*My take: Africa’s way forward is _owning RESPONSIBILITY first,_ then _RESTRATEGIZING_ smartly.* Blame is emotionally satisfying, but it is strategically useless. Here’s why I think so: *1. Blame Produces Moral Comfort, Not Power* Blaming others—colonialism, slavery, globalization—may be historically grounded, but *it does not generate capacity*. It produces a *culture of grievance* rather than a *culture of competence.* Nations that rise do three things: - they *tell themselves the truth*, - they *absorb lessons ruthlessly*, - and they *adapt faster than their competitors*. *Blame freezes a people* in the past. *Strategy moves them* into the future. *2.

In fact, Church denominations arose from agreements and disagreements about differences in forms of Church government and traditional basis for doctrine and practice as well as organisational allegiance . Three main forms of Church governments or administrations adopted by Church denominations and somewhat or partially de...
* SACRED DOCTRINE OF THE STATE AND STATESMANSHIP * https://thechapelofgrace.com/biblical-conception-of-the-state-2.php TWO DOCTRINES OF THE STATE There are two political doctrines of the State and Statesmanship – an EVIL cruel DOCTRINE of Force with Intrigues, and the SACRED caring DOCTRINE of Justice with Integrity. Pro 14:34 Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Pro 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn. THREE FORMS OF THE STATE OR GOVERNMENTS FOUND AMONG THE NATIONS State or government authority, despite its various forms, is instituted by God for orderly governance in any human community of any extent, therefore every political office is divine ministry for good and justice. _“ T he authorities that exist have been INSTITUTED BY GOD. ”_ (Rom 13:1) _“ For he is the MINISTER OF GOD to you for good ”_...
