Amen! But I hope we can have something like this BEFORE the rapture!

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

This is not an acceptable form of worship.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

Great.

I would not mind joining these brethren in worship.
The only glitch is that I have no white clothes. :heeheehee

I prefer high church myself

Hey! And they're wearing head coverings?

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

Do tell us, or better yet show us an acceptable form of worship.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

What's that?

Here you go Mike.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

Are you both sure you want to know?

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

Neat video. They sure can sing.

Just wondering, do they believe they HAVE to wear white to church? What exactly would be the purpose of having everyone dressed in white?

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

White denotes purity

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

About all the writing I found on them was in their own language so I don't really know.

HOWEVER I once associated for 3 years with a group that required everyone in the ministry to wear white robes. They felt it was symbolic for purity. American and European ministers were exempted. Many of the saints who are not in ministry follow the practice.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

Here is another beautiful song they are doing.

Here is a link I found with an article that may be discussing this particular group:

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

Here is an excerpt from one of the above links:

Because of this steady migration, Masowe and his followers remained a sect that is secretive and suspicious of outsiders. Other Africans see them as different because they stand out. When a person joins their congregation, it means a complete change. The cost of becoming a follower of Masowe is high. Apart from the need to shave the head and grow a beard for men, or to wear white dresses and headscarves for women, the vaPostori are a closed community. The followers of Masowe are not permitted to work for anyone outside their own group. Thus a Masowe disciple is required to learn a trade by which he or she can contribute to the welfare of the group; any other work is unacceptable. This communal work ethic and business acumen have made the vaPostori prosperous.

On the question of the status of Johane Masowe among the vaPostori, some would say that he acted as the Messiah for Africa [21]. Isabel Mukonyora, a fellow insider to Shona culture, disputes this notion. She regards Masowe's death experience as similar to the suffering of Shona spirit mediums, and hence not equivalent to the death and resurrection of Jesus. "In other words, Johane Masowe merely suffered acutely from his illness before his followers recognized him as a prophet. He did not die and rise again as Christ did to save humankind, only to die again to be buried in Gandanzara some 30 years later" [22]. She says that Masowe saw himself as a prophet like John the Baptist and not as Messiah.

In any case, Masowe's followers came to regard him as more than a prophet. The current website of the Gospel of God Church in Nairobi, Kenya contains sophisticated arguments to support the notion that Masowe is indeed equivalent to Christ. These explain that Jesus had a limited ministry to the "lost sheep of Israel" (Matthew 15:24) and so could not have fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 19:20 that a Savior would come to rescue those oppressed in Egypt. Johane Masowe, however, was sent to liberate Africans. This assertion is backed up with a quote from 1 Enoch 90:38, "That lamb became a great animal and had great black horns on its head and the Lord of the sheep rejoiced over it." The website article concludes that Masowe himself supplied the interpretation of this passage: "The black horns of the great animal were a pointer to the fact that the last Messiah would come from a Nation of Black people" [23].

This is a different group. The African Apostolic Church is led by Paul Mwazha.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

Oh ok. Sorry about that. They look very similar.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

Here is their site.

After looking at some of the teaching I will say this. They have a great way of singing to or about Christ.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

I agree. Their voices singing are very beautiful.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

Ooops!

Here is the site.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

These guys are Trinitarians.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

That's OK, they have beards. :grampa

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

Just like Steve!

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

Trinitarian or not. They sure can praise in unity! That's amazing!

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

That is certainly a point in their favor.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

One of the best guitarists I have ever seen.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

See post 22.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

I think by saying they're Trinitarians pretty much covers what I needed to know. Thank you Michael for directing me to post 22.

What's with the fascination over their singing? Sounds like any other group singing together. Oh, the language... That is what has you in awe.

If I only had the audio I'd think it was from the Lion King.

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

How, about this...

No mo grits...

No mo serp...

Good grief! What kind... That's... What!?

:ursofunny

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

TO ME it doesn't just sound like any other group singing. And its also FOR ME the effect. Believers (albeit Trins like yourself) gathered to praise Christ in the open air. No fancy high maintenance Church building. Wearing white robes symbolizing righteousness. The sisters are obedient to the New Testament teaching of the headcovering.

There are no musical instruments present. Im not saying that's wrong mind you. But it is refreshing and really there is no instrument more beautiful than the human voice.

So sorry it doesn't do anything for you. Maybe you can post a video of "high church"?

Re: African Praise And Worship
 

I just do not have any words for this. hahaha but I definitely would not label that as a praise and worship song. LOL where do you find these things?
