What is African Spirituality?

African Spirituality refers to the collection of ways in which African Culture and Peoples relate to the Spiritual(Spirit +Ritual).

It refers to the Cultural Philosophies and Traditional Beliefs behind it as well as the practices and rituals that give expression to that relationship.

The Traditional African Beliefs and Practices of African People are a set of highly diverse beliefs that include various African National Spiritual Expressions which we collectively refer to as African Spirituality from a Pan African Perspective of African Culture and Continental Consciousness.

How do one go about praying in African Spirituality and what process should you follow?

Step One: You should have an area set aside for the purpose of praying.

Step Two: Light a candle and light incense or sage in order to invoke the Great Spirit. In the absence of candle and incense,use water and pour libation.

Step Three: Introduce yourself to your Ancestors by your full name.

Step Four: Call the name of Izithunywa(Universal Guardian Spirit) with whom you wish to communicate.

Step Five: Talk to your Ancestors as you will normally talk to your Grandparents.

Take Aways,Additional Details and Questions to Ponder.

* The Bible is a religious history of the Israelites.

* This is not your history ,but theirs.

* According to their Bible, the People of Israel were chosen as the Hebrew God’s People .

* Because of this they had a special covenant(Covenantal People of Israel) between themselves and God(YHWH/Yahweh/Jehovah). They were to follow his commandments and he would protect them,bless them , and lead them into the Holy Land. If they did not follow his commandments he would punish them severely.

* It would not be correct for Africans to claim all these blessings and fear the punishments because no special covenant was made between us and the Hebrew God.

* Celebrating all Bible victories means unknowingly celebrating your own losses( beginning with the genocide of the First Born of Egypt/Kemet,Plague and pestilence of Egypt and finally the destruction of the African Civilisation of Ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt was a Black African Civilisation).

* The Israelites were told not to worship any foreign gods. The God that you believed in before Christianity was introduced to you was a foreign god to the Israelites.

* This gives further evidence that all people had their own version of their God. Africans had their own God that they believed in originally. The God they believed in and worshipped was their True God.

* Worshipping the God of Israel as an African is worshipping a foreign god.

Christianity had the following negative effects on Africa :

* It demonised Africa’s belief in our Ancient God.

* It led to the loss of our African names.

* It led to the loss of the African Culture and Identity.

* It led to the loss of most African Knowledge, History and Ancestry.

* It was the conduit through which colonization came to Africa, leading to the loss of our land to the White Minority.

* It was a conduit through which colonisation came to Africa, leading to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, through which many died.

* It was the conduit through colonisation which resulted in the genocide of the Africans from Cape to Cairo, Morocco to Madagascar.

* Through Christian Colonization, Africa’s raw materials as cobalt,platinum ,uranium ,gold,diamonds and oil have been and continue to be looted by the Christian Conceptual West Imperialist Countries.

If you worship the God of the Enemy of your Ancestors, you are your Ancestors Enemy.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam should be perceived by the African Consciousness the same way Nazism is perceived by the Jewish Consciousness.

Many Christians Today Consume Foods that Block Clear Communications with God

Christians are called to be mindful of what they consume, not only physically but also spiritually. Just as we are careful about the physical foods that we eat, we must also be aware of the spiritual implications of the foods we consume.

There are certain foods that carry a poisonous vibrational signature, meaning that they can have a negative impact on our spiritual well-being. These foods can be used by the enemy to distort, distract, and defile our connection with God. As followers of Christ, it is important that we avoid these foods to stay strong in our faith and stay connected to God.

Some of the foods with poisonous vibrational signatures that Christians should avoid include:

1. GMOs: 

Genetically modified foods have been altered at a genetic level, and some believe that they can have a negative impact on our spiritual well-being. It is important to be mindful of where our food comes from and to avoid GMOs whenever possible.

2. Processed foods: 

Foods that are heavily processed and filled with artificial ingredients can have a negative impact on our physical health, but they can also affect us spiritually. These foods have a lower vibrational frequency and can bring us down spiritually.

3. Foods with added sugars: 

Sugar can be highly addictive and can lead to a host of health issues. Spiritually, foods that are high in sugar can cloud our minds and make it more difficult to hear from God clearly.

4. Foods with negative energy: 

Some foods may be harvested or prepared in environments that are filled with negative energy, such as anger, fear, or hate. It is important to be aware of the energetic signature of the foods we consume and to avoid anything that carries a negative energy.

As Christians, we must be diligent in protecting our spiritual well-being and avoiding anything that can hinder our connection with God. By being sober-minded and spiritually disciplined, we can guard our hearts and minds against the enemy's schemes.

In 1 Peter 5:8, we are urged to be sober-minded and alert, for our enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. By taking every thought captive, as stated in 2 Corinthians 10:5, we can maintain a clear channel to hear from God and resist the tactics of the enemy.

If you find yourself struggling with any of these poisonous vibrational signature foods, it may be helpful to incorporate specific prayers or Scriptures into your daily routine to break through these blockages. Pray for strength and guidance in avoiding these foods, and ask God to help you stay focused on Him and His will for your life.

Remember, as Christians, we are called to be set apart and to live in a way that glorifies God. By being mindful of the foods we consume and the spiritual implications they may have, we can strengthen our faith and stay connected to the source of all life and truth.

5. Closing Comments

As a Christian for almost a half century so far, I want to make this very clear to everyone who call themselves Christians that many Christians today are eating foods and drinking and producing though and words that seriously blocks the relation and communication within our own physical bodies and more importantly in relation to God.

