I cried reading this part of the chapter. Grief took over me because some of these curses, I suffered too. Just to think that all we had to do is obey Him. Why are we so stubborn? Have we had enough yet? Are we going to change direction now and repent? Sonini Nanini’s grief shows how deep it is by the levels of punishment we suffered.
Pray This!
Please forgive your people Sonini Nanini. We need favor and your spirit in us to awaken. Please look at us again and put some sense in us. We are so destroyed, but we know we can be redeemed again. Forgive us the sins of our ancestors. We repent on behalf of our ancestors. Please forgive the inequities of the Bantu people. Remember your promises and covenants you made with our ancestors. Please concern your Heavenly resources to free your people in these foreign lands and in the Promised Land. Please show us your mighty hand and deliver us from all of our oppressors no matter how small or how big. Remember us Sonini Nanini. Remember the Bantu People, your Chosen People. The children of Yakobi and don’t let even the smallest seed perish. In Sonini Nanini’s Name we Pray Hallelula!
The Opposite Became True
The verses below sounds harsh, righ? Imagine living this life generation to generation. You know, I do believe His People are truly made differently, even at their DNA level, because how does one even survive the hardships we endured. For example, how did I survive living in poverty as a child in Rwanda when we literally did not have shoes, clean water, safe transportation, and live among tigers, snakes, and other animals? How did I survive a genocide, and living in a foreign land without family, etc…Even though Sonini Nanini has been angry with us, he truly still loves us and keeps us for His purposes and glory. These curses prove who His People are!! It is a SIGN that Sonini Nanini is real because His Words came to pass.
15 “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: 16 “Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country. 17 “Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. 18 “Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. 19 “Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
Deuteronomy 28:15-19
A Lifetime of Confusion and Destruction
You can truly see struggle when you look at the African Americans, Indians, and Latinos in this country. You see most of the people struggle to secure proper education, those who don’t end up in jail, end up in a job of a lower caliber. There is discrimination in jobs, housing, lending, and which school people of color can attend. I did not believe this because I thought I had some success, but as I am researching and re-learning the Bible, history, and science, I believe that systematic racism is a thing. His people are suffering from confusion and frankly tired from losing consistently. The level of what His people lost, is beyond comprehension. His People lived in frustration and despair and constant conflict. Imagine planting, working, starting a successful business, bearing children for someone else to enjoy. I can relate to so many of these curses unfortunately. For the longest time I did not understand why I was living a life of frustration. Now, everything makes sense.
20 “The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me. 38 “You shall carry much seed out to the field but gather little in, for the locust shall consume it. 39 You shall plant vineyards and tend them, but you shall neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. 40 You shall have olive trees throughout all your territory, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olives shall drop off. 45 “Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. 46 And they shall be upon you for a SIGN and a wonder, and on your descendants forever.

Sickness and Disease
Why is it to this day that Africa is only place where sickness and disease is prevalent? I remember as a child, I suffered with Malaria often. Why isn’t there Malaria in Europe and in America? Isn’t it interesting that Malaria claims so many lives in Africa, but somehow someway Europe eradicated the disease? How about the USA, is Malaria here too? According to this article also eradicated in 1950. So, tell me something, if having window screens is what helped get ride of it, why are African homes not have screens on them? Is it really that simple? Pesticides, and window screens is enough to get ride of this sickness, why is Africa not doing the same? Could there be more to this sickness? Can this sickness simply be a curse to our people?
21 The Lord will make the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess. 22 The Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword, with scorching, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish.
Even The Heavens Were Against Us?
Do the verses below have something to do with what they refer to as climate control? Or the chemicals they spray in the sky? How about the fact that there is a drought that has plagued African nations and other other parts of the world to date? What I am learning so far is that when the sun is hot and scorching, it changes the color of the skly watch this. At first I thought that if the soil is rich in iron, then you can’t grow anything in that soil. Ironically, iron, is really good and very needed to grow anything. What makes this curse so severe is that the soil was not cursed, but without proper rain, the iron in the soil was useless. Can you imagine? Sonini Nanini sparred the Land, animals, but He punished His People severely for their disobedience.
23 And your heavens which are over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you shall be iron. 24 The Lord will change the rain of your land to powder and dust; from the heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed.
Deuteronomy 28:23-24
Oppressed and Plundered Continually
I would be lying to you if this is not happening today. I was watching Megan and Harry documentary on Netflix. In the documentary, they talked about colonization and exploitation of many countries to this day under the disguise if commonwealth. If you take a close look, Africa is the only continent in the world, that is rich in resources, but still suffers hunger, and treatable diseases. Why is that? Could it be that The Chosen People, and The Promised Land is there? Additionally, which people and continent is continuously plundered by the West? Listen to that video and hear the pain in her voice. Moreover, I conclude that, Sub-Saharan Africa matches the definition of the land that flows with milk and honey. The land of my ancestors. The same ancestors cursed for 400 years! The good news is, the curse time finished in 2019! 2020 was a reset for a new era, hence why more and more people are waking up.
29 And you shall grope at noonday, as a blind man gropes in darkness; you shall not prosper in your ways; you shall be only oppressed and plundered continually, and no one shall save you. 33 A nation whom you have not known shall eat the fruit of your land and the produce of your labor, and you shall be only oppressed and crushed continually. 34 So you shall be driven mad because of the sight which your eyes see.
Other gods/Religion
I talk about religion a lot in my blog posts. Religion rubbed us of our spirituality. When Africans practice their spirituality rituals, they are called barbaric and evil, but here you see the jews doing the same ritual and its accepted. What does the verse below mean when it said, ” wood and stone”. Just a business logo most religion sectors have a representation. Christianity is represented by the cross/wood, while religion like muslin is represented by black stone. These two religions represent the majority of the world religions. I was just curious on how Islam started watch this. Additionally, false gods were made out of wood or stone. Please see my other posts about religion, and Catholicism.
64 “Then the Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you shall serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known—wood and stone.
Deuteronomy 28:64
Baal Worship
His Chosen People struggled because of the baal worship. Baal worship is still happening today! If you research this deity, you will quickly see that it is worshipped in all religions. If you read my articles about catholics are christians, and christians are catholics, you will quickly see how baal is worship to the extent that even the Bible was corrupted to worship baal. He is the sun god, fertility, and often called lord. Today’s offerings to baal is through abortion and other abominable rituals. In the church, the worship is calling Sonini Nanini wrong names, praying to the cross, and participating in rituals like communion. You don’t believe me?
