Riches and Christianity

I have asked a number of people on how Africa can develop to be like the EU or the US not in terms of having a single nation but in terms of infrastructure and wealth.

The answers have been very interesting. I have had poor answers and good answers. That has sharpened my belief that God is the answer to our poverty. He is the one who gives us the power to make wealth.

On the poor answers one man said to me, we need democracy for Africa to develop. I asked him, if the majority are always right. He said they are, if they become selfless. My answer was Africans are selfish then democracy is the answer for a selfless well feed society like the US and the EU who may think they are too full to need God. If an Election is done between God and satan, the latter would win because its a perverse generation. Watch who is in power in this democratic age. Judge for yourselves.

On the good answers one said as long as Africa have Aid and Aids programs running it will always be poorer. Look at the best brains distributing condoms, maize meal and beans. Which African can say no to US$2 000 000 to do an aid project. These people have the brains to manufacture cars, computers and cellphones. To add to this point I thought the president of Malawi is very educated for his Job, the same is the Deputy Prime Minister of Zimbabwe. Why do they not concentrate on their calling and make a difference in Africa.

The other person said that development starts in the family unit. How many single mothers do you know in Africa? They are plenty. It means their families are not guaranteed an education, food, shelter and discipline. The poverty will not end until this ungodly culture is done with. Remember the word culture is made up of Cult and Ure, making it tough to have a godly CULTure.
