How To Alight From A Matatu

If you live in Nairobi, then you know that matatus are the most important mode of transport. However, they are not the best form since matatus are unregulated and undisciplined. Matatus are always in a rush, breaking traffic laws and increasing fares whenever it rains. Therefore, it takes courage to travel in matatus and especially if you are a lady. Many times, getting into or alighting from matatus requires extensive acrobatic skills so as to avoid injury. Precise calculation is required for this simple feat. Since most matatus are still in motion although passengers are disembarking, it is important for ladies to know how to alight from moving matatus. Firstly, early in the morning after getting dressed, take stock of your life. A simple fall could cost you your life. Matatus are notorious for going beyond your stage; they may suffer from an undiagnosed form of recurring temporary deafness. In order to stop them, your skills must include the ability to shout at the top of yo...

The Terrible Failure of the Secular Gospel

By Michael Brown http://www.charismamag.com/life/culture/23142-the-terrible-failure-of-the-secular-gospel Almost 20 years ago, the journal  First Things  published an article by a famous German theologian named Wolfhart Pannenberg titled " How to Think About Secularism ." In the article, Pannenberg outlined the nature of secularism and how it threatened the church, also explaining how the church should not respond to the challenge. Looking back, it's clear that many of our pastors and leaders have done the opposite of what he counseled, and we are paying the price for it today. Pannenberg himself was orthodox in some of his beliefs and unorthodox in others, but I'm focusing here on his observations about secularism rather than his  overall theology . Tracing today's Western secularism back to the 17th century, he wrote, "A public climate of secularism undermines the confidence of Christians in the truth of what they believe." So, it is not...

God's Mind on Mastering your Finances

"Jesus spent more time teaching on money than on heaven and hell combined" Apostle Geoffrey  Kiriungi, Jesus Wave International Breakthrough in money will cause an overcoming of 70% of demons.  To be able to justify this claim, let us as first look at doctrinal concepts - the concept of abundance.  You cannot rise higher than your faith. Your faith cannot go higher than knowledge because faith comes by knowledge. Romans 10:17 'So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' Prosperity is provided in the redemptive work of God as one of the seven blessings of salvation. Genesis 22:8 'And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.' Provision is part of the redemptive work of God. 2Corinthians 8:9 'For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be ...

Open Letter to the Judiciary of Kenya seeking clarification of how the City Magistartes court ought to be run

Dear Sir/Madam, Today i attended the trial of an employee in the City Magistrate's court at City Hall pertaining to breaking Nairobi City By-laws.  The court sat to try the accused at precisely 2 p.m.  However, as interested parties and next of kin to the accused, we were not allowed to sit in the court and follow the proceedings. I believe rules of natural justice require that any accused must be tried in an open court or in camera when the court feels it would further the ends of justice.  Even then, I believe the court ought to communicate to the public and consider any objections raised. The trial was over within minutes. The judgement readout to the kin and interested parties outside the court by someone from the court.  Further, threats were issued regarding late payment of fines that will see the accused locked up in the Industrial Area Remand Prison or Lang'ata Women's Prison. I never heard the Judge announced or the charges read aloud nor the accused...

Convergence: Thinking like the Bride of Christ

Rev 22:17: And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. We are in the season of the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. We find the principle of present truth which establishes us, not historical truth. The last name of the church is the bride. The Lord is relating with the church as a bride. In this season, we see ourselves as the bride. We must change our mindset to a relationship type of a mentality, thinking as a bride. The issue of submission will not be a problem. Mat 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.  Mat 22:2 The kingdom of heaven i...

Biblical Perspectives on Wealth

The basic concept of wealth is: If you know the truth about money and wealth, you will reduce money - induced stress.  Riches attract friends (Proverbs 14:20). Wealth also has wings and flies away. It is very important for the Christan to pray to God the Father to release from the 'normal' conundrum of paying bills for example, rent and buy your own home. Indeed, one of the characteristics of rich people is that they own the roof over their heads. Keep in mind that genuine faith is far more precious than any amount of gold. Riches truly are corruptible. They are uncertain riches, so we cannot place any faith on them but in the God that gives us riches to richly enjoy. In the pursuit of possessions, use the same wealth and possessions to pursue Jesus. Remember, wisdom is the principal thing. Get it and get understanding. God bless us with wealth and wisdom to use wealth to advance your agenda on the earth. Your will be done.
