Let His will be done :) (7 years later the blog post has spoken to me.)

I wrote this piece 7 years ago. It has been 7 years of ups and downs,  moments of bliss and a times moments of sorrow. Today the Lord reminded me of  His perfect will on me.

As human beings, we tend to resist or even avoid what God plans and desires us to do.We try and focus on increasing our plans,we forget our obligation as human.We ought to turn back to our first calling...serving God.
We all end up in misery and disappointment. After grouses and pains, thus when we remember our first calling.
Why wait till then?
Our God is loving,compassionate,abounding in perfect love and mercy (Psalm 86:16).His arms are ever  open wide asking for a chance to take control in your life.Give God the chance to drive you.You will avoid heart breaks...only if you let Christ drive you to the right person.You will have peace in that job...only if you let God provide in His abundance,avoid the back door!
Jonah hid from God,little did he know...God is omnipresent.You too, you will not walk your way for long,He is not yet done with you.Only his will shall prevail in your life.
READ (Jonah 1).
Lord,i inoculate my life from unplanned misery.Let your will take preeminence in my life.For i have only one life,one life to adore you.Lead me according to  your plans and purpose, for i give myself away to you.Amen.

The Perfect Peace.

Have you ever wondered how the perfect peace dawns in your life? Please lets have a chat...

The key element in true lasting peace is the presence of God.In Isaiah 26:3 the Bible says-"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast,because he trust in you".The awesomeness of the whole matter comes when you escalate your faith and learn to trust in His word.
Perfect peace not only dull our pains,it enables us to face an avalanche of hardship and difficulty and still have the inner peace that surpasses all human understanding.
READ Philippians 4:7
In that vein,there are a few walks of faith that solidify the perfect peace:

• Focus on God- Learn to focus on He that created you.He has a divine purpose for your existence.When you concentrate on that problem,you see it being bigger and difficult to handle.Train your self to always mediate the will of God in every situation.
• Trust Him- Keep your hope and trust upon Christ,the Bible says in Psalm 127:1 -"Unless the Lord builds the house,the builders labor in vain.Unless the Lord watches over the city,the guards stand watch in vain." .You ought to trust unto the Lord.Sometimes,He uses His tribulations to reveal more of Him unto you.His word is a solid -rock,giving hope to the world,with promises which He ever Honors.
• Meditate on His Word -Learn His word daily.Make it a daily feast.In Psalm 119:165-"Great peace have those who love your law,and nothing can make them stumble."

Follow the statutes of God,let them be the anchor of your life as a youth.By so doing you will realize the PERFECT PEACE in Christ.
Shalom.

Chasing after Vanity

“Meaningless! Meaningless!   says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
    Everything is meaningless.”

 What do people gain from all their labors? Ecclesiastes 1:2-3

I have gone through a lot on the recent past.I have searched for a place here on earth to haven my issues in life all being in vain.As i felt  that this would be the snapping point,a felt encouraged by the verse above,that everything here on earth is vanity.

This sounded very true to me,for i lack not,but am not settled.Have you ever wondered why people lack contentment in what they have.They will never rest in search for greatness,wealth,fame.etc.My faith directs me to seeking Christ the more,for everything shall be added unto me.(Mathew 6:33).I thus plead thee,seek Christ in the days of your youth.Keep aside the issues that inhibit your presence in Christ face here on earth.

I know am poor in making decisions,but for this i will.I will seek His face more,for the things in this world are all vanity of vanity...leading to frustrations and confusing.Thus having a litany of complaints every sunset.

Yes.I will seek Christ's face the more.

Shalom.

Unhealthy Vows.

Ezekiel 36:26 as a promise: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."

What is a vow? What comes to your mind when you hear of it? Is it when a lady commits to stand with her man till death? or a man promises his lady of not walking out ? Vows like these are seen positively, as a God-given privilege, and are something most singles long for. However, not all vows are positive. In fact, some can sabotage romantic love and hinder singles from making it the wedding altar.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines a vow as an "earnest promise that binds one to a specific mode of behavior".

