AND THEY TOOK HIS GARMENTS,AND MADE FOUR PARTS.
John 19:23 “Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
Have you ever wondered why the Bible was not silent about Jesus’ clothing at Golgotha, and how it was voted? Until it reaches the point of division into four (4) verses for the four soldiers who were there on the cross.?.
And the 5th one which is his coat to be voted on ?. It was not only written to make a story, that Jesus had five garments, but there was a heavy meaning behind it.
That is to show that he was not left with any clothes when he was crucified. He was crucified completely naked. It is impossible for some clothes to be cast, and divided, and then some are left to be nailed to the cross, the Scriptures do not show us that. What we see on the carved crosses or on the arrow that the Lord Jesus was crucified with a piece of cloth to cover him, is not true. The fact is that he was crucified completely naked . However in the time of Rome all criminals who were executed by crucifixion had to be crucified naked, so that they would not only die in torture but also die in shame.
Have you ever wondered why Christ allowed all this to happen to him, when he was completely able to avoid it? Do you think that was a shameful act?. It was a very shameful act, which I am sure even you would have been present when you would not have even dared to look at him on the cross in that state. But he did not feel shame, being kept naked, as long as you and I were saved. That is an extreme commitment.
He was not ashamed of me, nor was he ashamed of you, on the contrary the bible tells us he despised shame,
Hebrews 12: 2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God”.
You see, if you think it over, my brethren, you will see no reason for you to be ashamed of your Lord, in this evil world. You will not be ashamed to be called a non updated person, for him, you will see no reason to be afraid to proclaim his gospel.
Paul said ..
Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek”.
He also told Timothy the same words;
2Timothy 1:8a “Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord…”
This is not the time to think about how someone will see me, or how my friends will treat me, or how my neighbors will talk about me if I give my life to Christ.
Remember Jesus was not ashamed of you, when He was crucified naked in front of a crowd, in front of thousands of people at Golgotha, why are you ashamed of Him when you have not even reached the point of being stripped naked on the street for Him?
If you reject Him today when you come He will reject you as well.
Mark 8:38 “Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels”.
Make a picture of you standing in front of millions upon millions of angels, and then Christ is ashamed of you in front of them, how will you feel? Over this bad situation,
So take up your cross and carry yourself to follow Christ. These are the last days, he is at the door to return. If you have not yet repented then this is your time, believe in Him and be baptized in the proper baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins and He will give you His Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth.
If you need to be saved, then contact us at the numbers below, and we will assist you in that.
The Lord bless you very much.

AKETIYE MAHALI PA SIRI PAKE ALIYE JUU.
Huu mstari una maana gani?
Zaburi 91:1 “Aketiye mahali pa siri pake Aliye juu Atakaa katika uvuli wake Mwenyezi”.
Maandiko hayo yanatuonyesha kumbe Mungu anao uvuli wake. Na uvuli huo hawakai watu wote ilimradi tu, bali wale tu wanaokaa katika mahali pake pa siri.
Sasa swali utajiuliza huko mahali pake pa siri ni wapi?
Kuna madaraja ya kumfikia Mungu, yapo yanayofikiwa na wakristo wa kawaida tu, wale wanaomtafuta Mungu jumapili kwa jumapili, au mwezi kwa mwezi, lakini pia yapo yanayofikiwa na wakristo waliojikana, na kudhamiria kumfuata Kristo katika Maisha yao.
Hao wanaojikana ndio wanaofikia mahali pa siri pa Mungu.
Wanafananisha na makuhani, ambao, katika ile hema ya kukutania, au hekalu la Mungu, ni wao tu walikuwa na uwezo wa kupaingia patakatifu, na kule patakatifu pa patakatifu, palipo na kile kiti cha rehema cha Mungu.Kumbuka si kila mwisraeli, alifika pale, si kila mtu anayejiona anamcha Mungu aliweza kufika pale, kwa mtu wa kawaida ukijitahidi sana, uliishia katika ule ua wa hema ya kukutanikia, lakini ndani, sehemu za siri za Mungu walioweza kuingia makuhani tu.
Vivyo hivyo katika agano jipya, Mungu anao sehemu yake ya siri, na ni watu baadhi tu wanaoweza kufika huko, Mfano hai katika biblia ni mwanamke kama ANA, yeye, aliweza kupafikia hapo..na ndio maana alikuwa miongoni mwa watu wachache sana waliofunuliwa mpango wa Mungu wa wokovu,yaani kuja kwake Yesu duniani..
Lakini hiyo yote ni kwasababu alikuwa ni mwanamke aliyeupoteza ubinti wake, autumie kwa Mungu hadi uzee wake, haundoki hekaluni, mchana na usiku akisali na kufunga.
Luka 2:36 “Palikuwa na nabii mke, jina lake Ana, binti Fanueli, wa kabila ya Asheri, na umri wake ulikuwa miaka mingi, alikuwa amekaa na mume miaka saba baada ya uanawali wake.
37 Naye ni mjane wa miaka themanini na minne; haondoki katika hekalu, ila huabudu usiku na mchana kwa kufunga na kuomba.
38 Huyu alitokea saa ile ile akamshukuru Mungu, na wote waliokuwa wakiutarajia ukombozi katika Yerusalemu akawatolea habari zake”.
