2nd Annual BOYCOTT THE HOLIDAYS campaign

It's time for the 2nd Annual BOYCOTT THE HOLIDAYS campaign. As with any revolutionary idea, last year met with a little contention, but we hope that the past twelve months have shown the community that this idea makes sense. Last year the U.S. consumers gave corporations $584.3 billion dollars (U.S. consumer holiday spending (2010)). We have allowed corporations turn a pagan holiday into the "Birthday" of Jesus in order to make money to close out their fiscal year.


St. Nicholas and "Black Peter"
There are a lot of people who celebrate the Christmas Holiday around the world. Depending upon where you are, they could have “Black Pete’s” delivering presents or Santa Claus (St. Nicholas) delivering the presents to the children. Most of the people that celebrate this Holiday attribute it to the birth of Jesus Christ and they gather with their families and friends over those couple of days Eve/Day and exchange gifts and enjoy feasts. From Black Friday to New Years Eve (end of fiscal year) we are bombarded with advertisements by corporations who try to put us in the "Christmas spirit" which equals purchasing goods from them. Recently some have stopped trying to hide their intentions and took the Christ out of it all together and just started referring to it as X-mas.


Santa Claus
Last year we showed that Christmas is no where in the bible, was not Christs birthday and was actually a pagan observance (Jer. 10:1-5). This year the focus is going to be on all of the things we can achieve by BOYCOTTING THE HOLIDAYS instead of handing over our money to corporations.

There are so many things that we can do on our own that has nothing to do with the powers that run the world right now. We are waiting for them to save the planet by changing over to environmentally friendly ways to live when we have the power to do it ourselves. We say we don't have money to implement these plans but we do. The cost to build an eco-city is in the range of $22 billion (US) dollars for the Masdar eco-city to $77 billion (US) dollars for Emerald city concept cities. China has teamed up with Singapore to build Tianjin (eco-city), so we know it can be done. The question is why do we have to wait for corporations and governments to do it when we have the money ourselves? We know that in six weeks we give corporations almost $600 billion dollars just for presents. That's not including our regular expenses such as gas, electric, food and other recurring expenses that we have. Those numbers don't consider our worldwide community either, so if we add those numbers to the half a trillion dollars of the U.S., we're talking a lot of money.

Everyone knows that education is very important and though our governments can't give money to educate us, they have no limit to the amount of money to wage wars. Sticking with the U.S., last year the U.S. invested $77.8 billion (US) dollars on education. By contrast, in 2010 the U.S. invested $663.8 billion (US) dollars on the military. Money goes where the priorities are and we can see that educating the people isn't a priority for the U.S. government. It should be our priority, and if we didn't give $584.3 billion (US) dollars away to corporations in a 6 week period over the holidays, we could take charge of our own educations. Remember, these are just U.S. figures. Imagine all of the innovative ways that we could teach our children along with making sure our teachers were paid for their value. Do you think that teaching would be a profession that people would want to join if we took control of our own educations?
Christmas shoppers

We should also consider the fact that these powerful banks and corporations can't exist unless we give them our money. We gave the corporations $15.171236 trillion (US) dollars last year world wide. Why should we continue to feed the beast? That is a soft spot in the armor of the dragon, they need us but we don't need them. Mankind was doing well without banks and corporations and we will do better after they are gone. There will be a transition just like any dependency and yes we are dependent to these entities. Think of all the pain and suffering around the world because of corporations. All of the children in Africa working in mineral and gold mines for corporations. All of the people in Asia and Central and South America slaving for pennies to make products that corporations sell to everyone else at overinflated prices. The way the corporations take pensions and underpay their workers so the executives and shareholders can accumulate massive amounts of wealth. Why should we continue to contribute to our own conditions by supporting these entities? Especially during a season that we know has nothing to do with Jesus?

IT WAS WRITTEN:
Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. Jeremiah 10:1-5
Christmas tree and discount signs meet shoppers.


