The African spirit

Daily writing prompt
What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

It’s the traditional lifestyle – the connection to nature, the ochre dust from which we were taken (Genesis 2:7), and connection to the supernatural realm, which is pre-eminent. It is the hospitality for those we know and strangers alike. It is being undiluted by the rot of modernisation – children respecting elders, elders disciplining children, everyone playing their God-given role for the advancement of society. It is rebuilding after every trauma our continent and people have been put through, and still our light has yet to be extinguished. Because we are fire – God’s fire, arrows launched into the void to dispel the powers of darkness and break up the works of the devil. We have our problems, but we are rich in the things that matter.