Mwingine, ni Simeoni, naye pia biblia inasema alikuwa ni mtu wa haki, na anaye mcha Mungu, tena Zaidi alikuwa anautazamia wokovu wa taifa lake Israeli, yaani wakati wayahudi wapo bize na mali na fedha, yeye alikuwa kama Danieli, akiomba na kutafuta Habari za kuja kwa masihi duniani.
Luka 2:25 “Na tazama, pale Yerusalemu palikuwa na mtu, jina lake Simeoni, naye ni mtu mwenye haki, mcha Mungu, akiitarajia faraja ya Israeli; na Roho Mtakatifu alikuwa juu yake.
26 Naye alikuwa ameonywa na Roho Mtakatifu ya kwamba hataona mauti kabla ya kumwona Kristo wa Bwana.
27 Basi akaja hekaluni ameongozwa na Roho; na wale wazazi walipomleta mtoto Yesu ndani, ili wamfanyie kama ilivyokuwa desturi ya sheria,
28 yeye mwenyewe alimpokea mikononi mwake, akamshukuru Mungu, akisema,
29 Sasa, Bwana, wamruhusu mtumishi wako, Kwa amani, kama ulivyosema;
30 Kwa kuwa macho yangu yameuona wokovu wako”,
Makundi ya watu kama hawa, huwa wanaonjeshwa kitu kingine tofauti na watu wa kawaida, huo ndio uvuli wake Mungu. Wanapewa mafunuo ya ndani sana, wanapewa ulinzi wa majeshi ya Malaika wengi,mfano Elisha, wanajaliwa haja za mioyo yao na Mungu. Kwasababu tayari wapo chini ya uvuli wake.
Je! Na sisi tunaweza kufikia mahali hapo?
Kama jibu ni ndio,
Basi hatuna budi, kufanana na makuhani wa Mungu kweli, wana wa Lawi, ambao wametengwa na dhambi na unajisi, Si tu kumkiri Kristo na kuendelea kuishi Maisha ya juu juu, bali tujikane na nafsi zetu pia kwake, yaani tuwe tayari kujitwika na misalaba yetu tumfate Kristo. Tukubali ulimwengu utupite na mambo yake yote.
Na kwa kufanya hivyo kwa neema zake, atatufikisha mahali pake pa siri.
Bwana atusaidie sote.
Amen.

MESSENGER OF THE COVENANT
Blessed be the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Welcome to the Bible.
Malachi 3:1 “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts”.
God’s plan in saving mankind is divided into two parts. Old Testament (in other language is the first Covenant), and New Testament ( or second Covenant).
Yes, is there must be two pieces to complete a living being. And one side must be stronger than the other… For example the human body is divided into two identical parts… Left and right side… That is why you will see a person with two legs, eyes two, two hands, etc. And if you continue to explore you will see too..in those two parts there is one side is more capable than the other..yes you will see a person who can write well with only one hand, and if he tries to use the other side it becomes a little trouble .. so he can even kick something more willingly through the same side he uses his hand to write etc.
But when both sides work together the ability becomes greater..a person lifting something with both hands is more successful than one who uses one hand. Etc.
And the bible is divided into two main parts..The New Testament and the Old Testament. The new covenant is stronger and more powerful than the old covenant.
Althoughboth covenants must be united in order to fulfill God’s purpose. Just as we cannot say we do not need the left hand because it is weaker than the right, or we do not need the left leg because it is weaker than the right..no .. both have their significance .
Now the Old Testament its messenger was the Prophet Moses He was the one who was given the commandments and the laws to preach to the people of Israel. And the law was written upon stone, and in wood.
Moses preached that,’DO NOT commit adultery because the law says people should not commit adultery. People should not steal because the laws says di not steal. That means there is some text to go through so that to understand God’s commandments.
This is the first covenant… The laws were written somewhere.
But the second covenant whose messenger is Jesus Christ..as the scripture says in..
Hebrews 12:24 “And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel”.
He (Jesus) does not write the laws of God on stones and wood give them on us as Moses did… but in the depths of the hearts of the people he writes them… The law is already written in him. There is something that testifies in him and teaches him that homosexuality is an abomination to God without even going to read anywhere… that is the laws of God are written in his heart.
There are certain lessons flowing through it even through the things of nature so that the person is able to do the will of God without even being influenced or imposed rules and regulations and certain commands to follow as a child. He becomes everything he does he knows the reason for it.
It is like a person who is mentally mature where he knows he is just sweating he needs to go take a shower and change his clothes… he does not have a biology book in front of him that he walks with and goes back every day and finds a place where one says he must bath then he must be a traveler that there are already lessons in the importance of keeping oneself clean without even being taught by anyone.
He does not need a biological textbook to teach him the importance of bathing, he does not need to be preached to every corner the importance of bathing. There is no need to be a seminar and reminded… Because he knows his responsibilities..first he himself will find himself wanting to be clean… And every day you will be more .
And so it is the way the New Testament works… it makes one seek to be pure (Holy) without being bound by law or being influenced..it makes one see in him that there is every reason for him to keep away from the filth of this world, to keep away from luxury, Fornication, blasphemy, homosexuality, theft… It further makes him see the reason for him to wash his soul daily by studying the Word and prayer… This covenant does not need to daily remind man of his responsibility. compulsory. And that’s all motivated by the Holy Spirit that’ll come into a person.
