Is African minerals a blessings or a curse?

 Opinion news

               I was watch video on you tube, then I find this page Alain Foka officiel, sharing some of great topic on Africa wealth and politic, by that I ask myself this question is our minerals a blessing or a curse? maybe we do not know how to take care of the things God has give us? from that video I come across according to the statistic presented by him, it happen that most of the mineral of the world is in Africa and with most around 70% plus of the reserve is here in Africa.

               Amazing or I am shocked but standing with my eyes wide open, to see and know that African most them live below poverty level, let me put figure on it most African family live below 1$ but their land is so rich that without their land most of the things make those to be qualify as rich people or countries will not be, sometimes I ask myself who did even classify some countries or continent as poor or under developpe? what is the criteria? because some or most this things is been impose to the poor and it is a model for them to be poor to carry the so called wealthy countries for life, this is what I called a rich men living from the blood of the poor men and knowing without that poor men is life is nothing therefore he make sure the system stay and for life.

              Let just give you these 3 examples, first Ghana and Ivory Cost they are the two great produce of Cocoa in the world their productions alone is 70% of all the production of the world and we all know very well without Cocoa there no chocolate, but they are bully by these super rich corporations that make chocolate, from imposing prices even bringing the prices down, with the contract which I called slave contract which go like 100 years of the same prices but the chocolate prices go high each and every months, Congo have cobalt and coper and coltan and 70% of these mineral is in Congo and we all know that without these mineral they will be no Telsa, I mean no electrical cars, also no smart phone and all these smart gadgets, but Congolese are in the poor condition even their dogs in their home are far more better than the Congolese where this things come from, third and last but the example are many no books can contain all of it, the Chinese invasion of Africa I will like to sound the alarm bell as a prophet one day we will wake up or our children will wake up to be told that they have no country anymore to call home because their father did sell it for nothing to the Chinese mafia who are coming here and taking everything and doing nothing for the African.

            I will conclude on this for the 100% of the Congolese mineral 70% is in the hand of the so called multi corporation company who did buy those company next to nothing and they are not even respecting the contract and the contract which run for 100 years, how can you sign a contract like that which will include even the generation which know nothing about you, 30% which is for the Congolese government which the government can not even run it then come the one I called the vampire who come to suck the remaining blood out of the body, these vampire are worse than the multi corporation the double the slavery of poor Congolese who work and live in the condition of animal.

           All this make me to realize that every times our politicians or African sit on the negotiation table he always come out a looser, I will like to call to the new generation to wake up and bring skill at the negotiation table and all the contract must be review and rewrite for the better life of all African children to enjoy his or her wealth given to them by God.

  God bless Africa  

It is pre democracy time in Africa politic

 Opinion news 

               Let us reflect on our politic in in Africa, the situations right now are making us to think we are in the Africa time of pre democracy, when a strong man can ascended into power with the help of the soldiers and the government in place will be topple without any says of the people.

                  When to understand or the Africa of the post colonization it was with the politic of one state and one party without democracy and election, meaning the president is in power for life no one will challenger him or question is authority everyone will sing his songs and dance to his tune, if you do not follow his way you will be killed and cast out of the cake of the country that also bring the country without a proper justice.

                 But after the end of the cold war we were promise a better Africa, where political no one will live in fear of his life and the end of strong man but the beginning of ideas and principles with a democracy and where the people have the future of their life or country in their own hand, one of  the great decision was no more coup and toppling the government by force which mean every government will have the peace of mind, no more fear of being topple by a so called strong man, and that was also the end of having a president for life, then one of the best things was or is the constitution is now let me called it the bible of the country, and the presidential term is now put only to two terms but then as in Africa people most of time are not satisfy, politicians again this people were the one who put this law in paper and they are the one again are going against it, because as they say power can corrupt you easily , then the two term is no longer enough constitution is been change to more than two term even  to life again like the period of pre democracy but this time around there is a so called election, this measure have made us to see the man like Alpha Conde, Sassou, Paul Mbiya, Kagame and many more to be in power for more than 20 years , and  now we are seeing the old habit of the coup coming back and being support by the western power, countries like CHAD the president died or killed no one know then his son became the president without being vote into power but supported by the French president, Mali they have been there two coup and democratically elected government was topple by the junta with a strong man until now no election and civilian are out of government, last week event in Guinee Conakry where  Alpha Conde first he change the constitution for him to go for term number 3, knowing he is 80+ of age and he make a fraud election let me says two wrongs does not not make right he is been topple by a coup but all the African institution are making noise of let order and the constitution be restored and respected, Kagame just make it impossible for anyone to be president in Rwanda by being now a life president, what is shocking is many in Africa are thinking that he is a role model the way of leading a country,in conclusion A U is powerless or even useless to make any authority or give the moral way or the direction to follow because they are all the same.

                Can African leader for once think of their people who are dying every day by trying the cross the sea to go to Europe, by trying hard to implement their own resolution which is adopted in the constitution which is like the bible than wanting to bring Africa and African population back to time of pre democracy, but in all of this there is also a success story to tell of country like Ghana, Botwana, Benin, Zambia, Namibia and others where democracy is been successful run.

     Thank you be bless Africa

African Leaders

 Opinion news

              Those who leader us we may insult them or hate or love them however we need to look within ourselves well then make a conclusion, there is this saying you are what you eat, the consequence we are seeing it is just our action. When it came to Africa we can not say Africa never have a leader, since pre colonization and during the colonization and the post colonization Africa always have leaders some good some bad, in fact in all position of the society, they may religious leader, human right or civil society leader or scientist leader or politician we always have them, but in this opinion I will narrow only to politician.

               Before the freedom of the African countries, they was the rise of leaders that push the independence of the African countries and the birth of the movement like the pan African idea and that movement even give birth to AU, if we are honest to ourselves that early move was so successful , let me mention this most of the leaders were not even highly educated, some were but most were not, I can put it this way, they were so successful because of the vision and the goal which was freedom of the people and the country.

               After the independence the same leaders became the president of their respective countries and the yesterday freedom fighters they are in government and leading, oh my God they must lead the country in another level, but soon they were in power the reality sink in, and power and money became the drive of their goal no more making better life for all, they install one party one state, and also most of them did proclaim themselves life president, dictatorship was the motto of the day, I will love the say this I am not supporters of democracy in Africa either but we as African supposed to make our own way of choosing our leaders, this one party one state, did bring a lot of pain to many countries but not all, because some countries have multiple coup and plot against the regime in power in some case it was very violent with the killing that was beyond human right, but in some countries also they were success and prosperity for the citizen.

              Then we arrived to time of democracy that happened when the cold war was over and the fall of the Berlin wall, African countries was imposed by the western to put democracy as condition for economic help, I may say some countries took it well but the majority of the countries did not took well, we need to put this in mind that change is not easy and it does not happened over night, the problem have with democracy in Africa is we do not vote according to the project or vision of the candidate but we vote according to the ethnicity and tribe line, that is my worry, and also in the most cases the ruling party does not lose the election it is like a divine right for the ruling party, and also most of the freedom fighter party think like the country own them the power, the most horrible things and it is like an horror movie it is that most of election in Africa is not fair and free, it is chaotic and shambolic, the ballot papers in most cases are already mark before even the vote begin, but I must put this most of African countries are now also organizing well run election, let us know that human being things is not perfect even in the rich country they do have problem with election also.

              In conclusion beside all of the above the leaders that we put to lead us they are the fruit of our thought and chose, oh yes I know in the most they came there by force or other means but at the end of everything we tolerate them and they became the fruit of our idea, somewhere it is say if you want to see the people look their leader, some of leaders the way the behave it make us wonder how a man or woman like this one can lead us, it is about time the masses must hold the leaders accountability for their action, time of giving them blank cheque is over, now they need to account to their action, in this note I will like to congratulant the Zambian people for their election and choosing a new president let live the new president and blessing in the land of Zambia.

                           Bless you all

  

Who deserved to be praise

 Opinion news

               In my opinion news of the day I will put deal with the topic of who deserved to be praise? before I even give the meaning of praise let me say this, if you observe well African people which I am, you will see that praise or praising is a natural things for African, we can sing and dance in any situation and circumstance, I mean at joyful time or sad time we do sing, that the things I do no longer accept. Now what is praise; it is to express warm approval or admiration of.... , For me it go beyond just singing and dancing because it is kind of putting the person or things you are praising as your God, and you can not do anything without it or him.

