NENO LA MUNGU AU MIUJIZA ?

Tungependa kuona miujiza mingi kuliko kusikiliza neno la Mungu na kuliamini. Lakini, kati ya miujiza na neno la Mungu, ni nini kitakachotuokoa?

Waandishi na Mafarisayo walipomwambia Yesu: “Mwalimu, twataka kuona kwako”(Mathayo 12:38), alijibu kwamba ufufuo wake utakuwa muujiza wenye ufasaha zaidi kwao.(soma Mathayo 12:38-40)

Hakika, muujiza wa ufufuo unatosha sisi kumwamini Yesu na yule aliyemfufua. Miujiza mingine isiweke imani yetu.
Zaidi ya hayo, miujiza yote si lazima itoke kwa Mungu, kuna mingine inatoka kwa Shetani. Yesu alituonya kuhusu hili:
“Watatokea makristo wa uongo, na manabii wa uongo, nao watatoa ishara kubwa na maajabu; wapate kuwapoteza, kama yamkini, hata walio wateule.”(Mathayo 24:24).

Ikiwa tutashikamana na miujiza, ni ishara halisi kwamba imani yetu haina nguvu na kwamba tuna hatari ya kupotea na kuanguka katika mitego ya Shetani.
Lakini tukishikamana na neno la Mungu, tutaokolewa, kwa sababu neno la Mungu halitujengei tu na kutuhakikishia katika imani, bali pia daima linaumba na kutenda miujiza ya Mungu katika maisha yetu.

OMBI:
Baba yetu uliye mbinguni, utujalie tutosheke na Neno lako.
Ni katika jina la thamani la mwanao Yesu Kristo tunaomba, Amina.

AMANI KWAKO, NDUGU YANGU

Baada ya uasi wa Absalomu, Daudi anaamua kumweka Amasa kuwa mkuu wa jeshi lake kuchukua nafasi ya Yoabu (2 Samweli 19:13).
Yoabu hakufurahi kwa sababu Amasa alikuwa ameamua kwenda upande wa Absalomu na alikuwa ameongoza jeshi la Israeli.

Amasa alipokuja mbele ya watu wa Yuda ili kuwaita, kama mfalme Daudi alivyomwamuru, Yoabu alikuwapo. Kisha Yoabu akamwambia Amasa:
« Amani kwako ndugu yangu. »(2 Samweli 20:9)
Na kwa mkono wake wa kulia akazishika ndevu za Amasa ili kumbusu, na wakati huohuo, kwa mkono wake wa kushoto, akamtumbukiza Amasa kwa upanga wake tumboni mwake, na matumbo yake yakamwagika chini, bila kuchomwa tena. Amasa akafa.

Mtazamo wa Yoabu kwa Amasa unashuhudia hila iliyo ndani yake, na uovu wake.
Tunapaswa kuwaepuka watu wa aina hiyo katika mahusiano yetu na kumwomba Mungu atuepushe nao.
Ikiwa, zaidi ya uwezo wetu, tunajikuta mbele ya watu waovu au watu ambao maadili yao ni ya kutiliwa shaka, tuwe waangalifu.
Ni bora kuwaepuka watu wabaya katika maisha yetu kuliko kudumisha uhusiano wa uwongo wa unafiki nao, ili tusiingie kwenye mitego yao.

OMBI:
Baba yetu uliye mbinguni, utuepushe na watu waovu.
Ni katika jina la thamani la mwanao Yesu Kristo tunaomba, Amina.

HOW ARE YOU, MY BROTHER ?

After Absalom’s revolt, David decides to put Amasa at the head of his army to replace Joab (2 Samuel 19:13).
Joab does not support the competition as much as Amasa had previously chosen the camp of Absalom and had been at the head of the army of Israel.

When Amasa came before the men of Judah to summon them, as King David had commanded him, Joab was there. Joab then said to Amasa:
« How are you, my brother? »(2 Samuel 20:9)
And with his right hand he seized Amasa’s beard to kiss him, and at that very moment, with his left hand, he plunged Amasa with his dagger into his belly, and his intestines spilled out on the ground, without being stabbed again. Amasa died.

