Mark your territory.

By Lewis K. Kinyae

When i was young, my Grand mother gave me stories of how they used to keep lions away at night. After daily activities, the night would arrive and may be when in other parts of the country people were comfortably asleep, in this eastern side of Kenya it would mean the beginning of another task, keeping the…

¹ If I speak in the tongues^[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a…

I feel detatched from my body. All I can pretty much do is cry right now.

I wish I could see Jesus. To feel His healing touch. Life is just so overwhelming.

Oh,if I could only see Him right now!

He keeps our tears in jars I've read before.

If only I could look up and see His gentle face and to be told "Everything will be alright my child".

If only I could put my head on His shoulder and cry.

Why should I keep re-reading the Bible? I’ve read it all now, so why look at it again?

Matthew 18:3 KJV

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Moral: the Spirit of God is humble and gentle, therefore, anyone that seeks kingly matters must seek to be so by yielding to the Spirit.…

This past weekend, I drew encouragement from a message shared among believers. I took note of a comparison to Jeremiah's struggle and witness. It made any personal difficulty seem very small in comparison. 



Jeremiah 12:5 (NKJV)

" If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, Then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, In which you trusted, they…

I'm a disgrace...I cause so many to get hurt,even my brothers and sisters in Christ.

The thing is I don't even mean to,but it still happens. I've been hurting people just by being there ever since I was a child.

It'd be better off if whenever I do get to Heaven if I'm put away out of peoples' sight. Just doing something simple like scrubbing Jesus' streets of gold. That way people won't have to put up with me.

I'm not allowed to feel pain. And…

I chose not to be judged by how many battles I have lost, but what I have learnt from my past failures in order to make my vision a reality.

"Rest" not only means to be free from activity, but it also speaks of having a peace of mind or spirit. We know how to cease activity, although we do not always practice free from our labor as often as we should. But how do we attain peace of mind or spirit? What exactly is peace, and where do we find it?

          "Peace" has been defined as “a state of tranquility or quiet . . . freedom from…

The title of my article comes from a well-known and oft quoted verse, Roman 8:28. I'm sure many have the verse memorized, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." The next verse is seldom quoted and many would not find it familiar, "For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the first born among many…

I'm a burden. Why do I exist?

All I do is hurt people. I can't seem to do anything right.

It's been that way since I was a child. I wish I was with Jesus.

2 Consider it a great Joy, my •brothers, whenever you experience various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:2-4…

The heart became the focus for all the vital functions of the body; including both intellectual and spiritual life. The heart and the intellect are closely connected,  it is the seat of intelligence;  

For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and…

I know the elder's wife has very rarely visited for a long time. And that I think is because she couldn't open up the gate.

Awhile back mom taught her. She is still too short to reach the latch but I know she could just get someone else to do it.

I don't know how often she will visit. Whether it'll be once a month or twice or whatever.

You probably already know how mom feels about the belief that Jesus is God. I was comforted when the Holy…

Isaiah 65:17-25 - In the grace and comfort believers have in and from Christ, we are to look for this new heaven and new earth. The former confusions, sins and miseries of the human race, shall be no more remembered or renewed. The approaching happy state of the church is described under a variety of images. He shall be thought to die in his youth, and for his sins, who only lives to the age of a hundred years. The event alone can determine what is meant; but…

When I was growing up I hated church. My parents didn't ever take me but I still hated it for some reason. I hated just the thought of it.

I remember a couple things. I remember my Aunt Nancy [she died when I was probably like 5 so it was ether at 5 or sometime before that age] took me to a church. I assume it was a Catholic church since dad's family was Catholic [they're not now] when I was little.

And I remember for some reason seeing my cousions once in a…

Lord, as I move through this day, my desire is to serve You according to Your will for my life. Help me, Father—to take each step according to Your wisdom, to be guided with clear vision, to minister with a spirit of humility, to touch lives with the hands of compassion, to listen with understanding, to…
