Nyame Nhyra Mbaa [G-D Bless Women]

One of my professional friends and I were talking about Ghanaian women, in particular, their character and mindsets. The entire conversation was very disturbing to me. I all of a sudden realized why many act the way they do and why some African men’s apparent lack of control of their sexual proclivities to denigrate and disrespect women. My friend who is a counselor began to tell me how many women, when indulging in sexual activities, whether within or outside the marital relationship, insists that their ‘vagina belongs to them and they can do what they want with it’, while claiming to be living a godly and holy life. I thought hog wash! Surly they cannot think such!

As an African of Diaspora, I am misjudged by both African men and women according to that of which they have been programmed to think of American Blacks from news media or that they see on TV shows. Their beliefs culminate with a number of dysfunctions and false beliefs from the way the majority of African men treat women as sex objects as the Europeans, to satisfy their narcissistic and false beliefs they hold of warped ‘mocha-man’ sexual concepts. I believe this is mainly due to a colonization mindset and leaving the Ways of the Ancestors as they became acclimated to Western Christianity, Greek and European mindsets in regards to the inferiority of women.

I just could not wrap my head around what my friend was telling me. The next day, I picked up a daily newspaper and read the caption: ”Pron Video Hits Gomoa Ojobi”. As I began to read through the article that had not only a photo of the man but his name and occupation who the police had arrested for “allegedly having sex acts with a married woman and selling the video on line…The suspect was said to have had sex with the women (name withheld) in an uncompleted building after she asked him to lend her money to pay for the fee of her ward…”. Now anyone who lives in or know anything about Ghana there are many such buildings and they are more than likely filthy dirty and overgrown with weeds. The ‘wards’ are usually those of whom their family cannot pay for their schooling. Therefore, they become live-in house help for ‘well-to-do’ Ghanaians and foreigners who live in Ghana who pay for their schooling in return for room and board and perhaps uniforms and books.

I could not help but to put my hand over my mouth. As I continued to read the article, it told of the willing sexual acts of abuse in various positions and the woman performing oral sex on the man. I was flabbergast because the very reasons the article sighted for her alleged succumbing to what the man demanded was exactly what my friend and I talked about the day before.

The most pathetic and distressing thing of all was that the woman was the pastor’s wife at the local church in the town! OMG! A pastor’s wife of one of the oldest and largest international denominations in the world! What could this pastor have been teaching or doing that she could not go to her husband to get whatever she needed? What kind of spirit could she have had that as a pastors wife who supposedly believed in the god they served, would go to another man and ask for money for any reason?

I would not have believed it, yet it explained all the untoward ‘passes’ made to me from men within and without ministry; the overall attitude that I should give way to their contemptible advances or pay them in addition to the job they were getting paid to do; why I have been rejected and denigrate as a teacher of truth; and, why I have been refused platform by the ruling religious leaders of organizations (international and local) in Ghana.

You see, for those who do not know my mission for Ghana and the Divine Universal Mission for all of mankind is Restoration. Restoration demands a change in mindsets; a repentant nature, a humble, contrite, receptive, obedient and pliable heart with a love for G-D and mankind. What a sense of humor our Ancestors have…the Most High sent a woman to teach, lead, direct, and point all into the knowledge of truth; male and female, young and old.

Lol, how funny the things and unlikely people the Most High uses to bring about fulfillment of Purpose and the Will for humanity. Only, I do not find their scamming and scheming, their reluctance to receive truth, their disobedience, and actions of blatant abuse of the feminine godess or the enlightened ones funny at all! Yet, my job is to release revelation from Zion and let the Spirit do the rest. That I do no matter what they might throw in my path.

Have our people gone so far off in the Great Whore of Babylon away from the Way of our Ancestors, as they mimic Western Christianity, that they have become so very vile and evil as to think that what they do in secret will not come to the light?

