Testimony: “MY SALARY HAS BEEN TRIPLED!!!”

When God is involved in your case, there is appointment in disappointment and breakthrough in poverty! Here is a testimony of an Emmanuel TV viewer who began enjoying the favour of God in his life and career after praying along with Prophet T.B. Joshua. Hallelujah!

“Emmanuel! If God is with us, nobody can be against us. I want to testify that the God of TB Joshua has taken me out of poverty and into abundant blessing! For six good years, I had lived from hand to mouth. Things were not moving. I could not even pay bills freely and just to provide food for my home was a daily struggle. With Emmanuel TV, Prophet T.B. Joshua and the five Wise Men, I have been able to see the glorious hand of God in my life.

“After being introduced to Emmanuel TV, I began praying along with Prophet T.B. Joshua as he prayed for the viewers. Believing God for a breakthrough, I decided to apply for departmental change in my workplace, seeking for greener pastures. Before the interviews were held, I called an Emmanuel TV prayer line and the evangelist advised me to remain in faith. When I did the interviews, I knew that God was with me. I had such peace in my heart. By the grace of God, I beat six good candidates who were from the same department and had much more experience than me.

“As I am sending this testimony, my salary has been tripled and I have been allocated an operational vehicle to use for my assignments! I am now living comfortably and can see the glory of God shining in my life. Before this breakthrough, God also did wonders in my family. After 4 years of barrenness coupled by two infant deaths and two miscarriages, God of TB Joshua gave us twins, Misheck and Michelle! Glory to God, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ! Amen.”

UJUMBE: MIKATABA INAYOTOKANA NA KAFARA Tar. 2.9.2012

Na Mchungaji Kiongozi Josephat Gwajima 

Utangulizi:

Wakristo wengi huwa hawazungumzii neno kafara kwasababu wanahisi kuwa ni la waganga wa kienyeji, lakini hili neno limeandikwa kwenye biblia mara nyingi sana. Hii ni kuonyesha kuwa  wapo watu wanatoa kafara.

KAFARA KWENYE BIBLIA:

Baada ya Yoshua na wana wa Israeli kuangusha ukuta wa Yeriko, Yoshua aliweka agano kuwa atakayeamua kujenga ukuta ataanza kwa kufiwa na mwanawe wa kwanza na akasema akimaliza atafiwa na mwanae wa pili. Yoshua 6:20-27. Lakini miaka mingi baadaye mtu mmoja akatoa kafara ya wanawe ili aweze kujenga ngome ya Yeriko kwa upya, Kumbe kafara yaweza kutolewa kwa ajili ya kujenga kitu duniani. Imeandikwa katika  1Wafalme 16:38.  

2Wafalme 3:20-27, Hapa tunaona habari ya Huyu Mfalme ambaye baada ya kuona anashindwa vita dhidi ya wana wa Israeli, akaamua kumtoa kafara mwanaye na hilo jambo likawa hasira juu ya Israeli na kashinda vita. Kumbe kafara inaweza ikamwezesha mtu kushinda vita. Ukisoma maandiko haya kwa haraka hutoweza kuelewa lakini ukikaa ukatafakari utaona kuna jambo la muhimu  sana hapo.

Kafara ya mtu kwenye biblia; 2Wafalme17:17,“Wakawapitisha watoto wao, waume na wake, motoni, wakapiga ramli, wakafanya uchawi, wakajiuza nafsi zao wapate kufanya yaliyo maovu machoni pa Bwana, hata kumkasirisha” kumpitisha mtoto motoni ni kumchoma moto kama kafara yaani ukisoma biblia ya kingereza inatumia neno “sacrifices “ Ezekieli 16:20-21, kumbe jambo la kafara lipo kwenye biblia,na hapa Ezekieli anasema wakawatoa kafara wanao kuwa chakula; na pia neno hili limeoneka na pia katika kitabu cha Ezekieli 20:31-32.

KWELI KUHUSU KAFARA:

Mtoto au mtu akitolewa kafara anakuwa ameuwawa Mwili na kupewa majini au mashetani, katika biblia shetani anayehusika na mambo ya kafara, Mambo ya Walawi 18:21;  ukisoma biblia ya Kiswahili unaweza ukahisi moleki ni mtu lakini tuangalie kwenye biblia ya kingereza “do not give out your children to be sacrifices..” Mambo ya Walawi 20:2 “who sacrifices..  kumbe inawezekana unaumwa na upo kwenye ugonjwa kumbe ndio unatolewa kafara hivyo..

