Themes on Dysfunctional Fatherhood and the Crisis of Ghanaian Leadership

Spiritual Commentary
What is a MAN and what is a WOMAN? These are fundamentally simple questions on first hearing them. But when posed to many American and even “African” women today, you will get a very SILLY response. Today, even prominent American male politicians cannot tell the difference between a man and a woman. Many falter in their ability to articulate a position on the definition of a man versus a woman.

I guess with all the feminist indoctrination going on in the Republic of Ghana—the black star of Africa— these days, it is inevitable that very soon, Ghanaians will also seek to blur the lines between male and female. Without a doubt, this is a spiritual construct with perverse undertones.

And I guess this is why Yeshua called his disciples "the light of the world "and the "salt of the earth". Someone needs to shed light on this and tell the truth! So, let us shed some HOLY light on this topic of fatherhood in order that we may preserve righteous principles in the family, marketplace and government! I am sure that you now get a sense of my topic. I will therefore proceed.

The Divine Leadership Institution called Fatherhood is for Men Only

It is written, “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations" (Bereshyt | Genesis 17:4-5, NKJV).

Believe it or not, but one cannot be a father without the Divine qualifications that go with this institution. Fundamentally, fatherhood is for male members of the human species ONLY. No women and definitely no transgendered women allowed! Next, based on principles of righteousness, fatherhood requires a covenant with the Master Father Himself. This is because fatherhood is a Divine leadership and rulership institution.

Fathers are needed to govern homes properly. When women think that they can raise children without men, it is a clear indication that they are in REBELLION and at heart, heathen in orientation. Such women are likely to spend eternity burning in hell for perverting the family lineage of their children . . . it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God! Truth be told, any woman who denies her child the influence of Divine headship in the form of fatherhood (no matter the reason) is contributing to lawlessness on the earth. She is a lawbreaker and will face the Divine sentence for doing this.

With respect to covenant, it is imperative that fathers align with Yahweh in order to be effective in passing on Divine empowerment (a.k.a. "the blessing") and Divine legal wisdom (in the form of Torah statutes, judgments and commandments). This was the example of Abraham--one of the patriarchs of the Yisraelite people--in his generation. Abraham was a father (meaning a "source") of material, emotional and spiritual blessing to nations of his day and to nations thereafter.

No woman can be a father! Period! This is because the blessing is always passed from father to father in successive generations. This is why Yahweh is called the God of Abrakhan (Abraham), Yitzak (Isaac) and Yakob (Jacob). He is the God who keeps covenant unto even three generations that LOVE him and keep His commandments. Any nation that does not have a covenant with Yahweh is therefore a CURSED nation, NO MATTER how materially wealthy they look on the surface.

Divinely Inspired Leadership begins in the Family Unit

Unlike what is being portrayed and perfected in the family lineages of the democratically inclined, leadership does not begin with political parties or even slogans. Leadership and by default, RULERSHIP, begins in the family unit with a father, mother and child. No father, no leadership. We therefore have a problem in the earth today. This is particularly among the Yisraelite descendants with whom there exists a DIVINE COVENANT even until this day.

With respect to political parties, the deception that Barack Obama, Joe Biden or even Donald Trump—they are all former American presidents, with the latter still governing now—are qualified in the sight of Yahweh to lead nations is purely based on marketing, lying and a false narrative about their family lives. Leadership begins in the family unit! Not in the eyes of the broadcasters who depict the false narrative of the democratic model of governance.

So it is also, that we must begin to understand that all over Africa—where the false narrative of democracy and the sale of democratic wisdom continues to deceive a generation of Yisraelite descendants—people are being moved to elect immoral and unqualified family heads into governance structures. Today, the lie called "demoCRAZY" has even gone to the extent of foisting the CURSED thing known as the JEZEBEL SPIRIT upon nations—in the form of evil female heads of government. This is something the Holy Scriptures alluded to and warned against in several passages.

With respect to holy women, it is written, "Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I [Paul the apostle] do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve" (1 Timothy 2:11-12, NKJV). Legal authority in the family unit as prescribed by the Torah and the apostolic fathers of faith in Yeshua (Jesus) the Christ, is always enforced by fathers of a family and tribe.

Useless Fathers should not be Running Nations

The story of Republics like the Republic of Ghana is very interesting and often tells the history of how Satan used modern NATIONALISM to deceive the descendants of the House of Yisrael to carry on marriage alliances, business alliances and political unions with heathen nations.

The history of the Hebrew/Yisraelite descendants has it that for violation of the covenant between Yahweh and His people, they were cursed and scattered to foreign lands throughout the FOUR CORNERS of the earth. The result was that the institution of fatherhood that Yahweh created and that He instituted among His people for rulership, was watered down and as a result of the rebellion of Yisraelite WOMEN in particular, was rarely taught in the family unit. The result was and continues to be manifested in the form of a generation of USELESS FATHERS.

A useless father is someone who despite contributing SEED, doesn't understand his Divine purpose because they do not have a covenant with the Most High Elohym. Like numerous African nations, Ghana as a modern Republic is grappling with a false vision of hope in democratic governance structures whereas the men who lead that nation are mostly CURSED men who have no real covenant with Yahweh through the blood of Yeshua. These are the men who have repetitively borrowed billions of dollars in the name of nation building whereas they have no Divine vision about how to tackle the interest payments that result from this. Such men should not be running nations!

Yaa Asantewaa Syndrome and the Mindset of the Ghanaian Male

The famed story of Yaa Asantewaa chronicles the history of the heathen Asante kingdom whose forebears were well known for the worship of female depicted deities and IDOLS.

This nation, the Asante kingdom that is, lost its manhood at a certain point during which its men could not muster the courage to maneuver militarily against British colonial forces. For this reason, in a war against British colonial forces—a war to protect the “Golden Stool” (a money charm/fetish) which is said to contain the “soul” of the Asante nation—Yaa Asantewaa, a daughter of the Asante kingdom, and a known "loose cannon", somehow spurred the men on to war.

Confession . . . I am NOT Asante. NEITHER do I see Yaa Asantewaa as a historical figure that I look up to. I am simply NOT from that nation. But this I do know: Hebrew descendants are many within the West African subregion. Our history is known fervently by the Almighty Elohym who has given us the "mind of Christ" (through the Holy Spirit) by which to discern the events that led up to our captivity in foreign lands.

Finally, given that traditional Asante/Akan culture is at the heart of Ghanaian spirituality, norms and nationalism, it comes as no shock that "useless fatherhood" which is rampant among heathens has literally contributed to the Yaa Asantewaa syndrome that has plagued and continues to plague Ghanaian politics today. The solution? Ghana needs the spiritual fathers of the land to wake up and revive the hearts of the children. They must LITERALLY point the way back to the Father of heavenly lights: Yahweh Elohym.
