Yes &amp;nbsp;eventually that what we should be that when anybody looks at us they will say they are just like Jesus &amp;nbsp;but my greatest emphasis is what we release is ashes compared to what we receive Isa 61:3 &amp;nbsp;when we worship it is for our own good when we receive the word of God it is us who benefits it brings light into our lives and we can't really quantify or express even an inch of it, it is never in vain our service to God&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;1 Corinthians 15:58&lt;br /&gt; Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and now going back to our topic so it is the same case a nation under God, being a nation under God is dedicating our nation to God so that what guides us is His word this is through the bible and through the men of God God has granted us and a good example is the nation of Israel from Egypt &amp;nbsp;to the promised land from the day they took passover feast there was none among them that was sick, they didn't have to pray , it came automatically &amp;nbsp;in other words our hospitals will be emptied, you will find no disease among us, another thing is their clothes they never got worn out in our today world if you buy a car 10 years to come the car will be as good as new and not because you have taken it to the garage for maintenance no but it is being renewed by the glory of God, they never got hungry so hunger will be a thing of the past in this nation ,&lt;br /&gt;we will borrow from none it means our budget will not be financed by borrowing or overcharging taxes on the citizens but God will increase us to a level that will only lend to others but never borrow from none, we will be a dread to other nations the things God will do in our nations they will be so mighty that even people will mention Kenya with reverence, this means we will be a super power of a kind not &amp;nbsp;cause of weapons fashioned by men &amp;nbsp;but because of Jehovah &amp;nbsp;the mighty one , look at moses &amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;NLT&lt;br /&gt;Moses was 120 years old when he died, yet his eyesight was clear, and he was as strong as ever&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caleb too he was still as strong to fight at 80 as he was at 40 years of age.&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This people they carried there own atmosphere better than air conditioned room at night better &amp;nbsp;light than a stadium, &amp;nbsp;this are just a few examples we can pick from the bible but there are many others&lt;br /&gt;Many times when people choose leaders they choose for those who will solve their problem and that is why we are always disappointed &amp;nbsp;and even this year round we should not expect different results, the bible says cursed is the man who but his trust in man Jer 17;3 &amp;nbsp;even this time round even those who seem to have the best plan where God is not involved it will fail without fail it is constant &amp;nbsp;because their source of wisdom is corrupted it is like a corrupted computer software even if it may start installation it will never complete they full installation&lt;br /&gt;let us not be like pharisees, we pray pray pray , then God sends answers to us and our reply is "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Living Translation (©2007)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Search the Scriptures and see for yourself--no prophet ever comes from Galilee!"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;As i heard a bishop talk over the radio we have focused more on the &amp;nbsp;good Samaritan coming &amp;nbsp;with oil and wine but we have never thought of doing something about the Jericho road, now this is your opportune time to do something, be the godly leader who comes and takes charge &amp;nbsp;in your area.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;more scriptures&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;1 Samuel 8:7&lt;br /&gt;Amplified Bible (AMP)&lt;br /&gt;and the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken to the voice of the people in all they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not be King over them&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now to be a nation under God is for God to reign over you to be king over you&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deuteronomy 17:14-20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New International Version (NIV)&lt;br /&gt;The King&lt;br /&gt;14 When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,” 15 be sure to appoint over you a king the LORD your God chooses. He must be from among your fellow Israelites&lt;u&gt;( yani don't let people who &amp;nbsp;are not acquainted with your way of life rule over you&amp;nbsp; )&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;. Do not place a foreigner over you, one who is not an Israelite. 16 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the LORD has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” 17 He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18 When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. 19 It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees 20 and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left. Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When God reigns over us &amp;nbsp;everybody will be great no one is overlooked our focus will be more on what we can do for others rather than what a government or people can do for us we have prayed Kenya belongs to Jesus Kenya belongs to God as you understand more what that statement means, act on that knowledge until we see it came to pass that we are really a nation under God May God continually bless his people&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2983418633250543901-4862244402375578027?l=newkenya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/feeds/4862244402375578027/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/2012/02/nation-under-god.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2983418633250543901/posts/default/4862244402375578027'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2983418633250543901/posts/default/4862244402375578027'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/2012/02/nation-under-god.html' title='A NATION UNDER GOD'/><author><name>Arise and Shine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17997514496265571329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983418633250543901.post-6639185894186549247</id><published>2012-01-27T07:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-27T07:12:43.291-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Where there is no vision(divine guidance), the people perish</title><content type='html'>When a great vision is given being wherever you are in the world you ask yourself what part do i have to play to see this vision comes to pass &amp;nbsp;you do this by answering the call to be a leader in your particular area and also you can do so through your giving&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"all over Kenya the spirit is moving as the prophets said He would&lt;br /&gt;all over&amp;nbsp;Kenya&amp;nbsp; there is a mighty revelation of the glory of the Lord&lt;br /&gt;as the water covers the see "&lt;br /&gt;It is not over until we have won!

They shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight. 35 Women received their loved ones back again from death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   But others were tortured, refusing to turn from God in order to be set free. They placed their hope in a better life after the resurrection. 36 Some were jeered at, and their backs were cut open with whips. Others were chained in prisons. 37 Some died by stoning, some were sawed in half,[d] and others were killed with the sword. Some went about wearing skins of sheep and goats, destitute and oppressed and mistreated. 38 They were too good for this world, wandering over deserts and mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the ground.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;rom 8:19- 21&amp;nbsp; All of creation waits with eager longing for God to reveal his children.20 For creation was condemned to lose its purpose, not of its own will, but because God willed it to be so. Yet there was the hope21 that creation itself would one day be set free from its slavery to decay and would share the glorious freedom of the children of God&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This are the real Christian they have come to maturity and now are now sons of God what God wants to do He does through them the are not moved by anything at all, nothing offensive enough or discouraging enough to make them turn away from the lord Jesus, not even death , don't we understand some lands in Kenya that have not been productive is awaiting on you &amp;nbsp;sons (Heous) of God , businesses worth billions of shilling , and many other things. As a Christian you may have walked into an office and all the corruption you saw or the evil you saw made you to turn away from them but &amp;nbsp;i can tell you that this&amp;nbsp; is a mentality of a babe in the things of God when you get a friend of yours talking like this remind them that it is time to put childish things away. When a heous walks in to that office He sees opportunity to cause change, He says to himself &amp;nbsp;if am in this office so i can make a lot of changes. and if He may not physically be there he will post an able man of God through His prayers We were sent to uproot and tear down, destroy and overthrow and build up and plant. Jer 1:10 &amp;nbsp;there is therefore no helpless situation where we can say there is nothing we can do.&lt;br /&gt;God has spoken His word on this land of who we are and &amp;nbsp;our purposes to the world we should not wait for a miracle to happen because we are that miracle going to happen. The word of God cannot be fulfilled by evil men especially now that it is for the advancement of the kingdom of God so we must stand up and take &amp;nbsp;position , it is not by being fluent and rowdy in our speech or excellency of language that we will take over this land but by the spirit of God all God wants is willing men and women.&lt;br /&gt;Let us be wise God spoke that children of Israel they will be in bondage for 400 years yet cause there was no man that was watching they stayed 30 more years in bondage and it was to their blame moses was already born strong yet the people took it easy in Egypt until the oppression was too much and then they cried out to God.&lt;br /&gt;satan was very happy and pleased with what he did in Kenya in 2007 and this year or early next year &amp;nbsp;he is planning for more destruction he is a destroyer so all he wants to see is the country &amp;nbsp;entirely destroyed &lt;br /&gt;don't sit and just pray you must be a radical giver &amp;nbsp;this year &amp;nbsp;and make it your habit we have heard some of our politician use evil to come to power they use so much money to see to it they get to power whether &amp;nbsp;true or not we don't take chances it may cost your life don't let your money just lie in the bank release it to the work of God the bible says &amp;nbsp;our riches have been given as a ransom for our lives (pro 13:8) , even if we have formed laws to entangle us we can overcome &amp;nbsp;them. do not see a church project in your area and turn your eyes from them even if is putting your money on an envelope write on top the purpose or leave for the minister of God to decide , don't write your name and send even someone to drop it on the altar and the God who sees in secret will see to it what we are trusting Him for will come to pass.&lt;br /&gt;When you get the opportunity do not be afraid to say you are Christian and talking big for God it is only babes who still have the mentality that they can use God to get what they want, &amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Romans 8:28&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. &lt;/span&gt;how can you use God when you have come to understand that the reason why you are saved &amp;nbsp;and still on earth it is for His purpose not your own &amp;nbsp;and how can you be afraid that people will not vote for you when He says he will cause things to work for your your good it is far much better you talk out and loose than be silent and win, yet you will not loose this time round.&lt;br /&gt;Go and win personally i have made up my mind that this nation will not be ruled by people who don't have the interest of God's kingdom in their heart i &amp;nbsp;pray it will be your heart desire too &lt;br /&gt;Stay blessed and always remember that this nation belongs to Jesus. &amp;nbsp;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2983418633250543901-7803358291327682083?l=newkenya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/feeds/7803358291327682083/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/2012/01/80-of-kenyans-are-christians.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2983418633250543901/posts/default/7803358291327682083'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2983418633250543901/posts/default/7803358291327682083'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/2012/01/80-of-kenyans-are-christians.html' title='80 % OF KENYANS ARE CHRISTIANS !!!'/><author><name>Arise and Shine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17997514496265571329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983418633250543901.post-8260328279628924163</id><published>2011-05-30T02:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-30T02:55:21.515-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Talk your prayer</title><content type='html'>&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #001320;

But as civilization set in there was campaign for equality for a gal child to and surely&lt;br /&gt;we have seen alot of changes ;more schools for girls more, more job opportunities for them in all fields and many more and we are more than greatful to God for it.&lt;br /&gt;But what is it about a man that made even one of the former US president complained that a heir have &lt;br /&gt;not been produced for Him what is it about a man that some husbands have gone to an extent of beating their wives even divorcing thier wives (we don't support this)&lt;br /&gt;but because of the wrong reasons of wanting to have a male child some of these men that some came through &lt;br /&gt;much pain have now turned to be all kind of evil things,in various sects that have terrorised people &lt;br /&gt;and did some acts that are unmentionable!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But where is our place in God how does He see a manare we valuable before him and does He hold us in high esteem ?&lt;br /&gt;and the simple answer is Yes !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;He sees us through the eyes of Jesus meaning all men have been called to be like Christ&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that God needs only to get to a single man and his whole family will be saved glory to God &lt;br /&gt;look at Joshua , &lt;br /&gt;15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, &lt;br /&gt;whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. &lt;b&gt;But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;look at the jailer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16:33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; &lt;b&gt;then immediately &lt;br /&gt;he and all his household were baptized.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;, look at Cornelius &lt;br /&gt;acts 10:24  &lt;b&gt;Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message &lt;br /&gt;Yes when God had cornelius he had his family relatives and friends ,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;look at what God testified of Jesus&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Is 54:10&amp;nbsp;   &lt;b&gt;and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and look at how much Jesus was consumed to doing the will of the father&lt;br /&gt;jn4:34 &lt;b&gt;“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 2:17 And His disciples remembered that it is written [in the Holy Scriptures], &lt;b&gt;Zeal (the fervor of love) &lt;br /&gt;for Your house will eat Me up.[I will be consumed with jealousy for the honor of Your house.](A)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Romans 15:3&lt;b&gt;For Christ did not please Himself [gave no thought to His own interests]&lt;/b&gt;;

When imprisoned in &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Gath&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;, he wrote Psalm 56 - cf.