Kumbe sasa waweza  kumwona mtu amekufa na ugonjwa Fulani kumbe ni kafara, mwingine anatoa kafara kwa ajili ya utajiri. Mambo ya Walawi 20:3, pia tunaona kuwa kumbe wachawi hawa wanatoa ndugu na si mtu ambaye hamjui. Yaani kama una ndugu wa karibu au wa mbali ambaye ni mchawi, Yule ndiye anayeweza kukutoa kafara, na kwenye kitabu cha Mambo ya walawi  shetani aliyekuwa anahusika na kafara aliitwa Moleki. Walawi 20:4,5  2Wafalme 20:10

Hayo maandiko ni ya agano la kale lakini pia katika agano jipya jambo hili limetajwa pia; 2Wakorintho 10:20 “.”

KWANINI WATU WANATOA KAFARA:

Ukiangalia habari ya Nuhu baada ya kutoka kwenye safina nuhu alimtolea Mungu sadaka na ile harufu ilipofika kwa Mungu; akasema hatailaani nchi tena kumbe ile harufu ina maana sana kwenye ulimwengu wa roho; vivyo hivyo wanapo mtolea shetani kafara wanalenga kumpa ile harufu na ile harufu inamfanya shetani awa tekelezee wanayohitaji. Mtu anamtoa mwanawe ili kuwapa kafara mashetani, wamtekelezee anacho hitaji kama utajiri n.k.

Mambo ya Walawi 2:12 “Vitu hivyo mtavisongeza kwa Bwana kuwa ni malimbuko; lakini visifike juu ya madhabahu kuwa ni harufu ya kupendeza.” Utajiuliza hii harufu na sadaka; hapa ni kafara inayotolewa kwa mashetani. Mambo ya Walawi 3:15, 16, Hesabu 5:17, Sadaka ya vinywaji hii ni baadhi ya mila hapa kwetu ni pale mtu anakunywa pombe alafu anawapulizia watu, hii ndio inaitwa sadaka ya vinywaji inayotolewa. Sasa hii inapotolewa kwa mashetani kwenye ulimwengu wa roho wanakuja mahali pale. Hesabu 15:10; 17:24; 18:7

KUWA MAKINI NA KAFARA ZILIZOTOLEWA KWA MASHETANI:

Kumbe shetani anaweza kutolewa kafaraza aina mbalimbali inaweza kuwa ya vinywaji, uji, nafaka, harufu, watoto au watu wazima; na ni muhimu kuwa makini sana na kuhudhuria sherehe ambazo si za ki Mungu kwasababu waweza kujikuta unashiriki kwenye sadaka hiyo. Kuna watu ambao matatizo yao yamewaanza baada ya kushiriki chakula cha kafara jambo hili biblia imekataza kwasababu ya madhara yake.

Ufunuo 5:8; 8:3 hapa biblia inataja sadaka ya harufu, na ndio maana ukienda kwenye maduka mengi utakuta wameweka vitu vinaitwa ubani; Hii ni sadaka au kafala ya kuteketezwa kwa majini, Isaya 43:23; Yeremia 6:20; 17:26, Ubani na Udi ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa, kimsingi; ile harufu ndiyo inayoifanya iitwe sadaka ya kuteketezwa, kwahiyo mtu unayemuona anachoma ubani ni anakuwa anatoa kafara ya ubani. Nehemia 13:9.. sadaka za unga na sadaka za ubani. Kimsingi watu tuliookolewa hatutoi sadaka za ubani kwasababu biblia inasema maombi ya watakatifu ndio sadaka ya harufu kwa Mungu. (Yohana 19:39)

Kumbe unapoona mahali au duka ukakuta wanachoma udi kimsingi ni kwamba wanaita Mashetani ambayo yanawasaidia kuleta wateja. Na ndio maana maduka mengi yana kuwa na vitu hivi ambavyo ni kafara au sadaka ya harufu; ili majini yaite wateja. Na ndio maana watu wengi wenye majini wanapenda ubani kwasababu kile ndio chakula chao.

KAFARA YA NCHI:

Kuna uwezekano nchi ikawekewa kafara ili wananchi wasiongee, yaani kunakuwa na matatizo katika nchi lakini kumbe ni kwasababu ya kuwaita mashetani ili kufanya wananchi wasidai haki yao. Na ndio maana kuna vitu ambavyo vinapitishwa kwenye nchi ambavyo kwa hakika ni kafara ya harufu kwa shetani. Mambo kama mwenge unaopita ni sadaka kwa mashetani kwa ajili ya nchi, kama unahitaji kujua ukweli wa jambo hili muombe Mungu akuonyeshe; katika ulimwengu wa roho, utajua wazi kuwa ni kafara kabisa kwa ajili ya nchi nzima.

Biblia iko wazi kuhusu kafara inayotolewa kwa ajili ya nchi; Katika biblia Kumbukumbu La Torati 32:43 “Furahini, enyi mataifa, pamoja na watu wake; Kwa maana atatwaa kisasi kwa damu ya watumwa wake, Atawatoza kisasi adui zake,  Tena atafanya kafara kwa nchi yake, na watu wake.” Kumbe kuna uwezakano wa nchi kutolewa kafara yaani mtu anatoa sadaka ili kuita mashetani kwenye nchi. Ni muhimu unapokuwa unaomba uwe unavunja na kusambaratisha kafara zilizo tolewa katika nchi. Nchi ya Tanzania inatakiwa ikombolewe kutoka kwenye kafala.

