Luke 6:26Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

John 7:18He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Matthew 7:15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

2 Corinthians 11:19For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise. 20For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

Galatians 3: 1O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Philippians 1: 6Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Galatians 5:1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

John 1:12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

1 Corinthians 1:29That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Psalm 100: 3Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Thank God that Africa is leading the way in true whole-hearted commitment to the Lord! God bless them, everyone.

A lot of North American Christians have also given up on political and economic solutions that say they provide hope and freedom but that are really empty. A lot of North American prosperity is based on taking advantage of the poor - by drinking coffee with coffee beans picked by slave labor and other things like that. It is only Jesus that gives real hope and lasting prosperity!


This is wisdom:

“They (Africans) don’t know who else [can] provide that kind of hope that the Gospel provides,” Kobia added. “It is not politics, not economics - many of them have given up listening to political leaders or any other leaders other than those who say faith in Jesus Christ does give you hope.”
