What is the book life, how are our names written in that book?
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Amen! Following the above verses, we see in the last day of Judgment when the Lord Jesus sits to judge the people of the world in His white throne, there will be two main types of books: THE BOOK OF LIFE and the OTHER BOOKS. There you see the book of life looking like one! But there are also other books, suggesting many, Lets briefly explore what these books really are;1) BOOK OF LIFE:As it describes itself is a book that describes LIFE, just as a book of mathematics describes mathematical methods, a book of geography explains geographical issues as well as all other books. And we know books tend to be split into different pages. But we see all these books we have in the world are only telling us the principles and techniques of many things about this world, and we see that no book in the world can explain the LIFE of man except the Bible ONLY! So, the book of life referred to here is the Bible which is the WORD of GOD.2) OTHER BOOKSWe find the Bible has referred to them as many, which in turn tell some information and not any more than of human beings according to the Bible. These are the BOOKS of men and every man has his own, describing his life as he lived on this earth since his birth to his death. And these books also have pages, which are the steps you go through here on earth, but all these books have no life in it, the book of Life is, but one, and that is why they all depend on that book to give a human destiny.
So what the book of Life describes is the rules and regulations of how a man should live on this earth in order to get that life embedded in it, so as human beings who write books of our lives we must write them to resemble that book of Life, the Bible, from our childhood to our departure from the world. our books are supposed to resemble this book, and that is the appearance of our names in the BOOK OF LIFE.So brother, how do you write your book? watch the time’s running out! do not say that I will receive Christ or that I will live a holy life until I reach a certain age or experience something. Know until now your book is being written and day by day you are opening a new pages and chapters, soon your book will be finish and closed, ready to be released on the day of Judgement And on the Day of Judgment the book of Life will be opened and yours will also be opened, compared, whether they are the same or not!. If your life in your book did not match that of that of life (i.e. the Bible, the WORD OF GOD) meaning there is NO LIFE in you, then your part will be in the lake of fire.
As a Christians every day we must compare our lives with the Bible. Make sure what we do is in accordance with the Book of Life. you are fully aware that prostitutes, fornicators, drunkards, revilers, idolaters, liars, gossipers, gays, lesbians, smokers, masturbation practitioners, pornographers, thieves, corrupters, sorcerers, bribes, murderers, etc., people like these are far from the book of LIFE, how do you expect to appear in the book if you do of those things?, remember the names mentioned there are not John, John or Mary but it is your life. read.
Revelation 21:27 (KJV)
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
To write correctly your book according to the book of life, remember it is not a one-day process. Every day one must check his life, not despise the gospel, if you hear the Word of God tonight, don’t harden your heart thinking there will come a time you will repent. If you live that life Never expect the match in one day, it requires life to live so that to write a better book which resemble that of life. The Lord said.
Luke 9:23 (NIV)
23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
My prayer is that you turn to God.Start writing your book well in your spare time on earth, daily comparing your book with thebible so that when your name called, will be seen in that book.
God bless you!

Is masturbation a sin?. And what about marrying? is it a solution for burning?, as the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 7:9 “ But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn”.
ANSWER: The Lord Jesus said that he that looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her in his heart. The sentence shows that sin does not originate from the body but originates from the heart, so sex also originates from the heart, then from the heart and then from the outside, so whatever is done in the body is the result of something already done in the soul, so fornication, masturbation, watching pornography it is the result of immorality that has already taken place in one’s heart.
Therefore MASTURBATION IS A SIN. And the only solution to get rid of that sin is to truly give your life to the Lord Jesus, and resolve to start a new life in Christ, and decide to stop practicing it no more.
, .. they wait for miracles to come and find themselves abandoned and still in their hearts are not turning away from sexual immorality … I want to tell you my God-searching brother, There is no prayer to get rid of that stuff in any person, in order for those things to go away, it is you to decide first to make a decision to stop those things and then the Lord will add you the power to overcome those things. Remember, the Bible says that all prostitutes are part of a lake of fire. And also about marrying the Bible is made clear in the book of
1 Corinthians 7: 1 “Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.”
1 Corinthians 7: 1 “Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.”
If you read carefully, verse 2 says “in order to avoid fornication” let every man should have his own wife … not because of avoiding lusts… but because of fornication… and fornication means having sex outside of marriage or before marriage, which means that, having a wife or husband does not prevent a person from developing a desire/lust … if one’s behavior is to desire/lust! That behavior will not stop even If he/she gets married … maybe he/she will avoid fornication only after he gets married because he will have his own wife/husband inside! But the desire to lust does not change.
So the only solution to stop the lust for the unmarried or married individual, is to surrender your life to Christ, and intend to give up sin,/ to leave sin by deeds..(remember God cannot help a person who has not purposely given up the wrong thing).
But if one intends to give up the desire to lust,and all the promiscuity, immorality, pornography, insults, words of worthless jokes, then the Holy Spirit comes upon him/her and helps him/her and thus finds that things never bother her again in his/her life..