Fleeing from Absalom, he wrote Psalm 3 - cf.

From Psalm 63, we see that David overcame his problem of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;loneliness by...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;a. Seeking the Lord - Ps 63:1-2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;b. Praising and praying - Ps 63:3-5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;c. Meditating upon the Lord - Ps 63:6-7&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;4. In each of these psalms, David is basically saying the same &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;thing...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;a. In time of trouble, put your trust in the Lord&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;b. Stay close to Him, through praising Him and praying to Him&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;c.

Ps 63:8&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;[This was how "David strengthened himself in the Lord his God", and was&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;able to face and overcome his problems with the help the Lord gave him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;CONCLUSION&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;1.

In times of trouble, look to the Lord for your strength!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;b. Trust in the Lord, and be steadfast in praising Him and praying &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;to Him&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;c.

text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;

font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The first term that describes David's brand of leadership is that he shepherded the people. To shepherd means to care for. This means that David not only ruled over the people but he also loved and cared for them. When tending sheep, a shepherd knows each member of his flock intimately. In fact, he knows them by name. If one of them wanders off, he goes after them and sacrifices himself to save the sheep. Asaph says that David shepherded the people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;INTEGRITY OF HEART&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The second quality mentioned in Asaph's description is integrity. Integrity means maintaining the highest ethical and moral standard. It means that David ruled with pure motives and with the best of intentions. David did make mistakes. But, when he made mistakes he owned up to them and never made excuses for them. He asked forgiveness and then returned to God's ways. Integrity breeds trust. When people can trust that you have their best interests at heart and not simply their own, then they will follow you like they did King David.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;SKILLFUL HANDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Third, Asaph says King David led them with skillful hands. In Today's language, this means David worked hard to understand and execute the best leadership and management practices. If he were alive now, he would read top leadership authors, go to seminars and even hire a coach or mentor in order to hone his leadership abilities and style.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;HUMILITY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Philippians 2:1-8; “If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Note: There is no limit to the good a man can do, if he doesn’t care who gets the credit. Pride is the strength of sin. Joseph is a great example of humility: he served his father, brothers, Potiphar, jailer, and finally Pharaoh. Men rejected him, misunderstood him, imprisoned him, mocked and ridiculed him, yet he triumphed because of his humility.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;What kind of a Leader was King David? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;"Then three of the thirty chief men went down and came to David in the harvest time to the &lt;st1:placetype w:st="on"&gt;cave&lt;/st1:placetype&gt; of &lt;st1:placename w:st="on"&gt;Adullam&lt;/st1:placename&gt;, while the troop of the Philistines...was then in &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Bethlehem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;"And David bad a craving and said, 'Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Bethlehem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; which is by the gate!' So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Bethlehem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; which was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;"Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the Lord, and he said. 'Be it far from me, 0 Lord, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?' Therefore he would not drink it." (II Sam. 23:13-17) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;David did not take the devotion of his three mighty men for granted; he greatly valued their lives. He could not quench his thirst with the sweet water for which his men had risked human life. His response was to worship the Lord with the water. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Sadly, it seems that many leaders in &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Africa&lt;/st1:place&gt; drink the blood of their people (figuratively speaking) without a second thought. It is not just political leaders who show a lack of love and concern for the people they lead. The ordained servants of the church do it too! The educated, the elite, and the elected abuse those they lead. The pastors and bishops often abuse their power with total disregard for the needs of the people. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Two thousand years ago, our Lord Jesus Christ said to his disciples, "The rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. " (Matt. 20:25.28) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;What we need are men and women who will be servant leaders.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;from the life of king David we can learn the following on servant leadership&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;1. A SERVANT LEADER HAS A HEART FOR GOD &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;King David came from very humble beginnings. He was a forgotten child, the last of eight brothers, and had been assigned the humble duty of tending his father's sheep. His anointing by Samuel as the future King of Israel surprised even his father Jesse. Samuel had to force Jesse to call David to come to the sacrifice. The Lord had warned Samuel not to consider appearances only, for God looks at the heart. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;David's heart was right with God, and as we read in 1 Samuel 16:13, "from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came upon David in power" after Samuel anointed him. David's first state assignment was to carry King Saul's armour and play the harp when the king was under the attack of an evil spirit. David's presence always caused the evil spirit to lose its power over Saul. The first quality a Christian leader needs is to be filled with the Spirit of God. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;A heart for God brings humility and repentance. David's taking of Bathsheba for his eighth wife and the murder of her husband probably depicts David at his lowest point in his spiritual life. But after reading Psalms 51, it is easy to understand why Nathan could say in II Samuel 12:14, "The Lord has taken away your sin...." David genuinely and openly repented.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The primary thing a leader needs is a heart which is right with God. An effective &amp;nbsp;leader must be a mature Christian who is established in his or her faith. Such a leader has a reputation for integrity, though deeply aware of his or her own weaknesses. Furthermore, he needs to have emotional resilience which will help the leader to humbly, with God's help, accept the criticism and overcome the human failures that the leader will face from time to time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;2. A SERVANT LEADER MUST HAVE WISDOM &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Leaders also need to have a command of basic facts,possess relevant knowledge and be able to analyze problems so as to make decisions that bring glory to God.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;David was a born tactician. The way he handled Goliath (I Sam. 12) illustrates this. Though be was young, he was angry with Goliath for defying the armies of the living God. David's brother, Eliab, tried very hard to discourage him with abusive and belittling language, but David just disregarded him. David was also discouraged by King Saul but replied that he would kill Goliath just like be had killed a lion and a bear. David courteously refused King Saul's heavy coat of Armour since he was not used to it and preferred his primitive weapon, a sling and stone, to fight Goliath. David was able to gather all the facts, analyze the data available and organize his forces to meet die challenge.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;David was also a very effective administrator. When he became King of both &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Judah&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, his first act was to attack and conquer &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;. He then went on to defeat all the enemies of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. David set up an effective government to run the country. His cabinet was&lt;strong&gt; composed of the effective, capable men&lt;/strong&gt;. In I Chronicles 18:14-17, it records that David "reigned over all &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, doing what was just and right for all people." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;King David not only provided an efficient government. He went on to strengthen the spiritual life of the nation. David organized to bring the Ark of the Covenant into &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; (II Sam. 6). Though God didn’t allow David to build the temple, David started to prepare by collecting building materials and bought the site where the temple would be built by his son Solomon. David established the temple administrative system and set up the temple music school. He personally composed some of the songs that were sung by the temple choirs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;As David illustrates, having a title (like King) does not mean a refusal to work hard in serving the people. Gifts of organization and wise planning are valuable tools with which the leader can save others&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;3. A SERVANT LEADER HAS RESPECT FOR OTHERS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;leaders should develop social skills and a sensitivity to others. Alongside these, they need to be mentally alert to changes and be creative in the way they react to the changes around them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;David's first activity after he became king was to give to the people a symbol of unity: a capital city. They went out to take &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; from the Jebusites (I Sam. 5:6-16) and established a new capital which all the Israelites felt they owned. King David moved his government to the new capital and thus became in every way the leader of all the Israelites. In &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;, no Israelites were foreigners and strangers, nor excluded because of former allegiances. They became fellow citizens who shared common victories, responsibilities, trials, and opportunities. &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:city&gt; became a focus of the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;united kingdom&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;David deeply believed that authority ultimately has to be earned. After the death of King Saul, David was appointed King of Judah. It took another seven years and six months for him to win the confidence of the other eleven tribes of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. David wisely and patiently waited for the elders of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; to come and invite him to be their King (II Sam. 5:3). He did not demand total power. David made wise decisions, which ultimately benefited the people. Truly, he reigned over &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, doing what was right for ALL the people. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Perhaps the clearest mark of a servant leader is his attitude toward others. Does he seek ways to help them develop their ministries? Does he prefer others before himself? (Phil. 2: l-8). Like Jesus, the servant leader willingly picks up the towel to wash the feet of others (Jn. 13:1-15; Mark 10:45). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Even when the leader must correct a brother, his goal is to serve the other for his good (II Tim. 2:24-26). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;4. A SERVANT LEADER MUST BE TEACHABLE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Church leaders need to develop balanced learning habits if they are to lead the church into the next century. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;David was a simple shepherd boy when Samuel anointed him the future King of Israel. When David took food supplies to his three brothers who were at the war front with King Saul, his elder brother addressed him in a very demeaning way: "Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the desert? " But David was more than a shepherd.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;He was a quick learner! He defeated Goliath who had defied the entire &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; army for 40 days. David went on to learn more skills and tactics and earned a high rank in the army. He became well known and loved by the soldiers and the Israelites (I Sam. 18:6). David also learned quickly how to turn the band of 400 discontented and distressed men into an effective fighting force (I Sam. 22:2). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;He learned all this on the job. David was a self-taught, lifelong learner. Had he lived in our time, he probably would have read many books and attended many seminars, learned from many older mentors, wherever possible. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;So church leaders need to develop a teachable spirit that will make them effective in our increasingly technological world. Church leaders need to be aware of and sensitive to society's fast changes and adapt to methods that will keep the church reaching out to those who are lost. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;On the contrary, a leader is not serving his Country if he closes his mind to learning from others, even those who are younger than he is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2983418633250543901-887411286051095790?l=newkenya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/feeds/887411286051095790/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/2011/03/lessons-from-life-of-david.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2983418633250543901/posts/default/887411286051095790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2983418633250543901/posts/default/887411286051095790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/2011/03/lessons-from-life-of-david.html' title='lessons from the life of David'/><author><name>Arise and Shine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17997514496265571329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983418633250543901.post-204583854960050235</id><published>2011-03-21T08:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-21T08:34:22.069-07:00</updated><title type='text'>General qualities of a leader</title><content type='html'>You must be willing to stand alone.&lt;br /&gt;- You must be willing to go against public opinion&lt;br /&gt;- You must be willing to risk failure.&lt;br /&gt;- You must become master of your emotions.&lt;br /&gt;- You must strive to remain above reproach.&lt;br /&gt;- You must be willing to make decisions others don't want to make.&lt;br /&gt;- You must be willing to say no at times, even when you'd like to say yes.&lt;br /&gt;- You must sometimes be willing to sacrifice personal interests for the good of the group.&lt;br /&gt;- You must never be content with the average; you must always strive for the best.&lt;br /&gt;- People must be more important to you than possessions.&lt;br /&gt;- You will have to work harder to keep your life in balance than people do who are not&lt;br /&gt;leaders.&lt;br /&gt;Paul Borthwick, Leading the Way, Navpress, 1989, pp. 177-178 B.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2983418633250543901-204583854960050235?l=newkenya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/feeds/204583854960050235/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/2011/03/general-qualities-of-leader.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2983418633250543901/posts/default/204583854960050235'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2983418633250543901/posts/default/204583854960050235'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/2011/03/general-qualities-of-leader.html' title='General qualities of a leader'/><author><name>Arise and Shine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17997514496265571329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983418633250543901.post-326462287068631080</id><published>2011-03-21T08:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-21T08:32:22.526-07:00</updated><title type='text'>lessons from life of moses</title><content type='html'>Moses…..Exodus – Deut.&lt;br /&gt;1.

