“Oh how I love you, Africa! You may be looked down on, despised, but in My eyes you carry so much value! That is because I made you, and everything that I make is precious. So lift up your head! And come back to your first love! Come back to Me! If you repent of your iniquity, I will make you the light of the nations. My Glory will shine on you and everyone who looks at you will see Me. I have not forgotten you, and I love you.” —Jesus
“I have this against you: that you have left your first love.” (Revelation 2:4)
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)
The Story Behind The Painting:
I felt the Spirit of God nudging in my spirit to paint. So I sat and I started painting what I first thought would be an abstract painting. But on the last layer, I could see two shapes that looked like a lion and a lamb. God finally put on my heart that the painting was a message from Him to Africa. The jungle and the farm are the pride and the DNA of Africa, they represent everything that is pure and not stained by the coldness that technology has spread over the Western countries. But Africa has forgotten the source of its uniqueness. This painting is an invitation from The Lord to Africa, to come back to Him. He is not the God of the White, He is the God of all.
