OR the first time in its history, the Jehovah Witness Convention will relocate from its traditional building and into cyberspace.

The 2020 convention that seeks to show people how to sustain their joy in difficult times will be streamed on the organisation’s website.

The “Always Rejoice!”

Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses answers questions like: What contributes to finding and sustaining joy? How can you cultivate joy in the family?

BY JEFFARAH How can you remain joyful in difficult times?

The final weekend of the virtual event is scheduled for August 29-30.

A portion of the convention’s programme is dedicated to families and how each member can contribute to joy in the household.

For the past 30 years, the Jehovah’s Witnesses have enjoyed gathering at various centres and venues around the world, however, due to the spread of COVID-19 and restrictions on gatherings, organisers decided to make the annual convention a virtual one.

Here in The Bahamas, the convention was scheduled to be held during the months of June and July in English and in Haitian Creole at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on Edmund Street in New ProviROBERT HENDRIKS, US dence, and, in spokesman for Jehovah’s Freeport at the Witnesses.

Pandemic forces Jehovah’s Witnesses to move annual convention online GIBSON | TRIBUNE FEATURES WRITER | JGIBSON@TRIBUNEMEDIA.NET

“As much as we long to meet together, life is far too precious to put at risk.” the current pandemic.

“Our worship is centered on our mutual love for our God and for each other, irrespective of where we are physically,” said Robert Hendriks, US spokesman for the Jehovah’s Witnesses. “This year’s convention programme underscores the unity of our international family and the joy that people can have against a backdrop of stress and despair.”

The organisation has also made the decision to cancel all gatherings this year out of concern for the health and safety of the local communities.

The two Christian principles guiding this decision by the Witnesses are respect for the sanctity of life and love of neighbour.

“As much as we long to meet together, life is far too precious to put at risk,” said Mr Hendriks.

“The virtual meetings we have held over the past four months have proved to all of us that it’s not about where we are physically. It’s about where we are spiritually. In many ways we are closer as a spiritual family than ever before.”

Even those who are not Jehovah’s Witnesses have benefitted from the attending the event over the years, he said.

There are more than 8.6 million active Witnesses worldwide, yet the 2019 conventions had a peak attendance of more than 14 million. With the programme available online in hundreds of languages, the organisation believes this year will be the most attended convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses to date.

Those interested in viewing the convention can access the programme on the website www.jw.org.

HERE is nothing like the COVID-19 pandemic to get us all thinking about sickness, healing and death.

We hear rising numbers in some countries and flattening curves in others. Who would have thought that in our lifetime this would have been our experience!

Perhaps those who know their medical history may have predicted the possibility of the hundred year pattern, or those who believe in biblical prophecy may think that it is time for revival and repentance. Whatever you think, it is time for you to make some faith decisions, about life, death and after-life. If you personally meet God your Creator, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit, your approach to everything will change to some degree. Consider what a healing God can do for you in God’s way and time.

Types of healing

1. Healing the body: If you spend time in the hospital at all, you see evidence of more people recovering than dying in our country. Even though we have many health issues,

by God’s grace we seem to be able to overcome the odds in a number of cases. The current teaching on building immunity and managing pre-existing ailments (that can contribute to death from COVID-19) is just what we needed to pay closer attention to our potential for nutritional suicide. We are “killing ourselves with our knives and forks” is a much used phrase in the region.

As the Anglican Hospital Chaplain, I see miracles happen every day. Not everyone recovers, but often it is totally unexpected in some rather severe cases. It is simply amazing to see people move from the Intensive Care Unit to a ward and then home, when we thought that perhaps the undertaker was going to have to be called.

The Bible offers many such stories of what Jesus did during his ministry on earth. Every disease was challenged though not everyone everywhere was automatically healed. He revealed the power of God and the plan of God, and called us to be obedient and faithful.

