The lost continent (!) (?): The Truth

The lost continent (!) (?): The Truth

Dedicated to my Spiritual Father Prophet Emmanuel Badu Kobi, Glorious Wave Church Int., Sakumono, Ghana

GOD used only words based on his will and supported by his determination to make his will come to pass to create the Heavens and Earth. GOD knew and still does, who he is and what his ideas for each of us are. He created humans in his own image to make them his heirs. Most people have forgotten the basis of our existence clothed in individual assignments to make the world go round, a better place each day and consistently pushing mankind from Glory to Glory.

Oliver Cromwell, a simple Farmer in England reading his Bible every day, got King Charles I sentenced to death on 25.01.1649, a cold Saturday, with his execution following few weeks later. Convinced that GOD’s will has to reign his country and the world he knew at large, yet being an early Democrat in his conviction, established the “Parliament of Saints”. When things did not work out in his interest, he as the newly appointed Lord Protector, used once again his voice of manipulating people to get his way and convinced the Soldiers to dismantle the Parliament. He tried all his political life to improve the moral standards in Wales, England, Ireland and Scotland based on the Bible. He knew who he was and that he had to stand and fight for GOD to the historic effect that two years after his untimely death King Charles II took power over the British again and hanged the dead body of Oliver Cromwell.

Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte after having lead around 600.000 soldiers into battle with Russia only to be defeated by Zar Alexander I on the harsh ground of foreign territory, he returned back to France with a defeated army of only 25.000 soldiers still alive, was ousted into Exile onto Elba on the day of his return. Ten months later he landed once again on the shores of France for 100 days, marched 500 miles by foot towards Paris to gather the French once more behind him. On his three week long march he was challenged by royalist Soldiers but when he stepped before his small loyal Soldiers being in his presence, he asked the Royalist to shoot him in case they wanted to end this part of French history once and for all, but to spare the Soldiers in his company. The royalist Soldiers followed their old and new Leader towards Paris where in 10 weeks only he was able to form a new army to march into battle in Waterloo in Belgium where he was subsequently defeated and send finally on his last journey to St. Helena. All his time in power he had only one decisive but convincing weapon to victory: his voice which he spoke with decisive enthusiasm, conviction knowing who he was even physically small and not attractive too much substantiated over time by military experiences on the battlegrounds of Europe and beyond.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of USA leading the Americans into World War II, was a crippled man from early childhood, his legs failing him visible in various CCTV footages. He was the first President to use the upcoming Media for his politics. Winston Churchill, his counterpart in UK as the War Premier Minister, saw the benefit of Radio along the same line. Donald Trump, current USA President, uses Twitter to send out his messages by using simple and simply words that influence Stock Markets immediately. Adolf Hitler, from a homeless bagger on the streets Munich/Germany still being an Austrian in his early days, had only one weapon to fight for his future, his voice, his enthusiasm and the conviction that DESTINY had mandated him for great works being spared from death in the trenches of World War I.

Jesus Christ knew who he was, the son of GOD. He also knew his powers given to him deep in his spirit and soul. He healed the sick with his hands and most of all, his words. As a teacher, he used words to inform people about his Father’s Kingdom and to lead them into it. A Pastor has only words he can use to make his way for others to change their lives and live better every day, a life-style that allows them to fulfill their assignment in life as given to them by GOD on an individual basis in the context of space, time, culture and history.

Africa saw Nelson Mandela speaking his words to free the Blacks from the Whites. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah had foremost words to gain Independence for his country Ghana, so did Mahatma Gandhi in India.

Africa once was a great continent well known to GOD being the birthplace of Humans and for that matter Humanity, for Greatness of GOD’s creatures. The people of Africa have lost their identity, their assignment given, along historic lines, self-inflicted or for no understandable reason happened to allow outsiders to mess them up. A mind can only be corrupted and be misused by others when the mind is fundamentally corrupt and the inner core of destiny, of greatness and of understanding who someone is, is lost. Above examples demonstrate in every aspects of their lives, when a human and leader is weak and begins to shake and doubt his own destiny, failure comes into play, an open door for the devil to distract any once strong man as no man is a Heroe or Saint forever and always, but faces the hard reality of human nature from time to time.

The African Union as an Organization is a political, cultural and foremost economic Co-operation that, yet still young, will only have the chance to better Africa, if at all, on a technical level while only the Spirit of a Man can change the lost Continent and turn around African’s History to make it the dominating force in the world once again. All a mandated man for this task is to know himself, his assignment, his inner core of greatness and …WORDS. GOD will find one day…one day… Africa back in spoken WORDS of one Man to make the transformation happen.
