There is an important secondary audience of the From Slavery To Victory: One Man’s Journey (FSTVOMJ) Radio Special.1 It is Americans of European descent that profess to be God’s people as Christians. For truly, there would be no such thing as black American history if it were not for the imperialist European nations that competitively made their way to Africa with Christian missionaries and items to trade beginning with the Portuguese in the 15th century.2 It was not long before the black natives of the continent as slaves became part of the commodities these nations took back to their home ports and colonial holdings in what was called a New World and included North America.
In the fully blown slave trade that eventually developed, the European spawned colonies in the land destined to become the United States of America became a prime destination. As Ruler over the nations, all that was taking place and later unfolded was under the watchful “eyes” of God in His permissive will who works it in and rules over the affairs and kingdoms of men (Job 12:7-25; Psalms 22:28, 66:7, 103:19; Daniel 2:20-21, 4:1-3, 17, 24-26, 34-35; Amos 9:8, NKJV)! Surely then, the kingdoms of Europe operated with the foreknowledge and permission of God and as agents of His will though, it was not entirely perceived by them or their envoys that explored the lands beyond.
Still, as the Lord led me to assert in FSTVOMJ there was at least a superficial sense of heavenly sanction some had who at first brought Catholic, then later, Protestant missionaries to preach the Gospel to the peoples they encountered and establish churches throughout the newly discovered lands. Shortly thereafter, however, friendly trade and negotiation with the indigenous peoples including my West African forefathers gave way to conquest by superior force of arms which God had not put into their hearts, but Satan as they were driven by a lust for territory and wealth they could just conquer and take respectively (Ezekiel 28:11-19; 1 Timothy 6:6-10; Revelation 6:1-2).
Though the Most High had not put it into the hearts of European conquerors to begin violently conquering the lands they came upon and plundering the peoples including taking slaves as with those of Africa, He nevertheless used this too, within the limits of His permissive will. For their actions continued to fulfill His purposes of judgment upon all the nations of the earth beginning with Israel He had announced over two millennia earlier (Jeremiah 25:1-33, 27:1-11; Zephaniah 2:4-3:7).3 The cruelty of Europe’s kingdoms in their conquests that more than a millennium had professed such adherence to Christianity was only surpassed by many of their settled in colonists toward their slaves.
Starting at Jamestown, VA in 1619, a small number of Africans were first brought to this land and sold as indentured servants. Later, most with their progeny and newly brought slaves became chattel.4 Among the colonists of Great Britain’s thirteen colonies nearly all would have claimed to be Christians; a number in the New World ostensibly to more freely and fully practice their biblically rooted faith. Yet, the harsh, violent, oppressive and immoral treatment of their chattel by the many guilty white professed Christians can nowhere be found sanctioned by God in an objective reading of the Bible nor the racial bigotry and discrimination historically practiced with minorities of all hues.5
All such ill-treatment of minorities by white professed Christians that are guilty indicates willful disobedience at best; the fraudulence characteristic of impostors and Christianity as the counterfeit religion of men at worst.6 Indeed, if the world was to know Christians were Christ’s disciples by “love for one another,” then, American Christianity beginning from colonial times with how the many guilty white skinned professed Christians mistreated those of black and other minority skin hues as well as the Jews they labored to convert to the faith has failed miserably to the great displeasure of the Lord (John 13:34-35, NKJV).7 Moreover, through repeated practice with the unsaved over four centuries racial bigotry and discrimination are in fact systemic. This is sin and a great evil not to be minimized!
For this cause and all of the same kinds of wickedness the Lord had me cry out against among professed Christian black Americans thirty years later, our nation among the agents of Europe He once entrusted to preach the Gospel to make disciples of other nations, baptize and teach them His Word along with dispense His judgment are about to be severely judged. This is as it was with every nation He ever used to punish Israel or in the main, where is mighty Egypt, Babylon and Assyria (Jeremiah 46:1-26, 50-51; Nahum 2:8-3:19)? Not Russia or China, but the living God who repeatedly sends destructive calamities as correction is to be the nation’s priority concern led out by professed Christians who proudly now, will not receive it, seek Him or repent (Isaiah 1:1-6; Amos 4:6-5:15)!8

7 Seeking zealously to please the Lord and do His will, no aspiring strong man or great woman of God in the image of Christ can be comfortable an extended time with disobe- dience to His command for Christians to love each other harboring attitudes of racial superiority or any animosity toward a brother in Him (Colossians 3:12-15). This reality is as the Lord leads me to write about in my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics. It is available in the Strong Man Store, among internet booksellers and brick and mortar bookstores.
