What is a repentance prayer? Should repentance prayer be directed when one believes?
Answer: A Prayer of Repentance is a prayer, in which one believer guides another who enters the Faith.
A person who joins the Faith is following the words of the Faith and confessing Jesus with his mouth, that he is the Lord and Savior of his life and died for his sins.
Now there is no instruction in the Bible that says a person after believing in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. then he needs to be guided by a prayer of repentance. There is no such text,
But there is only one text that says.
Galatians 6:2 “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”
It means that ..The weak one in the faith must be supported and helped to stand and eventually walk on his own … Just like an infant trying to stand up to walk … A parent must hold his hand and lift him up and help him walk.
The same is true in the journey of Faith. One who comes out of sin directly and receives Christ, is like a newborn baby …many of these don’t even know how to pray, even if they pray they feel God is not hearing…they do not know God, nor do they know the power of God well. They need support.
So when you hold their hands and help them, pray with them in early stages … Their beliefs will rise and move forward. There are few who can hold their own
even standing up and growing spiritually without even being led to that prayer, but many of those who believe in the Lord Jesus in the early stages need much help. Because they are very young spiritual children born.
But if you let them pray for themselves in the early days … it is easy for the devil to make them think that they have not yet been saved or received Jesus. So they will continue for a few days and then fall back.
When they grow enough, then they do not need to be helped anymore but they must help others who are as weak as they used to be.
Thus the prayer of repentance stems from a Christian’s love for a new born child in the faith, and it is not a sin to lead men or to be led.
So love is unconditional.
Our Lord Jesus taught his disciples to pray … how much more should we teach and guide the spiritual infants in the early stages?
The Lord bless us.

Qn.What is the difference between a dream and Vision?
Ans: A dream is a series of images and thoughts and feelings that come during sleep, and they come without one’s free will, that means one does not plan or decide what to dream! they are just creating themselves!
And dreams can be influenced by our daily activities or the environment around us or what was around us a short time ago (Ecclesiastes 5: 3; Isaiah 29: 8),
And some dreams are from the devil and some are from God (Genesis 28:12, 37: 5-10).
And the Vision is not much different from a dream. Vision is the series of the images and feelings that come with being out of sleep…
And these also do not come as one intended, neither does anyone know what kind of vision he about to see, nor can snap a vision as one drowsy sleep….one suddenly finds himself looking or watching at something unusual or unusual,
or find himself in a certain event such as he dreams, and when he returns he finds himself not sleeping, perhaps he was walking or standing or was talking to someone and remembers the event he saw in that vision.
And visions can also be the result of many activities, especially people who are severely depressed and affected by substance abuse, as well as those caused by the devil. The devil can create visions on someone’s mind, these happen to many who are witches or possessed with demonic spirits.
And there is a vision from God.
Contrary to popular belief that everyone who is born again must see a divine vision, the truth is that not everyone must see a vision, one can be born again and even die and never have a vision in entire life and yet go to heaven.
The matter of seeing a vision or prophesying is the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and only God plan who to give and who not to give, the one who has not been given will have been gifted with another unique gift, and the one who is given will be deprived of other gifts of the Spirit.
It is impossible for all people to have the same gifts and it is impossible for one person to have all the gifts alone (read.1 Corinthians 12: 29-31).
The important thing is to be born again and to be a new creation, (Galatians 6:15) and to live according to the Word… to see visions or to prophesy or to teach, they are not tests of holiness or tickets to heaven (Matthew 7:22).
God Bless you!

FOR I KNOW THE THOUGHTS THAT I THINK TOWARD YOU.
IS THERE ANY IMPORTANCE OF PAYING THE TITHES?
What did God mean to say deny yourself?
What was the thorn in Paul’s flesh?
Qn. Is it sin to charge interest (unsury)?.. because the Bible says not to charge interest my fellow brother?, does that mean those who lend to people with interest are sinning?
Ans. The Bible forbids us to charge interest only to our own brother and sisters, but to others outside the brotherhood it is not a sin to incur interest.
Deutoronomy 23:19-20 “Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest. 20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a fellow Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess”
Deutoronomy 23:19-20 “Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest.
20 You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a fellow Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess”
For example, you see your brother is in trouble struggling, and he asks you to lend him a little money, and then you use that opportunity to tell him to add another level of money (interest), as your benefit, that is a sin, if he / she borrows, then he repays what he has borrowed.