IT WAS WRITTEN:
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. JESUS/Luke 17:20,21
We have the power to change our condition, so do you think God is not with us in our effort? There is absolutely nothing wrong with not celebrating an old Babylonian custom and coming in compliance with our Father. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using the money that we give to corporations to build a better life for ourselves. With that in mind, we need everyone to share with as many people and groups as possible and get the word out. Let's not just Occupy Wall Street, let's boycott them. We can start by BOYCOTTING THE HOLIDAYS.

THE HIDDEN TRUTH: The history of Jews in Africa

The information on this link provides outstanding information on the trek of our families from Eastern Africa to Western Africa and Spain. It also highlights the life of Dehiyya al-Kahena the Queen of Africa who was a real life "super" hero. It's a shame that while people create movie heroes, we have a real hero that was not only a woman but was one of our ancestors. This information shows the respect that women had in our societies and goes against what we've been taught about ourselves all the way around. We understand that our nation is greater than just the tribes of Judah(Judah/Benjamin/Levi), but since we are all family, everyone should take pride in this history.

The Corporation (Documentary)


Whether we know it or not, corporations play a major role in all of our lives. Most of us receive our news from corporations, work for corporations, receive healthcare from corporations, are fed by corporations, etc. If corporations have that much influence in our lives, shouldn't we know more about them? Here's a great expose on the corporation, please take the time to look at both parts, it's very informative.

THE HIDDEN TRUTH: JESUS is not GOD


There was a recent discussion about JESUS where a few questions were raised. All of them were good and were answered according to what was written by our ancestors and we will share them with you. The first question was whether JESUS is GOD.
There are many misconceptions throughout the Christian religion about who Jesus actually was. The first misconception is that Jesus is God. This is an incorrect assumption and is believed among many because of religious teachings. We can verify through many scriptures that Jesus and God are two different beings. The first is found in the book of Daniel and it clearly shows that he is not God. Daniel, who lived before JESUS, saw JESUS after he was resurrected and wrote about what he saw. Daniel referred to God as the Ancient of Days and Jesus as the Son of Man..
IT WAS WRITTEN:
Daniel 7:13,14
13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
 14And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Jesus also made the distinction between himself and God (The Father) and referred to himself as the Son of Man.

IT WAS WRITTEN:

JESUS/John 8:28,29
28Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
 29And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

Our brother Paul wrote about Jesus being acknowledged as the Son of God in the book of Romans and also made the distinction between Father and Son in his writings.

IT WAS WRITTEN:

Paul/Romans 1:1-7
 1Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
 2(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
 3Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
 4And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
 5By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
 6Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
 7To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

These are a few of many writings by our ancestors that give us the understanding that Jesus and God are two different beings, but also that religions have taught contrary to our ancestor’s writings. The belief of God coming to earth as a man goes all the way back to Babylon and is part of the Pagan or false god teachings that our nation has always been taught not to follow. This was covered during the “Holiday Season” as one of the reasons why we shouldn’t celebrate the Babylonian/Pagan holiday known today as Christmas. So here’s a few scriptures that should give understanding to those who were taught that JESUS was God, and we hoped they helped. We will cover the other topics in the weeks to come.

PROJECT UPDATES: Kenya trip update



Here’s a brief update on our volunteer trip to help the Gods Vision for Africa schools in Kenya.  The trip has been moved to December 6th to December 24th 2011 because this will be a more convenient time for all who may participate. This is a time of year where more people have time and money to travel.  We would also like to take supplies to the Dadaab refugee camp to help those who are caught in the famine. We are looking into how feasible it would be for us to work that into the trip, but we would love suggestions on what would be of help to those who are there. A couple of suggestions are seeds and clothes, but if there are any other suggestions, they are appreciated.
 If you are interested in participating contact our trip coordinator, Jessica C. at Thecoginfo@gmail.com for more details.