He must be a man with godly commitments. 1:5-6&lt;br /&gt;1. Be faithful to the church. 1:5&lt;br /&gt;2. Be faithful to others. 1:6&lt;br /&gt;3. Be faithful to your wife. 1:6&lt;br /&gt;4. Be faithful to your children. 1:6&lt;br /&gt;II. He must be a man of godly conduct. 1:7&lt;br /&gt;1. Understand the need of a good reputation.&lt;br /&gt;2. Understand the nature of your calling.&lt;br /&gt;3. Understand the necessity of a balanced life.&lt;br /&gt;III. He must be a man of godly character. 1:8&lt;br /&gt;1. Pursue the right priorities.&lt;br /&gt;2. Possess the right perspective.&lt;br /&gt;3. Produce the right pattern.&lt;br /&gt;4. Promote the right passion.&lt;br /&gt;IV. He must be a man with godly convictions. 1:9&lt;br /&gt;1. Be devoted to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;2. Be diligent to teach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I. The overarching requirement of a godly leader - Being above reproach&lt;br /&gt;A. The need of being above reproach: It is a must and an absolute necessity for every leader, Living a life&lt;br /&gt;without blame, one that lives as a follower of Christ, this would seem to be obvious and matter of living as a&lt;br /&gt;Christian&lt;br /&gt;B. The concept of reproach: The Greek term - “not able to be held”, legal term that referred to the ability to hold in&lt;br /&gt;prison, the committing of a crime, literally meaning that nothing against, this does not mean that they have not&lt;br /&gt;sinned but rather that they no longer live by sinful standards, thus they can set the model of proper behavior for&lt;br /&gt;the church, the leader then gives no reason for anyone to attack his reputation,&lt;br /&gt;C. Reasons for being above reproach&lt;br /&gt;1. Leaders are targets of Satan: Satan will assault the leaders because it is the best way to destroy the church,&lt;br /&gt;just as he did in the days of Jesus, Satan will work to create a corrupt leadership, those who are in leadership&lt;br /&gt;positions will bear the brunt of spiritual warfare&lt;br /&gt;2. Leadership that falls will cause greater harm: Leadership that falls devastates the church, it produces great&lt;br /&gt;harm throughout the church,&lt;br /&gt;3. Leadership has a greater knowledge of the Truth: The knowledge of the Truth creates greater accountability&lt;br /&gt;and chastening when they sin&lt;br /&gt;4. Leader’s sin is more hypocritical: The leaders are to have a deep understanding of the Word and teach it, they&lt;br /&gt;then become hypocritical when they commit those sins that they are to be against&lt;br /&gt;II. The moral character of a Godly leader&lt;br /&gt;A. Husband of one wife&lt;br /&gt;1. Key subject of infidelity: The concept Paul presents is being with one person, namely your spouse, this points&lt;br /&gt;to specifically the sexual behavior, the aspect of being sexually pure,&lt;br /&gt;2. Sexual purity: If a person is devoted to their spouse - it is in the heart and the mind, this is a call to full sexual&lt;br /&gt;purity in conduct,&lt;br /&gt;B. Temperate&lt;br /&gt;1. Primary focus on wine: The chief problem of Paul’s day was wine, it was used in a variety of ways and was a&lt;br /&gt;staple in ancient diets, the whole point is that wine and its abuse leads to a loss of the senses, this leads us to&lt;br /&gt;conclude that this prohibition would include all things that cloud the mind&lt;br /&gt;2. Things that effect the mind: If we are unable to keep our mind focused, we will never be able to keep focused&lt;br /&gt;on God,&lt;br /&gt;C. Prudent&lt;br /&gt;1. The ability to order priorities: The leader must be able to order their own mind well, thus they must have a well&lt;br /&gt;disciplined mind, this comes into play in all areas of life, the person who can not order their mind can not&lt;br /&gt;effectively lead the church&lt;br /&gt;2. The ability to keep focused on Christ: The leader must be able to keep focused on Christ, if their mind draws&lt;br /&gt;them away from Christ they will not be able to function properly in the church,&lt;br /&gt;D. Respectable&lt;br /&gt;1. Well ordered life: The leader must be able to not only order their mind but also their life, they must have a well&lt;br /&gt;disciplined life, they must not have a chaotic lifestyle but an orderly one&lt;br /&gt;2. Personal life begins discipline: When the person lacks discipline in their own life, it will carry over into the&lt;br /&gt;church, the person who can not order their own life will not be able to order the church life&lt;br /&gt;E. Hospitable&lt;br /&gt;1. Hospitable is a compound term: Combination of two Greek terms - 1. “To love” &amp;amp; 2. “strangers”, thus to be&lt;br /&gt;hospitable is to have a love for strangers, this is not entertaining friends but being open and loving to strangers,&lt;br /&gt;2. The aspect of travel: In the early church there were many Christians traveling, they were running from&lt;br /&gt;persecution or traveling orphans or widows, hospitality was something of a necessity&lt;br /&gt;F. Teaching&lt;br /&gt;1. The one key function that requires giftedness: Leaders are to be able to reproduce themselves in other&lt;br /&gt;people, the only way to do that is to teach other people, we are called to mentor and raise up leaders from within&lt;br /&gt;our midst, this takes some giftedness in the area of teaching, everyone who is a leader is a teacher of some sort,&lt;br /&gt;some teach in the Sunday School, others teach and instruct by example&lt;br /&gt;2. The criteria of a teacher&lt;br /&gt;a. The leader must have the gift of teaching&lt;br /&gt;b. The leader must have a deep understanding of doctrine&lt;br /&gt;c. The leader must have an attitude of humility&lt;br /&gt;d. The leader must live a life of holiness&lt;br /&gt;e. The leader must be a student of the scripture&lt;br /&gt;f. The leader must avoid error in their teaching&lt;br /&gt;g. The leader must have strong courage and consistent convictions&lt;br /&gt;G. Addicted to wine&lt;br /&gt;1. Personal problem: In the ancient days wine was a staple of the diet, much of the time it was used to purify&lt;br /&gt;water and was mixed, this did often lead to a great deal of drunkenness - when not held in check, the concept&lt;br /&gt;Paul presents here is that leaders were to obstain from wine to not fall into the trap of drunkenness,&lt;br /&gt;2. Personal Reputation: When wine interferes with the persons ability to focus on christ they can not lead the&lt;br /&gt;church, their focus is removed from its right place, the person also jeopardizes their reputation in the community,&lt;br /&gt;they open the door to criticism and strife in the church, also they set a poor example to follow, others