Seven Things God Hates
1. Arrogance and pride
2. Lying
3. Murdering
4. Plotting evil
5. Eagerness to do wrong
6. A false witness
7. Sowing discord,dissension and conflict
Proverbs 6:16-19 -
Here are six things God hates, and one more that he loathes with a passion: eyes that are arrogant, a tongue that lies, hands that murder the innocent, a heart that hatches evil plots, feet that race down a wicked track, a mouth that lies under oath, a troublemaker in the family.

We as Christians should always be satisfied with whatever little we may have. For if we do this, then God will bless us, thus multiplying what little we have. For God always provides for us in abundance.
1. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ can take something, and multiply it several times.

2. There is no task, that is too great for God.

3. We should always ask God for His blessings, before we undertake any task.

4. It is God, Who fills all things.

5. Before we eat or drink food, we should offer it to God first.

6. We as Christians should be frugal.

Please understand this very valuable lesson.

1. Read about yourself. Read articles, essays, books about racism, racial inequality and the root causes of racial violence. Educate yourself and others about the connections between larger social forces and the issue of white privilege.
2. Understand how your own attitudes and actions perpetuate racism, racial violence and racial oppression. Examples of racism are:
• Prejudging a person’s character because of the color of their skin.
• Being unaffected by the poverty that one third of blacks live with daily.
• Pretending that you worked hard for your possessions and blacks are lazy.
• Acknowledging that the United States is a democracy that provides equal opportunity to all.
3. Confront all bigoted remarks or jokes. Boycott racism in all its forms.
4. Recognize all forms of oppression and speak out against all injustices. Discrimination against blacks is a key way in which we’re all confined into segregated education and housing.
5. Don’t fund racism. Don’t purchase any magazine, rent any video or buy any piece of music that portrays blacks in a degrading manner while espousing white privilege and white supremacy. Protest racism in the media.
6. Support candidates for political office who are committed to the full social, economic and political equality of blacks. Actively oppose candidates who are not.
7. Support and fight for increased state and federal funding for impoverished black communities. Reparations are good, just and a must.
8. Support or propose curriculum changes, at every level of the educational system, which mandate courses and programs dealing with racism, racial oppression and racial violence.
9. Organize or join a group that fights for reparations and an end to white privilege.
10. Support those who fight for racial equality.

DETOX
1. Admit that we are not powerless over self-hatred, racism and white supremacy thinking, but our lives have become unmanageable.
2. We have come to believe that a power within ourselves can restore us to sanity.
3. We have made a decision to turn our will and lives over to the care of the Higher Power within ourselves and without.
4. We shall make a searching and fearless moral inventory.
5. Admit to God (Jah) within and without ourselves the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. We are entirely ready to have God (Jah) remove defects of character.
7. We humbly ask God to remove our shortcomings.
8. Make a list of all Africans and others we have harmed.
9. Make direct amends to such people.
10. Continue to take personal inventory.
11. Seek through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with
God (Jah).
12. Carry the message to the Pan African world and other humans in the
global village.
13. Discover Pan African consciousness and join the cultural revolution.

Ten Virtues of Ethiopian Science, Ten Commandments, and Thirty Steps to Divine Ascent

Note: Words of H.I.M. Haile Sellassie I in quotations.

I. WISDOM: Control of one’s thoughts, the attainment of light and the life of reason. Keeping your mind stayed on Jesus (Eeyesus). “It is unity of mind and thought, creative utterance and pure intelligence and achieved only when one passes through all the stages of education. Education is an aid to assist you to distinguish between good and evil, between the harmful and the useful.” Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Renounce the world, detach and exile oneself from the cares of the world.

II. TEMPERANCE: Control of one’s actions. Doing His Will. The ability to maintain judgment weighed on fair ground. It is the ability to maintain mean and avoidance of excess, i.e., moderation and pure thinking. “One must give full consideration to the consequences of his actions” and have complete control of the passional nature, i.e., emotions, love, rage, anger and sexual desire. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Obedience to the will of Jah, penitence and remembrance of death are necessary.

III. STEADFASTNESS: Devotion of purpose. Worship HIM. “Education should improve one’s ideas and standard of living. An honest and persistent quest for truth will contribute to the knowledge of society and mankind.” Identify with a spiritual life or the higher ideals and “devote your skills, knowledge, thoughts and attention to the perfection of the task at hand.” Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy. Be sorrowful for your sins and attain freedom from anger and malice.

IV. FIDELITY: Faith in the ability of one’s master teacher to teach the truth. Seek and you will find. Master is used here in the sense of one’s own inner master or Holy Guardian Angel and the teacher actually instructing the class. “Establish sound cooperation between teacher and student to achieve a high stage of technological progress.” Honor thy father and mother. Discard slander, talkativeness, and falsehood.

V. PRUDENCE: Faith in one’s ability to assimilate the truth. Study the Scriptures. The deep insight that befits the faculty of seership. Evidence of a call to spiritual orders and having a mission in life. “One is expected to possess intellectual zeal to crave and search for the truth, to know not only the causes but also effective remedies for any ills that affect the society. “ Thou shalt not kill. Banish despondency, gluttony, and lust.

VI. FIDELITY AND READINESS TO LEARN: Faith in one’s own ability to yield the truth. We can produce, give and return the truth as well as force or influence others to supply the truth. Follow the Good Shepherd's exemplary character. “Cooperation, peaceful coexistence and dedication to the common good are needed, because to arrive at higher scientific achievement, one has to discipline ones mental attitude and work with the aim of being the recipient of true knowledge.” Thou shalt not commit adultery. Purge avarice, incorporate non-permissiveness, stay clear of insensibility.

VII. FORTITUDE: Be free of resentment under the experience of persecution. Establish the ability to welcome suffering. With God on your side whom shall you fear. “Continue to demonstrate love and consideration until obliged to resort to self-defense. Approach our daily labors with a keen awareness of our duties, obligations and basic human rights as responsible members of society.” Thou shalt not steal. Rid yourself of resentment, be vigilant, and have no fear.

VIII. COURAGE: Be free of resentment under the experience of wrong and “train oneself out of any inordinate fear of making mistakes.” Examine yourself and ask HIM to help you to correct and change yourself. Courage would not allow adversity to turn us away from our goals. “Seek out the facts; aid and abet those who pursue the truth.” Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Rid yourself of vainglory and pride, yet acquire simplicity

IX. JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS: Cultivated ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Justice calls for a correct attitude. It is the state of one’s own soul. Righteousness is unswerving righteousness of thought and action. Love. “Be determined to profit by one another’s knowledge and experience; for learning from those who already know is in itself education.” Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house. Achieve humility, discernment, and stillness.

X. SENSE OF VALUE: Cultivated ability to distinguish between the real and unreal. Be blessed. Don't believe the hype. “Correction and improvement of personal character coupled with love of a high quality and the realization that one is an instrument in the hands of JAH (God), one can depend on his own sensibility and insight and act on what his own mind tells him is right.” Love thy neighbor as thyself. Be ever prayerful, dispassionate, and love unconditionally.
