BAMGOLD EXPLANATION OF GOD'S WORDS

WHAT SHOULD YOU FEAR MOST?

2008-08-12T23:33:00.000-07:00

THIS is a very simple question which may arouse both simple and complex answer simultaneously.
many a people will say if they were asked:
1)i fear death most
2)i fear the devil most
3)i fear darkness most
4)i fear failure most
5)i fear water most
6)i fear God most
7)i fear storm most
8)i fear space most
9)i fear my dad most
10)i fear thunder most
11)i fear gun most
and a host of others.

but looking at these, we will discover that none can ensnare a person with no hope of survival.

there is only one thing we should fear most.
it is not God, neither the devil nor all that is listed and the host of others.

There is only one thing that gave the devil access to Job's life and that was Job's fear of losing all that he has. i must confess; that thing ensnared him (job 3:25).

my dear brother, what you should fear most is no other thing than FEAR itself.

whatever you fear most shall be your greatest achilles heel (for more on achilles heel. click here!).
you need to be very careful of your fears!

it was this same fear that befell all the israelites. in the day when twelve men were sent to spy the new land, they brought this report:"And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight"(Num. 13: 27-33).

this was their fear and they showed it forth before God when they displayed:"And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt"(Num.14: 1-4). here they commited two offences. one being the fact that they were afraid at the appearance of just their opponents stature. two: they prophecied with their own mouth out of fear that they will not enter into the promised land. and out of all these people, only Joshua and Caleb rose up to demonstrate faith and courage. only these two people never fear and they never prophecy evil of themselves, and only these got to the promised land. all these people that prophesied and demonstrate all their fears perished in that wilderness. the power of tongues shall be treated cordially in the next post.

if you have the fear of failing, the devil will capitalised on it to attack you, and before you know it, you are down.

always note that whatever you like most, whatever you hate most and whatever you fear most remains the weapons of penetration for all spiritual enemies.

therefore, i am imploring you to stop all phobias.

the word of God made it known in this form: "for God does not gave us the spirit of fear (or timidity or bondage), but he gave us the spirit of love, power and soundmind(or selfcontrol)"{2 tim.1:7}.

if God does not give you the spirit of fear, then you ought to know that fear is not part of you and you could get rid of it.

its now all left for you to deliver yourself from all those things which you have built up in your heart. they were imaginations, but you have turn them to virtual demons, a monster which keeps on pursuing you.

let the spirit of love, power and self control, therefore, takes the place of fear in your heart!!!

THE POT SHOULD NOT REJOICE YET!!!