·   Unhealthy vows are rooted in deception

Many of us make vows which are rooted in deception, i will confirm this. If i underwent a break-up, that doesn't guarantee me to vow not to engage again, due to the heartbreak...(I’m just giving  an example).Would my ex-girlfriend then condemn all men and say that all men are liars, will she make a vow not to allow any other man in her life? Many of our vows after a heartbreak are all rooted in deception. If you have made a vow which you feel being unhealthy in your life, more so after a break-up.

The first step to overcome is to ask the Holy Spirit to guide you as you reveal each lie that you believed in. Then, pray and confess His truth, because faith comes through hearing God's Word (Romans 10:17).

·     Unhealthy vows are ways we try to protect ourselves and try to make up on what we think God can't do for us

Many of us have been brought up in various lugubrious environs i.e. broken marriages. I am a victim of the same. I could have vowed never to get to marriage because i have lived to see marriages as disappointing. The same concept applies to the singles who pray and wait earnestly to get the"one".And when it doesn't happen, we can feel ignored, abandoned or orphaned by God. And, if He doesn't care about our personal lives, then we'll just have to take care of ourselves by making a vow, right?

To overcome this we need to shoot up our trust in Christ, as He promised (Hebrews 13:5). Acknowledge His love and ask Him if you have believed any lies about His presence in your life. Again, confess the truth and accept it.

·   Vows can hinder our Emotional Healing

Making unhealthy vows is like refusing to take prescribed medication while ailing. The only victim who ends up in pain is you. As a result, The Great Physician is not allowed in to take healing to that which is ailing. Some people have a difficult time getting real with God. If you struggle with sharing your true emotions with Him, remember that He knows how you feel anyway, so you might as well tell Him everything. This is the third step in overcoming vows. 

Take your emotional pain to God and invite Him into it. You can trust Him and He wants you to cast your cares on Him (1 Peter 5:7).

·     Remember that Christ wants to set you free.

Are you still entangled in these unhealthy vows? Jesus is ready to set you free. These happen as a gradual process, just like peeling an onion, it happened in layers rather than in an instant. The key thing is to keep Praying and holding your faith unto Christ.

He said in Ezekiel 36:26 as a promise: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. “He is so true to His promises.

After tasting His doings, i know He can do it to anyone for He has done it for me.Will you try Him?

Shalom.

No! - My Vitamin :)

Isaiah 22:22 I will place on his Shoulder the Key to the house of David;what he opens no-one can shut,and what he shuts no-one can open.

I just found the above verse as i was reading my Bible.It's revelation comes in my ways.I wish to share what i have for you single men and women of God.Lets get rolling.
I know you are looking for a WOG (Woman Of God)-if you are a man,likewise a MOG (Man Of God) if you are a lady.
I have come to witness various struggles that one goes through in the 'search',you sleep late smsing,you sacrifice you resources (time and money) in the search.etc.
My word to the MOG's in the house,it will cost you nothing to treat that young faithful as you establish an overture.
This is how chivalrous men do;They pray for commitment and God's direction.They are always ready for any response.They take Yes and thank God.Then they ask God for directions.They take a NO and thank God.They take it as a vitamin.That not withstanding,they break the bridges behind them now that things can't work out.They pray for serenity,and never change in how they are.They have no avenge.May be they were late for the overture.They avoid stalking.That's a MOG.

To the WOG in the house,i salute you all in the name of our Lord,i wish to be very soft-minded in your case.I understand you have your own lives too,but we (MOG) are looking for partners.When approached,don't change the MOG to a resource site...then give him a NO at the end.It really hurts.If you are in a relationship,be honest with yourself,you can never lie to yourself.You cannot love two MOGs at the same time,maybe if confused...You need to focus!Avoid wasting each other's time.As a MOG,i would be glad to take a NO-without wasting much time with you.
If Yes,mean it.Well,hope am not much unto that because you Know!

