Kenya

Profile Information:

Gender: Male
Country (not County): Kenya
Occupation:: Evangelist, motivational speaker and HR & Legal Co-ordinator
I'm here to...: Link-up and fellowship with all those who worship God in truth and in spirit...to laugh with those who are laughing and to cry with those who are crying and to not only share their pain, but try to lessen it for them in Christ Jesus!
Interests:: I like everything in life knowing that all that happens is God's will for me and that He will always act for my utmost good according to His divine plan. Many things puzzle me...yes...but nothing takes my happiness out of my hands for I know that Jehovah God is in control. Nothing can ever take the truth He has laid out in Romans8:28 from my heart; ALL THINGS WORK OUT FOR MY GOOD. How so wonderful!!!
I'm passionate about...: Making millions of disciples and winning souls for God! I glory in selflessness for He was selfless...He lived for others and though the owner and originator of all, He chose to live a poor man's life. In the same footsteps, I attach very little importance to material things (which are at best only momentary) and have taught my family to aspire for the secret joy derived from giving. We therefore own so little except the very basic!
My story with God: He is the starter and finisher of my faith through His glorious and wonderful Son Jesus Christ. After spending considerable time chasing the vanities of this world, I have come to accept the fact that there is no thrill like knowing and living for Christ. I was once a Catholic of Catholics...and if there is any one thing I know know for sure, it is that CATHOLISM (AND "RELIGIOSITY AS A WHOLE)" IS THE ONE MOST DANGEROUS weapons satan is using to divide the sheep and lead masses to their eternal damnation. I let anyone who would care to listen know this...those people don't worship Jehovah God the way He has decreed to be worshipped! Let all who have ears listen to what the spirit of the Lord is saying!
Other stuff about me:: I am what one may comfortably label "everyone's servant" and a man for all seasons. I go out of my way to comfort all...more so ladies, who life has treated cruelly, more often than not....in the hands of unconverted men. I cry daily when I see the attrocities meted out on innocent children...even by those closest to them. I am mad about children...I just love kids and spend most of my time with them. I strive daily to be a pillar in prayer...and although I fail repeatedly, I know that Christ looks down on me from His high seat and count all my pitiable struggles for righteousness. I cherish prayers for therein lies my (and yours too) only victory over life's challenges! I adorn daily God's Spiritual armour before I step out as outlined in Ephesians 6:11. It is His WAR...we can only win it through HIS ARMOUR...not our pitiable efforts. He won it already for us, hallelujah!!! Worshiping the Lord in truth and spirit is fun...and truly enjoyable!!! I invite all to give Christ their all. You will never regret the effort.

Pastor,
Not a problem, thank you for answering me, I actually thought you were upset with me, I know exactly what God wants he confirmed it to me againt last night, the only thing is I dont know how and when, so I am waiting on God for an answer. I trust you, and therefore I know that in God's time he makes all things right and it will be revealed to you. Trust in him.

One thing I want to mention though is that do you know that many do not beleive that the Rapture is going or can happen even beleivers.

I am so glad my sister joined, she has not given her life to the Lord and will soon. God is so good to me I have been praying for a long time for her and he has answered my prayer. Tomorrow she has an appointment with a Pastor who is going to pray with her. I know then she will give her life to God, because things will be a bit more clearer for her, she went with me to Church on Sunday evening and really enjoyed herself, Praise God. As for the rest of my family they are also in God's hands and I beleive they will soon follow her, anything is possible for God, if we only beleive, and I do with all my heart.

You must have a blessed day further
Thank you, you have brought great insight to my life since I joined this site. God Bless

Hi

Thank you for clearing that up about being upset, shew....

Thank you for standing with me about my twin, she means allot to me and has not had a very easy life.

I must admit I am not surprised, I was once that Christian that did not beleive it at all, I thought it is fiction, until God brought somebody into my life and she said in a gentle voice over a discussion about the end times, God is coming soon, when she said that, it felt as if my eyes had opened to the truth, I had this feeling of urgency in my heart, I needed to know more, God has since shown me and reveled to me these things to come, it stands clearly in his word and also to prove the rapture is real if we read in Kings, Elijah was raptures and that took place in front of other prophets. His word is real.

Thank you, what you say is right a Christian that does not beleive the rapture is without Hope.

I think it will an awesome moment in time when that happens for God's children.

Thank you for your support.

Pastor,
I thought that when you said you were afraid and want to pray first, I thought I said something wrong and then I did not hear from you, I really thougt I said something wrong, I then searched my heart but did not understand because I could not find anything, but its okay, I think we can be a bit sensative sometimes. That is how we learn to get to know each other and grow within ourselves.
The best thing is God loves us and we love each other.
Thank you, you make me smile. You really have become a mentor for me. I would love to learn more from you, that is why I love speaking with you.