According to a prophecies I received 24April2015, 26July2016, 6August2016 that were recorded and disseminated through Face Book, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google Plus, Preparing Mindsets For A Higher Truth, and Revelation Today For The Nations; Ghana, I want you to know that the pastors wife is only the beginning of bringing your evil adulterous and treacherous ways to light. You have treated the true prophets and enlightened ones who were sent to guide you into truth with much prejudice and contempt in your ignorance. From your government officials, your Christian councils, bishops, your false prophets, apostles, pastors and other religious heads, you have robbed the people and continue to keep them in ignorance for your own personal greed and not one of your evil acts have gone unnoticed. You will be judged harshly and swiftly.

As one chosen and called to Ghana and the Nations of Chosen peoples, I have been justified and qualified with revelation, truth and Divine Counsel. I am telling you to step down or you will be brought down. Repent NOW and it may be that the Most High will have mercy on you. I tell you this is only the beginning of miseries.

Catch the vision!

Why Celebrate Kwanzaa?

Kwanzaa is a festival observed by many African Americans from 26 December to 1 January as a celebration of their cultural heritage and traditional values.

The name Kwanzaa is derived from the phrase “matunda ya kwanza” which means “first fruits” in Swahili. Each family celebrates Kwanzaa in its own way. Celebrations often include songs and dances, African drums, storytelling, poetry reading, and a large traditional meal.

On each of the seven nights, the family gathers and a child lights one of the candles on the Kinara. The Kinora has seven prongs just as the Hebrew Manorah that celebrates the Feast Of Lights known as Chanukah.

Each night at the lighting of the candles, one of the seven principles are discussed. The principles, called the Nguzo Saba (seven principles in Swahili) are values of African culture which contribute to building and reinforcing community among Africans home and abroad.

Kwanzaa was created by dr. Maulana Karenga and was first celebrated in 1966. Maulana Karenga was the professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University, Long Beach. After the Watts riots in Los Angeles, Dr. Karenga searched for ways to bring African-Americans together as a community. He founded US, a cultural organization, and started to research African/Hebrew “first fruit” (harvest) celebrations. Karenga combined aspects of several different harvest celebrations, such as those of the Ashanti (Region of Ghana) and those of the Zulu, to form the basis of Kwanzaa.

Kwanzaa’s mission is to promote the following economic core values and to promote African culture, beliefs and ways of life of the Ancestors that have been lost or not recorded in Western and European histories:

Core Values
Collective Work and Responsibility: Ujima (oo–GEE–mah)
To build and maintain our community together and make our brother’s and sister’s problems our problems and to solve them together.

Cooperative Economics: Ujamaa (oo–JAH–mah)

To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together.

Purpose: Nia (nee–YAH)

To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.

Creativity: Kuumba (koo–OOM–bah)

To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.

Faith: Imani (ee–MAH–nee)

To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of the Restoration of our people.

Seven Symbols

The seven symbols are representative of the Restoration of A royal nation of peoples and their spirituality that was devalued and taken away through those countries who infiltrated the African Continent forcing Africans into the Translantic Slave Trade through religion, colonization and slavery.

The seven principles, or Nguzo Saba are a set of ideals created by Dr. Maulana Karenga. Each day of Kwanzaa emphasizes a different principle.

Mazao, the crops (fruits, nuts, and vegetables)

Symbolizes work and the basis of the holiday. It represents the historical foundation for Kwanzaa, the gathering of the people that is patterned after African harvest festivals in which joy, sharing, unity, and thanksgiving are the fruits of collective planning and work. Since the family is the basic social and economic center of every civilization, the celebration bonded family members, reaffirming their commitment and responsibility to each other. In Africa the family may have included several generations of two or more nuclear families, as well as distant relatives. Ancient Africans didn’t care how large the family was, but there was only one leader – the oldest male of the strongest group. For this reason, an entire village may have been composed of one family. The family was a limb of a tribe that shared common customs, cultural traditions, and political unity and were supposedly descended from common ancestors. The tribe lived by traditions that provided continuity and identity. Tribal laws often determined the value system, laws, and customs encompassing birth, adolescence, marriage, parenthood, maturity, and death. Through personal sacrifice and hard work, the farmers sowed seeds that brought forth new plant life to feed the people and other animals of the earth. To demonstrate their mazao, celebrants of Kwanzaa place nuts, fruit, and vegetables, representing work, on the mkeka.