Joab’s attitude towards Amasa testifies to the treachery that is in him, and his wickedness.
We should avoid such people in our relationships and ask God to keep us from them.
If, beyond our control, we find ourselves in the presence of wicked people or people whose morality is questionable, let us be careful.
It is better to avoid bad people in our lives than to maintain false hypocritical relationships with them, so as not to fall into their traps.

PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, keep us from wicked people.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.

TE PORTES-TU BIEN, MON FRÈRE ?

Après la révolte de Absalom, David décide de mettre Amasa à la tête de son armée en remplacement de Joab (2 Samuel 19:13).
Joab ne supporte pas la concurrence d’autant qu’Amasa avait choisi précédemment le camp d’Absalom et avait été à la tête de l’armée d’Israël.

Lorsque Amasa arriva devant les hommes de Juda pour les convoquer, comme le roi David le lui avait ordonné, Joab était là. Joab dit alors a Amasa:
« Te portes-tu bien, mon frère? »(2 Samuel 20:9)
Et de la main droite il saisit la barbe d’Amasa pour le baiser, et à ce moment même, de la main gauche, il frappa de son épée Amasa au ventre et répandit ses entrailles à terre, sans lui porter un second coup. Et Amasa mourut.

L’attitude de Joab envers Amasa témoigne de la traitrise qui est en lui, et sa méchanceté.
Nous devons éviter de telles personnes dans nos relations et demander à Dieu de nous en garder.
Si, indépendamment de notre volonté, nous nous retrouvons en présence des personnes méchantes ou des personnes dont la moralité est douteuse, soyons prudents.
Il vaut d’ailleurs mieux plutôt éviter des personnes méchantes dans nos vies que d’entretenir de fausses relations hypocrites avec elles, pour ne pas tomber dans leurs pièges.

PRIÈRE:
Notre Père qui êtes aux cieux, gardez-nous des personnes méchantes.
C’est dans le nom précieux de votre fils Jésus-Christ que nous prions, Amen.

FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

One of the first purposes of the Holy Spirit when it comes into the life of a Christian is to transform him.
« The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. »(Galatians 5:22-23)
The fruit of the Spirit is what God wants to see manifest in our lives, and with the help of the Holy Spirit.

1. Love:
It is the Holy Spirit, who pours love into our hearts (Romans 5:5).
He is the perfection of our soul, because he unites us to God who is our last end and to our neighbours.
2. Joy (in God):
It is a disposition of the soul, by which we rejoice in all the perfections of God and all the goods which we know have been given to our neighbor and to us for the glory of God.
Rejoice in the Lord always (Philippians 4:4).
3. Peace (of the Lord):
It is the tranquility of the soul, it makes us peaceful ourselves, by the empire it gives us over the passions which disturb our soul. The peace of the Lord is a good, which surpasses all feeling.
4. Patience:
It is a virtue that makes us bear with resignation and courage all the evils of this life, however great and long they may be.
5. Kindness:
It is a quality of the soul, which leads us to always do what is right. It makes us attentive and exact in all our duties, fervent and devout towards God, tender, affable, sincere, charitable towards our neighbour.
6. Goodness:
It is a good disposition of the soul which leads us to do good to our fellow-creatures, makes us sensitive to their sorrows and their embarrassments, and urges us to seek the means of extricating them.
7. Faithfulness:
It consists in candid fidelity, without mistrust, without subterfuge, without artifice, to any contracted commitment. This virtue is the basis of social relations.
8. Gentleness:
This virtue impels us to render service to our brothers, to sympathize with their afflictions, as if they were our own disgraces, to help them promptly, as far as is in our power and without listening to our reluctance and our delicacy. (Acts 10.38)
9. Self-control:
It is an austere virtue, which makes us resist the attraction of the passions and all carnal desires.

PRAYER :
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to bear fruit of all the fruits of the Holy Spirit for your glory.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