2008-07-15T15:40:00.000-07:00

Are you one of those depressed people whose works were always being mocked by your mates? have you been working like an elephant and eationg as ants. here is the message that was sent to you by me.
Joseph was a renown great man in his time, yes, but before Joseph rule his worlds he pass through a lot of things. a yoruba addage says: 'IKOKO TO MAJE ATA, IDI RE A GBONA', interpreted as: ' the pot that will eat stew will have its bottom roasted'. Joseph in his time, as a result of his dreams was hated by his brothers, mocked by them and tortured by their ignominy. although he could do nothing, he waited for his time to come.
wait a minute, what am i saying, in that time Joseph was not as loved as Judah, although he later rose up to displace Judah of his position.
David was also not left out in this race, in his time he ruled the whole of israel, yet before he mounted up to that level he had to overcome the first rival of the kingdom which happened to be saul.
he was the least of Jesse's sons as he was abandoned in the bush because his brother thought him to be but a useless fellow, but God located him on the day of the anoiting. when samuel got to the house of Jesse he bypassed all other elder children to locate and anoint david according to the divine instruction.
the nothingness of david therefore become the somethingness to all as his name was turned to NOBOTOSOMBO meaning: from NOBOdy TO SOMBOdy.
Solomon was also a man to reckoned with. he too was the least among his brethren, in fact if we are to judge with human eyes who should be the next king after david, the answer would clearly be Adonijah. yet, grace located solomon and turned him to the king of israel.
the story of Jabesh is also recommended. in his time it was recorded of him in 2chro.4:9 that his mother named him Jabesh because he was born of sorrow, but when he came unto the highest, his destiny was turned around when he prayed unto God.
Coming back to our modern day; benjamin carson was the dullest of all his classmates as recorded in his autobiography: 'Benjamin and his brother fell farther and farther behind in school. In fifth grade, Carson was at the bottom of his class. His classmates called him "dummy" and he developed a violent, uncontrollable temper.' but to aid a turn around, grace located him through his mother: 'When Mrs. Carson saw Benjamin's failing grades, she determined to turn her sons' lives around. She sharply limited the boys' television watching and refused to let them outside to play until they had finished their homework each day. She required them to read two library books a week and to give her written reports on their reading even though, with her own poor education, she could barely read what they had written.' there was indeed a turn around: 'Within a few weeks, Carson astonished his classmates by identifying rock samples his teacher had brought to class. He recognized them from one of the books he had read. "It was at that moment that I realized I wasn't stupid," he recalled later. Carson continued to amaze his classmates with his newfound knowledge and within a year he was at the top of his class. The hunger for knowledge had taken hold of him, and he began to read voraciously on all subjects. He determined to become a physician, and he learned to control the violent temper that still threatened his future. After graduating with honors from his high school, he attended Yale University, where he earned a degree in Psychology. From Yale, he went to the Medical School of the University of Michigan, where his interest shifted from psychiatry to neurosurgery. His excellent hand-eye coordination and three-dimensional reasoning skills made him a superior surgeon. After medical school he became a neurosurgery resident at the world-famous Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. At age 32, he became the hospital's Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery. In 1987, Carson made medical history with an operation to separate a pair of Siamese twins. The Binder twins were born joined at the back of the head. Operations to separate twins joined in this way had always failed, resulting in the death of one or both of the infants. Carson agreed to undertake the operation. A 70-member surgical team, led by Dr. Carson, worked for 22 hours. At the end, the twins were successfully separated and can now survive independently.' this is indeed a wonderful turn around. he did not stop there but moved over: 'Carson's other surgical innovations have included the first intra-uterine procedure to relieve pressure on the brain of a hydrocephalic fetal twin, and a hemispherectomy, in which an infant suffering from uncontrollable seizures has half of its brain removed. This stops the seizures, and the remaining half of the brain actually compensates for the missing hemisphere; In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Carson is in constant demand as a public speaker, and devotes much of his time to meeting with groups of young people. In 2008, the White House announced that Benjamin Carson would receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor'.
NOW IT IS TIME YOU TELL THE POT NOT TO REJOICE YET, what do i mean? when the rain begins to pour, the pot begin to mock the basket because the basket could not hold any water, when the rain stops, the pot is full but the basket has nothing to cheer about, i want you to know that the day is coming when the basket will go to the farm to bring home the harvest. it is presently your time doesn't make you the most superior, remember what the word of God said:"there is time for every thing under the heaven and a season for every works under the sun".
don't be mocked, thou the depressed, your time cometh and is near, tell the pot "DO NOT REJOICE YET, FOR MY TIME COMETH VERY SOON". all you have to learn how to do is: 'throw your bread upon many waters for in due season you shall find it'. i mean be kind and never forget that it is the same people you meet on your way going up are those you also meet on your way down.
All those things you are facing now is only to train you up. one day you will scale through.
just keep it in mind that, whosoever destroy other people to live shall meet his own waterloo on his way going down. so i say, one love my people.

THE SHADOW IN THE DARK

2008-07-09T18:24:00.001-07:00

this is to let you know that the power of God still reigneth.a small child when asked while crying in the night always said "a monster". what could this be? the parent wondered! i couldn't see the monster! but after a careful look at the child one discovers that he or she is talking of his own shadow, the reflection of his body. but when the night goes and the morning approached one discovers that the child is not afraid of anything again.such is the life of many christians today. this is a typical fact about life. most of the problems that we acclaim that we have are a product of our own imagination. but thank God the words of God is more powerful to break asunder every product of our imagination.in the night you see shadow but it is a monster to you. why? it was because you have build up your own imagination for the night. but when the light of God shines the sorrow disappears and your life began to see light again. then you have forgotten your own sorrow