You will ask where in the scriptures, this Law covenant written in our hearts was prophesied?
Hebrews 8: 8 “For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
You see that this is the new covenant!… If you want to find out where in the bible God forbids smoking it is obvious that this covenant has not yet entered you. this is not in you, if you look in the bible it is written do not abort it is a sin, or do not use drugs. It the same as finding in biological book where it says people do not need to brush their teeth.
Do you want to enter into this covenant today? You must accept Jesus in your life first, when you accept him he will be in you and remove an old attitudes in you and makes them new one. He will renew your mind with the Holy Spirit that will make you easy to keep God’s commandments are not difficult. And you will find that being holy is not difficult.
You see little children bothering to bath themselves until you force them. But an adult has been bathing even 3 times a day for 20 years..and he never gets tired? .. So will you Jesus Christ do in you… He will turn your mind to His Holy Spirit and become like an adult… you will not even want to smell the immorality, or the insults, nor the bitterness, nor the slander, nor the masturbation, nor the pornography on the Internet, nor the alcohol. And on top of that he will give you eternal life.
Hebrews 9:15 “And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance”.
If you want today a Messenger will come into you and make you…
Then the decision you make is very wise that you will not regret it for the rest of your life as it did for us. All you need to do is give them an outlet and the support they need to keep going. Then kneel, then follow this prayer in Faith, knowing that God is near you by your side to hear you. Then when you are now in silence Say this prayer aloud.
Oh GOD THE FATHER, I AM COMING BEFORE YOU, WHILE I AM AWARE I AM A WRONG AND I HAVE SINNED MANY SINS, AND THAT I DESERVE JUDGMENT. BUT YOU MY GOD SAID IN YOUR WORD THAT YOU ARE A GOD OF MERCY WHO IS MERCIFUL THOUSANDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU. AND TODAY I AM COMING BEFORE YOU I NEED YOUR FORGIVENESS AND YOUR HELP MY GOD, I REPENT OF ALL MY SINS IN MEANING AND WITH ALL MY HEART,.
I CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, AND HE IS THE SAVIOR OF THIS WORLD. SO I PRAY FOR THE BLOOD OF YOUR HOLY SON TO CLEANSE ALL MY EVIL NOW AND MAKE ME A NEW CREATURE FROM TODAY AND FOREVER.
THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR RECEIVING ME AND FORGIVING ME.
AMEN.
Now if you have followed that prayer by Faith .. The only step left for you is to prove your repentance in action if you were doing all the things that are not pleasing to God you are giving up and separating yourself from it eternal abode for you.
You also need to find a spiritual church that you will join with other Christians in worshiping God in Spirit and in Truth, and studying the Bible to grow in salvation. And so you can get the proper baptism by immersion in many water and in the name of JESUS CHRIST for the remission of your sins.
Be Blessed.

Bushuti ni nini?
Neno Bushuti limeonekana mara moja tu katika biblia, na maana ya Neno hilo ni “Blanketi”.
Waamuzi 4:18 “Yaeli akatoka kwenda kumlaki Sisera, akamwambia, Karibu Bwana wangu, karibu kwangu; usiogope. Akakaribia kwake hemani, naye akamfunika kwa bushuti”.
Kipindi Sisera, Adui wa wayahudi anamkimbia Baraka, alifika kwenye nyumba ya mwanamke mmoja aliyeitwa Yaeli, na mwanamke huyu alimlaghai kwa hila na kumwua.
Kabla ya kumwua maandiko yanasema alimlaza na kumfunika kwa hilo Bushuti (yaani blanketi), na alipopata usingizi alimwua.
Habari hiyo kamili inapatikana katika mlango wa 4 wa kitabu hicho cha Waamuzi.

ADHABU KALI KUTOKA KWA MUNGU, ITAMPATA MTU WA NAMNA GANI?
Mithali 15:10a “Adhabu kali ina yeye aiachaye njia;..”.
Mapigo ya Mungu yanatofautiana na mtu na mtu.. Tofauti na tunavyodhani kuwa muuaji ndiye atakayeadhibiwa sana siku ile kuliko mtu aliyeuacha wokovu.
Jibu la la! Maandiko yanatuambia, “Adhabu kali ina yeye aiachaye njia”, hasemi tu ‘adhabu’ ina yeye aichaye njia, hapana, bali adhabu KALI..
Bwana Yesu alirudia , maneno hayo hayo tena katika
Luka 12:47 “Na mtumwa yule aliyejua mapenzi ya bwana wake, asijiweke tayari, wala kuyatenda mapenzi yake, atapigwa sana.
48 Na yule asiyejua, naye amefanya yastahiliyo mapigo, atapigwa kidogo. Na kila aliyepewa vingi, kwake huyo vitatakwa vingi; naye waliyemwekea amana vitu vingi, kwake huyo watataka na Zaidi”.
