Genesis 12

Now the Lord had said to Abram. Get out of your country, from your kindred, and from your fathers house, to a land which I will show you. I will make u a great nation, I will bless you. And make your name great. I will bless those who bless you and curse him who curses you and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. It means that we are called into salvation. Where we have to let go all the evil ways, worshiping idols which our fathers did,. Abram was a great man of God. The Lord did speak to him, just the way he is speaking to us, but v4 says that he took his brother lot, wife, servants whom I am sure carried there small gods. v7 the Bible says that he was just shown the promised land. Why because he had gone against what God said. Then he passed thru it and headed to Egypt. because of famine.. you see disobeying God leads to famine , problems which can make people go back to older ways. Finally when he separated with lot, it is then that the Lord shown him the land.

Genesis 13, 14

And the lord said to Abram after Lot had separated from him. Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are.

Genesis 15

I give you all the Land..it means that we have to make sure that we are following the Lords direction s if we want blessings.. In other words, we have to be faithful, we have to shun all the evil ways that our father, families were doing. We have to be born again to be Saved.. through Jesus blood.. amen. Am glad we were blessed. The widows and orphans were prayed for.

Verse Acts 28.3
Black Momba Snake

Black Momba Snake

But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand they said that Paul was a murderer and that justice was not going to let him live. But he shook off the snake into the fire and suffered no harm.

God has been with us just the way he was with Paul.

SNAKE ATTACKS

10805076_735197896556864_213211231_nThis area is mostly covered with bushes and wild animals and especially snakes seek hiding places in our cracked walls and floor. More so they pursue frogs which hide behind water pots called Dapi in Luo. There have been many incidences where I just woke up and found a snake under my bed or entering through the roof. The sad thing about it is that our kids sleep on the floor. And without God’s protection we fear for the lives. To make it worse, there are no anti-venom drugs at the nearest health centres, and sometimes even at the District hospital 15km away. In the last 3 years 2 people died from snake bites while over 5 were treated by a local herbalist called Miyere. He is the one person the community relys on.

Distribution of Relief Food

Today I witness the distribution of Relief food from the governor’s office following persistent drought which had affected the crop production in the area for two seasons. I am happy that at least some of my church members are getting the share of 1kg of dry maize. The pictures are below. It will push them today. Praise the lord. This shows how the situation is here. people are going hungry, women and children most affect.

Deutronomy 15:11

For the poor shall never cease out of the land , there for I command you saying you shall open the hand wide unto thy brother, to the poor and the needy in thy land.

Water for Smearing MudToday I went to work for a friend. I was fetching that water and helping smear a mud house. In the process I preached to a young boy whom we were working with: the verse…

Isaiah 55.6

Seek the Lord, while their is still time. He asked me time 4 what. I told him that everybody should confess that Christ is Lord.

Romans 10.8.

And we don’t know when we might die. Later, I slipped on mud and hit my back, twas a bit painful, but am glad the Lord was with me.

Dirty Water

The colour is brown dirty water. We are living on dirty water that carries feces of all types of animals including humans, praying that one day we would get borehole or houses with iron sheet roofs and storage tanks to tap rain water, or possibly a portable water distiller machines.
