Oprah Winfrey announced on Tuesday that she is joining Bishop T.D. Jakes of The Potter's House and other big-name Christian pastors for MegaFest 2013, the multi-day event that is scheduled to take place on Aug. 29 in Dallas.

"[Winfrey] will be joined by Bishop Jakes and together they will continue the important work of reaching out to the many fatherless sons and daughters who are struggling and in need of healing," a press release on Winfrey's website states.

Some other notable leaders that will participate in MegaFest include World Changers International Church Pastor Creflo Dollar, as well as Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church.

Vitu muhimu vya kuangalia au kufanya unapojiandaa kuoa au kuolewa….Sehemu ya 9

Hofu;

Leo nitaongelea juu ya jambo hili la hofu na nitazungumzia katika pande mbili;

1. Kwanza unapokuwa umeanza mahusiano usiwe na hofu kwamba uhusiano wako hautadumu au utavunjika mwamini Mungu.

Tusome neno hili la Mungu kutoka Wafilipi 4: 6-7 “ Msifadhaike juu ya jambo lo lote; lakini katika kila jambo mjulisheni Mungu haja zenu, kwa kusali na kuomba pamoja na kushu kuru 7 Na amani ya Mungu, ambayo inapita ufahamu wote, italinda mioyo yenu na nia zenu kwa Kristo Yesu.”

Neno la Mungu liko wazi kabisa usifadhaike kwa jambo lolote na mahusiano ni lolote mpendwa wajibu wetu ni kumjulisha Mungu haja zetu kwa njia ya maombi na shukrani,na baada ya hapo unatakiwa uishi kwa furaha na imani maana Mungu unakuwa na uhakika kwamba Mungu anashughulikia mambo yako, Mungu anashughulika na hayo mahusiano.

Ila tu usisahau misingi Mungu anashughulikia mahusiano kama umemwalika ndio maana katika masomo yaliyopita tumesisitiza san asana swala la kuanza mahusiano na Mungu.

Neno la Mungu katika Mathayo 6: 34 Basi, msiwe na wasiwasi juu ya kesho; kesho inayo yake. Matatizo ya siku moja yanawatosheni kwa siku hiyo.

Usiwaze sanaa juu ya nini kitatokea kesho maana kesho inajitegemea yenyewe,usiwaze kwamba kesho huyo mwenzi ataamka na msimamo gani au wazazi wake au wako wataamka na msimamo gani kikubwa sana ni kumtegemea Mungu ambaye anajua mwanzo na mwisho kama yeye ndio mwanzilishi wa mahusiano hayo atasimamia yafike mwisho.

Inawezekana ulikuwa kwenye mahusiano na yalikuwa na picha nzuri sana kila mahali kwamba kuna mahali mnaelekea, na watu wakatamani kuwa kama nyie na mlijitambulisha pande zote mbili na labda na tarehe ya harusi mlipanga iwe mwezi fulani ghafla siku moja na siku moja huyo mkaka au mdada akaamka akasema ameshuhudiwa kwamba sio mpango wa Mungu nyie kuja kuwa pamoja, Pole mpendwa huo          sio mwisho wa safari, yeye sio Bwana Yesu ni mwanadamu kama wewe na ndio maana neno la Mungu katika Zaburi 118: 8 “Ni heri kumkimbilia Bwana Kuliko kuwatumainia wanadamu”

Pia katika Yeremia 17:5 “Bwana asema hivi, Amelaaniwa mtu yule amtegemeaye mwanadamu, Amfanyaye mwanadamu kuwa kinga yake Na moyoni mwake amemwacha Bwana” Inawezekana unampenda sana huyo mpendwa wako ambaye unategemea labda utamuoa au atakuoa lakini usije ukakosea ukamtegemea kuliko unavyomtegemea Mungu, mpende lakini ujue kwamba yeye ni mwanadamu kwamba muda wowote akiamua tofauti na mlivyokubaliana japo inauma sana sana jipe Moyo maana aliyeko ndani yako ndio mkuu zaidi,songa mbele na ujue kwamba Mungu atavusha na huo sio mwisho wa safari yako,Mungu atafanya jambo jipya Halleluyaa

