New beginning

.
Mumwe munhu anogona kufa nhasi 31 december agotadza kupinda muna2016, but kana munhu iyeye afira muna Jesu, anozopinda denga apo Jesu achadzoka kechipiri ( 1 Thess 4:16). But poita umwe munhu wekuti anogona hake kupinda muna 2016 but agotodza kupinda denga nechikonzero chekuti ainge asina kutenda muna Jesu, but uchizvitarisa nemuonero wevanhu, we feel pity kune uyo afa 31 December akatadza kupinda 2016 instead yekuti tinzwire tsitsi uyo apinda 2016 but asina Jesu nekuti anogona hake kupinda 2016 but as long as asina Jesu there is no salvation for that person

Ipapa apa ndipo panopotsa vazhinji, much emphasis inoiswa pakupinda into a new year more than kupinda denga. Handione chakaipa pakuti vanhu vafarire kupinda into a new year, as long as kufara kwacho kusingazounze kutadzira Mwari I don’t see anything wrong with it. but kune event isiri new year yekuti iyoyo ikaitika, ngirozi dzekudenga dzinopembera, Jesu anoti pana Luke 15:7 mufaro mukuru uchava kudenga pamusoro pomutadzi mumwe chete anenge atendeuka, there is joy in heaven when a sinner repents.

Gore rinogona kupera kukatanga rimwe but life yako igotadza kuchinja. Old wine in new wine skins tastes the same. Kuchinja mvura uchiisa muchigubhu cheCoke, inoramba iri mvura, it will never change its taste nekuti wachinja container. Ndirikuti calendar rinogona kuchinja but kana iwewe ukasachinja character yako you will find kuti there will be no change in your life, it’s very good kuva optimistic uchitarisira zvinhu zvakanaka in the coming year but rega ndikuudze chokwadi chemahara, as long as you don’t change your old habits, your life will be the same, there is need yekuti munhu atendeuke abva pane zvakaipa ndiko kuti hupenyu husanduke

Pane murume akauya kuna Jesu munguva dzemanheru ainzi Nicodemus pana John 3. This was no ordinary man, he was a Pharisee and a ruler of the Jews, munhu aiva neposition muChurch, akauya kuna Jesu akati “Rabhi, tinoziva kuti muri mudzidzisi akabva kuna Mwari. Nokuti hakuna munhu angagona kuita zviratidzo zvamunoita kana Mwari asinaye.”
But chinzwa manje answer yaJesu, “Ndinokuudza chokwadi, hakuna munhu angaona umambo hwaMwari kana asina kuberekwa patsva.”

Nicodemus munhu ariku Appreciater minana yaJesu, but iye Jesu wacho ndipo paanoita searikuenda off topic, akutanga kutaura neNyaya yekuzvarwa patsva kuti upinde muKingdom yaMwari.
Jesu arikuedza kubatsira murume uyu kuti azive kuti nyaya yekuzvarwa patsva is very important kupfuura maMiracles. Nicodemus anogona hake kuyemura maMiracles but kana akasazvarwa patsva haakwanise kupinda muhumambo hwaMwari.

Im not against miracles, in actual fact ini ndinototenda mumaMiracles anoitwa nesimba raMwari, but ngatizive kuti unogona kuEnjoyer miracle but kana usina kuzvarwa patsva haupinde muhumambo hwaMwari. Kune vazhinji vana veIsrael vakadya manna murenje, vakayambuka red sea, vakamwa mvura yemudombo, they enjoyed maMiracles but havana kusvika kuPromised land nekuti havana kufadza Mwari. let this be a lesson to us nhasi, kuti unogona kuEnjoyer miracle but kana ukasatenda munaJesu, kana ukasazvarwa patsva then unenge wakananga mukuparadzwa.

vamwe vaitevera Jesu nenhau yekuti vaida miracle bread but akavaudza kuti Musashandira zvokudya zvinoparara, asi zvokudya zvinogara kusvika kuupenyu husingaperi, (John 6:27). Jesu ndiye nyakuita miracle yechingwa but at the same time akuita kunge arikuOpposer nyaya yechingwa chacho, problem yaivapo ndeyekuti people were now following Jesus because of the bread rather than kuti vaponeswe.

Nikodhimo arikuAppreciator nhau yemaMiracles but a greater issue than that is introduced to him, hameno kana uine zvimwe zvawanga urikuyemura nhasi but ndati tizivisane nezvechinhu chakakosha kwazvo chekuti munhu aberekwe patsva

Nicodemus ndipo paanoita mubvunzo unogona kubvunzwa nevamwe nhasi kuti “Munhu angaberekwa seiko iye ava mukuru? Zvirokwazvo haangagoni kupinda mudumbu ramai vake kechipiri kuti aberekwe patsva!” “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?”

Jesus did not keep this man in darkness but akamuudza kuti “Ndinokuudza chokwadi, hakuna munhu angapinda muumambo hwaMwari kana asina kuberekwa nemvura uye noMweya”
Nyaya irikutaurwa apa its about water baptism and baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Jesu ndipo paanoenderera mberi oti “Nyama inobereka nyama, asi Mweya anobereka Mweya The fact that vabereki vako are devoted Christians hazvireve kuti newewo watovawo muChristu, kwete it doesn’t work that way Nyama inobereka nyama, asi Mweya anobereka Mweya. Muri mwana waBishop sisi but izvozvo hazviite kuti mupinde denga , munofanira kuberekwa patsva ndiko kuti mupinde denga. Haizi nyaya yekuti wakazvarirwa muChurch (ah ah no), even if wakazvarirwa muChurch there is need yekuti ubarwe patsva.

Remember status yaNicodemus, this man was a ruler of the jews, aiva nechigaro muChurch but anoudzwa nyaya yekuberekwa patsva. Nhai ko Jesu anoita Seiko, kuudza munhu ane chigaro muChurch kuti aberekwe patsva, aizve, kureva kuti unogona kunge uine chigaro muChurch, uchikudzwa nevanhu but nyaya iyi igokubata futi, you have to be born again. denga haripindwe nekuti waiva uine position muChurch here, ah ah, you have to be born again kuti upinde denga.

Nicodemus akamboda kutaura futi the issue about age, hanzi how can a man be born when he is old. Hazvina mhosva kuti makore afamba vakuru, as long as usina kuberekwa patsva you have to do so. Kupedza 20 years uri muChurch is not enough, haizi nyaya yekungoJoiner church chete zvogumira ipapo, no its more than that, church register handiyo ichashandiswa kuti vanhu vapinde denga but only those who have their names written in the book of life ndiwo vachaponeswa. Kana wanga uine resolution yekuJoiner church in 2016, that’s good, but on top of that resolution nyora kuti “to be born again”

Jesu akati Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. paari kuti “a man” apo hazvireve varume chete, aiwa it also means vakadzi, the word man in that context refers to mankind, munhu wese anonzi munhu whether murume or mukadzi, saka sisi regai kufunga kuti nyaya iyi ndeye varume chete but its for both males and females. This statement applies to everyone.

Iko kuti munhu azozvarwe patsva nemvura nemweya (water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism) chinotanga is for a person to understand kuti (s)he is in need of a saviour, unofanira kunzwisisa kuti unoda muponesi akanokudzikinura kubva muchivi and muponesi iyeye ndiJesu Christu. Kana waona kuipa kwechivi wotendeuka kubva pachiri. But kungosiya zvivi chete its not enough, unofanira kureurura zvivi zvako kuna Mwari wokumbira kuti vakuregerere, and believe in Jesus Christ.


Nikodhimo ndiye akaudzwa the famous John 3:16 inoti “Nokuti Mwari akada nyika nokudaro, kuti akapa Mwanakomana wake mumwe oga, kuti ani naani anotenda kwaari arege kufa asi ave noupenyu husingaperi.

