The Church With Testimony

Three words.

These are words that labour to explain who God is.
These words Carry the whole image of God.

These are:
1. Holy
2. Righteousness
3. Faithful

Today let's consider HOLY

Holiness,
I once though that holiness meant to have no sins, but it's not true

What is sin?
Is sin not breaking the law of God? And the law of God is his words that he speaks.
In short knowing God is living by the words he said.

One of the law says THOU SHALL NOT KILL .
now if Killing is breaking the law, does that makes God above the law.
All am asking is simple? How can God gives us law but himself breaks that law. And then when we break that same law he punish us.

Let me show you what I mean
Genesis 38:8-10 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
And God Killed Onan and Er his brother the sons of Judah.

Now if God is holy it means he is with no sin. But murder is a sin and God Killed Onan.

Therefore sin is not about breaking the law, but sin is intentions of breaking the law.

In our case Onan did intentionally refused to raise his brother's name but also committed fornication and adultery. In which this was his sin. Now God killed him for this.

Therefore holiness is not only distancing yourself from sins, but also putting your minds away from sins.

Jesus told us something in

Matthew 5:27-28 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

This verse means if all you think is thinking of s*x when you see a woman, it's only the opportunity you don't have. If you had an opportunity you would have committed adultery, and for this reason you're already an adulterer.

Therefore holiness is not imagining evil, and also hating wickedness.

Same in all law.
Therefore
not imagining to steal or to fornicate or witchcraft, or murder, or envy.

But it doesn't mean that that you haven't stolen at all or committed fornication or not had gone to idolatry. If you have done one among these abomination, Jesus is calling you and willing to give you mercy, for He understand it was not your intention to do these things but was done in ignorance or in deceit. For understanding comes from him.

That's why we're told
1 Peter 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Holiness is distancing yourself from sin. Holiness is that reason that stops you from sinning. But if you're breaking the law for the sake of Godliness then mercy will be upon you for mercy is forgiveness of sins. Remember
God is also faithful and righteous

God's way

It's one of mystery that is greatly hidden from us. In short God's way is one of majorly hidden secrets.

Let's start here.
Most of people in Society don't believe in God. Or higher power,
But if you consider carefully the structure of world you'll notice that the whole world is worshipping.

For people in India they worship god Laxmi in an image of monkey or something close to that.

For a person in Iran he strongly believe in Allah

Someone in Mexico is a Catholic,

Someone in Japan believes in Buddha or something close to those teaching.

In our homeland for example in Kikuyu our ancestors believed in 'Mwene nyaga'
Maasai had enkai
Luhya had mulungu
Luos had .....

But let's dig deep.

In Kikuyu tribe, there was once a great seer his name 'mugo wa kibiru' he's famously known for his 21 prophesies.

These prophesies have been passed down to us. But my question is?

By whose or which wisdom or power did he know the Future.

Now Mugo told us that white man was to come, and he did came, but in these times people would worship God and call him by name 'Mwene nyaga'

The point am trying to make here is that this God we called Mwene nyaga' who inspired 'mugo wa kibiru' knew that someone is being brought either God bigger than him or Himself in another form. For why Call him Our God if he's not able to protect us, or was Jesus bigger God than 'Mwene nyaga'

Therefore Introduction of Jesus Christ to our Kikuyu people was spiritual, it was something that had been planned either buy Mwene nyaga' himself or A bigger God than him who is Jesus Christ.

But about acceptance is another ground we should consider, because when we were introduced to Jesus Christ, for example my grandfather Solomon gichatha was one of pioneers who accepted Christianity and started churches, for example my parish ACK mananga church is 100 years old. Therefore did not only Jesus conquer physical realm but also our spirit for I was born when my grandfather had already died, Yet Am preaching same Jesus Christ. My question is if my grandfather was brainwashed And my brain is washed too by influence of Jesus Christ, why not call him bigger God then.

For this reason Jesus Chris became my God.

Christianity came through slavery,

Now you may look this from point of exploitation, but you cannot fathom the real power hidden inside,

Consider carefully,
Roman empire had just fallen, and British aristocrat ruled the world. But the whole empire of British empire was laid upon corruption, and murder, and deceit and idol worshipping. Just opposite what the bible say. And this is controversy we have in our society, that those brought bible to us live different from the bible.

Yes!
This is one of God's way. His mystery is hidden, now God has a special target he focuses on, this group is called the "dispersed" of his children for he promised himself he will gather them from four corners of the earth.

Jesus Christ is not for everybody, but for few who are called by his name.

The only way you can know Jesus Christ is only by himself revealing himself to you. And the only way he reveal himself to you is by Giving you a desire to know him, and when that desire arise on you then you start by reading the bible, and when you read the bible you agree with the bible because this desire are not by themselves but by holy spirit.

When you have enough conviction then you confess that Jesus Christ is God. This is truth.

When you make this confessions then you're sealed by a crown of salvation and you're given hope, a hope of eternity, That is to say to live in holiness, for the promise of this covenant say in Corinthians 6: that no adulterer, or fornicators or a thief or idolatrous or murderers etc shall inherit the eternity.

Therefore, salvation is not words,, but the way of living. Therefore if Jesus is your God too then the law is in forefront, for in law you're confirmed obedience to God. That is all what matters obedience to God.

What can we say?

Some atheist says there is no God. But we mock them for their follies, because I know Am better than atheism for I don't say there is God without proof, but he says there is no God for he is denied the spirit.

But me and you we're given the spirit, same spirit who empowered 'mugo wa kibiru' same spirit is giving you hope, hope for eternity, the only labour you have is to obey the commandments of our lord Jesus Christ

Mathew 5, 6and 7 contains the law and completes the law.

Jesus is the only way to eternity. But if your potion is fire and worms then am sorry there is nothing I can do.
