There is something practical about the fulfillment of prophecy of the fullness of Christ manifestation in Africa that we have experienced as we went deeper into the roots of the peoples problem. I want to say here that we are now in the day of the prophets fulfilled vision/ prophecy concerning Jesus Christ manifestation in practicable way in Africa as he did in other places of the earth. More so, I want to have you know that what was hidden concerning Africa is now revealed by the same Holy Spirit which was the spirit of prophecy in the old dispensation which used the prophets was the spirit of Christ.
Now that same Holy Spirit now become the Spirit of revelation to make us see what God is after in our days to day walk with God in Africa as he searches the deep things of God and reveals to us those things which were freely given to us by God.
Now in Africa God is looking for a people that would see what he is after, a people that will see his Son clearly as he is revealing him.
Note clearly it is not easy to see in the dark.
Africa is known as the dark continent of the earth. Practically it is not easy to see in the dark unless light is brought. And prophesy is a dawn of light in darkness.
But there was a prophecy that He will be a light of revelation to the gentles. It can be proven here that Jesus is the Light of the world.And that He was send to the dark place of the world first immediately after birth.
Here is a symbolism. There was a transfer of light of the world from Israel to Africa. If he was born as the light of the world in Israel it means that the first day of his birth the light shines and attracted to Israel the shepherded to witness with gifts but it wasn’t long he was transferred to real place that needed the light most.i.e. the dark place of the earth,the place of cruelly, the dark continent, the home of the black people, the third world, the place of deep darkness.
At the birth of , a seed
of light was brought from heaven Israel and transfer to be planted in Africa the right place, the dark place of the earth. while the light was in Africa, deep darkness took over Israel as Herod was killing children and brought tears in Israel this proved to me that when light leaves a place darkness takes over.
When he was taken back to Israel as a glory to Israel but as the light of the gentile that which was planted was hidden in Africa not seen by all but few people and the demonic intelligence as a witness that light has come into Africa as a glorious seed.
Now that same Jesus Christ, the light of revelation that was in the bushel, or God has brought him out because he went to the cross. Do you see him in a practical way in your life, family and nation?
I want to say here that, in this part of Africa, I was instructed by the lord to come from Abuja December 2006. In obedience I left Abuja to Akwa Ibom state and my village Abiakpo Ikot Abasi Inyang praying. I went to the people and told them about Jesus and they accepted him as lord and savior and great one that was prophesied by Isaiah the prophet.Isaiah 19:19-21
They officially received him and welcome him into the homes and land. He healed , delivered and solved their physical and spiritual problems. They shouted his name even make vows in his name, they even talked to others about Jesus that he has power “Jesus is powerful’’ now I know that Africans never really know what it means to receive Jesus as their lord and personal savior.When I looked at how God brought R. Bonkke and African became very happy and millions are receiving Jesus as lord and savior almost all countries in Africa; people trooped to receive Jesus who God brought to them through his servants.
Now based on my personal convincing experience at my village from 2006 and 2019 as I am writing I want to say again “Africans never really know what it means to surrender all to Jesus Christ as lord and savior including some ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In my community through me, they accepted and celebrated Jesus Christ but now I come to understand the kind of Jesus Christ they are looking for is the visiting Jesus Christ not the Jesus that dwell with them. They never wanted Jesus as Emmanuel, God with us but the Jesus that comes in solves their problems and go away so that they will be free to do their own thing.They also wanted the Jesus that accepts them to serve him with local gin,he goats,cock and hen,Fanta etc.
When I begin to find out why the love the Jesus that comes in and goes out but not the Jesus that dwell with them it was then that I know that Africans never really know what it takes to follow Jesus and surrender all. Let me tell you that Africans love power and a people of power.
They see Jesus as powerful man, they love him because of his power to heal and solve other problems.
When they accepted Jesus as a powerful man, they believe when they have problem with anybody they invoke his name to manifest as thunder and kill the enemy for them and they will be happy.The killer Jesus .
