Me and Christ

Through God's will I was posted to Chemelil Sugar Academy in 2007. Honestly I never wanted to go there, but He did; I believe so since He allowed it. I thought four years was enough but I was wrong, He took me back there for a hotelier job, once again I was wrong to think that was it all, so He got me another job in Chemelil Sugar Company as an IT apprentice. And that made it a total of six years. you must be asking what's my point ha? here......... Far from being a bookworm an d having an interest in academics, I have come to know my life purpose, to see why my will must never (let alone try to) over-ride God's will. Chemelil has been the place for me to crown the last quarter of what I call the formative years of my life. Here I have had to learn to recognize others, to kill pride, to reach out and most importantly, live for Christ. Even while at High school, I think the one thing that makes me smile is how God used me. As I type this, its one month before ...

I have a job, am working, but its on contract renewable every year, my buddies and family wish that I renew it this year, especially for the money and the experience, but am thinking otherwise. I'm not any different, I mean we all need money and more experience to boost our resume, but that's not exactly what appeals to me, at least not at the moment. See I have a brother, a candidate anticipating National Examinations which allows transition from Primary to Secondary Level Education. The tests are due in October, while my contract ends in June, so am thinking of being there for him, help him study, the revision and all that appertains to exam preparation. I did my part, I passed through what he now goes through..the tension, the anxiety, the shivers, the high hopes, the 'I don't know how it's gonna be' and I went through it all by myself, nobody seemed to understand, all they did, especially dad was say ''I need the best from you, boy!'' from ...

Jesus said, “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.” John 10:17. That is, “My Father has so loved you that He even loses Me more for giving My life to redeem you. In becoming your Substitute and Surety, by surrendering My life, by taking your liabilities, your transgressions, I am endeared to My Father; for by My Sacrifice, God can be just, and yet the Justifier of Him who believeth in Jesus.” None but the Son of God could accomplish our redemption; for only He was the bosom of the Father could declare Him. Only He who knew the height and depth of the love of God could make it manifest. Nothing less than the infinite sacrifice made by Christ in behalf of fallen man could express the Father’s love to lost humanity. “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” He gave Him not only to live among men, to bear their sins and die their sacrifice, He gave Him to a fallen race. Christ was to identify Himself with the interests and n...

The book of Genesis tells us the story of God creating the world. As God created various aspects of our world he declared them “good.” Then after creating human beings he said that this was “very good.” Then suddenly there is turn in the narrative. The writer tells us that God then said, “It is not good that man be alone.” Adam was not lonely – he had God and the animals – but he was alone, a solitary human being. So God made Eve as a friend and partner for him. This story is not just about marriage but about our need for community – for relationships. None of us are designed to do life alone or in isolation. We need companionship as we journey through life. Most of us know that this to be true YET there a numbers of things that can become barriers to this becoming a reality. Maybe its an unhealthy individualism, or a workaholic tendency, or a more introverted personality, or possibly a bad past experience. What’s holding you back? Take a step, reach out and connect with someone to...

Just listen to this good news from Psalm 46. Psalm 46:9-11 9 He causes wars to end throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and snaps the spear; he burns the shields with fire. 10 "Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world." 11 The Lord of Heaven's Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress.

“You have brought us into this wilderness to starve us all to death.” Ex.16:3 What are some needs you expect God to meet?

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. (Romans 10:9-10) What is the significance of the word "confess" in this verse? What are some things, besides this, that you would say you believe in your heart? What makes you able to say that?