Kana munhu achitenda muna Jesu, then ari supposed kubhabhatidzwa mumvura muviri wese kamwe chete (the whole body in water once, will expand on this issue mune chimwe chidzidzo chakazvimirira chega). Izvi zvichimirira kufa nekumuka kwaJesu as Romans 6:3-4 teaches. Pazuva rePentecost vanhu vakatenda muvhangeri rainge raparidzwa & 3000 were baptised (Acts 2:41). The Ethiopian eunuch paakaparidzirwa nezvaJesu akatenda mazviri akabhabhatidzwa (act 8:38), umwe guard Jeri paakatenda muna Jesu iye nemhuri yake vakabhabhatidzwa Acts 16:33, kana munhu achitenda muna Jesu ari supposed kubhabhatidzwa as Mark 16:16 says The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does not believe will be condemned.

But hazvigumire ipapo chete, aiwa munhu ari supposed kugamuchira Mweya Mutsvene, if it means fasting and prayer kuti ugamuchire Mweya Mutsvene do so. nekuti Romans 8:14 inoti For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. nokuti vaya vanotungamirirwa noMweya waMwari ndivo vana vaMwari.

Zvinofadza kwazvo kupinda into a new year, but chikuru ndechekuti umwe neumwe aberekwe patsva kuti agokwanisa kupinda denga. 2 vakorinde 5:17 yoti iyo Naizvozvo kana munhu ava muna Kristu, ava chisikwa chitsva; zvakare zvapfuura, zvinhu zvose zvava zvitsva. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.


You can have a new beginning with Jesus Christ

ZVIRONGO ZVAKABOKA

Scripture reading: Jeremiah 2:13

Jeremiah 2:13 inoti iyo “Nokuti vanhu vangu vakaita zvinhu zviviri zvakaipa. Vakandisiya, ini tsime remvura mhenyu, vakazvivezera zvirongo, zvirongo zvakaputsika, zvisingagoni kuchengeta mvura.”

ndiMwari Varikutaura apa vachiti ivo vanhu vavo vakaita 2 evil things, the first evil thing chavakaita was kusiya ivo Jehovah the fountain of the living waters, and the 2nd thing ndokubva vazvigadzirira zvirongo zvakaputsika zvisingagone kuchengeta mvura, broken cisterns that cannot hold water. The true source yemvura vanhu havachade but vavekugadzira avo maContainers akaboka, anobvinza which can not hold water.

Nyaya irikutaurwa apa ichinzi mvura haizi mvura yatajaira in the ordinary sense H20, aiwa its more than about the natural water. Just like the days of Jeremiah so is it also today, vanhu vakasiya Jehovah tsime remvura mhenyu and vakazvigadzirira zvirongo zvisingachengete mvura zvinobvinza.

Vanhu havachade Mweya Mutsvene, aiwa vave kuda zvinhu zvinonzi zviri anointed but vachiramba the source of the anointing which is the Holy Spirit, ndokusaka uchiona kuti chiri more popular muzuva ranhasi maServices anopihwa vanhu some anointed materials but kana zvikanzi tinoda kuita service yekuti mumwe nemumwe azvinamatire in order to receive Mweya Mutsvene izvozvo hazvidiwe nevanhu.

People have left the fountain of living waters, vave kuda zvirongo zvakaboka zvisingagone kuchengeta mvura. Vanhu vavekuda chigubhu chemafuta chinogona kubiwa but Mweya Mutsvene asingabiwe havachamude, vave kuda anything chinonzi chiri anointed chavanobhadhariswa mari but the gift of GOD (The Holy Spirit) which is for free havadi.

Bible vanhu havachade, vave kuda maMan-made doctrines mamwe acho anotopesana neBible. Salvation (rupeneso) runowanikwa nenyasha kubudikidza nekutenda munaJesu vanhu havachade, they want to depend nemabasa avo kuti ndiwo achavaponesa, izvo zvaJesu people no longer want, they want to depend on their works for salvation

Vhangeri raJesu harichadiwe, pavekudiwa maMotivational speakers who call themselves man & women of GOD vanokuudza zvinotekenyedza nzeve even though zviri zvekunyepa. Mutemo waMwari hauchadiwe, vanhu vavekuda tsika dzechurch nemitemo yevanhu imwe inotopesana nemitemo yaMwari, ndiyo yavakusimudzirwa & mutemo waMwari uchidzikisirwa

Vanhu vakasiya Jehovah tsime remvura mhenyu, vakazvivezera zvirongo, zvirongo zvakaputsika, zvisingagoni kuchengeta mvura.

2 Timoti 4:3-4 yoti “Nokuti nguva ichasvika vanhu pavacharamba kuteerera dzidziso yakarurama. Asi vachida zvinovafadza ivo, vachazviunganidzira vadzidzisi vazhinji kuti vadzidzise zvinodiwa nenzeve dzavo. Vachafuratidza nzeve dzavo kuchokwadi uye vachatsaukira kungano

sarudzo ndeyako kuzvivezera chirongo chisingachengete mvura kana kudzokera kuna Jehovah tsime remvura mhenyu.

Let me be quick to make myself clear, Ini handirambe kuti GOD can use any medium kusvitsa simba rake kuvanhu, even muBible tinoona mumvuri waPeter uchiporesa varwere, tinoona machira achiunzwa paBody yaPaul and afterwards oiswa pane vanorwara and they would recover. GOD can use any medium, BUT chinhu ichocho hachizi richo chine nyaya but nyaya ndiJesu. That anointed material is not supposed to replace nzvimbo yaMwari muLife mako otherwise inenge yatova idolatry.

That anointed item is supposed to draw you towards GOD and not away from GOD, ukaona chichikudhonzera kure naMwari ziva kuti wazvigadzirira chirongo chakaboka. Its very sad kuti vamwe vavekuisa zvinhu izvi above GOD. anotosarudza kubuda mumba asina kutaura naMwari through prayer but haaite mistake yekubuda mumba asina kuzora anointing oil. The oil has replaced his/her prayer life. rubber band yemuruoko haadi kuishaya but week rese rinogona kupera without talking some serious time yekutaura naMwari kana kuverenga shoko raMwari. You are being drawn away from GOD by depending on that thing

Chinondibata panhau yezvirongo izvi is the issue yekuti zvirongo izvi zvakaputsika zvinobvinza, ndizvo zvataura Bible. Kudai zvaikwanisa kuchengetedza mvura yacho it was better but since zvakaboka hazvikwanise kuchengetedza mvura yacho. This shows their weakness.

Zvichitaridzawo maWeaknesses ezvinhu zviri kutendwa nevanhu mazuva ano. Faith yevanhu yabatirira pazvinhu zvizere maWeakness. Why do you trouble yourselves nezvirongo zvakaboka, ko madii kuDepender kuna Jesu the source of living waters.

Johani 4:14 yoti Asi aninani, unomwa mvura yandichamupa ini, haachazovi nenyota nokusingaperi asi mvura, yandichamupa, ichava mukati make tsime remvura, inovhaira kusvika kuvupenyu bwusingaperi

Rangarira that other day pataitaura nyaya yekuti Rachel dzosera Laban chimwari chake, but wakambozvifunga here kuti ko iye Laban anoita chimwari chekuti chinobiwa, a god which can be stolen and he even failed to recover it. (Genesis 31:30-32).

Ndiyo nyaya yezvirongo zvinobvinza. Laban's god could not protect itself against theft and you think it could protect Laban. NEVER.

