AFRIKA IS GOD’S

power of Afrika is in her belief in what is beyond the power of
the eyes to see merely physically. The colonialists came and
told us that we had no connection to God – which is a lie. Yes,
there were witchdoctors and sorcerers in Afrika – but that was
no different to Europe, Asia, America or Australia or wherev-
er you would find man domiciled. As long as there has been
conflict with darkness, there have been those willing to follow
and practice darkness. But, my beloved Afrika, it doesn’t mean
there was no connection between us and God - that was the
lie that broke us absolutely. It caused a disruption in our spiri-
tual connection to the Most High God.
You must re-look the formal education system in Afrika and
fix it now IF you insist on its continued use. Homeschooling
allows for the natural spiritual bond between parent and child
that was activated at the word of promise from God to be sus-
tained such that the wisdom that was placed in the parents
for their children can be steadily dispensed in an environment
of nurture that can NEVER be touched by a formal education
system. It allows for the parent to play his or her God-given
role - which he is answerable for - in the life of the child. I
know there are teachers who are genuine nurturers and very
caring and have been used by God to transform generations,
but they too tend to be hamstrung by a system or by parents
who insist on specific set directions. Surely you must see the
horrendous effect that all of these disconnections are having
on our society as a whole?
It is time to face this major foundational issue as a people in
Afrika, if we ever hope to transform our nations and stand our
ground as a unique and authentic entity globally. If we ever
hope to come out from under the yoke of oppression that we
still exist under. If we ever hope to find our true path in Christ
and enter into our destiny as individuals, communities and
a continent. We must return to old paths and ask where the
good way is, and walk in it. It is time.

WHAT CAN WE DO?
God blessed man and commanded them to be fruitful and
multiply and have dominion of the things He had created. Part
of that demands an understanding of the true nature of God,
part of which we can connect to as we connect to ourselves,
our community and the environment around us and learn a
mastery of the things which were set forth in the beginning.
That, at its most basic, will help with some aspects of the reset
that Afrika needs.

Re-Enriching Afrikan Education

Some basic things to consider:
1. Inculcate cultural norms and values: Enable children to un-
derstand who they are and to learn and practice compassion,