THE HIDDEN TRUTH: Making the Case for Jesus Christ

PART 1: A man that walked the earth


If there is any mans example that we should follow it should be Jesus Christ. We would like to point out a liberating fact from the outset that should bring much understanding to some. Jesus Christ has already lived and died, when he returns, everyone will know, there won't be any mistaking it. (It was written). Until that day that is written comes and He gives out the Crowns, we are all the same and should operate as such. "Love thy neighbor as thyself". Many things have been done in the name of Jesus and some of these things have been wicked. The wickedness done in the name of Jesus Christ has had a two-fold affect, both victimizing and turning away those who his message and example were meant for. There in lies the wickedness behind the confusion of taking someone’s culture. As WE all know, the truth eventually comes out, therefore in that mindset we will make our case for Jesus Christ.

Jesus had an earthly father (Joseph), mother (Mary), and he had brothers and sisters. (James, Joses, Simon, Judas) Mary only had Jesus as a child so we can get a picture of the family and extended family structure that existed at that time. It is similar to today in many ways, but today we call our siblings “step” or “half” brothers and sisters. His generation had plans for termination set forth against them too by the powers of the time (Ancient Roman Empire). Jesus spent a lot of his early days because of that threat with his family “down south” in Egypt. He was a workingman by profession, which called for one to be very strong and skilled. The neighborhood he came from was Nazareth, which would be considered the ghettos ghetto, and even in the “Israel” of that time, was considered a tough place to be from.

Even though he was born and raised in similar conditions as a lot of us today, he did not fall victim to the traps that we have fallen into under those circumstances. He did the contrary and showed us by example that it was possible to live a thorough life and be a good person in a bad place. And by doing so, he took away human kinds excuse of falling short of our potential. There has been a lot of debate about who he was, how he died or if he rose from the dead, but there is no debate about whether he was a thorough individual or any debate about whether he sinned or not. So as a man that has walked the earth, who else can claim that?

Most importantly, he gave us the Universal Wisdom of “Love thy neighbor as thyself”. He also showed us how to organize on a grassroots level for change. Today, Jesus would be considered “militant/extremist”, and if there were equivalent pictures of him and his comrades today, they would probably look pretty ominous, when painted in a certain light. It was enough to get him executed. He was looked on as a rebel for challenging the corrupt power structure, not only of our nation, but also of the world. He showed us that we could form a society without any "Masters" over us. That’s the freedom that he spoke about in his messages, and that’s what ultimately got him executed. The prophetic reasons why he was executed will be covered in later parts.

There are no pictures or video or audio recordings of Jesus. There was no Internet, television, planes, satellites, or anything else to get the message out during that time. If there were those capabilities it would still be like someone from Freetown Sierra Leone having a voice over the Western power structure. (He did it!)) His voice and most importantly actions influenced the fall of that mighty empire and have lasted far beyond it. So how can this black man who was tried, convicted, and executed for blasphemy (wicked liar), in a rundown Roman outpost (Israel) have so much influence on humanity for all of this time? Every great man since has shown some kind of trait that Jesus commanded us to display. We cannot be him but the point is to try to be like him in our own God given way. If there were any man on earth that is more worthy then Jesus Christ to follow from the aspect of a Human that ever walked the earth, please let it be known?

THIS IS NOT JESUS! This is what a Jew (Judah) in Israel would've looked like at the time of Jesus Christ, who was himself a Jew(Judah).

EXODUS series: Panama

EXODUS series:Panama

Relocating is an important decision, but it is highly recommended for those who want to improve their quality of life. Believe it or not, the United States is on the brink of collapse, and if that happens, where will you go? The third world countries are looking like a very good alternative for those who don't want to get caught in the chaos of falling empires.