Check chinhu chauri kuisa faith machiri, hazvisi rizvo here zvimwari zvaLaban zvekuti zvinogona kutobiwa nevanhu. Mwari vanogona kuisa simba ravo pane something but remember kuti satan aripo pakuda kuCreator zvake zveFake to mislead the people. Unogadzirirwa counterfeit, a copy of the original, ugofunga kuti isimba raMwari izvo nyamba ndisatan akugadzirira chirongo chakaboka. Even though that anointed item iri yaMwari you are not supposed to put your faith machiri but uri supposed kuisa faith yako muna Mwari the source of power. Ukafarira tap yemvura kupfuura dam unoita problem, nekuti tap pachezvayo haigone kukupa mvura, zvinotoda the source of the water which is the dam. So dependence yako ngaive kuSource (dam) than kuva paMedium (tap) yashandiswa to deliver zvauri kuda

Psalms 20:7 yoti Vamwe vanovimba neNgoro, vamwe vanovimba namabhiza asi isu ticharangarira zita raJehovah Mwari wedu.

Vamwe vanovimba nezvinhu zviri physical but chinhu chiri physical chakaipira kuti chinogona kukurasisa. That chariot inogona kubva vhiri, inogona kutyoka axle. Horse rinogona kufuma richirwara, rinogona kuminyuka gumbo asi kana vari Mwari hapana pavanorasisa avo vanotenda mavari. He has no point of fault or weakness yekuti unogona kunongedzera kuti apa paita problem like zvingaitike pazvinhu zviri physical.

Some trust in oil, some trust in water, some trust in wrist bands, some trust in stickers, some trust in machira emashavi, some trust in herbs, some trust in salt yematombo, some trust in money, some trust in stones, some trust in midzi but we shall remember the name of our Lord God.

Chinhu chiri physical chinogona kukurasisa but not God.
Chigubhu cheOil unogona kuchibirwa, mvura inogona kuteuka, wrist band unogona kuiMisplacer, salt inogona kushayikwa mushop segore riya, jira rinogona kutsva, sticker rinogona kunamanurwa but Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever

Im not trying to belittle what people but their trust in, but ndirikuti isa kutenda kwako muna Mwari unoone achiita zvakapfura zvaungaitirwe nechinhu chiri physical. Chinhu chepanyama chinogona kukurasisa but not Mwari

Vamwe vanotya kurara murima, vanoda kurara mune light. Manje nemaendero arikuita magetsi ayo murikupona nei. How about kuisa faith yako muna Jesu the true light than kuDepender pane maGlobe rekuti rinogona kutsva. Why kuzvivezera zvirongo zvinobvinza? The peace you are looking for in your sleep huiwane mumaEnergy saver bulbs but unoiwana muna Life Saver Jesu

John 12:46 Jesu anoti Ini ndakavuya munyika, ndiri chiedza, kuti aninani unotenda kwandiri arege kugara murima.

This message ndeye avo vakazvigadzirira zvirongo zvakatsemuka zvisingagone kuchengeta mvura, vachisiya Jesu the source of the living waters, kana usina kuzvigadzirira zvirongo zvakatsemuka,ko unotsamweiko? kana uri pana Mwari then you have no need to worry, rega hako kupopotera muparidzi but chisiya shoko iri ribatsire vanoda kubatsirwa narwo. Jesus did not come to the righteous but akauuya kuzodeidza vatadzi kuti vatendeuke. If you feel that you are o.k. you don’t need to be saved that’s good for you, but kana uchinzwa kuti shoko iri rakanangana newe I have come to tell you kuti don’t harden your heart, usaomesa moyo wako nekuti mukana uchiripo wekuti udzokere kuna Mwari and be saved

Mubayiro Uchabvepi?

Mistake yaungaite pabasa ndeye kufunga kuti umwe mushandi akaita sewe ndiye achakupa pay yako & you put your trust in that person. Payday inosvika & ugorwadziwa kuti ko sei asiri kundipa salary yangu, problem ndeyekuti watarisira kubhadharwa nemunhu asiriye, unoriramba basa iri as long usingazive kuti mubayiro wako unobvepi.

Nhasi pane vazhinji varikuchema pabasa raMwari nechikonzero chekuti vakatarisira kubhadharwa nevamwewo vanhu instead of focusing on God. Hebrews 11:6 inotiudza kuti GOD is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. Avo vanotsvaga Mwari nomoyo wose vane mubayiro wavo wavanopihwa naMwari. Don’t get it twisted ipapa apa, anopa mubayiro ndiMwari & not vanhu, saka manje ukatarisira kupihwa mubayiro nevanhu unenge wairasa nekuti hapana chinouya or unogona kupihwa mubayiro wekuti unorwadziwa kuti shuwa here after all I did, this is what I get. Indava vachitsvinya so. Problem ndeyekuti watarisira mubayiro from the wrong source.

Rega kuparidza evhangeri kuti upiwe mibayiro nevanhu, aiwa ziva kuti mubayiro unobva kuna Mwari. vamwe vakaramwa kuparidza nekuti akashayiwa akamudaira amen after aparidza. Problem ndeyekuti aitsvaga reward yema “amen” kubva kuvanhu instead yekutsvaga mubayiro unobva kuna Mwari. kana uchibata basa raMwari, haizi nyaya yekuda kufadza vanhu asi ndeyekuda kufadza Mwari akakutuma saka don’t be worried pakashaya anokuudza kuti waparidza a powerful sermon, aiwa haizi nyaya yekutsvaga maRewards kuvanhu asi ngatizive kuti reward inobva kuna Mwari.

Vamwe ndivo vanochema kuti “ahhh vanhu vese vandinobatsira havatendi, Bible rinoti tibatsire vanotikumbira rubatsiro but everyone I help doesn’t appreciate, I feel like giving up”. No, don’t give up, ziva kuti kana uchibatsira munhu hauzi kutsvaga kutendwa nemunhu iyeye asi urikurarama shoko rawakapihwa naMwari. reward yako haizi pa “thank you” yaunoudzwa nevanhu but reward yako inobva kuna Mwari. even munhu akarega kukutenda, that should not bother you because you know kuti mubayiro wako urikuuya from GOD. Jesu chaiye akaporesa 10 varume vaive nemaperembudzi but only 1 ndiye akadzoka kuzotenda, the other 9 havana kudzoka. But Jesu haana kuregedza kuporesa vanorwara simply because paita vanhu vasingatende, no he continued with his good works & you should do the same also. (Luke 17:12-19)

There are times that you live a Godly life but panoshaya anoAppreciator zvaunoita, that’s very normal. But that must not discourage you nekuti anofanira kuAppreciator ndiMwari and not vanhu. Saka don’t be worried nezvinotaura or zvisingataurwe nevanhu. Work for a cause and not for an applause.

Nyaya handi yekutsvaga kuombererwa nevanhu kana kupihwa mubhadharo nevanhu in any form but ziva kuti achakupa mubayiro ndiMwari.
Revelation 22;12 Jesu oti “Tarirai, ndiri kukurumidza kuuya! Mubayiro wangu ndinawo, uye ndichapa mumwe nomumwe maererano nezvaakaita.

Jesu ndiye ari kuuya neReward, kwete vanhu asi Jesu on His Second coming, saka rega kutarisira reward yemaAmen kana waparidza, rega kutarisira reward yekuombererwa kana waita Bible study, rega kutarisira thank you after helping someone, rega kutarisira a pat on the back for living a Godly life, kana vanhu vachizokutenda that’s good but ngairege kuva aim yako yekuda kufadza vanhu nekuti in doing so, uchagumisira wavakuita zvinofadza vanhu but zvisingafadze Mwari.

Vagaratiya 6:9 Ngatiregei kuneta pakuita zvakanaka, nokuti nenguva yakafanira tichakohwa kana tisingaori mwoyo

Aluta Continua (the struggle continues) – Part 2

Scripture reading: Revelation 12:7-9

Aluta continua, hondo ichiri kuenderera mberi, in part 1 takaona kuti hondo pamusoro pezvakaipa izvo zvinobva kuna satan nezvakanaka izvo zvinobva kuna Mwari haina kupera, the battle still continues. Nhasi tirikuda kudzidza pamusoro pemaTactics which we can use to win this war.

