Dwelling In Unity and Love

Ruach has stirred this message in my heart for many days now as a matter of concern to the body of Christ.You have heard of church splits or ministry splits,but you have never heard of mosque or temple splits.Why?I tell you the truth Evangelism cannot be done without an element of love in the messenger,s heart.God himself is love {john3:16}You have read “love covers a multitude of sins”.What we don’t do out of love is evil.Our works will be judged before the Bema seat of Christ.What will you tell the Lord if he sends you to another continent to sow good seeds of his eternal word, and because of your attitude you find it not fit?The God of Israel is not judgmental perse,and may give your assignment to another{there are 7000 reservists you may not know of just like the days of Elijah.}. Personally I have always been grateful for Dr.Ludwing kraph among the two German missionaries for bringing the gospel to my country in the 19th century.They sacrificed comfort for the sake of the kingdom and we are enjoying the fruits thereof.History always shapes the future.in my country,the gospel was further spread thro the efforts of the church of England.The virtue of love, sometimes is practiced better by people of other faiths than christians.Once when I was stranded when I arrived in an Arab country on a Friday morning as everything was at a standstill,a Muslim man came to my rescue and helped me against all odds.Once when I was in Asia,and I lost my bearing on arrival at midnight,a young man{not a Christian} told me he knows very little English and he gave me his phone to speak to his girlfriend who is proficient in English,and I got the information that I needed.Once too when I was in Jerusalem and a young Jewish lady stopped me in the streets and asked me,”Where do you come from?”I answered back,”Kenya.”She then said “I love Kenya”.i can not forget what some messianic Arab Jews told me in our hotel dining room one evening.They said”We want to come to Kenya and see wildlife”.A young boy also came along to play with me.He told me he knows very little English and I should speak French with him.All this was happening as the parents watched and laughed.Now what if I had hatred in my heart and was judgmental would I have had a rapport with these four category of people?I remember witnessing to a young Arab teen in Jerusalem.He came carrying and selling edible food stuff.He told me his name was David. Right away I told him the story of David and Goliath as I bought his foodstuff. Then I told him about Jesus Christ coming from the lineage of David son of jesse.i asked him whether he has ever heard of Jesus.He then looked at me firmly and asked -“is he an Ameri can?”I couldn,t believe the answer,I had “butterflies”in my stomach.The holy land needs serious Evangelism,many souls are lost here.You cannot afford to be divisive in your doctrine of you are to reach these kind of people. The danger of hatred and seclusion is that it limits your scope.You can,t pray like jebez did for the Lord to increase his territory.Remember you can,t export hatred to far distant lands,if you were to be on these kind of assignmen ts.The gospel is inclusive of everyone and not exclusive{Mat28:18-20}.in August 2019 in a dream while I was at a retreat center with other intercessor s in a town called machakos,He said by voice “Some remnants in future will be sent to Burma”.I found out that modern name for Burma is Myanmar. Will you refuse to go becoz that country has lots of monks and Buddhi sts? Will you argue by saying they should just go to hell.Really? Would you have cared if one of your family member was in this religion? I went to an Asian school in high school.That morning I went to class for the first time i was welcomed by a student of Pakistan heritage known as Saqib Malik.We became bosom friend s and we would go home together everyday.He introduced me to the indian dishes which I love eating todate.Our class of 30 students was half christian,half Islamic.i never saw any segregation or hatred based on race or religion for the entire four years.After high school I got salvation and I enrolled for a 9month Biblical studies course offered by VBCI Calgary Alberta Canada.On graduation day the founder of the institution came with a delegation and we interacted and did some ministry together.i can only remember him saying he left his home country at -40°c and I knew that place was not a joke in the winter. When Moses,a Hebrew was born,phar aoh,s daughter an Egyptian saw the potential of this new born baby{a heathen having discernment.}and took him as his own son{Ex2:5-10} even though later on he left.Coexistence and integration is a concept that started in bible days.Majorly the Hebrews went to Egypt for nourishment and refuge if need be{Gen44,45,46 and mat2:13-15} Many in our modern age live in the diaspora for one reason or another.it is very much ok,but don’t throw tantrum s to your host nation as this depicts pride and ungratefulness.We should do everything with Thanksgiving as the scriptures admonishes.i have friends abroad who are Kenyans but I have never heard them castigating their host nations.We call it here-‘Cutting the hands that feeds you’. My father studied Engineering in Toronto Canada and was hosted by an elderly white lady in his five year stint. The connection was done by an Anglican bishop.After securing emplo yment here the co.sponsered him for a sugar engineering course in India for a duration of time.He worked for various hotels in the city and later an Asian offered him a contract in Botswana for three years.While in Canada,he visited England and Denmark.Years ago he saw an opening by a Saudi firm but he opted to do his business.in all these places he went,I never heard him even once talking ill/evil of those places We were all happy to see Mrs Beaver the lady who hosted my dad in Nairobi one day.She came to our house and we hosted her for lunch.She was using hearing aid.Those days I was serving in the church,my pastor used to host visitors from the US and Australia inter changebly.At times we took them to various places with his sons.i reme mber a lady who came frequently at my pastor,s place by the name Mrs Hughes{a British national who was a missionary to our country.}One morning she arrived with little or no notice.We had just taken breakfast with the pastors sons and we were almost living for some errands.She accused us of clobbering everything so there was no breakfast for her.She had good ‘ministry chemistry ‘with the pastor and that was a good score then. When later in life I visited the jail at kapenguria where our independence heroes were incarcerated -the kapeng uria 7, lengthwise was 3 adult steps and the width 1 and half adult step with a metallic basket for the bathroom.They endured this condition for 7 years.When we exited this place with a workmate who comes from this region,I would have said-“To hell with the British colonialists and their seed”. if Jesus said when he was at the cross “Father forgive them coz they don,t know what they are doing.”We have to forgive all those who have wronged us historically and presently.This is sound doctrine and we should discard what is unbiblical to close the doors of decep tion.Put everything under the search light of Ruach,even this message is not an exception.The great falling away is now being fulfilled b4 your very eyes,let Ruach increase your discernment.We have to go back to the message of the blood and the cross like never b4.Ask for fresh cleansing daily even as we repent.in our national anthem, there is a verse that says-May we dwell in unity,peace and liberty.This brings Gal5:22 to the fore.But the fruit of the spirit is love,joy,peace,patience,kindne ss, goodness,selfcontrol{don.t spew venom with your tongue}; against such things there is no law.Remember there will be a great multitude before the throne of God in heaven from every nation,tribe,kindred{race}, people and tongue.John the apostle saw it.Reme mber even peter had issues of his own.in Acts10:13 he was told to rise, kill and eat,but replied in v14 that he has never eaten anything unclean.He was rebuked in v.15.He was being called to Evangelist but he had man made boundaries.Do you judge others unnecessarily? Remember there is no hatred and strife in heaven,so you better start practicing good virtues as the clock ticks towards the mid night hour.This was the message Ruach wanted me to convey and I have washed my hands like Pilate did. Psalm 133:1Behold how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity. 2.it is like precious oil on the head running down on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes. 3 it, is like the dew of Hermon which falls on the mountain of Zion.For there the Lord has command Ed the blessing,life forevermore.
