Some time ago, the story of a pastor in Kenya made the headlines. In fact, this pastor would have asked his followers to pray and fast for a certain period of time. The faithful went into the forest to pray and fast. After a few days, some people started asking how long they should fast. And the pastor answers until they see Jesus.
Sadly, several people died during this fast, including Paul Mackenzie, the pastor himself. He was arrested and brought to justice. Investigations revealed that there had been organ trafficking among the deceased. The exhumed bodies revealed that there were no organs left inside.
Organ trafficking: a lucrative business
This raises the question of organ trafficking worldwide, a black market worth 1.7 billion dollars. The so-called pastor was once a cab driver and then started his own pastoring business. Basically, anyone in Africa could stand up today and proclaim themselves a pastor. It is therefore important to train people before entrusting them with spiritual responsibilities.
It is essential to have adequate training before claiming to speak in the name of God. You don’t get on a plane piloted by someone who claims to be a pilot without proper training. Similarly, it’s necessary to know the background and past of a person who claims to speak to your soul or spirit.

Religion in Africa: a trap for unconscious minds
The story of the pastor in Kenya highlights the excessive number of churches in Africa and in poor countries. Unlike mosques and Catholic churches, which have a limited number of places of worship, there is a proliferation of churches in Africa. This raises questions about the effectiveness of these churches in improving people’s living conditions. Why so many churches but no evolution? Also, these are the same churches that are filled with jealous, spiteful, tribalistic people.
It has to be said that many people go to church today, not necessarily out of love for God, but because they’re looking out for their own interests. Prayers and prophecies about marriage, travel and work, are all things that drive Africans to fill the churches; instead of cultivating themselves and marching in unison to seek to develop their countries. Meanwhile, Westerners are looking to come to Africa to plunder all its resources. They move in, build and sell us our own land.
Africans have often attached great importance to spirituality in the past, seeking the blessing of fetishists before undertaking various activities. Today, fetishists have become prophets and have understood the economic potential of their activities.
There are several tactics for trafficking organs
However, it’s crucial to distinguish between those who are sincere in their religious approach and those who exploit people’s beliefs for profit. Organ trafficking is a shocking example of this high-profit exploitation, especially for the elite. But there are other forms of sect and abuse of power. We have to ask ourselves how it is that thousands of children disappear every year. According to the latest report, up to 137,000 children have gone missing. How could this be possible with all the global tracking systems in place if not through kidnapping?
What’s more, in some countries, this kind of practice is even carried out in hospitals. You can go in with a headache and come out lifeless. In fact, doctors create other illnesses that lead to surgery, and they take advantage of this to take your life and use your vital organs.
The importance of staying awake
It’s important to remain aware and critical of these phenomena, and not to allow ourselves to be blindly led astray by people who claim to act in the name of God, or even in the name of politics, and who seek to manipulate others. Training and education are essential to ensure that spiritual and political leaders are competent and trustworthy. A nation cannot be built without these elements.
In conclusion, it is crucial to be aware of the sectarian aberrations and abuses of power that can exist within churches and in other areas of society. It’s necessary to be vigilant and think critically before blindly following someone’s orders, especially when it comes to spiritual matters.