NGUVU YA KAFARA:

Unaweza ukajiuliza kafara inafanyaje kazi; kimsingi; sadaka au kafara ya vinywaji, damu au vyote tulivyoona ni chakula cha mashetani. Na kimsingi mashetani yapo katika ngazi mbalimbali kuanzia majoka mpaka kwenye majini majini madogo; kwahiyo wachawi au washirikina huita mashetani kulingana na ukubwa wa kafara kama ikitolewa kafara ya kuku anakuja shetani wa ngazi ndogo. Na ikitolewa kafara kubwa kama ya mtu inaliita shetani la ngazi ya juu sana. Hivyo kama mtu hajaokoka ni rahisi kutolewa kafara kwasababu anakuwa hana ulinzi wa Mungu.

WHO IS LIKE MY JESUS : Miracles with T B Joshua

Hekima fupi kutoka kwa Mch kiongozi J Gwajima:

kuna mambo manne ili mtu aweze kufanikiwa kwa kingeleza ni 'Break-through'
1. Maarifa
Ukiwa na maarifa aidha ya neno la Mungu au elimu ya kawaida yatakusaidia kupita kwenye eneo ambalo wengine hawawezi kupita, maarifa ni kitu muhimu sana kwenye maisha. elimu ya Neno la Mungu, ufundi au elimu ya darasani. ' mshike sana elimu usimwache aende zake.

2. Ishi vizuri na watu:

kuishi na watu ni vizuri kwasababu inakutengenezea njia ya kupita, biblia inasema Yesu alikuwa katika hekima na kimo akimpendeza Mungu na wanadamu. kumbe kuwa na mwonekano mzuri mbele ya watu ni jambo zuri kwaajili ya mafanikio.

3. Tabia njema:
mtu anaweza kuwa na maarifa na kipawa lakini akikosa tabia njema hawezi kufanikiwa. mfano mtu ni mwimbaji kaitwa mahali kuimba watu wakapenda lakini tabia ikiwa mbaya hata kile kipawa au elimu yake itadharauliwa.

4. Mpende Mungu kila wakati hata kama hakuna anaye kuuona:
hii ni hatua ya juu sana katika kuumjua Mungu ndio inaitwa kuwa na hofu ya Mungu kwa lugha nyingine ni kumcha Mungu. hii ndio chanzo cha haya mengine biblia inasema 'kumcha Mungu ndio chanzo cha maarifa' na hili jambo ni sahihi.. tenda yanayompendeza Mungu bila kuanfalia nani anakuona!

barikiwa sana............!!!!!

Pastor Dr. Dag Heward Mills: A Father is A Rare Gift

For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
1 Corinthians 4:15

The gift of a “father” is a rare gift. Not every man of God is a father. Not everyone who teaches the Word of God is a father. Not all the visiting preachers and teachers were fathers.

Not every prophet is father and Paul pointed this out to the Corinthians.

There will be many people who will make an input into your life. Instructors and teachers abound but these are different from fathers. A father’s input is comprehensive. A father gives you a complete package that goes further than a good teaching. A teacher is concerned about giving a good lesson. A prophet is concerned about ministering the power of God through visions, dreams and words of knowledge. But a father is concerned with your total welfare.

Because fathering involves much more, there are not many fathers! It is easier to go through the prepared notes than it is to give total care. People can be so difficult and so ungrateful that only fathers can handle them over the long term.

There are many, many pastors, evangelists and prophets, but a fathering prophet–who can find? That is why Paul said: “You can have ten thousand instructors but you do not have many fathers.”

The key characteristic of a father is not his age but his ability to produce after his own kind. Contrary to some opinions, there are many young people with a father’s heart.

In the natural, people often become fathers at a young age. The proof of fatherhood is in the children who are produced by the father. It takes love, commitment and patience to bring up children. In the end, the children attest to your fatherhood.

In the natural, people often become fathers at a young age. The proof of fatherhood is in the children who are produced by the father. It takes love, commitment and patience to bring up children. In the end, the children attest to your fatherhood.

The fathering spirit is that thing which causes a man of God to produce people just like himself in the ministry. Very simply put, the fathering gift is a manifestation of God’s love. It takes love to bring up people who don’t understand what is being done for them.

It takes love to bring up people who will not understand you for many years. Truly, God sends many, many teachers who minister to our lives. They will minister the lessons and the points that make up the doctrine. But a father will go many steps further. In addition to teaching you, he will minister the love and the patience that are needed to bring you into God’s perfect will.

