Pentecostal Christianity Is a Response to Africa’s Poverty
12 Years, Countless Sermons, and One Obvious Conclusion!
Most of the religion in Africa, particularly Pentecostal Christianity, is, in reality, just a reaction to extreme poverty.
The more the poverty is eased, the less the sub-Saharan Africans are religious.
The more the suffering increases the more churchy they get.
You see this play out most when Black Africans relocate to Europe and America and get access to jobs, housing, healthcare, stable electricity, and public transport. Once this happens, their dependency on religion begins to wane.
The only exceptions would be adherents of religions or denominations with African roots, such as Ifa practitioners or White Garment churches.
What Africa needs is not religion. They need good governance.
Sadly, this is very difficult as they do not see that. If you look at all colonized countries, the ones thriving today are those who rejected the colonizer’s religions but accepted their science.
That is what China, India, and Vietnam did.
But look at Black Africa.
There is a Christian Bible in almost every single language in Africa.
But since you were born, have you ever seen a science textbook in Hausa, Yoruba, Zulu or Xhosa?
Meanwhile, please fact-check me: Bibles are restricted in China. You can be jailed if you preach on the streets of China and hand out Bibles.
However, science textbooks are translated into every major language in China.
No wonder China is paying while Africa is praying!