may be led&lt;br /&gt;astray by their drinking of wine,&lt;br /&gt;H. Not pugnacious&lt;br /&gt;1. The root term: Word is derived from the Greek word that gives us the English pugilism, the term is negative&lt;br /&gt;here - to not strike, leaders are not to seek to settle their differences through violence,&lt;br /&gt;2. The need to be gentle: Leaders need to be gentle and courteous to others, considerate of others, gracious&lt;br /&gt;with people, no list of wrongs - does not hold grudges&lt;br /&gt;I. Does not love money&lt;br /&gt;1. Money and ministry do not mix: One can love money and also love God, no one can serve two masters,&lt;br /&gt;leaders who focus on what they can get out of life rather than what they can give will come up short in the end,&lt;br /&gt;leaders then need to not become greedy or stingy in their character,&lt;br /&gt;2. Paul’s example: Paul told all of the Ephesians that he envied no ones possessions while in Ephesus, the&lt;br /&gt;riches of God’s blessing will supply what money could never buy, riches in heaven&lt;br /&gt;III. The home life of a leader&lt;br /&gt;A. Manages the household&lt;br /&gt;1. Direct Connection: Leading in the home and leading in the church, both are connected - one cannot be in peril&lt;br /&gt;without effecting the other&lt;br /&gt;2. The aspect of household: All of the family affairs, good steward of the house, finances and all of the people&lt;br /&gt;and resources&lt;br /&gt;B. Management of children&lt;br /&gt;1. The concept of authority: Parents are in charge, too many times parents fail to take charge, they are to raise&lt;br /&gt;their children in such a way that honor comes to the family and to God&lt;br /&gt;2. Keys to producing honorable children&lt;br /&gt;a. Parents exercise authority that makes it advisable to obey&lt;br /&gt;b. Parents have enough wisdom that makes it reasonable to obey&lt;br /&gt;c. Parents must show love that makes it delightful for children to obey&lt;br /&gt;d. Parents must show children the proper understanding of the Word to obey&lt;br /&gt;C. Major point&lt;br /&gt;1. The care of the house: The matters of the personal family pass to God’s family, a leader cannot neglect his&lt;br /&gt;own family and expect to properly care for and lead God’s family, visa versa&lt;br /&gt;2. The common challenges: Leading people to God, teaching holiness and obedience to God, conflict resolution,&lt;br /&gt;building unity and serving one another&lt;br /&gt;IV. The spiritual maturity of a leader&lt;br /&gt;A. New converts: The language used here is also used of a new tree, one does not plant a new tree and not&lt;br /&gt;care for it, the same is true of new converts and the care they need is to be properly discipled, Paul is pointing to&lt;br /&gt;the early church process of discipleship = Conversion - training in the Word - baptism - member, Paul is referring&lt;br /&gt;to someone who has no undergone the faith process&lt;br /&gt;B. Becoming conceited: Paul states this to protect both the church and the converts, leaders who were new&lt;br /&gt;converts could be victims of spiritual pride, one of the key faults of Satan&lt;br /&gt;V. The public reputation of a leader&lt;br /&gt;A. The basis for reputation: The reputation of a leader effects their witness in the community, the Greek term&lt;br /&gt;Maturia is used here, we derive the English martyr, people who are leaders must maintain a Christian presence&lt;br /&gt;in the community, this gives us a positive testimony to the outside world&lt;br /&gt;B. The reason for reputation: Satan is targeting leaders of the church, he knows that the easiest way to destroy a&lt;br /&gt;church is to destroy the leadership, once the leadership is gone there is no one left to guide the flock, Satan&lt;br /&gt;would like nothing better than to discredit leaders of the church&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2983418633250543901-4181539537933590715?l=newkenya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/feeds/4181539537933590715/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/2011/03/godly-men.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2983418633250543901/posts/default/4181539537933590715'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2983418633250543901/posts/default/4181539537933590715'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/2011/03/godly-men.html' title='Godly men'/><author><name>Arise and Shine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17997514496265571329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983418633250543901.post-1591053032783258372</id><published>2011-03-21T08:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-21T08:14:31.701-07:00</updated><title type='text'>MEN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced( Ps 25:3)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where God is You cannot fail, it is impossible in fact He will do much more than He said He will do The world has not seen it a government that acknowledges the lord Of host as their leader , and has chosen the word of God as their guide what they can be able to achieve and the heights they can go. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;1 Corinthians 2:6 6Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a [higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what the above verse means is that the currently world system is going to fail no matter how things they may seem stable, it is still brought to nothing. God want us to have open eyes that see and to put our focus away from the world way of doing things and we depend on Him how blessed it would be men of God in parliament just before a session they worship God in praises , everywhere they go they talk of God's goodness , their talk is different because their mind have been transformed and renewed by the word of God. Can we picture this !!!! We will be a marvel to the world we will do extraordinary things because ideas will be given of us freely by the holy Ghost . We will never be cornered at any given time even when everything else fails the Holy Ghost is our stand by , He is our extraordinary strategist He is the one who told moses Why are you crying to me in other words it was not time to pray a way had already been created, the obstacle of the red sea was unreal it had no foundation. and this what happens to those who have put their trust in God, God says because they love me i will rescue them (Ps 91:14) so when the name Kenya is mentioned by all our enemies God shows up hallelujah , glory to God , we will not have to raise a finger to save ourselves. There is nothing that will be too hard for us because the power of the Holy Ghost is mightily at work in us.

Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on your people. 13 Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, to whom you swore by your own self: ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.’” 14 Then the LORD relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Another good example is a man named Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;John 12:3-9 (New International Version, ©2010)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;3 Then Mary took about a pint[a] of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.[b]” 6 &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;Jesus knew of this man all along yet not a single time we have read that they were divided. The disciples often had disagreement but every time Jesus reminded them of the kingdom we have been called to, Moses too pleaded with God not to destroy Israel though they had done wrong and David though Saul had sought His life he Respected the anointing in Saul’s life, He did not want it to be known, He even fasted the whole day when He received news of Saul’s death, do we react the same or are we the first to say and condemn of what the other men of God has done wrong&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Romans 14:4 (English Standard Version)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;4(A) Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master[a] that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;It should be clear whether people have done wrong or are doing everything wrong that always we should react in love, pleading before God for such people day and night until they stand strong in the lord. It is not for us to accuse we have been called to a higher life in Christ, and being the one accusing is getting cheap with the gospel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;We have been called to move from one level of glory to another yet we may never be able to reach some level of glory as long as the house of God is not complete, as in we have not reached to the lost coin (these are people who are not by their own fault the way they are like a person who have been raised from when they were young being taught that there is no God),. the lost sheep (This is the category many people fall …&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;6All of us, like sheep, have strayed away…) &lt;/span&gt;and the prodigal son (those who have backslide).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;Many people have seen vision of entire church being left behind during rapture yes from the pastor to the rest of the congregation just because they were not ready, yes the refraining&amp;nbsp; force of evil in the world(the church) will be taken when others will be left behind. Does this awaken you to do something about the lost ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;The word of God says Ecclesiastes 7:8&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;The end of a matter is better than its beginning&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;….&lt;/span&gt;and as Christian we should realize this that we are the best generation God has ever had and God has released all the power that we need to stand strong and to complete the work God has given unto us that we got no excuse at all, we can never fail in these Jesus has already spoken concerning a generation that God will raise that is selfless fearing nothing even if it means costing their lives.