Be blessed!

What is the meaning of being bewitched? and what about you? Are you bewitched?
You may be wondering the question. Can God’s people bewitched? .. The answer is Yes! The Bible says that they are bitten. And how are they bewitched?…Today we will learn how they are bewitched.
The concept of bewitched to God’s people is different from those interpreted by secular people. someone who has a long-term illness according to the current generation is wiched by witches and wizards, the person with dementia is automatically witched according to this generation, the person with certain weaknesses must be witched by someone somewhere etc.
But today we’re going to look at the basic meaning of the word “bewitched” in the Bible.
Let’s read.
Galatians 3:1 “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh”
Galatians 3:1 “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh”
If you read the whole book of Galatians you will see the Apostle Paul with the power of the Spirit was very rebuking these Christians who were in Galatia, hold on to the true teachings of Jesus Christ, as they were taught by the Apostles. But then they suddenly became distracted by strange teachings and beliefs, leaving the first true faith of the word of Christ and turning into a deceiving gospel.
So the tendency to abandon the first Faith and turn to the false teaching is what the bible defined as “being witched”. And wherever a person is bewitched there must be a WITCH or a WIZARD, to conduct that witchcraft.
So the Witches and Wizards of these Galatian Christians were their false teachers who were rising up, who were twisting the Word of God, making the people more religious rather than walking in the truth of the Word of God, teaching the people to observe the law carnally and without knowledge, which is contrary to the word … these are the ones that the Apostle Paul spoke of in …
Philippians 3:18 “(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself”
Philippians 3:18 “(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself”
These people are the one Apostle Paul mentioned in the very beginning of this book of Galatians that they were cursed…
Galatians 1: 6 “I MARVEL THAT YE ARE SO SOON REMOVED FROM HIM THAT CALLED YOU INTO THE GRACE OF CHRIST UNTO ANOTHER GOSPEL: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, LET HIM BE ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, LET HIM BE ACCURSED”
Galatians 1: 6 “I MARVEL THAT YE ARE SO SOON REMOVED FROM HIM THAT CALLED YOU INTO THE GRACE OF CHRIST UNTO ANOTHER GOSPEL:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, LET HIM BE ACCURSED”
Do you see what it means to be witched?.. Have you forsaken the Faith and turned to another gospel that tells you there is no salvation in the world?, Have you left the gospel that tells you without holiness no one will see God (Heb.12: 14), and turn to the gospel that tells you without being a member of some denominations you cannot enter heaven, can you?.
Have you given up the gospel that tells you to prostitutes, drunkards, idolaters, homosexuals, thieves they have part in the lake of fire and turn to the gospel that tells you that God cannot destroy in the lake of fire the people who he created?
Have you left the gospel that tells you after death is judgment (Heb.9: 27) and turns to the gospel that tells you that there is a second chance after death and that it is possible for the deceased to be prayed for after death to escape the torment of hell?
Have You have left the gospel that tells you that the mediator between God and men is one, the Lord Jesus Christ and turned to another gospel that tells you that there are other mediators, beside Jesus such as the Virgin Mary, or that there is another prophet whom God has chosen to send men to heaven?.
Dear brother/Sister, if you have left all that and more In addition to the truth of God’s Word and you have turned to things that are not in the Bible then you are BEWITCHED by that preacher !, you are BEWITCHED by that church!. Immediately start NOW reading the Bible.
Any sermon that after you have listened makes you feel a desire to do the things of the world More than to love the Word and seek to read it … That preacher is a WITCH/WIZARD. It does matter whether he perform miracle or not.
Any sermon that doesn’t give you any Morals to follow Jesus and further purify your life instead you get more morals for hating another, cursing another, seeking revenge on another, abandoning your spouse, committing adultery, and immorality, etc … so be aware that you have been WITCHED by that sermon and that preacher.
The greatest magic that the devil can do for a person is not bound him from succeeding and make him poor… that is the smallest level of satanic magic … The greatest magic he does is to MAKE PEOPLE NOT KNOWING CHRIST IN FULLNESS!, to make people blind in faith. , causing people to worship idols and offend God. That’s the greatest magic Satan is doing every day to destroy the world.
And his high-ranking staff, whom he loves and respects most are neither wizards, nor traditional healers these are low-staff members but His greatest army doing his great work with Greater tasts ARE THE FALSE PROPHETS AND THE ANTICHRISTS … Because this group of people turn God’s Word into a lie… They are his highest servants of satan. That is why the Bible did not say in the end times there would be many native magicians, or many false magicians, or many wizards … but it said there would be “many false prophets”. That means they are the devil highest ranking agents, and he uses them to destroy the souls of many men/women.
These are the most obvious servants of Satan, who pretend to be true prophets. These false prophets are only to prophesy all the time, but they never testify Jesus at all … John the Baptist who became the greatest prophet ” TESTIFYING JESUS ALONE”because he knew there is no life outside of Jesus. And all the other prophets were witnessing Jesus…
As the Bible says in Revelation 19: 10b “… for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”.
