Our History – Before Awakening
Prior to our “Awakening”, as with other people around the world, we accepted the gospel of Je__s as it’s “face value”. We recognized every pagan celebration and ate everything that is considered consumable.
However, THE MOST HIGH revealed himself; a fulfillment of scriptures to know who we are as a nation, a race of people; cursed but not forsaken, punished but not utterly destroyed. For THE MOST HIGH declared that “we would remember ourselves….” (2 Baruk Chapter 2: 30 -35, I King 8:47 – 48 and Ezekiel 6:9) More of the true Children of Akobi (Jacob) are waking up in all four corners of the world.
Because our ancestors, Children of Akobi, (Jacob) disobeyed THE MOST HIGH, not once, but numerous times, refused to follow his commandments. In Deuteromony 18:15 & 18, speaks of THE MOST HIGH telling the Prophetsent Isaiah that he will raise up a prophet like him from thy brethern, unto to him ye shall hearken. Thus, Msindisi, a Bantu brother, a prophet came from among is people. Msindisi warned the Bantus of the coming destruction of the temple Jerusalema. Rome attacked, over a million killed and many fled from South Africa towards west Africa to hide among their brothers and cousins. Ancient African maps dating back to 1700’s reflect a territory named Tribe of Judah/Slave Coast, The Gold Coast, Kingdom of Benin, and Negroland)
Europeans and other foreigners were complicit, to say the least in our ancestor’s capture and transfer to The Gold Coast West Africa for deportation as slaves, to America, Americas and other regions around the world. Thus fulfilling the scriptures foretelling of the loss of Bantu’sheritage, culture and identity, and taken away from Africa, as slaves into foreign lands (Jeremiah 17:4) Slavery, colonization, and religion weree the devices used to dominate and control Africa.
The more THE MOST HIGH warned our ancestors not to practice what the Gentiles do, the more they continued. And as descendants, African Diaspora, the Bantus, the Children of Akobi, continue disobedience against THE MOST HIGH with Sunday worship, graven images, pagan holidays and consumption of forbidden foods.
THE MOST HIGH punishes us, yet, He has not forsaken us. Our punishment is for only a season and he promised to keep His covenant with our founding fathers Abram), Isaka (Isaac), and Akobi (Jacob), (Genesis 15:13-14, Jeremiah 30:3, Ezekiel 11:17, 37:21 and Matthew 24:31)
In 1926, THE MOST HIGH sent a Ghanaian African Princess, Laura Adorka Kofi to America to deliver His Program of deliverance, salvation and to return back to Him, into the land of our ancestor’s last dwelling place, West Africa. Through dreams and visions, THE MOST HIGH told the Princess and her father he wanted to use the Princess until he could find a man to do the job. The Princess’s father, King Knesiphi along with African chiefs and the 7 Kings of the Gold Coast endorsed her plan and provided her with legal documents to represent them.
During 1926 – 1927, the Princess was respectively known as “Mother Kofi” (Koffey). Princess Kofi affiliated herself with Marcus Garvey’s UNIA and was instrumental in drawing thousands of members. However, she encountered opposition from ministers and prominent African American leaders who refused to accept THE MOST HIGH’s program. The “Program” was a means to reconnect with and return back to Africa. Influential ministers were upset because their church houses were empty while their members flocked towards Mother Kofi. In other words, “their gravy (money)train dried up”. The program included:
- Salvation and Redemption – Return back to the “Old Land Mark” return to Africa to serve THE MOST HIGH, as a race of people.
- Dignity and Pride – Not ashamed of your culture, origin, the motherland Africa and love one another.
- Empowerment – Self-help, stick together and save your money. Promoting education, economic development within and for Africa and between America.
The ministers and community leaders in New York City and Detroit would not accept the program that Mother Kofi brought to America. She connected with Marcus Garvey until he was arrested. As a result from disagreements with Garvey followers and opposition from religious leaders, TMH told her to start a church and run THE MOST HIGH’s program through the church. Mother Kofi named the church, The African Universal Church and Commercial League. Mother Kofi established the church with the term “universal” because Africa’s children are scattered across the four corners of the world.
