HAITI : THE TRAGEDY CONTINUES AS RELIGIOUS TENSIONS RISE


Article by M J Smith,  from link (submitted by James)

‘In the aftermath of destruction people are turning to what they know best. For some it’s their ancestral voodoo religion, and for others it’s the church. This is but a microcosm of what a future world disaster will entail. As you read this article think about the forces that are already taking shape. “RELIGIOUS TENSIONS RISING” says the report, As if all the suffering and pain was not enough.
Haiti society appears to be fracturing along religious lines. While we might rejoice that many have found refuge in Christianity. I am not totally persuaded that they have found refuge in Christ. So the question remains will we see a futile religious war erupt with more kidnapping and violence? As people jostle for converts and religious power, who will come forth?
“HAITIAN VOODOO LEADER VOWS ‘WAR’ AFTER ATTACK ON CEREMONY
Haiti’s supreme voodoo leader vowed “war” on Wednesday after Evangelicals attacked a ceremony organized by his religion honoring those killed in last month’s massive earthquake THE ATTACK ON TUESDAY IN THE CAPITAL’S SPRAWLING CITE SOLEIL SLUM CAME WITH RELIGIOUS TENSIONS RISING, AS PROTESTANT EVANGELICALS AND OTHER DENOMINATIONS RECRUIT IN THE WAKE OF THE EARTHQUAKE THAT KILLED MORE THAN 200,000.
Some of those who have converted have said they did so because they believed God caused the earthquake.
“It will be war — open war,” Max Beauvoir, supreme head of Haitian voodoo, told AFP in an interview at his home and temple outside the capital.
“It’s unfortunate that at this moment where everybody’s suffering that they have to go into war. But if that is what they need, I think that is what they’ll get.”
The quake also left more than a million homeless and left much of the capital and surrounding areas in this Caribbean nation of more than nine million in ruins.
Police said a pastor urged followers to attack the ceremony, resulting in a crowd of people throwing rocks at the voodoo followers.
Rosemond Aristide, police inspector in Cite Soleil, said he has since spoken with the pastor, who agreed to allow voodoo ceremonies to take place there. However, Aristide could not explain why no arrests were made nor provide further details. Beauvoir claimed the Protestant Evangelicals attacked the ceremony along with other people they hired, causing a number of injuries.
He also accused Evangelical denominations of using post-quake aid supplies such as food and medicine to try to “buy souls.”
“I would like to see each one of them tied up in ropes and thrown in the sea, and I hope the best of them will be able to catch a plane and run away and leave in peace,” the voodoo priest said.
“Because this is what we need right now — peace.”
Asked whether he would encourage voodoo followers to respond with the same kind of violence, Beauvoir said he would.
“They have not been aggressors,” he said of voodooists. “I think they are aggressed (attacked), and they will have to answer with the same type of aggression. I don’t mean for (Evangelicals) to die. I am not out to kill them.”
About half of Haiti’s population is believed to practice voodoo in some form, though many are thought to also follow other religious beliefs at the same time. The religion — whose practitioners often use the vodou spelling as opposed to the Westernized version — is deeply rooted in Haitian culture.
A voodoo priest named Boukman has been credited with setting off the country’s slave rebellion in the late 18th century, which eventually led to the creation of the world’s first black republic.
But Evangelicals have been making inroads in Haiti lately.
One Evangelical priest in the middle-class Port-au-Prince suburb of Petionville claimed on Wednesday that more than 200 people had come to his church to convert after the January 12 quake.
“They say that God struck the country,” said Sainvoyus Raymond of the First Baptist Church of Petionville, adding that some of those who converted were previously voodooists.
Raymond, however, condemned the attack in Cite Soleil, saying violence should not be condoned and anyone was free to worship in whatever way they chose.
Asked whether he believed the quake was a result of voodoo being practiced in the country, Raymond said no.
He said instead that the disaster was God’s response to all evil in Haiti, including violence and kidnapping.”

Man Builds Modern Day Ark...

Mr Yohan who lives Dordrecht, 1hr drive outside Amsterderm, up in the Nertherlands is almost completing the building of an exact replica of Noah's ark. He said he had a scary dream that there was a flood and then he had the IDEA to build an ark. When he was asked by Janet Shamlian of Today.com, if he could escape a flood in that, He said 'NO, I DON'T THINK SO'.

Is it that this man has a lot of money to throw around, or that he wants his name in the history books? If he does not think this is a God plan to escape flood, then why build it?

I believe the message God sent to him in the dream should have had a better response than a response of building an ark out of fear.

I need your honest comments on this...Pls respond

Nurturing and administration of the prophetic ministry in the local church and beyond.



We cannot over emphasize the prophetic ministry and the operations of the gift of prophesy in the local church today. Though there is a big misconception of this whole thing but thank God, the truth is coming out again. A lot of people have shut down the prophetic in their midst because of the fact that false prophets are gaining a good ground. Well, let me tell you that not all those you call false prophets are false. They are just immature and untrained. This has made the world full of wounded prophetic vessels who now hate the church. Yes, the church has dealt them a big blow. This must stop.
I believe this is the season for the prophetic to rise again and take its rightful place in the church. The gift of prophesy is an important gift of the Holy Spirit. I also believe that this is the last days that the prophet Joel prophesied about in the book of Joel chapter 2 verse 28.
