Tuesday, November 16, 2010: Said Musa’s handwritten letter: Transcription of Said Musa’s handwritten letter Some spelling, punctuation and
grammar has been corrected to aid
understanding, and some names
removed for legal and security
reasons. “To the international church of world and to the President Brother Barak
Obama President of the United States
and to the head of ISAF [International
Security Assistance Force] in
Afghanistan! “My name is Said Musa 45 years old. I have been working since 15 years as
a Physiotherapist in I-C-R-C
[International Committee of the Red
Cross] orthopaedic centre in Kabul,
Afghanistan. About four and a half
months before by security force of Afghanistan I [was] captured, due to
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Saviour of
the world. One person ____ he is spy of
____ [a] leader in Afghanistan. He told
about me [to] the Government’s officials, ‘He’s believer, He’s head of church in ____’. He showed my house to the security force. Since that time I
am in jail. The authority and prisoners
in jail did many bad behaviour with me
about my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
For example, they did sexual things
with me, beat me by wood, by hands, by legs, put some things on my head,
mocked me ‘He’s Jesus Christ’, spat on me, nobody let me for sleep night and
day. Every person spat on me and beat
me. Also the prosecutor wrote
something wrong against me. He told
from himself something wrong against
me on my file. “He is stimulating every day the prisoners against me, ‘He is also in jail due to spy for Iran country’, to reveal the church in Kabul. I ’m in a very and very bad condition in the jail. “I agree with long imprisonment about my faith even for long life.
Because I’m the sinnest person in the world. Because sometimes they
treated for died I refuse my faith due
to died. Sometimes I tolerate the
persecution but immediately I
acknowledge my sin before Lord
Jesus Christ: ‘Don’t refuse me before your holy angels and before your
Father.’ Because I am very very weak and sinful man. “Nobody could accept my defender before the court. If I say I am a
Christian man he immediately spat on
me and abuse me and mock me! I am
alone between 400 handlers of
terrible values in the jail like a sheep.
Please, please, for the sake of Lord Jesus Christ help me. Please send a
person who should supervise my
document and my file, what I said in it.
My prosecutor has told something
wrong to the judge because he asked
[for] money but I refused his request. Please, please you should transfer me
from this jail to a jail that supervises
the believers. I also agree with died on
cross of my pride. I also agree with the
sacrifice [of] my life in public, I will tell
the faith in Lord Jesus Christ son of God and other believers will take
courage and be strong in their faith.
Hundred percent I am stable to my
word. I have family of seven – one wife, three daughters and three sons.
My big son [is] about eight years old.
One of my daughters can’t speak, she has some mental problems. “This is a request from me to all over the world, people please help me. I
could not have any person to help. For
[the] sake [of] Lord Jesus Christ please
pray and immediately help me and
rescue me from this jail. Otherwise,
they will kill me, because I know they’re very very very cruel and hard hearted! “Your destitute brother in the world. “Please my English writing is not enough good. If I did some mistake
please forgive me! From Kabul
Provincial jail.” Paul Marshall at NRO puts it mildly: America Quiet on the Execution of
Afghan Christian Said Musa …‘The sentence for a convert is death and there is no exception, ’ said Jamal Khan, chief of staff at the Ministry of
Justice. ‘They must be sentenced to death to serve as a lesson for others.’” The U.S. government — reportedly including Secretary of State Clinton — and other governments have pushed
for his release, but to no avail. But the president has been silent, even
as we fight a war that has among its
goals the creation of a government
that conforms to international human-
rights standards. An American president certainly needs
to guard and shepherd his political
capital, and should not speak out
about every prisoner. But Musa himself
has appealed to “President Brother Obama” to rescue him from his current jail. And when an obscure and
aberrant Florida pastor, Terry Jones,
threatened to burn a Koran, not only
President Obama but much of his
cabinet, as well as General Petraeus,
weighed in on the matter. If the actions of a Florida pastor who
threatened to destroy a book holy to
Muslims deserved public and
presidential attention, then the actions
of the Afghan government, ostensibly
a ‘democratic’ ally, to destroy something holy to Christians, a human
being made in the image of God, also
deserve public and presidential
attention. In Egypt, as in much of the Muslim
world, Islam treats non-Muslims as
second class citizens: COURT REJECTS CHRISTIAN CONVERT ’S IDENTITY DOCUMENT CASE Categories Categories: : Alerts Alerts, , Creeping Creeping Sharia Sharia, , Legal Legal, , Media Media, , News News, , Obama Obama, , Politics Politics, , Religion Religion, , Sharia Sharia Tags Tags: : Barack Barack Obama Obama, , Creeping Creeping Sharia Sharia, , islam islam, , law law, , Legal Legal, , Life Life, , Media Media, , Military Military , , Muslim Muslim, , News News, , Obama Obama, , Politics Politics, , Random Random, , Religion Religion, , Sharia Sharia, , travel travel « Older | Mail | AAA True Patriot says: February 24, 2011 at 8:42 AM I hope those who have been