In 1927 – 1928, Mother Kofi visited the southern states of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. Thousands of people who heard her speak enrolled their names into the church. Mother Kofi’s life was threaten frequently, her followers obtained body guards to protect the princess. The princess foretold of her death and requested the following from THE MOST HIGH:
- Africa be redeemed
- Her children return back into Africa
- When she falls (die) let it be in the presence of her children that they be witnesses that she went down (died) for them
Prior to her death, Mother Kofi prophesied by saying: TMH told me that if I fall, a little man would come and take up my work. He was little but “mighty loud”, and would establish the governmental (administrative) affairs of her program.
On March 8, 1928, Mother Kofi was assassination in Miami, Florida, preaching the gospel. His name was Rev. Nyombolo, a/k/a, Lil’ Brother, Pondoland, South Africa.
In 1929 1930s, Rev. Nyombolo became associated with the African Universal Church, after being invited by officers to visit the church. He pledged to continue the works started by Mother Kofi. He created the governing foundation and organizational structure of African Universal Churches. He was instrumental in teaching Bantu culture and Christian programs. He established a bi-lingual order-of-service of English and isi- Xhosa – Bantu. He also worked as an instructor at Walker Business College. Rev. Nyombolo held several college degrees and spoke at least six different languages.
After sending representatives to Ghana, a new church was started as the Missionary African Universal Church, Inc. Other African Universal Churches wanted self-autonomy and made it difficult for the Churches to act under one governing body. Ultimately, Rev. Nyombolo committed to leading the Missionary African Universal Church the way “THE MOST HIGH told him to do”. Rev. Nyombolo passed away on July 7, 1970.

Our History – The Awakening
On December 18, 2021, African Universal House of Worship officers and members unanimously voted Elder Kubini V. Keyes to serve as the new “Shepherd”, Pastor, and Overseer.
For the year 2022, much did not change. Members and families took time to rest and return to normalcy. Little did we know, THE MOST HIGH was not finished with us. The “Awakening” had a trial, a test to see if we would transition to accept or reject the final hidden component that would eventually explain “The Program” in ways that many of us had never known.
During the last week of December 2022, Sheppard Keyes was conducting routine studies and research of Hebrew history. THE MOST HIGH led Sheppard Keyes to a YouTube Video led by a man operating out of Great Britian (England). The brother was deep in the word of THE MOST HIGH and African history and culture. It took 3 ½ hours to absorb a 1 ½ video due to pausing the video to research, replay the video, meditate, and document the information.
After extensive studies, research, DNA test results, and meditation, led to the following beliefs:
- African Americans whose are descendants of African of the Trans Atlantic Save Trade are Bantus.
- Our DNA test results reflect the E1B1 DNA located in West Africa, Central and Southern Africa.
- THE MOST HIGH is the Creator of the Bantus of Africa. His son Msindisi, the Savior was a Bantu man, made by flesh and not by an angel or a spirit. THE MOST HIGH has African names: SO NINI NA NINI, TA TA NZANBE and CHUNIKI
- The Promise Land is Sub-Saharan Africa, not the Middle East
- The Land of Milk and Honey is Sub-Saharan Africa
- The Bantus are the children of the bible, scattered across the four corners of the world
- Christianity and Hebrew Isrealite practices and beliefs were discontinued
- THE MOST HIGH shall gather the Bantus back to Africa
- The Program Mother Kofi brought to America is THE MOST HIGH’s plan to return Bantus back home
- Our elders told us in prior years that “Glory knows where we are and to sit still and wait for Him.”
Princess Laura Adorka Kofi was absolutely correct when she prophesied that TMH promised to send someone from Africa to take up her work, upon her death. This man was from South Africa and he taught us isi-Xosa language and Bantu cultures. After being directed by TMH to view the Black Reeducation TV video on YouTube, it opened our eyes to greater truths waiting for us to accept and return to So NiNi Na NiNi. “For this thing was not done in a corner.”
“Do your research and form your own opinion”. “We who we are and who we worship”.