Now they never ready know that the power of Jesus wasn’t the power of destruction of human being but to destroy the works of Satan in their lives and house and village. In Africa a man may have several names and powers he may invoke anytime he needed something. There are so many divinities that they have and are invokes at the instance of provocation against their enemy so when they heard that Jesus is powerful they brought him into their life and house as they have brought in other divinities .But it will not be long, other divinities and powers never worked for them again. And as they will consulted diviners and they were told that it is Jesus that cause all the trouble in the land. All they believe before is that Jesus have power to solve problem, and he can do anything for you, they never really knew who Jesus really is and what he does. Now as they come to know that the kind of Jesus that comes into their house and dwell with them is cause of the troubles in their lives and houses. “I have come to send fire in the earth.’ I have not come to bring peace but war, I have come to bring sword in the family,’ when they come to this knowledge: They cried’ Jesus we never really know that you will destroy our gods and take over our house and land, we never really know that you have come to destroy our traditions and cultures. We only accepted you as we accepted other powers to add you to the powers that we have already. Now that you don’t want other powers you came to see to stay, you left the place I have given you in our home and land to destroy other deities,
Jesus we don’t want you here again in our lives and houses because you have destroyed our gods. In fact you are a destroyer.
So it is with the people of Africa when I took practical steps in my village, my family, and the church in the village, they all accepted Jesus in a practical way, but when Jesus decided to dwell in the land, destroy other gods and broke the covenants, laws and customs. They said Jesus we don’t want you again.
Here steps were taken using African Apostolic Church in 2011 is a program. Jesus in Africa Watch YouTube or Africa in prophesy. Jesus in Africa 1-2. They accepted Jesus the Trustee of the Church who stand as the church representative, finally said, Jesus we don’t want you again, leave our church with immediate effect because Jesus didn’t agree with the tradition of Africa that was brought into African Apostolic Church.
Now it be said here that when they accepted Jesus initially, they never believe Jesus will touch their traditions to establish his heavenly tradition. They used the name of Jesus but when the reality of Jesus of Jesus life was brought to them, they say not this kind of Jesus but the Jesus that will agree with customs and traditions of the African people in the church.
Now we can see the people of Africa don’t want Jesus, the church don’t want Jesus and now where can we find Jesus now in Africa? If you look at the church and the land in between Jesus is there in people not in the church not in the land but at the big gap between the land and the church, tradition . The people in the church are seriously serving the traditions of the people in Jesus name and the people are doing the church thing in Jesus name.
He is crying,I am looking for a man that would stand in the gap but I found none . One day my village head sacrifice goat and hen in Jesus name and the chairman Christian council who is also a trustee in African Apostolic Christ church who officially received Jesus into Africa and some church elders from the apostolic church answer Amen for the village head during the sacrifice and the meats were shared to them. Can you see the traditional rulers are doing their thing in Jesus name and the church elders answer Amen? And the church are doing the people thing in Jesus name and the traditional rulers answered Amen. Until now God is still saying I am looking for a man who will stand in the gap so that he can deliver the land but he found none.
It is very rare to see a man in the gap for the land. It is very hard in Africa to see a man who believes God only physically but if you announce altar call, all of them will come out and if you follow them duly, you will discover that practically they love their tradition more than Jesus Christ. The people are serving their gods now in Jesus name in church “one said ,now all have gone to the church that is where we do it in Jesus Name.
You can see the some reason Jesus left the synagogue in the same reason we left the church, he was rejected from synagogue by the priests and now Jesus is rejected In the church by the pastors and worshippers .
Because they still believe in the tradition of the elders. They said, Jesus you are bringing new things here,we are not comfortable,it is very strange but for the signs and wonders you have performed for us we don’t have problem with you but for saying we must leave our custom and tradition and follow only you,as the Only God in the land, Jesus we can’t forget our forefathers’ tradition and customs and rituals of our fathers. We must do them at home, when we come to church we do your own. For you to say we must not do our tradition again and sacrifice to the gods of our father in your name we don't not want you again,in fact leave our land.
The people still believe even though they are in the church that the soul of their dead forefathers is still helping them, their deities are still protecting them: like killing animal for a dead man during burial, they believe it protects them unknown to them it brings curse. Psalm 106 28-29.Deut 32;17-25.
Because of these you don’t have much manifestation of Jesus power in church they now brought in something else in the name of Jesus..
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;” John 8:31
They left the word of God for something else.
