Luke 4:16”Then Jesus
went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath he went as
usual to the synagogue. He stood up to read the scriptures and was handed the
book of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it
is written “The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has chosen me to bring
good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and
recovery of sight to the blind; to set free the oppressed and announce that the
time has come when the Lord will save his people.” Genesis 1:4-“In the beginning
when God created the universe the earth was formless and desolate. The raging
ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the spirit of
God was moving over the water. Then God commanded “Let there be light”, and
light appeared. God was pleased with what he saw”
It may seem
to be amazing and surprising that the moment God Almighty pitched camp upon the
continent of Africa he immediately began to instruct by way of his holy spirit
a young African academic population to quest for Truth, Knowledge and wisdom.
Just like he
did in ancient Biblical days when he decreed “Let there be light and light
appeared, so has the good Lord done it again but this time on the beautiful
mighty continent of Africa.
Light
according to the philosophy of the Greeks refers to wisdom, knowledge and
Truth.
In Hebraic understanding
light metaphorically denotes direction, guidance, and leadership. No wonder
David says somewhere in the book of Psalms your word is a lamp unto my feet and
a light in my pathway.
The quest
for Truth, wisdom, and knowledge through the inspiration of the awesome wind is
very pivotal for a continent which has always been beset by ignorance.
Ignorance is more dangerous than the most deadly disease in the world; it has
cut off many people in Africa from ever amounting to anything meaningful and worthwhile.
Ignorance
killed, and destroyed the life of my mother even before her time. One of the
most deadly things in the course of any given era, is a generation that decides
to thrive on inspiration rather than information. In the gospel of St. Luke
4:18”Jesus boldly declares in a religious setting, “The spirit of the Lord is
upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor”.
Good news to
the poor refers to relevant divine information that is equipped with the
substance/ability to give a deprived people a set of opportunities which they
can explore to better their standard of living. In other wards, Jesus earmarks
that the first divine warranty of his anointing is to inform, educate, and
empower the mindset of a group of people whose minds are more ignorant than knowledgeable.
After pitching camp on the continent of Africa
the spirit of God has began to rise-up a generation of young Africans who are
whipping away ignorance from this mighty CONTINENT SO THAT IGNORANCE SHALL
CEASE FROM BEING THE GREAT DESTROYER OF THE African race.
Furthermore,
with immediate effect upon pitching camp and relocating himself on the great
continent of Africa God has began to reveal and to help Africa to deal and to
confront with the continent’s greatest 1 of 2 destroyers entitled by the life and character of
poverty.
Like the famous saying goes, “many Africans do
not die of untreatable diseases but rather treatable diseases because they are
so poor to even afford medication. If poverty and ignorance can be got rid of
in Africa then Africa shall be saved, then the decree in Luke4:19 (shall come
to pass) ”and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save his
people.”
The time is now for Jesus to save the African
race (his people).And to solidify this divine Truth God Almighty has in this
period of dispensation raised upon a fearless prophetic voice to teach the
African continent as to how to defeat poverty.
These
prophetic voices have taught by scripture AND THEY HAVE SAID,’ In order to
overcome poverty the continent of Africa should be radical about tithing,
offering, and giving for the Bible declares in the book of Malachi 3:10-“Bring
the full amount of your tithes to the temple so that there will be plenty of
food there. Put me to the test, and you will see that I’ll open the windows of
heaven and pour out on you in abundance all kinds of good things.
I will not
let insects destroy your crops, and your grapevines will be loaded with grapes.
Then the people of all nations will call you happy because your land will be a
good place to live in.”
The reason why Africa has not been a good
place to live in to the extent that even its own sons and daughters are
frequently caught up in long-queues at the British and American embassy to
acquire visa entries to these two nations is because Africa has not been a
tithe-giver. And a nation that offers its substance to the Lord. But this time
there will be a difference because God Almighty is training Africa the power of
tithe, giving, and to offer of its fruits unto God, So that our newly
discovered wealth shall be a blessing unto us.
