AFRICA ARISE......


 
AFRICA ARISE......
I do believe with all of my heart that Africa is the wealth resource center for the whole world. The greatest inventions, business ideas, world class hotels, restaurants, designer labels and monuments are going to come from this Giant called Africa. When I look at Africa, I see a continent with so much potential, a continent whose uniqueness is in its diversity, and it’s this diversity that sets us apart from other nations. I do understand however that the current problems that this country is facing can be traced to a lot of things, and it’s not in my place to judge or criticize those in authority, for I am mandated by God to pray for my leaders. 

The problem that you see is the problem that you are assigned, the time to complain about whose not doing what in this country and continent is over. The problem that grieves your heart the most, e.g orphans, poverty etc., is the issue that you were created to solve.

 Before the foundations of the earth God impregnated you with the solution to that problem and your duty is to identify it, though prayer, fellowship with the Holy Spirit, worship, praise and the word. I do believe that what Africa needs are more intercessors.

Now there isn’t an office called intercession, there isn’t a gift called being an intercessor, for we are all called to pray, as we are led by the Holy Spirit. It is our duty as sons of God, to stand in the gap for the people of this continent, to declare that justice to prevail for the oppressed, to set the captives free, and declare the salvation of the Lord, first on our knees, then through ideas downloaded to us through an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit. I really do believe that there is enough resources in Africa, to properly take care of all the people of this continent.

There is enough wealth for sustainable development and to improve the living conditions of people. We do not need to borrow from the western powers, for that is putting us into further debt an even widening the gap between the poor and rich, not only that debt is slavery. It’s a system that puts us in an unending back lock. I do understand that the liberation of this continent is not an overnight success, because there are systems and policies that have been put into place for centuries and by passing will take more than just lip service.

I am aware though that we serve a mighty God and if under the law he could use people like Moses, Joshua, Esther ,Jeremiah to change the destiny of nations, how much more us who are operating in the dispensation of GRACE. It is time that the body of Christ takes up its rightful position, the abilities of God are in us, the power that raised Jesus from the dead is active and alive in us, if that power could raise Jesus from the dead, what can’t it do for Africa?

The mandate is to reveal the father, exalt the son, change Gods people and make them one. It’s time to nag God about Africa, to plead our case to our father about this continent, with groaning and cries for his people, it’s time to PRAY, this is our strongest weapon, for it connects us with the power to CHANGE things. “THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME DOWN AND AFRICA WILL BE SAVED!”
