MWAMBA

Biblia (tafsiri ya King James) inaonyesha kuwa neno mwamba limeandikwa mara 142 katika mistari 128! Kwangu hii takwimu ni ya ajabu kwa sababu katika baadhi ya hii mistari neno mwamba limeonekana zaidi ya mara moja!

Unaposoma Zaburi unagundua kwamba mwimba-zaburi mara nyingi anamtambua Mungu kama Mwamba. Hapa kuna siri ya ajabu sana. Unapomtambua Mungu kama mwamba wako, unakuwa umemfanya Mungu kuwa kila kitu kwako. Unamwambia kuwa Yeye ni kila kitu kwako na bila Yeye huwezi kufanya lolote. Kwa kumwita yeye Mwamba wako, unamwambia:

Wewe ni nyumba yangu

Wewe ni makazi yangu

Wewe ni usalama wangu

Wewe ni tegemeo langu

Wewe ni kimbilio langu

Wewe ni maficho yangu

Wewe ni pumziko langu

Wewe ni muziki wangu

Wewe ni mgahawa wangu

Wewe ni ngome yangu

Wewe ni kinga yangu

Wewe ni nguvu yangu

Wewe ni udongo wangu na kwako nitakita mizizi. Orodha hii ni “Endless”

And he (David) said, The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge: my shield, and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my saviour – from violent men you save me (2 Samuel 22:2 – 3, NIV, emphasis mine).

DISAPOINTED? HERE IS A SOLUTION!

Failure in life is one of disappointment event that no one would like to meet. When we fail, we become like a patient admitted in the hospital; we need confort, some one to be closer to you, love and care.

The opposite comes true to many people when another person fail. It is like the story in the book 'ONLY FOOLS DIE'. In that book the author argue that, for any  dealth there is a foolis reason reason that a died person is associated with, for example, a malaria died person may be associated with lazziness, "Why did they delay to take him to the hospital?" one may say;  in a car accident you may hear "The driver was so fast, but the passengers were just silent or shouting, 'speed up we are late'"  This is how always people act.

Athough we hate failures, but we always meet some failure in life. Failing in one area does not prove disability in other areas of life, that may be a mechanism that enhance specialization in the society. I do not support failing, but the fact remain the same tha we sometimes fail and but also forget ourselves when we see  others failing in areas that we  are successiful, for example in academics, when a student fail many people say  he was so lazzy, he/she  involved in  extra curricullum activities other tahn academics. The reason given may be true, but should we react that way? On the other side we may misjugde failed fellows because failing in an exam may be a function of some psychologica, physiologica, bological and /or sociological changes just few minutes before commencing the examonations. Actually, judging the failed as lazzy is like the statement one given in the title of the book ONLY FOOLS DIE.

All in all, the fact remain, we become successiful not because we can be so, but because of God's mercies. A failed person needs love. comfort, closeness just like a patient in the hospital. Lets help the needy in times of truble and not adding more trouble to them by blaming their weaknesses. Even if they have weakenesses associated with their failure, are you perfect to stone them?

'A friend in need is a friend indeed' and Dini iliyo nzuri ni kuwasaidia wajane na yatima, wenye shida na taabu. Pray for all in trials, troubles and disappointments. This perfect our life in Jesus. When you face a faile person, ACT, do not REACT

FAITH

Many have said of faith, but what is it for sure?

FAITH IS:

1. An expression of confidence in God (Heb 10:35-36)

2. Is an act motivated by The Word of God (James 2:18)

4. IsObeying God to receive waht He has promised in our lives

5. Is behaving in God's Word

6. Is reasoning with God on issues in order to get proper answers

7. I seeing things the way God see them

8. Is power point of Christian life as it connect man to the power of God

9. Is a weapon of war. when in trouble, your faith tell you stand stii for there is salvation of God before you

10. Is the knowledge of God's power in man's life

JE, UTAMFUNIKA NUHU?

 TAZAMA

Mwanzo sura 6-9 inazungumza kuhusu mtumishi wa Mungu Nuhu ambaye Mungu alimmwamuru kutengeneza Safina ili kukisaza kizazi toka mafuriko ambayo aliyakusudia kwa wanadamu waliomwasi. Huyu ni mtumishi ambaye Mungu alimtumia kwa jinsi ya tofauti sana.

Baadaye tunaona akiwa katika udhaifu:

Mwanzo 9:20-21

Ø  Hapa mtumishi wa Mungu amelewa mvinyo hadi kuwa uchi katika hema yake.

Mwanzo 9:22-23

Ø  Ham aliona uchi wa baba yake yake akaenda kuwaambia kaka zake nje

Ø  Lakini, Shem na Japhet walichukua nguo na kumfunika baba yao; hawakumwangalia uchi wake.

