TRIBUTE TO WHITNEY HOUSTON (BROWN): A TALENTED

CHILD OF GOD THAT BECAME THE DEVIL’S WORKSHOP:

BY BISHOP STEVEN LIBERTY SR.

Don’t misread me for I am a great lover of Whitney; but like

all good things that goes wrong; lessons must be learned

and documented for future generations. There is word on

the street that Whitney went to heaven because the last

song she sang was “Jesus loves me” and I am no judge of

that. But I know that even if one dies on the pulpit

preaching and His life did not follow the principles that

take one to heaven; he/she will end up in hell. Again I am

so sorry for being so brunt during this period but we must

face the facts if lessons must be learned. Some said she

was save and might have confess that she wanted to go to

Jesus; but dear friends it is not by only saying you want to

go to Jesus, but people who reach such decisions must

not only profess it with the mouths for you can meet Jesus

Christ any time and any where here on earth,

and when you do meet Him your life will be renewed and

those former things like drug habits will be broken as

signs of your new birth.

When God gives an extraordinary talent; He does so with

intent or propose and in this case it was to glorify Him in

the mist of men. Do you know that Whitney could have

earn even more money ,fame and even a long ,healthy, and

successful life if she had used her beautiful voice to sing

praises to God and preach His word through songs? Do you

know she could have made those same love songs with

better words and people would still love them and dance

to them? But the Devil understood this fact and spotted

her and sends a virus in her life that would plant seeds of

distraction that would lead to an early death. If you had

followed the life of this talented and famous creation of

God like I did; you would notice visible signs of the devil

taking over her life and beautiful voice. You could see

physically when God was thrown out of her life and Satan

took over. Her ways of life began to change; her voice

began to desert her and her spiritual and physical

structure gradually began to fade.

It was visible and if she had any true friends who had her

well being in heart: they would have led her to the very

Jesus she spoke and sang about so much; but in actual

fact did not know. It pains my heart to write these things

about a person whose voice I love so much; but there are

many such Whitney’s out there whose heeds to be saved

before it is too late. They are famous, rich, poor, our

brothers, sisters or extended family members or even we;

who has miss the road to their God given destiny and

heading for an early death.

Most of the time God speaks to us physically but we

ignore the message and close our eyes and ears to

realities. In the film “Body guard” Whitney sang this very

song,” Jesus Loves Me” for her friend who died because of

carelessness and drunkenness. Little did she realized that

God was warning her in that movie of the dark path she

had chosen and how drugs, drunkenness would over take

her life if she did not open her eyes on time.

Like in her film, death followed her everywhere, day and

night. God love her so much and did all He could to save

her but most of you who have it all; think that money&

fame is the end of the road. So many things happened in

her life time that serve as an warning ;like the death of a

musician and friend who abused the same substances she

did ; but she failed to heed the voice of God. Now instead

of telling her sad story of failure to the world so that

others will not follow her footsteps; the world is sending

her to heaven because of money and fame. Don’t get me

wrong, I pray that she will make it there but my personal

belief is that her death was a suicide; intentional or not

because of the path she followed. Whitney left a great

legacy but it will always be of a woman with a beautiful

voice who miss the way earlier in life and became the

Devil’s workshop.

I want to say this to all parents who are so eager to push

their young immature children to the streets because of

some talent they discovered in them, without a God

fearing mentor; as long as the bucks row in. Beware for

the wrong mentor do not care what it take to get the

money rowing in; drugs ,alcohol, etc. They destroyed the

spiritual, mental and physical well being of these young

immature children and they become adults before their

minds are prepared properly and usually end up a mess.

WHAT ABOUT YOU MY FRIEND; WILL YOU COME TO YOUR SENSES WHILE

THERE IS YET TIME, OR WILL YOU WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. JESUS IS

HERE AND WAITING FOR YOU. YOU CAN FIND HIM ANYWHERE, ANYTIME,

DAY OR NIGHT.

TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS, ETC OF WHITNEY HOUSTON; I ENTEND MY DEEPEST

SAMPATHY AND PRAY THAT GOD WILL COMFORT YOU IN THIS SAD PERIOD IN YOUR

LIFE. IF YOU JUST HAD ANOTHER CHANCE I AM SURE YOU WOULD DO IT RIGHT.

THAT IS WHY I AM URGING YOU TO DO THE RIGHT THING IN YOUR GRANDCHILDREN

AND LOVE ONES LIVES. MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE AND THE LIGHT OF GOD

WHO ALWAYS LOVED HER AS SHE WAS SHINE UPON HER .
