Jihadhari na Unafiki

Neno la Mungu katika Luka 16:15 “ Hapo akawaambia, Ninyi mnajifanya wema mbele ya watu, lakini Mungu anaijua mioyo yenu. Kwa maana kile kinachoonekana kuwa kitukufu mbele ya watu, Mungu anakiona kuwa takataka.”

Leo nimesukumwa niongee juu ya jambo hili linalotusumbua sisi Wakirsto na jamii kwa ujumla. Imekuwa kama kawaida siku hizi watu kuishi maisha ya unafiki.

Unafiki ni hali ya kutukuwa na maisha ya ukweli kwa kuwa na maisha ambayo hayana picha halisi ya kile kilichoko ndani ya moyo ya mtu.

Mtu mnafiki anafanya hivyo ili kupata sifa kwa watu wanamzunguka kama vile wachungaji,mabosi ofisini,marafiki na ndugu.

Mara nyingi lengo la mnafiki ni kuweka picha nzuri yake kwa watu huku akihakikisha kwa njia yoyote ile wengine wanaonekana wabaya.

Sio rahisi sana kumjua mnafiki maana anaweza kujifanya rafiki yako ili uwe wazi kwake apate nafasi ya kujua mtazamo wako ili aende kueleza kwa watu wengine kwa njia ya tofauti ambayo inakufanya uonekane mbaya.

Kama neno linavyosema hapo juu katika Luka 16:15 Mungu anajua mioyo ya wanafiki kwamba wanajifanya wema mbele za watu lakini hawako hivyo.

Pia katika Mathayo 6: 1“Angalieni msifanye wema wenu machoni pa watu, kusudi mtazamwe na wao; kwa maana mkifanya hivyo, hampati thawabu kwa Baba yenu aliye mbinguni.”  Neno linatuasa kabisa kutojifanya kwamba ni wema mbele za watu ili hali ndani ya mioyo yetu hatuna upendo nao,Mungu hatatupa thawabu kama tuna tabia hiyo.

Christina Shusho Faults Kenya's Gospel Industry

Tanzanian Gospel artiste Christina Shusho

Tanzanian Gospel songstress Christina Shusho has expressed her concern about the state of the Kenyan Gospel industy. Shusho who was last weekend crowned the Artist of the Year, Tanzania at the just concluded Groove Awards ceremony has termed the Gospel scene as 'Gospel entertainment'.

Speaking during her interview on "Tukuza", KTN's leading Gospel show, Shusho let known her disappointment and even revealed her ideal Gospel Ministry.

One of the points she made out clear is that : “The Kenya Gospel Music is getting worse rather than good as Kenya gospel artistes are not singing bad songs only that its more of entertainment gospel.

The sad point is that gospel music has now gone main stream and that’s where we ask are doing the right thing such that the world also now loves us?

To quote her in Swahili she said: “Kenyans artistes are making gospel music worse rather than good as a variety of Kenyan gospel artistes are bringing more of the world entertainment music in the current gospel rather than worship.”

Further she said : ” A multiple of Kenyan Gospel artistes do not focus on saving the soul of the listener when recording the song in the studio, rather most focus on entertaining the audience on stage performance.”

Christina was bold to say her version of the gospel by saying that gospel musicians in Kenya need to look up to the Kenyan gospel icons including : Mary Atieno , Sarah K ,Emmy Kosgei, Daddy Owen and many others as their mentors.

Re-digging the Wells of Prayers by Pastor Dondo

 

The Preacher first reminded the congregation on the main purpose of Christians as its seen in Matthew 22:36-40

 “36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

We need to get back the basics on how the old church behaved.

 

Opening Scripture comes from Acts 2:42

“They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”

The old church devoted themselves in prayers, we ought to re-dig our wells of Prayers

True worship cannot be possible without prayers

Mark 11: 17 “And as he taught them, he said, "Is it not written: 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it 'a den of robbers.”

Genesis 26:18 “Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them.”

 God is calling us to re-dig the wells as we dig our Spirit will be refreshed.

Some people has been so busy with their job, business, families and other world activities in such a way they have forgotten the basics of Christianity.

Christians have lost the thirsty for the things of God because they are not praying anymore.