Kuti ukunde hondo iyi you need to join the winning side. Ukaverenga Zvakazarurwa 20 vs 10 uchaona kupera kwehondo iyi satan and his team shall be thrown into the lake of fire. maResults ehondo iyi atoriko kare, the devil is going to lose, its like a delayed match, & kana uchiona delayed match don’t expect kuti maResults achachinja, hakuna izvozvo. saka gara waziva side rekuJoiner. Join team Jesus nekuti ndiyo irikuhwina. Iwo mademon they actually know it, that’s why akabvunza Jesu akati mauya here kuzotitambudza iyo nguva isati yakwana, (Matthew 8:29). Meaning to say the demons know that they are going to be destroyed. Gamuchira Jesu nekuti kubudikidza naiye ndiye anotipa kukunda wakaipa. Babatidzwa uye ugamuchire Mweya Mutsvene, nekuti Mweya Mutsvene is the greatest empowerment you need pahondo iyi.

Kana uchinge waJoiner side raMwari kubudikidza nekutenda muna Jesu zvavakuda kuti uchitange kurarama hupenyu hunoenderana nezvinodzidziswa naMwari wacho. You cannot join the army yet usingade to follow orders, hazviite, unodzingwa. Saka kana waJoiner humambo hwaMwari, iva munhu anoterera zvinodiwa naMwari, when soldiers are told to jump they don’t ask why but they ask how high sir, when soldiers are told to run, they don’t ask why but they ask at what speed sir, Your Commander knows what’s best for you that’s why ari Commander, zvaunenge wanzi naMwari siya chibva wasiya, zvawanzi ita chibva waita. Commander wako anoziva zvakakunakira uye zvisina kukunakira so you need to obey Him.

Kana waJoiner team Jesus, let go of zvimwe zvinhu zvinokukanganisa kurwa hondo iyi. 2 Timothy 2:4 yoti Hakuna munhu anoshanda somurwi anozviisa pazvinhu zvoupenyu hwavasiri varwi, anoda kufadza mukuru wake wehondo, (No one in military service gets entangled in matters of everyday life; otherwise he will not please the one who recruited him.)

Kana mafunga zvekufadza Mwari, do away nezvinhu zvinokupiringisa, zvinhu zvakaita seEntertaiment yekunyika, certain friends, certain fashion, anything chinoita kuti utadzekuServer Mwari fully ngachisiiwe. Hebrews 12:1 yoti “ Naizvozvo nesuwo, zvatakakomberedzwa negore rezvapupu rakakura rikadai, NGATIBVISEI ZVOSE ZVINOREMEDZA, nechivi chinongotinamatira nyore, uye ngatimhanyei nokutsungirira, nhangemutange yatakaisirwa. We need to lay down every weight of the world, kwete kuswera takatakura nezvinhu zvisingatibatsire pahondo iyi.

1 Peter 5:8 yoti BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour” hondo iyi inotoda kuva sober, ukaita zvekudzakwa satan anokubata wakarivara. Haizi nguva yekuda kuSticker neBronco, this is not the time yekumwa cranco, maLagers or any alcohol nekuti paunoSticker ipapo satan anoita make sure kuti anokuparadza.

Kana waJoiner army iyi zvakuda kuti ukoke vamwe, invite others kuti vagamuchire Jesu, preach to them, let the word see the goodness of the Lord through your lifestyle. Jesu akasiya araira pana Matthew 28:19 akati endai naizvozve mudzidzise ndudzi dzose, muchivabhabhatidza muzita raBaba, neroMwanakomana neroMweya Mutsvene. We are supposed to invite others to join team Jesus.

Chi “Lone-ranger” hachishande muhondo iyi, zviya zvekuti unoda kurwa hondo uri wega. Yes I agree kuti nyaya yeruponeso ndeyako iwe munhu wakazvimirira uri wega but that’s not a valid reason yekuti urambe kubata basa raMwari nevamwe. We are soldiers and we need to work together, tinofanira kuita fellowship tichisangana sevatendi tichikurudzirana, nekuti just like in the army vane zvombo zvakasiyana siyana and kusiyana kwezvombo ikoko kunobatsira kuti vabatane and fight as a team than as individuals. Izvo zvekuda kurwa hondo uri wega nekaPistol kako zvine njodzi, wadii wabatana nevamwe so that vanopota vachikupawo zvombo zviri nani, maBullets akapera they can give you mamwe. Hebrews 10:25 yoti “Tisarega kuungana sezvinoita vamwe, asi tikurudzirane, zvikuru sei sezvamunoona kuti Zuva roswedera”

One of our best weapons muhondo iyi is prayer, we are supposed kuva vanhu vanogara vachitaura naMwari. Ihondo ipi yamunorwa without communicating neBase renyu, you need to communicate neBase renyu muchiudzwa information inokubatsirai and kuti muvaudzewo zvirikunetsa kwamuri. maBullets ave kupera kuno, please tipei mamwe, that’s the communication inodiwa, Mwari ndisimbisei ndave kupera simba, that’s the communication inodiwa, Haikona kurwa hondo iyi usina communication neMukuru wako.1 Thessalonians 5:17 yoti pray without ceasing. On the war front you can go for sometime musina chekudya. likewise hondo yedu iyi inotombodawo kuzvinyima zvekudya (fasting and prayer)

Imwe weapon zvekare is faith (kutenda), prayer on its own its not enough, panoda kuti munhu uve neFaith and Romans 10:17 yoti kutenda kunouya nekunzwa uye nekunza shoko raMwari, you need to feed on the word of GOD inorder for you to grow in faith.

Muhondo yakarwiwa muno muZimbabwe vaipota vachiimba maSongs, this strengthened them, kuBase kumaPungwe vane nziyo dzavaiimba ana Cde Chinx, izvi zvaiBoaster moral yavo. Even us Christian soldiers tine music inotisimudzira and not just any music but music ine maLyrics anoenderana neBible. Haizi music yese yese yatiri supposed kuterera, we must listen to music inoita kuti tiswedere pedyo naMwari. Music which encourages us to go on with this battle when we are weak

Kuhondo vanopfeka uniform, purpose yeUniform is for identification uye protection. Ungade kupfeka mapata-pata instead of majombo, ungade here kufamba usina bhutsu iwo majombo aripo. Muchamhanya nepane matombo ndipo uchaona kukosha kwazvo. Even for us maKristu tine kamupfekero katiri supposed kuita kasingatukise chiChristu but kanoita kuti nyika ione kuti ava vanhu ava they are different from us. Dressing yemuCivilian nemusoja ngaisiyane, dressing yemuChristu neyekunyika ngaisiyane, pfeka zvinoita kuti ziva raMwari rikudzwe. Dress decently not just zvePhysical dressing but also let’s be spiritually dressed sezvinodzidziswa on Ephesians 6:10-17

Hondo dzakanyorwa kubva muBible dzine maLessons akawanda which you can apply muhondo yemweya yatiri iri. Muyenzaniso hondo yeArmy yaitungamirwa naGideon pana Judges inotidzidzisa kuti Mwari vanogona kupa vanhu vake victory despite their few numbers, izvi zvondibatsira kuti ndizive kuti kunamata haizi nyaya yemaNumbers, munogona kuwanda but as long musiri pachokwadi chaMwari there is no salvation for you, munogona kuva vashoma but as long as muina Mwari you are safe, this is just one lesson of the many lessons dzatinowana from that story, and also in each and every battle iri muBible we can draw lessons from it Mweya Mutsvene achitizarurira

Zvakawanda zvinhu zvacho, and I encourage you kuti uverenge bible rako uwane zvizhinji zvaunodzidza from hondo dzirimo muBible. Lessons which you can apply into today’s battle

Mashoko ekuti Aluta Continua, haaperere ipapo but they continue obva anzi Victoria Acerta (or sometimes spelt as Victoria e certa) zvichireva izvo kuti Victory is Certain.