Idealism in a minister makes him look for perfection all the time. Idealists and perfectionists are not usually good fathers. They often do not appreciate that the grace of God is working slowly in someone’s life. They insist on perfection all the time and that is not possible with human beings.

You can receive a man of God as a teacher. You can also receive him as a pastor. You may receive a man of God as a prophet or evangelist. It is also possible to receive him as a father.

May you find a father in this life! May you receive the capacity to love and to become a father yourself!

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome: The Right Time to Date

Question 6 – William (South Africa): Dear Pastor, thank you for answering our questions online. I’m a first year student, I’d like you to share your views and thoughts on dating. When is it the right time?


Answer 6: The right time is when you become responsible. Now, when your parents are responsible for your education and responsible for everything you do, you are not responsible, so why go dating? Dating is really the idea that you are fixing certain times to get to meet someone and know that person, get to learn about that individual, and so that’s what it is. So, if you are deciding that “okay, I want to do this,” because you don’t just date, you date for a purpose, you are hoping to get married to that person if everything is right and during that dating period you are wanting to find out whether she is alright [or] is he alright? So, you would only begin dating when you are responsible, but there is more.

Now, usually dating is something that should be done when you know the right direction to go. But, in the world, it is done as “I am trying to find out, I am trying to know if this is the right person for me;” that’s what it is generally in the world: “I am trying to find out whether she is nice, whether she is good, whether she is okay for me, and if I think so then I go ahead and say well this might be the person I want to marry.” But, in Christ, things are the other way; we don’t try to find out by dating first. We know first and date after, [see?] We don’t date to try and find out if you are right after; we know first that you are right and then we date. That’s the difference. So, it means you have to have the kind of understanding, spiritual understanding and maturity to make the right decision, or even better, decisions are made for you.

Now, let me explain this to you: in the book of Genesis, we have two brothers by the names of Esau and Jacob, and in the bible, it tells us that these things were written for us for our learning and it is important for us to know how things ought to function in the kingdom of God. First, we talk about Abraham. Abraham was married to Sarah for many years, and they had no child until the Bible tells us that God visited Sarah after He had made a promise to Abraham, and He said “I am going to bless you and make you a blessing and your seed shall be the source of blessing to all nations.” [Genesis 12:2] He was saying there He was going to bring forth the Christ. Now, there are several other scriptures along with this but it does tell us that from then on Abraham became a special person [Genesis 17]. The Bible tells us that he entered into a covenant with God, so he was no longer an ordinary person – ordinary man. He was a man who was a friend of God; he was in a covenant relationship with God, and that meant that everyone in his lineage became a special person, because the promise was made to Abraham and his seed.

Now, his son Isaac was going to get married and what did Abraham do? He didn’t say “Isaac, which of the young girls around you do you like?” He didn’t say that. He sent his most senior servant to go and get a wife for Isaac, and Eleazar the servant of Abraham travelled this long journey, [Genesis 24] and he (Eleazar) prayed to God, He said “Please send your angel to guide me, send your angel to guide me to get a wife for my master’s son Isaac.” Now, why was that so important? Because Isaac was in the covenant, so it mattered who he was going to get married to.

Then Isaac had these two boys Esau and Jacob. Esau liked the young girls that he saw; he dated those that he liked. Now, let’s see what happened. From Genesis 28:1-7 “And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughers of Laban thy mother’s brother. And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham. And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother. When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughers of Canaan; [Esau heard it, Esau saw that Jacob obeyed his father] And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;”

Let me take it through again; I want you to listen to this. Isaac calls his son Jacob after he [Jacob] had received the blessing of Abraham, and he said…now, remember at this time, Jacob had received the blessing and Esau had missed the blessing and the Bible does tell us something about Esau. It says that Esau was profane; that, you find in the book of Hebrews 12:16. It says that Esau was profane; that means that he didn’t regard spiritual things, so including when he wanted to get married, he just did it the way other guys did. But, Isaac was careful about Jacob, and he called Jacob to him[self] and said “I don’t want you to marry from here. Don’t marry the daughters of Canaan.” He told him exactly where to go. He told him exactly which family to go to and the daughters of the particular man. He said “Go and marry from there.” He gave him specific directions, saying “Here is where I want you to go.” Why? Because of the blessing! And, when he said all of that to him, he said “And the Lord give you this blessing of Abraham to go with you.” That’s so important and the Bible says that Esau, Jacob’s brother, was watching; he heard it, he heard the instruction, [he was already married] he heard the instructions given to Jacob and then in verse 7 the bible says “And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, [Esau saw that Jacob had obeyed his father and went to Padabaram; now, let’s listen to verse 8]… And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.” He had to add to what he had already had, because he had married from among the daughters of Canaan, and he married two ladies. Let me read what the bible says about them, in Genesis chapter 26 and from verse 34 “And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite: [verse 35, talking about these two ladies]Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.” [Genesis 26:34-35] These wives of Esau were a grief of mind to Esau’s parents, the two of them.

