Dear Africans and people of African heritage, we must clap for ourselves every day of our lives, and when a new baby is born among us because we alone have been given a very special privilege that none other but we have. (It is actually a lovely gift too). But, with great privilege comes great responsibility. First though, I will talk about this privilege.
The great privilege is that we, the people of Africa look the most like the Son of GOD, Master Yeshua. A big lie has gone out into the world that nobody knows what the Son of GOD looks like. But that’s just falsehood because He is clearly described in two places in the Bible, which means that the Son of GOD wants people to know precisely what He looks like, and also that His identity and appearance are important. The texts are in Revelation 1:13-15 and in Daniel 10:5,6. They describe Master Yeshua as having WOOLLY HAIR that is white in colour, and only we Africans have that special hair type; then His skin is BURNISHED BRONZE that means a deep brown that shines, and we Africans have brown skin too. I took the poster below from the Christianity for Africans Facebook page for us to see that burnished bronze is beautiful.
Life on earth teaches us that the original man and woman must both have had a brown skin as from brown you can get the range of skin colours including albino forms. Science also says that. But better than all, is that Scripture alludes to it too. Jeremiah 13:23 describes Yahuwah Chukwu Himself as saying:
Can an Ethiopian change his skin? Or a leopard its spots? If they can, then you can do good, who are so accustomed to doing evil. (Complete Jewish Bible)
There is a reason for every word that Yahuwah Chukwu uses and He went straight for the “Ethiopian”, that is, the African, the person with a brown skin. That is because Yahuwah Chukwu as Creator, went to the one who He knows represents Mankind, being the man type who was created in His image BEFORE THE FALL. Dear African, are you seeing it? Adam and Eve, the original human beings, were created as brown-skinned (and woolly haired) humans before the Fall of man. Note too, that after finishing creation, the Bible says:
“And Yahuwah Chukwu saw every thing He had made, and, behold, IT WAS VERY GOOD.” (Genesis 1:31).
That means that the brown skin and woolly hair of Adam and Eve are very good to have. Thus too, when Yahuwah Chukwu asked if an Ethiopian can change his skin He was saying: can any form of Mankind change his skin if the original man cannot…
Oh African, let us look well at ourselves! Our hair is woolly like that of the Son of GOD and we can do so much with it including making it straight and letting it hang down. If we decide not to comb it but to handle it just with our fingers, our hair can lock into beautiful dreds and be guided into the thickness and length we want (but when other hair types are not combed or brushed daily they just look a right mess). We can also comb our woolly hair out and blow it out into an afro that defies gravity and sticks up into the air with power!
Look at our bodies! Yahuwah Chukwu created us with much generosity. We have full lips, big eyes, and noses that fill out to grace our faces (not pointing down like birds’ beaks). The Creator’s generosity is also seen in our bodies: Our women have a plump softness in our ample bosoms and buttocks – this is true femininity and Black voluptuousness and deliciousness which our men adore. And, our men are the strongest on earth, and also the Creator was quite generous with their private bits, and gave them the deepest of masculine voices.
The privilege of looking most like the Son of GOD does bring responsibilities which include:
We must love our bodies, especially our natural skin and our natural hair – this shows that we honour the physical appearance of the Son of GOD in whose likeness we were created, and we thank Him for choosing us.
We must teach our children about this privilege that they too have in looking most like the Son of GOD.
Physically we are the children of the Creator since we look like the Son of GOD. There must be a reason He decided it be so. That should then translate into us Africans seeking the Truth about His identity and what He wants from us as His special people, and we must then worship Him in spirit and in truth.
We should live in Solidarity with all African heritage people. That means being interested in issues that affect our people worldwide, and providing mutual support too. A good way to achieve that is through daily application of the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa (link HERE: ) which can be our collective ideology that governs how we relate among ourselves.
Oh African, smile, and let us clap for ourselves in gladness and thankfulness for this very UNIQUE privilege!