               I will put my opinion on this scriptures First Samuel 18:7 and Acts 10:26, these two scriptures is about the women singing and dancing on David and King Saul killing of enemies and Peter telling Cornelius that he is a man like him, why I choose these two scripture it is simple, when you look they way the society is built you will find there is always a man who is praise above the rest, check in political party the leader is praise all the times by songs and dancing, in the church the senior pastor also is praise more than God, other can say I am the God that you do not see therefore believers are prayer in the name of the God of their leader, soccer players, actor and actress which we called today celebrity all are praise and worship, you will see that the trouble of David against King Saul started by the song like the one sung by the woman, it will birth jealous and bitterness, even lust. countries fighting family disputes also killing because one was praise above the others.

             What is bad, it is when someone is praise in the manner that the person think that without him nothing will work, Mobutu was elevated so high that he was thinking that the Congolese people are nothing without him, when a leader live only for praise that make the leader to think he is the all of all, let see what Peter did, when he comes to house of Cornelius, Cornelius was ready to worship him and praise him, remember Peter did walk and talk to Jesus face to face and he is a man whom God used so mighty at the times but surprise surprise Peter refused to get all the praises and he equal himself to Cornelius by saying I am a man like you, that show leader and by saying that he directed all the praise and adoration to God, by this we understand that the one and only who deserved the praise is God no one else, you may respect a man but not praise him, you may honor a man but not praise him, because a man is the instrument that God use nothing more, you need to know with or without that man you were going to get your blessings anyway because God is the sole provider.

            Songs and praise must go to God, this is why I have find it difficult to praise a man and make the man look like God, let sing the Lord at all times and praise the Lord in the morning, mid day , and evening when the sun set, he is worthy and deserved to be praise, let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord not Man and you will be free.

                   Be bless all of you 

The Authority of the Name

 Opinion news

               In my opinion news today I will put forward about the authority of the name, in our society it is difficult to ignore the authority of the name, there is weight behind the name, let me explain this if your name is Kennedy, and if you did comes from John F. Kennedy in America that count so much, you will see same dynasty name in America polity like the Bush, and in South Africa the name of Mandela is also big, there is also the name in corporate that is big also like Ford, and many more, in music name like Mozart and many more, in art name like Da Vinci and many more, and there is some great academic institution in the world that when you study there it is a key for success for you, even the name of some countries may make you great or small, this is the authority that the name carries with.

               What is a name it is a word or a combination of words by which a person, place, or thing, a body or class, or any object of thought is designated, called, or known. Once the name is given to you therefore you will be know by that name going forward, and the name have meaning, in the Bible the name of the was also their character, the name given to someone will define the person and his character, let me take this example in the book of first Samuel 25, David sent his people to Nabal and he said greet him in my name, the question is why did he said greet him in my name? the answer is simple the name of David is now great name in Israel, David is the one who killed Goliath, He also given Israel many victory against their enemies and doing so they have peace in the country, songs were sung in David name as a man of victory therefore his name was above the rest, these popularity make David to say greet him in my name, God said to Abraham I will make your name great! and believe you me Abraham name was made great until today his name his mention not only by the Christians but by the Jews and Muslims also this show us how the authority of the name is all about, let show how the name also describe someone in the person bad character, Nabal you find this man in the book of first Samuel, he is describe as a scoundrel, harsh and evil in is doing, that by his name he live and died off. however in all of this it is only a name of human beings and it authority is limited, I will give you the example like after the end of the second world war many people did change their name if it is related to a name like Hitler, after the death of Capone his family members also change their name these two example show us the limited of authority of the name, because it can be powerful today but not tomorrow.

               In conclusion I want to show you the name that the authority have no end, the name of Jesus Christ is the name with unlimited authority, and his authority does not have a mandate and his authority his not given by anyone and his authority has no genealogy and his authority his yesterday, today and forever and his authority never get old it is eternal, the name of Jesus open any door, any others names will never give you salvation but only the name of Jesus Christ will do so Acts 4:12, in the name of Jesus Christ signs will follow you, this is amazing you will not follow signs but signs and wonders will follow you, Mark 16:17-18, now get this in the name of Jesus Christ every knee shall bow and every tongues shall confess, this is amazing imagine this if you can have the name which is above any names, and this name is given to you as a gift by God, wow this I call it the wow factor by me having the name which is above any name, Philippians 2:9-11, My Brother and Sister if you want a blessing there is a name which will bring to you the blessing that name is Jesus Christ and his authority have no limit and end.

               God Bless you all.

Bible Survey of the Book of Esther part1

Man and Power

 Opinion news

               My opinion news of the day is on Man and Power, no one is against a power of any kind, when a man get in the position of power most of the times their behavior change, and certain views are no longer the same, however let me try to give the meaning of Power and Man, first what is Power? there is many meaning for this word but I prefer this one, Power is the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events, what is Man? according to theology anthropology man is a being or person with 3 part which is Body, Soul, Spirit. by this meaning we will understand the relationship between Man and Power. 

               Let me put this in perspective, God who He is called the almighty which is all powerful, and his power has no limited, however let me say this He has control over his power, that is where the difference is between God and man, there a movie which was play by Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman. Jim Carrey play as a man, Morgan Freeman play as God, when Jim Carrey became God, he did used the power anyhow, that show how when man have the power can he behavior, I will like the put it clear that not all man can not control the power. Now in the context of the world of the influencers how do we see power in the man, how can a power in the man control or direct the events? Can the power in democracy especially in Africa manageable? what about the strong man power?

             In today world it is like a cancer every men want to have a power of the sort any way He is, look about footballers without naming names they go with how many followers the have in their social medias that make them to be super stars, it goes the same with musicians, actors, politicians, and preachers of the word of God, also check the movies on the super heroes, all of these movies are all about power with one man who will come to save the day of the doom of the world, there is another power which is in the negative and which the movies and tv series portray it as villain, in fact it is all about power.

           I observe these, they are countries which are in the competition and try to make the rest of the countries to submit to them, example you will hear the American said their country is the most powerful on the earth, can we say no to that I do not think so, why they have the money, the influence the world and the event of the world easily and what they want they will get it, they have also the most powerful army in the world, all of these aspect make them to be the powerful country in the world, of course Russian and China may said no to this but they will concede that the American economy is more powerful than their, therefore they are powerful, also by they have manage to impose their way to many of the countries and they became the bunch mark of the rest. There is also the power one man imposing his influence on the rest, A man like Vladimir Putin the Russian president or let me call him the president for life, he have the capacity or the ability to influence the behavior of others or the course of events, today he has manage to put fear on the Russian and make them think He is the messiah which will bring the old great Russian back, it is like without him they will be no Russian, same with XI Jimping of China, these people control and direct everything in their countries, no one can dare say anything, in fact the notion of accountability is not for them until death set them a part. if you want to compare the Russian and China ways with the democracy ways of the west there is great gap between, I am not saying the west is better, because even in the west we have those who called themselves as the extreme right wing whom also want power at all cost by being racist, in Africa we have the combination of both which they called themselves as strong man, these one started since the down of independence of African countries, until today in the so called democracy, the question us African we must ask is which one can be great for us, a powerful man who call in all of us to toy the line for the better the life of all of us? or dictator with to much power and he can not better the life of us? or a democracy power that we can not master because of the way we are with ethnic and tribe? in conclusion I can man and power are called to be hand in hand with a proper guidance otherwise it will be a disaster, a man with to much power he is a danger to himself and society as all.

Immutability and Eternity of God

 Opinion news

              The substance of God is his essence or his being. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the essence of God, the nature of God, and the attributes of God, in this opinion news I shall discuss the attributes of God, to be more specific the natural attributes of God which is classified by some theologians as non moral attributes. however in this opinion news I shall put forward the immutability and eternity of God.

                  In all of the attributes of God the immutability and eternity of God is the most powerful in my opinion, I shall say, this is why I say so, we human being we do change our mind so often, some of us did once get marriage then after some years or even for some today is just a matter of hours or day then they divorce, reason I change my mind, others it is on promise made but not keep, and many more reason they will give I am human being I am entitle to change my mind, but does not change his mind.

