The link between Slave Trade & Christianity – Elliot Borketey writes

Slave Trade has been one of the biggest wounds created by the Western world on Africa.
Slave Trade was rampant in Africa before civilization took hold of the continent.
Before Christianity was adopted by the continent, Africa especially Ghana has her own religious denomination which is more of an African traditional religion.
This centred on the way Africans live within the continent.Our Culture and our general stlye of livelihood.

Some Africans have resulted to atheism as a result of slavery and it’s bizzare consequences on humanity.
This is simply because the “white man” came with the Bible to propagate the gosple.
The Gosple then resulted to human trade among themselves.
The Portuguese was a typical example.

But my article has a sharp baring on slavery and Christianity;.
The Gosple had to be sent across the oceans for redemption;even Paul as an Apostle of our Lord Jesus carried out this task at the peril of his life.
That is a positive part of the existence of the “Whites” on our shores.
We’re all enjoying the Grace of God at the moment.

This is why we need to overlook the “The slave masters” ill intentions.
God in His infinite wisdom knew what He was doing at that time;.He rules in the affairs of men.His ways are not carnal.
That not withstanding;it’s about time Africans within the Diaspora uses this “Wounds” created by the whites In a more postive way.
They must visit periodically and support the continent in every way possible.

Most African countries are far behind development simply because of slave trade & Exodus;coupled with corruption which seems to be on the ascendency in rescent time.
It’s about time African leaders especially West Africa; plans towards making the sub region an attractive one devoid of corruption and it’s negative traits.This seems to be scaring off investors into the region.

Let’s hold each other’s hands and be more United than ever.
As sovereign Nation’s,we must prove our worth and put the past behind us to make our Independence and freedom from the shackles a worthwhile.
#Longlive mother Ghana
#LongliveAfrica
#Freedom
#StillJesusisLord
