Ukombozi ambao Yesu alikuja Kutupatia (Tumewekwa huru mbali na Nguvu za Giza)

Mchungaji Carlos Kirimbai

I Yohana 3: 8b

8b Kwa kusudi hili Mwana wa Mungu alidhihirishwa, ili azivunje kazi za Ibilisi.

Swali la kujiuliza hapa, je alidhihirishwa? Kama jibu ni ndiyo basi kazi za ibilisi zimevunjwa kama ni hapana basi hazijavunjwa na haziwezi kuvunjwa. Lakini jibu la swali ni ndiyo. Mwana wa Mungu amedhihirishwa kwa hiyo kazi za Ibilisi zimevunjwa sio zitavunjwa. Zimeshavunjwa na mpaka hili likuingie kwenye ufahamu wako itaonekana kama vile hazijavunjwa. Hupati shida kwa sababu hazijavunjwa unapata shida kwa sababu hii kweli hujaijua maana sharti ni kweli tu unayoijua ndiyo inayokuweka huru. Usipojua kuwa upo huru tayari utaendelea kusumbuliwa na vifungo japo kwa kweli upo huru.

Kuna maneno ya ajabu sana ambayo Paulo anawaandikia Wagalatia:

Wagalatia 4: 1 - 7.

1Lakini nasema ya kuwa mrithi, wakati wote awapo mtoto, hana tofauti na mtumwa, angawa ni bwana wa yote; 2bali yu chini ya mawakili na watunzaji, hata wakati uliokwisha kuamriwa na baba. 3Kadhalika na sisi, tulipokuwa watoto, tulikuwa tukitumikishwa na kawaida za kwanza za dunia. 4Hata ulipowadia utimilifu wa wakati, Mungu alimtuma Mwanawe ambaye amezaliwa na mwanamke, amezaliwa chini ya sheria, 5kusudi awakomboe hao waliokuwa chini ya sheria, ili sisi tupate kupokea hali ya kuwa wana. 6Na kwa kuwa ninyi mmekuwa wana, Mungu alimtuma Roho wa Mwanawe mioyoni mwetu, aliaye, Aba, yaani, Baba. 7Kama ni hivyo, wewe si mtumwa tena bali u mwana; na kama u mwana, basi, u mrithi kwa Mungu.

Mimi na wewe kama watoto wa Mungu ni warithi sawasawa na ahadi za Mungu ila tukiendelea katika hali ya utoto hatutaonekana kuwa tofauti na watumwa japo ni bwana wa yote. Kazi ya mawakili na watunzaji ni kutufundisha kweli za neno la Mungu ambazo ndizo zinatufanya tukue katika ufahamu wetu wa Mungu na kile alichofanya kwa ajili yetu katika Kristo Yesu na kwa kadiri tunavyokua ndivyo tunavyozidi kuwekwa huru na kutembea katika ule uhuru ambao Kristo alitulipia pale msalabani.

Kutoka 23: 28 - 30.

28 Nami nitapeleka mavu mbele yako, watakaomfukuza Mhivi, na Mkanaani, na Mhiti, watoke mbele yako. 29 Sitawafukuza mbele yako katika mwaka mmoja; nchi isiwe ukiwa, na wanyama wa bara wakaongezeka kukusumbua. 30 Nitawafukuza kidogo kidogo mbele yako, hata utakapoongezeka wewe, na kuirithi hiyo nchi.

Tunaona katika mfano huu kuwa Mungu aliwaondoa maadui mbele zao kwa kadiri wao walivyokuwa wanaongezeka.

Kwa kadiri tunavyoongezeka katika kuijua na kuifahamu kweli kwa kadiri hiyo hiyo tutatembea katika uhuru uliyo haki yetu ya kiagano katika Kristo.

Paulo alipokuwa anazungumza na wazee wa Efeso alisema:

Matendo 20: 32.

32 Basi, sasa nawaweka katika mikono ya Mungu, na kwa neno la neema yake, ambalo laweza kuwajenga na kuwapa urithi pamoja nao wote waliotakaswa.

Haya maneno ya ajabu sana. Neno la Mungu linatujenga na kuachilia mikononi mwetu urithi wetu. Neno la Mungu linatupa kuifahamu kweli na hiyo kweli ndiyo inayotuweka huru.