                 By immutability of God is meant that in essence, attributes, conscience, holiness, justice, righteousness, there is no change. God cannot change for the better; he is and has always been the best to perfection. He cannot change for the worst since it would be a contradiction to his nature. God can never be wiser, more powerful, more present, more holy, or more just, he cannot be less merciful, less truthful, or less righteous, he is the same yesterday, today, and forever. James informs us that ' He is the Father of light, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning ' this show us how God is constant with himself and he never denied his word, how many us speak one thing and do something else many and all day long.

                  Although God cannot change in his divine prerogatives or his moral attributes, there are occasions when he may change his relationship to his moral creatures. He may pronounce a judgment upon a city like Nineveh. Jonah cried and said ' Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown ' . then later  ' God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way and repented...... and he did it not ' Jonah 3:4-10, here is the example of his relationship with his creatures, That God can change for his creatures when they turned around that is not mean his attributes his change.

                 Both the promise of God and the judgments of God are conditional depending upon the obedience of the righteous or the disobedience of the wicked. God reserves the right to withhold the blessing from the righteous or his curses from the wicked if either turns from his ways, the word eternal is used in the scripture with two meanings, literally and figuratively, the literal meaning of the term applies only to God, who has neither beginning or ending. With him there is no past, present, or future. He inhabits eternity, an eternal now, one has described it as follows ' It is duration, without beginning or ending; existence, without bounds or dimension; present, without past or future. His eternity is youth without infancy or old age; life without birth or death; today without yesterday or tomorrow.'  In the figurative sense, eternal refers to existence with a beginning, but without an end.  Angels and Human beings have a beginning, but they will have no end. it also refers to a gift from God. John 3:16

                 This is the difference between God and human beings, God is the same from yesterday, today and forever and eternal without beginning, therefore to say we are God in small g is not to understand who God is, I hope you did understand the immutability and eternity of God, it is called theology proper.

                 God bless you all

God of Providence

Opinion news

             In today opinion news I will put forward about God of providence, you will hear people most of the times saying, why is so much poverty in the world, now in part of Africa you hear this why are we so poor and poverty is like part of African life. Now let see it this way, a Christian believer must believe that God is, here the most important way, because God is not was faith deal with the present not yesterday and when he believe God is and that he not only created the universe, but that he upholds and sustains the heavens and the earth by his power and decrees. which bring me to say providentially, God deals with and influences the affairs of men and nations. He rules the laws of nature and supplies daily bread according to his will, in theology proper it mean He is in control. 

              Let try to give you the meaning of the word PROVIDENCE, there is many however I love this one, PROVIDENCE OF GOD etymologically the word means foreseeing. from this point of view, it means that God foresees, makes plans, and provides for the future. the best example is at creation men was created after everything was already made ready for him by God, there is no better picture than this. When you look this example in my humble opinion African have no reason to cry poverty because God has provide Africa with all. In a theological sense, it applies to the activities of God that he exerts in the universe and upon his creatures in bringing to pass his original purpose in the creation. although evil has entered the universe, and in the a certain respect is a thorn in the side of God, yet God will not allow the powerful force of evil to thwart  or defeat the fulfillment of his original wise and holy purpose.

             What is the existence of evil, since God is the omnipotent one who eternally possesses almighty power, and since evil is so devastating and diametrically opposed to God's holy nature, then what is the answer to this riddle of evil in the universe? This indeed is a hard question. Has evil always been in the universe? if not, how did it come to be? if it had an origin, was God in any degree responsible for its origin? if God were responsible for the origin and implementation of evil, then he would be a contradiction unto himself and would thus be both a devil and a God in one divine good and evil personality, which is impossible. and such an answer is blasphemy and impossible. I can say this entire opinion could be spent in an attempt to answer this issue. Let me just put it like this God created the heavens and the earth, and also created rational beings who were morally free to do their own thinking and making their own decisions, this is known as free moral agency. within this freedom, God created both angels and men. blame cannot be placed upon God for his creating these rational beings with such inherent freedom. therefore God did not produce evil as some material object that one may choose, the evil was the choice itself, the decision to obey or disobey God's moral law; thus evil was inherent within the free rational being and not in God. I can go on and on what I can say is blaming God for our short coming he does not a ground and African blaming God for their poverty he does not have ground it is their choice.

           Law and order as practiced by the government of the world is a demonstration of God's providence in protecting society from the beastiality of the society, that is Apostle Paul tells us that the sword is not established in vain, it is God's power operating in the preservation of the good. therefore choosing a good leader is of paramount for any society if not do not blame God. God he providentially supplies our needs the bible have plenty of example in this issue, example Joseph in Egypt the need of Israel was cover. let all acknowledge God providence in our life and say thank you.

             God bless you all.

Failed States

 Opinion News

               I will try to write this opinion news today with a heart that is heavy of the situation that is going on around us here in the country but also make sure that I am not carry on by the distraction of the event. my point today is the failed states however you need to understand that failed states is not only in Africa but it is a complex situation in all of this let us acknowledge that in Africa most countries is qualify to be failed states.

               What is a failed state? a state whose political or economic and judicial system has become so weak that the government is no longer in control.by going with this definition you will understand that more countries all over the world can be call failed state. Now why is African countries are notorious to be qualify has a such! let me quote the Nigeria writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche; " My point is that the only authentic identity for the African is the tribe.... I am Nigerian because the white man created Nigerian and gave me that identity. I am black because the white man constructed black to be as different as possible from his white. but I was IGBO before the white man came." from this quote I see many problem that African are not ready to solved.

               My question are , was he a mistakes by the white man giving us countries as we know it today? She is right before 1945 Berlin conference we were all know by our tribe and clan because the name of the countries as we know it just arrived after that conference and independence, it is a mistakes for the African to have the countries as it is today or we supposed to have the countries according to each clan and tribes, the situation is African people beside their culture and tradition which is made them unique however they are still not raise above their tribes and clans, that is even where war and looting come from. Another one is corruption, this word corruption is a simple word but very powerful word, I remember longtime ago in Congo a former minister of foreign affaires was ask a question by a Belgium  journalist about the corruption of the president Mobutu, his answer was " the word corruption is in lingala, or tshiluba or kikongo." this is all Congolese language however what he was pushing was in our language the word corruption does not exist therefore what you called corruption for us is not. in that time we all applauded him, now when I realize and study everything then I say thing does African people really understand what is corruption? does African politicians really understand what is corruption? most of the times the same poor people who are marginalize will says let him also get the money so what because most of the times because we are from same tribe, another one is judicial I think according to our tradition and customer and culture which is an elders are always right and you can not question an elder and elders are not accountable to anyone young and a chiefs is above everything and all, the judicial is become a problem in this Africa as we know it.

             Now did we get ourselves to a system which is above us? or did we get ourselves to the situation of making someone a Messiah then the same Messiah start making our life miserable? or is democracy  not an African thing? to understand the Nigerian write which I did quote above, I also have my tribe and not by my choice a country was given to me however the tribe issues still high and playing a big role of division in my country most of the time we do not know how to make the country go forward by seeing the capacity and ability of the person but we are always debating from which tribe is coming from. we have even the term geo politic which is every provinces must be in government not quality. if this is the way to go Africa does not have a chance to succeed but to be a failed states, I can say also the Berlin conference was just a great problem created by the oppressor to make us suffer more and it is very difficult to have a spirit of nationalist because we do not belong to this thing called country which we have no link at all and it was imposed to us but our tribe was born in us, what can we do simple let us African raise and build the Africa in diversity which we want all live in and for better future of our children.

            God bless Africa.

The Revelation of God by Miracles.

 Opinion news

              I will first put the term revelation what is all about, also let me say there is two words that I used when I am talking of revelation, there is what I called GENERAL REVELATION; which means that God makes himself  known through nature, human conscience, and history. there is also what I called SPECIAL REVELATION; which means that God makes himself known to specific people in a special and unusual way, and at specific times. there are various special revelations of God, such as Prophecy, Miracles, gifts of the Holy Spirit and many more but in my opinion news today I will put forward only the revelation of God by miracles.

              Genuine miracles are a special revelation of the power and presence of God, that aspect it showing also the omnipotence which is the all powerful God, however the confusion or what same people do not understand is Satan and his agents attempt to reproduce every good program and work of God. by that I will like to warn anyone that making God revelation base on miracles only is not enough, A miracle is an event of divine, and sometimes of satanic, origin that is contrary to or divergent from an existing law in nature. in brief I can say it is something beyond man ability.