Will Power

noreply@blogger.com (Khulekani Joromani) — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 23:50:00 -0800

We greet and welcome you all to yet another glorious walk with God. We thank God for the new year, new opportunities new grace new anointing because I know God works in seasons and every season has its own blessing. Today let's look at choices.

We are symbols of the one we worship whatever they can do we also can do. Gods are spirits and spirits don't have authority to act on earth for God gave it to man. The spirits want their will to be done on earth through man. Hence the consistent battle between good and evil over the will of man. Any man under the influence of a god whatever he does on earth brings glory to the god he serves.

Man was given power to choose he has a will, he has capacity to choose. The greatest power is the will of God and on earth it's the will of man. Nothing is as powerful as a man who has made up his mind. In Daniel 3 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego said to the king, "we don't know how to answer you in this matter.." because they had their mind made up whether God was to save them or not but they were not going to bow down to the idol. Their will power connected with the will power of God. Even Jesus submitted his will to that of God (Luk22v42), remember the greatest power is the will of God, through submission to the will of God, the power of God was made manifest. Hence we must thrive to know God for ourselves. When God introduced himself to Moses he said I am a God of thy forefathers (Acts7v31-32). Every generation shall choose the God they want to serve and submit to his will.

In Esther 5, Esther made up her mind to go see the king on account of her people. She had to decide and to live without a decision is to live powerless. In Deut 30v15 the Bible says He has set before us because He has no authority to impose it on us. Also in Deut 11v26 and Deut 30v19 God sets before us and does not impose on us but we have to make the choices. I choose life I choose blessing I choose good. Daniel was delivered by God but they were taken to the fire based on their choices. Someone needs to declare that they will never beg for their life this year, they will not beg for bread. This year let God be God for me, doesn't He owns cattle upon a thousand hills……………..

Prosperity is a choice. God cannot force you to be prosperous or poor you choose for yourself. Going to church cannot make you rich. Jesus said the poor will always be in your midst not because there are people born and destined to be poor but because some will remain poor by choice. Your background is not an issue it's what you decide for yourself that matters. Generational curses operate when you follow a generational pattern so don't play the blame-game on your forefathers.

Powerlessness kills generations. If you be for God serve him fully to activate power. 1 Kings 18v21 this year let's not weaver between options let's decide want we want. If you believe in something be in it fully. You need to make up your mind to the level in which Saul later Paul was operating in when he was persecuting and killing Christians. The prodigal son grew sick and tired of the low life he was living and he made up his mind got up and went back home. In Joshua 24v15 Joshua declares, "me and my house we will serve the Lord.." If you be for God this year be for God submit your will to His and see His power at work for you.

Stay blessed

They talk about me

noreply@blogger.com (Khulekani Joromani) — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 23:46:00 -0800

Am I talking to someone who is sick and tired of people's lies concerning him/her? Well if you are there this is a message tailor-made for you. It fits you well like a robe.

I just want to ask you something. Have you ever seen people going to a cattle pen and then call someone to a secluded place and say "Come here have you ever heard something? Come I don't want these cattle to hear about it. Manjuma is very naughty it goes to other people's fields.But please please don't tell any other cow about this it's between us." If ever you have heard something like this you have every reason to be destructed about what they say about you. If not, why bother, knowing that they talk about people in their absence and every other thing in its presence.

Men were given dominion over every other creature besides men, so that's why they talk about in your absence. Don't be afraid of doing what is in your heart because when you do they will talk and if you don't they will still talk about it. If you ignore what they are saying will that change who you are, if you listen to what they say again will it change who you are. It's only you who can allow the change to take effect not them. Learn always to refute every negative word that was said about you.