Tukiangalia hili andiko hapa:

Wakolosai 1: 13:

13Naye alituokoa katika nguvu za giza, akatuhamisha na kutuingiza katika ufalme wa Mwana wa pendo lake;

Alituokoa sio atatuokoa. Alituhamisha sio atatuhamisha. Imeshafanyika tayari ila mimi na wewe hatuwezi kutembea katika uhalisia wa kile kilichofanyika mpaka hii kweli tuikubali na tuielewe. Tusipoona kuwa hili jambo tayari limefanyika tutakuwa tunahangaika nalo kama jambo ambalo linatakiwa kufanyika wakati kwa kweli limeshafanyika na ukiokoka unaokolewa kutoka katika nguvu za giza na unahamishwa saa ile ile ambayo unaokoka. Sio kitu kinakuja kufanyika baadaye. Kinafanyika hapo hapo. Kunatokea badiliko la papo kwa hapo.

Tukiokoka kuna mambo matatu makuu yanatokea:

Wakolosai 2: 13 – 15.

13Na ninyi mlipokuwa mmekufa kwa sababu ya makosa yenu na kutokutahiriwa kwa mwili wenu, aliwafanya hai pamoja naye, akiisha kutusamehe makosa yote; 14akiisha kuifuta ile hati iliyoandikwa ya kutushitaki kwa hukumu zake, iliyokuwa na uadui kwetu; akaiondoa isiwepo tena, akaigongomea msalabani; 15akiisha kuzivua enzi na mamlaka, na kuzifanya kuwa mkogo kwa ujasiri, akizishangilia katika msalaba huo.

i). Tunasamehewa.

ii). Hati yetu ya mashataka inafutwa.

iii). Nguvu za giza kinyume na nasi zinavujwa.

Paulo aliuelezea wito wake hivi:

Matendo 26: 18.

18uwafumbue macho yao, na kuwageuza waiache giza na kuielekea nuru, waziache na nguvu za Shetani na kumwelekea Mungu; kisha wapate msamaha wa dhambi zao, na urithi miongoni mwao waliotakaswa kwa imani iliyo kwangu mimi.

Swala la uhuru wetu ni swala la macho yetu ya ndani kufunguliwa tujue.

Wapora maiti baada ya kuchoshwa na ibada

 Kundi la vijana 60, juzi walipora mwili wa marehemu Gabriel Ngalele ukiwa unaombewa kwenye Kanisa la Tanzania Assemblies Of God (TAG) eneo la Uyole jijini baada ya kuchoshwa na ibada ndefu ya mchungaji.

Ibada hiyo ilikuwa ikiendeshwa na Mchungaji, Edward Mtweve wa kanisa hilo ambaye alijikuta kwenye mazingira magumu baada ya vijana hao wanaodaiwa kuwa ni madereva wa pikipiki kuvamia madhabahu na kubeba sanduku lililokuwa na mwili wa marehemu.

Marehemu Ngatele alikuwa dereva wa pikipiki na alifariki kwenye ajali iliyotokea eneo la Sae baada ya pikipiki yake kuligonga lori lililoharibika katikati ya barabara. Katika ajali hiyo, abiria pia alifariki.

Mwili wa marehemu ulipelekwa katika kanisa hilo, na wakati mchungaji akiendesha ibada kulijitokeza kelele za hapa na pale na kusababisha mchungaji kuomba utulivu mara kadhaa.

Lakini kelele nyingi zililipuka ghafla zikiwamo za kulalamika kwamba ibada ilikuwa ndefu na hatimaye vijana wengi walionekana wakiingia kwenye mlango na kuvamia madhabahu na kutoka na mwili wa marehemu.

Baada ya kuuchukua mwili, vijana hao walikwenda kwenye makaburi kuuzika wakati naye mchungaji akiendelea kuhubiri waumini waliobaki ndani ya kanisa.

Mchungaji Mtweve alilazimika kwenda nyumbani baada ya kumaliza ibada badala ya makaburini, huku vijana nao wakiendelea na taratibu za mazishi kwa utaratibu uliosimamiwa na Mwenyekiti wa waendesha pikipiki Mbeya, Vicent Mwashoma.