Leo hii inasikitisha kuona kuwa watu wengi wanakiri kwa vinywa vyao kuwa wameokoka, lakini kimatendo wapo mbali na Kristo, hawa wote ni kundi la wakristo walioicha njia, au waliojua mapenzi ya Bwana wao lakini wasiyafanye, wanaojua kuwa kutazama pornography hakumpendezi Mungu, lakini wanatazama, kuishi na mume/mke ambaye si wako ni dhambi mbele za Mungu lakini wao bado wanaendelea kuishi nao, tena wanazaa nao,
Wanaojua, kabisa kuvaa nguo za nusu uchi, na kujichubua ni dhambi, lakini bado wanaendelea kufanya mambo kama hayo,. Wachungaji na watumishi wanaojua kabisa, uasherati ni kosa kubwa sana kwa watu kama hao, lakini sasa imeshakuwa desturi yao. Hao ndio Kristo anaowazungumzia kuwa watakuwa na adhabu kali sana kule kuzimu.
Ndugu yangu, mateso yaliyopo kule, usidiriki kuyapima kwa akili zako, ni mahali ambapo hata hao wanaoteswa huko hawatamani, kukuona mtu kama wewe umefika huko, ni mateso makali sana, yasiyoelezeka, soma (Luka 16:27-29).
Na ndio maana Bwana Yesu alisema maneno haya;
Marko 9:45 “Na mguu wako ukikukosesha, ukate; ni afadhali kuingia katika uzima, u kiwete, kuliko kuwa na miguu miwili, na kutupwa katika jehanum; [
46 ambamo humo funza wao hafi, wala moto hauzimiki.]
47 Na jicho lako likikukosesha, ling’oe, ulitupe; ni afadhali kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu, una chongo, kuliko kuwa na macho mawili, na kutupwa katika jehanum;
48 ambamo humo funza wao hafi, wala moto hauzimiki”.
Ndugu,unaposikia injili halafu huitendei kazi, ujue kuwa inageuka na kuwa adhabu kwako, na kwa jinsi unavyoendelea kuisikia ndivyo unavyojiongezea mapigo. Yathamini Maisha yako ya rohoni, siku hizi ni za mwisho, Unyakuo ni wakati wowote, Bado hujui siku zako za kuishi hapa duniani zimebakia ngapi, sikuzote kifo huwa kinakuja ghafla tu, hakina hodi je! Mimi na wewe tumejiandaaje? Kwa injili zote hizi tulizozisikia?
Ni heri tuyasalimishe Maisha yetu kwa Bwana leo, atuokoe, na kutufungua, tumaanishe kabisa kumfuata yeye bila lawama yoyote, tuweke kando mambo ya ulimwengu yanayopita, tuutafute utakatifu kwa bidii, kwasababu pasipo huo kamwe mbingu hatutaiona (Waebrania 12:14),
Lakini Ikiwa utatamani kutubu leo, na kuanza Maisha yako upya na Bwana, katika kipindi hichi kifupi tulichobakiwa nacho, basi yeye yupo tayari kukusamehe.. Ukiiomba sala hii fupi ya TOBA, ukiisema kwa Imani, basi utapokea msamaha hapo hapo ulipo.. Hivyo kama upo tayari kuyasalimisha leo Maisha yako kwa Bwana.
Hapo ulipo unaweza kutafuta mahali pa utulivu peke yako, kisha piga magoti, nyosha mkono wako mmoja juu, kama ishara ya kuyasalimisha Maisha yako kwa Bwana. Kisha, ukishakuwa katika utulivu, sema maneno haya, kwa sauti:
BABA YANGU, NAJA MBELE ZAKO, NINAKIRI KUWA NIMEKUWA MWANA MWASI MBELE ZAKO KWA MUDA MREFU, KWA WINGI WA DHAMBI ZANGU, NIMESTAHILI ADHABU NA MAPIGO MAKALI KUTOKA KWAKO, NI KWELI BWANA NILIYAJUA MAPENZI YAKO LAKINI SIKUYATENDA. LAKINI LEO MIMI MWANAO (TAJA JINA LAKO) NIMEDHAMIRIA KUYAANZA MAISHA YANGU UPYA NA WEWE. NAOMBA UNISAMEHE BABA YANGU.
KUANZIA LEO NINAACHA NJIA ZANGU MBAYA ZOTE, NINAMKATAA SHETANI NA KAZI ZAKE ZOTE, NINAUKATAA ULIMWENGU. NAOMBA DAMU YA MWANAO YESU KRISTO, UNISAFISHE NA KUNITAKASA KABISA.
ASANTE BWANA YESU KWA KUNISAMEHE. KAMA ULIVYOSEMA KATIKA NENO LAKO, YEYOTE AJAYE KWANGU SITAMTUPA NJE KWAKE. NAMI NAAMINI UMENIPOKEA, NA KUNIFANYA KIUMBE KIPYA LEO. NAOMBA UNIPE UWEZO WA KUUSHINDA ULIMWENGU NA KUUISHIA WOKOVU SIKU ZOTE ZA MAISHA YANGU.
ASANTE BWANA YESU KWA NEEMA YAKO, NA MSAMAHA WAKO.
AMEN.
