Kenya

Profile Information:

Gender: Male
Country (not County): Kenya
Occupation:: Evangelist, motivational speaker and HR & Legal Co-ordinator
I'm here to...: Link-up and fellowship with all those who worship God in truth and in spirit...to laugh with those who are laughing and to cry with those who are crying and to not only share their pain, but try to lessen it for them in Christ Jesus!
Interests:: I like everything in life knowing that all that happens is God's will for me and that He will always act for my utmost good according to His divine plan. Many things puzzle me...yes...but nothing takes my happiness out of my hands for I know that Jehovah God is in control. Nothing can ever take the truth He has laid out in Romans8:28 from my heart; ALL THINGS WORK OUT FOR MY GOOD. How so wonderful!!!
I'm passionate about...: Making millions of disciples and winning souls for God! I glory in selflessness for He was selfless...He lived for others and though the owner and originator of all, He chose to live a poor man's life. In the same footsteps, I attach very little importance to material things (which are at best only momentary) and have taught my family to aspire for the secret joy derived from giving. We therefore own so little except the very basic!
My story with God: He is the starter and finisher of my faith through His glorious and wonderful Son Jesus Christ. After spending considerable time chasing the vanities of this world, I have come to accept the fact that there is no thrill like knowing and living for Christ. I was once a Catholic of Catholics...and if there is any one thing I know know for sure, it is that CATHOLISM (AND "RELIGIOSITY AS A WHOLE)" IS THE ONE MOST DANGEROUS weapons satan is using to divide the sheep and lead masses to their eternal damnation. I let anyone who would care to listen know this...those people don't worship Jehovah God the way He has decreed to be worshipped! Let all who have ears listen to what the spirit of the Lord is saying!
Other stuff about me:: I am what one may comfortably label "everyone's servant" and a man for all seasons. I go out of my way to comfort all...more so ladies, who life has treated cruelly, more often than not....in the hands of unconverted men. I cry daily when I see the attrocities meted out on innocent children...even by those closest to them. I am mad about children...I just love kids and spend most of my time with them. I strive daily to be a pillar in prayer...and although I fail repeatedly, I know that Christ looks down on me from His high seat and count all my pitiable struggles for righteousness. I cherish prayers for therein lies my (and yours too) only victory over life's challenges! I adorn daily God's Spiritual armour before I step out as outlined in Ephesians 6:11. It is His WAR...we can only win it through HIS ARMOUR...not our pitiable efforts. He won it already for us, hallelujah!!! Worshiping the Lord in truth and spirit is fun...and truly enjoyable!!! I invite all to give Christ their all. You will never regret the effort.

Hi Brother, Maurene told me that you had an exciting time last week and flew for the first time. My first time flying was nice on a DC10 which was a big plane, but I have never flown on a small plane and think it would be much more intence. My ears would plug up and I got air sick on a big plane , I hate to see how I would react on a small plane. lol
Well I hope you had a good trip.

It is really quiet on line today because everyone is busy travelling and getting ready for thanksgiving here in the US. I am kind of glad so I can leave some notes for all my old friends. I am so thankful for the gas and oil prices dropping because of the onset of winter here. The price is more than half from last August. It is hard to discribe money to others online but I think you can get what I am saying. If the price had stayed high it would have cost as much as some make in a month to heat their homes. I thank God for this so much.

I hope all is going well with your church and your family. I tell many of my friends about you and your wonderful heart for the Lord. I have to say that one thing I am thankful for this year is meeting you. You have enriched my life and my faith. Maureen and myself both said we know where would go to church if we lived in Kenya.

