This is the right time.
This is the time we were waiting for, yet we did not know it.
This is the moment where we can "test" to see if God is faithful to His word...and watch Him fulfil the promise.
Take a now look UP on Africa.
For years it has been a nation continuously looked down upon.
Many eyes have beheld with sorrow as if the people of this beautiful land were incapable of anything significant and relevant. As if the only way they can be an "asset" to the rest of the world, is by way of the "helping" hands of everyone else.
So they believed this false idea and accepted it as truth and stretched forth arms to receive "help" and missed the opportunity to fulfil their own needs.
So it went on for years and then decades and Help...well it hindered development and progression. Help was almost like manna that the children of Israel received under the leadership of Moses...enough for the now...but not enough to build upon and feed generations to come.
The land was so beautiful and its people so genuine, wise and artistic yet the land became sick. it was strategically abused, violently raped and mocked at its lowest point. The people changes their ways of preserving culture, their ways of sustaining their communities and their ways of loving and respecting one another.
Change after change.
But now there is a new dilemma...those who "help" them say its to compromise. Its time to ignore your morals and cultural beliefs. Its time to officially disagree with God and accept the homosexual agenda. Legalize homosexuality and allow men to sleep with men and women with women. Yet, God has it written in His word,
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6: 9+10).
Christians did not write this in, He did, but those of us who believe and desire to honour God and His word wish that others would accept these truths and help to bring healing because too often the list above are outward solutions of an inward heart issue.
So if Africa, stand without compromise on this issue and "help" is limited...then its the right time for God to respond. Time for God to show that He is true to His word.
The land is sick with levels and levels of hurt, corruption, sin, despair and death.
There is a promise He made that we want to put before Him.
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. ( 2 Chronicles 7:14).
Its time to put His word to the test...He promised...therefore He will fulfil.
Father, we pray as Black people and intercessors from around the world, together, that you would remind your children--especially us of African descent--of these scriptures and your desire for men, women and families. Heal the hearts, heal the land, release truth, eternally silence lies and send revival to Africa and to African Americans throughout the earth. In Jesus name, Amen.
