Today’s Scripture
“Therefore I tell you, her sins, many [as they are], are forgiven her—because she has loved much. But he who is forgiven little loves little.”
(Luke 7:47, AMP)
Message
Did you know that forgiveness opens the door for love to operate in your life? Today’s verse is talking about the story of the woman with the alabaster box of costly perfume. She was a notorious sinner in her day, but when she encountered Jesus, her life changed. She fell at His feet in worship and began washing His feet with her tears and drying them with her hair. When she received Christ’s forgiveness, love was the automatic response. She was forgiven much, and her love was extravagant.
Do you want more love in your life? Do you want to feel more of God’s love and have stronger relationships with the people around you? Open your heart to forgiveness. Receive Christ’s forgiveness and extend it to others. When you are forgiven much, you will love much, and His love will empower you to rise higher in every area of life!

Ignorance is really a hindrance to progress.
When peoples lives are been ruled by unproven concepts and childish arguements, it is little wonder why black Africa is the way it is today !
Africans wake up from your docility and research about this fraud called Christianity…embrace your Afrikan Spirituality which has been existence for millennial.
Wake up from your folly!!
As an observer, it just seems like Africans, settled for something that was brought to them by the people who continue to entrap them one way or another.
Truth and accurate knowledge that predates the white man’s world must be shared and discussed, not the pre-packaged cookie cutter religion that keeps all people docile lemmings being presented as the truth. Seek for yourself men and women, and share with the children.
Here we believe that the whiteman came to africa, gave us the bible and took away our riches.
Xtianity was one of the weapons the muzungu used in plundering and enslaving Africa.
Lads…a lack of knowledge for the Lord Christ is your issue. No need to blame the white man for your problems and use Christianity as a scapegoat for your status! Africa has been independent for yonks!! We were given our freedom a long long time ago but we have failed ourselves. When the Brits left Zambia they left infrastructure that our FREE governments failed to maintain. Let us just take a bit of responsibility and maybe we will find ourselves somewhere better. In the absence of this responsibility lets wait for the redeemer to show up!!!
