Odoyo the neighbour came in and stole all the food Awino had left to feed her family. This was during  the hard times our country was experiencing. There was no food, things were very expensive and also there was  food shortage. The two kilograms  of flour you could buy it at 130ksh and not easily found. Awino who is a widow in the slums of Kibera Nairobi Kenya in a single room 10 by 10 feet,  had just lost  husband  because of the  big disease as they call it, three years ago. Leaving her with afamily of eight  . She had just borrowed some money  amounting below a dolar to buy a quarter kilo flour, cooking salad at 10 Ksh, sukuma &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;wiki ( green vegetable) at 20ksh, and a 20ksh paraffin  for the stove. 

"MY God..... oh my God!!...................... what shall I do? where will I get the other money to buy  food for  my family?. Why? Odoyo, why............ Awino had just used all the money borrowed from her neighbor and it was already at night and children were waiting for food to go to bed. Children could be heard crying for starvation. Odoyo what is this you have done? can`t you be ashamed of yourself? for how long will you be doing this? lamented some of his neighbors. Some shouted kill him.......... kill him.......... Odoyo does not want to to go work, this is the habit he has developed. Should we kill him? 


During the South Africa Truth and Reconciliation Commission, there was a man who confessed how he killed and burned the bodies of a black anti-apartheid activists. On the other hand, a woman whose son had been killed and burned was asked what action should be taken against this man. I just want to hug him so that he ( the killer) can experience the love parents have for their children" she said.


 Despite the fact that some situation may be hard to forgive, there is power in healing, peace and even joy in forgiveness. For example a wife may find it difficult to forgive an abusive husband but still, God grants her the strength to forgive and touch the heart of such abusive husbands. Let as pray God to give us grace to forgive. Forgiveness is not a day thing. It is along process for those who have been abused or are in an abusive relationships or those who have lost their loved ones in mysterious circumstances and suspect foul play. 

What do you do when you are in a search situation? Do you want to divorce your wife or husband for what he did to you? Would you pray God to give you an forgiving heart? God bless you.

Rings in the Bible

The Bible gives no indication that finger rings were used as betrothal or nuptial rings. The signet ring is the earliest type of ring mentioned in the Bible. When Tamar disguised herself as a harlot to entice her father-in-law, Judah, she asked him for his signet, cord, and staff as a pledge for his promise to send her "a kid from the flock" (Gen 38:17-19). Jeremiah informs us that the Israelites wore the signet ring on the right hand (Jer 22:24). The signet ring was used to seal various contracts. It was a symbol of authority, dignity, and social status (James 2:2). Pharaoh gave his signet ring to Joseph as a symbol of authority (Gen 41:42). Likewise, Ahasuerus gave his signet to Haman to seal a royal decree (Esth 3:10, 12). Upon his return the prodigal son received a ring from his father as a symbol of dignity (Luke 15:22).

The finger rings mentioned in the Bible are signet rings used as symbol of authority and dignity. The Romans are credited for pioneering the use of the signet ring as a betrothal ring. The Jews and the Christians borrowed the practice from the Romans. Since the betrothal ceremony usually involved the groom giving a sum of money or a valuable object to the bride, it was a natural transition to make this object a ring&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7358748260703466527-4413316859872877357?l=friendsofjesusministries.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      Good Friday!
      The time had come. And already has come when Jesus said it is finished!!
      He cried on the cross. Just because of me. So that I may become the way I am. Were it not Jesus Christ of Nazareth son of God, I was dying in my sin and perishing. He paid the penalty of my sins on the cross. I am a free man!!
      It was a hard time that had not been experienced in the history of mankind. God dying on the cross just because of you and me. Jesus cried. Father why have you forsaken me.
      How do you feel when your beloved son tells you about that?

Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you? You want what you don’t have so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. And even when you  ask  you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong – you want only what will give you pleasure.

You adulterers!  Don’t you realize that friendship with the world make you an enemy of God? I say it again: If  you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God.

What do you think the scriptures mean when they say that the Spirit  God  placed within us is filled with envy? 
But He gives us even more grace to stand against such evil desires.   As the scripture says:
          God opposes the proud 
          But favors the humble”

So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Come close to God, and God will come close to you. 

Wash your hands, you sinners, purify your hearts for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.

Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy. 
Humble yourselves before the lord and He will lift you up in honor.

How many times have you been coming close to God? Remembering what we do to our brothers and sisters. We kill, destroy even murder and  fight. God is not happy with what we do. He wants us to repent and seek forgiveness and have good fellowship with Him.

“Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the Prophet.
Do you understand what you are reading? Philip asked.
How can I he said unless someone explain it to me.
So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.”
Acts 8:30 -31

-People around the world are still facing this man’s  dilemma. How can they understand the word of God if no one come to explain it to them?.
God had arranged for Philip to locate the Ethiopian eunuch  the precise e moment when he was reading the messianic prophecy of Isaiah 53.
God of all the earth swathe Eunuch’s spiritual hunger  and sent a spirit-filled messenger to lead him to salvation.
God  miraculous intervention was obvious in the preparation of the Eunuch’s heart, the calling of Philip, the prophecy of Isaiah, the timing of the meeting, the eunuch’s decision to believe, the sudden discovery of water in the desert, the supernatural transportation of Philip from the scene and the great joy of the eunuch as he continued on his way home. God had arranged the Gospel to enter Africa.
Have you ever realize that the God of heaven an earth knows the struggling and suffering you are undergoing or passing through. He knows the true people who are truly searching for Him with their hearts.
He is making arrangement and timing  on how He can meet your needs. The desire of your heart.


1Peter 3;12. 
 “ For the eyes of the lord are on the     righteous and His ears are attentive to their prayers, but the face of lord is against those who do evil”.

I don’t know whether you have tried to ask yourself whether the eunuch new that God was sending someone to meet him. Neither did Philip know that God was sending him to meet the Ethiopian eunuch in Africa?
Was it not the work of the Holy Spirit that arranged for that?
Trust in the lord this may be your date to meet a divine intervention in your life.
Trust in the lord and have faith in Jesus Christ and see what God is going to do for you.

God’s mission is His divine plan to advance His kingdom throughout  of the  the world through the preaching of the Gospel.
What is a mission?
It is a coordinated set of activities that are used to reach a specific goal.
God created an entire garden of Eden for the first couple to live in it and to take care for Him. He left one tree from which Adam and Eve were not to eat. This was done to give them a chance to obey God willingly.
Satan came to the woman and tempted her to doubt the truthfulness, love, and wisdom of God.

RESULT OF SIN

What do you think may be the result of sinning?
God is never guilty of sin, but sin causes Him pain.

Sin causes  heartbreaking problems into our lives.
It brings shame like what happened to Adam and Eve. For this was the first time  in their lives  to try to cover their shame, however their effort  was not satisfactory. 
Sin causes separation from God and each other.
Man will always try to cover his sins. Just like what Adam and Even did. Our effort to  cover our sins are always inadequate. To day people try to cover their sins with.
             Fine clothing,
             Possessions
             Wealth
             Fame
             Rebellion
             Pleasure  
             Doing good things

None of these can take a way our sins before God.
Did God know where Adam and Eve  was   hiding after sinning?
That is a big yes. Who are you to hide from your creator?
God knows everything. He knew exactly where Adam and Eve were, and He also knew what they had done. However, He was giving  the first couple a chance to confess their sins and repent.
How many times has your creator given you chance to confess and repent your sins?.................. 
Did Adam an Even repent?............. 

The first Gospel is found in Genesis 3:15.
“ I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers, he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel”

 God had to give a promise to mankind. He was promising to intervene in human history to save fallen humanity.
Also in Genesis 12:3.  God gave Abraham one of the crucial or central promise   in the entire Bible.

“ and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you”

Abraham children would become a nation of their own, a kingdom of priest with mandate to bless the whole world.
We are blessed through this promise as we consider what Jesus Did on the cross when He said it is finished. We can come to God through Jesus Christ.
Think about your live  and  what God has for you, have you been covering your sins the way the first couple did? Do you take time to confess what you might have done to your neighbor, think about your relation with your creator and your neighbor. What about your family? Have you been faithful to your spouse? God loves mankind and what to restore what was lost. He wants to rebuild the broken fellowship with mankind.
He is always there for us.

You might have been  seated at the beautiful gate waiting for Peter and John to pass by and give you gold and silver. Did you ever realized that this cripple man could walk? What about himself. Do you think he was expecting a miracle of walking? What do you think he wanted from Peter and John? Did he know  for sure  Peter and John had someone who could be a solution to his life?
Why do you think this man was he taken to the gate but not in the temple?
Do you think the people around this man  had a hope of him  getting well?