David came to a point where everyone was against him and he encouraged himself in the Lord." And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God." 1 Samuel 30:6 Most of us when we are discouraged by others we add on the pile by discouraging ourselves as well. You are the only one who is not against yourself so don't be your own enemies.

To those that are reading this and are in the habit of backbiting others please stop it because you are increasing sorrow in the world and high blood pressures. Why can't you go and ask the person face to face.

Good day.

THE 5 QUESTIONS THE DEVIL WILL ASK:

noreply@blogger.com (Khulekani Joromani) — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 06:05:00 -0800

And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned? (Neh 4:2 KJV)

Congratulations, you have made it into the new season. There has not been a year like this one and there will not be another like it. I am aware that there are a number of things you have started working on- inspired you bring change in your own life and your environment. With your resolutions and goals in place, it is clear to you that there will be nothing that will stop you this time. This is all wonderful but the enemy will not fold his hands and let you have you way.

When Sanballat received the report that the walls of the city were being built and coming up, he was annoyed and became indignant towards Nehemiah and his team. This led him to speak before his brethren and the army of Samaria. His words were meant to bring discouragement and cause a loss of confidence. When one loses confidence, he will not be able to accomplish that which they purpose in his heart. Sanballat asked five well crafted questions.

The good news is that there is an answer to each of the questions that the enemy will ask you in this season so don't fear and don't be discouraged. His first question was; what are these feeble Jews doing? In this question, his intention was to classify them. To put them in a position in which they would doubt their strength and abilities. Refuse for the enemy to define you. Refuse for him to tell you who you are. He will always try and portray you as a weakling. You can do all things through Christ who is your strength (Phil 4:13). In this season, you are not feeble but full of strength because the one who is inside of you is strong. Reject to be terrified by the army that is with your enemy, you are backed by Heaven itself. Nehemiah answers and says, the joy of the Lord is my strength (Neh 8:10). You are strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man in this season (Eph 3:16).

The next question he asks is, will they restore things (Fortify themselves)? The enemy will question your capacity to do the work. He will question your ability to achieve those goals. He will try to remove God from the equation and make you feel like you are on your own. Recognize that God is the Restorer. He is the one who has given you the assignment and by His power He will ensure that you fulfill your mandate. In Joel 2:25, He says I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten. You have God on your side and His ability is your ability. Refuse to doubt!

The third question was; will they try to [bride their God with sacrifices? (Amplified). The enemy will mock your acts of service, claiming a monopoly of knowledge on how God operates. Your labour in the Lord will not go unrewarded. Don't listen to the voice of the enemy that mocks your commitment to God. Love Him with all that is yours in this season.

The fourth question was; will they finish up in a day? He will question your ability to finish what you have started within the given timeframes. I want to declare today that you will finish what you have begun. The anointing is available to ensure that you complete it. It is only the enemy that wants your ventured efforts to remain unfinished monuments and a mockery. In this season, you will build that house and finish it. You will graduate with that degree; you will send that child to school. There is nothing you will fail to finish. Your hands have laid the foundation and your hands shall also finish it (Zech 4:9).

The fifth question was; will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burned? The enemy will question the ability of your resources to finish the work. He will attack your resources so that you don't move forward. Hear me today, nothing is impossible with God, He will turn rubble into building blocks if you only can believe Him to do it. This must be your season to be celebrated and to show forth the glory in your life. You will not remain a captive to the methods of the enemy.

Rise up in confidence as you declare the word of the Lord. This is your year, this is your season and this is your time! Manifest because you can.

NeW YEAR GREETINGS

noreply@blogger.com (Khulekani Joromani) — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 01:00:00 -0800

New Year greetings!
I hope I find you well. How was the festive holiday?
We start again this year with the same message: "AnaMwari Anotyei?" You might be on fire because of prayers of the beginning of the year or you might be groaning in pain because of goals that were not achieved this past year. Let me tell our God is the same as He was last year and He will be the same in 2011 and in 2012.