Sometimes, we bring illness

RELIGION

MEDITATION TOTAL HEALING

BY REV ANGELA C BOSFIELD PALACIOUS

“Consider what a healing God can do for you in God’s way and time.” on ourselves and we see the result of disobedience and laziness to take warnings seriously.

At other times, we have made every effort to be wise and are very health conscious, and yet stress, genetics, and insidious pollution may cause us to become sick, all the same. Are you doing your best to protect

your body while avoiding negative thoughts, feelings and actions that may cause psychosomatic illness in the long run?

2. Healing the mind: This is where healing of the mind and the emotions is so important.

Through no fault of our own, we may have come to develop

a negative self-image and find it difficult to love ourselves.

Jesus Christ is our healer in this regard as well, and it is not unusual to see whole countenances change during healing prayer.

You see the Christ-light flood people’s souls, bringing them to a place of peaceful faith and joyful hope. Do you need this light in your life?

3. Healing the spirit: For some, the wounds go even deeper and began even earlier. They might be dealing with generational sins, or pre-birth trauma as their mothers were subjected to prolonged abuse, and their birth caused even more distress in the home. These persons may have felt unloved or unwanted all of their lives. They might have been abused in various ways (physically, sexually, mentally).

God is able to set us free, and a loving supportive community can go a long way in helping such people to discover how lovable they are, as they look at the cross, and the love on the faces all around them. How has your spirit been wounded?

4. Healing of memories: This might involve forgiving oneself, someone else, society or some other source of haunting nightmares that come from personal experiences. These might be deeply buried, controlling the individual or on the surface, and resulting in antisocial behavior

THE TRIBUNE and self-harm. Memories can be healed and the God of grace is able to give us a clean page on which to write the stories of our lives. Even persons struggling with addictions have been known to be set free from the behavior, and the memories that accompany use of mind-altering substances. From what memories do you need to be healed?

5. Healing of relationships: Many of us have seen reconciliation occur in situations that seemed totally irreconcilable, even as we have seen others that were not. However, prayer, counselling, forgiveness, healing and even deliverance have proven to bring timetested relief to a good number of people. In some situations, the lockdowns are horrific (let us keep such persons in our prayers), while for others it has created the home into a place of harmony. What are you learning about your relationships and what do you think God is directing you to do?

6. Healing of finances: This pandemic has certainly revealed just how many people live from hand to mouth and are just one paycheck away from the poverty line. Our hearts break as we see persons, who are so willing and eager to work, laid off by the economic crisis. This is our action call to share and give, to help and support as never before in our lifetime. Hopefully, our attitude to material things, to saving even in a cookie jar, to wise financial planning and money management will shift, as we teach the next generation what the post-war generation tried to teach the older ones of us. What can we learn from all of this and what can we teach?

God has a word for us when it comes to the healing of our finances as well.

Conclusion Where do we go from here?

By the grace of God, we can move forward, wiser, more prayerful, more disciplined, and more balanced. Let COVID-19 be the motivator to live your best life yet.

The Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV), “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

We obtain God’s amazing grace through our faith and humility before Him. Opportunities and possibilities might suddenly become available to us, not because of anything we might have done but due to God’s favour. John 1:16 tells us “and of his fullness of all we received, and grace for grace.”

At the heart of God’s amazing grace is the concept of salvation. We are sinners by nature. “For all have sinned, and come

RELIGION short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) Fortunately, even a “wretch” can enjoy a close personal relationship with God because of our Creator’s magnanimity and amazing grace. Irrespective of the sins that one may have committed, the message of forgiveness and redemption are possible. Lost souls may be rescued because of God’s mercy. This is the essence of the idea of amazing grace.

Hebrews 4:16 admonishes us “let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Our Creator opens the door to us to seek Him with boldness as we pursue grace and mercy. As individuals, we have no excuse or justification for not being saved when salvation is so freely available.

It is important that we not forget God’s love for us. Paul wrote in Romans 5:8: “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” This is reinforced by John 3:16 (KJV) “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

We are only here for a season. The curtain will eventually come down on us all.