I have learnt that He who created the Lock has the Key,and only Him can open to a life partner,for the bible says:" Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it. -Isaiah 30:21"
Shalom.

Kenya #Weareone

Psalm 18:47 "He is the God who pays back those who harm me; he subdues the nations under me".

Hold your faith,stand firm have a little patience and assurance knowing  your creator,the most High God.He alone avenges for His people.The bible says in Psalm 18:47 "He is the God who pays back those who harm me; he subdues the nations under me".

Fellow Kenyans,God has the ability to subdue the enemy for us.For we are more than conquerors in Christ.We need to pray more for peace and tranquil in our land.The enemy is defeated and is feeble ,he is a liar who comes only to steal,kill and destroy.Let us not give him a portion in your hearts and mind.
The enemy is cunning-Keep watch.He is here to bring confusion and division in our land,but KENYANS ARE ONE.We stand for the words of our National anthem.,"May we dwell in unity"

Thus I am grateful to all those who have supported affected in the #Westgate tragedy.Your cash,your material contribution towards the same has shown the strong love abiding  KENYA.
Remember,our God is rich,all silver and gold belong unto Him (Haggai 2:8).He will repay you back in many folds.To those who have donated blood-God richly bless you for your kind-heart spirit eminent on the same.
Lets keep the spirit a blazing-The Kenyan Spirit of Love.

That not withstanding,I send  sincere condolences to all those affected on the same.May Christ's peace which surpasses all human understanding grace you in these trying period.Be calm and know that He alone is God,who has brought Kenya at 50.I say this with confidence,that you have a purpose for Christ in Kenya and in the whole world at large ,you shall not die a pre-mature death.If you still don't believe it,believe in my God until your confidence in Him kicks in.

He who lives in us is greater than the one in the world.-1 John 4:4

Your position of Royalty in His Kingdom.

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me and I will show you great and mighty things which you know not.

I am always encouraged by the above words, when I remember the promise that our Lord gave us as Christians. Have you ever wondered your position in Christ as a believer? Have you ever thought of these? I’ve got a few lessons to share with you.Join me in a this published teet-a-tete.

•   In Romans 8:14-15 ‘because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the Spirit that makes you slave again to fear, but you received the spirit of Sonship, and by Him we cry Abba Father.’

The above verse speaks it all. Imagine being called the Son of the Most High God. It is from  Him that  all the other kings reign, think of these, being associated with the state’s royal family. A son to the President…ok or maybe a daughter in law or a son in law to the president. That raises you status quo. Here Jesus Christ gives you a chance to be a co-heir with Him in heaven, imagine! If you realize that, you will take yourself in a noble way as the son of God.

•    In 2 Timothy 2:20-21 ‘In a large house there are many vessels not only made of gold and silver but also made of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the master’.

Not to add much the verse is self-explicit, you get to see where the Lord will places you once you cleanse yourself and  accept to be used of Him. Let’s identify ourselves and the roles we can play for the Master. Thus we will realize the position of royalty given to us by Him.

Peter had realized his position of royalty in Jesus Christ, thus he was the first and the last disciple to walk on water like Christ (Mathew 14:22-33). If you get to know how big you are in Christ, you won’t relent when someone asks you to stop while pursing your dreams.

I once heard;

‘If you become casual in your dreams, you will end being a casualty’-Les Brown.

Then with the confidence derived from the scriptures, I believe you are capable of doing great things, soaring great heights and even dreaming big.

The only secret in identifying your position of Royalty in Christ Kingdom is to put your faith on board, then be prayerful  as well as you’ve got  inoculate yourself against the pessimism in life.

We serve a great King.

Shalom.

He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 3:14 

Have you ever found yourself crying unto God over situations which seems difficult to navigate .I always find myself in such, but one thing I have realized, our God is ever faithful. As its stated in Numbers 23:19 our God is not a man to lie. He fulfills everything to the letter.

