The Supreme Being
The Supreme Being
By tradition, Africans on the continent have a firm belief in the Supreme and Almighty God. So it is with those of us in the Diaspora who follow Akan Akom Tradition which is indigenous to Ghana, West Africa and is also found in Ivory Coast, Togo, the Congo, the Caribbean as well as here in the United States. Akans believe that God is the supreme, uncreated, self-existent being in whom all things end up, upon whom all things are dependent. God is everywhere but also far away beyond the reach of humans. We know Him by many appellations such as Otweidiampon, Okokroko, Onyame, Awurade, Odomankoma-the One who can give us grace, Nyankopon, Asasse Yaa-Mother earth, pure, unpolluted, motherly, protective, fruitful---He is the Great one, the dependable One, Eternal, Infinite, the Mighty of Mighties, transcending everything, able to satisfy, Aja -our Father, Awurade-our Lord, our King, our Judge.