              The miracles in Egypt as the Bible recorded are verify the definition which holds that the miracles may as its source of power God or Satan, Moses as God's representative and Egyptian sorcerers as Satan's representatives engaged in the same type of miracles working up to a certain point. Both threw down their rods and they turned into serpents, they did that again and again until when they tried to bring lice, the Egyptian magicians tried and failed but Moses and Aaron succeeded. this show us that in Egypt God used miracles to impose judgment upon the nation, that make us to see throughout the old testament miracles were used almost equally as acts of judgment and as acts of mercy, and on some occasions they were used as acts of judgment to the enemies of God and as acts of mercy to the people of God, therefore I will love to be in the side of mercy than judgment.

               Explaining what is meant in the definition of an event contrary to or divergent from a law in nature, the example of Simon Peter is selected. According to one of the first laws of physics, one concludes that when an object is placed into the liquid, it will sink into the liquid by the pull of gravity until it displaces its weight in the liquid. Simon Peter did stepped out of the boat into the water, in this situation Simon Peter was the object and the water was the liquid, according to the law of gravity, he would have immediately sunk into the water but he did not he even walk on the the water contrary to the law of nature. that is the miracle. the case of Miriam and Aaron in the book of numbers 12:1-8, which the Lord anger was kindled against them, Miriam was left with dreaded disease of leprosy, however Aaron was saved because of him being a High priest and having the priestly cloth with him then God placed the judgment upon her, their problem was not only about Moses wife but it went far about God talking only to Moses, but by Moses prayer God did have mercy on her.

             The miracles that Jesus performed are recorded by all four gospel writers, the total number that are recorded is 35, only one is recorded by all four which is the feeding of the five thousand, Matthew records 21 miracles, Mark records 21 miracles, Luke records 20 miracles, and John records 8 miracles, of John's eight miracles, six of them are recorded only by him, which are water made wine, healing of the nobleman's son, the impotent man, the man born blind, the raising of Lazarus and the drought of fishes after resurrection 

           The miracles did continue even in the time of the Apostles as the book of acts does record, even today with the help of the ministry of the Holy Spirit however not every miracles come from God as mention above, and signs, wonders and miracles does not mean God is with you and this revelation alone is not enough. it is important to have a good study and understanding of God theology for you to have great and complete revelation of God.

                  God bless you all

The independence day of Congo

 Opinion news

              Today in the 30 of June 1960, Congo became a free, that freedom sometimes I consider it as a curse which fallen upon this huge country with great potential, let me tell you who I am, my name is Jose T, Ntambwe born in Congo as this day they are debating about who is a Congolese as for me I am a 100% Congolese no debate about it.

               Congo as a country as we know it today was not like this before the coming of the white man, it was a place where Kingdoms was all over the land of Congo, most popular Kingdom was Kingdom Luba, Kingdom Lunda, Kingdom Kongo and others this Kingdoms did have their leaders or Kings whom did lead the Kingdoms with measure of prosperity, they were organize one things we need to stress here is they were not united block because this Kingdoms are different in cultures and traditions and their way of living, until the white men come to the land it was so.

               When the so called explore come and make know to the world that they discover something that was there before even they were born is amazing, then as president Zuma once say the problem of South Africa start when a white settler landed in South Africa this is also the case of Congo, the explore sale the land to Leopold 2 of Belgium and this man who he was the King of Belgium make sure that all the Kingdoms of Congo must became one country, remember before this they were not a country called Congo, by force and evil mean he make sure this vast land became  one as a country then start the Congolese woe, first that vast land became a private property of a man called Leopold 2 King of Belgium, for years he rule the land as his own house, under him 10 million plus Congolese lost their life, and he make sure whoever was not doing what he ask his hand must be cut off, he exploited all the mineral of the Land without accounting to anyone, because it was his private property, when his evil action was know by his European counterpart in 1908 he give the country to his Kingdom, the Belgium, he was never blame or judge for his genocide action in Congo, let us make it know that his action in Congo is worse than what Hitler did to the Jewish people in Germany however until today nothing happen to him or his descendent.

             1908, Congo became know as Congo Belgium, this again the white men of Belgium became the master of everything, not like in English rule country in Africa, but in Congo Belgium, the oppressors were in charge of everything , which is all the administration was lead or control by the white oppressors, all doctors, mayors were white oppressors, for the Congolese of high education was level 4 primary school, and this was done to make sure that the Congolese people remain in bondage , one of the Belgium did even said that for independence in Congo will be only discus in 1980, can you imagine, however when Ghana became the first African country to be free, a man called Lumumba also inspired by the Ghana Kwame the leader of the freedom Ghana, Lumumba start talking about the independence of Congo now, soon the people like Kasa Vubu the first president of Congo, Kalonji mulopwe , Tshombe, Bolingako raise up against the oppressors and they did not have others choice than to accept the defeat and Congo became free in 30 of June 1960, but no one from the Congolese side was ready to government the vast Congo land, because none of Congolese people at the time was raedy to do anything in the country, because all was done by the oppressors, now they are gone and no one is ready to do anything, this is what happen 7 days after the declaration of the independence they was a civil war and the separatist of the Katanga and Kasai declared the separation to the rest of the country, 11 days later Lumumba as the premier minister was arrested by Mobutu and put to death by Mobutu.

         Here what I want to say, Lumumba did ask for the independence of Congo as it is, meaning no region or province of Congo must became a country, however by my humble thinking that is were we miss everything, by bringing this vast Land together it was a mistake, why the first election which for me the real one, they were not a majority winner, this push the parties to make alliances but because Lumumba party have 33% which high than any others parties he became first ministers, this is the problem even today no party can have majority rule in Congo because of this situation of bringing all of together, this also was the reason why Lumumba did not rule the country, he only last 21 days in power it took him all night to have a government ministers because every provinces wanted to have someone in power, 1965 Mobutu took power by plotting against Kasa Vubu, he became the country second president in his first 5 years in power he was good and the economy was great and the copper was doing great, in 1970 he change the country name to Zaire and the currency also then things start going bad, in the mid 1975 the price of copper went down and the country also, 1990 the cold war was over and Mobutu is no longer needed by the west, 1997 Kabila took power and he was killed and his son became president then 2018 Felix Tshisekedi became president.

        But the Congo problem still high since 1960, poverty is high or one of the highest in the world, beside all the mineral Congo is very poor country, no infrastructure, no health facility, no road , no good school, even most of others African countries with no mineral resource like they have developpe their more than Congo, but Congolese are still busy killing each others to a war which have no cause, Congolese have easy language of insulting each others without a cause, I ask myself this question was it a mistake to have this Land as one country? because we are going nowhere it is with heavy heart I am saying this, but in all let us have a blessed birthday and a great 61 birthday.

          May the Lord bless the great Congo.

The Natural Attribute of God

Opinion news

             The substance of God is his essence or his being. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the essence of God, the nature of God, and the attributes of God. In this opinion letter, I shall discuss the attributes of God but only one attribute only, the natural attributes of God which are classified by some scholar of Bible as non moral attributes. by the natural attributes of God is meant those qualities of divine personality that do not involve moral or emotional issues. and also man does not have the natural attributes of God, which are omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, and eternity. however as I said before only the omnipotence I will talk about.

              By the omnipotence of God I mean that God is all powerful, with the ability to do whatever he wills. Let me dwell on this, in some measure Man is seen or qualify as powerful but not like God's power, Man power is quantify by what he has for example a Man with a lot of money is called powerful man, here I am talking about the billionaires which are few anyway, Man with position of authority like president of the country, let me put it clear here, it is not about the name of the countries that count but being a president that matter because you are in the position of power, Man with the position of authority in any scale of power in the society is also called powerful, even in the family sometimes age does not count when you are in the position of power than those who are elder to you, however this power of Man is limited, also most of the times Man does not have control over his power which lead Man to be a dictator, most of problem of the world is because Man is drunk to his power and he think only for himself not for others, like the wars in the world is about Man power just is out of control. Because Man want to dominate and to rule others men.

              By contrast God's will is limited by his nature. He cannot contradict himself, nor can he do evil. He will not grant the power of making free moral decisions to his intellectual, created beings and at the same time withhold from them this free moral agency, God's power is limitless and man power is limited, but God's power is harnessed to harmonized and coincide with his purposes. It does not minimize God's power to say that he cannot look upon iniquity with approval, that he cannot deny himself, lie, commit sin. God has power over his power and exercises it in harmony with his freedom and nature, God could have kept sin out of his universe and he could save a sinner against the sinner's will, but this would be a contradiction of the relationship of freedom that he has established in the free will of his rational creature.