We are consuming a lot of processed foods that are theoretically cannot be called foods. They are junks, such as noodles, biscuits, bread and butter, bottled water, piped water after treatments that are transported in dead pipes into our houses and into our bodies.

We have consumed poisonous and deadly information, watched videos, heard music that slowly but surely kill our spiritual signals and communication channels. Not only consuming, we have also fed others with poisonous behaviours and words came out from out own poisoned minds and bodies.

We have consumed well-processed and well-treated canned foods and drinks sprites, cokes, beer, frozen meats of any kind, noodles, flowers, and so on, and so forth. 

I want all of us to go back to our original identity, mindset and habit, in mind, thinking, attitudes, words and actions, particularly in relation to what we physically eat. To do that, all of us should be mindful and should quickly fix when we are told it is dangerous. We cannot just say that smoking is not good, eating betelnuts is not good, drinking bear is not good, then we drink sugar and processed foods that  blatantly clear kill our physical body and destroy our spiritual life. Dogs and cats know what foods cannot be consumed. They will not touch, and even run away when they realize we humans are offering them junk foods. What about us humans, who we preach created by God in His Own Image and Likeness?

6. Particular Questions for Melanesian Christians

1. Is it healthy to drink coke and eat biscuits as Christians?
2. Is it healthy to eat betelnut as Christians?
3. Is it good to drink alcohol and eat bread that are processed in foreign countries, imported to our countries?
4. Do your spirit feel happy about eating meats of animals who already suffered and cried for help lifetime that we slaughtered and then sold in stores?
5. Can you now distinguish healthy foods spiritually and physically?

Papua New Guinea declares Christian identity in constitutional amendment

Scott Waide, RNZ Pacific PNG correspondent

Papua New Guinea's Parliament has passed a constitutional amendment formally recognising the nation as a Christian country.

The decision, made on Tuesday (March 12), saw an overwhelming majority of 80 votes in favour and only four against.

The amendment introduces a declaration in the preamble of the Constitution, stating: "(We) acknowledge and declare God, the Father; Jesus Christ, the Son; and Holy Spirit, as our Creator and Sustainer of the entire universe and the source of our powers and authorities, delegated to the people and all persons within the geographical jurisdiction of Papua New Guinea."

In addition, Christianity will now be reflected in the Fifth Goal of the Constitution, and the Bible will be recognised as a national symbol.

Prime Minister James Marape, a vocal advocate for the amendment, expressed his satisfaction with the outcome.

"I am happy," he said.

"This constitutional amendment finally recognises our country as a Christian country. This reflects, in the highest form, the role Christian churches have played in our development as a country."

The amendment follows extensive consultations conducted by the PNG Constitutional Law Reform Commission in 2022.

Communities, churches, and civil society groups across the nation were engaged in discussions, with widespread support for the change.

Marape emphasised the historical and ongoing contributions of Christian churches to Papua New Guinea's unity and development.

"With so much diversity, languages, associated cultures, and tribal affiliations, no one can dispute the fact that Christian churches have anchored our country's unity and togetherness," he stated.

He also highlighted the role of churches in providing services in areas where government presence is limited.

Marape also clarified that the amendment does not infringe on the rights of individuals practicing other religions.

Section 45 of the PNG Constitution, which protects freedom of conscience, thought, and religion, remains intact.

Who are The Edomites?

The Edomites are a Semitic people whose descendants may be present in the genealogies of many people today. The Edomites were a group of people who lived in the ancient land of Edom, which is now southwestern Jordan. The Edomites were closely related to the Israelites, and according to the Bible, they were descendants of Esau, the elder brother of Jacob, the patriarch of the Israelites. 

Here is some more information about the Edomites:

Location

The Edomites lived in the ancient land of Edom, which was located between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. 

History

The Edomites occupied the area around the 13th century BCE. They were a prosperous people due to their strategic location on the trade route between Arabia and the Mediterranean and their copper industry. 

Name

The Hebrew word Edom means "red". The Hebrew Bible relates the name to Esau, the founder of Edom, because he was born "red all over". 

National deity

The national Edomite deity was called Qos. 

Migration

After the Nabataeans conquered Edom and Moab, the Edomites migrated to southern Judaea, where they were known as Idumaeans

TWO women from Lisbon, Portugal, have been charged by PNG

TWO women from Lisbon, Portugal, have been charged by PNG police with one count each of trafficking drugs after they were found carrying 15.2 kilograms of cocaine worth K13 million at the Jacksons

International Airport in Port Moresby on Saturday, December 7, bound for Brisbane, Australia, between noon and

2pm.

Both women aged 20 and 23 were charged under the Controlled Substance Act 2021 and are now detained at the

Bomana Immigration Centre outside Port Moresby, as investigations continue into the movement of the drug.

A taxi driver has also been brought in to be questioned after he allegedly transported the women during the movement of the drugs before both women tried to leave the country.

The women who arrived into PNG on December 2, 2024, had travelled in from Luxemburg in Europe after they were allegedly contacted by a man who allegedly facilitated and paid for their travel into the country.

Crossing Europe, United States, Asia and Australia, both women spent two months travelling from Luxemburg to Germany, across to Los Angeles, down to Sydney before crossing the sea to Fiji and then back to Sydney and then finally arriving in the country.

Both women spent only five days before they were given the packages to smuggle out of PNG.

According to information received by the Post-Courier, the women were met by someone who picked them up in a taxi, took them to another hotel where the packages were allegedly picked up and then taken back to the hotel where the two women were staying.

The packages were handed to the women who took them to a local hotel in the city and unpacked and repacked the packages into their bags.🇵🇬✨
