The Demon in Africa by Prophet Makandiwa
There is a demon that afflicts Africa and during that sermon Prophet Makandiwa exposed that demon.
Members of the church who heeded Prophet Makandiwa's call for them to fast on the day of the service were left with no doubt that it was necessary to do so.
The sermon was aptly titled: "Exposing the Demon Afflicting Africa" and although it was just an introduction, the people were left with no doubt that most of Africa's problems are spiritual.
Prophet Makandiwa said there is indeed a demon that is affecting Africa's progress and it is time for it to be exposed.He said for Zimbabwe to progress, there is need to know the principalities that are affecting Africa and its development.
The devil, Prophet Makandiwa said, runs a kingdom which has an order or hierarchy.
He said the devil's kingdom is an imitation of the hierarchy in the Kingdom of God.
The devil's kingdom starts with the devil himself, followed by his angels of darkness which are the principalities and then the servants of the devil who are people being used by the devil and these are evil priests and leaders who carry out his plan.
At the bottom of that hierarchy are people who believe in the devil.
Prophet Makandiwa said the devil is there to ensure that there is no progress in Africa, yet Africa is loved so much by God.In fact, each time there was a crisis among the Israelites, Prophet Makandiwa said, God made them turn to Africa for solutions.
The Tabernacle of Moses came from Africa and all the materials used to build it came from the continent when Israel left Egypt during the Exodus. Abraham had to leave his place of birth for Africa during a famine.
Likewise, Joseph came to Africa during a famine, resulting in the rest of his family following him to get sustenance from Africa because Joseph was now living in Egypt.
When Jesus was born, his father Joseph was told to take him to Africa so that he could escape death.
If God loved Africa that much, why is it that the continent is failing in many

    Menelik II, emperor of Ethiopia, appealed to the great powers of Europe to have mercy on Ethiopia in sight of their common faith (Doc. 3). He believed that his appeal to their shared faith would cause the Europeans to rethink their actions, but Menelik II did not understand that the Europeans regarded material wealth as more important than their faith. Ndansi Kumalo described how the British treated the Africans like animals, and they had superior weapons (Doc. 4). Ndansi Kumalo and his people did not understand that the British had superior weapons, so they were defeated and bewildered by the horrendous treatment they received from the British. Mojimba, an African chief recounted a battle against the British and African mercenaries, and he described how the Europeans had rifles (Doc. 9). Mojimba believed that the Europeans were more evil than the Africans were, and he realized that the Europeans were more evil than the Africans were, and he realized that the Europeans were hypocritical in the Christian faith with their malevolent actions. Menelik II’s option that the European powers would not attack his country because they shared the same faith was influenced by his faith as a fellow Christian and his understanding of Christianity that Christian powers should be friendly toward one another. The African leaders had a difficult time understanding the European culture and…

    In Heritage by Countee Cullen, we see this idea of God towards the ending. Part of this idea of God includes how for centuries that the "white monarchy" who believed in this divine right or the belief that God gave them the power to rule; were able to colonize Africa. For this reason, the author begins with the question of "what is Africa to me?" In a way, it is answered by this idea of precedented pain [referencing the slave trade from Africa] that allowed the African Americans to be in the situation they were in. The author states, "wishing He I served were black". In this statement, the He refers to God and the author is implying this idea if God were black and in Africa, maybe roles may have been different or more equal. Heritage attacks…

    The Sub-Saharan long distance commodity and slave trade as well as the syncretic interweaving of Islamic culture and traditional African culture accounts for Africa’s major influence as a superpower. Traders from all over the world were drawn to Africa’s riches in gold, ivory, and human beings. The fact that Africa was rich in resources posed influence in itself. Considering that a great number of the visiting traders were Muslims and they begin to intermarry and form relationships – economic and political alliances were formed and the adaptation of Islam was wide spread. This migration of humans in and out of Africa illustrates the African Diaspora at work before the Atlantic Slave trade. Several scholars argue that the long distance trade and the spread of Islam harmed Africa rather than promoted its growth. Others exclaim that Africa was never a super power in the first place. Explicitly witnessed in D.T. Niane’s Sundiata, is the manifestation and investigation of Africa’s power. The Sub-Saharan long distance trade and Islam caused an expansion in the population of Africa – and that in turn inspired a heavier weight materialistic value, intellectual development, and literacy improvement.…

    “It shows Africa's struggles with the reality of evil. In Africa, the "witch" is the most powerful image of what not to be. Thus Christ is a non-witch, an anti-witch, a witch healer or doctor, a physician who has power over the powers of evil” (Georgen 6). In other words, Africans believe that Jesus or Jesus the witch doctor understands how to handle a witch or, by my own inference, Jesus understands how to handle humans at our absolute worst and has the power to heal us at our…
