The founder of LoveWorld Incorporated, also known as Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has said that Africans must stop addressing themselves as blacks because the word black is given to anything evil.
Black Lives Matters is a movement that has gained a lot of traction all over the world after the death of an American citizen named George Floyd who was killed by some white policemen in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill.
In a sermon, Pastor Chris admonished the use of black to describe people from Africa. He also said that he still doesn’t understand why we refuse to be tagged with the name “Negro” or “Nigga” but accept when we are being tagged as blacks.
Read his message below:
“Maybe I should tell you something, those of you that say black lives matter, I feel sorry for you! Do you really believe you have a black life? Do you want me to read to you the meaning of black?”, he quizzed.
“Who called you black? Shouldn’t you have rejected that from the beginning? A contradiction, a bundle of contradiction. You refused negro and nigga… But that’s what black is. You took the English version.
“Negro means black. Do you know what black means… Have you ever seen black? Black means the absence of color, absence of good, absence of light,and absence of direction. These are the meaning of black. Black is not a color but the absence of colour.. like you are sick, don’t you understand it?
“It’s about time Africans say to themselves we are not black. STOP ALL THIS BLACK LIVES MATTER! Let no one call you black because you are not black… The definition of black is not good and they are using it to destroy you…
“When you keep calling yourself black… You mean light is absent, color is absent and you will never come to a place of light… You will be under… When God gives you a Prophetic instruction, it is important that you follow into the latter.”