Now in chapter [I want to show you something here] 27, reading from verse 46, listen to what Rebekah said “And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?” [Genesis 27:46] She was, she felt so terrible and she said “look, we can’t allow Jacob to make the same mistake,” the mistake that was made by Esau, and that’s why the Bible tells us where we were over reading in chapter 28 and from verse 6, that Esau saw that his father instructed Jacob as to where to go to get married and which particular family to go to get married, and that he blessed him with the blessing of Abraham, and he also noted that Jacob obeyed his father and went to where he was sent to get married, and he wished he’d changed. He [Esau] wished he had another chance. So, now what he did was he, over in verse 9, went to the family of Ishmael, he got closer now and got married to…the Bible says “he took unto the wives which he had [added onto the ones he had] Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son…” That didn’t change anything anyway, because the blessing had already been given to Jacob, and he went again on his own and got a third one.

So, it’s very important that we understand that, for us Christians, we are not going around trying to date to find out whether this is right for us. We know what is right first before we say “Okay this is what I am going to do.” So, we need to be guided spiritually; we need to be guided. We must always have the consciousness of our calling in mind; as Jacob was instructed, he had the consciousness of his calling in mind. [We have to get some form of guidance] That’s not to say it must come from the parents. The reason this was important coming from the parents was because Isaac the father of Jacob was the one who had the promise; he had the blessing, and he had also been instructed by his father Abraham the same way. The most important thing here is to have the guidance of God, spiritual guidance. This is most important, and Jacob had that spiritual guidance from Isaac his father, because he [Isaac] was a prophet, even though he was Jacob’s father. He was a prophet of God and that’s important. To have spiritual guidance apart from your knowledge within your spirit which the Holy Spirit guides you, the other person that is important in your life is your Pastor; that’s important.

Now, it is not right for a Christian to go looking round for some prophet to guide him about getting married; it’s not right to go to a Pastor which is not your Pastor, because you know it’s like going to any minister saying “I want to get married. Can you give me some spiritual guidance?” He is not expected to give you spiritual guidance, because he can show you God’s Word, but when it comes to guidance about things not necessarily given exact instruction as to this or that, for example “Do I take this job? Do I marry this woman? Do I go left or right,” things like this, you can’t just go to a Prophet or a Pastor outside and ask such questions, because these things are given to those that God has brought into your life to guide you through the Word of God on a consistent basis, not just because someone is a spiritual leader somewhere else.

UJUMBE : LAANA YA FAMILIA pt 2 26.8.2012

Na Mch. Kiongozi: JOSEPHAT GWAJIMA

Utangulizi:
Tuliangalia wiki iliyopita kuwa Baraka zaweza kurithishwa; Mithali 13:22 na kwa namna hiyo tukaona pia kuwa kama Baraka zaweza kurithishwa basi hata laana zaweza kurithishwa; Tukaona pia wazazi wazazi wanapotenda mema, wema huo huo hupita hadi kwa wana wa wanao 2Timotheo 1:3-5 kwa namna hii tukaona kuwa imani yaweza kupita kutoka kwa baba hadi kwa mototo:

Laana ni mashetani yaliyoagizwa kuja kwenye maisha, ukoo, familia n.k yaliyotumwa kuja kusimamia tatizo Fulani; laweza kuwa kutokuzaa, vifo vya mapema, magonjwa, umaskini na matatizo. Na kama vile Roho Mtakatifu husimamia neno litimie vivyo hivyo na mashetani yanasimamia ukae kwenye tatizo hilo ili laana iendelee kukaa. Kuna aina mbalimbali za laana.

FAMILIA YAWEZA KUWA CHINI YA LAANA:
Kila unalofanya leo zuri au baya lina athari kwako na kwa watoto wako pia; Na ndio maana wana wa Israeli kwa kulijua hili, baada ya pilato kunawa mikono kuwa hausiki kumsulibisha Yesu wao wakasema damu yake iwe juu yetu na watoto wetu; Mathayo 27:24-26 Wana wa Israeli walijua kuwa kama Yesu hana hatia basi lazima laana ipite kwenye maisha yao. 1 Petro1:18 Kimsingi imani yaweza kurithishwa, kutoka kwa mzazi hadi kwa watoto. Kama wazazi wakitenda uovu, ile laana yaweza kupita katika kizazi chake KUTOKA 34:5-8, Mungu anaweza kupitiliza laana katika ukoo kwasababu ya uovu.
Na ndio maana waweza kuwaona hata viongozi wa Tanzania; unakuta baba alikuwa kiongozi serikalini na mtoto wake pia uongozi unawafuata.

