Stay Active

The English have a saying that "An idle mind is the devil's workshop". I don't know how they came to that conclusion, but I also believe an idle spiritual life is an unstable life. I believe it's hard to keep running low spiritually if we can keep our inner man active. We have many senses and at least one of these senses can always help us to keep in spiritual activity during what would have become "idle time". Keep yourself in an active state regarding spiritual matters; if you're not reading the Word, you can be sharing the Word of God with someone. If you're not preaching, you can pray; or you can watch or listen to a good sermon. If you're not using your mouth, ears or eyes, you can meditate upon the scripture that caught your attention today. Choose to stay active... (More in the next article with the same title. Click Here to read the previous article, "Be A Witness").

Intervarsity Ministry Hand-over Party

Sunday, 19th April 2010 was a day of rejoicing in the Lord for the far that He has brought us and the further He's taking us. We had a "power moment" amidst the party mood and many were revived and encouraged.; it was a powerful moment of worship and prayer. The joy of the Lord was all over the place. The whole event was so successful and the new committee took on the responsibility of leading the Intervarsity Ministry forward. It was such a beautiful afternoon and evening. Soon you'll be getting the photos on my flickr page. You can also click here for a copy of my speech for that day.

We can’t pay Him back because we don’t have anything expensive enough to match the price he paid. Nevertheless, we can do something about it; we can choose to be witnesses.

God's Uninterruptible Schedule

I was excited about something during my morning study today! I realized that as long as you are rightly moving in the will of God, nothing in the world can change God's schedule for your life. Whatever seems to be an obstacle is either a stepping stone for you or an irrelevant occurrence. Jesus' life was pre-determined before he was born and no matter what happened everything moved according to God's schedule. The killing of countless babies did not hinder his growth; the beheading of John the baptist did not change his time of starting ministry; the death on the cross only brought his mission to accomplishment; and finally his resurrection happened at the exact planned time despite the presence of the heavy stone and guards on the tomb! The stone had to roll away and the guards had to become like dead men [Matthew 28:1-6]. I'm glad to know that I can't be hindered.

Pastor Jackson's Message on Easter Sunday

Pastor Jackson Senyonga shared an Easter message entitled "What If, What When, What Now". Here is my brief recap of the message:
What if? What if Jesus had not died on the cross or died but didn't resurrect? 
We would still be in the old testament if He hadn't died because the will of the person who made it doesn't come into effect till He dies [Hebrews 9:16-17]. Our faith would be full of misery and sorrow because we would only meditate on His death. If He did all the miracles and died and failed to resurrect, He would be another good great man who once lived and died. But all this can't be because He died and resurrected.
What When? What happened when He died? 
The earth shook, the veil in the temple was torn into two and God made His glory and His presence available to all people at all times. When He died all the promises in the new will/testament came into effect. Jesus turned death into opportunity; it was once man's greatest fear but he now made it the gateway to eternal life.
What Now? Now that we know He died and resurrected, so what?
He now lives to watch over the will He left unto His own. We now have a reason to celebrate. We now have a new life and the day we die is the day we start living eternally.

Henry's Weekly - When It's All About Him

Hey, If you haven't read this week's article, you need to read it. When it's All about Him you can't question it because your whole being testifies to that truth. Motives are the foundation of what we do and we live. Click here to read it.

The New Foundation

Jesus said "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”[John 2:19]. When He talked of rebuilding the temple in 3 days, He signified His resurrection on the third day. Our redemption began at the crucifixion but our salvation was complete at the resurrection. He allowed them to kill Him so that He could rebuild His Body - the body of Christ on a new foundation; Him being the chief cornerstone! "He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities." [Isaiah 53:11]

The Unequaled Power of the Cross

It started at Calvary but the impact is worldwide and still progressing. The saving power of Jesus' death and resurrection still works in the lives of multitudes of people around the world everyday. Isaiah writes "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand" (Is 53:10).  And Paul adds; For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God (1Corinthians 1:18).
