The word says, God gives rewards to His chosen one. Reward means gift. For you to come out of poverty you need gift that is why when God was taking the Israelites out of Egypt He made them to receive gifts because they were poor. Job 42:10-12 “ And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he had prayed for his friends; and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.  11  Then there came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house; they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and each of them gave him a piece of money [ a ]  and a gold ring.  12  The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand donkeys.” When Job became sick and bankruptcy for a long time, he had to receiv...

Psalm 34:7-8 “ The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. 8  O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in him.” You cannot enjoy the love of God until when you see it. You may continue to hear but if you don’t see, nothing will happen to you. If you say those who have cars boost themselves when you see them, while you also need a car, you will never have one. If you want a house but you say the landlords are very disturbing then God will never give you your own house because He knows you will also disturb others. If you see the anointed servants of God and start accusing them that they have pride you will never receive that anointing because God sees that you will also have pride. If you are married and you see men are troubles, your marriage will never change and it will always have trouble. Learn to see according to what you want to see happening in your life. If you want som...

Most people value prayers than praise, that is why there is an overnight prayer but not overnight praise. People do not know what praise can do to their life while they may know what prayers can do. Most people assume that praise is a preparation for something big as we are waiting for prayer, or a healing session. The bible says the Lord inhabit the praises of His people and He dwell in the middle of praise. Praise is the address of God. Even in the Lord’s Prayer when Jesus was teaching the disciples how to pray, He taught them that praise comes before anything “Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name .....” When the Israelites were going for the war and lost the battle twice, the prophet of God told them to let Jude go first (Jude means praise) and they won the battle after doing so. Today I challenge you, let praise go first before your hard work, prayers, fasting, binding and losing and casting out. Praise clears the way for you and prepares the path for ...

The Lord’s prayer says “ Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Give us our daily bread, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass us, lead us not into temptations but deliver us from evil ” If you cannot forgive you will not be able to pray this prayer. When you pray this prayer and say “as we forgive those who trespass us” while you are holding your wife, husband or your colleague, you are wrong. You are not supposed to pray this prayer if you have not forgive so that you don’t add another wrong before God. Because when you say forgive us as we forgive others, devil goes before God immediately to accuse you that you have prayed but in your heart you are holding three people. When God look at you He see that is true and He takes away His protection from you and then you will start seeing bad things coming to you and you don’t see any help from Him.   That is why the Bible says “when t...

Our God is good to all of us and He loves you the way you are because He bought you with the precious blood of His beloved son, Jesus Christ. God created you in His image and Likeness and His happiness is to see you serve Him with peace and joy without hating anyone. If one person decides to examine him/her self before God and knows what troubles him/her and work on it, it is easy to cause healing to another person. What troubles God’s children is unforgiveness, be it in church or in marriage. When you live with your wife or husband without forgiveness, it is easy to argue and even divorce. In my life I was troubled with anger ever since when I was a young boy, something which torched me since school until when I got married. After marrying my wife we only stayed for four months and I never desired marriage anymore because I was a person with so much anger. I saw like my wife annoys me every day and then I cried to God to take me out of that bondage. After praying, ...

A person with love learns to love and help others, but a person without love will be angry at others and may never want to see them. Jesus found us in a bad situation full of dirty but He loved and took us the way we are, cleansed us and finally we were able to be before other. If it wasn’t for His love, we couldn’t get out of where we were before. Why don’t we love one another? Why do we envy one another and we don’t want others to succeed? It’s because we have no love in us. Let us ask God to give us His love so we can take care of each other. Stick with the love of God for it to take you from one place to another and take you far. Learn to love God because when you do so, He will give love to those He has created in His image and likeness. Swahili Translation: Mtu mwenye Upendo anajifunza kuwapenda na kuwasaidia wengine, lakini akiwa hana Upendo anawakasirikia na hata hataki kuwaona. Yesu alitukuta katika hali mbaya tukiwa tumejaa takataka lakini alit...

Hope will make you act and be motivated. Without hope we cannot reach our goals, but hope will help us do accordingly towards who we are. We do as we are if hope is in us. You cannot exercise your potential until hope rises in you. When hope rises, actions according to who you are starts. If there is no hope you will do the opposite. When I was building this place, the area was a swamp, full of water, but because I was in hope, the swamp was not an issue to me, but I acted according to my hope that on this place I will build for many people to come and worship God together with me.   My physical eyes saw the challenge but my hope told me you have got what you needed. If your hope tells you yes, stand on it and don’t look at the challenge you see. Many times what we desire is not God’s desire for us because we have not learned to walk in hope. In today’s world you see a challenge of hope is everywhere, people have lost hope in God. By holding hope you will reach your...

Psalm 1:1 “ Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, Examine yourself, which group are you in? If God answers those who pray, why are you not getting answered, it means there is something wrong in your life. Search yourself and don’t wait for someone to do that for you.   We come to church to discover ourselves as the word of God says faith comes by hearing, and God do not hear a person without faith. Faith doers are recognized by God. Before you say anything to God, ask yourself, am I in faith or have I left the faith long ago. Faith walks, and you can hold it by your actions. When we understand who we are, God will know you. Without understanding yourself God will never understand you. God says you will be holy as I am, so this depends on you. You don’t need prayers but you need to walk on the word and become someone God wants you to be. God sti...

It is only love which draws God closer, that is why He said “I love those who loves Me”. This means that through love you can draw God closer to you because through love He has drawn us closer to Him.   Learn to walk in love, but you can never do that if you have not considered this verse, Romans 12:1 “ Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” When you reach a point where you offer your body as a sacrifice you will not get tired of going to church, helping others or witnessing the word of God regardless of what people say about you or criticize you. The criticism will push you to keep moving forward because you have God’s love in you. My child, may the love of God build up in you so that you may be ready to offer your body as a living sacrifice, holy for the will of God. Swahili Translation: Ni Pendo pekee lina...

Environment helps us to fulfill the purpose of our creation, that is why it needs to be redeemed. God uses our environment to test and approve us so we may rise in standard.  Through our environment we can rise and become great or fall. We can also win or fail, be approved or approve ourselves. Without being tested by the environment we cannot be great on earth. Adam and Eve failed after fighting with Lucifer. Their challenge was in the environment and not with their body, soul or their spirit.     In Genesis 3, Abraham our father in faith was tested and approved to the environment and he became a faithful person with wealth.   Jacob was blessed by God through his environment. When we rule and own our environment also we can own people and God may send us to be like Him. Jesus was taken in the wilderness to be tested with the environment for forty days. He overcame the environment and approved Himself. Jesus apostles were also tested trough environmen...

Isaiah 66:1-5 “ This is what the Lord says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? 2  Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?”declares the Lord. “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word..........” Verse 5: Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word: “Your own people who hate you, and exclude you because of my name, have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy!’ Yet they will be put to shame.” No one who is delighted to His word will be ashamed. No one trusting God will tremble. The Lord is our shepherd, our fortress, our shelter, our strength and the source of our life no matter what will happen. Worship Him because He always cares about you. Worry not about tomorrow for there is someone who always cares a...