(James 4:14). Salvation is critical before it becomes too late.

Oh what a blessing we enjoy in terms

of God’s amazing grace. Our sins are forgiven and we can commence a new chapter in our lives. No matter the magnitude of our past mistakes and errors, we can repent and start over again. Romans

How the Buddha became a Christian saint

By PHILIP C ALMOND Emeritus Professor in the History of Religious Thought The University of Queensland FROM the 11th century onwards, the Legend of Barlaam and Josaphat enjoyed a popularity in the medieval West attained perhaps by no other legend. It was available in over 60 versions in the main languages of Europe, the Christian East and Africa. It was most familiar to English leaders from its inclusion in William Caxton’s 1483 translation of the Golden Legend.

Little did European readers know that the story they loved of the life of Saint Josaphat was in fact that of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, the founder of Buddhism.

The ascetic life According to the legend, there reigned in India a king called Abenner, immersed in the pleasures of the world. When the king had a son, Josaphat, an astrologer predicted he would forsake the world.

To forestall this outcome, the king ordered a city to be built for his son from which were excluded poverty, disease, old age and death.

But Josaphat made journeys outside of the city where he encountered, on one occasion, a blind man and a horribly deformed one and, on another occasion, an old man weighed down by illness.

He realised the impermanence of all things: “No longer is there any sweetness in this transitory life now that I have seen these things (…)Gradual and sudden death are in league together.”

While experiencing this spiritual crisis, the sage Barlaam from Sri Lanka reached Josaphat and told him of the rejection of worldly pursuits and the acceptance of the Christian ideal of the ascetic life.

Prince Josaphat was converted to Christianity and began to practise the ideal of the spiritual life of poverty, simplicity and devotion to God.

SCENES from the Story of Jehosophat from the Bible. Augsburg, G Zainer, circa 1475. (Harvard Art Museums/Fogg Museum, Gift of Paul J Sachs) To forestall his quest, his father surrounded him with seductive maidens who “tantalised him with every kind of temptation with which they sought to arouse his appetites”.

Josaphat resisted them all.

After the death of his father, Josaphat remained determined to continue his ascetic life and abdicated the throne. He journeyed to Sri Lanka in search of Barlaam.

After a quest lasting two years, Josaphat found Barlaam living in the mountains and joined him there in a life of asceticism until his death.

A great saint Barlaam and Josaphat were included in the calendars of saints in both the Western and Eastern churches. By the 10th century, they were included in the calendars of the Eastern churches, and by the end of the 13th century in those of the Catholic church.

In the book we know as The Travels of Marco Polo, published around the year 1300, Marco gave the West its first account of the life

of the Buddha. He declared that — were the Buddha a Christian — “he would have been a great saint …for the good life and pure which he led”.

In 1446, an astute editor of the Travels noticed the similarity. “This is like the life of Saint Iosaphat,” he declared.

It was, however, only in the 19th century the West became aware of Buddhism as a religion in its own right. As a result of editing and translating of the Buddhist scriptures (dating from the first century BCE) from the 1830s onwards, reliable information about the life of the founder of Buddhism began to grow in the West.

Then the West came to know the story of the young Indian prince, Gautama, whose father – fearful his son would forsake the world – kept him secluded in his palace.

Like Josaphat, Gautama eventually encountered old age, disease and death. And, like Josaphat, he left the palace to live an ascetic life in quest of the meaning of suffering.

After many trials, Gautama sat beneath the Bodhi tree and finally attained enlightenment, thereby becoming a Buddha.

Only in 1869 did this new-found knowledge in the West about the life of the Buddha lead inescapably to the realisation that, in his guise as Saint Josaphat, the Buddha had been a saint in Christendom for some 900 years.