Things that took much time to be done now can be done in a short time.eg the British system. People should be able to enjoy working instead of spending most of their adult life studying and looking for jobs and remain active even when they are advanced in years. This is only possible if the average Kenyan starts working at an early age and still remain productive in society even after reaching the retirement age with this in mind our purpose for working is not to earn a living but to be able to give. These is so that&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;people can&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;avoid protesting over payments, and be able to offer their services even if&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;is for free &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;especially when people reach their retirement age. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Joshua 14:7-11 (New Living Translation)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;7 &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;I was forty years old when Moses,&lt;/b&gt; the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to explore the land of Canaan. I returned and gave an honest report, 8 but my brothers who went with me frightened the people from entering the Promised Land. For my part, I wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God. 9 So that day Moses solemnly promised me, ‘The land of Canaan on which you were just walking will be your grant of land and that of your descendants forever, because you wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God.’ 10 “Now, as you can see, the Lord has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these forty-five years since Moses made this promise—even while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Today &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;I am eighty-five years old. 11 I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on that journey, and I can still travel and fight as well as I could then.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;There should be a lot of training and mentorship for the younger workforce in all industries. For example in Israel, the people who work in highly skilled industries teach their children much of what they do so that the children can continue the business especially so that precious skill and knowledge is not lost and with innovative ideas . It also guarantees a career for the young ones at minimal cost because they will be too relevant to be ignored. The mental development of a child’s mind is far ahead of what we think and thus a lot of there potential is untapped, If we could just adjust the education system to reflect this it will be very beneficial.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;There are many people who are successful in various fields in Kenya and such people can take a few people with them as they go to meetings, as they do their businesses and this will inspire the young people who take them as role model, to emulate them. Our aim should be to raise people who are better than us &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;( 2 kings 2:9 And Elisha replied, “Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit), John 3:34 (New Living Translation)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;34 For he is sent by God. He speaks God’s words, for God gives him the Spirit without limit. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;As the scripture above shows God does things in an ever increasing measure so we too we should work to be like Him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;2 Tim 3: 10But you, Timothy, certainly know what I teach, and how I live, and what my purpose in life is. You know my faith, my patience, my love, and my endurance....... 14 But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;these scripture shows that timothy must have been closely involved with Paul to learn all these, Paul was a spiritual father to timothy ( a role model)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Many places and people are disqualified for lack of experience so we plan to incorporate a system where people can get enough experience by the time they finish school. For example in accounting field especially during end of accounting period many accounting/auditing firms are required to make the annual report so they work hard to ensure they meet the deadline but the workers are over stretched during this time, and if interns are taken they can ease the work load on individuals and at the same time gain experience. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;There will be Introduction of teaching of the word of God in schools. A very important factor which we have noticed in most learning institutions is the conflict between Bible truth and so called science. For example, in biology class most students are taught that the world came about because of a ‘big bang’, contrary to the word of god which says Gen 1;1 ‘in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Even though the big bang is just a theory, many assume it is the truth especially by concentrating on it. We now have more scientific prove of God’s word than before. And also when people learn the word of God and they meditate upon this word they become super intelligent understanding things better in class, in life so that every area of their life is a success (&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Joshua 1:8 (Amplified Bible)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;8This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good [a]success.)-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt; the success here means in education and all other areas of life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;International Standard Version (©2008)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;2 peter 1:10 So then, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election certain, for if you keep on doing this you will never fail.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;So if people are taught the word of God in school that will be the end of failures in the country &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Psalm 119:103&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Psalm 119:105&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;נ Nun Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Psalm 119:130&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Proverbs 4:4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;Then he taught me, and he said to me, “Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;And finally to the young people &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;1 Tim 4:12 Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 13 Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them. 14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received through the prophecy spoken over you when the elders of the church laid their hands on you. 15 Give your complete attention to these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress. 16 Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching.

