A Reorientation to African Spirituality and Religion is Needed
I often ask the question, “Why is it that the people who pray the most have the most children in the jails of America today? Those who shout and kicks over the benches and so forth are filling up the prisons and have the children killing each other and addicted to drugs out here in these streets? Those who goes to church everyday on the African continent are the poorest in the world; but yet they have abundant wealth underneath their feet?” There must be a problem here ladies and gentlemen. We must reorient ourselves to our own spirituality, our own religion. We must reorient ourselves to our own gods, our own deities, our own Creator, because apparently we don’t have the appropriate orientation. As that book you read says, you can tell a tree by the fruit it bears, and therefore if it bears bitter fruit, or if it bears no fruit at all, the god you worship says it is but fit to be chopped down and thrown into the flame and consumed. Read your own Bible. It gives you a very practical measure as to whether the religion you are pursuing is an appropriate one or not.
