Transformation of the world

Sep 24, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
Nothing is more important and more urgent today, than the Transformation of the Nations.
For any nation today to have peace; unity; harmony; righteousness, and prosperity, that nation will have to undergo a complete transformation. If there is to be an end to racism; to violence; to corruption; to evil of every kind, there must be a complete transformation of the nation.
Some of you sometimes pray, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” I wonder if we grasp the awesome depth and breadth of those words. In short we are saying, we want earth to be like heaven. For this to happen there has to be a major transformation of the nations of the world.
Transformation of the nations, any nation, must begin with the men of the nation. In political circles in Guyana in the early 1970s there was an expression, “The New Guyanese Man.” I don’t recall that it was ever said what kind of creature that would be. But some readers will immediately recognise the concept of “The New Man”: “The New Creature”; “The New Creation.”
According to this vision, the Transformation of the Nations, any Nation, Must begin with the coming into being of A New Man. This means that until men are completely changed, it is useless to expect nations to change.
But how can a man become A New Creature, A New Creation? What is the impact of the man that is so radically transformed in every area of his life, that he is called A New Creation? The impact of the new man is felt in his home; on his job; in his community; in all his associations, and in the new leadership he brings to the nation.
The Transformation of the Nation must begin with the restoration of men to the dignity, character, and status for which they were created. In this, perhaps, lies the greatest challenge that has ever been presented to men. Can it be that what the nation is today is due largely to the men? Does it also mean that what the nation is tomorrow will depend on the men? Think about it Men!
“The Restoration of Men is the Key to the Transformation of the Nations.”
