As a Jula, I actively seek the blessings of God. My friends often greet me by saying, "May God give you peace" or "May God bless your children." This is also evidenced in our practice of Saraka whereby someone wishing to incur God's favor or avoid God's wrath will offer a present to a third party. We believe that God, who sees all things, will reward the giver or withhold punishment according to the sacrifice we have made. Some of my neighbors have been telling me that Jesus Himself was offered as the sacrifice many years ago.
