AFRICA’S DELIVERANCE FROM OPPRESSION

Deliverance will only occur when the cry of Africa catches the attention of God.

The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help went up to God (Exodus 2:23). Psalms 107:13-16 similarly describes the
breaking free of oppression:

“Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
and broke their chains in pieces. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the
children of men!

For He has broken the gates of bronze, and cut the bars of iron in two.”

And when oppression has been broken, according to Isaiah 51:11-14; the ransomed returns with singing, filled with everlasting joy – not just temporary joy like what we experience during Christmas or when your candidate wins an election; sorrow and sighing which is deeply embedded because of
the long-time oppression will flee away; there will be no more fear of the fury of the oppressor (the fear of idols and demons, fear of
false teachers and prophets, fear of dictators and corrupt leaders, fear of poverty manifested as famine, lack of jobs, lack of
investment assets, lack of health services, lack of shelter, lack of access to education…)

There will be a sudden end of fear.

Much of the oppression of Africans has been due to the contribution of our fellow Africans.

The African Exodus will recover the African knowledge, African capital and African networks back to the land of Ham.
