The Lost Image
> “God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…

There was a time when man walked in dignity — not because of wealth, but because of awareness.
He knew he was made in the image of the Creator — the reflection of wisdom, love, and power.

Before Africa lost her lands, she lost her vision.
Before she was divided by borders, she was divided by belief.

When God said, “Let us make man in our image,”
He gave humanity the right to create solutions, to heal, to govern, and to inspire.
That divine image carried power — the power to imagine and bring forth.
But when man forgot that image, he began to worship what he could see and ignore what he could be.

that we are co-creators with God, not creatures of circumstance.
When the mirror broke, we saw ourselves as servants in a world we were meant to shape.
We began to dress like others, talk like others, dream like others —
and in doing so, we lost our reflection
