Oh Ye Black Child, Blame Tradition Nor Village People No More by Nigerdeltaent(m): 9:52pm On Nov 05, 2021
Hi guys, am back again with my views on Tradition and religion.
Obviously, When I hear people talk about WITCHRAFTCY and link it to African Tradition & Culture, I get very very angry with them.


Hello! For the umpteenth time, Witchraftcy has no link with AFRICAN TRADITIONAL SYSTEM.

Neither will you forming Western Culture & over holiness make you any better.

Same way we have evil Native doctors, we also have evil Pastors.

Good evil grow together in all facets of life and that's Biblical too (Matt. 13:30).

On a personal experience, I have spoken up severally against wrong practices & teachings in Religious circles and also, I don't really believe in WITCHRAFTCY (to me, Witchraftcy is a state of mind or a Belief system just like with other religious beliefs system including Christianity).

And for over 10yrs now, I have trained my mind to focus and Entertain only progressive and positive thoughts and this has worked perfectly for me, I mean, no single spiritual attack either in form of nightmare or spiritual encounter.

As Proverbs 23:7 puts it perfectly; �

As someone thinks in his heart, so he is.
-Proverbs 23:7

We are not victims of Witchraftcy, African Traditional System, biology or circumstances (Sadly, Religious bodies and Nollywood have brainwashed people to think so, thereby making people turn against their Traditions & culture).

My dear, your village or family members are not your problem.

You're a victim to your thoughts,

If you exalt a RELIGIOUS MARRIAGE over TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE, then wisdom should ask you;
why is it that despite the proliferation of Religious bodies, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ELIMINATE TRADITIONAL PRACTICES.

See, TRADITION was made by GOD.

Jesus even said in Mark 12:17;
Give what belongs to Caeser to Caeser, and to God (not Religion) what is God.

Psalm 62:11 clearly states and I quote;
'All' Power belong to God.

And Verse 12 adds;
That He (God) gives to every man (not some men), according to the value of their work (work of Love) on Earth.

See, WHEN YOU THINK, YOU BUILD THOUGHTS, AND THESE BECOMES PHYSICAL SUBSTANCES IN YOUR BRAIN.

NIGERIA will not experience Development Because you abandoned your culture and Traditional believes to welcome a white man's own.

India, China, Saudi Arabia, Japan are experiencing rapid development with their Traditional Practices very much intact.

Infact in China for instance, the Bible and practice of Religious activities is out of ban in public places.

So Our Tradition couldn't have been our problem, neither is WESTERNIZATION or RELIGION our SOLUTION.

OUR SOLUTION lies right in our heart.

A Typical Nigerian needs a Conscious porch of his heart from SELFISHNESS which sadly, RELIGION promotes, to a heart of LOVE which is the true Message of JESUS CHRIST.

Until Churches and other Religious bodies start preaching LOVE over MIRACLES, SIGNS & WONDERS, Nigeria will still be lacking behind because everybody right now is running with a very SELFISH & HYPOCRITICAL MINDSET.

Finally,
THE QUALITY OF YOUR THINKING DETERMINES THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE.

RENEW YOUR MIND TODAY TO FOCUS ON ONLY POSITIVE THOUGHTS & IDEAS.

Remain Blessed.
