CAN YOU NAME ONE AFRICAN GOD/GODDESS?The Gods and Goddesses of Africa VERY IMPORTANT:Concept of Deity by John Henrik ClarkeTo
hold a people in oppression you have to convince them first that they
are supposed to beoppressed.When the European comes to a country,the
first thing he does is to laugh at your God and your God concept. And
the next thing is to make...you laugh at your own God concept. Then
he don't have to build no jailsfor you then, cause he's got you in a
jail more binding than iron canever put you.Anytime you turn on your own
concept of God,you are no longer a free man. No one needs to put chains
on your body,because the chains are on your mind.Anytime
someone say'syour God is ugly and you release your God and join their
God, there isno hope for your freedom until you once more believe in
your own conceptof the 'deity.'Most African cultures, if not all,
believe in a Supreme Creator in one form or another. A God behind the
Gods, a Supreme God who created everything. The Creator is
thought to have once lived on Earth, but left it for His Kingdom in the
Sky because of human infractions. Because he was no longer in direct
contact with the people, Lesser Gods were created directly from His
power to do certain jobs that were given to them. These Lesser Gods are
the Gods of Earth, The Rains, Water, The Winds, Fire, etc. The Deities
are capable of answering human prayers by use of their own power and can
intercede on man's behalf with the Creator Himself. Although
The Supreme Creator is usually referred to by him etc. it is beyond sex,
being both male and female. It has no form and is thought of in an
abstract way. It is available to any human, regardless of their
position. A breath of Its Divine Being is within all animate and
inanimate things.It is known as Mulungu (East Africa), Leza (Central
Africa), Nyambe (West Tropics), Nyame (Ghana), the Molder, Giver of
Breath and Souls, God of Destiny, One Who Exists of Himself, God of Pity
and Comfort, the Inexplicable, Ancient of Days, the One Who Bends Even
Kings, the One You Meet Everywhere, etc.Among many tribes, the creation of the Earth took four days. The
fifth day was reserved for worshipping the Orisha Nla (Chief of the
Deities), who actually created the Earth with the instruction and aid of
the Supreme Creator. The Orisha Nla was also given the task of creating
bodies out of clay. When this was complete the Supreme Creator secretly
placed the spark of life within the forms. These newly created humans were then placed on the Earth to live. The Gods and GoddessesAdroaOther