MATATIZO YANAYO FANANA:
Kumbukumbu 5:7-10; Laana yaweza kusababisha familia ikawa na matatizo yanayo fanana; na ndio maana waweza kukuta kwenye familia baba alikufa maskini na mtoto naye umaskini unamfuata; laana ya familia. Yeremia 32:17-18 “wewe uwarehemuye watu elfu nyingi, uwalipaye baba za watu uovu wao vifuani mwa watoto wao baada yao; Mungu aliye mkuu, aliye hodari, Bwana wa majeshi ndilo jina lake;” Biblia iko wazi kuhusu swala hili, Mungu huwalipa wazazi uovu wao kupitia wana wao, na ndio maana mataifa mengi ya kiafrika ni maskini kwasababu mataifa yapo kwenye laana kwasababu ya aidha viongozi au historia ya huko nyuma.

Kipindi cha Yoshua alikuwepo mtu mmoja anaitwa Akani, aliyeliletea taifa zima la Israeli laana; kumbe taifa laweza kuingia kwenye laana kwasababu ya mtu mmoja Yoshua 7:24 “Kisha Yoshua, na Israeli wote pamoja naye, wakamtwaa Akani, mwana wa Zera, na ile fedha, na Lile joho, na ile kabari ya dhahabu, na wanawe, na binti zake, na ng'ombe zake, na punda zake, na kondoo zake, na hema yake, na vitu vyote alivyokuwa navyo, wakavileta juu hata bonde la Akori. Yoshua akasema, Mbona umetufadhaisha hivi? Bwana atakufadhaisha wewe leo. Ndipo Israeli wote wakampiga kwa mawe, kisha wakawateketeza kwa moto, na kuwapiga kwa mawe.” Mtu mmoja aliingizia taifa zima laana, nchi yaweza pata laana kwasababu ya mtu mmoja.

MFANO WA NUHU NA WANAWE:
Nuhu baada ya kutoka kwenye safina akawa na watoto wake; baada ya kuishi kuna jambo likatokea la kushangaza ambalo kupitia hilo tutajifunza; Mwanzo 9:18 “Wana wa Nuhu waliotoka katika safina, ni Shemu, na Hamu, na Yafethi; na Hamu ndiye baba wa Kanaani.” Hapa tunaona kuwa Kanaani alikuwa mtoto wa Hamu; jambo la kushangaza ni kwamba Nuhu alilewa alafu akanywa kileo akalewa; akawa uchi alafu mwanaye ambaye ni Hamu akamwona akiwa uchi alafu akaenda kuwambia ndugu zake.

Lakini baada ya Nuhu kuelevuka kutoka katika ulevi, hakumlaani Hamu ambaye ndiye aliyeona lakini yeye akamlaani Kanaani, Mwanzo 9:25-26 “Akasema, Na alaaniwe Kanaani; Atakuwa mtumwa kabisa kwa ndugu zake. Akasema, Na atukuzwe Bwana Mungu wa Shemu; Na Kanaani awe mtumwa wake.” Utajiuliza kwanini Mungu aruhusu kanani aliye mtoto wa Hamu kulaaniwa? Kimsingi; laana hupita katika watoto wa Hamu na ukoo wao lakini laana yao hii ilianzia kwa Hamu.

USHAHIDI WA LAANA YA KANAANI:
Kuthibitisha laana ya Kanaani tuangalie katika uzao wake; Mwanzo 10:15-20 “Kanaani akamzaa Sidoni, mwanawe wa kwanza, na Hethi, na Myebusi, na Mwamori, na Mgirgashi…,” Kumbe wana wa kanaani ndio hao. Na ili kuthibitisha hili emu atuangalie maandiko yafuatayo yanaonyesha

Kupata uthibitisho wa makabila ya watoto wa Kanaani katika kitabu Kutoka 3:8,17 23:23; 33:5; Hawa wote ndio wana wa Kanaani wayebushi n.k. kumbe mtu unaweza ukaamshangaa Mungu anawambia wana wa Israeli wawafukuze hawa kumbe ni kwasababu ya laana ya Hamu iliyokuwa tangu mwanzo hili jambo ni halisi kuwa laana hupita kwenye familia na biblia haibishanii hilo.

UOVU WA MTU WA LEO NI LAANA YA FAMILIA NA UKOO WAKE KESHO:
Mambo ya nyakati 4: 10 “Huyo Yabesi akamlingana Mungu wa Israeli, akisema, Lau kwamba ungenibarikia kweli kweli, na kunizidishia hozi yangu, na mkono wako ungekuwa pamoja nami, nawe ungenilinda na uovu, ili usiwe kwa huzuni yangu! Naye Mungu akamjalia hayo aliyoyaomba.” Yabesi alijua kuwa jambo baya la leo laweza kumletea kilio kesho; na hivyo akaamua kumlingana BWANA akamwomba amuondolee laana. Uovu wa mtu ni laana yake kesho, na laana hii hupita hadi kwenye familia na ukoo wake.

