VI embarking on National Repentance Week from Sept 13-19, 2021
The week will include seven days of prayer and fasting, 24-hour Prayer Circles for the Territory, daily prayers and scripture readings on local radio stations and mid-week services on Tortola, Anegada, Virgin Gorda, and Jost van Dyke.
Virgin Islands Premier and Minister of Finance, Honorable Andrew A. Fahie (R1) said the week of National Repentance comes on the heels of the 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting as the people of the Virgin Islands continues to petition the creator to keep to and protect the territory in difficult times.
Event Coordinator, Pastor Dr Joycelyn Hoyte explained that the purpose of the week is for the territory to understand God’s view of sin and God’s view of what is evil.
“As a country, we claim that we are a Christian nation. If we are a Christian nation, we are supposed to be a nation ruled under God,” she said.
Repentance is an lifestyle change - Dr Hoyte
Dr Hoyte continued, “Repentance is not an event; it is a lifestyle change - a change where we will see persons, instead of turning to their own desires, they turn to the Lord,” she added, “We are calling the nation to repent because there are consequences. We should feel national guilt and understand in God’s sight, sin will be punished, and righteousness exalts a nation,” she said.
The week will culminate on Sunday, September 19, National Repentance Day, with a drive-in service at 3:30 p.m. at the Festival Grounds in Road Town, Tortola—as well as at the Crossroad in Anegada, the Walters’ Recreational Park on Virgin Gorda and the grounds of the Albert Chinnery Administration Building on Jost van Dyke, simultaneously.
A release from the government information service noted that persons are being encouraged to contact their home church for more information.
The events will also be streamed Live on the Government Facebook page on Wednesday, September 15 at midday and on Sunday, September 19 at 3:30 p.m., and members House of Assembly from both sides of the aisle are expected to attend.

It’s a clever story because it gives the poor people hope and gives them a reason to be happy while being exploited .
Many fools believed the story
But of course it is just a story.
The Word of God clearly states "the fool has said in his heart there is no god". "Wisdom is the principal thing." "Therefore in all your getting, get Wisdom and get Understanding".
Did you ever read the bible for yourself? It also says that "there is no male or female..." "for ye are all one in Christ Jesus". People like to quote parts of the bible to support their interpretations and for the purpose of division. God is also not the author of confusion.
The words repentance is an action word. It means to change direction (a 360 degrees turn) away from a flesh-centered selfish practices to a life of selflessness.
Until then, it is no more than useless exercises.
But if we truely desire positive changes that guarantee our successed, genuine repentance is a must.
True repentance will reconnect with God and our neighbors. True repentance will enable us to do all that we possibly can to help ourselves and others. True repentance will cause us to prioritized God's commandments. It includes, I pray for your good. You pray for my good. I withhold not good from you. You withhold not good from me. I Rob you not of your possession. You rob me not of mine possessions, etc., etc., etc. Anyless is uselessness. Pray on in faith believing, in Jesus name.Amen.
(Stop accepting advices, and performing the will of false pretenders for theirs personal material lust.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people who are call by my name will humble themselves, pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land.
May God continue to Bless us. Amen
Prayers for all in VI!
Same sh** different day....The vaccine story.