Don’t turn your brother’s problems into capital
Under normal circumstances even without being told by someone or being educated, you have a business house, and then your close relative has come to stay there for some time. You can’t tell him to pay the full tax like other people, he can only pay the normal small expenses but not cover everything, no human being can do that to his brother.
Likewise in Christianity, all of us who believe in Jesus Christ are made brothers. Christ’s love unites us together. We love each other unconditionally. That love makes us even less inclined to seek the benefit of our brethren in the Faith just as it does in our fleshly brothers. This is where the Bible urges us not to take interest in each other. But for someone other than our physical and spiritual brothers, we can tax them to make a profit in what we do. because interest is what makes the job grow.
But if we charge our brothers for profit, then the love of Christ is not in us, and so we sin against God.
Ezekiel 22:12 “In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God”.

Luke 24:1-7 “ Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again”.
Luke 24:1-7 “ Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again”.
It all ended on the day that the Lord gave up the ghost, when He said it was done!
That was the end of it all, it was the same as the student who completed her final exam the day she dropped her grade.
And the Lord on Friday, that was the end of all His trials, the end of all His work, So the end of His trials was the beginning of our deliverance! And our Honor!.
On that day he finished all he had to do; pain, distress, misery, and everything! That was the end there… he set a worldwide record of being a mortal man without sinning!
And prove before God that man can live without sin, all his life unto death, and that is why the scripture says’ he is being made so much better than the angels.
Hebrews 1:4 “BEING MADE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ANGELS, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they”.
It means that no angel was ever perfect like him.
Many do not know that the angels were tempted as we are, and there were winners and the losers also, the winners are the ones in heaven now, and the losers are the ones who are on the side of Satan.
So among the winners are also different levels, some who have done better than others.
we humans do not know which angels did better than the others, perhaps we will know when we get there when we are given glorious bodies to look like them.
Now among those angels who did well,..No one has done better than our Lord Jesus Christ when he was here on earth.
And because God is impartial, whoever does good, will receive the greatest reward. So because the Lord who was human but did better than all the angels in heaven then God gave him a name that no man or angel has ever had since the world was created.
And above all things were given to him in heaven and on earth, that every knee should bow before him!.
You will say where is it written in the Bible? Well it is written somewhere read..
Philipians 2:5 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME: 10 That at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”. (KJV)
Philipians 2:5 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME:
10 That at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”. (KJV)
And because we have believed in him. We become his brothers and sisters, so he will not be able to let us down,
We must also possess with him, the angels will be subject to us because he is above all angels right now, and we are saved to be with him.
It’s like a man fights to gets a presidential position, and after earning it, obviously, his family members will in one way or another come to the palace freely, without many obstacles than if he were not President.
and that’s just because they’re his blood relatives! and not much else..The average person can not approach him that way.
So does the Lord Jesus in His righteousness that has given him all authority in heaven and on earth, and given all authority and sat on the throne,
Now we, his brethren who are born again (and who are humans and not angels) cannot cast us out, he will rule with us.
That is why there is a great need to be a blood brother of our Lord Jesus Christ (and we only become like that by born again)
Because there is no way to approach Him if we are not born again through His blood !!. Only blood will connect us with him.
Remember not by the blood of man but by his blood!, not by the will of the man but by the will of God.
many are doing good things and saying by my actions I must see God, my brother do not be deceived…
You can do better deeds than any Christian in the world and still not approach God at all… why is it? The simple answer is because you are not the blood brother of the person Jesus, so your good deeds are in vain!
My brother, if you are a Muslim, read this message, or a Christian who is not yet familiar with the authority of the Lord Jesus and the criteria for being an heir with him, and you say in your heart I help the needy, I respect the parents, I do not steal, I do not do this and that… and you are deceiving yourself that you are close to God while you have put Christ behind…
If you are not born again in His blood, let me tell you my brother/sister YOU ARE LOST !!!!.. Your actions are good but they won’t help you in the future if you are not born again.
It is the same as going to do your best for all you know to your boss and pleasing him, by all means, hoping that one day he will give you his company!!.. will he do that? passing by his child (his own blood) and give it to you? … even if his son does not behave like you, even if you are a better worker than his son, one day that child will just become your boss regardless of all his weaknesses … why? Because of the blood relationship between the child and his father !! nothing more!..You don’t have blood relationaship that connect you with your boss, in order to give you his possession above any other man.
And so is the Kingdom of Heaven; that is why the kingdom of heaven is called inheritance, it require blood to get the right of inheriting..