Panama was the first country to be highlighted in our EXODUS series because it is easy to get to by land from anywhere in the Western hemisphere, and of course it has a canal. Panama is known for it's low cost of living, the deals that U.S. retirees have waiting for them, and the central location in the western hemisphere. The easy moving accommodations, tax breaks and stability makes this a great place to relocate for those who are of retirement age along with any extended family. Panama is ranked in the top two in the world by International Living for places to retire, and we recommend that people give it serious consideration. Please do  your own independent research and if there's anything that someone finds, please share the information.

 

Moving to Panama
















 Sample real estate in Panama

Panama may not be for everyone, but it can be a good location for those who are older and can take advantage of the deals.  For those who can’t believe that empires can fall right now, please remember this place when that day comes if you think there is nowhere else to go.

Charity Spotlight: Gods Vision for Africa schools


Recently we had the pleasure of interviewing a fellow Child of God and Executive Director of Gods Vision for Africa, Calvin Masitsa. He runs three schools in Nairobi, Kenya for the needy children there. We’ve known Calvin for awhile, and he is one of the most humble, hard working, and devoted people that we’ve run across. We are dedicated to helping these students in whatever way we can. These students and this school are worthy of all the support they can get.

INTERVIEW
The Children of God: Can you tell us a little bit about Gods Vision for Africa?
Calvin: GVA Kenya has 3 schools that are serving under-privileged children in urban slums of Nairobi. In total we are serving close to 700 children from this urban set up. The schools are City Shine school, Maximum Impact Centre and Glorious Destiny Centre. I am the Executive Director of GVA-Kenya which is the governing body of all our schools and other projects and programs within the organization. I am charged with the responsibility of overseeing all the projects and programs of GVA and for seeking and creating new partnerships and donor funding opportunities
The Children of God: How long has "GVA" been serving the under-privileged of Nairobi?
Calvin: We've been serving needy children and their communities for 4 years now and 2011 will make our 5th year in service.
The Children of God: That's outstanding. What made you want to pursue this career?
Calvin: I must confess that it’s my heart that gave me the drive to pursue community development. I was once teacher some years back working in school within slums and I once met a young boy who was HIV/AIDS positive and he had just lost his mother. The father was a drunkard and didn't care about his son's FATE. I therefore decided to take on the responsibility of paying his school fees and meet any other expense at school. Unfortunately the father took the boy to the village and I couldn't do anything. This truly charged me and I therefore decided to start my organization that is still healing hundreds to date.
The Children of God: Spoken like a true Child of God. We know it's hard to teach children when they are in need of basic necessities. What are some of the challenges you see for the students you teach?
Calvin: There're a couple of challenges in executing our work here. To begin with: Most of the students emanate from poor families and their parents cannot afford to pay school fees thereafter leading to some of them being discontinued from attending school. Secondly, Majority of the children here are faced with hunger at times for two days without having any meal which creates a deadlock making the children lose concentration in class. Thirdly, 10% of these kids are suffering from different ailment like HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Pneumonia and many other dreadful diseases. It’s the inadequacy of relevant learning material like textbooks, exercise books, pens, pencils and library books. For instance, you find a student using one exercise book to cover three subjects, which really affects their overall academic performance.
The Children of God: Wow, those are some daunting challenges. Does the government provide any assistance to the students who face those challenges?
Calvin: As far as I am concerned the Kenyan government has the framework in place to help these children through bursaries unfortunately the system is full of bureaucracy and corrupt individuals who want to be bribed before they assist you. Truly speaking there's no assistance received from the government towards these children.
The Children of God: That's a shame. Is the school able to provide assistance to the children, if so, how do you find it?
Calvin: YES we are. We have different programs in which we involve volunteers and partners from around the world to contribute towards helping needy children. A good example is our sponsorship program which is giving students wings to fly and not helping them to fly through this program we link up a needy child with a foster parent who supports the child all along his/her education.
The Children of God: How much does it cost to sponsor a child?
Calvin: It costs 60 dollars a month to sponsor a child. This makes it possible for the student to receive meals, books, pay schools fees, get a new school uniforms, shoes and even regular clothes
The Children of God: Do foster parents come from around the world and do they communicate with the children or their parents?
Calvin: Yes. Foster Parents are from different parts of the world. In addition they do frequently converse through written letters between the child and the parent. They also make beautiful, colored drawings and they're sent to their foster parents in whichever part of the world they are in.
The Children of God: That's great, those are some real unsung heroes. How would someone who's interested in becoming a foster parent for a student go about doing so?
Calvin: He/she should write to our public relations officer through the contacts on our website and fill out our registration form online then we will send him/her the name of the students and details if he/she is interested in a male/Female student; the choice is his/hers
The Children of God: Sounds great, I see you have a new drive going on for feminine hygiene products for the girls, can you tell us about that?
Calvin: Yes. In the recent past we discovered that most girls absented themselves from school for days and when they reported back to school they were punished for not attending school, as it is the norm. But we sought to find out what the problem was; shockingly the female teachers and our staff reported that the girls were at home since they were passing through their menstruation periods and that they didn't have sanitary pads/towels to ease themselves from the same. This leads them to using unhygienic materials during their menstruation, exposing themselves to all sorts of infections. Some of the unhygienic materials include tissue papers, pieces of old bed sheet, old clothes, old panties, old kangas and a crude assortment of fabrics. The program aims at helping young and even elderly girls at this stages we bring and pool resources together to purchase this sanitary towels for this girls and it isn’t an easy task because we are faced with financial intricacies to facilitate for all the girls to be receiving the towels/pads every month