So we must be very careful. These are the end times. And our Lord returns soon.
The Lord bless you.

Is it a sin to get a tattoo?
إنكار ما يعني رفض رغباتك أو التخلي عن الأشياء التي تحبها من أجل شيء آخر. لذلك ، عندما يتحدث الكتاب المقدس عن إنكار الذات ، يعني إنكار كل شيء من أجل المسيح. بمجرد أن تكون على استعداد لاتباع المسيح يعني أنك على استعداد أيضًا للتخلي عن جميع الأشياء التي تحبها تقريبًا حتى لو كانت تبدو جيدة أمام عينيك. تضعهم ، وتحمل هؤلاء المسيح وحدهم. لهذا قال الرسول بولس.
7 لَكِنْ ما كانَ يُعْتَبَرُ رِبْحاً لي، أعتَبِرُهُ الآنَ خَسارةً مِنْ أجلِ المَسيحِ. 8 بَلْ إنِّي أعتَبِرُ كلَّ شَيءٍ خَسارَةً بِالمقارنةِ مَعَ الامْتِيازِ الفائِقِ لِمَعرِفَةِ المَسيحِ يَسوعَ ربّي. لهذا تَخلَّيتُ عَنْ كُلِّ شَيءٍ مِنْ أجلِهِ، وَأعتَبِرُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ نِفايَةً لِكَي أربَحَ المَسِيحَ،
انظر ، هذا هو العمود الأول الذي يثبت ، أن الإنسان قد اتبع يسوع حقًا. الأشخاص الذين يتوبون عن خطيتهم كثيرون ، لكن الأشخاص الذين قصدوا اتباع يسوع هم قليلون جدًا. بمجرد أن تصبح امرأة مسيحية ، يجب أن تكون مستعدًا لإسقاط جميع الفساتين والسراويل القصيرة التي كنت ترتديها قبل أن تأتي إلى المسيح ، وإلا ، لا تقل أنني مسيحي.
وينطبق الشيء نفسه على الرجال ، إذا كنت تدعي أنك اتبعت يسوع ، فتأكد من أنك قلت وداعًا للعالم ، وأنك قد أسقطت كل سجائرك ، وكل الكحول ، وكل صديقاتك في الماضي .. وجميع الأشياء الأخرى التي يمكن أن تبدو لتبدو جيدة أمام عينيك ولكن ليس أمام عيني يسوع.والآن عندما يرى الرب أنك قصدت إيقافهم بجدية. لقد جاء إليك الآن وجعلك تلميذه كما فعل مع تلاميذه الاثني عشر من بين المئات منهم الذين كانوا يتبعونه.
تذكر أن هذه يجب أن تكون عملية مستمرة ، كل يوم تنكر نفسك. حتى في القيام بعمل الله ، يجب أن تنكر نفسك .. في الوقت الذي كان من المفترض أن تكون فيه في عملك ، لقد ضحيت به من أجل الإنجيل … كما يتحدث الكتاب المقدس عن الصلاة ، يجب أن نصلي دائمًا حتى للتضحية سريرنا للصلاة. كل ما نعتقد أننا قادرون على فعله لله يحتاج إلى تضحية. يجب أن نفقد نفوسنا من أجل الله. ولكن قبل كل شيء ، قال الرب أننا سنجدها بدلاً من ذلك. لأنه قال ، إنه يعرف الخطط التي لديه من أجلنا ، وهي جيدة ، وسيئة ، لتعطينا الأمل في أيامنا الأخيرة.
لهذا السبب لا نشعر بالسوء ، عندما سمعنا أخبرنا بترك كل شيء وراءه من أجله .. نحن نعرف فوائده إن لم يكن في هذا العالم ، سوف نأتي لنراه في العالم قادمًا ، لأنه يعرف خطة جيدة لديه. من الأفضل أن يراكم الناس الذين فقدوا كل شيء من أجل المسيح بدلاً من أن تكسب العالم كله وتضيع الحياة الأبدية. ماذا سيفيدك؟
24 ثُمَّ قالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «إذا أرادَ أحَدٌ أنْ يَأتِيَ مَعِي، فَلا بُدَّ أنْ يُنكِرَ نَفسَهُ، وَأنْ يَرفَعَ الصَّلِيبَ المُعطَى لَهُ وَيَتبَعَنِي. 25 فَمَنْ يُرِيدُ أنْ يُخَلِّصَ حَياتَهُ، سَيَخسَرُها. أمّا مَنْ يَخسَرُ حَياتَهُ مِنْ أجلِي، فَسَيُجِدُها. 26 ماذا يَنتَفِعُ الإنسانُ لَوْ رَبِحَ العالَمَ كُلَّهُ، وَخَسِرَ نَفسَهُ؟ وَماذا يَستَطِيعُ الإنسانُ لِيَستَرِدَّ حَياتَهُ؟
ربنا يحميك

To deny means to reject your own desires or to give up the things you love for the sake of something else. Therefore, when the bible speaks of denying oneself, means denying everything for Christ’s sake. Once you are willing to follow Christ means you are willing also to give up almost all the things you love even if they seem to be good before your eyes. You put them down, and carry those of Christ alone. That’s why the apostle Paul said.