What do you expect Jesus to do for you next year? the year 2011?
Have you ever tried HIM? Would you like to do so?
You may be cripple like this man. You don't move, you  are holding a dead ministry, a dead mission which does not Go Ye as commanded by Jesus in Matthew 28: 19,dead marriage, dead business, you may be also dead spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
This is a year of a walk!! In name of Jesus of Nazareth, stand up and walk!
   This is what has been a problem in our lives. Sometimes we don't know where our help can come from but let me assure you that our God is not a sleep. He does not wear a watch but He is always on time. Our eternal God does not measure time in the same way we do. A thousand years seem endless to us but to Him it is nothing because He stands above time.

God bless you and a happy new year 2011.

“No……., no  I am tired of you! I won’t accept your apology! A way from my sight, you silly man! I don’t know why I got married to  a such foolish man?  Why have you repeated this………. Why, why? you think I don’t have people to help me?” Akinyi could be heard lamenting and cursing her husband. Near her  children and animal  stood staring at her. A voice of a man could be heard in a low tune begging her, Akinyi please, Akinyi please, forgive me, forgive me, I beg you! But Akinyi on her climax could not listen to that. 
“Last year you treated me like  this  and I forgave you,  This year again……  again, no…….. I don’t want. You plus this the so called Mother- inlaw  you have always been backbiting  and mistreating  me. For how long will you continue  doing  this?. Since I got married to you people  I have  never got any peace  at all!. I am now going to apply for a divorce. I am blaming myself to have married to a such man who is useless. A man who does not know how to take care and look after his family ”said akinyi. She could be seen wiping her tears with an old handkerchief 
Akinyi lives in a rural village whereby farming is the main economic activity. She has one acre piece of land. And  does mixed farming. Rateng her husband on the other hand, since he has no hope in future  has  taken drinking as his lifestyle. He has been stealing chicken for sell so that he may get one tin of local bear.
This issue has been a thorn in the flesh of Akinyi. She does not sleep at all, and she is growing thin and thinner. There is a time she fainted and thought that she was bewitched by one of her neighbor but thank God a pastor came and took her to the village hospital. It was found that Akinyi is developing some ulcers.
Oriedo is one among the friends of Rateng. Who is believed to be spoiling Rateng. There is a time when Akinyi met him on the way and became sick just after seeing him. “I hate this man! Said Akinyi. I am praying for him to died! “Why just my husband”. Akinyi was so angry with him.
The Bible says in Ephesians 4: 31-32
“ Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and evil speaking be put a way from you with all malice 
And be kind to one another even as God for Christ sake has forgiven you”
Resentment is that deep feeling of displeasure or anger that we have toward someone because of past offense.
It is  our painful  memory of past hurt. It is the greatest enemy of right relationship. It destroys friendship and turns friends into enemies. But the most damaging effect of resentment is the destruction of the one who hold it.
If we hold on to resentment, it can grow into bitterness. Bitterness affect our health, our minds, our personality and relationship with God.
Bitterness affect our health. It is poison to our body. Resentment, bitterness, hatred, an unforgiveness can cause ulcer,  high blood pressure, and a dozen of other sickness. 90 percent of our illness are caused by anger, fear, resentment and bitterness.
Holding bitterness in your heart can cause you loose sleep, and be tired most of time. Take a way enjoyment of your food, kill your happiness. It affect our minds and bring depression .It affect our personality for the more we resent someone or think about him we become like him. When you focus your emotion on someone you become like that person. It also affect our relation with God. For if you don’t forgive  you are asking God not to forgive you.
Forgiveness set us free for it is the only one thing that can set us free from resentment and bitterness. Forgiveness is not trying to forget what happened to you, but it is bearing the wrong or injury of yourself an choosing to remember no more.
Forgiveness is so costly. The one who is forgiving pays the price of the injury or evil committed. In order for Christ to forgive us. He had to pay the price  or the penalty of our sins by dying  on the cross. It is costly to forgiven. It is costly to forgive but it is more costly not to forgive.
How can we return from bitterness to forgiveness.
  -Recognize God is our judge  Romans 12:19. Don1t revenge but leave it to God.
 - Confess your sins to God. If you hold bitterness know that you are sinning.
 - Pas the sentence of death upon resentment and bitterness.
- Forgive just as Christ has forgiven you.
 - Trust for the Holy Spirit to make your forgiveness real.  Forgiving others and getting rid of bitterness is a result of our working together with the Holy Spirit. We can not do it a lone and the Holy Spirit can not do it a part from our choice. But we must work together with Him. 
Divorcing your spouse is not the solution for your marriage. It is good to reconcile with your spouse   and allow the Holy Spirit  to help you. For any suffering and struggling you are undergoing remind God in prayer and He will help you. Put your trust in God and He will care for you.

