It is coming back to you
“Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with same measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Luke 6:38) niv
I see manifestation of this scripture daily in my life; it’s really inspirational. It requires a transformed mind and attitude. It gives me an opportunity to initiate what I want to attract into my life.
Daily in when executing my duties, I find people who are weighed down by the issues of this life many in the verge of giving up. I tell you there is a ministry as never seen before where I minister love, joy, hope, encouragement and sometimes giving financial help. I can’t find good words to explain this but every time I minister in either way, my life never remains the same. This inspiring word keeps me going, doing more and more thus being surrounded with what I have given out.
Living a purity
“Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commit are outside his body, but he sin sexually sin against his own body” (1 Corinthians 6:18) Niv
I grew up in a village in Nakuru where sexual immorality was rampant. As boys gathered they could narrate and boast of how many girls they have gone to bed with. These were very trying moments for me, but this word kept me going. I could not imagine defiling my own body. For your information my body is biologically sound. As an adult, I am grateful to God for his word which has always preserved me.
One finger, three fingers
Has it ever occurred to you that every time you point a finger towards someone else three fingers angrily points towards you? I have been a victim to this for many years, especially given to my supervisory position in organizations I have for, worsened it.
For example, it took me long to take it in of how a driver, in our beautiful city of Nairobi, could fall into the hands of city council askaris(police) to the point of being dragged to council courts. Rest assured several of them have received lectures on the ‘do’ s and don’t” .Not until recently when the tables were turned: As I was driving down one of streets, my phone rang and for safety, I decided double pack so as to pick that important call from the office. Moments later I realized I had done one of stupid things in Nairobi with two council askaris already in the car; I had not locked the car doors in the central system. Off to the council courts I swiftly drove upon many unheeded cries for mercy. It was really a very trying time for me, as I came to learn through experience that “do not judge or you too will be judged. For in the same way as you judge others, you will be judged, and with the same measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Matthew 7:1-2)
Ever since then, any case forwarded to me, is handled from a different, well informed angle.
Getting tougher and tougher
Inflation and commodities price are daily on the rise, drought has taken its huge share and the heavens have withheld rain, you can almost see questions written on every living creature’s face ‘what do we do next?’ Yes, it is true; we can do nothing but this one thing, pray; to cry for mercy from our heavenly Father.
2 chronicle 7:13-14 has always inspired me throughout these difficult times. God clearly states that “when I shut up the heaven so that there is no rain or command locusts to devour the land or send plague among my people, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land” (niv)
Kenya is, in my opinion, the best place on earth to live. It has most of the natural beauty all creations behold, but certain things need to be put in their rightful places. For example corruption, tribalism and worship of what we have and do, and idol worship, need to be scrapped from our systems for country to live in the plenty it has been blessed with and recover from present mess. This will be borne in fervent prayers to God.