THE SNAKE AFTER YOU

2008-07-09T18:23:00.000-07:00

an athlete went to a herbalist requesting for the power to outrun all other athletes. the herbalist told him that he would help him to prepare a charm, he did as he had promised and he forewarn the athlete to be very careful and conscious of complacency. he gave the athlete the charm and told him to rub it on his face like a powder whenever the race want to start. the athlete did as he was told. so as soon as he applied it to his face at the hearing of the sound GOoooo, he looked back only to see a very big and large snake running after him. he started running at a great speed from the snake although the rest of the runners never noticed the man lucidity. as he was trying to outrun the snake he had greatly outrun the rest of his running mates.this is the same way God operates. he said to Job, "darkness and light are but the same to me". in order words i could travel into darkness for the purpose of bringing light. i.e if God doesn't enter the darkness, there would be no light.that situation of yours is also known to him, he is only training you as the end of all is going to result into incomparable ectasy.you are going to win that race of yours!!!!!!!!!!!

THE POWER OF PROPHECY

2008-07-09T18:20:00.000-07:00

i remembered a story in the bible when it was said that that king Darius codomanaus has approved the completion of the building of the house of God. i remembered that the people were in very high spirit. but the enemy find a way of rendering there joy useless when he raised up sambalath and his colleague to opposed the building of the house of God. these people rose up with a view to creating obfuscurity to this project, the people of God neither has money nor power and it seems all hope had been lost. but suddenly the elders of the house of the lord rose up in one accord, they guard their loins and they begin to prophecy with one spirit. and with the power of prophecy the almost lost hope was renewed. this is indeed a hiding power never recognised. also i could remember the spirit of ezekiel as all of us known. he too prophecied and the dry bones lived again. what do you think you need to do when all the hope is lost? after much prayer and supplication nothing happens and you begin to look back unto your sins, saying may be it was because i am a sinner! stop filling guilty, you do not come into God's presence with your own righteousness, but you have mount the throne of grace to obtain mercy in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. the problem is: you have not discover your real weapon and here it is: PROPHECY AND LET THE ABANDONNED PROJECT RESURRECT IN YOUR LIFE.

THE MYSTERY BEHIND THE BLOOD OF CHRIST

2008-07-09T17:57:00.000-07:00

long known to men that the soul of man is actually in the blood. however the blood of the son of God is more complex and complicated more than what we think.from the outset of the creation, it was known that God almighty made man out of the earth, he breadth unto him the breath of life and man became a living soul. this mystery was lighted up by the appearance of Jesus Christ the son of God. when he shed that blood, it was never written that the blood was shed on the sea, neither on the leaves, nor on the ocean or any form of water; but that blood was shed upon the earth which indeed symbolizes something! if that blood touches the earth and you are indeed made from the earth then it means that, that blood was shed upon you.this is an established fact. if that blood was indeed shed on you then it will work for you only if you believe that it is actually for you.through this blood you could ascend unto the thrown of mercy without your sin hindering you. this is because, the blood on you is a symbol of christ's righteousness. whenever God decided to destroy you, because of that blood on you, he could'nt. why? it was because he saw christ in you.indeed, there is power mighty in the blood of Jesus Christ.

WHICH IS YOUR PROBLEM?

2008-07-09T17:52:00.000-07:00

Many are the attitudes of we human being to our problems. Here in Africa persists a lot of credences and views about the causes of individual problems and how it could be solved.Many believed that the all problems are controlled spiritually; some believed that every problems are controlled by the environment while some believed in destiny.Which is your problems? are you the problem of yourself? or God? is the devil your problems? or your environment?All these shall be dealt with in details:

A)Are you the problem of yourself? you can be the problems of yourself while you still believed that the devil is your problems. Why?

(1)you have been drinking alcohol heavily for fun. Here is the principle through which alcohol operates in your body. It mingles with your blood and react with the haem in your haemoglobin, converting them to an acyl compound which had cause the redness of the blood to change. This is highly poisonous to your body's environment. How? it was because this change the PH of your blood from 6.4 to about 8.4 thereby causing it to be basic. this also increases the alcohol content of the body.There was a man whose life was affected as a result of this. He almost died while everybody believed that AIYE L'ONSE meaning: 'it is the work of the wicked one'.one day, one of his brothers came to visit him while he met him in that condition insisted on taking him to the hospital for a medical check-up. After series of test the doctor came out with a shoking report that the alcohol content of his blood is 63.7%.Supposely we want to treat it in our local way we would have ask him to carry EBO meaning: ritual with a view that it was either his grandmother or his in law that are responsible for his problems.