            There are actions of God and demonstrations of his power that are in harmony with God's nature and will which cannot be hindered or withstood by any other force in the universe.  Some of these demonstrations have been manifested in God's work of creation, in his miracles, in the revealing truth through the prophets, in his sending Christ into the world, in his sending the Holy Spirit, and in his answering prayers that are prayed in Jesus name. Also in the future in the second coming of Christ. 

            God's omnipotent power was demonstrated when God said, let there be light and there was light, when God put the rainbow in the sky, when Moses rolled back the waters of the Red sea, when Joshua commanded the Sun to stand still, when Jesus said to the storm tossed sea peace be still. there are plenty of the example in the Bible of God's power my letter can not contain it all.  

            When God demonstrates his power let men stand in awe, let angels prostrate themselves, and let devils shudder with trembling. None can withstand his power. God can indeed do what he purposes to do.

           God bless you all 

African Youth

 Opinion news

               Tomorrow is the 16 of June which in South Africa it is a big day, on 16 June 1976 Youth were killed in Soweto by the apartheid regime, it was a cold and brutal killing by the minority white government regime, the young boys and girls were protesting about the language that the government was imposing to black for the learning at the school.

               By the looks of things when I check about age in Africa, I am really amazed to observe that Africa is the continent that is bless with youth and the vast population of Africa continent is the young people, however there is a problem in this, I can also say which is for Africa as a blessing it is also became a curse! Because it looks like Africa does not know what to do with his youth! When you compare what we have with others continents, Africa is the young one in the average of age, Europe, America, Asia are all old in the average of age.

               When you look at the job opportunity African young people are victim of not having job, let me put it clear, there is no job at all for the young people in Africa, this I do not understand why we are not able to create and make job opportunity for the young people in Africa, let say this the most great things to happen to Africa is not the mining or minerals that our beautiful land have but the young people, if we can know how to used them for something positive our Africa land will be magnificent, because the power of our future is not our minerals only but a dynamic youth and vibrant young people, will make our Africa great again, our energy is in the wrong direction when we neglect our young people, things need to be done for us to make them see their part of today and tomorrow, most all they are the future of our beautiful land.

              There is sad story about our youth which is going on and no one is talking about it, I can compared it with the event of 16 of June 1976, the difference is that event was and still be made aware every years in the media and by the South Africa government, however this sad story which is happening every days , even when I am writing this opinion, boys and girls of Africa are dying by trying to cross the mediterranean sea to get into Europe for better life, and all of African government are quiet about it, year after years there is AU meetings I can said I did not hear anything about this from our African leaders! Amazing, this I call it silence contribution to the killing of our young people, if it goes on like I may say it a genocide that our leaders are making against their own people. this decision we may blame them but desperation moment make people to make tough decision, because also Africa can not provide them great opportunity and for them Europe is the eldorado or a place of better life, if that is in the risk of their life so be it, because to many of them staying in their countries it is death sentence therefore trying to cross the sea is better than living an humiliation life of poverty.

            I can assure you I do have sympathy with those young people and I feel them and understand them, because it seem like only the elite minority are the one to have a better life in Africa, let us rise up to the challenge as the youth in South Africa did rise against a brutal and evil killing regime of apartheid and conquer them, yes we can do it again for our youth than letting them down and dying far away from their sacred land and without a proper burial from their love one, in Africa burial is sacred, some parent still hope and think that their children are still alive but not knowing that the child is long dead. our leaders have obligation to rise above and do the right things by using our young people which are one of our great resource ever, let us used it because they are our bright light of today and tomorrow.

                  Young people do not give up, Arise Arise Arise young people.

                                       God bless Africa.

Who has bewitched Africa

 Opinion news

               When it is about witchcraft in Africa it is not a matter that people in Africa take it lightly because it make people killed and some will not talk to you or even you can be banished by the all community, some people in Africa their carrier just finished because of the rumors about them being called witches or woman will never get marriage because of it, some used it for power in the command and others for the healing power, in reality it is very complex the matter of witchcraft in Africa, and a matter no one dare to challenger anyone in day light. 

                Why I ask this question of who has bewitched African? simple because African in general are believers of the most high power above, or above the living there is a power that is above all the living and that high power does protect and guide them and also bless them, the living on this earth, also when things does not go well, they will consult their most high, where it get muddy is when they consult their ancestors or this being who possess power and ability to communicate with the others side which is not see with naked eyes, that is where things get muddy, by that I means manipulation and scamming became the reality. but all is to get answer to their quest to comfort situation, but for this question I am asking a simple of what I observe of what is going on in same country in Africa.

                Before I handle the Paul Mbiya story, let me says this, when Mzee Kabila was killed in Congo, He was still a president at the time and his son Joseph Kabila then became president of Congo, this make Omar Bongo president of Gabon to said things like that will not happen in Gabon, then after sometimes he also died then what happen! his son became the president of Gabon not only that the guy is sick, he can not walk or talk anymore but he is still the president of the country, even worse people whom he supposed to lead does not know if he is alive or not and he is still the president, this is the dynasty of the sons replacing their fathers in power, in Togo Eyadema did the same, Congo Brazaville the dictator which is in power since no body can remember when, he is also preparing his son to take the power, I did not know that democracy is about letting your son to take over under so called election where the opposition is been kick out. 

Pan African Parliament

 Opinion News

               I will love for us to understand the concept of this institution call pan african parliament [PAP], it is one of the organ of AU, it was founded since 2004, it have a president and secretary general and all countries of Africa sent their elected deputes to represent them, the problem is I do not know how many resolution is been taken there to better the life of African? since 2004 it was as for me always under the radar without making to much of noise until recently when in their session they were chaotic scene among those so call noble deputes who supposed to deal with the better life of African children.

               Let first deal with this situation, Africa as a continent is divided in regional block, we have west region, east region, south side,north region and the central region, this is just the beginning of the problem, you may ask but this is not an issue, no you are wrong because it is a big issue because this countries in their regional block they are not ready to let go their regional block for the sake of the continental issue, now you will put this situation also which of the Northern regional block always see themselves as Arab first not as African, they will be African when it is for their benefit and Arab all the times and also associate with Arab countries of the middle East, then there is this problem which we did get from our past with colonialism, the issues is about the languages, in Africa there is this issues of Francophone, Anglophone, and countries that Lusophone, which are portuguese speaking African countries this block are a great problem, which is became a tower of babel of the Bible times. There is a situation where the Francophone will go against the Anglophone and the Anglophone will also go against the Francophone, this language block most of the times they are serving their colonial masters goals, example everything that the French government will ask they are African French speaking countries to do, they will do it, now all this situation it is making the Pan Africa Parliament very difficult to operate and help bring prosperity and make Africa a better place to live.

                 Even so in my humble opinion this situations which I mention above can be resolved easily if we became really  a real Pan African like Kwame Nkruma, Mze Julius Nyerere, Amilcar Cabral, Patrice Lumunba let me just names this few, who were the messengers of pan africanism and were fighting for the united Africa however  all this situations has make that Africa is now more divide, let me give you this example to travel in Africa as African is not easy, you need to have visas and those visas are not free, I can acknowledge that some progress has been made also but in majority it is still a major issue, the Pan African Parliment was going to vote a new president then the situation was the Southern regional block said it is now their time to have a president, because their region since the beginning of pan African parliament did not have a president,  by the look of the things it seem an easy things to do or to handle however this is not so with Africa politic, put this in mind the others regional blocks and regional speaking blocks must play their role in this voting process but if the Francophone gangs come together plus others regional blocks against the candidate of the southern regional candidate there is no chance of southern regional candidate to win and the situation will remain the same which southern region will not have a president again, let me break it down the French speaking countries are many and also their blocks have many countries than southern region, that where the problem was therefore chaos and boxing fight and karate and war of words was the norm of the day for two days, the southern region make sure that the election must not go ahead and disrupt the seating of the parliament and this has actually make African people to know about the parliament.

               The question is does this parliament really helpful for African? my answer is no and yes, let me explain it, why I said no; because the parliament in it position now it is not helping at all, why I said yes; because if the parliament is given power on adopting laws and make those laws to be implemented then the parliament will be helpful, but as it is today the parliament is a talk shop that will be know for only things that is not helpful at all, like the things that happen there when they were about to vote a new president.

