James 4:5-6 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6. But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Bob Marley baptised into Ethiopian Orthodox Church 6 months before he died
What is the relationship between Bob Marley and the Orthodox church?
Bob Marley, the legendary reggae musician, was baptized into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in 1980, just six months before his death. He took the name Berhane Selassie, which means “The Light of the Holy Trinity” in Amharic.
Background
Marley’s conversion to Christianity was a significant departure from his earlier Rastafarian beliefs. As a Rastafarian, Marley believed that Haile Selassie, the former Emperor of Ethiopia, was the messiah and the living God. However, after Selassie’s death in 1975, Marley began to question his beliefs and eventually converted to Christianity.
Baptism
Marley was baptized by Archbishop Abuna Yesehaq, the head of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in the Western Hemisphere, on November 4, 1980. The baptism took place in New York, and Marley was given the name Berhane Selassie.
Funeral
Marley’s funeral was held on May 21, 1981, at the Ethiopian Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity in Kingston, Jamaica. The service was attended by hundreds of mourners, including Archbishop Abuna Yesehaq, who had baptized Marley just six months earlier.
Legacy
Marley’s conversion to Christianity and his baptism into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church have had a lasting impact on his legacy. While some Rastafarians have criticized his conversion, many others have come to see it as a testament to Marley’s spiritual journey and his desire to find a deeper connection with God.
Interesting Facts
Marley’s wife, Rita Marley, was also baptized into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and is currently a Deaconess in that Church.
Marley’s funeral was attended by hundreds of mourners, including Archbishop Abuna Yesehaq, who had baptized him just six months earlier.
Marley’s conversion to Christianity was not widely publicized during his lifetime, and many of his fans were unaware of his new faith until after his death.

Matthew 6:24-25
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

☦️🕯️The fear of God is the father of heedfulness, and heedfulness is the mother of inner peace, and the latter gives birth to conscience, which causes the soul to behold its own ugliness as in undisturbed water; and thus are the roots of repentance.🕯️☦️

Matthew 6:28-30
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29. And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