(2)your sexual affinity and attitude is enormous: Normally, according to the scriptural basis, especially in a biblical way, a man is entitled unto a woman. also, it was assigned that sex should be done in an orderly manner. Also medically, after sex, it takes a man 21 days to recover his full strength. Now for a man that do have sex with many women like 3 times a week, you could see that he does not give himself space to recover and so the more he lose strength and blood. This kind of man is also prone to STD (sexually transmitted diseases) like Gonorrhoea, AIDS etc. Now, any kind of little problem such a man face, he would say AIYE L'ONSE MI, whereas you are the problems of yourself.

(3) Smoking in an excessive way: Now a days, our smokers have developed one habbit. They don't just smoke but they apply styles. most of them never allow the smokes to escape at all, they swallow it completely. This is a very big threat to your life.see more of this here!

(4)Grimacing in an uncultured way: There were some fascial veins that contract and expand according to the status of our face. The more you smile, the more they expand causing the face to look younger. But the more you frown your face, the more they contract giving your face an oldman look. turning you to an older person in look. All these are self caused problems.

B) The devil can be your problem: one question one needs to ask is that can the devil be my problem? if so, am i the first person to experience this? there is an addage which says in Yoruba Language: 'TI OGIRI KO BA LA ENU, ALANGBA KO LE WO ENU OGIRI', meaning: if the wall does not opoen its mouths, lizard cannot enter. Yes this is true, but i say, "NO WALL CAN BY ITSELF OPEN HER MOUTH UNLESS ACTED UPON BY AN EXTERNAL FACTOR". And here lies the answer: The devil can be your problems if you disturb him.The Bible says: "put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil"{Eph.6:11}. Why? it answered again, "...because your adversary the devil like a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour"{1pet. 5:8}.Yes, this is true again, but the Bible gave a wise way of fighting this battle when it says, "or else, how can one enter into a strong man's house and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house" {matt.12:29}.We are always as a christian looking for trouble ourself. The devil is a well co-ordinated personage and he does not just attack anybody even though this is occassionally. What am i saying? yes, the bible says:"for the weapons of our welfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds" {2cor.10:4}. This is always our watchword as a christian.God gave us power over the devil indeed. christ said: "Behold, i give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you" {luke10:19}. yes, But we often or should i say mostly misused this power.what do i mean? you were given an AK 51 gun, fully loaded, and you are in the midst of a forest when you suddenly saw an insect buzzling which eventually bite you; then you unconsciously decided to kill this insect but you do not see it any more cause the action was highly spontaneous, so you decided to shoot everywhere with the hope that at least of the bullets will kill that insect. this insect may not even be affected because it was like using a sledge hammer to press a leaf. but you have forgotten that the scattered bullet of yours have been turned to a stray bullets killing higher animals while targetting just a small insect. and so the rest of the animals will not take it lightly with you. Why? it was because they never touch you, but you have aroused them as a result of your little problem. by that you have disturb them and so they too will disturb you. First they will acuse you before God and so who will save you when the God who you trust delibrately allow them to teach you a vital lesson on how to aim at your target, learning a simple lesson in a hard way.Have you ever wondered why Michael the archangel while fighting with the devil concerning the corpse of Moses use wisdom instead of power as recorded: "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against a railing accusation, but said, the lord rebuke thee"{jude 9}.At least Michael in his power could wound him, yet he applied wisdom. what do all these mean? it means that if you don't know how to handle your target with wisdom, it could lead you into serious trouble.

C)God can be your problem: This sound so blaspemous or strange. The question is: God is my creator, can he then be my problems? yes God can be your problems. Why? The answer is found in this place: "And his disciples asked him, saying, master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, neither hath this man nor his parents, but that the works of God should be made manifest in him" {Jn.9:2-3}. Moreso, God could be your problems if you disobeyed him. The case was found for Jonah, David, Solomon, Saul and Jehu.

