Do Not Judge(Matthew 7:1-3)

"Judge not, that you be not judged.( Matt 7:1), we are encouraged to refrain from judging one another. Not to pick on people or jump on their failures or criticise their faults, otherwise we will get the same treatment."For with what judgment you judge you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you"(Matt 7:2).".... why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye but do not consider the plank in your own eye?(Matt 7:3)

The bible tells us that Jesus does not forbid criticism, opinions or the condemnation of wrongdoing. What He forbids is the spirit of faultfinding that overlooks one's own shortcomings.

In Luke 6:37b it says "Forgive, and you will be forgiven." It tell us to be easy on people and we will find life a lot easier.

Brethren, we are commanded by Our Creator to treat everyone with care and love the same way we want to be treated(Matthew 7:12)

Please read Ephesians 4:26-31 and take these verses to heart.

When you hear gossip or any evil speaking pray for the victim. As Christians that is what we have to train ourselves to do.Even while others continue to break down people with their words, use your prayers to build them back up again.

God bless you

When You Are Blessed Do Not Forget God

Nehemiah 9:v35
Please read the above scripture, ask God for more understanding and meditate on it, above all be the doer of it in a way that you will not allow God's blessings to make you forget Him.
This scripture made me to understand that every thing that God has blessed me with, I have to use them to serve Him and glorifying His name.I have to bless His name for large and rich land of the United Kingdom that He set before me and to give Him thanks for the good things He has given me.If we don't do that it means we have not turn from our wicked ways.

Let us look at the following questions:
When God bless you with a car how do you use it in His service?Do you see and help anyone who is in need of a lift to church when you go to church? or is it the time to start shuttling to and from our own businesses?
When God bless you with the fruit of the womb, will you use your child as an excuse for not coming to His presence? or an excuse of being late to church?
You cried for a wife or a husband for almost ten years and God heard your cry, are you going to say to God that you missed the bible study, Sunday service or leader's meetng because of either you were cooking for your husband? or it was a valentine day you had to take your wife out?It is not wrong taking your wife out but was God your first priority on that time?certainly not! that is why you missed out the things of God.
God has given you the job at the place were you are working right now, it is for a reason, one of it is to appreciate God by testifying to those who you are working with about Christ and how God blessed you with that job. Do you tell others about God's goodness?
You have your own house, it is God's blessing. Have you considered of using it to fellowship with your brethren even once?
God has blessed you with good health, are you in the front line doing the work in His house? or are you among them who says, "I am not a leader" and so they don't see the point of doing anything for God in the church.
As Christians, we should not remain silence, there's a lot to talk about Christ. If you have never talk about Christ to anyone you can talk to someone from today.If you don't know what to say just tell them how wonderful Jesus Christ is and the great things He has done in your life or your family.Remember this is the way to overcome the devil.
Please let us start appreciating God for His blessings upon us by putting Him first in everything we do in life(Matthew 6:33).

Surely God will bless us more if we learn to appreciate Him!

Stay Blessed

Seek God even at theTime of Finacial Crunch, He satisfy us

Psalm 37:19 it says
"They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied"

Are you expecting increase and abundance this year 2009?

Notice this verse tells us that the righteous, those who follow God's commands, will be satisfied even in times of famine. Even when it looks like there is no resources, God has a plan to provide for His people.

The scripture also tells us that God is looking for

People who will be faithful to Him,

People who will trust Him,

People who will believe that He is the God of more than enough!

God always shows Himself strong on behalf of the people who seek Him first, even during the most difficult times like this year 2009.

No matter what we may be facing today, God wants

To show Himself strong for you,

To make a way where there seems to be no way, and

To satisfy us and bless us abundantly so that we can reach out and be a blessing to the people around us.

Let us take a step of faith today and begin to declare His promises over our lives, that He is the One who satisfies us all the days of our lives.

God bless you

Keep Waiting for God - Isaiah 40:31

So many times we read the scripture from the book of Isaiah 40: v31 (Please read it if you don't know what it says) and many times I hear Christians saying it but they don't follow it. In this verse God says He will do four things but only for those who will wait on Him. This is what He said,
1)He shall renew their strength
2)They shall mount up with wings like eagles
3)They shall run and not be weary
4)They shall walk and not faint
In other words it means that God acts on behalf of those who wait for Him. Praise God!
I remembered a story told by a minister of God of a person who waited on God.
"Lord I want to learn to wait upon you."So every night from about 12 onwards right up to one, he consecrated one hour just to wait on God. He would enter his prayer closet and kneel before Him saying, "Lord I am waiting for you."Many months passed and after many months one day he came to God and he said, "Lord this is the last night that I am waiting on you." And towards the end of his waiting he felt the presence of the Lord standing behind him. He did not dare to look around. He wondered what to say, and what to do. Before he could say anything he felt the Lord putting His hand on his shoulder. And he felt that the hand was wet.He said, "Lord why is your hand wet?
"The Lord said,"I am weeping because many of my people did not wait for Me. They always rush ahead of Me. They always do things by themselves. And my people did not wait for Me."
When he heard that he started crying and he started weeping. And that experience changed his whole life.