I was encouraged to know you are praying for us. Momma is pretty much out of it most of the time. i hope to be able to talk to her a little bit tomorrow. Seeing her suffer is incredibly difficult. I would rather see her out of it than being in so much pain. Again, thank you for caring.

My dearest Bernhard.
Now I understand why Jesus sent you to me. You're really such a blessing from heaven for me bro. Do you remember how "Ismael" was born? He came in this world out of unpatientness of Abraham and Sarah to wait for God's fulfillment. Hagar was an Egyptian. Ismael got a mixed blood of Israel and Egyptian. Through him satan has a way of keep destroying the believers. Satan imitates everything about Jesus to lead us to hell. Islam imitates Christianity. You have to win your friend soul for Jesus dear. We christians do not seek religion but Jesus Christ. Religion can not save us but Jesus can, because He is the rightfulmess Himself and the only One Who has saving power! Your friend needs you dear, help him to receive Jesus. Prayer is "more powerful" than sayings. No quarrel but much prayers can save him for Christ. Islamic teachings have many inconsistencies. There's satan behind all that. What is his/her name? Juma? I'll pray for your frend. We're hand in hand in prayers for him. We'll win him for Christ. Jesus Christ is more bigger than everything, anyone, Mohammed. My church is Tiberi"a"s Church, and we've curch branches about 50 in Indonesia, Australia, America etc. My senior pastor builds churches in malls, in big buildings, counties etc. Yes, I always pray for Tiberias Church as a whole, you're right about that dear. Keep in touch and hand in hand with me always, will you? My love for all of you in Kenya. Jesus bless me through you too dearest. JBU. Luv in Christ Jesus: Your Christy Gabriel - Indonesia.

Hi my brother Bernhard.
Always a big smile on my face whenever I read your comment. Such a nice bro you are. I'll pray for Juma. "We hold hands together in prayers to win Juma for Christ, OK?" Is it ok to say something to you which as a Pastor you know more than me? Yes, you are right, nothing can withstand prayer. Your reply to Juma is very good. Christ will have him for sure. We have to love our enemies, Jesus said that and we'll do it, won't we. Who is not with Christ means against Him. I forgot the verse about it... ha... ha... ha.. Luv you brother. Text you soon.

Hi dear brother

Hope you had a wonderful and blessed weekend. I want to bless you for this week; the Lord will do great and marvelous things for you, He is your strength. Trust on the Lord and He will lead you.

Pray hardests when it is hardest to pray.

Matthew 21:22 "And all things, whatever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive."
Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

Hi Brateng,
It went very well, she gave her life to Jesus and the Lord has taken out of bondage, she stoped smoking, and I beleive she will serve the Lord with all her heart.

I heard on our Christian radio this morning 60 000 men gathered in Durban this weekend to serve the Lord, I heard it was all over the news papers that 60 000 men in tears for God. God is really moving in our Country.

HI Brateng

Awesome to meet you, will be honoured to have you as a friend. God was moving the mountain here this weekend with close to 60,000 men attending the Mighty Mens Conference at Shalom, the farm of Angus Buchan, Author of Faith like Potatoes. I chatted to my home group leader earlier, he was there, he said it was a mind blowing experience, I believe that revival has started in our Land! God will heal our Country!

Im glad to hear that you have a heart for comforting ladies who's life had been treated cruelly by unconverted men, story of my life!! I was dating a man who was saved but who walked away from God because his son was tragically killed almost 2 years ago. My heart went out to him and I believed that God had placed me in his life to help him and heal him and show him God's love, he however dragged me down and controlled me, he was always drunk and spoke to me very badly at times. I ended it with him 2 weeks ago as it was too much to handle, my nerves were shot. Please keep me in your prayers as I am battling to deal with this break up, I know it's right and God would not want me in a relationship with a man like him but I miss him and am concerned for him.

Would love to meer your friend/Mom Nienie.

Take Care & God bless you, have an awesome week.

Goodmorning PAstor,
I am great The Joy of the Lord is my Strength.

How is your family.

I take today and I marvel at its beauty, who can say there is no God, I feel him I hear him I talk to him every minute of the day.
I am praying for my husband he is not a full on Christian, yes he gave his life to the Lord, but does not feel the need to go to Church or read his bible, I prayed last night that God stir his heart, I know he will, I sence it, I received a message from David one of my freinds from the Net this morning, Let him have all your worries and cares for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you 1st Peter 5:7, and it was just meant for me this morning, Satan tries to rob me I looked at my husband last night and asked God where are you in these situations are you listening to me, and this morning I get this message from a brother from the Net. All I can say is that God does answer prayers. To God be the Glory.

