AMWS June 12,
2025, 1827 – 3 = 1824 days Alkebulan -- The National
Council of Churches marks the third of a 3-day action with the enduring question,
“Where do we go from here?”
At the same time,
members of the World Council of Churches are banking on the power of Pentecost for a miraculous global
shift from CHAOS to COMMUNITY. WCC’s gathering
in Alkebulan empowers
some 2.4 billion believers to make United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1
of 17 #MissionPossible with #BlackJesus.
The WCC mission
of peace and justice aligns with the African Union’s 2025 theme: “2025 Year of
Reparations—Justice for Africans and People of African Descent through
Reparations.”
The African Union’s 2025 Reparations Agenda
aims to address transatlantic slavery, colonial exploitation, and structural
underdevelopment. Faith and government leaders
have called for reparatory justice through global governance reform, debt
relief, climate action, and the return of looted heritage in partnership with
CARICOM and the recent focus of the United Nations Permanent Forum on People of
African Descent.
Fiduciary Trustees
for the Free African Society (FAS2) have called on the African Development Bank
to assist historically disadvantaged #HeirsOfSalvation
in developing Reparations Trusts for the benefit of qualifying youth. The call is not only for reflection but for
clarity, courage, and a strategic reframing of the reparations discourse and
reparatory justice vision. FAS2 FAITH FAMILY
TRUSTS is a replicable model to engage stakeholders in the African
Youth Charter.

9, 2025, 1827 – 1 = 1826 days Maseru, Lesotho -- If you missed Pentecost Sunday 2025, the
anointing of the Holy Spirit may have descended on somebody else’s familytrust.If you are a leader in the Historic Black Church, you may have influenced two or three followers of
#BlackJesus to deny their inherited value as #HeirsofSalvation in Christ.
Today, Generation
Alpha accountants are calculating the time you wasted as lost money.For them, #NoPoverty2030 is #MissionPossible with
#BlackJesus.
The Creator Spirit, whom we invoked in the motherland
– Tlo, Moya wa Mmopi – is the Spirit of the Free
African who descended upon Jesus as the quiet driving force of his mission:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me” (Lk 4:18).
The Kingdom
of indigenous Free Africans predates the introduction of Christianity to the
Basotho peoples also known as "San" which comes from the Khoekhoe language.
Sans means "foragers" and is used in a derogatory manner to describe
people too poor to have cattle.
Imagine being
a rightful heir to “cattle
on a thousand hills,” and growing up too poor to have cattle.The church in Lesotho began with the
establishment of the Lesotho Evangelical Church in
Southern Africa (LECSA) in 1833 by the Paris Evangelical
Missionary Society. The church received support from the local king and
developed under its protection. The first mission station was established in
Morija, and the church gained independence in 1964.
On Pentecost
Sunday, 2025, Holy Trinity African Methodist Episcopal Church declared
independence from poverty.The first of
100 Generation Alpha #HeirsOfSalvation is a named beneficiary of a replicable FAITH FAMILY TRUST to be
maintained at the African Development Bank.

AMWS, June
8, 2025, Maseru, Lesotho - The first of 100
Generation Alpha secret millionaires is celebrating the promise
of Pentecost today as the 27-member Holy Trinity African Methodist Episcopal
Church here declared United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1, #NoPoverty2030 #MissionPossible with #BlackJesus.
Yesterday, Generation
Alpha needed heat. In case you didn’t know,
it’s cold in Lesotho. Poverty in Lesotho
affects a significant portion of the population. 28% of the population live on
less than US$1.90 a day, while 50% live below the national poverty line. People
living in rural areas, women, and children are disproportionately affected. Despite
efforts to reduce poverty, it remains a challenge in the country.
Two or more #heirsofsalvation
believed #PrayerChangesThings. Fiduciary
trustees for the Free African Society (FAS2) are rising from bended knees, believing
their 1827 day social action could inspire meaningful reform for any of 2.4 billion followers of Jesus The
Christ.

