A PEOPLE CALLED AFRIKA

             money more than the Lord, then something must be done.
             Jeremiah 6:16 (KJV) says,
             “Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask
             for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein,
             and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will
             not walk therein.”


             This means that there is no more living a lie for Afrika! We
             cannot be those who say ‘we will not walk in it’, instead, we
             must urgently pursue rest for our souls. We cannot waste an-
             other minute chasing after things that do not matter. This is
             what we must do:


             •      We must build what works and do it now. This

             •      We must plant crops and herbs that heal and restore
             us and preserve the earth, using methods that strengthen
             us and the earth. We must cook and eat in ways that heal,
             restore and strengthen our bodies.


             •      We must pursue each other’s’ welfare instead of
             blindly pursuing profit. Forget the fake GDP measures and
             put in place lifestyle measures that evaluate individual and so-
             cial health, standards of living, quality of air, water, soil, food
             etc., as priorities over money.


             •      We must do away with oppressive government pol-