Philippians 3:7-8 (KJV)
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
See, this is number one pillar that proves, a person has truly followed Jesus. People who repent from their sin are many, but people who have meant to follow Jesus are very few. Once you became a Christian woman, you must be ready to drop all your short dresses and trousers which you were past wearing before you came to Christ, otherwise, don’t say I’m a Christian.
Same applies to men, If you claim to have followed Jesus, be sure you had said bye to the world, you had dropped all your cigarettes, all you alcohols, and all your girlfriends you past had..And all other things which can seem to look good before your eyes but not before Jesus’s eyes.
And now when the Lord sees you have meant to stop them seriously. He now came to you and make you his disciple just as he did to his 12 disciples among hundreds of them who were following him.
Remember that this should be a continuous process, every day you deny yourself. Even in doing God’s work, you are must deny yourself..The time when you were supposed to be on your business, you sacrificed it for the Gospel…As the bible also speak of praying, we ought to pray always even to sacrifice our bed for prayers. Everything which we think we can do for God, needs sacrifice. we must lose our souls for God. But above all, the lord said we will find them instead. Because he said, he knows the plans he had for us, are of good, and to of bad, to give us hope, in our last days.
That’s why we don’t feel bad, when we hear he told us to leave everything behind for his sake..We know its benefits if not in this world, we will come to see it in the world to come, Because he knows the good plan he had for us. It is better to be seen by people you lost everything for Christ’s sake than to gain all the world and lost eternal life. What will benefit you?
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

QUESTION: May I understand, what do the words above the cross of the Lord Jesus (I.N.R.I)/INRI mean?, I have always seen in the pictures of the Cross, but I do not find it anywhere in the Bible?
ANSWER: When we read the book of John chapter 19 verses 19-20 the Bible says.
“And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The Jews. 20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin”.
“And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The Jews.
20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin”.
As we read, On the cross of the Lord Jesus, Pilate wrote a title which explains who he was. Now the words “JESUS the Nazarene, the King of the Jews”… in Latin (or, Roman), it reads … “Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum.” Or shortly I.N.R.I…
Now most of the denominations, especially Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran, like to use that word INRI to represent the words written on the cross of Jesus.
But the fact is that on the cross, the words were not written in short, but they were written in the same way as it was in all three languages, so that everyone who passed by could read it, and that’s why the Pharisees told Pilate, “Do not write, that this is the King of the Jews; but write that he calls himself, the king of the Jews” … You see? it implies that the texts were completely read and not that it was written in short.
But despite all of this, examining the cross in shape, color or texture..investigating it whether it was too long, or too short, or that it was a plus sign, or that it stood as a pillar, or that its writing was written in blue or yellow ink, all that are all less important because they don’t contribute to our salvation? Because even in the same Word JESUS THE NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS, if you read another gospel you will see it says only the KING OF JEWS (Mark 15:26), and another part says THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS (Luke 23:38). Therefore if you translate in Latin (Roman) you will find it quite different from the INRI acronym.
Now that is to teach us that what we need to know is that Christ was crucified on a tree, and that His crucifixion brought about the sinful remission of our lives. This is the essence of the cross, and that anyone who believes in Jesus Christ will receive the remission of his/her sins and the redemption of his/her life, so we should not look at the cross, and glorify it until it has led others to the point of worshiping it and fear it, which is a great abomination in the sight of God. God.

EVERY ONE SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF
WHAT IS THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL?
WHO IS THIS MELCHIZEDEK (Melchisedec)?
SWALI: Naomba kufahamu,Yale maneno yanayookana juu ya msalaba wa Bwana Yesu (I.N.R.I) yana maana gani, Nimekuwa nikiyaona kwenye picha za msalaba lakini siyaoni mahali popote kwenye biblia?.
JIBU: Tukisoma kitabu cha Yohana sura ya 19 mstari wa 19-20 inasema..
“Naye Pilato akaandika anwani, akaiweka juu ya msalaba, imeandikwa, YESU MNAZARETI, MFALME WA WAYAHUDI.
20 Basi anwani hiyo waliisoma wengi katika Wayahudi; maana mahali pale aliposulibiwa Yesu palikuwa karibu na mji; nayo iliandikwa kwa Kiebrania, na Kirumi, na Kiyunani”.
Kama tunavyosoma,. Pale juu ya msalaba wa Bwana Yesu, Pilato alingongelea kibao ambacho kilikuwa kinamwelezea kuwa yeye ni nani,.. Sasa maneno hayo YESU MNAZARETI, MFALME WA WAYAHUDI kwa Kilatino (au, Kirumi) yanasomeka hivi…”Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum.” Na kifupi chake ndio hiyo I.N.R.I…
Sasa madhehebu mengi hususani, Katoliki, Anglikana na Lutheran, wanapenda kutumia Ufipisho huo wa lugha ya kilatino (kirumi), kiyawakilisha yale maneno yaliyoandikwa juu ya msalaba wa Yesu.