Remember also that the kingdom of heaven did not begin on the day that the Lord Jesus was crucified,
the kingdom of heaven existed before the creation of the world;
So what will happen is inheritance, where the children of God will inherit it, and the children of God are all who believe in Jesus Christ and receive him by being born again.
John 1: 12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name”
So, my brother, this day (the Day of the Lord Resurrection). It is a very important day, when the Lord visits many people in the world to give them salvation make sure he does not pass you.
If you are not born again, this is a great time to do so…
How will you be born again?…
The Bible has given us the answers, that we can never go back into our mother’s womb and be born again !! ..
Being born again is a spiritual language, which means to be renewed in your spiritual life, that is to be transformed into another being in your spiritual direction.
That is what it means to be born again. We say the Tanganyika Nation was born in 1961, which does not mean it went into its mother’s womb and was born
No! But it is only a language that means, that it was democratically renewed and become a sovereign independent state in that year.
And so is it in the Christian Faith,
when you are renewed mentally by divine power, you are born again.
And there are a few steps to regeneration…
John 3:3 ‘There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again’
John 3:3 ‘There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again’
So the steps to follow to be born again after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world, and that He is the One who conquered everything, and was entrusted with all the powers of heaven and earth,
The next step is to be baptized(Full immersed) in the water and in His name (Jesus Christ), as a symbol of death and resurrection with Christ, (that is the birth of the water the Lord was talking about).
And after you have been baptized correctly, The Lord Himself will give you the gift of his Holy Spirit in you who will help you overcome sin, and guide you in the full knowledge of the Scriptures, and protect you from the evil one, (and that also is the birth of the Spirit the Lord was talking about).
Now when you complete those three steps, namely BELIEVING, BEING BAPTIZED IN WATER, AND BEING BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT … You will already be born again, and become a new creature, and you are the son of God, the heir of his promises.
2Corinthians 5:17 “old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”
You become a blood brother/sister of OUR JESUS CHRIST… You become the heir of God’s wealth, no one can sue you from then on, and no one can separate you from his love…
Brother! At present we do not know the heritage well enough, we know in part only! But after this life is over, then when we shall enjoy God in fullness, we shall know Him broad and long. We will receive the riches he has stored for us and the honor he has bestowed on us, through his beloved son JESUS CHRIST.
It is my prayer that in this Easter season, You will realize what you are supposed to do in your life, and you will also make good and wise choices and may the Lord help you in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Word of God says when we are weak then we are strong, meaning when we are nothing then we are seen as something before God. The Lord Jesus said in ..
Luke 14:11 “For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted”
when we refuse to let our mind rule us and let God rule, then we will open the door to a wider scope to experience the power of God more in our lives And that is why the apostle Paul said..
2Corinthians 12:9 “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong”
2Corinthians 12:9 “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong”
God cannot be a healer for us if we are not weak.(a healthy person doesn’t need a doctor), the Pharisees and Sadducees Jesus was useless to them because they considered themselves to be healthy, so they did not benefit anything from the power of God in Jesus Christ.
We are usually grateful when our needs are met, you can’t thank or ask if you don’t have any need.And you also cannot rely on someone if you have the capacity to support yourself. likewise to our God, in order for us to experience His power, we must be weak in His eyes in every way, so that we can see without Him we cannot do anything.
The more we will give ourselves to Him, the more we will open the door to Him to serve us and to see His power,. Children of God are likened to a sheep and not a goat, because a sheep cannot lead itself and relies on its shepherd for everything. unlike goats Goats have the power to go and look after themselves, so they do not need much help from the Shepherd.
Similarly And a toddler, is served in everything by his or her parents including accommodation, food, health, etc. because he seems weak to his parents without them they can do nothing so the great power of his parents seems upon him, in the same way that we too should be to our heavenly Father,we are children to Him we must humble ourselves as young children to see His power in our lives, Remember when a child pretends to grow up and wants to make his own decisions, then he slowly frees himself from the arms of his parents and the power of his parents is further diminished, until it arrives when the parent has no place in the child. The Bible says,
“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you” (James 4: 8).
This means to the extent that we will give God in our lives, that’s what he will use to work in our lives. If you give God Sunday to Sunday, and He will reveal to you only on Sundays, as it is month by month, and so will he reveal to you month by month,..but if it is day by day you will see him day by day,.. The bible says.. “and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again”.
