The Lessons From Covid-19 For Afrika

             Just like in the Bible, the role of the priest in Afrikan spiritual-
             ity was more crucial than even that of a king or a chief simply
             because the priest acted as a bridge to enable entire communi-
             ties or kingdoms navigate this earthly realm, while giving due
             credence to what is unseen, thereby establishing and maintain-
             ing balance. Afrika’s ignorance of the purposes of God is detri-
             mental not only to her future but to that of the entire world. Her
             determination to pursue the earthly is killing her connection to
             the Divine and destroying her ability to steer global realities in
             their true direction, to bring balance and to restore Divine order.

             Afrika’s role and destiny is to provide life and not just minerals
             and clean food, water and air or herbal remedies, but the true
             remedy to a dead soul, which is an intimate reconnection with
             its Creator. That’s why God has dissuaded Afrika’s perfor-
             mance on ‘the global stage’ because the role of the Priest (the
             true bridge between God – Who is Spirit and the earth), which
             is Afrika’s role, is not found in the mingling at the tables of car-
             nal pursuits. Afrika must take her place and play her role now.


             3. Tear down and rebuild
             Governments, businesses and churches are not working the
             way  that  we  are  told  they  are  supposed  to  be  working  and
             this is a global reality. It is time to reevaluate how Afrika
             was truly intended to function. We must consult God and
             under His guidance, make reference to relevant indigenous
             knowledge systems to carefully restructure our approach to
             living. If for the past 60 years (6 DECADES) Afrika has ap-
             plied knowledge and wisdom from the West and the East
             and still remains in dire straits politically and economical-
             ly – and the church, despite knowing the counsel of God,
             remains complicit in their evil-doing, because they value