God bless Africa

Spiritual Leadership

 Opinion news

                      Let us put our mind on leadership, and I will be talking of Spiritual leadership because it is the corner center of all development of any nations, when we study the history of any countries, you will arrived to see that actually what make that nation great it is all about the great leaders that they have, let me few of them, Abraham Lincoln, Churchill, Ghandi, Patrice E. Lumumba, Nelson Mandela, Thomas Sankara and many more, one of the fallacy that the media often portrays leaders as gifted, charismatic,physically imposing, attractive people. that is only in the movies and tv dramas as you will see this is not always the case. Napoleon Bonaparte, Joseph Stalin, Harry Truman were all short 5'5' tall, Abraham Lincoln had a very homely face and gangly physique, it is amazing really to notice that many of the famous leaders of our time and times past came from dysfunctional families and poor economic situations especially in Africa our leaders for our freedom were all poor and not great academic education either. there is also saying among the scholar of the Bible that Apostle Paul was ugly, short, and with bad eyesight. how true it is I do not know.

                       What is Spiritual Leadership it is a guide to understand God's design for spiritual leaders. the twenty first century is the most advanced age in the history, but effective biblical leadership has never been more need. Clear guidance is given on how leaders can make a positive impact on the people and organizations they are currently leading. I personally like most scholars believe that leaders are both born and made.

                      The leader's character, for some people, the greatest challenge is becoming the kind of person that others want to follow. Leaders without followers are not leaders; they are simply out for a stroll. the issue of influence is critical, especially in Christian leadership. In people's attempts to enlist a following, some have resorted to developing the appearance of a leader rather than developing the character of a leader.

                      Let us think about Position in Character of the leader; In many areas position has been generally associated with authority and influence. Pastors were automatically respected by virtue of their position. As a result, would be leaders pursued positions and offices of prominence in order to gain the respect they desired. each call to a larger, more prestigious church brought great dignity to the aspiring minister, this is what I call illegitimate source of influence, the flaws in this idea; People can achieve influential positions without developing a character to match their assignment. People who use political or unethical means to  acquire positions lack the integrity they need to maintain the respect of those they lead. Both the secular and spiritual realms see countless men and women erroneously trying to satisfy their empty souls by amassing a following. The sad truth is that many Christian organizations and churches are led by people who sought an office for all the wrong reasons.

                    Let us think about Power in the character of the leader; History has thought us about Margaret Thatcher when she won a monumental third victory as prime minister of Great Britain during the 1980, she seemed an invincible political force. but members of her party chafed under a leader with such strong convictions. Ultimately her own party, not the opposition, forced her to resign. Once people chose not to follow, the most successful British leader of her era could no longer lead. Even the business world has realized that it cannot operate with a totalitarian mind set. There was a time when dominant business leaders such as Henry Ford could bully labor movements and make arrogant statements such as " Customers can have a car in any color they want, as long as it is black". this illegitimate source of influence are, the flaws in this idea are ; Christian leaders invite rebellion when they use force to achieve  their organizational goals. Pastors have used numerous strong arm tactics to get their way. Some have violent tempers. They are charming and cordial as long as church members submit to their leadership. Spiritual dictatorship can be the most oppressive form of tyranny. Some Christian leaders believe that God delegates his authority to leaders and that followers are obligated to submit to them unquestioningly as if they were obeying God.

                  Let us think of Personality in the character of the leader; as every child learns, there is usually more than one way to get what you want. If it doesn't come automatically[ position] and if bullying [ power] doesn't work, you can always turn on the charm![ personality] the flaws idea in this illegitimate source of influence are ; People often follow leaders because of his charisma and winsome personality. The popularity of a leader is not in itself a bad thing, but it cannot be the only thing. Great leaders build great organizations, not necessarily great reputations. Pastors who function more on personality than on true leadership qualities rarely stay in one place for long. Personality without purpose and charm without competence are recipes for ruin.

                 The legitimate sources of influence is God's authentication calling and blessing from above, two great example in the Bible is the calling of Moses and Joshua, by that leaders do not have to prove God is guiding them. God's presence will be unmistakable. Leaders like Samuel, Deborah, Elijah and many more did not to prove themselves about God's presence their character just reveal God. Charles Finney said ;" When God is pleased with a leader's life, his divine presence is unmistakable"

Thank you be all under the blessing of the almighty and let him make you all leader 

Africa Hero

 Opinion news

               Let us speak of the great achievement that one of African man just accomplished and to be precise they are two of them in that team of Chelsea, I am speaking of N'golo Kante and Edouard Mendy the champion of Europe the most coveted cup in the world of football, but I will only talk about N'golo Kante because he has been consistent and his rise to the world of football is been awesome.

               This African son, as many before him show us that when you give an African son opportunity and proper environment, these African son are really excellent and their gifts and talent is second to none, in the past African son like, Roger Milla, Samuel Eto, Patrick Mboma, Kanu, JJ Okosha, Finindi George, George Weah, Kabongo Ngoie, Makelele, and Lucas Radebe the list goes on and on because this African son have show cast their talent all over the league of Europe with success that is above any one of their European and South American teammates.

                The story of N'golo Kante is very peculiar, this guy rise in the stardom is amazing and it make everyone to pay attention to it, as African and born in Africa, from Mali without any financial support from his parent but having only the dream like most of African man, one day I will go to Europe and better my life, above all he have the gift and talent of football which is running inside his blood, it all started in France, what make him special, the man is small not a giant like most of the boys from Africa are, and he is playing in the position where according to expert you supposed to be giant and tall but N'golo Kante is not none of that, what is interesting Wenger when he was Arsenal manager refused to buy him because he was small, who know if this was the blessing which he needed, otherwise we were not going to see the magic that we are seeing right now.

                 In the year 2014, N'golo Kante make his debut as professional footballer at the club called Caen, one of the small club in France not all the glamour teams of France Ligue1, from day one, he did not let the opportunity past him and he got it with both hands. then in 2015 in reality this is just the following season, then he join Leicester City for 9 million which is modest consider how the transfer market is perceived, also let us say this the premier league in England it is the most competitive league in Europe and it is very physical, here we have N'golo Kante small in physic and a playing in the middle of the park, oh my word N'golo Kante conquer England with amazing display of skill which was above all and him and Leicester City teammates make the unthinkable by winning the premier league above teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City this was in 2016, and this is his first major cup achievement , 2017 he join Chelsea one of the big club in England and Europe in the same season he won again the premier league, his second major honor in the club level, then come 2018 the world cup France manage to make him play for them, he became the world cup winner with France,in 2019 he became Europa league winner with Chelsea this is another major honor, then this year 2021 in champion league with Chelsea N'golo Kante was the great player above the rest, he destroy Madrid in the semi final alone and he handle Manchester City in the final again, as for the rest of his majors honor either with the club or national team, N'GOLO KANTE  was and is the core of the team, it is like without him the engine will not work or start, in only six seasons the incredible N'GOLO KANTE made a clean sweep of all major club and country honors, now let me say at 11 of July of 2021, he will be European champion with France, this is an honor which so many players some of them the best in the world did not win these honors, I am seeing him being the ballon d'or of this year because there is no one like him this season.

              To conclude the man is so humble and down to earth like nothing is happening to his life, for him cups is just a benefit that come after doing his work, then is like he say next let us go again. this make me to say this with a proper situation and environment Africa and African can change the world and make Africa a better place for all, before honor is humility, N'golo Kante smile and humility must i repeat it must teach us one things and how make our opportunity count.

Let Africa Arise again through is gifts and talent not only minerals.

        Be bless all

Against All Odds

Bible Survey of the Book of first Chronicles part2

Africa day

 Opinion news

                The 25 of may is the Africa day, As an African man I have a thought for this beautiful continent it population endure a lot of hardship but they still standing tall, and they smile and sing their songs with a great big smiles on their faces.

