At home in Africa, we have an explanation to all.
The palm of a scratch hand, an eye that taps, a foot that knocks, a dream, to make the layette of a child boy in blue otherwise it is frowned upon …
Nothing is for nothing and that’s how we grew up, it is in these superstitions that some have built their lives. It is our mentality and it profoundly influences our contact with the Lord.
Our customs and traditions in our villages are clearly contrary to biblical principles.
Take the example of funerals in Africa, in this case, we dance with masks.
During the wearing of these masks, we forget everything and we are berces by the spirits associated with the party.
For some people we naively do the actions that enchain and poison our lives, they are moments of strong spiritual exchanges that sometimes disconnect us from our destiny.
Go see a marabout to predict the future while they themselves do not fare, we are reassured that they do their witchcraft, they are there to continue the work of the devil, they have nothing that push us To take them for models, the proof is that they are generally in the nauseating slums, and without any progress but as it is already in our habits, we think to find solutions at their side.
I remember a lady who had to travel with her mother, she went to consult a marabout who told her clearly that she will not have a visa but rather her mother.
Discouraged, she did not want to commit, according to her, he is very strong, every time he spoke, it happened as he said.
We convinced her as we could and finally she went to the embassy and she got the visa and not her mother.
That’s what we shut up in every day.
The truth is that we can not follow two hares at a time, or it’s Jesus or the devil.
There is not half measure, there is no compatibility between the two.
Some wonder if they should adhere to the word of God and reject the traditions?
God disapproves of traditions and superstitions, for him, no astrology and no consultation of the dead.
A Christian must know how to position himself and put an end to everything that encroaches on his relationship with God,
We are not going to marry these lies of the enemy, we will make the difference and especially accept those who do not hinder the will of the Lord.
We can make them accessible by removing any deviation from these practices in the light of the gospel.
In any case, when something transgresses the word of the Lord, it is not consumable because it causes us harm.
At this instruction, Jesus sends us in the book of Galatians 4: 9 – but now that you have known God, or rather that you have been known to God, how do you return to these weak and poor rudiments, to whom again you want to enslave yourself again?
Fast and pray to abandon every form of superstitions and traditions.
Let us leave the traditions behind us and hold on to Jesus, let us now examine everything in the light of the word of God.
It is true that it is an inheritance left by our parents but all heritage does not necessarily correspond to us.
There is one who separates us from the kingdom of heaven and brings us straight to hell.
So let’s be vigilant and let God dismount and trace our story.
Hello home
Have a good day
