The Choice We All Face

The state of Negus

You probably already know the term for niggas came from the Ethiopian word for “king” which is “Negus” but if not, you know now! But that’s not the main issue of this post. 

Throughout history, we’ve been dealing with each other like we just niggas; ignorant, and not the like descendants of Negus and royalty. Not just in wealth, cause we quick to respect wealthy niggas no matter what they do to get it, but in how we live and treat each other, especially in our poverty. 

Sure we had a fall from grace. Many say we Native Americans or that we African, especially Egyptian. I beg to differ. Yes the natives were dark skinned, Africans still are. But just because we can trace our DNA mingled with these people says one thing; Israel survived by blending in.



Black ≠ Israel

Ezra 13 tells us how the northern tribes of Israel came over before Columbus and the trans-atlantic slave trades, but they weren’t the first here. The children of Ham were the aboriginals of America with many artifacts like pyramids, etc. similar to those found in Egypt still here today. But the Israelites, descendants of Shem? We too had our own land that’s not here. This is why natives got reparations while we still…nvm. Either way, we know the story, we shed Yahusha’s blood and got scattered.

Stuck to the code

Our people did what they always did, fled and blended in. Even Yahusha’s parents did it in Egypt. We ain’t new to this, we true to this. All the more reason why we spent the last decade blending in with America; at least trying to. They used to have to size us up, see how we move and talk to make distinctions, but this time Yah made sure we could be identified by the curses of Deuteronomy 28 and we look different. We dark, they light, easy prey.

“Unless we change how we look by mixing seed or taking on their ways, we’re blended and stuck. Even if you say, “let’s go back to Africa” or even worse “let’s go back to Israel,” other people still govern the land. This ain’t the righteous reign by no means, and their laws are to protect them as we roam their lands. ”

Integratin’ the Nation

This integration was tough to comprehend at first. Why would we want anything from our oppressors? Can’t we just make our own? Til I learned that’s exactly what we did, but they wouldn’t let us live in peace. Even after they erased our memories and sold our history back to us through religion, but that’s another story.

 

Here in America, integration got us helping them choose their king, going to war for them, letting them teach our kids, trusting them with our health, more importantly making a lil money to pay them for everything we want and need. But just like cancer, this way of living spread faster than THOT legs when everybody remembered who we were except us. Despite what we look like in our poverty, we still are those Negus according to Revelations 2:9, still royalty, still rich in spiritual and physical abundance. But no direction, no understanding, no righteousness keeps us in poverty; selling ourselves for basic needs.

 

Imagine a king:

  • Clothed in his royal gear

  • Pockets full of gold

  • Everything he needs around him

  • All he really gotta do is answer a few questions, shake a few hands, live righteously, lead battles

 

But one day, the lights go off in the palace so he looks out the window talking bout, “How they keeping they lights on? They got a job? I need to go get a job.” Crazy work right? But that’s literally the state we’ve come to, temporary fixes. Then go out our minds when the job is no longer there.

Wearing out the Saints

“Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.”

Matthew 6:31-33



Don’t get me wrong, we all struggle with this concept; responsibility. We feel the pressures of bills and the needs of our growing families. We see everybody else with jobs and how consistent their lives seem. We cringe at the thought of going without and not knowing a timeframe for when our situation will change, especially when they give you a 3-5 business day guarantee on an interview, your start date, or direct deposit. 

 

At least dealing with them you know what to expect right? But dealing with Yah, you just never know. This line of thinking is all by design and just a way to keep us backwards. We should actually be thinking the other way around, putting expectations in Yah and being skeptical of these payroll systems. 

 

We just don’t have the capacity to worry and do the will of Yah. When we attempt, we open ourselves to being just like our ancestors in the wilderness with Moses, and we see what happened to them. But honestly, these are the best opportunities to learn, to be truly grateful, find alternatives, build faith and even community. 

 

Instant Gratification

Yah is actually the same in that regard, even more direct. Usually changing lives right on the same day, opening doors in the same hour, even answering our call as soon as we ask; when we actually go to him. Might require some fasting and patience sometimes, but it’s not just a saying, prayer does change things. 

 

My own faith was checked on this when I was expecting a check from my job that still ain’t come. Did I give up? No, I’m still pressing them for that bread almost 6 mos later. But do I give Yah that same pressure when I’m expecting something? Eh.

 

There are too many instances of Israel seeking Yah for blessings, enough to reconsider if in these last days he would be calling us into job positions or company careers that he plans to destroy when he returns.

 

So why do we still do it? Why do we still want to blend in when we’ve been called to be set-apart?