                 Africa as a name was also given to this beautiful land by the outsiders who come here put the population of this beautiful continent under extreme conditions, let me start by saying before the whites man come into AFRICA, they were Kingdoms which have great civilization and great prosperity and also great people some of them did do great trips to Saud Arab of today for religious pelerinage and the man was the riches man on the earth at that times, Soudiata Keita the King Manden Empire, one of the great empire in Africa, the Monomotapa empire, the Luba and Kongo kingdoms in Congo, the Zulu Kingdom with the great Shaka Zulu, also the Timbuktu which was the high place of learning, my opinion will not contain all this name because the list is long of this great things that the African people did before the coming of the white man in Africa, the concept that is out there, Africa was without civilization before the coming of the white man is false, the fact is the old Egypt was rule by African that goes with all the pyramid and things found in Egypt was made by African and to be precise blacks African, and this was a prosperous and more civilize Africa ever, than what they are trying to sale to us by the narration of the oppressor, African saying goes like this the day a lion will tell us his story we will stop believing the hunters story. and that times is now that African must tell their own story to the world.

               In 1996 then the president of South Africa, president Thabo Mbeki give a speech[ I will advice you the google it] that speech was I AM AN AFRICAN, at the end of the speech He said today I am proud to be African, that speech change my perception of Africa that I am living in, because the difficulty of Africa make me to be blind of how beautiful Africa is, the Africa land is so beautiful with forest, rivers, desert, animals oh we have Lions, Elephant, Okapi in Congo, Rhinos, Leopards and many kind of snakes, the list is long, our land beneath got all kind of minerals Gold, Diamond, Copper, Coltan, platinum, Oil and many more even we have not yet discover that is how rich Africa is all about,on top of it all it is young continent with a great number of younger population in the world that is the potential which make us to be different and it will make us rise easily.

            But beside all this great things that the almighty God has shower Africa with, we still having huge problem, when you watch the news of Africa it always about wars, sickness natural disaster, political fighting which I do not want to lie it is depressing by watching those kind of the news, also let say there is also great story to tell of how the modern Africa is changing, there is also African children who are contributing in the world development, in the science, economy, even in sport and music for decade modern African are the pioneer in this domain, in some of the cases they are doing it outside of their mother land because the condition is favorable but after they are still African, all is not lost but we still have a long way to go to make Africa rise again.

          We need to reflect on this after going through the slavery and still standing tall, colonization and still standing tall, apartheid still standing tall, segregation and racism still standing tall and seeing how our brothers and sister young as they are dying at the sea by trying to cross to Europe for better life, it break my heart and say we still have a lot to do to make this paradise continent paradise again not only in the spirit but with see it in our life time, built a better Africa for all African.

Africa Arise is a reality 

In this Africa Day I am proud to be call African

Pandemic the Covid-19 issue

 Opinion news

                Let me first give the meaning of the pandemic, pandemic is an epidemic of an infectious diseases that has spread across a large region, for example multiples continents or worldwide, now as we know what is all about, I still remember when WHO did declare Covid-19 as a pandemic, the world was in the panic and experts and no experts were all speculating of what was going to happen and even the religious leaders enter the frame, I can said the situation was muddy.

                My point is not about finding who is guilty about this pandemic but I will want to address something here, this pandemic started in China, and how did China deal with about it remain a mystery because there is no much that the Chinese authority are release about the beginning and where did it originated but in small amount of time all the world was in the fire of this pandemic, yes the saying that goes the world is a small village was proven correct by the pandemic Covid-19.

               They were people or so called experts whom did said Africa continent will be the most affected of all because of the poor facility of hospitals and the health facility in many African countries are not up to the developpe countries, but they were all wrong because the so called developpe countries were losing people badly and their so called modern hospitals were no longer able to accommodate the sick people and panic and scary moment was all over the place and they was a time no one knew what to do! then the race to vaccine started and we now hearing about the vaccine will be deliver in about short period of times which was done and let me say it is a miracles.

                Let me say this again in all of this and which many people died in Europe, America and now India and South America but Africa still have very few number of dead people or sick of Covid-19, expect South Africa and all the experts have no answers to this, I can only said thank you to God all mighty.

                The point I want to make is when the vaccine was made to the people, we are now seeing the true character of the human being, then the class has appear again between the rich and the poor countries, because the vaccine became the rare commodity that only the rich countries want to have it and keep it for themselves, first the created what they covax where they said it will accommodate all the poor countries, then people said bravo this is noble thing to do, but wait a moment then the same rich countries whom wanted to support the poor countries went ahead and buy all or most of the vaccines and stock it all in their countries even in some instant they buy more even what they need to have, they did not even hearken to the WHO that equitable distribution of the vaccines to all is essential for the eradication of the pandemic but this rich countries did not hear that and they went ahead got the vaccines for themselves, it is like the race for the vaccines was open and the rich countries have formula 1 cars and poor countries have cart race cars, you will see for yourself the result will not be the same, we know find ourselves that rich countries are now vaccinating kids because they have finish with the vaccination of older people, even some of them are giving money as a way to bring those among them does not what to get the vaccination, when in Africa for example in the time of my writing not even 1% of the population is vaccinated and in Asia also not many have been vaccinated, now we are seeing India being under very sever wave of covid-19 but the rich countries are having stocks of the vaccine that they do not need or used.

                there is also the issue of the wave of the vaccines patent that some African countries must used and make the vaccines themselves because most of African still not trusting the vaccines, the history the vaccines with African need to be consider here, and also it must not became the way of making money and making African to be poor again with the selling of the vaccines.

                This is what make me to conclude with the Biblical verse from John 13:34, that I will say Christ love for us is not dependent on quality in us that make us lovable. He love us because He is love regardless of our strengths or weaknesses. in same manner I am calling to the rich countries to come to their sense and compassion that make them do covax for poor countries and if the vaccines is the most answer for this pandemic therefore let it be given to all countries a respective of the strengths and weaknesses of the poor countries, that is what Jesus said love your one another, we will not fulfil that when others countries are suffering from the covid-19 and others are busy closing down their borders for others that is not what call love one another and the world is a small village.

For us the overcome the pandemic let us care and love for one another.

take care and see you next time for another opinion

Israeli vs Palestinian conflict

 Opinion

          The conflict of Israel and the Palestinian people is a long conflict that no one has an answer to it, sometimes or most of the times the religious leaders say a lot about by the interpretation of the scriptures most the times with biases views which painted God as a monster or God which is some group of people against the others.

          Let me give this brief of the nation of Israel as we know now, let say this I am not going to give you Israel as the Bible say for now, but I am going to give a brief history of Israel as we know it now as a country, it was founded after the second world war, and the United Nation resolution, to allocate the Israeli that piece of land in the middle east, then come the masse of exodus of Israeli most of them from Europe running from the masse killing from the hands of the Nazi, that brought the establishment of the nation of Israel as we know it, and they were staying side by side with the Palestinian without any conflict in the beginning in the fact when you study the early history that was very peaceful time and even the piece of the land allocated to them by United Nation resolution was small portion of the land, that was fine until they Israeli became powerful military wise let me put it this way, military powerful than all of the region.

          But where this crises we are seeing coming from, it is because of selfish, wanting to have more power, the fear of the other or wanting to destroy the other on the map of the earth if you are God the creator, enter the frame of the religious extremist by claiming right to Jerusalem as the Holy city or place, when Christ in John 4:21 put it clear that there is no more Holy site than the body of each person because we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, not long after the ego of being powerful was up, the war between the Arab and Israeli started and Egypt find themselves in the wrong side of the war and they were defeated after 6 days of the war, and that victory give Israeli especially those in the extremist side declare that it was God giving them victory against the pagan people and then Israel took advantage of seizing bigger portion of the land, even taking Egypt land by wanting it to be like in the times of the Joshua and David from the Bible, therefore the circle of the lost of life begin since then until today.

          Military Israel became stronger than any nations that are around Israel even having nuclear bombe, then Palestinian were driver out of their land and those small number that stay behind were put under suffering by the new master call Israeli, history just repeat itself , yesterday the Israeli were under the suffering of the Nazi but now they are making the Palestinian suffer , you may say but this people know very well what is suffering therefore we must not make others people suffer but let us be with compassion and mercy but no they are behaving contrary even to what the Bible said, because the book of Moses which is the base of their faith has provision on the foreigners and how to treat foreigners, but their military power blinded them.

         Thinking that solution will come out of military power it is a grave mistakes because the determination of the people for what they think it is their right no military power can stop that, before we used to see the news image of Palestinian fighting of the stones but now they are using rockets just who know what they will used tomorrow? and in mean times people are dying especially children and women and older people because of selfish leaders from both sides who think that they are right by playing this dangerous games of the war. they will not going to be the winner in this, they just need to sit down and try work how can they live together side by side and sharing the resource that land provide for all of them.