Lakini Ukweli ni kwamba juu ya msalaba, hayakuandikwa maneno yale katika ufupisho wowote, bali yaliandikwa vile vile kama yalivyokuwa tena kwa lugha zote tatu, ili kila mtu aliyepita aweze kuyasoma, na ndio maana wale Mafarisayo wakamwambia Pilato. Usiandike, kuwa huyu ni Mfalme wa Wayahudi; bali andika kuwa yeye ndio anajiita, mfalme wa Wayahudi…Unaona ikiashiria kwamba maandishi yale yalikuwa yanasomeka kabisa na sio kwamba yameandikwa kwa kifupisho fulani.
Lakini pamoja na hayo yote, kujua au kutokuja msalaba ulikuwaje, kwamba ulikuwa ni mrefu sana, au ni mfupi sana, au ulikuwa ni wa alama ya kujumlisha, au ni wa nguzo iliyosimama, au kwamba maandishi yake yaliandikwa kwa wino wa bluu au wa njano, Hayo yote hayachangii chochote katika wokovu wetu?? Kwasababu hata katika Neno hilo hilo YESU MNAZARETI, MFALME WA WAYAHUDI, ukisoma injili nyingine utaona linasema tu MFALME WA WAYAHUDI(Marko 15:26), na sehemu nyingine linasema HUYU NDIYE MFALME WA WAYAHUDI(Luka 23:38)..Unaona sasa ukiyatafsiri hayo katika lugha ya kilatino (kirumi) utaona ni tofauti kabisa na hiyo yenye kifupisho cha INRI.
Sasa Hiyo yote ni kutufundisha kuwa tunachopaswa kujua ni kwamba Kristo alisulibiwa juu ya mti, na kwamba kusulibiwa kwake kumeleta ondoleo la dhambi la maisha yetu. Hicho ndicho kiini cha msalaba, na kwamba yoyote amwaminiye Yesu Kristo atapata ondoleo la dhambi zake na ukombozi wa Maisha yake, Hivyo tusiitazame misalaba sana, na kuipa heshima mpaka sasa imeshawafanya wengine wafikie hatua ya kuiabudu na kuisujudia..jambo ambalo ni machukizo makubwa mbele za Mungu.
Ubarikiwe.

الجواب: يشورون هو اسم آخر لأمة إسرائيل يستخدم في الكتاب المقدس اليهودي ، وخاصة في القصائد. تظهر هذه الكلمة 4 مرات في قراءة الكتاب المقدس (تثنية 32:15 ، 33:26 ، 33: 5 وإشعياء 44: 2).لذا إذا عدنا إلى تثنية 32: 15-18انها تقول ..
15 «لَكِنَّ يَشْرُونَ [a] سَمِنَ وَرَفَسَ! صارَ سَمِيناً وَغَلِيظاً وَكَثِيرَ الشَّحمِ. تَرَكَ اللهَ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ، وَرَفَضَ صَخْرَةَ خَلاصِهِ.16 وَأثارَ غَيْرَتَهُ بِآلِهَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ، وَأغضَبَهُ بِأصنامٍ كَرِيهَةٍ.17 وَذَبَحُوا لِأرواحٍ لَيسَتْ آلِهَةً، وَذَبَحُوا لِآلِهَةٍ لَمْ يَكُونوا يَعرِفُونَها.آلِهَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ ظَهَرَتْ حَدِيثاً، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ آباؤكُمْ يَعرِفُونَ عَنْها.18 أهمَلْتَ الصَّخْرَةَ الَّتِي وَلَدَتْكَ، وَنَسِيتَ الَّذِي تَمَخَّضَ بِكَ.
هذه الكلمات تكلم موسى في البرية ، كنبوة لإظهار كيف ستنسى إسرائيل إلههم قريباً عندما يأتون إلى أرض الموعد ، أرض اللبن والعسل ، إلى رخائهم ، إلى أرض ولادتهم ، أرض لا المزيد من الصحاري ، ولا للأكل من نفس الطعام ، الأرض للتجارة والازدهار والثراء ، لأنهم سينسون إلههم الذي أخرجهم من أرض مصر ، سينسون الإله الذي وثقوا به في الصحراء عندما كانوا جائعين ، سوف يحتقرونه ويتحولون إلى آلهة أخرى. وحدثت النبوة بالضبط كما تنبأ موسى في المستقبل عندما وصلوا إلى أرض الميعاد.لذا إذا قابلت كلمة يشورون ، فهذا الآن اسم آخر لإسرائيل.حتى اليوم ، من الشائع أن يبحث الناس عن الله في أوقات الصعوبة فقط ، ولكن عندما ينجحون ، أو عندما لا يحتاجون إلى شيء ، فإنهم يتمتعون بصحة جيدة ، ولديهم ثروة ، ولم يعد الله ملجأ لهم. لهذا السبب قال الرب يسوع أن دخول الإبل إلى إبرة أسهل من دخول رجل غني إلى ملكوت الله. هذا لا يعني أننا لا يجب أن نكون أغنياء ولكن يجب أن نستخدم الحكمة في مطالبة الله أن يعطينا ما هو في قدرتنا ، لئلا نصبح بدناء مثل Jeshurun وننسى الله ، كما نصحنا Agur الابن يا جيكه في الأمثال 30 : 9.