Basi ikiwa umeisema sala hiyo ya Imani, fahamu kuwa Mungu anatazama moyo wako, na sio sala tu. Yupo mwanamke ambaye alikuwa na dhambi nyingi, lakini kwa jinsi alivyomaanisha tu mbele za Yesu, kabla hata hajaomba msamaha au kujieleza chochote, muda huo huo Bwana alimwambia “umesamehewa dhambi zako”. Hiyo ni kuonyesha kuwa Toba hasaa haipo katika maneno matupu tu, bali katika moyo.(Luka 7:36-50)
Na wewe pia ikiwa toba yako, imeambatana na kuachana na huyo mume/mke wa mtu, imeambatana na kuacha kutazama picha za ngono mitandaoni milele, imeambatana na kuacha kuishi na huyo girlfriend/boyfriend ambaye hamjaona naye.. Ujue kuwa msamaha kutoka kwa Bwana umeshaupokea.

Kwanini Mungu awachome watu kwenye ziwa la moto na hali yeye ndiye aliyewaumba?
TABIA YA WAZI INAYOWATOFAUTISHA MANABII WA UONGO NA WALE WA UKWELI.
Wale Nyoka wa Moto jangwani, walikuwa ni wa namna gani?
Wale Nyoka waliowadhuru wana wa Israeli jangwani walikuwa wana maumbile ya moto au?. Maana maandiko yanasema walikuwa ni Nyoka wa moto, Na kama walikuwa wenye maumvile ya moto, waliwaumaje watu na walitokea wapi? Walishushwa au?
Jibu: Tusome,
Hesabu 21:6 “BWANA akatuma nyoka za moto kati ya watu, wakawauma, watu wengi wakafa”
Neno “moto” hapo halijatumika kuelezea maumbile (yaani miili) ya hao nyoka, kwamba wana miili iliyoundwa kwa malighafi ya moto, hapana!. Bali limetumika kuelezea “Rangi” ya hao Nyoka, kwamba wana rangi ya moto.
Rangi ya moto, inafananishwa na rangi ya “Shaba”. Mtu anaposema “sahani ile ni ya shaba” na anayesema “sahani ile ni ya moto” Ni kitu kimoja, wote wanamaanisha kitu kimoja.
Ndio maana baada ya pale utaona Musa anaagizwa atengeneze nyoka wa shaba, kuwakilisha rangi ya hao nyoka.
Hesabu 21:8 “Bwana akamwambia Musa, Jifanyie nyoka ya shaba, ukaiweke juu ya mti, na itakuwa kila mtu aliyeumwa, aitazamapo ataishi.
9 Musa akafanya nyoka ya shaba, akaiweka juu ya mti, hata ikiwa nyoka amemwuma mtu, alipoitazama ile nyoka ya shaba, akaishi”.
Nyoka hao wenye rangi ya moto, ni jamii ya Nyoka maarufu sana wenye sumu kali wanaopatikana jangwani, hadi leo wapo (Ni nyoka wa asili kabisa), maisha yao ni jangwani tu hawawezi kuishi mahali pengine, na huwa wanajificha chini ya mchanga, na kubakisha sehemu ndogo tu ya kichwa juu, hivyo si rahisi kuonekana.
Na endapo mtu akipita na bahati mbaya akakanyaga mchanga mahali ambapo nyoka huyo kajificha, basi aling’atwa na hakukuwa na matibabu.
Hivyo kwa hitimisho, walikuwa ni nyoka wa asili, isipokuwa rangi yao ni ya Moto (au shaba).
Lakini pamoja na hayo kulikuwa na ufunuo mkubwa juu ya tukio hilo lililowatokea wana wa Israeli, na huyo nyoka wa shaba, mpaka akaitwa Nehushtani.
Kwa maelezo marefu juu ya Nehushtani, unaweza kufungua hapa>> NEHUSHTANI.

LESSONS TO LEARN FROM THE BOOK OF PHILEMON.
Blessed be the name of our Savior Jesus Christ, may we study the Bible, the Word of God which is the light of our path and the lamp that guides our feet. (Psalm119:135).
The Book of Philemon is a letter written by the Apostle Paul while he was in prison, to a man named Philemon. (It should be noted that the epistle is just a letter), so the Apostle Paul wrote the epistle / letter to Philemon, and the epistle, under the inspiration of the Spirit, was included in the biblical canon because it contains great warnings and great lessons for Christians. And it is also one of the shortest books in the New Testament.
Now who is this Philemon?
Philemon was one of the people who received Jesus through the gospel preached by Paul in the city of Ephesus, so Philemon met with the gospel and received Jesus, and began to serve him wholeheartedly, to the point of becoming a bishop of the church, which it was gathering in his own house (Philemon 1:2). But in spite of that, this man was capable and he owned slaves in his house (servants).
And one of his servants named Onesimus, one day he ran away from him and stole some of his possessions, and fled with them to Rome. While he route to Rome, he met Paul preaching the gospel, and the Word of God touched his heart and moved him to repentance.
And when he repented then Paul knew he was the slave of Philemon of Ephesus, a laborer in the field of God. And because Paul had convinced Onesimus that he truly repented, became a Christian, and stopped stealing and all that evil, and most of all he wanted to follow Paul in the gospel wherever he went and even in his imprisonment.
But Paul didn’t Onesimus go with him, but being led by the wisdom of the Spirit he decided to travel him to his master and he didn’t make him go with empty hands but rather he gave him an epistle as a testimony from Onesimus, that he has changed (as a new creature), and in the epistle there were also a few things to counsel Philemon concerning his servant Onesimus.