Ngoja nikupe ushuhuda kidogo kuna mpendwa wangu mmoja alikuwa na mchumba na walitegemea kufunga ndoa,siku moja mchumba yule aliibuka ghafla na unabii kwamba Mungu amezungumza nae kwamba sio mpango wake hao wapendwa kuwa pamoja,yule dada aliumia akamtafuta mchungaji wake akapata ushauri na maombi, akaweza tena kuendelea mbele pia kwa kutiwa moyo na ndugu na marafiki siku, miaka ikapita yule dada alikuja kuolewa na mtu mwingine na huwa ananishuhudiaga kwamba hakung`ang`ania akamuheshimu Mungu na sasa anaishi maisha ya furaha maana alimtegemea Mungu. Inalipa sana kumtegemea Mungu mpendwa.

2.         Usiwe na hofu kwamba hutaoa au hutaolewa

Neno la Mungu katika Yeremia 29: 11 “Maana nayajua mawazo ninayowawazia ninyi, asema Bwana, ni mawazo ya amani wala si ya mabaya, kuwapa ninyi tumaini siku zenu za mwisho.”

Diana(Madida)  Kihayile aka Mrs Bubele Kihayile

 

Blogger: Wow Thanks, When did you receive Christ

I came to know Christ as my personal savior in 1997,after attending one of the largest crusade organized by EAGT in Mwanza Tanzania,Moses Kulola’s preaching came with such a power into my heart as a result I was left with no option rather than accepting Jesus as my personal savior.

Blogger: Amen, What motivate you to be involved in Gospel Music

Soon after giving my life to Jesus I became an active Christian in the church that I attended (Imani church under Rev.Juliana Nyanda leadership), found myself serving in both church choir and praise team.  After a confirmation from God that SINGING is my ministry I have never stopped come either rain or shine.

Blogger: When did you started and How

I started singing in the end of 1997,it happened to have a family friends in the church who were all musically (the Kihayile’s) therefore they encouraged me to join the choir not only that, they also offered 100% support on my vocal trainings plus Christian life teachings in general.

Blogger: How Many Albums do you have? Which are they?

I have recorded two albums in the past, MIMI NAJUA YESU ANANIPENDA/I KNOW JESUS LOVES ME in 2003 followed by Milele/Forever 2006, I with my music partner (Bubele Kihayile) have released an album known as Tumpe sifa/Lets Praise in April 2013.

The current album remarks an official birth of Diana and Bubele Music Ministry (BDMM), which has the aim of reaching out individual with the love of God via Music. In most places I minister with my partner therefore it is very rare to find me on my own because we feel this is the way that Holy Spirit leads us at the moment.

With Prayer everthing is possible

Keys to Prosperity by Pastor Dondo

From the Altar....

Pastor started by saying, Today I am going to speak on the subject which is a bit difficult because it has been misinterpreted by both congregation and some Preachers.

That is why we heard some Preachers are labeled as Prosperity Preachers and also others are Poverty Preachers.

Today I want to you to get in depth understanding on this subject of Keys to Prosperity

Let us read these bible verses first;

3 John 2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”

From the above scripture it is God plan that we should prosper

Open also 1 John 2 :15  “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”

Christian should also be alerted to be careful to the love of the world and things of the world,because for others to prosper is to love the world and its things

Let us see how God prosper his people in the Bible and what was the key for their prosperity;

Genesis 39:1-6

 “1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.

2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.”

6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

Before Joseph went to Potiphar he was put into pit because their relative envy him because of his vision, so they wanted to kill him.

This teaches me that we have to be very careful with whom are you sharing your vision. It might be your blood brother or brother in Christ, they can discourage and disappoint your vision sometimes.

From the story in above scripture, Potiphar was not a Christian and he did not know God of Israel but he saw something of God in Joseph.

Prosperity that Joseph had was for a purpose, Some people misinterpreted prosperity that is for “me” only.

If God has blessed us, the blessing is not for ourselves it is for the church and extension of God `s Kingdom.

You don’t have to fight for your right God will intervene.

God can turn your haters into elevators

From John 15: 2 “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.”

From above scripture you may be passing through pains but know that it is preparing you for better position. As the vein which does not bear fruit can be taken away for it to bring more fruits.