Shalom, Nini kinachokufanya umfuate Yesu au uende kanisani?..Je moyo wako ni mnyofu mbele za Mungu?
Katika biblia, Agano jipya tunamsoma Mchawi mmoja aliyeitwa Simoni, ambaye alikuwa akifanya uchawi, na kuwadanganya watu, mpaka watu wakaamini kuwa anatumiwa na Mungu kufanya ishara zile, na alijigamba kuwa yeye ni Mtu Mkubwa (wa Mungu)...mpaka mji wote ukadanganyika na kumwamini. Lakini huyu Simoni aliposikia injili aliamini na akabatizwa…Lakini Nia yake ya ndani haikuwa kugeuka na kuacha dhambi zake za uchawi bali kuongeza nguvu zake za kichawi..Yaani maana yake alimwamini Yesu, ili apate kuongeza nguvu za kufanya miujiza na si kwasababu anautaka wokovu.
Ndugu mpendwa kigezo cha mtu kumkiri Yesu au kubatizwa sio tiketi pekee ya kukubaliwa na Bwana Yesu. Linahitajika jambo lingine na ziada, nalo ni “badiliko la kweli la ndani”.
Huyu Simoni mara ya kwanza alikuwa ni mchawi ambaye alijifanya ni mtumishi wa Mungu, lakini baadaye alipoona ukristo umeingia mahali pale akaona sasa ameshapata vazi jipya la kufunika kazi yake hiyo ya uchawi.
Hebu soma kwa makini habari ifuatayo usiruke kipengele hata kimoja…
Matendo 8:9 “Na mtu mmoja, jina lake Simoni, hapo kwanza alikuwa akifanya uchawi katika mji ule, akiwashangaza watu wa taifa la Wasamaria, akisema ya kuwa yeye ni mtu mkubwa. 10 Wote wakamsikiliza tangu mdogo hata mkubwa, wakisema, Mtu huyu ni uweza wa Mungu, ule Mkuu. 11 Wakamsikiliza, kwa maana amewashangaza muda mwingi kwa uchawi wake. 12 Lakini walipomwamini Filipo, akizihubiri habari njema za ufalme wa Mungu, na jina lake Yesu Kristo, wakabatizwa, wanaume na wanawake. 13 Na yeye Simoni mwenyewe aliamini akabatizwa, akashikamana na Filipo; akashangaa alipoziona ishara na miujiza mikubwa inayotendeka 14 Na mitume waliokuwako Yerusalemu, waliposikia ya kwamba Samaria imelikubali neno la Mungu, wakawapelekea Petro na Yohana; 15 ambao waliposhuka, wakawaombea wampokee Roho Mtakatifu; 16 kwa maana bado hajawashukia hata mmoja wao, ila wamebatizwa tu kwa jina lake Bwana Yesu. 17 Ndipo wakaweka mikono yao juu yao, nao wakampokea Roho Mtakatifu. 18 Hata Simoni alipoona ya kuwa watu wanapewa Roho Mtakatifu kwa kuwekewa mikono ya mitume, akataka kuwapa fedha akisema, 19 Nipeni na mimi uwezo huu, ili kila mtu nitakayemweka mikono yangu, apokee Roho Mtakatifu. 20 Lakini Petro akamwambia, Fedha yako na ipotelee mbali pamoja nawe, kwa kuwa umedhania ya kuwa karama ya Mungu yapatikana kwa mali. 21 Huna fungu wala huna sehemu katika jambo hili, kwa kuwa MOYO WAKO SI MNYOFU MBELE ZA MUNGU. 22 Basi, tubia uovu wako huu, ukamwombe Bwana, ili kama yamkini, usamehewe fikira hii ya moyo wako. 23 Kwa maana nakuona u katika uchungu kama nyongo, na tena u katika kifungo cha uovu”
Matendo 8:9 “Na mtu mmoja, jina lake Simoni, hapo kwanza alikuwa akifanya uchawi katika mji ule, akiwashangaza watu wa taifa la Wasamaria, akisema ya kuwa yeye ni mtu mkubwa.
10 Wote wakamsikiliza tangu mdogo hata mkubwa, wakisema, Mtu huyu ni uweza wa Mungu, ule Mkuu.
11 Wakamsikiliza, kwa maana amewashangaza muda mwingi kwa uchawi wake.
12 Lakini walipomwamini Filipo, akizihubiri habari njema za ufalme wa Mungu, na jina lake Yesu Kristo, wakabatizwa, wanaume na wanawake.
