Jesus Christ is the only solution

When everything looks dark and bad in life what do you do?

Personally I will go to the bible. Let me share some encouraging bible verse today.   

The bible say in Mat 11:28  "Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Mat 11:29  All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves.

Mat 11:30  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

 Christ having signified, that the knowledge of God, and the mysteries of grace, are only to be come at through him; and that he has all things relating to the peace, comfort, happiness, and salvation of men in his hands, kindly invites and encourages souls to come unto him for the same: by which is meant, not a local coming, or a coming to hear him preach; for so his hearers, to whom he more immediately directed his speech, were come already; and many of them did, as multitudes may, and do, in this sense, come to Christ, who never knew him, nor receive any spiritual benefit by him: nor is it a bare coming under the ordinances of Christ, submission to baptism, or an attendance at the Lord's supper, the latter of which was not yet instituted; and both may be performed by men, who are not yet come to Christ: but it is to be understood of believing in Christ, the going of the soul to him, in the exercise of grace on him, of desire after him, love to him, faith and hope in him: believing in Christ, and coming to him, are terms synonymous, Joh_6:35. Those who come to Christ aright, come as sinners, to a full, suitable, able, and willing Saviour; venture their souls upon him, and trust in him for righteousness, life, and salvation, which they are encouraged to do, by this kind invitation; which shows his willingness to save, and his readiness to give relief to distressed minds. The persons invited, are not "all" the individuals of mankind, but with a restriction,

Jesus Christ is the only solution.

Once David was greatly distressed, partly for the loss of his two wives, and partly because of the mutiny and murmuring of his men:

 because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; as well as David; and they were very desirous of recovering them if possible, and of taking vengeance on those who had carried them captive:

but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God; took all patiently, and exercised faith on his God; he encouraged himself in the power and providence of God; in the promises of God, and his faithfulness in keeping them; in a view of his covenant relation to God; in remembrance of the grace, mercy, and goodness of God, and his former experiences of it; hoping and believing that God would appear for him in some way or another, and work salvation for him. The Tar gum is, “he strengthened himself in the Word of the Lord his God;’ in Christ the Word of God, and in the power of his might, and in the grace that is in him, Eph_6:10.

1Sa 30:6 David was in a difficult position because the troops talked about stoning him, for they were all very bitter over the loss of their sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.

 when we strengthen our selves in the lord and if we have faith in the lord, God will take all responsiblity ,Amen

Having the morning gathering on the top of Harar Mountain

We started walk early morning at six to the top of harar mountain, to be honest we have not climbed to the top but we tried to see whole city from the place we are.  It was amazing time , we prayed about the city of harar and for the people of harar , we really proclaimed the goodness of God through our prayer, we believed that God heard our prayer and he will bring the peace and blessing for the harar people, we also prayed about our church, to be the church that send missionaries, the church that see a lot of miracles and sign .Amen .In the afternoon we had the best house church in Adugna house and Mohammed house, it was amazing. Glory to God.  

The lord is my light and my salva
  My God delivers and rescues, And He work signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, Daniel 6=27

After great Sunday I rested Monday and we started the kingdom work with the best team in harar , Tuesday we had bible school and follow up, in the follow up me and my best brother and co-worker Erik was with me, also five people were with us too, three of them are new people not baptized, we had follow up teaching about salvation and baptism , after the teaching we invited them for baptism, of course everyone was okay but we just want to teach little more with two of them. Today Wednesday, 9-6-2010 at 12=30 named called Tekaligna get baptized, Glory to God.     

Who are the real missionaries and the ministers of living God?
                             (This means, who is Paul nowadays?)                                                              

For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.  

 1Co 9:20  To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law;

1Co 9:21  to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Messiah), that I might win those who are without law.

1Co 9:22  To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.

1Co 9:23  Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.

1Co 9:24  Don't you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.

1Co 9:25  Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

 1Co  9:26  I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air,

   1Co 9:27 but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any   means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

When I read this bible verse, I have learned about real minister of God and about real missionaries, as it is mentioned above about Paul, he can do all things for the sake of Gospel. Even he was ready to change his personality. I really want to be like Paul and I wish to see those kinds of Missionaries, the missionaries that deny their culture, their personality, their living style, their dressing style, without complaining and grumbling with full of joy to gain some people for Jesus. Wow that is cool, God will reward those kinds’ Missionaries and ministers. God help us to leave for the others and to die for the others     

In our church the house churches is the heart of the church or it is like back bone, we have four house churches now days soon we will open two more, yesterday we had the best house church in Mohammed house and Adugna house, almost many of our church members were there. Also today we had two house churches in melese house and in the church the girls program, both places we had amazing time. In melse house we were six people. We were laughing a lot, eating a lot, sharing the word of God and praying a lot, full of joy.

In the girls meeting also they were five people together , they had the best time by eating, laughing, sharing the word of God and praying a lot…………………………it is fascinating .one new girl was there I met her when they finished she was very happy , she felt the family feeling.

We are looking forward the church celebration tomorrow; Mohammed will preach the Gospel of Jesus. I believe it will be great meeting, we will see when the people get saved and when the people rejoice in the Holy Spirit. Hallelujaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Thanks to be living God.         

Being jealous

I do not know why but I got something new inside of me, being jealous of kids, maybe, I think I like kids very much that why am jealous when I see kids and I start to wish to have one or two or three or four nice kid

Going good                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Teaching in the bible school full bible survey new and old testament , it was amazing yesterday many of them knew the order of the bible and the main point of each book of old testament. Some of them specially two of bible school students they already started to pronounce the order of all Old Testament book before I finished the  lessen. It is fascinating. Today I am going to teach them New Testament survey, it will be good.

Also today we are fasting for our personal relationship with God, God spoken to us to examine our self and to look our self, so we are praying and fasting, we also pray for the church and for the member of the church.
