WALK AND WORK WITH GOD

DEVOTION-DAY 5

MUNGU KWANZA

·         Kumjua Mungu

·         Kumjua Mungu kunahitaji kufanya maamuzi na kujikana then kuwa na effort katika kumjua (Kusoma neno, kuomba)

·         Kumjua Mungu kuna gharama ya kulipa

·         Neno ndio pekee hujua mawazo yaliyo ndani ya mtu kwa hiyo prayer point ya kwanza ya mtu ni NENO.

·         Neno la Mungu ni kila kitu, ukilipa heshima haliwezi kukuacha kama ulivyo. Soma, andika, jifunze sana na ulitafakari na kuliweka sana moyoni.

·         Mungu ana njia nyingi sana za kukutatulia tatizo moja so usije ukamkariri Mungu.

·         Na ukiwa unafanya kazi na Mungu experience is not enough.

·         Tembea na Mungu

·         Ukishamjua Mungu hapo ndipo utaweza kutembea na Mungu.

·         Kutembea naye ni kuwa na ushirika nay eye, Yeye ndani yako na wewe ndani yako

·         Fanya kazi na Mungu

·         Baada ya kuwa na ushirika naye ukiwa unamjua vyema hapo ndipo unaweza fanya nae kazi

·         Faidika kwa kuwa na Mungu

·         Hapa Mungu atakutukuza, utafaidika kwa kuwa na Mungu kwenye maisha yako. Mf. Henoko alitembea na Mungu na alifaidika naye.

·         Ukitembea na Mungu huwezi aibika kamwe na ukitaka kuona umuhimu wa kutembea na Mungu ili ufaidike naye fanya kosa au kosea halafu uone.

The journey of the children of Israel through the wilderness.

Deuteronomy 1:1-2

' THESE ARE the words which Moses spoke to all Israel [still] on the [east] side of the Jordan [River] in the wilderness, in the Arabah [the deep valley running north and south from the eastern arm of the Red Sea to beyond the Dead Sea], over near Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab. It is [only] eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea [on Canaan's border; yet Israel took forty years to get beyond it].'

·       Wote waliokuwa wakimnung’unikia Mungu hawakufikishwa kaanani.