13 Na yeye Simoni mwenyewe aliamini akabatizwa, akashikamana na Filipo; akashangaa alipoziona ishara na miujiza mikubwa inayotendeka
14 Na mitume waliokuwako Yerusalemu, waliposikia ya kwamba Samaria imelikubali neno la Mungu, wakawapelekea Petro na Yohana;
15 ambao waliposhuka, wakawaombea wampokee Roho Mtakatifu;
16 kwa maana bado hajawashukia hata mmoja wao, ila wamebatizwa tu kwa jina lake Bwana Yesu.
17 Ndipo wakaweka mikono yao juu yao, nao wakampokea Roho Mtakatifu.
18 Hata Simoni alipoona ya kuwa watu wanapewa Roho Mtakatifu kwa kuwekewa mikono ya mitume, akataka kuwapa fedha akisema,
19 Nipeni na mimi uwezo huu, ili kila mtu nitakayemweka mikono yangu, apokee Roho Mtakatifu.
20 Lakini Petro akamwambia, Fedha yako na ipotelee mbali pamoja nawe, kwa kuwa umedhania ya kuwa karama ya Mungu yapatikana kwa mali.
21 Huna fungu wala huna sehemu katika jambo hili, kwa kuwa MOYO WAKO SI MNYOFU MBELE ZA MUNGU.
22 Basi, tubia uovu wako huu, ukamwombe Bwana, ili kama yamkini, usamehewe fikira hii ya moyo wako.
23 Kwa maana nakuona u katika uchungu kama nyongo, na tena u katika kifungo cha uovu”
Sasa watu wa namna hii wapo wengi katika kanisa. Hususani katika hizi siku za mwisho, ambapo kwa asili ni waganga wa kienyeji, wengine ni wachawi wana mapepo ya utambuzi na bado wanazipenda kazi zao za kuagua, zinawapatia faida nyingi..hivyo wanapouona ukristo wa kweli unahubiriwa wanaona kama ni vazi jipya na hivyo wanakwenda kubatizwa na kusimama mimbarani kuendelea na uaguzi wao, wengine sio wachawi lakini ni wanasiasa tu ambao wanaona wakifanya siasi kwa vazi la uanasiasa hawafikii kirahisi malengo yao, hivyo wanajigeuza na kuwa wakristo ili waendeleze siasa zao katika madhabahu ya Mungu.
Na sio tu kwenye eneo zima la utumishi, bali hata walio waumini, wapo wengine wengine wanakwenda tu kanisani kwasababu wanashida ya wachumba kwasababu wameambiwa wachumba wazuri watawapata kanisani, lakini mioyoni mwao hawana habari na Kristo. Wanakubali kubatizwa kuwasababu wamesikia kwa kufanya hivyo mambo yao ya kimaisha yataenda sawa, kama tu huyu Simoni mchawi.
Wengine wanakwenda tu kwasababu ni siku nyingi hawajaenda kanisani, hivyo wanataka angalau waende mara moja moja kwa mwezi au mwaka, lakini ndani ya mioyo yao hawana nia na Mungu wala hawana mpango wa kubadilisha mtindo wa Maisha yao na kufanyika kiumbe kipya kwasababu mioyo yao sio minyoofu mbele za Mungu.
Wengine wanakwenda kwa nia tu ya kuonyesha mavazi yao, kila wanaponunua vazi jipya, wanawaza ni wapi watakwenda kujionyesha?..wanagundua ni kanisani..Hivyo kanisa ni kama kioo chao,…wengine wanapenda tu kukusanyika kwenye jumuiya ya watu wengi hawapendi kukaa wenyewe wenyewe, wanapenda kwenda kusikiliza vichekesho na kupata burudani za nyimbo za kwaya..wengine wanapenda kufanyiwa uaguzi, akipitia vita kidogo, au hasara kidogo katika Maisha yake anakwenda kumtafuta mbaya wake kwa waganga wa kienyeji..sasa akipata kanisa ambalo linatoa huduma kama hizo ndipo anapokita mizizi hapo lakini yeye hana mpango na kumwondoa Adui mkubwa wa dhambi katika Maisha yake.
Sasa kundi lote hili ndio linalojumuisha “Manabii na Makristo wa uongo watakaotokea siku za mwisho”…Wengi wanafikiri Manabii wa uongo ni wale tu wanaosimama pale madhabahuni na kujiita manabii…hapana sio hao tu, hata wachungaji wasio na nia ya Kristo biblia inawaita manabii wa uongo, hata waalimu wanaopotosha biblia inawapa jina moja hilo hilo ambalo ni manabii wa uongo, hata waimbaji walio kinyume na Neno la Mung una wanaopotosha watu wa nyimbo zao na mavazi yao na Maisha yao..jina lao ni hilo hilo “manabii wa uongo au makristo wa uongo”..