Zakaria 5:1-4 “Ndipo akaniambia, Hii ndiyo laana itokayo kwenda juu ya uso wa nchi yote; maana kwa hiyo kila aibaye atatolewa kama ilivyo upande mmoja, na kwa hiyo kila aapaye atatolewa kama ilivyo upande wa pili. Nitaituma itokee, asema Bwana wa majeshi, nayo itaingia katika nyumba ya mwivi, na katika nyumba yake yeye aapaye kwa uongo kwa jina langu; nayo itakaa katikati ya nyumba yake, na kuiteketeza, pamoja na boriti zake na mawe yake.” Laana yaweza kupaa kufuata familia, na ikiingia ina madhara makubwa. Jambo lolote walilotenda wazazi lina madhara kwa watoto;

MFANO WA MFALME SULEIMANI:

1Wafalme 11:1 “Mfalme Sulemani akawapenda wanawake wengi wageni, pamoja na binti yake Farao, wanawake wa Wamoabi, na wa Waamoni, na wa Waedomi, na wa Wasidoni, na wa Wahiti, na wa mataifa Bwana aliyowaambia wana wa Israeli, Msiingie kwao, wala wasiingie kwenu; kwa kuwa hakika wataigeuza mioyo yenu kuifuata miungu yao. Sulemani akaambatana nao kwa kuwapenda. Akawa na wake mia saba binti za kifalme, na masuria mia tatu; nao wakeze wakamgeuza moyo. Maana ikawa, Sulemani alipokuwa mzee, wake zake wakamgeuza moyo wake, afuate miungu mingine, wala moyo wake haukuwa mkamilifu kwa Bwana, Mungu wake, kama moyo wa Daudi baba yake...”

Ukiendelea kusoma hapo utaona Mfalme Suleimani alifikia kujenga madhabahu ya miungu mingine. Lakini jambo la kushangaza zaidi ni pale Mungu alipokuja kumpa hukumu akamwambia 1Wafalme 11:9-12 “Basi Bwana akamghadhibikia Sulemani kwa sababu moyo wake umegeuka, naye amemwacha Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, aliyemtokea mara mbili, akamwamuru katika habari ya jambo lilo hilo asifuate miungu mingine; lakini yeye hakuyashika aliyoyaamuru Bwana. Kwa hiyo Bwana akamwambia Sulemani, Kwa kuwa umefanya hayo, wala hukuyashika maagano yangu, na sheria zangu nilizokuamuru, hakika nitaurarua ufalme usiwe wako, nami nitampa mtumishi wako. Walakini katika siku zako sitafanya haya, kwa ajili ya Daudi baba yako; nitaurarua utoke katika mkono wa mwana wako.”

Ni jambo ambalo linaweza kuonekana ni la kawaida tu; lakini hili andiko la pili linatuonyesha kuwa wema aliotenda baba waweza kumwokoa mtoto; kwasababu ya mambo mema aliyotenda Daudi yalimfanya Suleimani kupona kutoka kwenye hukumu ya Mungu. Kumbe jambo jema laweza kuokoa familia au ukoo; vivyo hivyo laana ya mtu mwovu inaweza kupita kutoka kwa wazazi hadi kwa watoto.

WASIMAMIZI WA LAANA:
Mtu anakuwa na laana; utajiuliza kwanini laana haitoki? Tukisoma katika kitabu Luka 13:10-16 “Na huyu mwanamke, aliye wa uzao wa Ibrahimu, ambaye Shetani amemfunga miaka kumi na minane hii, haikupasa afunguliwe kifungo hiki siku ya sabato?” Kimsingi kila laana ina pepo anayeisimamia laana hiyo; watu wangemuona miaka 18 kuwa ni mgonjwa kumbe kuna pepo. na ndio maana waweza kumwona mtu kichaa kumbe nyuma yake kuna wasimamizi wa ukichaa.

Pepo waweza kuwa ndani ya mtu au nje ya mtu ili kusimamia laana, na ndio maana waweza kumkutamtu unamwambia twende kanisani ukafunguliwe anakuwa hataki kumbe amesimamiwa na wasimamizi wa laana. Kuna wasimamizi wa kipepo kabisa kwaajili ya kusimamia laana. Na pepo hawa wakiingia ndani ya mtu wanamlazimisha kutenda mambo ya ajabu ili kuitekeleza ile laana.

Wakiwa nje yako wanaweza kukuzuia kwa kuingia ndani ya mtu anayetakiwa kukupa msaada. Vunja laana zote katika JINA LA YESU!!!