Because at that time, according to Roman law, if a slave escaped from his master, and was found, the law for him was death. So Paul knew this and that is why he decided to send Onesimus back to his master with the letter.
And in that document he touched on the following 3 main elements.
1. He first asked that he receive him because he was repentant and changed.
Philemon 1:9 “Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
2. After he receives him, he shouldn’t make him as a slave rather that a brethren in Christ.
Philemon 1:16 “Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?”
3 And if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.
Philemon 1:17 “If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account.
19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
In this epistle, the Bible teaches us how to live with our slaves, who we can now say the people we hired. And it also teaches us the responsibilities of every servant of God (that he must be a mediator).
You may be saved and believe in Jesus, and at home you have a domestic worker, or a gatekeeper, or you work in an office and under you, there are employees you have hired,… remember when your servant, or your employee is saved and has the same Faith, know that he to you is like a brother, you should not treat him as your slave anymore…
Yes he can continue with his homework, or security but, consider him as your brother..that is, the work he does is very much in line with his salary, so much so that he feels like how he is paid for free, compared to the work he does.
Also his personality is the same as the work he does… It means when he does your job he feels like he is part of the job, to be loved, listened to, given time to relax, and not feel like an animal, or a slave who is hired to pay his wages at the end of the day, and you as his master must be as patient and forgiving as Philemon.
Colossians 4:1″Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven”.
And also if you are a slave you must be humble, and wise and prudent. Because the Bible also says in..
Colossians 3:22 “Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:”
This means that, even though your boss is your brother in Christ, you must not disrespect him or despise him. If you disrespect him, or despise him and make your boss sad you have already sinned against God.
Also in this book we learn, our responsibilities as servants of God, to be mediators, there we see the Apostle Paul, after converting Onesimus to his gospel, did not take him and start traveling with him, though Onesimus was ready and eager to be with Paul, but Paul saw fit not to go with him into the ministry, and yet he was still a slave to somebody else, so it was better that he first return to his master, and meet him, and if his master would give him permission then he should return and go around with Paul in preaching.
But it is not wise to take him and even if he escapes from his master, it would not make a good impression.
Likewise even now, there are people who have robbed their bosses, and they have sincerely repented, but they do not want to go to the robbers… they just want to repent heartily, and most of all they are received in churches and even in ministry and given the opportunity to serve. Not knowing what their reputation is out there.
There are some who have been found in the world, and have heard the gospel and decided to repent, but before they had fled their wives, or husbands, or families… now before accepting such people in the ministry, it is better to first reconcile with their brothers, or their husbands… While we preached to them and helped them, just as Paul helped Onesimus return to his master in the epistle, so that when they came into the ministry they would not bring a bad image to those outside.
So as a pastor, or any servant of God, we must first examine the history of a person, before beginning with him the ministry work, even if he has sincerely repented, that alone is not enough, he must repair the last few, which he has destroyed, so that no flaws in the gospel can be found. what he preached, or what they preached to those who preached to him.
God Bless us.

Sikio lisikialo, na jicho lionalo, BWANA ndiye aliyeyafanya yote mawili.
SWALI: Huu mstari una maana gani ?
Mithali 20:12
[12]Sikio lisikialo, na jicho lionalo,
BWANA ndiye aliyeyafanya yote mawili.
JIBU: Utajiuliza ni kwanini haijasema “Sikio na jicho” Bwana ndiye aliyeyafanya yote mawili..badala yake inasema ..
Sikio lisikialo, na jicho lionalo,
BWANA ndiye aliyeyafanya yote mawili.
Hii ni kuweka msisitizo katika kazi zao jinsi zinavyojitegemea…sikio haliwezi kuona, wala jicho kusikia, kwasababu kila moja limeundiwa mfumo wake tofauti wa kipekee..Lakini kutokufanana kwao haviwafanyi viwe na miungu miwili tofauti..bali ni Mungu yule yule mmoja aliyeviumba vyote.
Hata sasa tunapaswa tutambue kuwa Mungu ni Mungu anayeumba vitu katika mionekano tofauti tofauti..mmoja atamfanya mchina mwingine mwafrika, sio kwamba kuna itilafu au mapungufu katika jamii fulani ndio maana ikawa hivyo hapana.. ndivyo Mungu alivyotaka watu wake wasiwe na mionekano na maumbile yanayofanana, amependa tu iwe hivyo
Vilevile katika Kanisa Mungu ameweka vipawa mbalimbali..mwingine mwinjilisti, mwingine mwalimu, mwingine mchungaji..hata katikati ya hao wainjilisti au manabii bado kawatofautisha wote wasifanane..
Kutokuhubiri kwa kufoka au kwa utulivu kama yule hakukufanyi wewe usiwe na karama ile..
1 Wakorintho 12:4-6
[4]Basi pana tofauti za karama; bali Roho ni yeye yule.
[5]Tena pana tofauti za huduma, na Bwana ni yeye yule.
[6]Kisha pana tofauti za kutenda kazi, bali Mungu ni yeye yule azitendaye kazi zote katika wote.