The Children of God: Wow, that's very unfortunate. How would someone go about helping this cause?
Calvin: Our Box number is P.O. Box 469-00518,Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa Tel: +254733279367
The Children of God: Thanks for the information, I'm sure you'll get a lot of support. How are the children progressing in school this year?
Calvin: Ohhh...They're doing very good and there performance is augmenting every semester we want to meet their needs and give them the room to excel and do much better
The Children of God: That's great. Do you keep up with the children once they've graduated?
Calvin: Yes we do. We stay in contact with them through their parents their parents provide us with data on how they are progressing
The Children of God: Do you know of any success stories?
Calvin: Yes... There're a couple of them that have gone through our system and have made it. One young man called Tobias Owino was a high school student and he was enriched with business skills while at our centre and after his graduation he is now a young businessman with a medium sized Shop doing excellently in his soda business
The Children of God: Outstanding. What is the hope that you have for the students who go through your schools?
Calvin: I have hope that their future is bright and very colorful. They might have or go through the problems and intricacies of this world but finally they will and must make it in life.
The Children of God: What is your hope for Gods Vision for Africa schools?
Calvin: To provide effective humanitarian assistance to the needy in our schools and later on expand across the country and also across the continent of Africa
The Children of God: Outstanding. What impact do you think a proper education and basic necessities will have on the children and the continent?
Calvin: Three words describe can answer that: a " poverty free Africa"
The Children of God: Brilliant! Well Calvin, thanks for the interview, it was very informative. We will keep everyone updated on the progress Gods Vision for Africa is making and I'm sure you'll get the support that you need for the students to succeed. We look forward to working with you going forward. God Bless
We can help the girls at the schools by sending feminine hygiene products to Gods Vision for Africas address or sending a donation to them. If you would like to adopt a student, you can contact them as well.  Also, for those who live in Nairobi and would like to help these children, please feel free to contact Calvin at Gods Vision for Africa. If there is a school in your area that is in need of support, please contact us at thechildrenofgod@ymail.com. Let’s show some love, if not us, then who?

How to build wind turbines



This is another tutorial that will help us to gain independence from the energy corporations and prepare for the times to come. Creating electricity from the power of the wind combined with solar energy will provide any structure with more than enough energy. Just like we did with the solar power tutorial, we've provided the inexpensive way to make wind turbines along with a way to purchase wind turbines as well. We also provided information on battery banks and this can be used for both solar and wind power for your homes.
