Psalms 27:1-4
A Psalme of Dauid.] The Lord is my light, and my saluation, whome shal I feare? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whō shall I be afraid?
When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon me to eat vp my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Though an host should encampe against me, my heart shall not feare: though warre should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
One thing haue I desired of the Lord, that will I seeke after: that I may dwel in the house of the Lord, all the dayes of my life, to behold the beautie of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Proverbs 31:25-28
“Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness."
Women are strong and resilient, and they best serve their families by inspiring kindness and perseverance in their children.
to all women who have dedicated their live and family to God. Happy mothers Day to our Pastor. Rev Jane Kamwana

(Col. 3:22–4:1)
Happy Labor Day
“Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven”

Blessed Sunday.
1 Peter:1.17
You call him Father, when you pray to God, who judges all people by the same standard, according to what each one has done; so then, spend the rest of your lives here on earth in reverence for him.
1 Peter:1.18
For you know what was paid to set you free from the worthless manner of life handed down by your ancestors. It was not something that can be destroyed, such as silver or gold;
1 Peter:1.19
it was the costly sacrifice of Christ, who was like a lamb without defect or flaw.
1 Peter:1.20
He had been chosen by God before the creation of the world and was revealed in these last days for your sake.
1 Peter:1.21
Through him you believe in God, who raised him from death and gave him glory; and so your faith and hope are fixed on God.

Anytime we disobey God is called sin. The penalty for sin is death, but God in his love wants us to live. Therefore, he sent the promised Messiah (also called Christ) to save the world (John 1:41). The Son of God, Jesus Christ, came to earth to die in our place. Because He lived a life without sin, only He was qualified to pay for our sins by His death on a cross. He then demonstrated His power over death when He rose from the grave three days later. Only through Jesus can our sins can be forgiven and we can come to God (Acts 4:12). Jesus Christ is the Savior of everyone in the world (John 3:16).

Always trust in the Lord
A poor SDA church in Nyeri, Kenya, whose house was leaking and the walls were almost collapsing.

After the service the Pastor asked the worshippers if they could organise a fundraising next week on Sabbath to rebuild the church.

He told them to contribute whatever God had blessed each and everyone of them with.

"If you have some money, you can bring the money. If you earn a living by selling tomatoes in the market, you can bring the tomatoes and we'll get them auctioned to raise the money. If you operate a hardware, it would be even better; you can bring some nails and iron sheets for the roof. Whatever you have."

Eventually, it was the day of fundraising and worshippers came out in large numbers, some with money in their pockets, others with goods depending on their jobs and sources of livelihood.

They were met by a strange sight - a coffin at the entrance of the church!

Gosh! Who had died?

But then nobody had announced any death having taken place.

What was going on?

People started talking in whispers asking what was the meaning of it.

They started pointing fingers at Wamùmbe seated at a corner; he was the coffin maker.

Some looked at him in open hostility, but he didn't mind them.

The Pastor had said that people should bring whatever God had blessed them with, right?

And Wamùmbe was a coffin maker...

After the sermon, it was time to raise funds; those who had money contributed, hardware people gave iron sheets and other building equipment and materials; tomato traders had brought their tomatoes which were auctioned away.

Finally, Wamùmbe dragged his coffin to the front of the church and stood still... people gasped and fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Suddenly Mburu , a friend of Wamùmbe stood up. He offered Ksh 15,000 for the coffin on behalf of the Pastor. He said he was buying it for the Pastor.

The Pastor shot up so fast with eyes wide open, his lips suddenly very dry.

He quickly offered Ksh 20,000 for the coffin on behalf of the Women Ministries leader - Mama Karanja.

The Lady nearly stumbled as she sprang to her feet looking so shocked at seeing her coffin. "No! no! no!" She shouted, "it is not mine! I ...I ... I..will buy it for the First Elder!..Ksh 30,000 please!... please!"

The First Elder nearly peed on himself.

He turned to look at her angrily as if to ask, "Do you want to kill me?!"

Clearly nobody wanted the coffin and it kept on being passed around until finally an old rich man stood at the back and said that he was offering Ksh 100,000 for the coffin and he was buying it for Mr Wamùmbe the coffin maker.

Wamùmbe took his coffin and returned it to his shop ...smiling.

Wamùmbe, someone who was looked down upon, someone whom people jeered that he benefited from the misfortunes of others, raised the greatest amount of money for the church without contributing even a single coin.

You can serve God in many different ways.

Perhaps people belittle you until you see yourself as a nobody.... but God wants you just the way you are.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
I Corinthians 15:58