Tonight I want to encourage that youth who feels low over his/her life, due to the past mistakes, addictions or even heartbreaks. Kindly don’t develop delusions over your life, have the faith, pray unto the Father. For I tell you that he who kneels before God can stand before anyone.

Avoid the litany of grouses in your life, let Christ handle your it. Be calm and focused, let the King of kings handle your issues, release them all unto Him. A wise man once said; ”At times you can’t know how much you need God’s help until you are opposed”. Thus he knew you need Christ to stand unopposed in every situation. Thus the question begs, how many times have you ever included Christ before your endeavors?

Let me get to bed now, lest the mosquitoes call for a banquet :)

Shalom.  

Why are you Single?

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:-Ecclesiastes 3:1

[This post was borrowed and shared from ‘This Best Friend I never Had’ by Ducie Nyambu]

Singleness. The gift no one wants. The season no one wants to be granted, and the place that feels like you've discovered a deeper level of alone.

This must be a mistake. He did say, “It is not good for man to be alone,” right? So, why hasn't He fixed this problem? Why does He let this error persist when there’s someone here ready and willing to solve it?

Is it possible that there’s been no mistake made? Is it possible that there’s intent behind your single status? Yes.

Instead of constantly trying to get out, maybe we should consider why we’re in. Instead of loathing maybe we should be celebrating. Instead of frantically questioning maybe we should peacefully be trusting.

What is the proper response to singleness? Here are a few thoughts.

I would argue that signing up for e Harmony or church hopping to find the one with the most available young people isn't the answer. I’m all for dating and getting yourself around other singles, but I have to believe there’s more intent behind this season than teaching you the right places to find a date.

Instead of preoccupation with finding the man or woman you want to marry, use this season to become the man or woman that God wants you to be. We’re very quick to find fault in God and others, but rarely willing to consider how we might need to grow. A humble heart will see singleness as a time to draw near to the Lord and reflect on how you need to change to become more like Him. As you follow Jesus and ask Him to transform your heart, you are going to begin to attract the right kind of man or woman.

God is in the business of protecting His children and leading us into the place of greatest joy. This means He knows what you need and when you need it. There is intent, purpose, and a reason behind this period in your life.

Sin

Maybe there’s sin that needs to be dealt with and He’s preventing you from inviting someone else into your mess. Two sinners don’t fix each other’s problems. God uses marriage and relationships for our sanctification, but He also uses singleness to spare us pain, consequence and to keep us from pulling others down. This is cause for gratitude and gratefulness, not anger and bitterness. He’s protecting all His children because He loves them.

Serve

God may need you to serve in such a way right now, where all your energy, time and attention need to be devoted to what He’s calling you into. One of my high school youth leaders didn't get married until he was 32. While he was single he gave countless hours serving our youth group for eight years. Many of the leaders that I do college ministry with today we’re impacted by his dedication that would not have been possible if he were married and starting a family. God allows singleness because this life is not about you but about His Kingdom and His purposes being accomplished. This is cause for thankfulness and joy, that our Father would invite us into His work and want us to be a part of what He’s doing.

Slow

Perhaps God just wants you to wait patiently and trust Him.

Many of us say we want Jesus to be King, but if we’re honest, it’s only true as long as he runs things the way we would do it. The second he veers from our plan we fight to take the reins back.

God knows more than you do. His plan is perfect, His timing without flaw. The ultimate question is do you desire God’s will over your own? Will you trust Him? This season might be the time to slow down, stop resisting and be thankful that God is making you into the man or the woman that He needs you to be for His purposes and for His glory.

Here are some questions to ask yourself in seasons of singleness?

1) Am I looking to get out before looking to understand why God might have me here and what he wants me to learn?

2) Are all my thoughts toward singleness bitter and resentful? What are the blessings and opportunities I am afforded during this season?

