Our African people continue to search through various means to please God. In our ignorance we worshipped God through mediums. The creatures instead of the Maker. We have used rivers, oceans, trees, old ancestors' beliefs passed down to the family. In spite of abject poverty we have reached out for help from witch doctors and evil spirits. Our initiation into the "spirit world" through animal or human sacrifices made our condition more hopeless.

There is good news as we listen to the Word of God. God has shown us a different way in being right in his sight...we are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in the same way, no matter who we are or what we have done. For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus who has freed us...Romans 3:21-26

When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time...God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God's judgment. For since we were restored to friendship with God by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be delivered from eternal punishment by His life. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God - all because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us in making us friends of God.
Romans 5:6-11.

Only in Jesus Christ we should have perfect harmony with God.