TUNACHOJIFUNZA

1.   Mungu anaweza kuruhusu kuona madhaifu ya wenzetu akitaka kuona mwitikio wetu.

2.   Baadhi yetu hufurahia kutangaza udhaifu wa ndugu zao (hata wakati mwingine Baba yao –Mchungaji-) kama ilivyokuwa kwa Ham

3.   Wengi wetu tunapoona mwezetu maefanya kosa/dhambi; hufurahia na kuanza kutangaza, wakati mwingine k=hata kwa kusema, ‘Nilijua hajaokoka’  au ‘alijikuwa kimbelembele, nilijua hafiki mbali’.

4.   Watu wa Mungu (kama ilivyokuwa kwa Shem na Japhet), hutoa msaada kwani ‘upendo husitiri wingi wa dhambi’.

5.   Yesu angeangalia udhaifu wetu kwa jicho tunaloangalia udhaifu wa wenzetu, asingekuja ulimwenguni. Lakini, yesu huangalia udhaifu wetu kwa jicho la upendo ili kwa upendo huo tunabadilika. (Mithali 10:12 – ‘upendo husitiri wingi wa dhambi’)

Matokeo

Nuhu alimlaani Ham na laana hiyo ilikifuata kizazi chake cha Wakaanani. Unapohukumu/ kutangaza mudhaifu wa wenzako, roho hiyo inakufuata na itakuangamiza.

Swali Muhimu

Unaitikiaje unapomkuta mwenzako ametenda kosa? Unaposikia jambo lisilo zuri kuhusu ndugu yako, unafanya nini?

Je, utakuwa msambazaji wa maneno mabaya ukidhani ni sifa njema;

au

Utamwombea na kumshauri

Hizi ni nguvu mbili zinazofanya kazi kanisani siku hizi, moja inaishia kwenye maangamizi ya kiroho na nyingine kwenye ukombozi na kuimarisha kanisa. Uchaguzi ni wako.

Swali linabaki, Je utamfunika Nuhu? 

MAISHA MAPYA YA WOKOVU

MPANGO WA WOKOVU

1. Mungu anakupenda na ana mpango mzuri kwa maisha yako Yohana 3:16, 10:10b

2. Mwanadamu ametenda dhanbi na kutengwa na Mungu Warumi 3:23, 6:23, Waefeso 2:8-9

3. Yesu Kristo pekee ndie mwokozi wetu. Alikufa kwaajili yetu na akafufuka tupate uzima Warumi 5:8, Yohana 14:6, 1wakorintho 15:3-6

4. Lazima kumpokea Yesu kama mwokozi Yohana 1:12, Ufunuo 3:20, Warumi 10:9

KUUNGAMA DHAMBI

Si mpango wa Mungu utende dhambi. Lakini, kama wanadamu, tunakumbana na majaribu. Hii ina maana kuwa, bado tunapambana na dhambi maishani mwetu. Kinachotokea unapotenda dhambi si kupoteza wokovu wako, bali ushirka wako na Mungu uaathirika. Kama baba wa upendo, Mungu ametoa njia ya kushinda majaribu, na kumrudia tunapotenda dhambi. Biblia inasema ‘Kama tukisema hatuna dhambi twajidanganya wenyewe, na kweli haimo ndani yetu. Kama tukiziungama dhambi zetu, yeye ni mwaminifu na wa haki, atatusamehe dhambi zetu zote na kutusafisha na uovu wetu wote’ (1Yohana 1:8-9)

Kuungama dhambi si kusema tu ‘nimefanya dhambi’. Ungamo la kweli linataka:

1.     Uwe mkweli. Tambua dhambi/kosa ulilotenda

2.     Tubu dhambi kwa Mungu (ukimaanishaa kuziacha dhambi nakutotenda dhambi tena) Zaburi 32:5

3.     Uwe wazi (mwambie Mungu hakika ulichotenda)

4.     Uwe haraka kutambua kosa lako. Mara unapogundua kuwa umetenda dhambi, ungama. Kama si hivyo upo katika hatari ya kuanguka katika dhambi nyingine zaidi.

5.     Uwe mnyenyekevu kwa kuomba msamaha kwa wote walioathioriwa na dhambi yako Yakobo 5:16, Mathayo 5: 23-24, 1Yohana 5:20

6.     Kubali msamaha. Hautakiwi kuendelea kutubia dhambi ambayo umeshatubia kana kwamba Mungu hasamehe makosa. Kama Mungu ametusamehe, ni muhimu kukubali msamaha huu, na kuamini, na kumshukuru. Kataa mashtaka ya shetani kwamga haukusamehewa/ au hauwezi kusamehewa.
