Exposing Taquiyya: The Lie African Muslims are Fed about Slave Trade in Africa to Make Them Hate Christianity Introduction   African Muslims are told a false story to make them hate Christianity. They are told that Christianity enslaved Africa while Islam brought freedom. That story is a lie (Taquiyya). Taquiyya is a permissible lie Muslims are taught to tell to promote islam. The truth of history and Scripture is clear: there is nothing like Christian slavery, but there is Islamic slavery. The Gospel of Christ is liberating. Jesus did not have slaves. Muslims follow the example of Mohammed who owned slaves, bought slaves, sold slaves, and traded with them. When African Muslims know the facts, they see who actually enslaved their ancestors. 1. There Is No Christian Slavery in the Gospel of Christ   The Gospel of Christ is liberating and contains no command to enslave people. Jesus Christ came to set captives free and proclaimed freedom to those in bondage. Luke 4:18 ...

Jesus Is God: Biblical and Linguistic Evidence for His Divinity Many Muslims are taught: “Jesus never said the exact words ‘I am God, worship me,’ therefore His divinity cannot be proven from the Bible.” This argument was popularized by debaters like Ahmed Deedat and Zakir Naik. But it commits a basic logical error: a person does not need to use a modern formula to claim an identity. A thief does not need to say “I am a thief, arrest me” before his actions prove it.  “God” in both Hebrew Elohim and Greek Theos is not a personal name like “Yahweh” but a title/class for the one who possesses divine nature, authority, and worship. Jesus never claimed to be “God the Father,” but He repeatedly claimed the divine name, divine prerogatives, and received worship — things no prophet claimed. The Bible establishes His divinity not by one slogan, but by His words, works, titles, and resurrection. We will also note where the Qur’an and Hadith indirectly confirm details about Jesus that make Hi...

A Biblical Roadmap for Gospel Music Ministry in Africa “The Gospel Music Industry Is darker than what you think. It is clothed in hypocrisy, lies, denials, pretense and deep religion.”   ~ Eezee T., a Gospel Music Producer, alleges Eezee T, founder of EeZee Conceptz and former manager of artists like Mercy Chinwo, made this statement during a 2023-2024 public fallout that exposed contract disputes, royalty denials, accusations of spiritual manipulation, and “pretense of holiness” behind the scenes. His words echoed what many African gospel artists have whispered for years: the stage lights hide contract breaches, sexual exploitation, payola, and ministers who “have a form of godliness but deny its power” 2 Timothy 3:5.  This is not new. When music is separated from the Word that became flesh John 1:14, it becomes religion — outward performance without inward transformation. Africa does not need another music industry. It needs a biblical music ministry. This roadmap draws...

  The Word Became Flesh and Dwelt among Us: The Gospel and Cultural Transformation in Africa John 1:14 declares the core of Christian mission: “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” God did not broadcast truth from a distance. He entered a specific culture — 1st century Jewish Palestine — with its language, food, family structures, and politics. The incarnation means the Gospel never moves as a culture-less idea. It always takes on flesh in a new context.  When the Gospel crossed into Africa, it was meant to do the same: Christ taking African flesh so Africans could worship Him as fully African people. But mission history shows a recurring distortion. Some Western missionaries brought “Gospel + European culture” as one package. Some African churches today export “Gospel + African culture” the same way. Both errors share one root: cultural imperialism and a superiority complex that treats one culture as the standard for godliness. We will examines the dynamics of how the G...

African Indigenous Knowledge, Christian Discernment, and the Call to Mental Decolonization Introduction The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is liberating! Many Africans are not aware that during the colonial era, the Gospel was wrapped in colonial paper by some missionaries. There are things we accepted with Gospel that are not part of the Gospel but culture of the colonizers with which some missionaries were complicit. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” – Hosea 4:6. That verse was not spoken to Gentiles who refused the Torah. It was spoken to God’s covenant people who had access to truth but chose ignorance.  Today, that same warning echoes across Africa. For over two centuries, African Christians have lived under a cultural captivity we mistook for holiness. Colonial missionaries (as opposed to genuine missionaries), many with sincere hearts but limited vision, preached a package: “To be saved is to become European.” They taught their kind of  Christianity that ...