What it then means is in Him we find all the solutions to our problems.Nomatter how big it might seem, nomatter how people might laugh at you if you remain in Him you will definitely overcome every challenge. It might be that you sinned against God; He is willing to reconcile with you and to forgive you, be able to forgive yourself and ask for forgiveness from God.
We may try every other solution but only one will be left out 'TRUSTING IN GOD'. Start on a new page this year with the Lord. When we were at school there was certain teacher who would write a comment "SEE ME" when you write something silly. Your book was marked this last year and God is saying to you "SEE ME". Get to understand what He wants from you this year and you will be fruitful.
Have a marvelous year.

Refuse to die

noreply@blogger.com (Khulekani Joromani) — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 05:58:00 -0800

Jesus says in John 10:18 "No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded." NLT If we follow his footsteps we should be able to do the same.

When the right time came he offered his life not those who killed him. When we are faced with difficult situations the honours is on us to give up or not.Don't surrender too soon even if things are really bad.

The world is full of dissapointments so don't add to what is already to full capacity. What is needed from you is courage and motivation because its still very little.

Don't fall before you're pushed - English Proverb

Even if you have not achieved all your goals in 2010 don't be hard on your self. Goals can be revised and achieved. Don't wrry about whta they will say whom you have told. Even if you had achieved it thay will say anything.

Teaching on Obedience and Disobedience.

noreply@blogger.com (Khulekani Joromani) — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 02:31:00 -0800

Obedience is the practical acceptance of the authority and will of God. It includes both submitting to Him and then expressing that submission in actions, words and thoughts. To be obedient is to be in agreement with God. To be in agreement with God is to be in a position of power in Christ.Disobedience is caused by rebellion and distrust of God. To be disobedient is to yield to self-will instead of surrendering to God and desiring His will in all things.

God expects obedience (Deuteronomy 11:26-28).
To choose Christ is to choose obedience (John 14:15,21).
To become disobedient is to sin or rebel against God (I Sam 15:22,23).

What the Bible Says
"See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse -- the blessing if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the commands of the Lord your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known" (Deut 11:26-28).

"But Samuel replied: Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king" (I Samuel 15:22,23).

"If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land" (Isaiah 1:19).
"If you love me, you will obey what I command....Whoever has my commands, and obeys them he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him" (John 14:15,21).
"Why do you call me, "Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?" (Luke 6:46)
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says" (James 1:22).

Correcting The Sin of Disobedience
The following suggestions should help you discover areas of either deliberate or subconscious disobedience to God and to those in authority over you. Begin by asking yourself whether you are obeying God in different areas of your life, such as personal relationships, your behavior, God's lordship in your marriage or job or other areas, personal devotions, etc. Take an honest inventory of your life.
Thank God for areas of disobedience you may discover.

Once identified, they can be removed. This will result in new joy and greater faith. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). "Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 5:20). "Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (I Thessalonians 5:18).

Confess the disobedience as sin. Ask God for forgiveness and claim His promise of complete pardon. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (I John 1:9). If your act of disobedience involves others who are in authority over you, you must rectify the situation with them. The Bible teaches that we can and should live at peace with ourselves and others.

Disobedience to God and those in authority over you can block the joy, blessings and inner peace which God desires for you.
Use your will to relinquish each specific act of disobedience. Denounce even the desire to be disobedient. As Paul did, compel your flesh and its soulishness to obey. The Bible says that as a Christian, you have mighty weapons of warfare which will break down walls of disobedience. Rely on the faith of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Plan specific actions. Ask forgiveness of others, make amends where needed. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law" (Galatians 5:22,23). As each of these qualities develops in you, you will find not only the sin of disobedience fading, but other sins as well.

When Praying
Pray that the fruit of the Spirit, faithfulness to God and other people, be produced within you.Thank and praise God for revealing your disobedience to you and for giving you meekness (submissiveness) and love for Him and others -- even your enemies. Rejoice in your new freedom and joy in the Lord as you realize that you are free from bondage of disobedience.

Take a piece of paper and draw a vertical line down the center. To the left of the line list the areas in which you have been disobedient. To the right of the line list the alternatives of obedience. Begin to act on the alternatives, forming new life patterns.

Stay blessed

THIS BEGINNING 2

noreply@blogger.com (Khulekani Joromani) — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 02:27:00 -0800

"This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him." (John 2:11 KJV)

Jesus invited to a wedding celebration in Cana. When His mother realised that the wine had ran out, she went to Jesus and told Him, "...they have no wine." Wine is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, the active power of God that created the whole universe. The statement that the mother of Jesus says is that of realisation of a pressing need that was there. Her expression of it to Jesus was a petition.

