TIMING IS EVERYTHING BUT WHEN WE BELIEVE IN GOD;

Timing is everything but the problem we love so much things we do; and we live in a world that is so fast paced with everything. And the problem we expect the same from God.

Timing is everything, timing can make you happy, grumpy, success, rich and saint; the only thing which should born in our minds is that “Timing is everything, and everything has its time”.

When we learn economics, a farmer needs to know when it’s time to plant and when it’s time to harvest. An investor needs to know when it’s time to buy and when it’s time to sell. An employee needs to know when it’s time to ask for a raise and when it’s not. Timing often makes the difference between failure and success.
If you think it’s a time to speak and the other person thinks it’s a time to be silent, there could be trouble. Relationships require a proper sense of timing. This is very important to note to make relationship healthier.

How timing is applied when you’ve lost something, what I can say is that, you have to know when to keep searching and when to give up and hope it turns up later. May be in such environment we start thinking about the help of God.

It is true that Timing is everything, and everything is a matter of timing. Today as we worship God let us look beyond time to eternity, you find that all the various times are in the hands of the eternal God and unfold according to his plan. Even when you can’t understand it all, God enables you to savor the beauty of everything in its proper time and to use time to prepare for eternity.  God arranges all the various times into a wholeness that reveals the beauty of the Lord and brings blessing to his people.

As the New Testament puts it, “in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose“(Romans 8:28)

God has made everything beautiful in its time, but he never designed us to be satisfied with time. Material things, things that come and go with time are not enough to satisfy our deepest longing. These things are beautiful gifts of God, but they were never meant satisfy us. Time is an appetizer. It’s not the main meal, and it was never meant to be. Time is meant to stimulate our appetite for eternity.

Let us imagine if you go to a banquet hoping for a big meal and someone offers you just a few little treats when you arrive, how do you react? If you look from that corner you might be so upset about the shortage of food;

 But if you know that those are just appetizers that come before the main meal, your mental thinking changes because you know that the full meal is still coming.

Whatever we think or act nothing can change God’s purpose or plan. Nothing can undo what God does. As Ecclesiastes puts it, “I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.“

As Psalm 31:15 says Instead of rebelling against the Lord, rejoice that your times are in his hands

According to our human nature it is not easy to wait. What we always want and we want it to become reality as quickly as possible. When we have a problem we think we have to do something about it right away. 

We don't want to have to wait. We know that God's timing is perfect, but we can't see His timing. We can only see our point of view. Sometimes we think God didn't hear us. Lam 3:25 
"The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him."

human being see that God has a much slow way of doing things, but how often people have got married to a wrong person just because they could not wait for God’s choice instead the quick haste and ignorance and the disregard of God’s timing and choice landed married couples in a mess

Let us acknowledge Gods timing in our lives and proclaim that timing is everything but when we have God’s blessing. Amen

HAPPINESS COMES FROM YOU


Groucho Marx says that, Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I am, not an events, have the power to make my self happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

Sometimes life gets a little rough, and we all need a bit of joy in our lives. God did not mean for us to be sad or serious all the time. He tells us to get out and have a little fun.
Psalm 118:24 - "This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. "
 Proverbs 15:13 - "A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit."
Proverbs 17:22 - "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Ecclesiastes 3:12
I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live.

LEO NI SIKU YA AKINA BABA ( Father’s Day)

`
Mzee Alois Turuka
Sherehe ya akina Baba kihistoria ni siku ya kumshukuru Mungu kuwa hata baba amejaliwa uwezo mkubwa wamalezi kama kiongozi wa nyumba. Ni wakati shakinifu wa  kutafakari  na kusherekea wajibu wa baba ndani ya familia. Ni wakati wa kumshukuru Mungu  kwa kutujalia mzazi.
                             Mzee Alois


                            Babu Mlowe


Ni dhahiri kwamba Mungu ndiye aliyeleta wazo la familia. Basi, ni halali kutazamia kwamba atatupa maelekezo jinsi familia zinavyotakiwa kuishi na kutuonya juu ya matatizo yanayoweza kuangamiza au kuharibu familia.

                             Mzee Peter Myamba

Mungu amepanga mume awe kichwa cha familia. Mungu amewaita waume kupenda, kulinda, kutimiza mahitaji na kuongoza familia zao kama kichwa. Bibilia inatukumbusha kuwa; Enyi waume, wapendeni wake zetu kama Kristo naye alivyolipenda Kanisa, akajitoa kwa ajili yake… Vivyo hivyo imewapasa waume nao kuwapenda wake zao kama miili yao wenyewe. Ampendaye mkewe hujipenda mwenyewe, maana hakuna mtu anayeuchukia mwili wake popote; bali huulisha na kuutunza kama Kristo naye anavyolitendea Kanisa. Kwa kuwa tu viungo vya mwili wake. Lakini kila mtu ampende mke wake kama nafsi yake mwenyewe; wala mke asikose kumstahi mumewe (Waefeso 5:25, 28-30, 33).
                    Baba Anna ( Joseph Turuka)