Mwendesha pikipiki aliyetajwa kwa jina la Bahati Mwasote alilazimika kuendesha ibada ya mazishi.

Mchungaji Edward Mtweve alipoulizwa kuhusu tukio hilo alisema alisikitishwa na kitendo cha kuvurugwa kwa ibada.

Kongamano la Mwanzao Mpya Katika Kanisa la RICC

Viongozi wa dini watembelea bomba la gesi asilia Mtwara

Mtambo wa usafishaji gesi asili uliopo eneo la Mnazi bay Mkoani Mtwara

Viongozi wa Dini wamesema lengo la Wizara ya Nishati na Madini kufanya kazi kwa kushirikiana na viongozi wa dini katika sekta za gesi na mafuta kwa manufaa ya Watanzania limefikiwa.

Akizungumza baada ya ziara ya kutembelea bomba jipya la gesi asilia Mtwara- Dar es Salaam, mtambo wa kusafisha umeme wa Mnazi Bay na maeneo mbalimbali ya uendelezaji wa gesi asilia katika mikoa ya Mtwara na Lindi, Katibu wa Jumuiya ya Kikrsito Tanzania (CCT) na Mwenyekiti wa Sekretariati ya kongamano la viongozi wa dini, John Mapesa, alisema viongozi wa dini wamepata elimu sahihi ambayo hawakuifahamu kabla kuhusu sekta hizo.

Alisema viongozi hao wamekuwa wakipata habari ambazo si sahihi kuhusu rasilimali hizo, lakini baada ya kutembelea, kujifunza, kuona na kusikia kutoka kwa watalaam mbalimbali kuhusu namna miradi hiyo inavyofanyika, wanatarajia kuwa walimu kwa Watanzania wengine ili kuwa na uelewa wa pamoja.

Aliongeza kuwa viongozi wa dini ni sehemu ya jamii na wanaposhirikishwa kwa kuelezwa mipango mbalimbali ya serikali, ni jambo la muhimu kwa sababu wanayo nafasi ya moja kwa moja ya kuwasiliana na wananchi ikiwamo kushauri.

Aliongeza kuwa elimu waliyoipata na taarifa walizozipata, zitakuwa na mchango katika kuleta amani na ustawi wa jamii wakati huu ambapo nchi inaelekea katika kupokea uchumi mkubwa kupitia rasilimali hizo.

Kwa upande wake, Naibu Katibu Mkuu Wizara ya Nishati na Madini aliyeongoza ujumbe huo, Ngosi Mwihava, alisema kufuatia ziara hiyo ya viongozi wa dini, inaonyesha kuwa serikali ni inasikiliza matarajio ya wananchi.

Naye Mkuu wa Wilaya ya Kilwa, Abdallah Ulega, aliutaka ujumbe huo kuwaeleza wananchi kuwa mafanikio katika sekta ya gesi yapo na wananchi wameanza kufaidika nayo.

Benny Hinn Allowed to Visit Indian State Despite Protests From Hindus

Evangelist Benny Hinn

An Indian court has said that controversial evangelist Benny Hinn will be allowed to visit the state of Karnataka despite protests and petitions from fundamentalist Hindi groups against him.

"India is a secular country. It has so many sects, languages, beliefs and religions as well as social and cultural groups. Tolerance is the need of the hour. We are shocked that the courts are used for these kinds of issues," said Karnataka's High Court, according to Asia News.

Hinn, who is scheduled to speak at a Christian Prayer Conference in Bangalore later this month, attracted protests from close to 2,000 Hindus who on Jan. 3 gathered in the city and called for officials to ban him from visiting.

He is being accused of having a "hidden agenda" of converting Hindus to Christianity, accusations he faced in his previous visit to Bangalore in 2005. Back then, several court cases were filed against him, with plaintiffs arguing that he was trying to convert locals.

The event will be held at Bethel Assembly of God Church, Jan. 15-17. Organizers said the prayer conference will not be a "healing crusade," even though prayers for the sick will be provided.

The Karnataka court has warned the Hindu petitioners that they should not be claiming superior rights against other citizens.

