Great commission  Every person on earth needs to hear the message of Salvation. This message is that Jesus died for their sins, and they are reconciled to God through Christ’s death.  When Jesus was leaving the earth, He left the disciples with one command: Matthew 28: 18-20  And Jesus cam e and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in [ a ] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” This is a mandate of every believer. It was not for the first disciples only, nor was it for people on the pulpit. Every believer is an ambassador of Jesus Christ, as Paul states in 1 Cor 5:18.  Why Share The Gospel?  The Harvest is plentiful.  People are hungry to receive hope and peace. They are searching for it in every aspect. Little do they kno...

Is marriage idolised?

-


 Mary lost her job last month and she is unable to meet her needs. She is almost falling into depression, she thinks whom to speak to and her youth Pastor comes to mind. She decides to meet him after Sunday service. Sunday after the service she meets her youth Pastor the greetings of the Pastor make her forget why she came into the office.  " Good morning Mary, happy to see you in my office, umepata mtu!" 

Greetings make Mary remember what her mother told when she told her that we lost her job. "If you were married you would worry because you lost your job because would have someone to take of you." Mary starts thinking why is everyone thinking her problem is marriage!  She has other problems to solve in her life. She wonders why nobody asks her when is she buying land or investing or furthering her education. Nobody bothers to know her goals and plans to achieve them. 

Mary decides that she is not going to share her problems with anyone again. She even decides to leave all WhatsApp groups because the only messages and memes shared in the group are about marriage. But before she meets her friend and talks about her issues. Lucky enough her friend links her up with a therapist who is ready to listen to her and walk with her on this journey. 

Mary still has this question, "Is marriage idolised?'

Seeing Christ through the Book of Psalms.

-
Image
      Psalm 3  This Psalm was written by David when we fled from His son Absalom. Absalom planned to overthrow, and his father had to run from him. Imagine your own son taking your position by force while you are alive. Some of the people who were closer to David also joined Absalom.  But this had been prophesied by Nathan as a punishment to David for committing adultery. David turns to God for help; he cries to Him to save him from his enemies, and who were his enemies? His own son. David says his enemies are so many, and they even say God cannot save Him. But David is assured of God he serves. He calls him my Shield, my Glory, my only hope. David’s trust in God was so confident that not even him being at a threat would not change it. Even knowing he was reaping the consequences of his actions would not change his hope in God.  David ends by saying that he is not afraid; he calls on the Lord, and God will slap his enemies, breaking their teeth. He continue...

Impact of Technology on the Youth

  A Youth Pastor in a youth church service said, “Anyone with a Bible kindly raise up and read this verse for us.” Everyone turned around to see who has a Bible. In a church service of 200 youth s,  no one had a Bible though most of them had Bible apps in their phones. Since the church has banned using phones in the church none of the youth would raise up to read the verse using his phone. This sounds familiar. Technology especially the internet plays a great role in the life of people the youth today. Research by Pew Research Centre  http://assets.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2018/05/31102617/PI_2018.05.31_TeensTech_FINAL.pdf   showed that 95% of the youth have access to the internet either through a computer or smartphone.  90% percent of the youth have access to smartphones. 90% of the youth use Instagram, YouTube, and snap chat  on daily basis . Currently, most youth and teens are using Tiktok.   Research by One Hope  https...

6 Ways Students can utilize their Campus Years

  Being a full-time university student has many privileges, one being you have a lot of free time. You have classes on specific days a week with free weekends, and long vacations of up to 4 months, among other privileges. However, you can effectively use this time and come out of university with more than just a certificate for the courses you were studying.  Set goals and timelines  Sit down and create down what you what to achieve in the four years you are on campus.  Your goals should be all round; academic, financially, healthy, spiritual, and relationally. Break down the plans into action points with timelines. If you write down goals without action points may be as equal to not writing them. You have an accountability partner that will keep you on track, maybe your friends or get a mentor. We seem to work hard and best when we know we will need to report to someone on the progress of work.   Enroll in short courses  It is the best time to enroll ...
