(News of The South) -In the book of Mathew chapter 2, is a story of King Herod trying to kill Jesus, which resulted in Herod sending his solders to kill all baby boys under the age of two years, but an Angel was sent to warn Joseph to go and seek refuge in Egypt.
The greatness of Africa is embedded in it’s resources and blessings. God chose Egypt in Africa as a place for Jesus to seek refuge thus giving blessings and power to Africa. It is no surprise that the eyes of the world are on the Continent Africa and it is similarly no surprise that even those that do not believe in Jesus, enjoy celebrating Christmas festive as the time that Jesus whom they do not believe in, was born.
Despite being a King, Herod was jealous about the birth of Jesus Christ to an extent of seeking to kill him. Jesus was still a baby that, given the age of Herod, there was no way Herod was going to be alive by the time Jesus grew up to be able to take over Kingship from Herod. His jealousy was not going to change the fact that Jesus was the son of God and neither was it going change the blessings that God gave to the Continent of Africa. Similarly, hating any one because of their colour does not take away the blessings that God bestowed upon them.
Herod’s cowardice made him commit murder, not only murder but genocide. He must have been met by the spirit of all the babies he slaughtered when he too died leaving his small crown here on earth. He crashed the innocent little babies like a lion crashing a tiny leveret without mercy.
The greatness of Africa and its’ blessings makes it the centre of colonial attraction. The people from that great Continent are humble and resourceful like their continent which makes them the target of hate. In dark ages our ancestors were used like bricks to make fortresses because they were precious and bore a valuable Heavenly price.
Hate is a sign of cowardice, fear and guilty conscience. If someone steals a cow from a neighbour, he hates seeing the owner of the cow, lest the stolen beast will be discovered. So he tries to keep the owner of the cow at bay even far away from the vicinity of the animal.
The death of George Floyd and many other black people emanates from this fact that their ancestors and other victims were stolen as precious stones from the Continent of Africa and used to build fortresses and beautiful towers. So the only way to make black people forget the history of their stolen and tortured ancestors, was to be vicious and cruel against them, hence the pandemic of hating the black people.
However, it is important to know that the weaker link is always the target. So, the devil knows who the weaker link is, to induce to hate on other human beings. If we all know that the devil is the one who sends people to steal from other people, we will rest encouraged to turn to the Almighty Super Heavenly Power, to deal with the culprit and only he knows how best to deal with a vicious thief without letting ourselves fall into temptation or getting defeated.
God dealt with Herod in the proper manner which left Joseph and Mary clean of sin. It stands to reason that Africa and its’ people are beautiful and attractive to this day and the attraction that led to colonialism remains a reality. Consequently, let us not lose focus on praying for our prosperity, nobility and success. Just try to figure out why would have God chosen Jesus to seek refuge in Africa instead of going somewhere else or even make Herod blind like he did to Saul on his way to Damascus (Acts 22:6-11),there was a special reason for that.
I cannot imagine a real human being in his proper humanity can kill or hate another human being because of the colour of their skin. No one chose to be the colour they are and there is no option to that. God decided on the day of creation how he wanted his garden, which is this earth, to look like. He created different kinds of animals and different colours of flowers so that his garden earth can look beautiful. It goes without saying that every person has a sense of beauty, hence the need for beautiful gardens with different colours of flowers, because it beautifies the garden. A garden with different colours of flowers looks attractive and beautiful. So the colour of our skin beautifies this world for the glory of God not us and it is indeed foolhardy not to see the truth of this reality.
The spirit of black American George Floyd killed by a racist American policeman Chauvinism from Minnesota was quick to resurrect and it is a stark reminder to all perpetuators and instigators of hate and evil, that they need to repent. They must take cognisant of the fact that God is watching and that the dead do not die twice. They die once and will resurrect once and once they resurrect they will be in spirit and the spirit is unconquerable. This is very stubborn truth and reality which has no replacement because life cannot be replaced. If one kills someone, that person will fight in spirit. No ritualism can appease the spirit of a dead person without reparation. So the best way to avoid suffering the consequences of spiritual vengeance is to avoid killing. Despite facing lengthy imprisonment the killers will be haunted by the spirit of the dead one way or the other for the rest of their life and this goes for all those who committed acts of genocide around the world.
May the spirit of George Floyd and others who died at the hand of cruel vampires rest in eternal peace.