Some are so used to salvation that they cannot move on anymore, It is time to re-dig our wells of Prayer as Isaac did

May God help us to experience fresh anointing of the Holy Ghost

Some are good in excuses that we are living in challenging time so we cannot pray, they have forgotten what is written in Haggai 2: 9 ” The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the LORD Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the LORD Almighty."

We will experience power of God even more this time.

As we re-dig the wells we are going to see greater things, more miracles and power of Jesus transforming people.

 Jeremiah 29:13”You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

James 4:8 “Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minde”

As per above scriptures if we seek God we will find him, we can seek him through Prayers

We need to learn to put the first things first, Prayer is the first thing in our Christian life

If we want to see God we must start with God

The former church was the church of Prayer; you can go through Acts 1:14,24, Acts 2:1-4,42

The following are three things that we can learn from former church;

Ambele Chapanyota amewataka waimbaji wa Nyimbo za Injili nchini Tanzania kusimama katika msimamo wa Neno la Mungu

Ambele Chapanyota muimbaji wa Nyimbo za Injili anayevuma na wimbo wa Salama Kwa Yesu

 

Ambele Chapanyota  mwimbaji wa Nyimbo za Injili ambaye anavuma kwa wimbo wa Salama Kwa Yesu amewataka waimbaji wa Nyimbo za Injili kusimama katika msimamo wa Neno la Mungu.

Maneno hayo aliyasema Ambele katika mahojiano aliyoyafanya na Rejoice and Rejoice blog,alipoulizwa anaonaje uimbaji wa Nyimbo za Injili hapa nchini Tanzania.

Ambele Chapanyota amesikika sana kupitia albamu yake ya kwanza ya Salama kwa Yesu ambayo ina nyimbo nane ambazo ni;

Vitu muhimu vya kuangalia unapojiandaa kuwa na mwenzi wa maisha........Sehemu ya 7

 

Leo tunaendelea na somo letu la saba kwenye mtiririko wa Vitu muhimu vya kuangalia unapojiandaa kuwa na mwenzi wa maisha.

Tunaendelea kuangalia vitu ambavyo unatakiwa kuangalia kwa huyo anayetegemewa kuwa mwenzi wako,ili usije ukajikuta unajiingiza katika mtego ukaja kulia.

Leo tutaangalia kipengele muhimu sana cha kuangalia kwa huyo mtarajiwa wako ambacho ni;

 Je huyo mtarajiwa wako ni mkweli kwa kiasi gani;

“Mithali 12:22 Midomo ya uongo ni chukizo kwa Bwana; Bali watendao uaminifu ndio furaha yake”

Kutokana na andiko hilo hapo juu tunaona kwamba Mungu wetu hapendi Uongo,mtu muongo ni chukizo kwa Bwana bali mwaminifu ni furaha ya Bwana.

Ni muhimu sana kuhakikisha kwamba mtarajiwa wako ni mkweli ikiwa na maana kwamba kila alichokuambia kuanzia historia yake ya nyuma,maisha yake ya sasa,anapofanya kazi,biashara au shule ni kweli viko hivyo.

Ngoja nikupe ushuhuda kidogo kabla sijaendelea,Kuna dada mmoja alichumbiwa yule mchumba alimpa historia ambayo kwakweli ilimsisimua yule dada kwamba ana CPA,ACCA,Masters mbili na anafanya kazi shirika moja kuubwa la kimataifa.

Kwa ninavyomjua yule dada sio kwamba alikubali hayo mahusiano kwasababu ya hivyo vitu ila alikuwa tu amempenda huyo mtumishi kama alivyo bila vitu vyake. Siku zilivyokwenda ndivyo yule mtumishi akawa anaendelea kuongeza CV yake kwamba ana kile na hiki na kwamba ana undugu na wakubwa Fulani Fulani.Yule dada aliamini kwamba anavyoambiwa ni kweli kwasababu yeye kila alichomweleza mwenzake ni kweli tupu. Sasa siku moja yule akakutana na rafiki yake ambaye alikuwa hajamuona siku nyingi,katika furaha akamwambia ana mchumba ambaye ana sifa hizo hapo juu basi yule rafiki akamfurahia mwenzake na nafikiri alitamani kumuona huyo mwenzi wa rafiki yake. Siku ikafika yule dada akakutana nao siku moja akamwambia huyu ndio mtarajiwa wangu akamwambia ndio yule uliyeniambia akasema ndio. Kumbe yule rafiki alikuwa anamjua vizuri sana yule mchumba kwamba ni tapeli tu wa mjini na hana hata kigezo kimoja na anafanya biashara ya kawaida. Ilikuwa ni aibu sana maana yule dada ilibidi afuatilie kujua na mambo mengine aliyokuwa amemwambia akagundua kwamba amedanganywa vyote.