As for Joseph he was in Jail for 13 years but later promoted to Prime Minister position.

For us to be prospered there are Key issues to consider.

Keys to Prosperity;

Vitu muhimu vya kuangalia au kufanya unapojiandaa kuwa na mwenzi wa maisha------SEHEMU YA 8

 

Bwana Yesu asifiwe wapendwa,leo tunaendelea na Somo letu la Vitu muhimu vya kuangalia au kufanya unapojiandaa kuwa na mwenzi wako wa maisha.

Nitazungumzia jambo muhimu sana ambalo watarajiwa wote wawili yaani mwanamke na mwanaume inabidi kujifunza na kuliombea ili mnapokuja kuishi pamoja muwe na ndoa yenye Amani na inayomtukuza Mungu. Jambo lenyewewe ni;

Hasira – Mjipange kuizuia isije ikawaharibia mahusiano ya sasa au ya mbele.

Hasira kwa kifupi ni hali ya mtu kujisikia vibaya,au kuchukia na kuwa na msukumo mkali unaomfanya mtu afanye kitu ambacho hakutegemea kukifanya mara nyingine.

Kwa miaka mingi ambayo Mungu amenipa hapa duniani,nimekuwa katika familia yetu,familia zingine,makanisa mbalimbali,mashule,vyuo,maofisi mbalimbali sijawahi kuona mtu ambaye hana HASIRA.

Kwa hiyo nataka nikuambie kwamba kila mtu ana hasira ila tu tofauti tu ni jinsi watu wanavyoweza kuikabili. Hasira inaweza kuwa mbaya au nzuri au mbaya.

Ninaposema nzuri ni kwamba kuna ile hasira ya kuchukia vitu vibaya au dhambi hiyo ni nzuri.

Hebu tuangalie neno la Mungu linaloonyesha ni hasira ambayo iko chanya (positive) ,fungua na mimi Zaburi 7: 11 “Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Naam, Mungu aghadhibikaye kila siku”

Katika neno la Mungu hapo juu tunaona kwamba Mungu naye anachukizwa lakini anachukizwa na dhambi.

Kidnapped Christian Released after Miraculous Prayer

MINDANAO, Philippines - Very few kidnap victims have been freed from the Abu Sayyaf, a radical Muslim group linked to al Qaeda, but an encounter with God changed the life of one hostage who eventually made it out alive.

Raymund, not his real name, will never forget that afternoon when heavily armed Abu Sayyaf rebels seized him from his car.

"For two hours I was questioning God, 'why me Lord?' I was terrified for my life because just a few days before, there were victims who did not make it. The Abu Sayyaf killed them," he said.

Raymund prayed he would not suffer the fate of the other kidnap victims. 

"I told God, I am different from them. I will survive because you have a purpose why you allowed this to happen," he told CBN News.

Kenyan Leaders Ask Obama to Respect Christian Beliefs, Policies on Homosexuality

Obama arriving to Tanzania

Kenya's president and deputy president urged U.S. President Barack Obama on Sunday to respect the African country's culture and religious beliefs following comments made by Obama in Senegal, in which the president encouraged African governments to decriminalize homosexuality.

While speaking at St. Gabriel's Catholic Church, located in Maili Kumi in the Bahati constituency, Kenya Deputy President William Ruto urged Obama to "respect Kenyans" and their belief that homosexuality is a sin.

"No one should have any worry about Kenya's stand as a God-fearing nation. President Obama is a powerful man but we trust in God as it is written in the Bible that cursed is the man who puts trust in another man," Ruto said on Sunday, as reported by the Daily Nation.

The deputy president went on to add that Kenya would not accept "alien mannerisms" which are not in line with African culture.

"Those who believe in other things, that is their business," Ruto said, referencing Obama's support of same-sex marriage. Kenyans, he said, believe in God.

Ruto noted that the African country is grateful for the aid it has received from America, saying, "America has made tremendous contribution to Kenya's well-being and we are very grateful, and as a government we are ready to receive any help from America that will improve the lives of our people."

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta also dismissed Obama's comments on same-sex marriage at a separate religious event on Sunday.