          In conclusion trying to connect this new Israel as we know it, and connect it to Abraham rightfully or wrongly it is a complicating matter and making it to be so complex, because I do not believe God, as the Bible is presenting him will allow things like this to happen one group of the people because they are not his people? I do not think so, because ACTS 17:30.

Opinion and as leader of opinion let me have a say

 It is very interesting times we are going, and with the power of social medias everybody today have a platform to put things out there and have people following him or her, especial today with the populism and extremism are very up and with a lot of followers.

I am going to put my opinion on the debate of when a Christian leader fall short in the moral ethic set by the Bible and it bring the Christian family divide in two, because there is those who support the leader and those who go against the leader, this is my opinion today as leader myself at Christian family I will like to put some opinion in this matter.

I call it patronize why I call it patronize, it is because when  I watch the movie, I mean secular movie or tv drama, you will see this scene when the person cheat on his wife or the husband when he or she been caught, you will hear this sentence almost all the movie have them, No honey she or he mean nothing to me, it was a mistake, please you are the most person of my life, but the question is you did cheat and you waited until you been caught to come to say all this sweet words, this is what I call patronizing someone with the motivation word which is what you want someone to hear  but inside you , practically it mean nothing and you have no remorse at all.

That is what the secular world does and they will go like that until all the excuses are run out of them, but the Christians world, is different they have this way of patronizing the situation also,when a Christian leader fall short Bible ethics, you will hear this from the Christians family ; do not touch the anointed man of God, or this one I am also a human being, or this one the one who have not sin must cast first the stoned, the motivation words goes on and on.

When you study very well both excuses, you will arrived to this conclusion that both sides they just copy each others and are using the method that is used in their circle, but the problem is not solved at all, and contrary it make the situation worse.

Let see how the Bible solve situation like this, because nothing happen to us is new, let see King David situation with Bathsheba[ THE STORY IS ON 2 SAMUEL 12] when prophet Nathan was sent to King David by God , King David reaction was not of defending himself, especially when the parable was explain to him that he was the culprit, what he did was he took the matter to God and He repent with clean heart and He show remorse, no way I saw in the Bible King David did said to prophet Nathan that He is a man according to God heart, but He went to God and seek forgiveness of his sin and the Lord did restore him and he did pay his sin consequence, when you read the book of Samuel you will understand it, actually God was going to kill him but his repentance was a TRUE  repentance not a leap service.

Let see the story in the book of John chapter 8 on the adultery woman, the Jewish mob were ready to stone her to death but they brought her to Jesus and my God they thought Jesus was going to accept their method, but Jesus said to them the one without sin must cast first the stone and none of them did, this is not mean JESUS was accepting the sin or saying let us sin but Jesus telling them about restoration and forgiveness, the most important things is the word Jesus utter to the women, by saying go and sin not, that is very important for us to note and carry it in our heart, go and sin not, Jesus is teaching us that after our sin is made public and when we repent about our sin in private, it mean we must not commit it again, both from this woman and King David, I do not see in the Bible where they went sin again the same sin.

in conclusion saying to people you are also a human being then you are able to do such act but let me tell you this before you commit that act as far we know you were still a human being, also saying you are anointed man of God therefore people must not touch you but as far as we know, you are still a man of God before you commit the act, the best things to do is to go to God and humble yourself and have remorse about your sin and ask God to forgive and give you power over the sin because without God power and Holy Spirit we will not win over sin, the Bible said do not let sin dominion over you.

I am unique or You are unique

 Let us talk on something very peculiar which is to be unique, to be who you are not trying to be somebody else, today world most of people want to copy or to be like someone else, let me make it clear, I am not against having someone as a role model or a pattern to follow but to be like someone else is impossible, because we are all different and that is why we were not all born same time or same year, I will support my topic from the scriptures, which is from Judges 16:4-7,11 and 17 by reading this portion of the scripture you will arrived to understand how Samson wanted to be something which He was not.

The story is about Samson, let me just give the breakdown on that story, it was during the oppression the Philistine to the people of the Israel, history just repeat itself remember they were slave in Egypt for 430 years then, now here again they are again suffering under the hand of the Philistine for 40 years, if you can think of the nations or race group whom went trough slavery, colonization, and apartheid there is no one than African and Africa continent.

For those who like the number or numerology , number 40 is the number of the transition, look very well in the Bible you will see that number 40 is repeat a lot, let me give some of it, Jesus Christ did fast for 40 days, the Spies sent to the promise land did spy for 40 days, Moses did fast for 40 days, the flood was for 40 days , Elijah did fast for 40 days, the wandering in the wilderness by the Israelites lasted for 40 years then you will that 40 is the number of transition because at the end of number 40 you will enter to the new atmosphere and here we will see something new of the wow factor will happen with the birth of Samson.

Samson's mother was barren and it must be God special intervention or grace for his birth to happen, God himself trough the Angel announce the birth of the son and his Samson was given, because the son is unique therefore the diet of the mother must change during all the times of her pregnancy, when you are carrying something unique you do not walk or follow popular believe anymore, his uniqueness was declare and proclaim fully without confusion, he was a Nazarene, he was not call to touch dead body, not drinking of the Alcohol and also not cutting his hair, this make him to be unique and not like any other man out there.

Do not copy be unique because even your DNA is only unique to you, when you start copying you will waste energy and time, to be extraordinary is to be unique and it require discipline and hard work and excellent. 

As long as Samson was keeping his principle he was unique and powerful a man able to beat an army alone without help from any one but when he wanted to be like anyone else He became an ordinary man all his glory left him, please let us stay unique without copying any body and the Samson will emerge and lead the world in the new path of glory and victory and financial freedom and sound leadership.

Be bless and stay unique

God's Grace Rewrite my Life

 Introduction

Let us first try to give the meaning to the word Grace, this word is a theological word believe you me, there is many meaning for the word grace, I will consider few of the meanings, Grace is a favor that I do not merit, also the word grace in Hebrew is CHANAN it mean to be CONSIDERATE, to show favor but in GREEK is CHARIS, where we have the word like charismatic.

That is why I say Grace is the energy that help me do things beyond my ability. that is not mean for lazy people but people who are hard workers and do things extra ordinary.

There the Grace that draw us to salvation come to everyone, because Christ Jesus died for everyone. That is why I put it this way there is Grace for everyone which I name it LOGOS GRACE and GRACE FOR INDIVIDUAL which I name it GRACE RHEMA.

NOAH FIND GRACE

" BUT NOAH FOUND GRACE IN THE EYES OF THE LORD " GENESIS 6:8

                       One of the great experience show case in the old testament by the Holy Scripture is how the Lord grace rewrites the life of the many Bible characters, sometimes contrary to popular believe that Grace is not to plain in the old testament but by study the scriptures you will see how Grace is very imminent in both testaments.

                       The case of Noah is very awesome, that verse say to us, that Noah found Grace......  The question is was Noah seeking Grace? No is the answer, because the verses before that verse 8 is very clear, Noah was not seeking anything, in fact the situation describe by the scriptures is very doom, men were wicked and doing abominations, which God was not please and judgement was decree by God that the world will be destroyed.

                       But Noah found Grace, this does not mean He was clean, without sin than the others, but Grace choose Noah and teach Noah of what God wanted him to do and what God was expecting from him. The future life of the humanity was depending on Noah, how he will respond to the Grace calling, on the shoulder of Noah there was the future, Grace does not only solved today problem and it always solved tomorrow things,as in this case the population of the world we all come from now children.

                      God's Grace rewrite Noah life, because Noah is no longer the same guy anymore, if before this Noah was just a simple guy but from now on since Grace choose him, he is no longer the same, the answer of the world of that time was on NOAH hand, they was a crisis and that crisis needed an answer and Grace did give Noah the answer about it , Grace has make Noah to be successful, even today after many years we are still talking about him, even after our generation Noah name will always be mention. We need to know that the flood was universal and by Grace NOAH did have the answer for the flood. 

                     Grace make even the secular world to acknowledge, they were once upon the time the flood which was universal and Noah and his family did survive about it by building a boat.

Noah have one promise only which was build the boat, which will saved the rest of the universe, and he did it. the universe as we know it was not like this before the flood, by God's grace through Noah the universe was rewrote to what we know today.

Grace always give and make provision for the person he choose.