Hivyo tuonapo tofauti hizi, ndani ya kanisa lake, au ulimwenguni tusinyoosheane vidole na kusema yule sio Mungu, maadamu tupo katika mstari ule ule wa imani, hatupaswi kushangaa sana au kulazimisha mambo yote yafanane..bali tukumbuke tu huu usemi..
Sikio lisikialo, na jicho lionalo,
BWANA ndiye aliyeyafanya yote mawili.
Itambue nafasi yako, Mungu aliyokuchagulia, kisha isimamie hiyo kwa bidii kwasababu vyote ni kwa utukufu wake mwenyewe.
Bwana akubariki.

Ni kweli hakuna mtu aliyewahi kuuona uso wa Mungu Zaidi ya Bwana Yesu?
Biblia ina maana gani inaposema akonyezaye kwa jicho huleta masikitiko?
Kama Mungu ndiye kaumba kila kitu, je ni yeye huyo huyo ndiye aliyeumba dhambi pia?
Je!Sisi kama wakristo Tunaruhusiwa kuchangia ujenzi wa Imani nyingine?
SWALI: Naomba kuuliza kwamfano mimi ni mkristo mwenye uwezo wa kifedha, nikiombwa kuchangia ujenzi wa msikiti, Je! Ni halali kufanya hivyo?
JIBU: Tumeruhusiwa, kutoa misaada yoyote ile (Isiyokinzana na Neno la Mungu) kama tupendavyo kwa jinsi Bwana alivyotujalia bila kujali dini, Imani, jinsia au rangi, kabila n.k.. Kwamfano ukiombwa kujenga shule, au kutoa chakula, au kufadhili wazee wa Imani nyingine waruhusiwa kufanya hivyo, tena ni vema Zaidi, kwasababu unaonyesha upendo ule wa ki-Mungu kwao, ambao hautoki kwa sababu Fulani.
Lakini ikiwa ni mambo yanayokinzana na Neno la Mungu kama vile kusapoti ujenzi wa kiwanda cha pombe, au kusapoti madhabahu nyingine tofauti na ile ya YEHOVA, tunayemwabudu katika Kristo Yesu, hapo hatujaruhusiwa.
Kwasababu upo uhusiano mkubwa sana kati ya sadaka na madhabahu. Kumbuka kiroho Sadaka ni Ibada kamili.
Mathayo 6:21 “kwa kuwa hazina yako ilipo, ndipo utakapokuwapo na moyo wako”.
Moyo wako hauwezi kuwepo katika kanisa la Kristo, na wakati huo huo uwepo katika msikiti, au katika hekalu la Buddha, au la Baniani ambao mungu wao ni ng’ombe,. Hapo utakachokuwa unakifanya ni uzinzi wa kiroho, unazini na miungu migeni, bila wewe mwenyewe kujijua.
Na biblia inasema Mungu wetu ni Mungu mwenye wivu. Anatufananisha sisi na wake zake. Mungu hatazami tu pale tunapoisujudia au kuitumikia miungu migeni ndio achukizwe hapana, bali anatazama pia na sadaka zetu tuzitoazo.. Je tunazielekeza wapi? Kwake yeye, au kwa miungu migeni. Hapo tunapaswa tuwe makini sana.
Hivyo, kwa kuhitimisha ni kuwa, sisi kama wakristo, hatupaswi kuchangia ujenzi wa madhabahu za wasioamini. Ukiulizwa ni kwanini? Jibu lako ni kuwa IMANI YAKO HAIRUHUSU. Hivyo tu,
Bwana akubariki.

Je! Ni sahihi kwa mkristo kuoa/kuolewa na mtu wa imani nyingine?
Kwanini Mungu anajifanya kama hajui mambo?
Kwamfano ile habari ya Kaini utaona Bwana anamwambia Kaini, Yuko wapi Habili ndugu yako? Akasema, Sijui, mimi ni mlinzi wa ndugu yangu?
Tofauti na tunavyomchukulia Mungu kuwa ni Mkuu sana, hana haja ya kuambiwa chochote wala kujuzwa jambo, lakini kiuhalisia Mungu mwenyewe hajachagua kujiweka katika hiyo nafasi, tabia ya Mungu ni unyenyekevu.
Ijapokuwa anajua kila kitu, lakini wakati mwingine anajishusha kana kwamba hajui,
Vile vile ijapokuwa anauweledi na hakuna anayeweza kumshauri lakini wakati mwingine anajishusha na kukubali mashauri ya viumbe wake.
Kwamfano utaona Mungu anakubali ushauri wa Musa mara kadhaa.
Kutoka 32:9 “Tena BWANA akamwambia Musa, Mimi nimewaona watu hawa, na tazama, ni watu wenye shingo ngumu
10 basi sasa niache, ili hasira zangu ziwake juu yao, niwaangamize, nami nitakufanya wewe uwe taifa kuu.
11 Musa akamsihi sana BWANA, Mungu wake, na kusema, BWANA, kwa nini hasira zako kuwaka juu ya watu wako uliowaleta kutoka nchi ya Misri kwa uweza mkuu, na kwa mkono wenye nguvu?