Mkeka: Place Mat

The mkeka, made from straw or cloth, comes directly from Africa and expresses history, culture, and tradition. It symbolizes the historical and traditional foundation for us to stand on and build our lives because today stands on our yesterdays, just as the other symbols stand on the mkeka. In 1965, James Baldwin wrote: “For history is not merely something to be read. And it does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the facts that we carry it within us, are consciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do. It could scarcely be otherwise, since it is to history that we owe our frames of reference, our identities, and our aspirations.” During Kwanzaa, we study, recall, and reflect on our history and the role we are to play as a legacy to the future. Ancient societies made mats from straw, the dried seams of grains, sowed and reaped collectively. The weavers took the stalks and created household baskets and mats. Today, we buy mkeka that are made from Kente cloth, African mud cloth, and other textiles from various areas of the African continent. The mishumaa saba, the vibunzi, the mazao, the zawadi, the kikombe cha umoja, and the kinara are placed directly on the mkeka.

Vibunzi: Ear of Corn

The stalk of corn represents fertility and symbolizes that through the reproduction of children, the future hopes of the family are brought to life. One ear is called vibunzi, and two or more ears are called mihindi. Each ear symbolizes a child in the family, and thus one ear is placed on the mkeka for each child in the family. If there are no children in the home, two ears are still set on the mkeka because each person is responsible for the children of the community. During Kwanzaa, we take the love and nurturance that was heaped on us as children and selflessly return it to all children, especially the helpless, homeless, loveless ones in our community. Thus, the Nigerian proverb “It takes a whole village to raise a child” is realized in this symbol (vibunzi), since raising a child in Africa was a community affair, involving the tribal village, as well as the family. Good habits of respect for self and others, discipline, positive thinking, expectations, compassion, empathy, charity, and self-direction are learned in childhood from parents, from peers, and from experiences. Children are essential to Kwanzaa, for they are the future, the seed bearers that will carry cultural values and practices into the next generation. For this reason, children were cared for communally and individually within a tribal village. The biological family was ultimately responsible for raising its own children, but every person in the village was responsible for the safety and welfare of all the children.

Mishumaa Saba: The Seven Candles

Candles are ceremonial objects with two primary purposes: to re-create symbolically the sun’s power and to provide light. The celebration of fire through candle burning is not limited to one particular group or country; it occurs everywhere. Mishumaa saba are the seven candles: three red, three green, and one black. The back candle symbolizes Umoja (unity), the basis of success, and is lit on December 26. The three green candles, representing Nia, Ujima, and Imani, are placed to the right of the Umoja candle, while the three red candles, representing Kujichagulia, Ujamaa, and Kuumba, are placed to the left of it. During Kwanzaa, on candle, representing one principle, is lit each day. Then the other candles are relit to give off more light and vision. The number of candles burning also indicate the principle that is being celebrated. The illuminating fire of the candles is a basic element of the universe, and every celebration and festival includes fire in some form. Fire’s mystique, like the sun, is irresistible and can destroy or create with its mesmerizing, frightening, mystifying power.

Mishumaa saba’s symbolic colors are from the red, black, and green flag (bendara) created by Marcus Garvey. The colors also represent African gods. Red is the color of Shango, the Yoruba god of fire, thunder, and lightning, who lives in the clouds and sends down his thunderbolt whenever he is angry or offended. It also represents the struggle for self-determination and freedom by people of color. Black is the people, the earth, the source of life, representing hope, creativity, and faith and denoting messages and the opening and closing of doors. Green represents the earth that sustains our lives and provides hope, divination, employment, and the fruits of the harvest.

