Today, thousands of residents from various backgrounds are marching through the streets of St. John’s, Antigua, as part of a special day dedicated to praying for the country.
The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party, led by Gaston Browne in collaboration with various denominations, organized the day to petition God to address the recent surge in criminal activities in land
Residents worked half a day to participate in this event, braved the city’s scorching heat, and sang popular religious songs.
While all this is well and good, the good book states that prayer(faith) without works is dead. I pray to see the multitude put in the work after today.
I am in agreement with you Lisa
A day of Prayer is waste of time. Because the churches in Antigua are full of pride. The scriptures tell us If my people who are called by my name, will HUMBLE themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. The leaders are still planning Carnival for next year, a sinful event that does not glorify God in anyway. So we are regarding sin in our heart, how can he hear us. So many denominations with this one claiming to preach the truth, while the other bashes another. Nothing is going to change. But we are thankful for the mercies of God.
Let’s couple that faith with works and get Antigua back to her peaceful welcoming self.
One day Christian…dem ah one day Christian…six days a week they do all kinda wrong…All I saw was hypocrocy in St John’s. The same people in the streets praying for the nation against violence full of all kinds of sins. Some sleeping with married men, some have spirit of lust, some women committing adultery…some of them hate their neighbours…some are drunkards…some plotting evil on their bed. Clean your hearts then wheel and come again and pray for the nation.
