The Power of The Black man's God
By
The Hon. Elijah Muhammad
In the Name of ALLAH, The Beneficent, The
Merciful
[Below are the words of our Leader and Teacher on the power
of God in self}
"This is what he wants to make out of you and me, not just
believers, but Gods. Everyone of you, according to what He has taught me will be
Gods. Everyone of you, according to what he has taught me will be Gods. I found
myself saying oneday, "I have learned quite a bit from our Lord, so I think I'll
try some of it on myself," and I did. I just said, I hope this will be thus and
thus, and I went on a forgot about it. Before I realized it, it had
materialized. There is no doubt that it is a true thing.
"There is no doubt that we are Gods, but we have lost our power and knowledge, like the parable of Jesus stated, "Salt is good so long as it has savoring power, but when it doesn't have no savoring power, it's no good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled under foot. This he of whom of whom Jesus was referring, is us.
"We have power if we are restored to what
we originally were, but we have been robbed of power through being deprived of
the knowledge of self. Just think about it, you're bowing to the creature
instead of the Creator, you are far off. You are from the Creator and this is a
creature of the Creator. You are also the brother of the Creator, you should
also be able to Create."
{Words from Messenger Elijah Muhammad, Theology of Time 10-8-72)