When Mary presents the petition to Jesus, full of faith and belief she tells the people, "Whatsoever he says unto you, do it." Today I want you to know that extra ordinary miracles come out of the obedience of extra ordinary instructions. Jesus went on to give instructions that were somewhat bizarre and way out of the ordinary. As they obeyed his directives, the greatest wine was produced that day. They filled the purification pots with water to the brim and when they had done so, Jesus commanded them to draw. There is a principle here; you can only draw after you have filled. There is need to build capacity for you to be able to fulfil that which you are called for. You could never become the greatest before you have put time and effort towards that.

The Bible records that, "This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth His glory and His disciples believed on Him." This miracle was the grand opening of Jesus' ministry. It was a showcase of what He came to earth to do.

I want to speak to you today and tell you that the seasons have turned around for you. As you march into 2011, there will be some defining moments in your life. I know you might have had many beginnings before but may this season go down into the history of your life as 'this' beginning. When Jesus entered this season of miracles, even the men that were following him now believed in Him. They had walked with Him, not really sure of the authenticity of what he was saying to them but on this day, His glory was manifested and they believed on Him.

There is a turnaround coming into your life. Forget your pain riddled history. Forget the confusion of the past. Forget about those who left you. In this season glory is going to be manifested in your life. You carry answers for your community. The Holy Spirit that lives in you is seeking expression in every facet and area of your life. When this manifestation takes place, the world around you will have to see the glory. I declare that 2011 will not be the same for you. You are beginning, you are commencing and you are making history. Bid farewell to a life of mediocrity because what has begun in you is a great thing.

Subject: THIS BEGINNING 1: FROM THE SHEPHERD'S DESK

And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. (Num 17:8 KJV)

Contention was the order of the day. There was need for an ultimate proof to seal the ministry and calling of Aaron as a priest. His power to represent had been mostly resisted by the people he and Moses were leading. In reaction to this, God asked Moses to collect rods from all the tribes including the rod of Aaron. These were taken into the very presence of God in the tabernacle. A rod is a dry stick meant to be used for various purposes and it was mostly carried by the men. It was a symbol of his authority and part of his day to day fashion. Time would fail me if I go into the history of how the rod became a rod. It obviously had to go through the process of drying up.

The Lord commanded Moses to bring the twelve rods into the tabernacle. Behold, the rod of Aaron was budded, and brought forth buds and bloomed blossoms and yielded almonds. Here is a dead rod with no future, no attachment to soil and no one watering it defying natural processes. It brought forth buds and bloomed flowers and yielded fruits overnight. How is this possible? The presence of God in which the dry stick had been placed turned its disadvantages into advantages, its disaster into destiny and its downfall into a lifting up. The presence of God became the soil to give nutrition to this dry stick; it became the water for it to become fruitful. Overnight, the unexpected happened because God was on Aaron's side.

I must speak to you today because there are things that God would want you to know. It is your season and it is the time for your story to change. God is on your side and as you dwell in His presence, things are changing. They might have called you a dry stick; your environment might seem like a dry stick. You might have been banished to death and destruction, but hear my voice today! You've been placed in the presence of God. You are budding, blossoming and yielding almonds. This is your beginning and not your end.

I don't care who you are not connected to, that does not matter. If there was no need for connection to the soil for this dry stick to be fruitful then there is no need for any earthly connection for you. God is about to turn the hearts of people who don't know you to favour you. His presence gives you access to things you never imagined. When Obededom took the ark of the presence of God into His house, everything he had was blessed in three months. Did you hear that, everything of his was blessed (2 Sam 6:11)! That is what the presence of God does, it even changes your skin complexion; you will begin to glow because of His glory. Even the grass that grows at your house will be unmistakably blessed. You will be forever green even in the time when the rain does not fall.

You my friend are not a dry twig, your finances are not dry, your marriage is not dry, your children are not dry, your ministry and business know no dryness! The presence of the Lord Has changed all that. Today your territory has been invaded by the presence of God. It has become God's territory. The impossible has been set in motion for you. This word has been activated in heaven, take it and move into your place. It is a now Word, expect overnight miracles. That dryness will not continue henceforth. You are budding, blooming and yielding fruit. Will you believe God with me?
