The richest people on earth are those who invest their lives in God's way. -The Brotha
"Thee Lion of Judah will not sleep forever." -Unknown
We as Believers of the Abrahamic faiths and those of us that are righteous and moral people of the planet regardless of religious title, creed, color, race, sex, or gender have allowed this current system of things to overtake our "moral courage" and "moral aptitude," to say the least and have conceded with the trends and fads of our time. We are too busy trying to be politically correct or not to offend versus having the moral grit to say "Thus said the Lord or simply say "That just ain't right!." We must get rooted in God's Kingdom, we must get rooted back in moral righteousness and moral human decency, which is not of this current system of things. "We must get rid of the plague of the spirit of this religious age in which we live." Also, we must get rid of the plague of the spirit of this age that allows us to tolerate behaviors and ways that are immoral and indecent in all of it's forms--things that we know that just do not sit well with The Creator or universal order of things. The fiery biblical writer James said it best "don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God."
The masses of the worlds peoples are crying out and the time has come--for we are truly at war to save ourselves and help usher in God's New World Order. A New World Order of moral righteousness and moral human decency that all people can enjoy and thrive under. Yes, as individual communities of race, creed, gender, sex and color we have similarities, differences and issues that are unique to our individual groups. For example the mass incarceration of the proverbial Black male, aka "Predator," or as Michelle Alexander puts it being labeled with a "stigma of criminality," which means "young + black + male" has torn the African American community apart almost
single-handedly over the past twenty years. If we as Black people do not realize the ills of society that plague us individually then we will never understand collectively how these things affect and effect the entire planet and universe as a whole. Of course there are problems that we can only solve among ourselves but we must never loose site that we also share this planet and universe because there is a universal order of things. So we must respect and obey its order. Our role as the original and future standard bearers of this planet and universe must not come to fruition like those among us whom have ruled, controlled, dominated, and destroyed the planet and its peoples. We must never repeat the shameful offensive history and invoke the same disgraceful, deceptive, and degrading tactics of control and domination. In order to achieve the standard of living that is due we must take off the old man and put on the new man and be made new in the attitude of our minds which will change our condition overnight!
As the great apostle and Scriptural writer Paul said to the Romans "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." We can sleep no longer as the time has come for us as a people to awaken because the current context of this world is out of order and we are the chosen one's whom can set it back on its proper course. We must separate the ways of God and righteous morals and decent behaviors from the evil and corrupt ways of this world. However we seem to get fearful of separation because it means we have to give up the things and ways we are accustom to. We have gotten accustomed to or have integrated into the evil and corrupt ways of this world, not on the bases of making something whole or unified but under the guise of rule, control, and domination by those whom have been in power. And although we as Black people are out of the bondage of chattel slavery and have made great strides as a people--the slavery of our minds, reigns today. The time for integration through separation has come "Black people are the only group in America trying to force themselves on others. Other ethnicities such as the Chinese, the Irish, the Mexicans, the Greeks, the Italians, the Koreans and the Jewish people all have enclaves where they live together and provide goods and services to one another and outsiders." All of these groups are segregated among themselves but have integrated with the universe on the bases of brotherhood, sisterhood, family-hood and nationhood which has promoted a high standard of living and ensures their survival as a people. They have earned and gained the respect, business acumen, and moral compass that all people should have and it is not looked upon as a bad or divisive, that they "Do for self," "Accept their Own" and "Be themselves!"
“We have got to do it ourselves and if we don't have the mind and the spirit to bring ourselves out of the condition that we are in, then we deserve whatever chastisement Allah (God) will bring upon us for our refusal to accept our responsibility.” -H.M. Farrakhan

ASA Bro. Dubie:
A very thoughtful post brother. We are indeed at war.
So many of us are blinded by the stuff of life yet we remain empty while most people struggle from moment to moment.
This time brings a realization to those who would have believed that we could live for stuff forever.
We can't and that is why the capital world order is failing.
We need to heed the stories and teachings of those who taught faith, love, and humanity.
Thank you for making me think my brother. And thank you for always pressing the right way even when times are hard.
Peace and blessings brother.
Onward!
Ridwan