Kinara: The Candleholder

The kinara is the center of the Kwanzaa setting and represents the original stalk from which we came: our ancestry. The kinara can be shape – straight lines, semicircles, or spirals – as long as the seven candles are separate and distinct, like a candelabra. Kinaras are made from all kinds of materials, and many celebrants create their own from fallen branches, wood, or other natural materials. The kinara symbolizes the ancestors, who were once earth bound; understand the problems of human life; and are willing to protect their progeny from danger, evil, and mistakes. In African festivals the ancestors are remembered and honored. The mishumaa saba are placed in the kinara.

Kikombe Cha Umoja: The Unity Cup

The kikombe cha umoja is a special cup that is used to perform the libation (tambiko) ritual during the Karamu feast on the sixth day of Kwanzaa. In many African societies libation are poured for the living dead whose souls stay with the earth they tilled. The Ibo of Nigeria believe that to drink the last portion of a libation is to invite the wrath of the spirits and the ancestors; consequently, the last part of the libation belongs to the ancestors. During the Karamu feast, the kikombe cha umoja is passed to family member and guests, who drink from it to promote unity. Then, the eldest person present pours the libation (tambiko), usually water, juice, or wine, in the direction of the four winds – north, south, east, and west – to honor the ancestors. The eldest asks the gods and ancestors to share in the festivities and, in return, to bless all the people who are not at the gathering. After asking for this blessing, the elder pours the libation on the ground and the group says “Amen.” Large Kwanzaa gatherings may operate just as communion services in most churches, for which it is common for celebrants to have individual cups and to drink the libation together as a sign of unity. Several families may have a cup that is specifically for the ancestors, and everyone else has his or her own. The last few ounces of the libation are poured into the cup of the host or hostess, who sips it and then hands it to the oldest person in the group, who asks for the blessing.

Zawadi:Gifts

When we celebrate Imani on the seventh day of Kwanzaa, we give meaningful zawadi (gifts) to encourage growth, self-determination, achievement, and success. We exchange the gifts with members of our immediate family, especially the children, to promote or reward accomplishments and commitments kept, as well as with our guests. Handmade gifts are encouraged to promote self-determination, purpose, and creativity and to avoid the chaos of shopping and conspicuous consumption during the December holiday season. A family may spend the year making kinaras or may create cards, dolls, or mkekas to give to their guests. Accepting a gift implies a moral obligation to fulfill the promise of the gift; it obliges the recipient to follow the training of the host. The gift cements social relationships, allowing the receiver to share the duties and the rights of a family member. Accepting a gift makes the receiver part of the family and promotes Umoja.

Revelation of Chanukah

THE STORY OF CHANUKAH (Hanukkah) also known as the Feast of Lights and the Feast of Dedication began during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon captivity of the people of the Most High. (The spelling is different because Hebrew is a guttural language, originally with no vowels, therefore the letters represents the guttural sound.)

Because of the defilement's of the commandments of YHVH, the Holy days, and turning from the Ways of the Ancestors to the worship of idols, the Prophet Jeremiah prophesied 140 years prior of Babylonian captivity.

The captivity of YHVH’s people along with a succession of Kings and kingdoms were told by Daniel the Prophet.

Daniel was a child of royal descent when Nebuchadnezzar came against the people, destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. Because of Daniels loyalty and obedience to the Holy Ordinances, and Commandments, Daniel was exalted to a position of honor while in Babylonian captivity. Daniel was taught in the ways of the Chaldean's and most importantly, Daniel was given the gifts of dreams and visions and interpretations of dreams and visions.

The same visions and revelations Daniel received were attested to by a host of prophets before Daniels time all the way to the Book of Revelations.

The major theme of Daniel was the dream given to Nebuchadnezzar about the great awesome image.

This image represented a succession of Kings, Kingdoms and eras in history and as with most Old Testament prophecies were meant to enlighten the people and to warn them of impending disasters.