Na hapo ndipo lilitimia andiko la Mithali 12:19 “Mdomo wa kweli utathibitishwa milele; Bali ulimi wa uongo ni wa kitambo tu.”

Mtu anaweza kusema uongo ukaonekana kama kidogo kumbe nyuma yake ana mambo kibao ambao yamejengwa ndani ya uongo,maana ukiolewa au kuoa mtu muongo ndio sasa unaanza kuishi maisha ya stress anakwambia nimeenda kazini kumbe hajaenda,anakwambia niko Ubungo kumbe yuko Posta,anakwambia hiki kumbe anafanya kile. Mtu muongo atafanya maisha ya mwenzake yawe ya taabu kubwa sana.

Katika huo ushuhuda hapo juu kilichomsaidia huyo dada ni kwamba alikuwa mtu wa maombi ndio maana Mungu aliweza kufunua hiyo tabia,angekuwa anakwenda na akili zake asingeweza kufunuliwa hayo. Ndio maana mtu yoyote akiniambia nina mchumba ninapenda kuwaambia sasa ujue kwamba umeanza safari ya mapambano usichekelee hiyo pete au hizo zawadi kaaa katika maombi ili mpango wa Mungu usimame,Haleluyaa wapendwa.

Mungu akusaidie sana,kama nilivyoshauri huko nyuma tafuta mtu wa watu utakaokuwa ukiomba nao juu ya jambo hilo na mambo mengine,iko nguvu kubwa katika Maombi maana tunasema na Baba Mungu wetu moja kwa moja.

Kama hujawahi kusoma masomo haya anzia somo la kwanza uweze kupata picha kamili kuna mambo muhimu sana nimezungumzia.

Tukutane tena wiki ijayo maana somo ni refu na sitaki kukupa vitu vingi kwa mara moja,ili uelewe kabisa na kufanyia kazi.

 

Karibu sana na Mungu wangu wa Mbinguni ambaye ni muweza akutembelee siku ya leo.

 

Re-Examine Your Giving....Prophetic Word by Cuthbeth Simalenga

Today I am bringing a prophetic Word to you,someone is about to be promoted but we have to play our part by re-examing our giving. Christians usually claims their rights from God...Ohh God please give me house,car,money,school fees but they forget their responsibility of giving.

Sometimes it difficult to give due to the following;

· We attach value to money (prices, time)

· An illusion that the more we have the better

· Lack of understanding of the truth

· Maturity = We need to grow

· Money = life (bread)

A STEWARD is one who manages another's property, finances, or other affairs. A steward does not own anything—he is to make his master a profit

Opening Scripture Mark 12:41-44; 41 “Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

Also read Mat 25:14-30; Luke 12:48

Reasons why we should give;

Mombasa grenade attack on open-air church service rattles Kenya

Ten-year-old Dominic Maseno being attended to after the Likoni grenade attack, his mother looks on

A grenade thrown last evening at around 7:00 p.m. into a crowd of Christian worshippers at an open-air prayer meeting in Mombasa injured at least dozen people, while in Nairobi, an hour-and-a-half later, at least 4 people were injured in a similar attack. The devices were thrown from a motorbike, according to witnesses in Mombasa, and a car, as seen in Nairobi, and no arrests were made until this morning.

The Mombasa attack comes almost exactly a year since a similar act of terror was carried out, but in Nairobi grenades thrown at local bars, pubs, and bus stages have been a recurring situation since Kenya invaded Somalia in hot pursuit of Islamic terrorists to dislodge with the help of AU troops from Uganda and Burundi the Al Shabab militias from their strongholds. While this objective has by and large been accomplished, even though periodic attempts are made by remnants of the terrorist group affiliated to Al Qaida to re-enter the main cities and cause disruption, life has been progressively returning to normal in Somalia, while Kenya sadly remains at risk for her courageous action.

Sources in Kenya agreed that both attacks were likely carried out by Al Shabab sympathizers but expressed their disquiet over the apparently coordinated way, since both were only an hour-and-a-half apart.