3) Do I truly believe that I have worth and value as an individual created in the image of God?

4) Am I using my extra time to contribute to the Kingdom or to question God and complain?

5) Am I banking on a relationship to fix the sin issues in my life, or am I desiring the Holy Spirit to help sanctify me now?

--------------------

Yes,i am single,but for a reason.

Cheers. 

You are God Alone.

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’- Jeremiah 33:3

He is the Creator of Heaven and earth. He created you with a definite purpose in life, that’s why the Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11 ‘For I Know the Plans I have for you, plans to prosper you, not to harm you plans to give you  hope and  future’.

I write all these with the hope that one day joy and peace will be my duo friends. Hitherto am happy because I have a gift of breath, freely given unto me.Thus I may be able to see all this happening to my life. I pray not for the Lord to remove the challenges I have, but I will ask Him to give me the courage and wisdom to win over them. I will not lower my level to suit the world; rather I will press on to the goal and win this race for the price set for me. I pray that the Lord may give me the serenity to accept all that life brings J

I have come to learn that the Lord answers in 3 ways; He says yes and gives you what you want, says no wait son, to give you something better or says No son, to give you the best. I believe He has conferred me with an answer among the 3 choices highlighted.

I wish to be inebriated of the Holy Spirit, to win over all compromises the world applauds and have the ability to say No to all forms of ungodliness (Titus 2:11), for I have seen it, there is no joy in the things of the world. They are all short lived.

Thus I say, with or without challenges, He remains to be God. For He is God Alone.

Goodnight Brethren.

‘I Love You’-Delicate,handle with Care.[re-blog]

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. -1 John 4:8

[I have re-blogged this post due to public demand :)]

As I write this, am in the process of overcoming the paradox in my life. I have been crashed and tried by the 3 magic words as they say “I Love You”.

Love is created by God. We can’t force love, love grows, it’s nurtured and seasoned with time by God. For God is Love.

The words, ‘I Love you’ are neither a jester nor a mean feat. You can have anyone you ever wish to have, only if you will be able to keep her/him.I mean if you can treasure each other with actions, not words. Many have the delusion that men are meant to show love to ladies, whom on the other end reciprocate.No,I believe that love is a two way gesture. I will always treasure you if you treasure me.I believe men on my blog will support me on this. Also I do give a room for correction.

As I pen off, this is not an ode to anyone. Just a lesson that I feel to pass to any chivalrous man out there.God created love. Don’t be like me before, don’t be desperate for love, it will follow you, just as your shadow does. Don’t misuse the 3 magic words, ‘I Love You’. Then remember your purpose in life, get cosy with anyone. More so never compromise to please anyone.

Now to my future girl, the one whom I always pray and dream of…for sure I dreamt of you yester night; when I will come for an overture, don’t play me, I am a man made of flesh, not wood. By doing so, the words ‘I Love you’ will be meaningful in my life. To those in a relationship remember that Love is not a fight but something worth fighting for.

For now I will say as i said a while ago;’ Now i will be silent,I will let the one who creates the words speak.He made the door,He made the lock,He also made the Key.

Good night brethrens.
[I guess i am now out of the paradox...but on hold :)]

Patience - A Trait to Treasure.

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, Patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.

What is Patience? It is one of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. It is thus a great trait to have as a youth for it holds much in store for us.

Want to know-> why should a youth have patience?

• ·         Necessary for self-control

Many are the compromising situations that a youth face, which without patience we get a stray. Many of us are still hold unto strong relationships, others have achieved their goals all through patience. Even the bible states in Prov 16:32

‘Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city’.

• ·         Necessary for the harvest.

Christ is coming soon for a clean and Holy Church, prepare ye the Way.Let us hold unto our faith and wait upon Christ. In all these I guarantee you that you require Patience. James 5:7-8

‘ Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near.’

• ·         Necessary for receiving the promises.