It should not surprise us that in today’s world of relativism, humanism, secularism, and even spiritualism, in which man is placed at the center of the universe, most people do not truly want equal justice for all; they want justice for themselves or their cause, whatever it might be. Consequently, people see things differently, even when faced with the same set of facts. Simply, they see it through their prism, based on a variety of factors such as one’s culture, religion, race, sex, world view or life experiences, to name a few. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;When people are protesting or having demonstrations they never cry out for righteousness. In fact, in our modern day of enlightenment, the word righteousness is almost never used, except perhaps by some Christians. In our everyday language, especially what comes through the news media, righteousness is a forgotten word, and yet, righteousness is the only way to true and equal justice. We could say that righteousness is what defines justice.

His kingdom is over all, He is the God of the whole earth, He alone is God of all the kingdoms of the earth. He removes kings and sets up kings, for as the Most High He rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomsoever He wills. He sets up over them even the lowest of men. It is He who gives even to ungodly men the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the glory. He overthrows the throne and strength of kingdoms (Deut. 4:35, 39; II Kings 5:15; 19:15; Isa. 37:16; Dan. 4:17, 25; 5:18, 21; Hag. 2:22 Isa. 54:5).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;He also exercises government over all in accordance with His perfections and in accordance with the rights that are His because of His ownership of all and the right of dominion over all. This sovereignty He exercises with omnipotent and irresistible efficiency. The mighty hand of God is the executor of His will. He is the great, the mighty, and the terrible. There is none that can deliver out of His hand for He frustrates the devices of the crafty and the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong. He breaks down and it cannot be built up again. There is no wisdom, nor understanding, nor counsel against Him. None can stay His hand, nor say unto Him, what doest Thou? (Deut. 10:17; 33:26; Job 5:12, 13; 12:14; Prov. 21:30; Dan. 4:35; Isa. 31:3).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;It is God who provides for all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"&gt;It is God who gives rain upon the earth, and sends water upon the fields.

Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;8 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages[b] and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10 But when full understanding comes, these partial things will become useless.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.[c] All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;So we must choose to be different and stay at the high level of love &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;We must talk differently and think differently an example is David he couldn’t destroy King Saul though he had many opportunities &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;We must see with the eyes of Jesus which are full of compassion and purity thus seeing God in all the people and seeing everyone as He see’s them&lt;strong&gt;..(Pastor Chris -Dimensions of Love)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2983418633250543901-1765475375047787340?l=newkenya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/feeds/1765475375047787340/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/2010/11/our-vision.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2983418633250543901/posts/default/1765475375047787340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2983418633250543901/posts/default/1765475375047787340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newkenya.blogspot.com/2010/11/our-vision.html' title='OUR VISION-TO SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST'/><author><name>Arise and Shine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17997514496265571329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983418633250543901.post-1236112294211957148</id><published>2010-11-12T03:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-12T03:09:38.288-08:00</updated><title type='text'>OUR MISSION</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="style3" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;We exist to help people understand the importance of the word of God.