Barikiwa!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[akiisha kuifuta ile hati iliyoandikwa ya kutushitaki kwa hukumu zake, iliyokuwa na uadui kwetu; akaiondoa isiwepo tena, akaigongomea msalabani; WAKOLOSAI 2:14]

KUNENA KWA LUGHA:

Ukiona nzi ameweza kutua katika jiko la mkaa, basi kwa urahisi tu utajua kuwa hakuna moto juu ya jiko hilo. Vivyo hivyo kama ndani ya roho yako hamna moto wa Roho Mtakatifu lazima mapepo watafanya makazi. Ili uweze kupata moto wa Roho mtakatifu ndani yako ni lazima ujazwe Roho Mtakatifu na upate muda wa kutosha wa kuomba kwa kunena kwa lugha.

Unapojazwa Roho Mtakatitifu, huwa haingii kwenye akili, mawazo wala kwenye mwilini mwako bali huingia kwenye roho. Roho Mtakatifu anapoingia ndani huwa anafanya mawasiliano na roho yako. Wakati roho ya mwanadamu inapokuwa inafanya mawasiliano na roho mtakatifu hapo ndipo mtu huyo anajikuta ananena kwa lugha; kwahiyo kunena kwa lugha ni udhirisho kuwa roho ya mwanadamu ina fanya mawasiliano na Mungu. Na ndio maana moja ya udhihirisho kuwa umeokolewa ni kunena kwa lugha (Marko 16:17), kwasababu ukiokoka Roho Mtakatifu anaingia ndani yako.

Katika Biblia; kuna namna tatu ambazo watu walijazwa Roho Mtakatifu; kama ifuatavyo:

i)                   Kuomba mwenyewe:

Siku ya pentekoste, wanafunzi wa Yesu walikuwa wamekusanyika wakiwa wanaomba; (Matendo ya Mitume 2:1-7), kumbe namna ya kwanza ni kwa kuomba mwenyewe, yaani unakuwa unaomba alafu katikati ya maombi Roho Mtakatifu anakuja ndani mwako na hapo unaanza kunena kwa lugha.

ii)                Kuwekewa mikono:

Namna ya pili ya mtu kupokea Roho Mtakatifu kwenye Biblia ni kwa kuwekewa mikono, tunaona katika (Matendo ya Mitume 19:6), Paulo aliwawekea mikono, na alipowawekea wote wakanena kwa lugha, kumbe mtu anaweza kujazwa Roho Mtakatifu kwa kuwekewa mikono na mtumishi wa Mungu.

iii)              Kulisikia neno la Mungu linapohubiriwa:

Namna nyingine ni kwa kusikiliza neno la BWANA; (Matendo ya Mitume 10:44), hapa tunaona Roho Mtakatifu amewashukia watu wakati Petro alipokuwa akiongea, kumbe unaweza kupokea Roho Mtakatifu kwa kusikiliza neno la Mungu, (Ezekieli 2:2); Mungu aliposema naye Roho ikamwingia, ni kwa kusikiliza neno la Mungu.

Kuna vizuizi vinavyoweza kumzuia mtu asinene kwa lugha; Adui wakuu watatu wanaomfanya mtu asinene kwa Lugha:

i)                   Ujasiri:

Roho mtakatifu ni Roho wa ujasiri, kwa hiyo unapoomba unatakiwa uombe kwa ujasiri. Unapokosa ujasiri wakati kuomba, Roho mtakatifu hawezi kuingia (1Timotheo 1:7), Roho mtakatifu si roho wa kusitasita wala woga bali ujasiri. Mtu aweza kushindwa kunena kwa lugha kwasababu ya kukosa ujasiri.

ii)                Mapokeo:

Maarifa uliyoyapokea zamani yanaweza kukuzuia kunena kwa lugha kwasababu inawezekana kabla ya kuokoka mtu alikuwa ametokea katika dhehebu ambalo halineni kwa lugha, nalo linaweza kuwa kikwazo, (Marko 7:8), maarifa ni jambo muhimu sana kwenye maendeleo ya mtu, unapokosa maarifa sahihi ya neno la Mungu Roho Mtakatifu hawezi kuingia ndani yako.

iii)              Hofu:

hofu inaweza kukufanya ushindwe kupokea Roho Mtakatifu kwasababu ya kuogopa watu watakuonaje, unawaza ukianza kuongea maneno yale watahisije, (Waebrania 10:38) hofu ni adui mkubwa wa kunena kwa lugha kwasababu inakuzuia kujiachia mbele za Mungu.

Kunena kwa lugha ni njia mojawapo ya kufunguliwa kutoka katika vifungo vya rohoni kwasababu unaponena kwa lugha, kimsingi; roho yako inakuwa inawasiliana na Roho Mtakatifu. Na ndio maana nguvu za mtu za rohoni zinategemeana sana na muda anaotumia kunena kwa lugha; kama ukinena kwa lugha kwa saa moja basi utakuwa na upako wa saa moja. Nena kwa lugha muda wa kutosha.