The Lord’s promises are true .He is not a man to lie (Numbers23:19).Many of us are much expecting from God, some of us for a good job, others for a good wife ,others for Education and some like me all the above. So we need to have patience in waiting. The bible says Abraham waited patiently and God granted him his prayer. Hebrews 6:15

‘And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.’

• ·         Live lives worth our calling

I do believe each one of us has a calling, a defined call that the Lord has in store for him/her. You will never know your calling unless you hope unto the Lord. Look Ephesians 4:1-3

‘1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.’

My Prayer tonight even as I pen-off is that we may ask  the Holy Spirit to grow patience in us. Even in this digital generation.

Shalom.

Faith in Jesus Christ

Hebrews 11:1

 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Brethrens its long since we had a conversation,it all because of my hustles,as a Christian Youth.

Tonight am grateful to God for this far.He alone is my Ebenezer.

Lets talk about Faith...What is faith? Hebrews 11:1 define it clearly as having hope and expectation of things not even seen.Faith is the only key concept in our Christian walk for the bible says that without faith it's impossible to please God(Hebrews11:6).Lets hang unto God and cling on our faith upon Him.

Many youths have turned away from their faith on Christ,now that they are scholars of philosophy in higher Institutions of learning.Allow me to remind you that the bible says "Only a fool says that there is no God..."(Psalms 14:1) ,it continues to say "Trust in God and lean not on your own understanding..."(Prov 3:5).Only God can change you and control your life.He alone can heal your diseases,can restore your broken relationships,can make you excel academically...the list is endless!.All He needs from you is that faith,as little  as the mustard seed,and nothing will be impossible for you.(Matthew 17:20).

I would wish to expand my post,but unfortunately i have to pen off.I leave you with Psalms 34:8 "Taste and see that the Lord is good,blessed is the man you put his trust in Him!".Then you will realize that Jesus is not only a better option but the ONLY option.

Shalom.

6 A's i've learnt for proper apology by 22.

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Hello pals,today happens to be my 22nd birthday,i really thank God for His unfailing mercies and love which are new every morning.Christ's love gives us hope,for we are made perfect each day by His mercies.
After knowing who Christ is and what He can do in my life,i devoted my life to Him ,now each day has been a learning day under His arms.It is through the above am proud of whom i am,i am a slave in Christ.He has given me the grace to share with you friends.
On my birthday i wanna share with you the
 6 A's for proper apology.

1.Admit you made a mistake,this makes life easier to work it out...many of us try to justify themselves,we end up making situations more compromised and lugubrious.
2.Apologize-"..i am sorry i did blah...blah... "Being remorseful creates a vacuum for love...
3.Acknowledge the mistake,this should not be confused with Admitting as above,Check your lifestyle,what made you err,point out things in your life that makes you commit a given mistake and drop them...
4.Attest-plan on how to fix your mistake on a given timeline,many of us walk out unconcerned,with the 'i don't care' attitude.This is not right friends.
5.Assure- i came to realize it's also worth to state the plans you have to prevent the same error in future,they said, prevention is better than cure.Learn to be smart in life to avoid some mistakes
6.Abstain-Well,its an usual norm,that is,it's a mistake to repeat a mistake...i have learnt not to cycle back to my mistakes...because in high school we used to say...once beaten twice shy!

• I am apologetic to anyone i messed up with over the past years.I pledge your forgiveness.

Much said and done.Also its noted that after a mistake,there is deprivation of love and trust from the other party.For love,where there is no love,apply love and you will get love....and what of trust?

Cheers!

I Have learnt to be thankful forever:::

^{Psalm 100: 4} Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name

Year 3 semester 2 started with exams...that can never be forgotten. The walk-ins i have made to the Main Library are indelible.Again early in the semester i was engaged in other club activities,leading EUCOSSA-our Computer Science Club in Egerton University.All in all through these,the Lord has been my Ebenezer.I can raise a banner and proclaim its not by my might nor by my strength...but by the Spirit of God.