If you give God 20% of your life he will appear to you in that 20 percent, don’t expect that, if you gave 70% to appear to you in that 70. If you gave him 100% he would appear in that 100% just as the Lord Jesus gave it to his Father. For the power of God is perfected in this weakness, and weakness is when you refuse to rely on your own mind and become like a baby in His presence.
I remember a long time ago we had rented a room somewhere and at the end of the month we had the custom of paying the electricity bill, but at some point we didn’t have any money to pay and we didn’t have anything in our pocket but we believed in God and left him all, we said if our God were there!, he will fight for us, For they that demand money, they are corrupt people, if you pass it one day without paying for it is overwhelming, but by the end of the month we had nothing in our pocket, strangely the creditors didn’t come that day to claim the money and it wasn’t their custom, all the other rooms they went to pay for was our only room left! but it is as if they were blinded so they did not come, into another month on 1,2,3… until the 24th we still hadn’t paid off last month’s debt and of course we didn’t have the money at all. and we continue to use the electricity but we left it to God, we said we should never lend to anyone,
I remember the same day the cooking gas ran out so problems were increased, but when it came to 25th midnight with many thoughts, we opened the phone and found Tshs.48,000 on M-pesa account..we did not know where it came from. It was not sent by anyone, and no name or message to show the sender of money, it’s like it was added to the m-money account. we went to withdraw it the same evening. ironically the same hour after withdraw the money the creditors arrived and in anger demanded their last month’s electricity bill, we gave them at the same hour, shs. 15,000. The remaining amount we bought gas and other uses.
The Lord has appeared to us His children in this way many times and in many ways But we would say to add and borrow money, certainly the power of God we could not be manifested.. for he says in.. Psalm 46: 1 ″ God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
When we become weak and leave him, then we will see the power of God.
The children of Israel could not see the sea parted if they had not met the sea-block, they would not have eaten manna if they had not passed through the wilderness, they would not have to split water from the rocks, if they were not thirsty. So when you entrust God with all things to govern in chaos without finding an alternative to your mind,then the power of God will be manifested.
The same is true when you go through a particular ordeal, or when you have been hurt, or have encountered a problem, quickly don’t rush to find alternatives,do not begin to fear, that is the opportunity for you to experience the power of God, and that’s what he wants it to be, Yes it is good to go to the hospital and it is not a sin to go to the hospital but not every illness is a rush to the hospital, if you do, how will God’s power see you?
I might give you an example that is real. When I was getting a little sick i was running for medicine but it came when I said I wanted to see God in my life, to heal me without trust in man or medicine,
I said I would not take any pill or go to the hospital, since I said it by faith, so far it’s been many years I’ve never taken a pill or gone to the hospital,
whenever I feel a sense of weakness in me, I say the Lord is my doctor who will heal me and of course the situation doesn’t last long after I get back to my normal routine, By doing this the power of God I see in my life every day.
And you brother can say why have I never seen God work miracles in my life? it’s because you yourself have not allowed it to work in you. You didn’t want to be weak in his eyes by lowering yourself to be like a child,. If Something has happened take it as an opportunity for you to see your God and not rely on your own mind, neither man nor anything, leave him and you will see His glory every day.
That is the only way that will make you see GOD’S POWER in your life and that is the way Paul spoke and lived it that enabled him to see God day by day in his ministry. for example, when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were sent into a fiery furnace, they did not give up all for God and in doing so were able to meet God there and make their God to be exalted in the entire Babilon. So did Daniel too..
When he was thrown into the lions’ den, he saw the power of God there, Even Paul and Silas; as they were thrown into prison, they saw the power of God when an angel of God shook the earth and opened the prison doors.These are all because they acknowledged their weakness before the Lord thus, they experienced the magnificent glory of God.
Proverbs 3:5-6 “ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths”
Proverbs 3:5-6 “ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths”
Amen.

He quoted me with this piece of scripture…
Matthew 3:11 “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire”:
Now, I want to be sure if this statement proves water baptism had ended with John the Baptist, or not. Should I abandon water baptism?
Ans.
In those verses you can find nowhere John has said, for this case now you can abandon the water baptism and stick only with holy spirit baptism… only canal people have translated those verses in that way, but that is not what scriptures instructed.
Thanks God all the answers are in the bible. And today we will look at one apostle, who understood that verse very well and interpret it correctly to the people.
