Nation Building Mark Carven Olds Mno

A movement should always be greater than its leader. "A Portrait of a Movement" will illustrate the multiple factors which shall be at work both pro and con. Nation Building can only be achieved by a number of committed people. This volume will shed light on "the why" people "do or do not" embrace change. Among the most significant aspects of this work will be the recognition of the timing of God. Such recognition will give or deny success to a movement. "I declared the former things long ago and they went forth from my mouth, and I proclaimed them. Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass." (Isaiah 48:3 NASB) It was further proclaimed by the prophet Isaiah, "Even from eternity I am He, and there is none who can deliver out of my hand; I act and who can reverse it?" (Isaiah 43:13 NASB) The attrition of developments in life will come mostly as unforeseeable. They shall come to test our endurance, faith, and commitment. Especially tested will be our vows to solve problems related to community which may bring about societal change. Personally, it has become excruciatingly painful to think of having lived for decades and not contributing to the positive change for people who have suffered under oppression and injustice. Of all the experiences that I have undergone, my living will have been in vain - If conditions have worsen at my demise than they were at my birth. This should not be interpreted in some morbid sense, nor should it be looked upon as delusional thinking. I will simply possess great faith. I cannot accept less than the unlimited potential that has always resided within me.