All was well as wanted to go to bed after taken our family supper together.

Little did I know I could lose my husband in a short while Resba recalls how she heard loud screams and noise from far from the neighborhood at a round 10:00 pm.
Within a short a while I saw a gang of men numbered about  30 storm my homestead and started destroying everything in sight as though they were send.
The youth were armed with assorted weapons and sang war songs demanding the members of the other tribe community vacate the area.
They told us to go back to our ancestral land for we had betrayed them in just concluded  election.
They did not even spare the livestock at the cowshed.
“The worst that I least expected  happened when the man whom I knew ordered my husband to be killed.” said Resba. 
My husband was pleading with them to spare us, but who heard him?! The presence of group leader made things worst. He was the first one to stab my……. Husband with a sword at his chest. The rest followed and killed him on the spot. My husband died. She narrated as she fought back tears  that were rolling on her cheeks. 
“The gang later set our house on fire before leaving me with my seven children staring and trembling at their dying father not knowing what to do!” Said Resba.
I was six months pregnant when this horrible ordeal happened.
We took refuge at a nearby church before leaving to a show ground when violence escalated.
Some times we faced tough moments in our lives as though we have no one there for us. Remembering to what happened to the early church. During the reign of Nero in 64 AD. Many Christians died. Jesus Christ promised us that He will never forsake us. Though we see these things in our lives as we live here on earth, one day we shall be with Him in heaven. Where we shall get a rest, where our tears will be wiped, no pain, no hunger, no war and diseases, no burning of houses and tribe fighting each other.
Have heart Jesus is coming for us soon!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7358748260703466527-7693802055637484305?l=friendsofjesusministries.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

His father  gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper,  he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy  drove 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned  to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually  decreased. He discover it was easier  to hold his temper than to drive  the nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn`t lose  his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested  that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold  his temper. The day passed and the young boy was finally able to to  tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son   by the hand and led him back to the fence. He said,  You have done  well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never  be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar on people  just like the nails left scars on the fence. Even when we ask others to  forgive us and we ask God to forgive us, hurtful, hurtful, ugly and  angry leave a scar on the peoples heart        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7358748260703466527-1475375444203176132?l=friendsofjesusministries.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The message to the people of Jerusalem is centered on their lack of attention to the things God was trying to show them. Many times this inability to learn from our mistakes of others comes from a heart that does not see the consequences of our actions. How good are you at learning from your own mistakes?. How good are you at looking at the mistakes of others and taking warning from them? Will you be a minister or a leader who refuses to acknowledge that you are wrong and continues to make mistakes? Or will you be a minister who constantly asks God to reveal those aspects of your life that need to be changed and improved? The way you answer these questions can determine how well you survive the challenges of life.

When we forget this we are prone to a myriad of problems such as anxiety, restlessness, frustrations, burnout, and pride.
When we fulfill our highest calling as His child, and we are becoming like Jesus Christ, then from us will flow rivers of living waters that will give life to people around us through whatever occupation we do.
John  7: 38
We will not see ourselves as the source but as channels of His life and Love.
Let Jesus lead you in every plans you have to do and you will have success.

Pastor Mike, our God is great!! " Amen." I responded. Nobody bothered to help me Alice had just completed her education, what is called the Fourth Form for the Secondary Education.
As she narrated her story about her life in school and how she went through hardship just for getting a single penny to pay for her school fees.
Alice comes from a rural village which has been a abandoned by the government for development. Poverty is the main issue there.
She worked in people`s farms so as to get money for school fees.
  As we look at the story of Sarah in the Bible, Sarah first laughed at the lord`s promises because of her unbelief. But we know that later she did believe, and God was able to give her a son.
God can not work where there is unbelief. " By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed and she bore a child when she was passed the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. ( Hebrew 11:11)
God knows all  our thoughts and inner reactions to His promises.                  Know my friend,&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; it Pays to believe God&lt;/span&gt;! Put all your trust in Him and see what He will do for you!

Marriage is one of the act that God has ordained and should be kept holy and honoured.
Remembering in scriptures that God hate divorce. A separated family affects most of families. Children misses the love of either  the father or mother.
One of the most questions that I normally ask the spouses to consider the first day when they met and how things looked like.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7358748260703466527-9163635472050210535?l=friendsofjesusministries.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

When we confess,  our strengths, potentials, and fault, we open the door to real love.
When at fault, seek forgiveness before you explain yourself, for explanation are requests, not for forgiveness, but for understanding.