When we read the book of Acts of apostles chapter 10 we find a story of one man named Cornelius, this man was very Godly and loyal in all of his offerings, but one day an angel appeared to him and instructed him to go and find Peter, whom will tell him what he is supposed to do.
When Peter responded to the call and go, after the vision he saw few minutes prior their arrivals, about their coming, he went to the house, and we see, as soon as he begun to preach the Holy spirit descended upon every one of them who was in the house, and all started to speak in another tongue.
But wait…
That wasn’t the end of it. Peter did say now it’s finished, you have already received the Holy Spirit now everyone can go and continue to their services, rather he instructed every one of them to go baptised into the water in the name of Lord Jesus Christ…
Acts 10:44-48 King James Version (KJV)
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Now as we are heading to the peak of the questions asked…If you want to know that Peter, knew that verses very well, even more than we do. See when he gets back to Jerusalem to meet Jews, telling them everything which was going on there, I want you to hear closely what he told them.
Acts 11: 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 THEN REMEMBERED I THE WORD OF THE LORD, how that he said, JOHN INDEED BAPTIZED WITH WATER; BUT YE SHALL BE BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY GHOST.
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
Read again verse 16, Peter quoted John Baptist words saying…John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost…see? that statement proves he knew Holy spirit baptism was necessary for salvation but water is also required to accomplish the whole salvation process.
Even now everyone who is claiming to have the Holy spirit must have been baptised also by water. Jesus said. 6 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Mark 16:16)
Therefore, there is no salvation without water… go and find correct water baptism for your salvation according to Acts 2:38
Shalom.
Kuota umeachwa na gari, Maana yake ni nini?
Hii ni ndoto inayowapata watu wengi sana.Hususani wale ambao walishaokoka, lakini mambo mengine ya kidunia yanawasonga sasa hivi..Au walisharudi nyuma kabisa na kuacha wokovu
Ndogo hii inakuja katika maumbile tofuati tofauti wengine wanaota wameachwa na ndege, wengine wanaota wameachwa na wenzao ambao walikuwa wanakwenda pamoja, lakini wengi wao wanaota wameachwa na gari walilokuwa wanasafiria.
Kwa mfano mtu mmoja alinihadhithia ndoto hii, ambayo rafiki yake aliiota ikawa inamsumbua sana..
Aliota alikuwa kwenye basi anasafiri, sasa lile basi likafika mahali kwenye foleni, na yeye baada ya kuona vile limesimama pale, akaamua kushuka kidogo, na aliposhuka tu lile gari likaanza safari, anasema akaanza kulikimbilia, kumbe wakati analikimbilia kulikuwa na watu wengi nao wanalikimbilia lile gari, mchanganyiko wamama, watoto, na watu wengine n.k. Lakini baadaye yeye akajitahidi kwa nguvu sana kuliwahi akafanikiwa kuingia lakini kwa shida sana, na alipofika ndani akakuta siti yake imeshakaliwa na mtu mwingine..Ikimbidi ajikalie tu mwenyewe pale pembeni, lakini baada ya muda mfupi mzee mmoja akatokea akamsukuma atoke hata pale alipokuwa amekaa, akiwa hana sehemu ya kukaa kwa bahati nzuri akaona siti moja ipo wazi pembeni yake akaenda kuikalia na muda huo huo akashtuka..
Nilipo hoji nikagundua kuwa mtu huyo alikuwa ameokoka lakini baadaye alirudi nyuma, amesongwa na mambo ya ulimwengu huu..Na pale Mungu alikuwa anamwonyesha mwenendo wake jinsi ulivyo alipoona anakawia kukipata kile alichokuwa anakitafuta katika njia yake ya wokovu akaamua kwenda kukitafuta katika mambo ya ulimwenguni..Na hiyo itamgharimu kwasababu upo wakati atatamani kurudi lakini itakuwa ngumu sana kwake kwasababu wokovu sio safari ya kujaribu jaribu kama yule mke wa Lutu alivyofanya, aligeuka mara moja tu, na saa hiyo hiyo akageuka kuwa jiwe la chumvi.
Ikiwa na wewe ni mfano wa mtu kama huyu umeota ndoto ya namna hii umeachwa na basi ujue huo ni ujumbe kamili kutoka kwa Mungu, kuwa unaupoteza wokovu wako, na kuwa ukiendelea katika hali hiyo inayoendelea sasahivi ya kujitenga na wokovu, au kusongwa na mambo ya ulimwengu basi hautaupata tena daima na nafasi yako atapewa mwingine..
