AFRIKA IS GOD’S
frikans, you are the
bearers of the original
seed of humanity and
Athe incubating womb
through which the seed will be-
come a tree of the life of God by
the wisdom of the ages found in
you. Certainly, we are first Afri- perienced with the things of life
kans before we ever became
citizens of any Afrikan coun-
tries created by the falsehood
called colonial borders. We are
not imaginary brothers; we are
brothers by the original seed of
humanity and by us shall all the
world be set free from her path-
way of destruction.
It is always a joyful thing for me
to pen a few things about any
country of choice that God will
allow us feature in this maga-
zine. So in this message to the
nation of Mozambique, I will try,
like always, to give it all my heart,
first by paying close attention to
what God has in mind. But even
as I put these words together, I
am also open to any words God
may have given to someone
else concerning this great na-
tion. In as much as I have never
been to Mozambique in all my
life, Mozambique however hap-
pens to be one of the few na-
tions in Afrika that I was shown
a few things about some years
ago. I will write from that space
of what I was shown but will not
necessarily give details of what
it was that I was given, with the
belief that he who reads will by
the wisdom of God understand
the mind of God concerning this
beautiful coastal nation.
Wisdom began with God and
wisdom in the Afrikan context is
synonymous with eldership or
the experience that comes with
old age. And that’s why you hear
people say in Afrika that grey
hair is the sign of wisdom, mean-
ing that people attached wisdom

to age or experience. This is true
to some extent but not always.
In my own opinion wisdom does
not necessarily come from old
age or experience even though
they can come by that. For there
are those who are old and ex-
but who still make decisions
and even live their lives devoid
of true wisdom. For me, wisdom
is not the collection of informa- remember clearly the details of
tion in the head; it is the spirit of
divine understanding found in
the heart which can either come
through practice or be given as
a gift. So wisdom is heart based
rather than head based and it
is divine, because as scripture
puts it, the very creative Spirit of
God is called Wisdom. Wisdom
in the head will likely come out
of the mouth as data or articulat- I gave them in that vision, I think
ed information, but the wisdom
of the heart pours forth life and
light for those who are instructed
by it.
The vision
God gave me a vision about Mo-
zambique some time in 2012 or
thereabout. In this vision, I was
seated in a place that I knew
was Maputo, the capital of Mo-
zambique. Yes, I said I have
never been to Mozambique, but
I knew in the vision where I was
exactly. That was my first time
ever to know a place existed
called Maputo. As I sat and was
looking at the various things
going on around me, a group
of Elders walked up to me and
gathered around. I recognized
them as the elders of the land.
I started telling them things God
would have them do for their na-
tion and how to do them. It was
certainly a strange vision for
me back then, simply because I
found it strange that God would
be talking to me about a place in
that nation I didn't know existed
at that time.
What this means
I do not so much believe the vi-
sion is about me going to Mo-
zambique to tell them words
from God or even that I am to
share in this article what I was
telling the elders in the vision.
And even if wanted to, I do not
what I was sharing with the el-
ders. Since I can't remember
clearly, I sincerely wouldn't want
to give an inaccurate message.
However, Mozambique is one
nation I would love to visit for
the fun of it, make new friends
and take lots of photos for my
Afrikan collection. Even though
I can't remember the exact word
the message is more of the truth
that the leadership, eldership
or government of Mozambique
cannot resolve the situations in
their nations using the wisdom
of men or the experience of life
and in governance. It has be-
come quite the norm to associ-
ate wisdom or the ability to offer
solutions to a problem to college
or university degrees. But we
can see clearly what such wis-
dom has created in our world.
Only the wisdom of God found in
the heart of God will solve the is-
sues in Mozambique, whatever
those issues may be.
Wisdom that comes by the
fear of God
Scripture puts it that “the fear
of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom.” And in another place it
says “the fear of the Lord, this
is wisdom”. The salient point
concerning wisdom seems to
be the fear of the Lord. But what
exactly is the fear of the Lord.
What does it mean? I won’t go
