Richard's Comments

Brother Richard,

Praise the Lord. I surely don't envy your job: the proverbial tax-collectors! Revenue collection is such a noble profession...yet a very tempting undertaking for those minus Christ. Thank God you are one of the elect.

In everything you do brother, do your job well...but remember your mission: God put you there to be light! Understand that God annoints you for trouble too. Therefore, put on the whole armor of God before going to work...then trust Him to fight your wars.

I am happy that in the middle of all these, you can still find time reach out to your friends.

Be uplifted dear brother.

Pastor Bernhard

Hey Brother,

How blessing to see the face of our flag in this wonderful site. After the uncalled for blood-shed, we need to pray increasingly for Kenya. Most of the spiritual leaders we have are hypocritical-their true nature came out during the just concluded elections.

God is raising up a new generation of true servants who don't mellow in being known...We are little known on earth while sooo well known in heaven that we make the devil tremble, which is what matters. Brother Richard, I will be delighted to get to know you more. please get in touch.

Lotsa kind regards to your two daughters and wife.

Hi Richard after hearing all about the troubles that have overtaken Kenya in these past few weeks I want you to know that there are many christians in South Africa, lifting up your country and the situation in prayers. We are and have claimed Kenya for Jesus and we know that God will do a mighty work of restoration and healing in your land. I pray

" Father, in the name of Jesus, and in the power of the Holy Spirit, I lift up the leaders of Kenya to you.
I pray for the President and for every elected and appointed offical who serves. I bring before You the fathers and mothers of all the households, the teachers of the children, the leadership of the churches, the CEO's, managers, department heads of the companies, ministries and charity organisations... absolutely every single person who is leading.
I pray that you will give them the wisdom and courage to lead with integrity, I ask that the leaders will study and understand, and follow the principles of Your Word, the Bible. May they realise that all authority comes from You, not from man. May they keep in mind that they will give an account of what they have done with the position and power You have given them.
Lord, grant the leaders of Kenya wisdom and discernment to understand Your Word and courage and strength to do Your will. Fill them with the love of the truth, righteousness and justice, that You may be glorified as they serve their followers faithfully. In Jesus precious name, Amen."

Ezekiel 22:30-31 "I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before Me in the gap on behalf of the land (Kenya) so I would not destroy it, but I found none." Thank you Lord that You will find such a man and indeed many men in Kenya to stand in the gap for their land, so that You will not destroy it. In Jesus name, amen.

Ephesians 3:20 " Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be Glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever, Amen."

Keeping you and your family in our prayers for safety and quick resolution to your situation at present.
Yours in Christ, Lynor

Hi Richard, welcome to the net. I also just joined recently and I'm also from the lovely continent of Africa (South Africa to be exact) but I'm living in the UK for the time being. I pray that God will bless you richly and I hope we both make lots of good Jesus-loving friends on this site :-)

Hi Richard Glad to see that quite a few people from the African continent are joining this net. I am from Johannesburg and have visited Nairobi on many occassions. Our church also has an ongoing connection with many churches in Kenya to uplift, teach and assist. Kenya is in our prayers continually.
My heart jumps with joy when I see our prayers answered, for the governments in Afirca, to have godly men and woman placed in positions of leadership.

I pray that you may be filled with Godly wisdom as you go about your daily duties and may you be a shining light and wonderful testimony for our Lord to those aound you.

Tanks Richard for the welcome note i pray that your'e strong and healthly in mind body and sprit be incourage and stay in pray he prays is the answer to all things in our Lord Jesus Christ. the Bahamas is fine we all are on the battle field for Jesus.

Thanks so much for your kind words of encouragement, brother.
