RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE – THAT’S THE ALTERNATIVE CULTURE
Christianity For Africans

This message came about after reading an article promoting an Alternative Culture for Africans. A link to the article is added below for those who may not have read it. This Alternative Culture was explained as living in the space of “doing the right thing” and “doing the right thing the right way”.

An Alternative Culture is exactly what Jesus leads His people into. Those who are true Christians have a new nature: so new desires and new behaviours. They have gotten rid of the “old man” by merging their will and their will power with Christ. Their life is no longer about self, self-gain, and self-preservation. They no longer live for money, prosperity, and popularity. A true Christian knows he is a Pilgrim and so he knows that he is on a MISSION for Christ: to be salt (that preserves from going rotten) and to be light (that guides in the path of righteousness).

When it comes to corruption and wrongdoing our late American and Christian brother Rev Martin Luther King was right when he said: “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” Africa is known as the most corrupt place on earth, that means its inhabitants, ie Africans, are the most corrupt people on earth because we either do corrupt acts, or watch corruption/wrongdoing being done without challenging it or trying to stop it. We do not like to hear that we are the most corrupt continent on earth, but we can change things by living our lives following the way of the Alternative Culture.

Our Saviour says the same to us: “Submit yourselves, then, to God. RESIST the devil, and he will flee from you”. (James 4: 7). God makes it clear that those He will accept are to RESIST THE DEVIL and not give in to wrongdoing and corruption. That means the true Christian is to “do the right thing” and “do the right thing the right way” – which is what the Alternative Culture is about.

The African Christian of all people in Africa, should be living out and championing the Alternative Culture because he is a new creation in Christ. It is his mission in life to be God’s light in all he says and does. Being corrupt and corrupting is not his portion. That is for those for whom the devil is father (see John 8: 44).

Righteousness exalts a nation (Proverbs 14: 34). And is righteousness not “doing the right thing” and “doing the right thing the right way”? Which is exactly what the Alternative Culture is about! African Christian, does not the corruption and wrongdoing that is everywhere in Africa make a mockery of our profession of being good people? God is the One to Whom we must give account (Hebrews 4: 13). If you are corrupt and corrupting you are destroying your own soul. But, if you choose the Alternative Culture of “doing the right thing” and “doing the right thing the right way”, which is righteousness, then you have chosen life, and God will give you life and even eternal life. Amen.