Lakini kama wewe hujaokoka kabisa yaani Bwana YESU hajayabadilisha maisha yako, wala huna habari na Mungu.. wewe umekuwa mkristo jina tu, au Muislamu, au huna dini kabisa..Hapo ni Mungu anakuonyesha jinsi gani inavyoogopesha na inavyosikitisha mtu unapoachwa safarini..Sasa jiulize, kwa mtu ambaye haujaanza kabisa safari, yeye atakuwa katika hofu nyingi kiasi gani?..Ndivyo ilivyo hali yako wee Upo katika dhambi, upo mautini, mbingu ipo mbali na wewe.
Sikia sauti ya Kristo, inayokuambia njoo kwangu leo.. Uanze naye safari njema ya kuelekea ufalme wa mbinguni. Kukutana na ujumbe kama huu si bure, Ni Mungu anazungumza na wewe.
Yesu anasema..
Mimi ndimi njia, na kweli, na uzima; mtu haji kwa Baba, ila kwa njia ya mimi.(Yohana 14:6)..
Ikiwa unataka na wewe kwenda mbinguni basi YESU ndiye njia..wala hakuna mwingine.
Vile vile biblia inasema..
Isaya 35:8 “Na hapo patakuwa na njia kuu, na njia, nayo itaitwa, Njia ya utakatifu; wasio safi hawatapita juu yake; bali itakuwa kwa ajili ya watu hao; wasafirio, wajapokuwa wajinga, hawatapotea katika njia hiyo”.
Dunia hii inapita na mambo yake..Utauhangaikia huu ulimwengu mpaka lini, Ukifa leo, ni nani atakuwa mgeni wako huko uendako?. Ni nani atakayekupokea, utaulizwa safari yako ilikuwa ya kuelekea wapi, utajibu nini..Kwanini leo usichukue tiketi yako mkononi, uanze maisha mapya na Bwana Yesu..Kwasababu ni kweli atayabadilisha maisha yako na wewe mwenyewe utaona ni jinsi gani umeianza safari njema, ya uhakika na yenye matumaini..Ulevi, uzinzi, starehe, sema leo ni mwisho ninaamua kumgeukia Kristo.
Basi uamuzi unaoufanya ni wa busara sana ambao hautakaa uujutie maisha yako yote kama ilivyokuwa hata kwetu sisi. Unachopaswa kufanya, hapo ulipo, chukua muda mchache ujitenge peke yako. Kisha piga magoti, kisha fuatisha sala hii kwa Imani, ukijua kuwa Mungu yupo hapo karibu na wewe pembeni yako kukusikia..Kisha ukiwa sasa katika utulivu Sema sala hii kwa sauti.

Sasa ikiwa umefuatisha sala hiyo kwa Imani ..Hatua iliyobakia kwako ni kuithitisha toba yako kwa Vitendo ikiwa ulikuwa unafanya mambo yote ambayo hayampendezi Mungu unayaacha na kujitenga nayo, Sasa Mungu akishaona umegeuka kwa vitendo basi toba yako anaipokea na atakuja ndani yako wakati huo huo na kufanya makao ya milele kwako. Vile vile unahitaji, kutafuta kanisa la kiroho ambalo utajumuika na wakristo wengine katika kumwambudu Mungu, na kujifunza biblia ili uukulie wokovu. Na vilevile ili upate ubatizo sahihi wa kuzamishwa katika maji mengi na kwa jina la YESU KRISTO kwa ajili ya ondoleo la dhambi zako.
Ubarikiwe sana

FUATILIA NDOTO HII, UTAJIFUZA KITU.
PENGINE MUNGU ALISHASEMA NAWE KWA NJIA HII.
KUOTA UPO UCHI.
SIKU YA UNYAKUO ITAKUKUTAJE?
USHUHUDA WA RICKY:
Rudi Nyumbani:
Swali: Bwana Yesu alikuwa na maana gani kusema.. “sasa mkuu wa ulimwengu huu atatupwa nje”? Ni kwa namna gani atatupwa nje? Na ni kwanini atupwe nje na sio chini?
JIBU: Tusome huo mstari…
Yohana 12:31 “Sasa hukumu ya ulimwengu huu ipo; sasa mkuu wa ulimwengu huu atatupwa nje. 32 Nami nikiinuliwa juu ya nchi, nitawavuta wote kwangu. ”
Yohana 12:31 “Sasa hukumu ya ulimwengu huu ipo; sasa mkuu wa ulimwengu huu atatupwa nje.