Intimate connections How did the story of the Buddha become that of Josaphat? The process was long and complicated. Essentially, the story of the Buddha that began in India in the Sanskrit language travelled east to China, then west along the Silk Road where it was influenced by the asceticism of the religion of the Manichees.

It was then transposed into Arabic, Greek and Latin. From these Latin versions it would be translated into various European languages.

Years before the West knew anything about the Buddha, his life and the ascetic ideal which it

symbolised were a positive force in the spiritual life of Christians.

The Legend of Barlaam and Josaphat demonstrates powerfully the intimate connections between Buddhism and Christianity in their commitment to the ascetic, meditative and mystical religious life.

Few Christian saints have a better claim to that title than the Buddha.

In an era where the Buddhist spirituality of “mindfulness” is very much on the Western agenda, we need to be mindful of the long and positive history of the influence of Buddhism on the West. Through the story of Barlaam and Josaphat, Buddhist spirituality has played a significant role in our Western heritage for the last one thousand years.

THE TRIBUNE

EXPECTING GREAT THINGS – PART III PEAKS AND VALLEYS YESTERDAY I had two very important conversations. I came away from the first conversation feeling an amount of accomplishment that I have not felt in a very long time. From the other conversation, I left feeling that no matter how much I knew, no matter what I had done, I would never be good enough.

Amazing isn’t it? All in one day I ascended to the height of selfworth and esteem and faced the opposite – my very own “Day of the Disparate” is what I labelled it. And it left me with a few questions: 1. How is it that different people look at the same thing and see something so totally different?

2. How does this personal lesson tie into the universal truth of having faith that better things lay ahead, that greater is coming, and maintaining belief that my best is still ahead?

Well, to be honest, the answer to question one is in itself a principle that I have shared many times over. You cannot control what people see when they look at you. Two people experiencing the sunshine can come away with entirely different experiences – one feeling blessed for having basked in its warm glow and the other complaining of its intense heat and the ensuing discomfort. This ideal holds true for us all.

While one person may see me as an eccentric, living outside the boundaries and limitations of a

BY AYANNA CLARKE

Your faith in God, faith in what He can do, and greater still, your faith in what He can do through you should take precedence over any one person’s underestimation of who you are.

Your personal expectation of great things in your life is connected to you and you alone.

Perhaps others have not seen you at your best yet and are afraid to fully trust the potential greatness in you; or perhaps they have seen your potential for greatness, but that is a separate consideration...

Either way, your expectation or greatness should not change

based on the peaks and valleys of interactions. It shouldn’t depend on whether people recognise the potential for greatness in you. Mind you, to have your potential nurtured and mentored is a wonderful experience. But in the absence of the “peak” of recognition, would you loosen your grip on expectation? Would you toss aside your faith and belief that there is greatness in you just because you walk in the “valley” of being marginalised or ignored?

We are in what my pastor has dubbed “the season of the mouth.” In that idea I have

chosen to continually declare my expectation in every area of my life. I’ve made the lesson of 1 Peter 3:10 my meditation. I want to love life and see good days, so I have adopted the practice or mode of speaking my expectations.

The conversations were certainly an eye-opener for me. I know I’m not the first to have such a telling experience and I certainly won’t be the last. Am I still expecting great things? Yes! Do I expect others to recognise the great things that I have and will accomplish? Nah, and I’m OK with that.

Despite any peak or valley of recognition or acclaim, I decided that I am the determining factor in my own great expectations.

These days we live under the threat of spreading disease, bankrupt economies and limited interaction with the outside world. In spite of this we still can declare and move toward fulfilled potential and great accomplishment – not dependent on what others see or choose to believe about us – but what we expect and believe for ourselves.

God bless you this week!

to get out of 2020, seeing how this year has turned out thus far. The outlook seems bleak and for the most part people are despondent.

However, God is faithful to His promises to keep His people in dry seasons. His word does not change, but is consistent. Lamentations 3:21-23 says: “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassion fail not. They are new every morning: Great is

Thy faithfulness.”