Hali kadhalika hata Waumini ambao wanakwenda kanisani kwa nia ambayo sio ya Kristo mioyoni mwao jina lao ni hilo hilo “manabii wa uongo na makristo wa uongo” kwasababu wanawadanganya watu wa nje na waumini wenzao walio waaminifu kwamba wameokoka kumbe ndani hawana nia ya Kristo. Hivyo manabii wa uongo ni jina la ujumla..kuwafunua wale wote ambao wanajifanya wana uhusiano na Imani ya Kikristo na kumbe ndani yao ni maadui wa Msalaba.
Je na wewe upo kwenye kundi gani?..la makristo wa uongo au wa kweli?..Kama unakwenda kanisani kwasababu ya kutafuta majumba, mke au mali…wewe sio nabii wa uongo???…Je uasherati umeuacha?, je matusi umeyaacha, rushwa umeziacha, wizi umeuacha?, usengenyaji umeuacha?, kuishi na mwanamke/mwanamume ambaye humjafunga ndoa bado unaendelea kuishi naye?, ..kama bado hujaacha hayo yote kwanini unajiita mkristo?..huoni kama wewe utakuwa ni mkristo wa uongo?..uliyetabiriwa kutokea siku za mwisho?, ambao mtawadanganya wengi?..
Unatoa fedha nyingi kanisani ili upokee baraka kwenye kazi yako haramu ya uuzaji wa pombe..wewe una tofauti gani na huyu Simoni mchawi ambaye anataka kuwapa fedha wakina Petro ili na yeye awe na uwezo wa kuwawekea watu mikono washukiwe na nguvu za Mungu..Lakini wakina Petro walimwambia..
“20 Lakini Petro akamwambia, Fedha yako na ipotelee mbali pamoja nawe, kwa kuwa umedhania ya kuwa karama ya Mungu yapatikana kwa mali. 21 Huna fungu wala huna sehemu katika jambo hili, kwa kuwa MOYO WAKO SI MNYOFU MBELE ZA MUNGU.”

21 Huna fungu wala huna sehemu katika jambo hili, kwa kuwa MOYO WAKO SI MNYOFU MBELE ZA MUNGU.”
Lakini pamoja na hayo, pengine ulifanya hayo yote pasipo kujua…ulikuwa unakwenda kanisani nusu uchi kwasababu hukupata kufahamu kuwa unafanya dhambi, ulikuwa unafanya biashara haramu na huku unakwenda kutafa baraka kwa kazi hiyo kanisani kwasababu ulikuwa hujui. Kristo anakupenda na bado unauwezo wa kutengeneza upya na kuwa kipenzi cha Mungu..Unachopaswa kufanya ni kutubu tu!..Toba ni kila mtu anatubu, haijalishi ni mchungaji, mwalimu, au Nabii..wote tunatubu..na Mungu anapendezwa na mtu mwenye kunyenyekea..
Hivyo tubia mambo hayo yote kama ulikuwa unayafanya..na kisha usiyafanye tena..Baada ya kutubu na kudhamiria kuanza Maisha mapya na Kristo, nenda katafute ubatizo sahihi mahali popote ili upate kukamilisha wokovu wako, kumbuka ubatizo ni muhimu, na ni lazima uwe wa Maji tele (Yohana 3:23) na kwa jina la Yesu Kristo (Matendo 2:38).
Na moyo wako utakuwa mnyofu mbele za Bwana na utafanyika kuwa mwanafunzi wa kweli wa Yesu, na Roho Mtakatifu mwenyewe atakuongoza kufanya yaliyosalia.
Bwana akubariki.

Question: Who is this Jeshurun in the Bible? And why did he become fat and despise the rock of his salvation (Deut. 32:15)?
Answer: Jeshurun is another name for the nation of Israel used in the Jewish Bible, particularly in the poems. This word appears 4 times in the Bible read (Deuteronomy 32:15, 33:26, 33: 5 and Isaiah 44: 2).So if we go back to Deuteronomy 32:15-18 (KJV)It says ..
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. ”
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. ”
These words Moses spoke in the wilderness, as a prophecy to show how Israel will soon forget their God when they come to the promised land, The lando of milk and honey, to their prosperity, to the land of their birth, the land of no more deserts, nor to eat of the same food, the land to trade and prosper and become rich, In for that they will forget their God who brought them out of the land of Egypt, they will forget the God they trusted in the desert when they were hungry, they will despise him and turn to other gods. And the prophecy came to pass exactly just as Moses predicted In the future when they arrived in the promised land.
So if you meet that Word Yeshurun, now that is another name for Israel.Even today it is common for people to seek God in times of difficulty only, but when they are successful , or when they need nothing, they are healthy, they have wealth, God is no longer a refuge for them. That is why the Lord Jesus said it is easier for a camel to penetrate a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. It does not mean we should not be rich but we must use wisdom in asking God to give us what is in our ability, lest we become as fat as Jeshurun and forget God, as Agur the son o Jakeh advised us in Proverbs 30:9.
Proverbs 30:8-9 (KJV)
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: 9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
Be blessed ..
