My recent observation regarding prophecies and deliverance preaching on TV is that it is only the African pastors who choose to channel their preaching through prophesy, casting out of demons and the usual family curses and blood sucking altars in our family houses.
An African dreaming of sitting on a train will be quickly interpreted as ‘the person’s life is slow or someone is dragging them back in life’, while a non-African will just go about his day to day activities with no care in the world.
African presidents are always seen in dreams dying or about to die. Or nearing elections, the African pastor gets revelations that this or that person will win. The question therefore is, is it only Africa God created or He created the whole universe as the Bible teaches us?
Why it appears that the ‘God of Africa’ is different from the ‘Universal God’
The God of Africa is very kind, but extremely kind to ‘His’ agents (pastors).
He blesses them with 3-5 jets without even ‘dashing’ one to the usher who is on her/his feet throughout the service. I just laughed when the pope mentioned that priests should ride humble cars.
Our God does not bless African pastors (priests) with humble cars – ‘He’ does bless them with the latest rides in town…
In Africa, nothing works without prayer. Right from election rigging to writing an exam, you need to pray. You can refuse to learn but pray and fast and your answers will ‘just appear on the paper’.
If a particular political party is gathered and planning on how to ‘chop’ all the money in the country’s coffers or how to inflate or deflate monies meant for contracts, a prayer is needed to kick start the meeting.
