@Osinachi_W The black man suffers from self hate. The black man will despise his fellow black for standing up against the whiteman oppressing the both of them simply because 'wetin him de feel like sef'.
I have to admit, I always wondered what this part of Psalm 23 meant. I thought โHe anoints my head with oilโ was figurative language for God keeping the Psalmist healthy. I never knew this parallel.
Anoint my head with oil
โSheep can get their head caught in briers and die trying to get untangled. There are horrid little flies that like to torment sheep by laying eggs in their nostrils which turn into worms and drive the sheep to beat their head against a rock, sometimes to death. Their ears and eyes are also susceptible to tormenting insects. So the shepherd anoints their whole head with oil. Then there is peace. That oil forms a barrier of protection against the evil that tries to destroy the sheep. Do you have times of mental torment? Do the worrisome thoughts invade your mind over and over? Do you beat your head against a wall trying to stop them? Have you ever asked God to anoint your head with oil? He has an endless supply! His oil protects and makes it possible for you to fix your heart, mind, and eyes on Him today and always! There is peace in the valley! May our good good Father anoint your head with oil today so that your cup overflows with blessings! God is good and He is faithful!!โ
I love that man from Galilee
For he has done so very much for me
He has forgiven me all my sins
And sent the Holy Ghost to me
I love the man of Galilee.๐ต๐ต