The literal interpretations of the Image have been fulfilled. The prophetic aspect of Daniel and Revelation has been made an object of apocalyptic imagery, debate and scandal to which we still find the Chosen people being led astray as they have become acclimated to misinterpretations, false teachings and beliefs in addition to tradition and false interpretations.

Most often I hear that 'Jesus' did away with the Law. Yet YAHshua said, “I come not to destroy the law and the prophets but to fulfill”.

E.E. Cleveland said, “To reject the Old Testament is to reject the New because the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed”.

Within the pages of the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Bible were revealed all that humans needs to live a long fruitful life; to be regenerated into the likeness of Christ; and, to be informed as to what is to occur in the last days or as Amos and I say, “The Third Day”.

This Great Image had a HEAD OF GOLD – Represented King Nebuchadnezzar and Babylonian rule.

BREASTS AND ARMS OF SILVER – Represented Medeo/Persia, in particular Antiochus Epiphanies.

BELLY AND THIGHS OF BRONZE – Represents the Grecian rule with Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, Mark Anthony, Ptolemy’s etc.

LEGS AND FEET OF IRON AND CLAY – Represented ROME.

STONE CUT OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN THAT CRUSHED THE STATUE – Is of the DIVINE KINGDOM AGE of which we are living now and being Restored back to the Ways of the Ancients of Days.

The era that I want to focus on is the rule of the Medes and Persians.

During the first part of rule of the Medes under King Darius because Daniel dedicated himself to worship YHVH and to give YHVH glory for all things, Darius made a decree to rebuild the Temple and Jerusalem.

Many came against the restoration of the Temple. Darius died. The Persians and a host of evil rulers killed the people of YHVH returning them into bondage and captivity.

Antiochus Epiphanes was the worse. He entered the Temple taking all the precious vessels that had been returned by Darius. He taxed the inhabitants of Judah, shedding innocent blood of the priests in the sanctuary and forced the people to serve other gods (of which many Christians of today still worship), profaning the 'Temple' and Sabbaths. This was know as the literal fulfillment of the “Abomination of Desolation” spoken by Daniel.

The Chosen One's were forced to go underground to preserve the Way of the Most High. Those found with Scriptures were put to death. However, there is always got a “Ram in the Bush”.

Mattathias the Priest: Spoke against this blaspheming of the Holy City, the Temple and the People and vowed that he and his house, brothers and father would walk in the Laws and Ordinances of YHVH. The revolt had begun.

Judas Maccabees was more popularly known as he followed in the footsteps of his father Mattathias conquering kings and kingdoms. YHVH gave Judas victory in all battles as he regained the Holy City, the Holy Vessels and freed the people to return to the Ways of The Most High and to the Holy Land.

When they went into the Temple to clean it and restore the Holy Vessels Holy oil was found to light the Menorah to burn for one night.

The Miracle was that the menorah burned for eight days and nights. Seven days are required to sanctify the priest, the holy vessels and the sanctuary.

Thus the Temple of YHVH was re-dedicated. Many say that this re-dedication occurred on the 25th of Chesliv.

The Prophetic significance for us today is Restoration and re dedication of our divine temple (body); to remember how The Most High intervenes on behalf of royal progeny; to show and remind us of how YAHSHUA was a MESSIAH bringing LIGHT that shines in darkness that would give insight and illumination to the inheritors of the Divine Seed.

This is why I choose to keep the Feast of Lights or the Feast of Dedication--CHANUKAH.

The history and stories of some of the most important times in the times of the people of YHVH were eliminated from Scriptures by many down through history. However, the Puritans were responsible for the elimination of the Apocrypha, which holds some of the Mysteries of the people of YHVH including the history of Chanukah. Also eliminated in the Canonization of Scriptures and the Bible were the Gnostic Scriptures and the Book of Enoch that would further elucidate on and reveal the Mysteries of the Restoration of a divine race of people.
