AFRICAN UNITY - FROM INDIVIDUALS TO EMPIRES

When two individuals come together you get a FAMILY. When two or more families come together you get a clan. When two or more clans come together you get a TRIBE. When two or more tribes come together you get a KINGDOM. When two or more kingdoms come together you get an EMPIRE.

The world currently is ruled by clans. You hear of the Rockefeller family, the Walton Family, the Ambani Family, the Arnault Family, the Saudi family etc. Those are clans.

But do you know that in time past, especially in Africa, there were Empires. They are too many to count but I will name a few. The Zulu Empire, the Egypt Empire, the Mali Empire, the Swati Kingdom, the Kingdom of Aksun, Rozvi Empire, Paisa Land, Benin Empire, Ethiopian Kingdom etc.

The strategy of the enemy has always been to divide and conquer. Every political and historical fact points out to that. Unless Afrjca unites, we can never rule the world.

The Worst Marriage Advice I Ever Received

I’ve always enjoyed spending time with older men; wise, experienced, often with stories that teach valuable lessons. Some are happily married, others divorced, but there’s always something to learn in our conversations. One day, while sitting at the car wash as we often did; chatting about politics, soccer, life, and love. The topic of marriage came up. I was in my late 20s, freshly divorced, and searching for insight. An older man I used to know shared this piece of advice that still shocks me to this day. He said, “When you marry a woman, be very strict in the first two years. If she disobeys, discipline her immediately, lay hands on her so she fears you. Fear, according to him, leads to obedience. After two years, you can relax because by then, fear will keep her in line.” I was horrified. That wasn’t wisdom, it was abuse dressed in tradition. That day, I realized something powerful: not all advice is worth listening to, even if it comes from someone older or seemingly wise. Age doe...

Beware the Herod Spirit: A Silent Killer of Potential

In Matthew 2, we find a disturbing yet revealing story. Wise men from the East came to Jerusalem asking, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?” (Matthew 2:2). When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him (Matthew 2:3). Though Jesus was still a child, not yet preaching, not yet performing miracles, and not yet gathering followers, the mere news of His birth—the announcement of His potential—sent fear and insecurity into the heart of Herod. Herod’s response? Genocide. He commanded that all male children two years old and under in Bethlehem and its surroundings be killed (Matthew 2:16). Why? Because he wanted to eliminate the possibility of another king rising. He wasn’t fighting a crowned ruler—he was fighting a baby with destiny. This is the essence of what many call the Herod spirit—a spiritual opposition that seeks to destroy purpose, potential, and divine promise before it can fully manifest. Understanding the Herod Spirit The Herod spirit is not...

THE LAW OF INCREASE

The law of increase is also called the law of harvest, or the law of use. It is God's will for us to have increase. Increase in our spirituality, mental capacity, skills, knowledge, wisdom, faith, health, wealth and influence. Basically in every areal of our lives we can and must increase. In the book of Matthew 25:15 we find the parable of the talents. The Parable of the Talents describes a man who gave each of his three servants an amount of money, each according to his ability, before he left on a trip. When he returned, he had the servants give an account of what they had done with the money. The first two servants in the parable put their money to work and doubled it, which pleased their master. But the third one was afraid and hid the money so he wouldn’t make his master angry by losing it. However, his master was angry because he didn’t even deposit the money in a bank to earn interest. The master considered him wicked and lazy for doing nothing at all and gave his money to...