Aluta Continua, Victoria Acerta, (the struggle continues but victory is certain, hondo irikuenderera mberi asi naJesu tinokunda

Aluta Continua (the struggle continues) Part 1

One of the biggest mistake yaungaite mukati mehondo ndeye kufunga kuti hondo yapera but iyo isina, ugotanga kurarama kaLife kemunhu ari munzvimbo ine peace but iwe uri muWar zone, ugosiya maWeapons ako pasi uchiti hondo yapera but iyo isina. If you make this mistake unenge wazvipinza panguva yakaoma nekuti muvengi wako achakubatikidza wakavarairwa and will kill you,, apa you will be defensekss nechikonzero chekuti maWeapons wanga wasiya uchifunga kuti hondo yakapera. Usaite mistake yekufunga kuti hondo yapera, iyo isina.

Nhasi kwaita vamwe vanofunga kuti hondo yakapera, poitawo vamwe vanofunga kuti hakuna hondo but iyo iriko saka varikungoraramama sevanhu vasiri muhondo but ivo vari muhondo. The war yandiri kutaura nezvayo haizi hondo yechimurenga, kana hondo yeminda, kana world war, or war against maTerrorist but ihondo hombe kwazvo inopfura hondo dzese pasi pezuva. This is greatest battle ever & is big more than all wars that have been ever fought.

Tikaverenga pana Zvakazarurwa (Revelation) 12:7-9 tinonzwa Bible richitiudza kuti kurwa kwakavako kudenga, Michael mutumwa mukuru waMwari (Archangel) nevatumwa vake vakarwa neshato, shato ikarwa ina vatumwa vayo, but shato neTeam yake havana kukunda, nezvimbo yavo haina kuzowanikwa kudenga, shato iyi ndokukukandirwa panyika together with his team.

Ihondo yakaitika iyi and rechirungu rinobva rinyatsoti iro there was war in heaven. Verse 9 inobva yatipa identity yeshato iyi kuti nyoka iyi inonzi Diabhurosi (devil) nasatan munyengeri wenyika yose. satan nevatumwa vake (dzimwe ngirozi) vakaita hondo kudenga fighting against Micheal nevatumwa vake, team satan yakarohwa & was relegated from heaven. But rega kufunga kuti hondo yakapera., aiwa, hondo haina kupera.

pachiPutukezi (Portuguese) vanobva vati ivo ‘Aluta Continua’ zvichireva izvo kuti the struggles continues, kurwa kurikuenderera mberi unova musoro weino mharidzo

Verse 12 of that same chapter revelation 12 yobva yati “saka farai kudenga nemi munogarako. Mune nhamo imi nyika negungwa, nokuti mweya wakaipa waburukira kwamuri akatsamwa kwazvo nokuti unoziva kuti uchine nguva duku”

Maresidents ekudenga ndiwo ari suppose kufara nekuti satan nevatumwa vake havasisiko ikoko, vakarohwa vakadzingwa from that side, but kana uchiziva kuti unogara paEarth whether on dry land or the sea, hanzi neBible mune nhamo nekuti the devil has come down unto you nehasha nekuti he knows kuti ane nguva pfupi. Saka regai kufunga kuti hondo yakapera, ah ah, haina kupera, its still going on., manje ukada kuRelaxer uchirarama as if hondo yakapera you are going to be in trouble because satan achakubata wakavarairwa and haana tsitsi nemunhu.

Chakaita kuti kuve nehondo in the first place yaiva nhau yekuti imwe ngirozi yaMwari inonzi Lucifer yakava nekuzvikudza (pride), yakada kuzviyedza Mwari and ikada kunamatwa just like kunamatwa kunoitwa Mwari. (Isaiah 14:12-14) (Ezekiel 28:14-19). Lucifer aida kupandukira hurumende yaMwari & izvi haana kuzviita ega but akakwanisa kuConvincer one third (1/3) yedzimwe ngirozi. (Revelation 12:4). Izvo ndizvo zvakazokonzera kuti kudenga kuve nehondo, Michael Mutumwa mukuru waMwari nevamwe vatumwa vake avo vasina kupanduka they fought against Lucifer nevatumwa vake vakapanduka and Lucifer uyo avekuzivikanwa kunzi satan kana kuti devil or mweya yetsvina lost that battle. Vatumwa vake ndivo vanonzi in English ‘fallen angels’ nekuti vakadonha kubva kudenga or mademon kana kuti mweya yetsvina. Hondo haina kupera but yakachinja ground, yairwirwa kudenga but iye zvino yave kurwirwa pano pasi and hondo iyi involves munhu wese anogara paEarth.

And satan achiuya pano pasi mission yake ine zvinhu zvitatu according to John 10:10, Akauya kuzoparadza, kuzoba nekuuraya, to destroy, to steal and to kill, ndiyo mission yake. anoda kutambudza vanhu. Dhiyabhuriso atoripo pano panyika, haazi kuBermuda Triangle uko kuAntlatic ocean kunofungidzirwa nevamwe kuti ndiko kwaagere but here is a resident of this earth. At one point anobvunzwa naMwari kuti wabva kupi and anopindura kuti mukupota-pota panyika napakufamba famba pairi (Job 1:7). He is here on earth, and 1 Peter 5:8 inobva yatiudza purpose yake yekuswera achitendera nenyika kuti anofamba-famba achiomba seshumba inotsvaka waingadya.

Munhu wese arimo muhondo iyi, whether unozviziva or hauzvizive, whether you like it or you don’t urimo muhondo umu. Kunyangwe ukazviedza kunge uri muCivilian ziva kuti muhondo even maCivilians anofa futi, unofunga kuti kana zvichinzi paChimurenga pakafa vanhu, vanhu vaifa aiva masoldier aSmith chete or magandanga chete, aiwa, even maCivilians vanozviti isu hatina side ratakarereka vakatofawo. And worse kana uri civilian you are at a high risk kupfuura masoja nekuti kana pakatanga nyonga nyonga, unoshaya zvekuita, maWeapons to defend yourself hauna, training yekuti ukwanise kurarama in a war zone hauna, unofira muCross fire.

This is a very serious war and must be taken seriously, rega kufunga kuti uri muCivilian iwe usiri nekuti as long as uchigara paEarth you are involved in it nekuti hanzi satan akakandwa panyika patigere aine hasha huru, haana waanonzwira tsitsi. Jesu anotaura pana Matthew 12:30 kuti “Uyo asineni anopesana neni, nouyo asingaunganidzi neni anoparadza.. hakuna middle ground, as long as usiri kuside kwaJesu it means you are against Him by default. Hakuna zviya zvekunzi ahh ini handinamate hangu but ndinozviraramira hupenyu hwangu zvakanaka mukadzi handirove, handidhakwe, handina wandinobira, handina wandinotuka. As long as usina Jesu it means you are fighting against him. There is no middle ground. There is no “spiritual Switzerland” to hide in

Satan aida kunamatwa kudenga but zvakaramba and since he is now pano pasi, achiri kungoda kunamatwa chete nevanhu, he wants to be worshiped, ndiyo target yake iyoyo. That’s why pana Matthew unoona achiyedza Jesu kuti ukapfugama ukandinamata ndichakupa pfuma yese yepano pasi. And kana ndichiti the devil wants to be worshiped handingoreve kuti kuita minamato chete but issue yeWorship inobata zvinhu zvakawanda kwazvo, kuterera chaiko (obedience) irimo futi mukati meWorship nekuti kana uchizviti uri munhu anonamata Mwari you are supposed kuterera mitemo yake, saka satan zvaanoda ndezvekuti even though ukasapfugama uchimunamata iye satan, he wants kuti usaterere Mwari uite chivi, once you do so he knows kuti uri wake nekuti 1 John 3:8 uyo anoita zvakaipa ndowadhiabhori, nokuti dhiabhori akanga achingotadza kubva pakutanga.( he that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning). Devil chaanoda ndechekuti paite vamwe vanoramba kugamuchira Jesu nekuti anoziva kuti Jesu akauya kuzoparadza mabasa ake iya dhiyabhurosi. He also knows mashoko aJesu pana Matthew 12:30 kuti kana usiri kwaside kwaJesu, it means you are working against him (Jesus). As long as usiri kuside kwaJesu, satan anofara kwazvo nekuti anoziva kuti uri wake.

