Africa Not Cursed! And furthermore, Blessed!!!

Posted this on facebook:
Genesis 9:19-27:
Speaks about Caanan being cursed and even before that it puts emphasis on Caanan(Ham father of Caanan and is repeated several times like this as if we do not know Ham is the father of Caanan - I think to show emphasis). And in the curse only Caanan's name is mentioned. Moreover of A Son of Cush(Africa's ancestor) Nimrod, It says "A mighty one in the Earth", "A mighty hunter before the Lord", and He it seems he was kind of King. The question is if the curse was on the descendants of Ham(That they would be servants of their brothers) How come we find a King among these?
Anyway, In this time we all live under new blessings because of Jesus Christ. The only problem I think is lack of knowledge of what we have in Christ. For instance we let the devil cheat us and take us to hell which belongs only to him and demons because we do not know Jesus has already paid the price for our sins. For them that believed in Him he gave the right, the ability to become the children of God (John 1:12-13). And Ephesians 1:3 says we have been blessed with EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES. and I repeat NOT JUST FEW blessings but EVERY ONE OF THEM.
Believe in Jesus Claim your blessings. What good is the knowledge that you are not cursed if you do not claim your blessings.