So brother just keep planting seeds and you will soon recieve a harvest of souls. God smiles when He thinks about you and your family. God bless you friend
In the love of Jesus

Hi Brother, it has made my thanksgiving to hear from you! I spent the day with my brother and his family. He is home but will be bed ridden for the next 3 months due to a wound from sitting to much in his wheel chair and they had to cut a huge hole in his thigh to remove the infection. He has recovered from pneumonia. My sister is also recovered and back home,
I am thankful that they both received Jesus in the last year. My nephew max also received the Lord.
Yes I have also had to face loss in my family, but the 3 of them are all with the Lord and I shall see them again. I am most thankful for god leading to the net and meeting wonderful people like yourself who have enriched my life. I consider you all as just an extension of my local church. I actually talk more to you all than my own church because I am here every day. I am a better Christian because of my interactions here. I am much more world conscience than I use to be.
This net has also given me the opportunity to speak into the lives of those in South Africa which I have been praying for, for many years. God has given me the privilege to strengthen the brethren throughout the world also. So I am thankful and praise and worship the Lord for all these things.
I will talk to you soon. Please know that you are truly are a great man of God in my eyes. Know that as you do your ministry that God has called you to do, that great will be your reward in Heaven. God does not forget your acts of love and kindness that you show forth in his name.
In the love of Jesus

ARE YOU PLEASING PEOPLE OR ARE YOU PLEASING GOD?

Do you realize that ucountable numbers of people are anxious to
Please the Crowd instead of God?

We all know that there are people who are "born dictators" and others are "attention seekers"...

When in a position of authority they do not consider anyone's feelings... Some Governments strive to please the people despite the millions who are hurt in the process... Others cause pain and suffering because of obstinacy and a self-centred attitude, and then you realise that this is because they do not know God.
Pontius Pilate wanted to please the people. So he freed Barabbas
for them. And Pilate told the soldiers to beat Jesus with
whips. Then Pilate gave Jesus to the soldiers to be killed on
a cross. Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent and yet he ignored this fact because he was trying to please the people!

-- Mark 15:15 (ERV)

Pilate knows Jesus is innocent, yet gives in totally to the wishes of
the mob -- he first has Jesus scourged ("flogged with a lead-tipped
whip") and then turns Jesus over to be crucified. Why does he do it?
Pilate has to keep Rome happy by maintaining order. To maintain order,
Pilate has to appease the crowd. Even though he has already pronounced
Jesus "not guilty" of any crime, Pilate has the final say. In his mind,
his word is law. In the eyes of the crowd, Pilate's word is law. Jesus,
however, knows that Pilate has no power to act, rule, or enforce his
verdict apart from God's granting him that power. Pilate is a puppet
who cannot recognize that he acts in concert with the crowd's will,
Rome's desire, and God's plan. Jesus is allowed to be crucified -- both
by Pilate, to appease the crowd which is being manipulated by the
religious leaders, and also by God, who is using this horrifying event
to save the world. If God can bring such a great redemption out of such
an unfair injustice, imagine what he can do with our suffering for his
sake.
Can any one of us imagine what it must take to sacrifice your child! I cannot!

TODAY'S PRAYER:
O God, you are the Almighty, the one in control even when I cannot see
Your control. Help me to understand that you will redeem every
injustice brought upon your people at your chosen time. Give me the
faith and strength to endure such times and the courage to live my life
in the hope that even if the scales of justice are not balanced in my
lifetime, they will be at the end of time. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

I feel like shouting too Brother! Our God is awesome! I have such peace today in my soul.

I have a resolve like the 3 hebrew children in that I know my God can do anything, and even if He doesn't, it makes no difference because I will never bow to defeat and give up to discouragement.

I receive the word you have sent as from the Lord.
God started the work and He will finish it.

Bless you man of God in all you do, may the overflowing joy of the Lord be your strength.