Hondo iyi ine 2 sides, kune side raMwari avo vakatipa Jesu kuti tive tinopona and poita side rasatan uyo anoda kuti tiparare. Chinorwadza ndechekuti kune vazhinji varikuside kwasatan and they don’t even know it, and poita vamwe vari kuside kwasatan but vanofunga kuti varikuside kwaJesu. Saka zvinokosha kuti munhu usarudze side rako wisely, ziva kurutivi kwauri, whether kwaMwari kubudikidza nekutenda muna Jesu or kwasatan kubudikidza nenzira dzakawanda dzinosanganisira kusatenda muna Jesu.

Dhiabhurosi akadzingwa kudenga, he knows the good life which exists ikoko & zvinomurwadza kuziva kuti Mwari vane programme yekuti vanhu vaende kudenga, zvinomurwadza kuziva kuti some people shall stay in the same place yaakadzingwa iye, saka anoda kuti usaende ikoko, ane hunhu hunenge hweEx-boyfriend/girlfriend yakarambwa nemunhu wayaidanana nayo, haadi kuti vamwe vadanane nemunhu iyeye, saka anofamba achitaura manyepo kune vamwe vanhu kuti vafunge kuti ex uyo is a bad person. iGame yeshaisano, iye akarambwa and haadi kuti paaite anyone anomuReplacer, satan akadzingwa kudenga and goes around achitaura zvakaipa pamusoro paMwari zvekunyepa so that vanhu vasina ruzivo vafunge kuti Mwari Vakaipa izvo nyamba iye satan ndiye akaipa. It is very sad kuti vamwe vanoto believer kuti Mwari wakaipa and satan ndiye akanaka, they have been deceived by the devil.

Kuna Ephesians 6;12 kwobva kwanzi hatirwe nenyama neropa asi nemweya yakaipa. This is not a physical warfare, but ihondo yemweya. Kureva kuti muvengi wako haizi chembere iya yawakaudzwa nemuporofita wenhema kuti irikukuroya, nekuti chembere iyoyo is made up of flesh and blood. Ihondo yemweya iyi, satan anoda kuti ufocuse pamunhu asiri iye, unoita life yese uchidzingirirana neWrong target and iye satan achikurova ari mugotsi mako nekuti hauzi kuziva munhu wauri kurwisana naye. Ipapa apa the devil has fooled many people, he has made them focus on the wrong target.

Nhai kubva pakafa sekuru vaye vainzi vaikuroyai, has your life changed for the better?, haina kuchinja, kureva kuti chamairwa nacho (mweya yetsvina) hachina kufa, what died was that sekuru vaishandiswa nasatan. Dealer nechiri kuseri kwemunhu than kupedza nguva uchinetsana nemunhu iyeye direct. Munhu iyeye anogona hake kufa but satan will raise up another person to replace uyo afa. Saka dealer neSource yeProblem, mhandu ndisatan, once you conquer him unenge wava neProtection inobva kuna Mwari zvekuti whatever tactic yaanoda kushandisa satan to get to you haishande because you are protected by GOD and the only way to get this protection is kugamuchira Jesu saIshe naMuponesi wako.

Aluta continua, hondo haina kupera, don’t put down your defense, its not over until its over.

Kuziva kuti uri muHondo its one thing, kuziva kuti unokunda sei hondo iyi, its another thing also, saka lets meet zvekare in the next mharidzo apo we get to share kuti hondo iyi tinoikunda sei. Lets meet paPart 2 and remember to pray for ini muparidzi kuti ndive ndinoparidza shoko rezvokwadi uye pray for yourself also kuti uve unogamuchira zvokwadi yacho.

City set on a Hill

Scripture reading: Matthew 5:14

Pane mubvunzo wandakambosangana nawo, at first I took it lightly but nhasi ndanyatsodzamisa ndangariro ndikaona kuti it is a serious issue:

lets says kwaiswa mutemo unoti kuva muChristu imhosva inosungisa & mapurisa obva atanga basa ravo rekusunga vanhu. Toti munhu wese anozviti muChristu osungwa handiti, then mapurisa voita maInvestigations avo zvakanaka kuti vakwanise kuzonyora docket uye kuti nyaya yako iende kuCourt, How many people vanosunungurwa nekuti panenge pashayikwa evidence yekuti maChristu?

ndiri kuti inini nhasi ukasungirwa nyaya yekunzi uri muChristu, mapurisa vanogona here kuwana humbowo hunotaridza kuti uri muChristu zvechokwadi or they will release you vachiti vashaya evidence inotaridza kuti uri muChristu wechokwadi.

Usandipindure (keep the answer in your heart)

Kutaura chokwadi vamwe vanobuditswa mumaCells vachinzi muri kumunyepera uyu haazi muChristu and vamwe havatosungwe nekuti hapana chinotaridza kuti muChristu. Dressing chaiyo inogona kutoita kuti mumwe asunungurwe, Officer in Charge anogona kutopopotera maJuniors ake kuti ndakutii huyai nemaChristu panapa but imi murikundiigira ana sisi vemuNight club ava, can’t you see kuti dressing yavo havazi maChristu, kamani regedzai vanhu vamasunga ava mundiigire maChristu

Shuwa mumwe anotoregedzwa nekuti hapana chinotaridza kuti mutendi nekuti dressing yake chaiyo yakafanana neinopfekwa nenzenza kubhawa.

Mumwe anosiiwa akadaro havamusunge nekuti Bible chairo haana kwete nekuti haana mari yekutenga Bible, aiwa mari anayo but haana hanya neshoko raMwari, phone ane ye$50 yaanoJuicer airtime ye$5 paWeek, but Bible re$15 haana, the closest book to a Bible raanaro is a kaGideon kaakapihwa kuchikoro mahara, kanotangira pana Matthew 14 kachigumira munzira futi, maPage akapera kubvaruka. Police inonyatsoona yega kuti ava bhudhi ava havanei nezveshoko raMwari so he can’t be a Christian, regai timusiye tiende kunosunga vatendi chaivo

language alone inogona kutoita kuti mumwe munhu abviswe chain vachimuti haana mhosva nekuti rough yaanotaura, iko kutuka kwacho, police inomuregedza nekuti vanenge vachiti Jesu haana kubvira adzidzisa vatendi vake kutaura mashoko akadai, he never taught His followers kutaura huyanga hwakadai, muregedzei adzokere kumba, uyu haana mhosva, maChristu chaivo tinovaziva nekupindura zvakanaka even if vakaitwa rough. Uyu mutauriro hwake hauna huMwari

maInvestigations anogona kutobatanidzira nePhone futi, Constable vagodzungudza musoro vachiti tasunga munhu asiriye, muPhone make mune maPictures evanhu vasina kupfeka, music yacho irimo haina kana huMwari, in actual fact inototuka Mwari, whatsapp yake ari busy kuFliter nevasikana vakasiyana siyana, haaa tasunga munhu asiriye, hakuna muChristu akadai, lack of evidence, musiyei aende kumba

even ikaenda kuCourt nyaya yacho, Magistrate vanototsamwa kuti sei muchitiunzira vanhu vasina mhosva, muregedzei aende uyu nekuti panenge pashayikwa evidence yakakwana inotaridza kuti you are a true Christian.