- We are to demonstrate God `s love to others
I fail to know whether you have taken a moment in your life and all this years God has given you to minister to his creation about the good news?.
Have you been faithful with the time God has given you? Do you pay the ten percent of the time God has given you? Just spending in prayers, meditating of His word, just being in His presence, How have you plan for this day? have many hours have you given to God? What about His monies?

Life is not easy even for Christians. We are not immune from things such as trials, difficulties, dangers , insecurity, depressions, illness and lost of loves one.
Often, on the other side of hardship we are better people for having endure difficulty. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;If God doesn`t miraculously deliver us, we still can be honored that He has trusted us to be a part of His overall plan.&lt;/span&gt;
The whether was calm a s I ministered in the slums of Kibera Nairobi Kenya along the railway line. This is the path that  most people use when going to their  jobs in Industrial area and house maid. Though people looked so  poor and hopeless still they were eager to listen  about this our Lord Jesus. I love ministering in Kibera for I have stay there for over twenty years. This was my good day for I had just reached for one hundred peolpe who gave their lives to Jesus Christ.

Hebrew 11: 8
Is God calling you to do something difficult? perhaps to take missions trip to help people in need? Or to witness to someone throwing her life away with bad decisions? Or to show kindness and love in a relationship that needs encouragement. If you aren`t sure you can do it ask God to help you.
Then, trusting your loving heavenly Father, dive toward that goal. Could  be the best play of your life.
WE who love Jesus are walking by faith, Not seeing one step that`s a head, Not doubting one moment what our lot may be, But looking to Jesus instead.
Take moment in your life and think what you have done to the lord, the way King Hezekiah did when he was told to put his house in order. God added him 15 more years.

"Pastor Mike.. On the Radio this morning it was about a couple that had marriage problems and yes this was a christian station.. The woman said that she drove her husband away by being to demanding.. So she finally let GO.. GOD had to take over and work with the man how he the Lord knows his heart.. which he spoke (the man) saying it was fear.. He worked on the woman too.. She spoke of Galatians and when I got to work.. I opened my bible to find out what he the Lord wanted me to read.. it was then.. he answered my OWN prayer.. am I CRAZY??  He states in the scritpure the word Crazy.. and to follow with FAITH which is GOD"S SIGNED LAW.. this was before the 10 Commandments were even written.. it's GOD PROMISE TO ALL.. FOLLOW FAITH!!  1st and foremost though.. Except Jesus Christ into your heart.. That was the sign above ALL to show the world GOD"S LOVE!!  It was JESUS FAITH that he followed his FATHER"S LAW.. and we are ALL SAVED because of this.. "

How many times do you do it per month?
Most of marriage break because of couple not having time for communication and solving their differences.
Have you ever remembered how you met your spouse before engagement and then later marriage? How many times did you communicate? Do you remember the time you were receiving your calls? Did you complain about it? How was her appearance? Did she or he looks ugly? Did some force you to marry her? Did you like her character or behaviour? Why did you accept him or her if you knew his or her character were not good?
Now it is more than some months and you have started complaining about your spouse. I don`t know whether you saw that character in her before you said "Yes I do"
Remember God hate divorce!
Some people make wrong choices by rushing into marriage. It is my prayer for anyone desiring to marry to take time in prayers and good time before he marry. Before you start to complain about your spouse behaviour, please communicate with her and solve your issues. It is not wise the third part to know your problems before you settling the issues. Divorce is not the answer for your marriage.
Some healing of your marriage can come just by you Communicating and remembering how you met the first and how you

It is my husband''.said the woman. What has happened to your husband? I asked her as she continued crying. ''He says he does not want to see me in his life and I should go back to my family. He wants to marry another wife.
Stop crying, my sister, you are not alone for God cares about your life. Lets try Jesus in this your marriage. For God says that He will never forsake you but always be with you.
I will pray for you and see how we can reach your husband and talk.
Most of marriages break because of no lack dialog. The moment you don`t talk in your family when there is an issue and see how you can solve it. This is a good time for the devil to destroy your happy and lovely family. In most cases you find that husband has not time with the wife all the same the wife does not have time to share with the husband even children.
How do you solve issues in your marriage? how long does it take just to sit down and talk. Do you forgive your spouse in case there is a problem?
Do you really love him or her?. Why do you want to marry another woman or man? Do you think by marrying another person will solve your problem?.
This is impossible my friend. This is not the right way of solving your problems in marriage. You need to talk and solve the issues.
God bless you.