Dear Pastor. I do believe that He will coming back soon while as I live in Europe I saw a lot of signs of the end of the world. But I have no fear while I believe that God is always be with me and guide me. Countless guidance I have recieved, and I live my life day by day with Him. As a wife I protect my family with prayers, and pouring the annointing oil so my family here save and protected. Everyday in my life I've tried and will keep on trying to prepare myself and my family to welcome Jesus' return.
Thank you for the warning. May God bless and keep us all in His mightiness and gloriness.

You inspire me with your kind words & encouragement, thanks you & bless you.
I must say that Nienie seems to be a wonderful person, Im very glad to have her as a friend, as I am you.

I have awesome news, my unsaved brother, Greg called me yesterday to say that he attended the Mighty Mens Conference. He was unaware that it was a Christian Conference until 2 days before going and then he said that he decided that he'd go as he'd committed to go with a group of men, his words to me "It's changed my life" He says he has never experienced anything like it and that he now has some soul searching to do. God is SO good! Praise him. I have been praying for my brother for a long time, as you say, in His time.

Have an awesome day.

Goodmorning my Brother,
How are you today, I have not been speaking to you much, busy at work and my daughter is very ill at home for the last week so it has been a bit hectic here. Is everything well. I had this vision early this morning, myself and other were driving, but as we looked around it was this valley green absolutely beautiful, but we were high up almost on a cliff, we reached this gate, as we passed through we saw lots of people standing on hill tops, beautiful, I asked the Lord what is this, he said these are my children getting ready for my coming, Praise from the mountain tops, scream from the roof tops the King is coming, so I am in awe with the Lord, we need to scream from our roof tops the King is coming, can I suggest that we start a discussion page on the Net "THE KING IS COMING" I sence the Lord is using you and me to start this somehow there is a connection and I am not quiet sure what.
Please let me know what you think

Pastor,
Thank you for your prayes,

Thank you for confirming you wife's vision, in my vision I also saw lots of colors, people with lots of colors, Praise the Lord.

I am writing to you now and feel the Holy Spirit upon me, his love surrounds me. Lord thank you for using me, you are God, you are King, my Saviour, Prasie be to you Lord. Jesus said he comes to set the captives free, get ready, get ready, his Spirit is moving all over the world, get ready. In the last days you will see my Spirit moving, there will be a mighty revelation of people being saved.

God said I AM, he said I AM the God who saves, I AM Gentle and Kind, and I Love my people.

I just felt the Spirit guiding when I was writing to you.

I agree we need to ask our Father first, about this discussion, in actual fact I dont think it should be a discussion, it should be a way of informing them, God will direct us.

Pastor thank you for your kind words, although I accept no credit for any of these thing, God is my Director his is the Glory and Power and Honour. I just say thank you and am humbled that he can use me, it is an honor for me to be used by our Creator.

All honor be to Jesus the Lamb of God.

I believe that all Nienie's words of praise for you are indeed true, you have an incredible way with people, I feel your warmth and care in the way you write your messages. You clearly have succeeded to be "Christ like" as we are told to do in the Bible. I pray that I too can be like that one day.

Bless you, have a wonderful day walking with our awesome Saviour.

Goodmorning Pastor,
How are you today, Cheneze my daughter is much better thank you, still at home resting, but she aet last night and had no more headaches, Praise the Lord, thank you for your prayers.

I must tell you my Son asked me on Monday night mom how do we know the Bible is true and has not been written by people. I imediately asked God, Lord what do I say that will make him understand in his own words, God said I must ask him out of every book that you have read and heard of, is there any other book that actually comes alive, that speaks to you. I said if the people who wrote these books, do you hear them seek Glory and Honor, no they give Glory and Honor. I said this to my Son and he just looked at me, I could see he understood and was almost as if he suddenly grasped what the Bible is all about, He just said thanks.

Pixie is such a wonderful person, full of compassion and Love, it is an honor for me to speak with her, what an amaizing person she is. God really knows how to create his people perfect in all ways, even if we dont seem perfect to ourselves and others, we are perfect in his eyes.

I was reading the living word last night and God put this on my heart, Revelations 14 verse 14.

God bless you today, Thank you for everything Pastor. Its not often enough I say thank you, so today I want to thank you with all my heart for everything.
Love

I have prayed, no request is unusual, God wants to be involved in everything in our lives.

I think you should show the devil he did not win, give Glory to God for all he has and will do, Tell Satan, this is the time I will spend with my God, to give him all the glory and honor. You may not be able to spend time with your freinds but you can spend time with God.
