Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

One of the purposes of removing the slavery mindset from our people is to re-constitute order among the community. The lack of respect for authority, the dishonour that is meted out to those who the Lord places above us and the inability to work effectively together   makes for a difficult journey towards our promised place. Although our ancestors used the methodology of working behind the scenes as a survival mechanism, we as the inheritors of the new covenant and the blessing that goes with that, should now know better. However, unless we are delivered, that is our minds are renewed, we will perpetuate the propensity to challenge anyone in authority or seen as an authority figure.

Our forefathers developed the Ananci technique as a survival mechanism for dealing with the ravages that occurred under slavery. However, by introducing and releasing this Ananci spirit we enable it to permeate from generation to generation. What then are the main characteristics of this spirit? The individual operating under this aegis always tries to be cute. They are like double agents who tell their listeners what they want to hear. For example, they would gossip about their friends to you and vice versa, but would be all nice when all parties are together. This spirit causes confusion and only fuels bad blood. Once the individual is delivered, they will be taught that all those who are called to lead must do so from a position of service. The servant leader model is the model sanctioned and demonstrated by our Lord Jesus. And it is this spirit that Jesus wants to release among us.

We all must remember that most double agents get destroyed or killed. When people are working behind the scenes, scripture informs us that their deeds will eventually come to the light. So we have a decision to make, either we can continue to perpetuate the Ananci spirit or we can ask Jesus to fill us to over flowing with the precious Holy Spirit! The choice is yours. Read 2Timthy 3.