April 18, 2025 – In the midst of chaos and confusion over
the future of the American family, there is good news from Mother Africa. Ka
TUMELO re lelapa: By faith, we are family.
Good Friday ends the Lenten Season for 2.4 billion heirs of salvation.
Each year, Jesus’
True Familycelebrates diversity, equity and inclusion (DEIty) over
a period starting Ash Wednesday and lasting for 40 days (excluding Sundays).
Select factions within The Black Church of Jesus The Christ
have invested wisely in things hoped for, while others frantically react to
perceived threats on their temporal existence.Meanwhile, the Black Family has been asked to believe “trouble don’t
last always” by religious leaders and government officials who deny #BlackJesus
as undisputable evidence of things not seen.
In the biblical context, “signs, wonders and miracles” refer
to divine indicators of God's power and presence. Approximately 37 phenomena are recorded in the
four Gospels of Jesus The Christ. These reports
of “miracles” justify one’s own belief of God's intervention in human affairs.
The Gospel of Mark, captured faithfully by John Mark acting
as Peter's scribe, records 18 miracles of Jesus. They include calming a storm,
feeding 5,000 plus women and children, walking on water, and cursing a fig
tree.
While Mark did understand Jesus as the Son of God, he
typically made sure that people understood his humanity as being a part of the
unique personhood of Jesus. “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” Then Jesus
looked at those sitting around him. He said, “Here are my mother and my
brothers!My true brother and sister and
mother are those who do the things God wants.”Ka TUMELO re lelapa: By faith, we are family.
Mark’s report on Family, included in the fourth of seven
last words of #BlackJesus, comforts the world’s historically disadvantaged.In this Word
of Abandonment,'Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?' -- which
means, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ Jesus was fully God and
fully human at the same time.He was not
some less powerful demigod as the Romans or Greeks would have understood. He had
and has the attributes of God and humanity fully expressed and fully powered.
Mark was believed to have been born in or around 5 AD in
Cyrene. Perhaps by coincidence, or family relation, Mark records at 15:21, the
role of another brother from Cyrene.
“There was a man from Cyrene coming from
the fields to the city. The man was Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus. The
soldiers forced Simon to carry the cross for Jesus.” According to the Coptic tradition,
Cyrene is a city in the Pentapolis of North Africa, which is now Libya.
Aristopolus was believed to be his father, and his mother’s home was believed
to be in Jerusalem, which served as a center for Christian life.
Aramaic is believed to have been the Afroasiatic language recorded at Matthew 27:46 and
Mark 15:34 when #BlackJesus cried out, “Eloi,
Eloi, lama sabachthani?”Semitic
languages are a branch of the Afroasiatic language family. They include Arabic,
Amharic, Tigrinya, Aramaic, Hebrew, Maltese, and numerous other ancient and
modern languages. These languages are spoken by more than 330 million people
across much of West Asia, North Africa, and parts of the Horn of Africa. Semitic
languages are divided into three major branches: East Semitic, West Semitic,
and South Semitic.
The
Semitic languages of Ethiopia are believed to have been influenced by a range
of Cushitic languages, and vice versa.
While the Chadic and Cushitic languages
are diverse and poorly studied, the Semitic languages have a more well-studied
history and are part of a wider linguistic family called Hamito-Semitic.
To understand the languages Jesus might have used on the
cross, it’s crucial to picture the linguistic melting pot that was
first-century Judea within a broader dynamic of “family migration” by Noah’s
sons Shem,
Ham and Japeth.
The primary languages in the region studied as Judea were:
Aramaic: This was the vernacular language, the
language of the people. It was the everyday tongue spoken in Galilee, where
Jesus grew up, and likely the language he used most often in his daily life.
Hebrew: While no longer the primary spoken language,
Hebrew remained the language of religious scholarship, the synagogue, and the
sacred scriptures. Educated individuals, especially those involved in religious
life, would have been familiar with it.
Greek: Following Alexander the Great’s conquests,
Greek had become the lingua franca of the eastern Mediterranean, the language
of commerce, administration, and higher education. Many people in Judea,
particularly those in urban areas, would have been able to understand and speak
Greek.
Latin: While less common, Latin was the language of
the Roman administration and the military. It’s plausible that some
individuals, particularly those who interacted with Roman officials, would have
had some knowledge of Latin.
Followers might note here, the number of languages natively
spoken in Africa is variously estimated at between 1,250 and 2,100, and by
some counts at over 3,000. In every
generation, the Free African must reclaim his or her own value.
Ka TUMELO re lelapa: By faith, we are family.
A kingdom that fights against itself cannot continue. And a
family that is divided cannot continue.And if Satan is against himself and fights against his own people, then
he cannot continue. And that is the end of Satan.
