In this study, I seek to discuss the ocean as a sacramental space and how Afro-centric ocean ritualistic practises can create pathways for counter-colonial hermeneutical framings of water rituals. Furthermore, I seek to interrogate the undue power wielded by churches- as a structure- and the religio-spiritual dependency on "Men of God." Before I unpack the title of the paper, it is important to situate this study within African cosmological frameworks. For the interests of this paper, I will only be focusing on how Modimo (God) is conceptualized. In African cosmologies, Modimo is understood to be embedded within nature; the ocean, forests, rivers, mountains are but a few examples of where people go to when they seek to connect with and pray to God. I begin my discussion by unpacking the title of this paper, ke lekunutung le Modimo (Sesotho), which can be loosely translated as "sharing a secret with God" or in this specific context, "to be in a Covenant with God." What is also implied by the title is the idea of sacred knowledge and how African cosmological frameworks understand the ocean as a space where sacred knowledge or secrets are encountered. Here, I engage with the ocean as a site of makunutu (secrets) through being a space to ho senola lekunutu (disclosing one's deepest secrets) through prayer or in conversation with Modimo. Next, I engage with kolobetso (baptism) and tloekiso (purification) as water rituals which are considered important in the formation of a Covenant with God. Through this, two things are possible to deduce: firstly, God is contextualized as being accessible to black people which contradicts enduring missionary propaganda of a God who is only sympathetic to white people or who can only be accessed through the mediation of a white male messiah and/or European Christian practices. Having established God's accessibility (through the ocean), I then interrogate the necessity of churches as a heteropatriarchal colonial structure.