God is faithful and His loving kindness is endless. This is just a word to encourage the downtrodden and the despondent of heart, in the midst of God’s judgement upon the world and it’s sinners. I do believe that God will take care of His people, as He did in biblical times.

Exodus 8:22: “And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the Lord in the midst

of the earth.”

God kept Israel His people within Egypt, in the land of Goshen. There was no plague or natural disaster of God’s wrath that touched them, even though He judged Egypt. I now there are many people who feeling a sense of despair right now. But it is time to trust Jesus! God will preserve His people in the midst of this pandemic the and worldwide recession. Trust Him! • For questions and comments, e-mail keithevans242@gmail.com or kenazevans242@gmail.com

How people perceive us certainly isn’t our call, and it shouldn’t stop us in our pursuit of greater for the rest of this year. Your motivation toward greater should never take a backseat to another’s idea of who you are or what you can do.

OSPEL artist Gabrielle Styles has recorded a new version of a song intended to comfort people feeling indescribable loss to let Bahamians know that God is still with them, even in these difficult times of COVID-19.

The song is called “When God Seems Silent” and was written by Bimini’s Minister Oslien Jadorte of Gateway Outreach Ministries as a tribute to the victims of the 2005 crash of Chalk’s Ocean Airways Flight 101.

“Isaiah 43:19 says, ‘I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert’. And this shows us that no matter what state the world is in, God’s purpose for our lives will always prevail,” said Gabrielle speaking of the song.

“Fifteen years later this song is still extremely relevant, as recent times have stirred so many concerns and sentiments of uncertainty on both a local and global scale. This song targets the hearts of those that are in need of soulful uplifting and encouragement. It is a reminder that God is with us indefinitely.”

And Gabrielle said it seems Bahamians are appreciating her version of the song.

“The feedback is phenomenal and the support and love from family, friends and the Bahamian people at large has been overwhelming. Already the testimonies have been flooding my personal inboxes, which is only a testament of the goodness and faithfulness of God. Within less than 24 hours of releasing my music on Facebook, ‘When God Seems Silent’ has received over 6,000 views and nearly three hundred 300 shares. Within this time many have recorded that they were encouraged. To God be all the Glory,” she said.

Gabrielle comes from a family of singers, who always encouraged her to further develop her musical talents.

“I was a part of my high school choir at Bishop Michael Eldon in Freeport, Grand Bahama, and performed in the National Arts Festival while in school.

After high school I joined the Grand Bahama Youth Choir under the direction of Kevin Tomlinson.”

Gabrielle works for the Department of Immigration as an immigration officer. In 2013, her duties required her to relocate to Bimini where she attended Gateway Outreach Ministries and joined their praise and worship team after dedicating her life to Christ three years later.

“During my time at Gateway I had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of an amazing project called ‘The Jesus Remains’ album, which was spearheaded by the talented Oslien Jadorte. I sang lead on the title track. ‘The Kingdom Come’ medley on this album got nominated and won an Elevation Award for Gospel Song of the Year in 2019. I got transferred back to Freeport, Grand Bahama about two years ago and I’m

currently a member of Universal Household of Faith where I lead worship on their praise and worship team,” she said.

With the music video for “When God Seems Silent”, Gabrielle said she wanted to allow the lyrics to be centre stage. She said the message of the video is a strong but simple one.

Offering advice those who may feel God is far away at the moment, Gabrielle said: “Please be reassured by the word of God that says, ‘Were can I go from your Spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend into heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold you are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me and your right hand shall hold me – Psalms 139:7-10.’

When God seems silent, He’s always there.”

Gabrielle is now planning to release an EP and broadening her listener base by sharing more of her music on social media.

“However, beyond my music projects, my greatest desire is for lives to be touched by the transformational power of God through my music,” she said.

Gabrielle’s songs can be found on all major online music streaming services and on YouTube on the “Gabriellestylesmusic” channel.
