their affliction they will seek me early.`
Eze 14:13-14 when the land sinneth against me by trepassing grievously, then I will stretch out my hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it: 14 Though these three men,Noah,Daniel, and Job were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith Yahweh. Psalm 89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the things that is gone out of my lips.