My brethren, are you waiting for God to perform His word in your life?
Don't worry! may be we have learned the same thing from this message:
That, it doesn't matter how long we have waited or how long we will wait for Him but the important thing is to keep waiting for Him. Because He is the one who gives life, the grace and He is in control of everything.
As christian believers we must wait for Him, It will be sad to hear that God is weeping because we have failed to wait on Him.

Please ask God for the grace to wait for Him in Jesus name.

God bless you

On My Birthday, Feb 2009

It is amazing the words of encouragement that i have received for my birthday so far.

My mother called me at 5 am from Tanzania wishing me a happy birthday, (mind TZ is three hours ahead of UK time during winter) so it was 8am in TZ. God bless my dear mother! She made me lough, she said to me Have you started celebrating your additional year? and I said to her that I woke up earlier and i gave glory to God and I went back to sleep. She was so surprised, and she said to me,"do you mean you are sleeping at this time?, (she was looking at her watch- TZ time) have you forgotten that it is your birthday? wake up and go and have your shower my daughter". I said to her "Mama it is 5 o'clock here, early morning" and she said, oh i am sorry and so she prayed for me saying, God's purpose for my life must come to pass this year in the name of Jesus and she called me again later when we could talk more.
Anyway, that was my darling mother, she never sees us as adults, she always think of us as babies, she still want to do the things she used to do for us when we were young under her roof. She is so nice. I guess this applies to all mothers. God bless them!
Thank you & I love you Mama!

I also got a very encouraging message from my pastor. This was very funny!This is what he said, "The chicken I planned to send you for your birthday escaped and was found in a nearby church saying: "I shall not die but live to witness the goodness of God in Mary's life". And so he finished his message by telling me that I will surely live to behold the glory of God and this year will be my best year ever in Jesus name.
That was good to hear that the chicken escaped because of wanting to be a witness of all that God is going to do in my life this year.-Amen
Thank you pastor, you are blessed!

The following email message was from my Uncle. In fact I give thanks to God for my uncle's life. God sustained him from a very bad car accident 2 years ago. He broke his hip and after so many operations he is alive and getting stronger each day. Praise God! It teaches us not to give up, if God Himself rescued you from death that means you have not finished His assignment and He want you to finish it first.
This was my uncle's message:

Dear Mary,
I am so poor in remembering these important days for relatives and friends. Hopefully, I will be pardoned due to my age, praise the Lord! All in all I wish you a very blessed new Year. As per your blog, God has blessed you so much and will continue to do so according to His promises.Those who wait on the Lord shall not lack.
Be blessed and Happy Birthday.
Your's Uncle Davis
Thank you uncle, God bless you!
The day has not ended yet, so many prophesies and prayers over the phone.
I will stop here for now because i have to get ready, my sister in the Lord is comming to pick me up for a cup of tea wih her family.
All the glory be to God our Father
Remain blessed!

“Glory Be to God….” (Luke 2:14) It is My Birthday!!

We are still in winter season and it is the third day today with thick snow all around UK, many people have not been able to go to their work places due to poor weather and the cancellation of train, flights and the public buses. But the bible in the book of I Thessalonians 5:18 the word of God reminds us, "in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for us" So we should give thanks to God for the weather. Praise God!
It is my birthday, Praise God! I am here to give glory and honor to my God who planned my future long ago, before my life began and He has been watching over me from the time I was in my mother’s womb till this day, only for His purpose.
It is a year that the Lord has given me as a gift, a year of living in the light of the Lord, a year of divine solution and total transformation, a time of changing, a time of growing, a time of learning to use His sword. Praise God!As the days goes on, I am getting more matured in Christ, telling those I meet about the wonders of what my God can do and about His word and also touching their hearts through my testimonies.
My brethren, I can tell you that miracles have happened in my life, and today is a new beginning to me as I celebrate this day. Jesus Christ changed me right from the time I received Him. His grace is sufficient, and now I know that there is no turning back.
In this special day, I would like to remind you to taste and see how good our God is, He is awesome. He has been my refuge during my tough times. His provision is always enough for me. If you can only trust fully in Him, your future will be bright.
I Praise God for my life and I will ask you brethren to join me in this prayer, to live a life which will be pleasing to Him, seeking His guidance and to live in His will for the rest of my life, in Jesus name – Amen.
Happy birthday to all who are celebrating their birthday today, may the Lord grant you more wisdom, knowledge and understanding in Jesus name.

God bless you
