Jesus' love

We start today with the exposition of God's words from John 8:28 -Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things. To buttress this topic, our guest who spoke in french, also dealt on the symbolic relationship between Numbers 21:4-9 (Moses and the fiery serpent) and John 3: 14-15 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” For the Fiery serpent, there were no home remedies, antidotes or help from others that would save the Israelite apart from looking upon the serpent on a pole, this was by faith alone and obeying God’s instruction.   Likewise, there is nothing more that we can do to obtain salvation apart from what Christ has already done for us on the Cross and looking unto Him as the author and finisher of our faith Hebrews 12: 2.

Other similarities included both providing immediate salvation, were raised up to save men from death, spoke of sin on the pole, spoke of judgement, were easily available and to everyone, demanded faith.

Conclusively, Christ atonement for our sins is sufficient once and for all and our salvation is by faith alone 2nd Corinthians 5:21

Happy listening!!

To help us digest this important topic is our regular guest on Jesus Love Radio - the Executive Director of OMA-Angolan Women’s Organization in the city of Hamilton, Canada Ms Elsa Almeida. Like expected, she dealt on the topic professionally where she hypothesize on the possibilities of Kamala Harris eventually becoming the president. She praised the Canadian legislation ( Section 293) against polygamy which she believes is one of the weapons use to oppress women and the root cause of dysfunctional family's. Conclusively, she emphasized on the role of man and woman in the development of the society. This episode was done in Portuguese.

Taking a trip down memory lane, we turn our spotlight today on the experiences of the Church at the time of apartheid in South Africa.  And to give us an insight on this is none other than a living legend Reverend António Pedro Malungo .

The  Malungo's who reside in Angola celebrated their golden jubilee in 2019 and are blessed with six children and ten grandchildren all living in Canada.

We are privileged to have another pastor on Jesus Love Radio - the senior pastor of L'Eglise Maranatha in Toronto, Canada. The interaction done in french, once again touched on so many topics including his walk to salvation, his ministry, family and government support for churches in Canada amidst the pandemic. An ex-boxer, pastor Masu is highly respected in his community and by God's grace one of the most revered spiritual leaders in Toronto. He is married with four kids.

As the leader of one of the foremost Portuguese churches in Canada, Pastor Jaoa Duarte took us through his pilgrims journey where he stated how he got converted as a teenager in Portugal. He also reemphasized the relationship between the government and the church as well as the role of the congregation towards the spiritual and financial growth of the church. Conclusively, he blessed us with a christian rendition all to the glory of God. The interview done in Portuguese is a must listen, listen to it and be blessed!

In the continuation of the episode on exogamic marriage, we turn the spotlight today on Barcelona, Spain where we talked with Mr. Daniel-Jesus Coll Rodriguez and Mrs. Comfort Odekhiran Coll a Christian biracial couple. They talked about their christian faith and their union where they reiterated that good communication and understanding is the key to keeping a good marriage. It is worthy to note that in this heightened tension on racial discrimination and prejudice prevalent in the world today, God has a way of bringing His own together regardless of geography. In their own words, when we make Jesus our focus, everything will be okay. Also discussed today was the political situation in Spain and the consequent exile of the King - Juan Carlos. The interview was done in Spanish, listen and be blessed!

More often than not, many kids living outside the birth place of their biological parents can't speak the language of where their parents are from. We understand that many were born in a new environment and thus new language. However, the need arise for kids to be able to relate with the languages of their folks. To help us tackle this topic today is none other than the Executive Director of OMA- Angolan Woman’s Organization, Elsa de Almeida, a Christian sister and an Angolan Canadian who and her kids accepted Jesus as lord and savior here in Canada. She used the opportunity to send her condolences to the family of her former colleague at the TPA- Angolan Public Television Edgar Cunha who passed away on August 6th, 2020 in Portugal. The interview was in Portuguese, Listen and be blessed!

On the other hand, Mr. Sahil Yadav who was born a christian talked about the qualities he saw in his wife that made him make the move. God always have a way of bringing His own together and like the bible says in Proverbs 27:17a Iron sharpeneth iron. It is a very interesting episode and I enjoin you all to listen and be blessed.