"We welcome the decision of the High Court," said Sajan K. George, president of the Global Council of Indian Christians.

"Unfortunately, a small number of Hindu fundamentalists will stop at nothing to oppose anything that is Christian," George noted, arguing that such groups "don't seem to care much for the welfare of the nation or constitutional provisions, conveniently forgetting the fact that India is a well-respected democracy in the world."

Hinn, who holds "healing service" and prayer events several times a year in different countries around the world, noted that he will participate in all three days of the Bangalore prayer conference. On his website, he promises that the "life-changing event will feature an in-depth teaching from the Word of God, anointed worship and a powerful move of the Holy Spirit!"

The evangelist has been criticized over the years for false prophecies and claims about miracle healings that supposedly occur in such gatherings.

According to the CIA Factbook, over 80.5 percent of India's population, the second largest in the world, is Hindu. Muslims make up 13.4 percent, while Christians, only 2.3 percent.

At Least 30 Christians Killed in Attack on Christian Village in Central Nigeria

International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that at least 30 Christians, including women, children and the elderly, were brutally murdered in an attack on a Christian village in central Nigeria. Islamic gunmen, believed to be from the Fulani ethnic group, opened fire on residents of Shonong village located in Nigeria's Plateau State, killing those unfortunate enough to be in the village at the time of the attack.

The attack on Shonong village began early in the day on Monday, January 6th. According to survivors, "hundreds of attackers" poured into the Christian village with automatic weapons, killing Christians they discovered still in the village proper. On top of the killings, 20 Christian homes were set ablaze and other private properties owned by Christians were either destroyed or stolen by the attackers. According BosNewsLife, eye witnesses have reported that "some 30 human remains were recovered so far." According to others, many villages remain missing.

Although this attack on Shonong village was devastating, many believe the death toll could have been much higher if not for the swift intervention of the police and Nigerian military. Authorities in Nigeria have yet to confirm an official death toll.

Christian leaders in Nigeria suspect the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram is inciting the Fulani Muslims to attack Christians living in Nigeria's middle belt region. "From all indications, the terrorism being witnessed in the country is purely in pursuit of Jihad," Rev. Yiman Orkwar, archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Makurdi in Benue State, told Morning Star News. "In Benue state, Fulani terrorists in collaboration with Boko Haram and other foreign mercenaries are causing wanton destruction of lives and property."

Boko Haram, whose name means 'Western education is a sin,' has a stated goal of establishing a separate Islamic state in Nigeria's north where it can implement its fundamentalist interpretation of Sharia law. In 2012, Boko Haram demanded all Christians living in northern Nigeria flee to south so that only a purely Islamic society can be established. Since making this demand, Boko Haram has used church bombings, drive-by shootings and deadly raids on Christian villages as a part of its strategy to 'purify' northern Nigeria. Now it seems that Christians living in Nigeria's central regions are in equal peril.

ICC's Regional Manager, William Stark, said, "Islamic extremists continue to slaughter and terrorize Christians living in Nigeria's northern and central states. The only crime many of these Christians have committed is belonging to a religious faith Boko Haram and its affiliates believe don't belong in northern and central Nigeria. ICC applauds the action taken by the U.S. to designate Boko Haram a Foreign Terrorist Organization, but more has to be done to end the slaughter. The Nigerian government must take steps to ensure the safety of Christians living in Nigeria. If decisive action is not taken, the unbelievable violence being perpetrated against Christians in Nigeria will only continue to accelerate and will likely reach genocidal levels in the near future."    

TAG Mwanga Lamtegemeza Mchungaji Gari la Sh. 15 Mill

“Kweli kumtumikia Mungu kuna faida, kama utakubali na kutii sauti ya wito wake na kwenda kumtumikia mahali ambapo amekutuma, ukamtumikie lazima akubariki” ukatumikie lazima akubariki hayo ni maneno ya Askofu  wa Kanisa la TAG, Jimbo la Kigoma , Omary Mulenda, akishukuru Mungu baada ya kukabidhiwa gari aina ya Noah yenye thamani  ya shilingi milioni 15 na Kanisa lake la Msifuni Mwanga, wakati wa ibada wiki moja imepita.