We all have reasons to thank God.Even the breath that we take unconsciously...that is God.That academic year(it's over!) i had 13 units to tackle...that not withstanding i had a project or two.Am so grateful to God for His grace to survive all these.I remember i underwent a lot while coming up with a software project proposal which my lecturer  turned me down severally...i reprinted without ceasing,however i still submitted.
My life here in campus this year was all about trusting in God.I have suffered from a heart break,am sorry to say so,but its all my fault.(Not that am unfaithful).Well it all happens for a reason...and for all i have learnt to be thankful.
I have worked out different projects this year,and too,i have seen God's favor.Lord am thankful.
The semester has ended and i have handed over as the EUCOSSA chairperson.Am grateful to God for the time He gave me serve the club.Also for the skills of professionalism gained from EUCOSSA.This gives me a reason to thank God.
As i pen off,i also wish to share this,the Lord is so faithful,He says,call unto me and i will show you great and mighty things you know not-Jeremiah 33:3,indeed His knowledge none of us can reach.I was chosen as a Google Student Ambassador for Egerton University.This gives me a chance to serve Google in my last academic year.This also gives me a reason to thank God.Indeed He is ever faithful.
I have learnt to  be thankful forever.Join me we thank God.
Shalom.

Heart of Worship....

^{John 4:23} But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.

We were created to worship the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Every action we do, every move we take, every word we speak, every view we perceive…all these should bring glory unto Jehovah.

Worship is a lifestyle. Let’s lead a worshiping life to Christ alone. Let’s put Christ first in the preoccupations of our hearts and mind.

One more thing, worship is love…it’s an intimate thing, I understand we are all youths right?…can you attest to how much you love your girlfriend/boyfriend to whom you are in a stable relationship…can you love God more intimately than that very person?...Remember, God is the author of love, love Him and He will teach you how to love.

My Heart is owned by Christ.

Shalom.

Love...My own Confessions..

Isaiah 30:21 "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

Many are the times we feel downcasted and not worth living,we do  many things albeit wrong and against the  walking of a christian.We end up messing our first faith and become tools of the evil one.I too encountered such situations while here in campus.like sometimes you feel  being so alone,you want to do like the rest of your friends, course-mates ...you look for a partner in quench of love,just to find yourself in a lot of mess and trouble.
As Christians we need to embrace patience,and chastity ...these are the two virtues that define a true Christian youth.You will be able to know when the right time comes,or you will recognize your hour of favour!
We end up doing things out of our human knowledge,without acknowledging God.We tie up other people not to reach their divine destiny and hold their dreams as if we are immortal.
I never meant to spill this..., i thought it was nice for me to have a girlfriend,little did i know everything that comes on the way has to come with a price.This one was too expensive for me to bear.I valued my little resources and tried to share it withing my niche and found i was a kinda 'kid-father' to be.I had many dreams and expectations,but deep within my heart something still reckoned,'it wasn't time...'
Now hear i am,not heartbroken...,because God's will always takes the preeminence.I repented and surely God is faithful and just to forgive.He will always direct you with a small still voice.Now am free,am free to serve the Lord in my youth age.I am ready to proclaim His word to the nations,NOT chaining any lady with me because its only Christ who knows when the right time comes.
My word to my brother here in campus,take heed of this,look,open your eyes...there are many in the light,then go to your knees having patience and chastity in your heart.God is not a man to lie.
May the Lord teach me to wait patiently upon Him.
Shalom.

The Unfailing Love...

Christ's Love to us.

Look at the love of God,just think of His mercies,which abide in us,even when we are still sinners.His unfailing grace which helps us to move on,even in such a time as this.We can categorize all these as unmerited favor-For Christ could do all without us.But due to His love,we were redeemed from sin,He loved us that He died for us:-
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Think of this my somebody...you are a youth tonight and you don't know Christ,Look how He loves you,even before you knew Him...come to Christ for His love endures forever. Shalom.