D)your environment could mar you: medically, a clean environment determined good health. also, biblically, when God was about to visit the israelites, he ordered that they should watch their clothes{Ex.19:14}. this was because God himself knew the importance of cleanliness.You eat biscuits and dump the nylon on the environment, sewages and refuses are the food of your drainage system, dirty clothes, dirty house, food and materials are your favourites. YET YOU SAY: "AIYE L'ONSE MI". tell me who your problem is?God said:"and thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee" {Deut.23:13}. why do God have to say this? it was because he knew that unprotected dungs enable the cholera to be transmitted as a result of the feeding of the coprosphagous insects. If God could say this; definitely he knows that it is not suitable for your health. And so it is time you examine yourself which one is your problem among all of these? check yourself. if you are the problems of yourself, stop all those things which you do that is causing harm to your health.If the devil is your problems, then i want you to mount to the throne of grace to obtain mercy because you can't save yourself. only one person can save you. he is currently asking for your release. he had paid your price and that was why he said through Isaiah the prophet that:"...even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered, for i will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and i will save thy children. and i will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh, and they be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that i the lord am thy savior and thy redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob."{Isa.49:25-26). in fact, even the lawful captive shall be set free!!!{v.44}.Now if God is your problem, you need to fall back unto him. He said:"If my people, which are called by name, shall humble themselves from their wicked ways; then will i hear from heaven, and i will forgive their sin, and heal their land"{2chro. 7:14} Why? he furthered: "for i know the thought that i think toward you, saith the lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil , to give you an expected end"{Jer.29:11}.need more of this? you can privately write me on this e-mail address: bamgold@rocketmail.com

LET DOWN YOUR NET

2008-07-09T17:50:00.000-07:00

On one of the Lord's adventures on exploitation of discipleship, he came across Peter, James, Andrew and John practising the same thing on the same day which was fishing. But among all peter's case is quite unique.Peter had toiled all the nights and couldn't catch any fish. in fact, when the day breaks, he was even searching for same.But as the Lord passeth by, he came across peter's boat and decided to use it to reach unto others. Peter did one thing, he allowed the Lord first into his boat, Jesus saw what Peter needs but decided to use his boat first for his own satisfaction. He spent perhaps two hours by then.I'm sure Peter would have been thinking that, 'if this man no feel help me, make he leave my boat', although Jesus felt for him, he tested his perseverance.After he had used close to about 2hrs of Peter's time which could be termed wasted time by Peter, he then decided to take action concerning his needs. He asked Peter to go deep a little and let down his net as narrated: "and it came to pass, that as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of gennesaret, and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. and he entered into one of the ships,which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. Now when when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, and LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A DRAUGHT. And Simon answering said unto him, master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing. Nevertheless at thy word i will let down the net". What happens next was recorded in this form: "and when they had done this they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake and they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink" (Luke5: 1-7).Jesus first, uses Peter's ship when Peter allowed him. If you don't allow him, he will not use your ship. Now, if Jesus doesn't use that ship, Peter's problems will not be solved.One thing baffles me here! Jesus do not after the preaching on the ship said unto Peter, 'follow me', but he first of all help him to catch the biggest fish of his life. Then, he did not again said, and i will make you the doctor, or engineer, or carpenter of men, but fishers of men. This was as a result of Peter being a fisherman.God want to use your profession. Are you a doctor? what does a doctor do? A doctor heals the sickness, perform surgical operations on any part of the body to correct or homoestised the internal environment, a doctor describes the type of illness a man has through diagnosis. So as a doctor of men, you are to heal the sickness of men by the power in the word of God, transforming the heart of men from stony to fleshy just like a heart transplant.Are you an engineer? what does an engineer do? An engineer repairs every vandalised structure; build up a complex machines from an imaginary plans and also surveys the capital that will cover all expenses. So as an engineer of men, you are to reshapen a bad or rascal life. also you are to build up an ignorant mind unto the knowledge of the words of God even from the scratch.No profession is a waste with God. However before he uses your profession, he would first help you to catch the biggest fish of your career, i mean help you to achieve your ultimate goal so that your heart won't be there again. Why? it was because an unfulfilled dream always draws back the heart to the past.But first, you have to allow him into your boat, i mean into your business, life, career, education, investment etc. He may not paddle it for you. that means you are still the controller just as he never paddle Peter's boat for him. All he needs is just to reach unto others. through these, you can be assure of:1)A secured future2)A fulfilled life.Therefore, if the Lord ordered you to Let down your net, do not hardened your heart or tell stories. LET DOWN YOUR NET AND CATCH THE BIGGEST FISH OF YOUR LIFE!!!