                         
Upendo huu una maana gani  na kwa nini ufanyike? Kama Baba atafanya hivyo atakuwa anatimizia mahitaji yake, atamtunza, atamheshimu, atamsaidia, atamtia moyo, na atatumia muda kuwa naye.
                    Baba Rose ( Mr. Emmanuel Turuka)
                          
Je katika siku hii ya leo watoto wajibu wake nini kwa baba; Enyi watoto, watiini wazazi  na Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako; amri hii ndiyo amri ya kwanza yenye ahadi, Upate heri, ukae siku nyingi katika dunia (Waefeso 6:1-3).
            Baba Grace ( Mr. Alex Rumanyika)
          
Baba anatakiwa  kutowachokoze watoto wao; bali waleeni katika adabu na maonyo ya Bwana (Waefeso 6:4). Kwa kweli baba wajibu wake ni wajibu kuwalea watoto wake katika adabu na maonyo ya Bwana

                    Baba Eneke ( Dr. Frank Mwakasisi)

Bibilia inatukumbusha kuwa mtoto asiyetiwa nidhamu atakapokuwa mtu mzima atakuwa na tabia usiyompendeza Mungu. Watoto wanapaswa kutiwa nidhamu wakati wowote wanapoacha kwa makusudi kutii sheria halali zilizowekwa na wazazi wao. Watoto wasiadhibiwe kwa makosa au kutowajibika kwa sababu ya utoto. Lakini, watakiwe kukabiliana na matokeo ya makosa yao na kutowajibika kwao, na kwa njia hiyo kuwasaidia kujiandaa kwa ajili ya uhalisi wa maisha ya utu uzima.
                     Baba Brian (Mr. George Kaabuka)

Watoto wadogo wanapaswa kuadhibiwa kwa kiboko, kama Neno la Mungu linavyofundisha.Kuchapa kiboko kusilete madhara kimwili, ila kusababishe maumivu ya kutosha kumfanya mtoto yule asiyetii kulia kwa muda kidogo. Kwa njia hiyo, mtoto atajifunza kuunganisha uchungu na kutokutii. Hata Biblia inaunga mkono hilo.
Yeye asiyetumia fimbo yake humchukia mwanawe; bali yeye ampendaye humrudi mapema. … Ujinga umefungwa ndani ya moyo wa mtoto; lakini fimbo ya adhabu itaufukuzia mbali. … Usimnyime mtoto wako mapigo; maana ukimpiga kwa fimbo hatakufa. Utampiga kwa fimbo, na kumwokoa nafasi yake na Kuzimu. … Fimbo na maonyo hutia hekima; bali mwana aliyeachiliwa humwaibisha mamaye (Mithali 13:24; 22:15; 23:13-14; 29:15).
Lakini ikumbukwe kuwa ni wajibu wa baba, Baada ya kiboko, mtoto anapaswa kukumbatiwa na kuhakikishiwa upendo wa mzazi aliyemchapa. kama tunavyosoma katika Mithali 22:6, kwamba: “Mlee mtoto katika njia impasayo, naye hataiacha, hata atakapokuwa mzee”
      Baba Vivian Wende (mr.Rogathe Sarwatt)

 Kwa hiyo leo tunavoshereke siku ya akina baba tunajifunza sifa kubwa moja kuwa Baba, “awe mwenye kuisimamia nyumba yake vema” (1Timo. 3:4). Mahusiano yake na familia yake ni kipimo cha uwezo wake kufanya huduma. Kwa kutekeleza hilo tutaweza kuungana hata na wale
     Mchungaji Myamba mmmm na wewe ni Baba?
watoto wengine ambao huwawia vigumu kuifanya siku hii kuwa ya furaha katika kusherekea,kwani wameshajenga chuki na baba kwa sababu yeyote ya kutoelewana kimalezi; kwahiyo Pengine cha kuwashauri tu wazazi wetu akina baba wajitaidi kuleta furaha ndani ya familia kwani baba ukiweza kuitumia furaha kama kielezo cha malezi ndani ya familia ni ukweli ambao haufichiki kuwa watoto watakuwa katika malezi ya upendo na heshima daima.
                               Mr. Kagumba
Nayarudia haya kwa msisitizo:
·        Je bibilia inatufundisha nini kuhusu umuhimu wa baba ndani ya familia Waefeso 6:1-3 

·        Tukifanikiwa kuisherekea sherehe hi inaonyesha wazi kuwa  kama   Kutoka; 20:12  kutambua wajibu wa baba inammainisha upendo wetu kwao na heshima kwao ndio wajibu ambao Mungu ametuagiza kuufanya sisi kama watoto ndani ya familia zetu na tutapata Baraka ya kuweza kuishi maisha marefu ambayo yatajaa furaha na amani.




   ·        Bibilia inawakumbusha wazazi wetu kuwa watufunze katika njia itupasayo kwenda nasi tukiwa wazee hatutaacha njia hiyo kamwe. 


                      Dr. Mwalimu Kassim



  • Akina Baba tunatakiwa tuwe wacheshi katika   familiazetukwani uchesi ni zawadi nzuri ya ukuaji wa familia bora