What im a saying? Ndiri kuti kana uri muChristu, pane zvinhu zviri obvious zvekuti nyika ichikutarisa iri supposed kungoona kuti uyu muChristu uyu. Mapfekero ako people are not supposed to doubt kuti uri mutendi, the way you speak, vanhu havafanire kunetsekana but vanotoziva kuti uyu kunyangwe ukamugumburisa anokupindura zvakanaka. Kana pabasa chaipo vega vanotozviona kuti sister ava kana tikatanga kuita makuhwa vanobva vasuduruka, havaite izvozvo, brother ava kana tikada kuita zvemadhiri eBackdoor vanobva vasuduruka, kwete nekuti vakapusa asi vanotya Mwari. chiChristu chiri supposed kungooneka wherever kwauri

Regai ndibva ndajekesa something before mumwe asati andibata nepasipo, handina kuti if you go around uchizvinyepedzera kunge uri muChristu it means kuti wava muChristu, aiwa, ndiri kuti kana uri muChristu, its automatic kuti kwese kwaunoenda zvese zvaunoita zvinobva zvataridza zvega kuti shuwa uri muChristu, you don’t have to force yourself or pretend but zvinogobuda zvega so nekuti Jesu wawakagamuchira ndiye anenge achishanda mauri.

That’s why Paul achinyora pa Galatians 2:20 achiti “Ndakarovererwa pamwe chete naKristu uye handichisiri ini ndinorarama, asi Kristu anorarama mandiri. Kurarama kwandinako munyama, ndinorarama nokutenda muMwanakomana waMwari, akandida uye akazvipa nokuda kwangu.

Its no longer you who is living but Christ is living in you saka zvinova nyore kuva neCharacter yakafanana naJesu wacho. Evidence yacho inogara yatoonekwa nevanhu

Jesu anodzidzisa pana Matthew 5:14 achiti You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. “Imi muri chiedza chenyika. Guta riri pamusoro pegomo haringavanziki.

Nhai hama dzangu, guta riripamusoro pegomo mungarivige sei, how exactly can you hide it, hapana mahwandisiro, rinotooneka muri kure kuti guta iro. muChristu you are a like a city that is on a hill, hazviite kuti urege kuonekwa kuti uri muChristu, handina kuti famba uchitsvaga kuzivikanwa but ndirikuti if you just live as Christ requires you to do, zvinotooneka zvega kuti uyu muChristu uyu. From afar the world can see.

You are the light of the world, uri chiyedza chenyika, manje kana light rabatidzwa vanhu vangatadze here kuona kuti apo pane light, obvious zvinooneka. The people around you vanotoona vega kuti uye muChristu uyu even if usina kuvaudza, they know you by your character. They know kuti kana dziri nyaya dzehuori, Joze haumuone ipapo. Kana dziri nyaya dzehupombwe, Admire haafarise kusvika to that level, kana zviri zvekupa advice inobva muBible, Spencer ndiyo speciality yake iyoyo. The world can clearly see kuti uyu akasiyana nevamwe vese, there is something special about him

Chinotipa kuti tive maLight hakuzi kugona kwedu asi kuti Jesus who is the light ndiye anorarama matiri, saka light rake iye ndiro rinenge richivhenekera nyika through us. John 1:4 yoti In him was life; and the life was the light of men. Muna Jesu maiva noupenyu, uye upenyu ihwohwo hwaiva chiedza chavanhu. Kureva kuti ukagamuchira hupenyu hunobva kuna Jesu kubudikidza nekutenda maari, that light rinobva ratanga kuraramawo mauri. You cannot produce the light pasina connection neSource yeLight anova Jesu, hazviite. You need to be connected naJesu so that you become a light to the world, so that you become a city set on a hill. That’s why John 15:5 ichibuditsa kuti pasina Jesu you can do nothing, hapana chaunokwanisa kuita.

Saka uchida kuva chiedza chenyika, gamuchira Jesu.

paVerse 15 yaMatthew 5 Jesu oti “Uye vanhu havangatungidzi mwenje vagouisa pasi pedengu. Asi kutoti vanouisa pachigadziko kuti uvhenekere vose vari mumba.

Mwari havana kubatidza mwenje uri mauri kuti uite mu “under cover Christian” muChristu asingazivikanwe kunzi muChristu anoonekwa just like any other person of the world, kwete, Mwari Vakakuitira nyasha dzekuti ugamuchire chiyedza so that uvhenekerewo vamwe kuti vaone kunaka kwaivo Mwari. you are supposed kupa chiyedza kunyika kwete kuhwanda pasi pedengu.

Ndopedzisa neVerse 16 apo Jesu anoti “Nenzira imwe cheteyo, chiedza chenyu ngachivhenekere pamberi pavanhu kuti vaone mabasa enyu akanaka, vagokudza Baba venyu vari kudenga.”

Character yako, matauriro, how you dress, how you relate with others, everything about you zviri supposed kuva chiyedza chekuti vanhu vakaona vanokudza Mwari Baba vari kudenga, vanhu havasi supposed kukudza iwewe (saka don’t try hako to earn credit for yourself) but shoko ririkuti chiyedza chako ngachivhenekere pamberi pavanhu kuti vaone mabasa enyu akanaka, vagokudza Baba venyu vari kudenga. Nyika ichikuona, ngaione kunaka kwaMwari, kwete kuti vakakuona they see you like any other person asina kugamuchira Jesu

Let it be clear that uri waJesu, ngaparege kuva nemaDoubts kunzi uri muChristu here kana kuti hauzi .

Jesu aripo pakutibatsira kuti chiyedza ichi chivhenekere nyika, call unto him in prayer, He will answer you.

Upi Wacho?

Scripture reading: Matthew 24:5

I remember joke yaitaurwa pamusoro paThe Late Dr Zvobgo, zvainzi kumba kwavo vainge vakadzidza kwazvo zvekuti kwainge kwakazara maDoctors ega ega And ukafona paLandline wobva wati can i please speak to Doctor Zvobgo, waibvunzwa kunzi upi wacho nekuti pano pamba pakazara ane Dr Zvobgo vakasiyana siyana

You had to be specific

Even in different areas dzatinorarama zviriko futi. Kana vanhu vakaita the same name or same title unofanira kunyatso specifier kuti urikutaura upi chaiye

Urikudiwa naJohn. Munhu anobvunza kuti John upi wacho nekuti anaJohn varipano vakawanda

Guard adzingwa basa. Munhu anokubvunza kuti guard upi wacho nekuti pano apa we have ana guard vakawanda. You have to be specific kana pangoita vanhu vakawanda vane the same name or title

Nhasi musoro wemharidzo is a question. Nhasi mharidzo irikubvunza kuti “Upi Wacho”. Which one exactly

Nyika yazara nevanhu vanozviti maChristu senge kana iri Zimbabwe inobva yanzi it’s a Christian nation zvichireva izvo kuti majority yevanhu vari muno munyika vanotenda munaJesu Christu. Haungaite muChristu pasina Christu wacho. How can you be a Christian without Christ. Mumwe akabva ataura akati i am a Christian and pasina Christ I AM NOTHING. Kubisa Christ from Christian panosara 3 leters i-a-n zvabva zvanzi nemutauri i-a-n wacho anomirira I Am Nothing, kureva kuti if you take away Christ from a Christian panosara pasina chinhu. Hazviite kuti uve muChristu pasina Christu wacho

iye Jesu Christu wacho mumwe chete, hakuna mumwe Jesu Christu kunzi kwaiye watakapihwa naMwari Baba kuti ani nani anotenda maari arege kufa asi ave nehupenyu husingaperi. Hakuna mumwe Jesu other than uyo akatifira pamuchinjiokwa akamuka nezuva retatu