CURSE ON AFRICANS

2008-07-09T17:47:00.000-07:00

HAVEN'T you ever wondered why was it that despite the fact that the origin of life starts in Africa, Africans are still like slaves to the whites? America today was a super power, in fact the present world power, Europeans are the Next world power after the Americans and they shall be the last of all the world powers (for more on this click here).Asian countries like China, Japan, Indonesian, even India are not left out as they continued to rule their world.Africans always run to all these countries in search of greener pasture and once they get there, they always performs and make huge wealth to the extent that whenever they come back home they become exceedingly rich and great.Why do all these have to be so? from the outset of the creation, there was a curse on African. How? the answer lies here: "and Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard. and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. and Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. and Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakednes. And Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his younger son had done unto him. and he said, CURSED BE CANAAN, A SERVANT OF SERVANTS SHALL HE BE UNTO HIS BRETHREN. and he said, blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem, and Canaan shall be his servant".(Gen. 9:20-27).The first question is : who was Canaan? And how does he related to Ham? the bible answered: "...and Ham is the father of Canaan"(V.18).Ham represent Africa, the eldest of all the known continents, while Canaan represent African. i.e the children or people of Africa. Shem was The Americas (both the North, south and the antartical); while Japheth Euro-Australasia. why do i have to go this far? Africa is not a Curse land but Africans were cursed people.when a white man fall, you will see his people raising him up again without mocking him, but when an African fall, you see his people mocking and rejoicing at his/her fall. if you see an American or Euro-australasia that rose up to do a simple project, you see his people supporting him and contributing to his success, but Africans prefer to kill that project to raising it.Japheth and Shem never look at their father's nakedness and so they applied wisdom: this is the characteristic of the americo-euro-australasia, compare to a mockery African.i went somewhere sometimes when i saw someone falling to the drainage system, and as i was pitying him and saying sorry, i saw his bossom friend laughing. i then asked him why? he said; it was because i had earlier fallen into the gutter and that was why he place the log that passed over it in a slight way for others to fall inside it. this was the true African spirit. the characteristic of Canaan, the son of Ham.this was the reason why the whites always prosper in almost all they do,. from scientific invention to discoveries. to be sincere, African were not even entitled to any kind of growth or development as a result of this curse; but thanks to God for his mercy. If not for the blood of christ that touches the earth on that fateful day, we would have only remain but a slave.It was that blood that save only the African. And that was why it was as a result of the gospel that the whites brought unto us that opened their eyes to our resources which aid them to have interest in colonizing us. Colonizing us is another proof that they were like destined to rule us but for the gospel they brought, Light indeed shine in and on Africa.Today, rascism is almost eradicated and both the whites and the blacks were like one. this was as a result of what an Angel said:"...what God hath cleansed, that call not thou common"(acts 10:15). this was due to the fact that the blood that touches the earth cleansed us and make us one before God.Now, if this was so, why was it that most of the Africans were still suffering. yes the bible made it clear that the cursed has only been removed from only those people that believed in the great sacrifice as recorded: "but as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even unto them that believes on his name"(Jn.1:12). also, "there is therefore, now no condemnation, to them which are in christ Jesus..."(Rom. 8:1).it is like a barber who told one of his customer that there is no God. the customer asked; why? he replied: 'because if there is a God, there would not be poverty, suffering, and pains'. the customer said nothing. But on his way out, the customer saw a man with dirty bear, hair and mustache with rags on him and he then returned to the barber's shop and said,'ah, there is no barber oh'. the barber said, 'but if there is no barber, i wouldn't have cut your hair!' the customer replied:'if there is a barber, then there wouldn't be a man like this with dirty bear, mustache and hair with rags on him'. the barber replied: 'if he had come to me, i would have cleansed him of his dirth'. then, the customer said: 'if people don't go to God, God won't make himself exist in their lives'. so, you see, salvation is only meant for those people who believed on that great sacrifice. Christ has set free only those people who believed and allowed him to be the Lord of their lives. he redeemed such a person from the curse of sin unto death and rescued them from all that doesn't fit a god, i mean, poverty doesn't fit God, neither any kinds of pain, nor any sickness.Therefore, come to christ and be redeemed of the curse on you as an African by his blood.