12 Kwa nini Wamisri kunena, wakisema, Amewatoa kwa kuwatenda uovu, ili apate kuwaua milimani, na kuwaondoa watoke juu ya uso wa nchi? Geuka katika hasira yako kali, ughairi uovu huu ulio nao juu ya watu wako.
13 Mkumbuke Ibrahimu, na Isaka, na Israeli, watumishi wako, ambao uliwaapia kwa nafsi yako, na kuwaambia, Nitazidisha kizazi chenu mfano wa nyota za mbinguni; tena nchi hii yote niliyoinena nitakipa kizazi chenu nao watairithi milele.
14 Na BWANA akaughairi ule uovu aliosema ya kwamba atawatenda watu wake”.
Kadhalika ijapokuwa Bwana anafahamu kila kitu, lakini utaona kuna wakati anajishusha na kuanza kufanya uchunguzi wa jambo mpaka analivumbua, utalithibitisha hilo katika kile kitabu cha Ayubu 28, wakati anafanya uchunguzi wa kuitafuta hekima.
Vile vile ijapokuwa anatujua wanadamu wote na matendo yetu lakini utaona kuna wakati anajishusha na kuanza utafiti kama mwanadamu kupima kiwango cha maovu duniani, utalithibitisha hilo kipindi anataka kuiangamiza Sodoma na Ghomora, kabla ya maangamizi alishuka katika mwili na kwenda kuhakiki mwenyewe kama kweli yaliyomfikia juu ndio hayo yanayoendelea chini..
Mwanzo 18:20 “BWANA akasema, Kwa kuwa kilio cha Sodoma na Gomora kimezidi, na dhambi zao zimeongezeka sana,
21 basi, nitashuka sasa nione kama wanayotenda ni kiasi cha kilio kilichonijia; na kama sivyo, nitajua”.
Na sehemu nyingine nyingi ni hivyo hivyo. Utaona Mungu anajishusha na kuonesha tabia kama za mwanadamu, anajifanya dhaifu.. Ukitafakari sana unaweza kuona ni kama jambo lisilokuwa na maana, ni kama upumbavu hivi, lakini biblia inasema…
1 Wakorintho 1:25 “…. upumbavu wa Mungu una hekima zaidi ya wanadamu, na udhaifu wa Mungu una nguvu zaidi ya wanadamu”
Mungu amejifanya kama mdhaifu kwetu, kwa faida yetu sisi na si yake.
Hebu tafakari leo hii Mungu asingejishusha na kuuvaa mwili unaiotwa Yesu, leo hii tungekuwaje?, tungemwabuduje?, tungemwelewaje, Tungepata wapi nguvu ya kumtumikia?.
Tungesema Mungu hajui maumivu yetu, hajui shida zetu, hajui mzigo aliotutwika, hajui tabu tunazozipitia, yeye ni diktekta.
Lakini yeye Mungu mwenyewe naye alijishusha na kuwa mwanadamu, na yeye akapitia umaskini, na yeye anakipitia kujifunza, na yeye akapitia kutukanwa, na yeye akapitia kudhihakiwa na kukataliwa na kuumizwa na hata kifo ili atupe tumaini sisi.
Ili pale anaposema kwamba anayajua maumivu yetu, tufahamu kuwa ni kweli anayajua, anaposema anaujua umaskini wetu tujue ni kweli anamaanisha kuujua kwasababu na yeye aliupitia, anaposema anazijua tabu zetu, iwe kweli kwasababu naye pia alizipitia alipokuwa duniani.
Anaposema atatufufua tujue ni kweli kwasababu naye pia alikufa na kuona kifo hakimstahili mtu yeyote wa Mungu.
Hivyo udhaifu wake ni faida kubwa sana kwetu, una nguvu kuliko hekima zetu, Hekima zetu zingesema Mungu hawezi kujishusha kama mwanadamu.
Wafilipi 2:4 “Kila mtu asiangalie mambo yake mwenyewe, bali kila mtu aangalie mambo ya wengine.
5 Iweni na nia iyo hiyo ndani yenu ambayo ilikuwamo pia ndani ya Kristo Yesu;
6 ambaye yeye mwanzo alikuwa yuna namna ya Mungu, naye hakuona kule kuwa sawa na Mungu kuwa ni kitu cha kushikamana nacho;
7 bali alijifanya kuwa hana utukufu, akatwaa namna ya mtumwa, akawa ana mfano wa wanadamu;
8 tena, alipoonekana ana umbo kama mwanadamu, alijinyenyekeza akawa mtii hata mauti, naam, mauti ya msalaba”.
Ni nini tunachoweza kujifunza kwa Bwana?
Kama Mungu alivyo mnyenyekevu kwa faida yetu sisi, kadhalika na sisi hatuna budi kuwa wanyenyekevu kwa faida ya wengine.
Hapo mstari wa 5 maandiko yanasema “Iweni na nia iyo hiyo ndani yenu ambayo ilikuwamo pia ndani ya Kristo Yesu”.
Umeona?..Nia ya Kristo ni kujishusha kwa faida yetu, na sisi hatuna budi kuwa hivyo hivyo..
1 Petro 5:5 “…Naam, ninyi nyote jifungeni unyenyekevu, mpate kuhudumiana; kwa sababu Mungu huwapinga wenye kiburi, lakini huwapa wanyenyekevu neema”.
Maran atha!
