as we seek freedom from oppression

The sin of oppression lasts for generations and grates God’s heart. God is a God of the oppressed. His heart is to see all his creation free, however this is not the intention of all of his creation. Some of them think that they have a God given right to inflict pain and misery on others because of certain physical traits that they inherited.  An example of this is the stratification that occurred in the Caribbean where I was born.

At certain stage in recent history people were placed in a certain position in society according to the hue of their skin. So we had about 13 different colours of people ranging from Negro (which is the Spanish word for black) through Octoroon, Mulatto and finally unto White. This grated God’s heart. It was not until the 20th century that people began to realise that it is not the colour of a man’s skin that defines him but the content of his heart.

Today God is saying those who are liberationist are on his side.

Read Proverbs 14.
