Kumabo is the word used in Burkina Faso for what Jesus did for us at Calvary. Kumabo means to take the head out. Africans who were on their way to the coast to go into slavery were chained by the neck to the person in front and behind them. If someone cared enough to pay to redeem them, they were released from the neck iron and freed. Kumabo, to take the neck out, to redeem. Jesus paid for our redemption with His life (K. Conkle).

The Word

Letter to the Galatians 5,18-25.

Brothers and sisters: If you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness,
idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions,
occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Now those who belong to Christ (Jesus) have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.