I remember last summer the Holy spirit fell on your church at the same time as ours, so my expectations are that God is about to send another wave of the Spirits cleancing, delivering, santifying, renewing, and healing power upon the Church throught the world.
In the love of jesus
Bob

Collin Raye - What I Need

I knew all the answers
The way my life should go
And when I used to say my prayers
I would tell God so
It seemed He wasn't listening
I thought He didn't care
But lookin' back
It's plain to see
He was always there

'Cause I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need

I'm not sayin' that it's easy
Or that it doesn't hurt
When nothing seems to go my way
Nothing seems to work
These days I'm getting better
At goin' with the flow
Accepting that sometimes the answer
To a prayer is no

'Cause I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need

Every time I've had a door slammed in my face
In time a better one was opened in its place

I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need

Oh I don't always get what I want
I get what I need

Merry Christmas and a happy new year,in this season i believe all we can do is to rejoice in his glory for he's been a good God and as we take a review of the year we need to start by taking account of the prayers and prophetic words that we've spoken over our lives.
What did the steward of God speak at the beggining of the year 2008 that has not been fulfilled and ask ourselves where we missed the mark for in Jos 1:6 which to me is this generations mission statement when we continue in our pursuit of God and fulfilling the word "Men ought to pray" i believe we will have a powerful year 2009 only if we stand on his word plus the prophetic words that have been spoken to us.

God bless you.

It is a surprise and happiness for me to find your comment on my page. Because you seem like disappearing farther away each day. I will always pray for WAYAN Salvation from the Lord.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year again dearest brother and hope you can find time to be with me and us like before. You are always welcome and God bless you abundantly always.

Hello brateng ,long time no talk .Much has been happening in my life,I have been away, on and off for last 5 months driving big mining trucks and have since been laid off because of world finance collapse and drop in copper prices ,so am back shearing again .My wife has left me now ,(another man is involved)so reconcilliation is doubtful ,maybe now the trials she has she may see why I always rely on Jesus to pull me through ,I still pray for her ,that she will recieve him.God often makes our roads a little rough so he can see how we go about smoothing them out,with my faith I know I can weather this storm,and I pray that my children can weather it as well. Any ways it is good to be able to write back to you again and I trust your life is going good for you ,be good to hear back soon Gods speed,your brother in Christ, Andrew.

We are waiting impatiently for your return.... You are most welcome and God bless you and your family and your ministry abundantly always.

Hello my dearest bother ,Bernhard,I do hope this finds you well .Just a short note to say that our Spirit is still strong between us even though we dont seem to correspond that often now .I still often think of you because you are such a strong inspiration to me,if I had half your faith ,I would be so much more blessed.My heart cries out to The Lord to find a partner with whom I can share my love of Christ with,I have met a girl who is such a treasure for me ,but for so many reasons I feel she deserves someone so much better,I know that in Gods time and not mine He will do what is best for me , but I pray that if this sweet girl is not destined for me that God will watch out for her and that she finds the best man she so richly deserves.I am sorry for giving you my troubles but it is just good to let someone else as well as Jesus , know what I am feeling now.Your bro in Christ Andrew ,Gods speed.

It is my pleasure to see you online more now. Yes, we are blessed mightily by the Lord. I am still on my knees for my own big family too, even for Wayan who is still moslem till now. My own family needs salvation right away, because I believe that maranatha is coming soon now. My heart is still breaking for their contion, even for Thomas. Please pray for my family that have to live a holy way. Please keep in touch with us All here in this site to grow deeper and stronger in Jesus Christ. You are always welcome and God bless you abundantly always in everything.

My daughters are all ok, except WAYAN who is still a moslem. You know it breaks my heart though I say nothing to Dyana and Wayan. Tiberias Church is growing stronger and many church buildings are built up in more areas. Pray your ministry doing well and stronger. Praise the Lord for everything. Every where satan tries to destroy the children of God. We have to fight them all together brother. Have prayed for Nienie. Jesus is so dependable and He is the Best Provider. Praise the Lord.

Brother, truely that was a beautiful response to my blog. Thank you.
This scripture seems to be comming to me from various angles this very month, how interesting.
I usually do not back out of my commitments and decisions, but I am flexible enough to heed my Fathers desires. so I will continue to seek him in this matter and set about doing things in the order Fatehr designed under such struggles.
Dependant on the results is wether i wipe the dust off my feet or remain.

Be blessed brother and you may contact me through facebook if you so desire. maggie hancox
