The story of Jesus clothes divided

The story of the scramble of Jesus clothes is a complete reflection of what happened to Africa.

When our forefathers chose to reject the savior, everything done to him has been done to Africa.

The Scramble for Africa is a true reflection of what was done to Jesus. They divided his clothes by casting lots. Can you imagine being stripped naked and people gambling your clothes? Very sad and shameful.

Africa is a picture of a smitten land just like Jesus was smitten. This has clearly meant we have paid for the sins of our forefathers. The psychological trauma has damaged the image of Africa. Yet, we are a happy group of people. We tend to move on by burying the sad past and just live in the moment. 

Let us read Matthew 27: 28, 31, 35

28:  They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him

31: After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. They led him away to crucify him.

35: When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots

The Scramble for Africa is almost the same thing that had happened to Jesus. First the most expensive buildings (temple, etc.) were stripped. And the final nail in the head was splitting the land among the foreigners. 

I have never heard of someone claiming that a tree in another yard is theirs. Those who dwell in the yard with a fruit tree have possession of that tree. Whether the person with a tree uses it or not is not to be anyone's concern. The claiming of the richest lands just baffles me. 

The movement of the land boundaries was like a spit in God's face the way I see it. The bible is clear that God set the boundaries. Didn't they fear God when they moved the boundaries?

Psalms 74: 17 It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.

Proverbs 22: 28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors

Proverbs 23: 10 Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless.

I have heard many times that we should forget about the past, and just move on. Can you move on if in your yard someone is still picking the fruits of your children?

Today trespassing is a huge thing, but it seems it was not when the clothes of Jesus (lands of Africa) were divided among themselves.

I pray we ask God for forgiveness for the sins of our forefathers.

I pray God will heal Africa from self-hatred and tribalism.

I pray God will return what has been stolen, in seven-fold (Proverbs 6:31).
