Mr. Alexandre VIOTTY: The Word

DEDICATED TO: Mr. Alexandre VIOTTY

Acquaintance with Mr. Alexandre VIOTTY is like being acquainted with culture, philosophy, Christianity, history, politics and society life of an authentic St-Martiner, for at the age of 88, true son of the sol, of European and African slave descent, he remains a living incarnation of his country’s the spirit and a devoted witness of the facts leading St-Martin from its days of slavery to what it has become today.

Mr. Alexandre VIOTTY is an icon of knowledge, wisdom and Christian faith, strong believer in God. He has the profound belief that his survival over numerous threats of death is thanks to his dedication to God’s “natural Word”, the Bible and God’s “living Word”, the spiritual life of the risen Jesus Christ.

It is a great honor and privilege to “THE ELDER” to dedicate to him this issue. However, it will take the publication of a special book to contain the stories of Mr. Alexandre VIOTTY on St-Martin’s realities and facts. We do not have pages for that, so in this issue we wish to only refer to his theology on the “WORD”. His thoughts are factual and inspiring. “THE ELDER” wish to continue with the same philosophy throughout this entire issue.

Mr. Alexandre VIOTTY believes in Church but the ‘Life’ of Churches can be deceiving. Given eloquence to the word may often be present, but perceiving the exalting ‘Living Word’ is often defaulted. The once brotherly feelings and attitude is today undermined by the notion of rank.

He claims that there is the congregation of the Church and there is the Church’s congregation, the first may overlap the second to a certain degree, but it is important to distinct one from the other because only the second is constituted of God’s chosen, composed not only of natural bodies but also spiritual bodies, the spiritual living body of the risen Jesus Christ, God’s Angels and incarnations of the “Living Word”.

M. Alexandre VIOTTY has no other interpretation to the death of Jesus Christ than a necessary process so that every believer may become a spiritual incarnation of the Holy Word. He claims: “Man has become the dwelling place of a permanent duel between the “Good spirit” and the “Evil spirit”.


Mr. Alexandre VIOTTY regrets the fact that Churches in St-Martin are not open minded to the unfamiliar. He claims that the hierarchy within the Church is not the hierarchy of the Holy Spirit. No one can tell to whom will be revealed the secrets of God’s Kingdom, for this reason leaders of the Church should not only tend their ears to the familiar follower but as well to the unfamiliar believer.

Mr. Alexandre VIOTTY acknowledged many experiences of communication with the Holy Spirit in the form of visions, but also in live voices. At times it may be visions on personal matters or messages to be delivered to others.

He gives examples of live spiritual communications or of live spiritual exhortations to use the power of his faith in God at times he found himself confronted with overwhelming dilemmas, in theses circumstances his commands in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ have always proven his power through God to be real.

He is a member of the Global Mission Church, but the high sonority in Churches is incompatible with his hearing so in reality he organizes his own little Home-Church with his family and a few faithful friends.

He is fully confident in his outlook on life but has the regretful feeling of not been recognized and considered at his true value and as God’s messenger. We are all potential messengers of God. The question of being familiar or unfamiliar in society is not what matter to God.


Mr. Alexandre VIOTTY is also unsatisfied by the fact that in spite of all of his endeavours, he did not fully succeed in finding the necessary common grounds of communication so that he could have offer to his country as much as he had received from it and so contribute more efficiently to the overall uplift of his surroundings and successive generations.

He claims: “Individualism has taken a decisive turn in our way of life, likely a culture by adoption, as so sharing values with neighbors and even with children, grounded on true values and mutual recognition is hard to find in St-Martin”

M. Alexandre VIOTTY daily happiness is having his hands in his garden growing vegetables and food crops, having his hands in the fruitful soil of God’s earth is being in connection with the source of life, and this enriches his spirit as he remains in permanent and intimate relation with the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.

All may not look like happiness in his surroundings, but by immersing himself into his profound belief in the Bible and assured of being an incarnation of the “Living Word”, M. Alexandre VIOTTY counts himself to be exceptionally privileged and exalts in his praises to God.

Mr. Alexandre VIOTTY, has an exceptional concern and philosophy on the “Word”. In substance we retain the following thoughts from our talks with M. Alexandre VIOTTY:

God’s covenant with Adam and Eve was based on obedience to the "Word”. The eternal price to pay for the broken covenant is the fall of Man. Henceforth man inherited the evil spirit.

Our reminder in seeking redemption should be: Words are meaningful, their sense context-dependent: As written in “James1: 22: “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.”

In the context of other covenants, God had manifested himself to Noah, Abraham, David, Moses and in many other circumstances, in “words” through the voice of his Angels.

Moses in obedience to God’s instructions transcribed the “word” and it becomes the law upon which God’s kingdom on earth with his chosen people was established.

But God’s chosen people, instead of abiding in the spirit and true meaning of God’s “Word”, have appropriated the law and as result, the “word” has become the interpretation of man’s self- ambitious will and as so, meaningless to God’s desires.

Therefore God send his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ into the world, as to restore the true meaning of his “Word” to the accomplishment of his desires.

Jesus Christ came into the world as a natural body therefore his death was the necessary process so that he becomes a spiritual body with the power to incarnate or to communicate with man’s spiritual being.

God through his Son Jesus Christ, in a new covenant with man, has created on earth a new kingdom governed by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.

God’s Word, has taken a spiritual form: The “Living Word”.

Henceforth the perfect perception and obedience of God’s “word”(The Bible) is ensured because the true believer becomes an incarnation of the spiritual body of Jesus Christ.

The living Word is directly accessible to all human being, considered in his individuality and not necessarily as a descendant or as a chosen nation.

Every human being that accepts Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior becomes an incarnation of the “Living Word”. Our life becomes a meaningful reflector of God’s word and we can no more be misled.

Man is the incarnation of two spirits: The spirit of evil transmitted by man’s original curse ( Adam and Eve) and the spirit of “Good” we inherited by the redemption of our sins, possible through the death of Jesus Christ and his risen into a spiritual body.

The spirit of good is but potential in the sense that it becomes manifest in us only by our option to believe and have faith in Jesus Christ and our obedience to God’s “word”.

John 1:14: “ The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us”

The natural or writing word is the Bible. The living word is Jesus Christ. One without the next is meaningless. John14: 6: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
