There's people who thinks im possessed or something.
They're making a name for their country on how they showcase the talent there is. Style, glam, stage presentation, composition of songs, re-arrangents of hymn, vocal ability is out of this world
Before sharing it, it's worth noting that many of these teachings come from traditional African spiritual beliefs and practices. Different families, traditions, and healers may understand them differently.

These are traditional spiritual teachings that have been passed down through generations. They are meant to encourage reflection, respect for our ancestors, and care for our spiritual well-being.
1. Collect the spirit of your loved one.
In many African traditions, it is important to spiritually welcome the spirit of a loved one back home after they have passed away, even if they died in a hospital or far from home.
When this is not done according to one's tradition, some believe you may notice signs such as:
Never dreaming about your loved one.
Struggling to connect with them spiritually.
Dreams where they appear calling you, shouting, crying, or giving instructions.
These signs are often understood as a reminder that certain family rituals or acknowledgements may still need to be performed.
2. A child who continues to wet the bed deserves both medical and traditional attention.
If your child has reached an age where bedwetting continues, first seek medical advice to rule out any health concerns.
If no medical cause is found, some families also consult elders or traditional healers to determine whether a cultural ceremony, such as Imbeleko, may be needed according to their family customs.
Never ignore a child's cry for help, whether it is physical, emotional, or spiritual.
3. The Amanono (Spirit Children).
Among many traditional beliefs, the spirits of children are regarded as powerful because children are pure.
If you have experienced:
Miscarriage
Abortion
Ectopic pregnancy
Stillbirth
The loss of a baby at any stage
Some traditions teach that spiritual cleansing and acknowledgement may help bring peace to both the family and the child's spirit.
When left unresolved according to these beliefs, some people associate it with:
Difficulties in relationships.
Spiritual blockages and stagnation.
Challenges with conceiving.
Feeling disconnected from children.
Emotional heaviness that seems difficult to explain.
Remember, every child comes from both the mother's and father's bloodline. Healing and spiritual responsibility belong to both families.
4. Never stop praying.
Church is not only a building.
Your body is a temple.
Your heart is an altar.
Your prayers are heard wherever you are.
Whether you pray in church, at your ancestral shrine, or in the quietness of your room, never stop speaking to God and never neglect your spiritual path.
5. Be careful with blade cuts and inserted muthi (Umgcabo).
Not every traditional practice is suitable for every person.
Your blood is sacred.
Muthi is not one-size-fits-all, and according to many traditions, some medicines lose their spiritual and physical strength over time.
Always seek guidance from someone trustworthy, experienced, and ethical.
6. Cleanse yourself after sexual intimacy.
Sex is more than a physical act.
Many traditions teach that intimacy creates spiritual, emotional, and energetic connections.
Whether a person uses protection or not, emotional and spiritual bonds can still be formed.
If your tradition encourages spiritual cleansing after intimacy, honour those practices to restore your own spiritual balance.
7. Protect yourself before going to work.
The workplace is not only a place of employment.
It is also a place where you encounter different energies, intentions, jealousy, and spiritual influences.
Begin your day with prayer.
Protect your spirit.
Carry yourself with positive intentions, and if your tradition permits, use spiritual cleansing or protection practices as guided by your elders.
8. Respect the importance of surnames and family lineage.
In many African traditions, a surname represents far more than identity.
It carries ancestry, lineage, responsibility, and spiritual connection.

One of the biggest downfalls in life is not always witchcraft. It is not always a spiritual blockage. Sometimes, our own decisions become the very chains that hold us back.
Many people fall because of:
- Sex without wisdom.
- Drugs.
- Alcohol.
- Borrowing money to the wrong people.
- Bad company, including the wrong partner.
- Seeking attention and living for people's validation.
- Wasting time and not respecting other people's time.
- Poor communication, selective hearing, and carrying stories from one person to another until the truth is lost.
- "Monkey see, monkey do." Not everything that works for someone else is meant for you.
- Posting every blessing, every move, and every achievement on social media, making it easy for jealous eyes to monitor your life.
Remember, every decision has a consequence. The wrong choice today can become tomorrow's regret.
Stop blaming your ancestors for battles you created yourself. Stop calling everything witchcraft when your own habits are opening doors to failure. Your ancestors can guide you, but they will not force you to make wise choices. Wisdom is your responsibility.
Sometimes the greatest breakthrough doesn't come from another prayer or another consultation. It comes from changing your behaviour, choosing discipline over temptation, protecting your peace, and making better decisions.
Your choices can either build your future or destroy it.