32 Nami nikiinuliwa juu ya nchi, nitawavuta wote kwangu. ”
Kama ukichunguza vizuri hapo utaona anatumia neno “ATA” na si “ALI”.. yaani atatupwa na sio alitupwa au anatupwa..Ikionyesha kuwa ni kitendo kijacho ambacho bado hakijatokea..
Kumbuka tena hapo anasema atatupwa NJE, na sio atatupwa CHINI.. Shetani alishatupwa chini zamani sana, Kile kitendo cha yeye kuasi kule mbinguni biblia inasema kilimsababishia atupwe chini yeye pamoja na malaika zake (soma Ufunuo 12:7-10), Hivyo akawa ameganda tu hapa duniani kwenye giza nene, bila shughuli yoyote, wala tumaini lolote, akisubiria siku yake ya maangamizo ifike,apotee.. Mpaka sisi tunakuja kuumbwa, yeye alikuwa bado yupo hapa hapa anatazama tu, mwanadamu akimilikishwa kila kitu..
Lakini Adamu alipoasi, ndipo shetani akapata nafasi ya kuingia ndani ya ufalme ambao ulikuwa ni milki ya mwanadamu tu, Adamu akaiuza ile hati yake ya umiliki kwa shetani..Na tangu huo wakati shetani akapata nguvu akawa na mamlaka juu ya mambo mengi sana katika huu ulimwengu, akawa na uwezo hata wa kuwaendea wafu waliokufa(ikiwemo watakatifu) na kuzungumza nao kama alivyofanya kwa Samweli, akawa na uwezo hata wa kuzuia maombi ya watakatifu, yasimfikie Mungu …Yaani kwa ufupi japo watakatifu walikuwa wanalindwa na Mungu..lakini bado shetani alikuwa na uwezo fulani juu yao..
Sasa wakati ulipofika wa Mungu kuirudisha ile hati ya umiliki kwake, Ndipo akamletea mwanadamu aliyefanana na Adamu, ndiye Bwana wetu YESU KRISTO.. yeye alikuja kufanya kazi moja, na kazi yenyewe ilikuwa ni KUMFUKUZA SHETANI atoke ndani ya milki ya wanadamu..
Lakini si kwa wanadamu wote, bali wale tu watakaomwamini na kumpokea..
Na ndio maana sasa utaona Bwana Yesu anasema hapo.. sasa mkuu wa ulimwengu huu atatupwa nje”? Ikiwa na maana bado kitambo kifupi tu atakwenda kutupwa nje ya milki ya utawala wa watakatifu..Na tukio hilo lilikuja kutimia siku ile, pale KALVARI Bwana Yesu alipokufa na kuchukua funguo zote za uzima, pia na za kuzimu na mauti (Ufunuo 1:18).
Sasa tangu huo wakati hali yake shetani ikarudia kama mwanzoni alipokuwa pale Edeni kabla ya Adamu kuasi, akawa hana nguvu yoyote kwa wale watu waliomwamini Yesu na kuoshwa kwa damu yake, akawa hawezi kujiamulia tena kitu chochote juu yao, hawezi kuwaendea wafu na kuzungumza nao tena, hawezi kumdhuru mtu yoyote wa Mungu, ikiwa Mungu hajaruhusu.
Hivyo leo hii mtu aliyeokoka, hahitaji kuogopa wachawi, hahitaji kuogopa mapepo au majini, hahitaji kuwa na wasiwasi labda shetani atamuua, hahitaji kuwa na hofu labda maombi yake yamezuiliwa sehemu fulani hapo juu ya wakuu wa anga kama Danieli.. Sasa hivi shetani hawezi kufanya hivyo kwa mtu aliyeokoka kweli kweli.
Lakini kama upo nje ya Kristo..basi Maisha yako yapo hatarini..Wewe unapaswa uwe na hofu ya kila kitu, hukosei kuwaogopa wachawi, au majini, au wanadamu..kwasababu huna ulinzi wowote wa Mungu na shetani bado yupo ndani ya maisha yako, kila siku akikupangia njama za kukuangamiza..hivyo upo sahihi kabisa kuwaogopa kikweli kweli.
Ni neema za Mungu tu zinakushikilia ili utubu ndio maana upo hai.. Mpe Kristo Maisha yako kama hujampa, Uwe salama.
Ubarikiwe.