Saka kana tichiti tinotenda muna Jesu Christu then what we believe in is supposed to be the same, zvatinotenda mazviri hazvifanire kusiyana since tichitenda muna Jesu mumwe chete

But ukazvitarisa maChristu tinotenda muzvinhu zvakasiyana siyana yet we claim to believe in one Jesus Christ. Pane zvimwe zvinhu zviri very minor zvekuti tinogona kuita muonero wakasiyana but poita mamwe maMajor issues ekuti unoona vanhu vachiva nemuonero wakasiyana very different views. Kureva kuti pane chirikukonzera izvozvo and nhasi ndipo patiri kuda kubata, nekuti bible rinotiudza pana 1 Corinthians 14:33 kuti For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. (Nokuti Mwari haazi Mwari wenyonganyonga asi worugare Sezvinoitwa mune dzimwe kereke dzose dzavatsvene,)

Zvinhu zvaMwari hazvisi zveconfusion kureva kuti kana paita confusion satan ndiye anenge akonzeresa

Kana Jesu ari mumwe chete ko why zvinotendwa zvacho zvichisiyana? Chimwe chikonzero inhau yekuti ana christu vanotendwa nevanhu ndivo vasiyana. Hongu Jesu Christu mumwe chete but satan aripo pakuCreator vamwe anachristu veFake kuti arasise vanhu. If we read pana Matthew 24:5 Jesu achiporofita nezvemaEnd time events anotaura achiti “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many”.( Nokuti vazhinji vachauya muzita rangu vachiti, ‘Ndini Kristu,’ uye vachinyengera vazhinji)

its very true kuti kune vazhinji vakapinda muvanhu vachinyepa kuti ndivana Christu, but iko kuina Christu mumwe chete but panoita vamwe vanofamba vachizviedza kunge ndivo Christu. They are counterfeits, varevi venhema varipo pakuda kurasisa vanhu

But nyaya haigumire ipapo, the devil knows kuti kana akasimudza an ordinary person ofamba achizviti ndini Jesu, very few people will buy that. He won’t succeed nekuti vazhinji vane some knowledge inovanzvengesa pahunyengeri hwakapusa kudaro. Saka satan uses another approach, instead yekuti atume munyengeri anouya achizviti ndini Christu, he sends someone to preach umwe christu asiri Christu chaiye. Unoparidzirwa umwe Jesu waunoshaya kuti nhai ndiye here Jesu wandinoziva wemuBible uyu kana kuti ava mumwe. At the end of the day mupfungwa dzako munosara mava ne a fake Jesus, a non-existent Christ.

Mundangariro dzevanhu munosara muine ana Christu vakasiyana siyana, vamwe ndivo vanotenda muna christu anovabhadharisa mari kuti vapone, vanotenda muna christu anovabhadharisa healing but uyo Christu wepana matthew 10:8 anoti poresai mahara havamude, vamwe ndivo vanotenda muna christu anodzidzisa revenge but uyo Christu anovadzidzisa kuregerera havamude. Vamwe ndivo vanotenda muna christu anovaudza kuti the lack of money is the root of all evil. Uyo anoti the love of money is the root of all evil havamude. Dambudziko nderekuti kune ana christu vagadzirwa nedzidziso dziri wrong.

Munhu anenge achitoti ndakagamuchira Jesu but chinozoshamisa is what that person believes in, ndizvo zvinokupa kuDoubter kuti ummmm, ndiJesu upi arikutaurwa uyu, ndiJesu weNazareta here or kune mumwe watisingazive

Saka nhasi mubvunzo uri kuti “Upi wacho”, which one exactly, buda pachena kuti Christu waunotenda maari ndeupi wacho, is He the Jesus Christu Muponesi akafa pamuchinjikwa akamuka or ndeumwe christu wawakagadzira mupfungwa dzako anokubvumidza kuita zvese zvaunoda. Ndeupi Christu wamunotenda maari,

Vana veIsrael vakambobatsirana naProphet Aaron vakagadzira mwari wavo wegold, chimhuru chegold ndicho chavainge vave kunamata pana Exodus 32.

Zvichida vanhu vave nechristu wavo wavakagadzira nevafundisi vavo ana Aaron, you never know. Chimhuru chegold chekuti hachikutsiure kana ukaita hupombwe, kana ukaba hachikutsiure, kana ukatuka hachina zvachinotaura, izvo zvaMwari chaiye anopa mutemo wekuti usabe haadiwe nevanhu, Mwari anoti usaite hupombwe haadiwe, vanhu vanogadzira wavo mwari wegold, Christu anotsiura kubudikidza neshoko rake haadiwe, vanhu vanoda wavo christu asingavatsiure anoti itai zvese zvamunoda

Nyaya yacho inotoda kuti munhu umbozvinzvera kuti Christu wandiri kutenda maari ndiye here uye kana kuti ndiri kutenda munana christu veFake vandakagadzira ndega or vandakagadzirirwa nasatan, ndiyo inonzi naPaul pana 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know you not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Zviedzei imi pachenyu muone kana muri pakutenda; zviedzei pachenyu. Munoziva here kuti Jesu ari mukati menyu, kunze kwokutoti makakundikana

zvinotoda kuti munhu ugare pasi and consider zvaunotenda kuti ndizvo here zvinodzidziswa neBible, ukaona uchitenda mune zvinopikisa dzidziso yeBible ziva kuti suspect,

Ephesians 4:5 yoti One Lord, one faith, one baptism, ndinoda kuisa emphasis pana ONE FAITH, kutenda kumwe chete. One faith iyi tinoiwana muBible nekuti Romans 10:17 inoti faith comes by hearing and by hearing the word of GOD. ngatidzokerei kuBible, ngatidzokerei kushoko raMwari, totora kutenda kwedu from the Bible, lets study our Bibles prayerfully, tichitungamirirwa neMweya Mutsvene uye tiine moyo iri willing kuAccepter zvokwadi yaMwari, tirege kuzvigadzirira vamwe ana christu vasingapindirane neshoko raMwari, asi tigamuchire Jesus Christu the Only begotten son of GOD uyo akafira nyika yose kuti ani nani anotenda maari arege kufa asi ave nehupenyu husingaperi. Only Him can save us and not vamwe vese avo vanogadzirwa nasatan

License to sin (Part 2)

Scripture reading: Acts 9:1-5

In part 1 of this sermon takabata nyaya yekuti unogona kupihwa mvumo nevanhu or nemaAuthorities epanyika kuti utadzire Mwari but hazvireve kuti ndiMwari vakubvumidza kuita chivi ichocho. Nhasi tinoda kubata another serious angle to this issue irikurasisa vanhu vazhinji.

Pana Acts 9:1-5 takaona Sauro achienda kumuprista mukuru akandomukumbira matsamba kuti agoenda nawo kumasinagoge okuDhamasiko, kuti kana akawana ani zvake anotenda muna Jesu avasunge agoenda navo kuJerusarema. Sauro aitova ‘munhu wechurch’, aitova mumwe vevaPharisee and mhosva dzaaipara idzi dzekuuraya vatendi aitodziita achiti arikubata basa raMwari. That’s why uchiona kuti akaenda kunokumbira matsamba from a religious authority (High Priest), munhu aitovawo nechigaro munhau dzekunamata.

Ivo vakuru ava vanzi neBible High Priest vanopa Sauro matsamba ekutadzira Mwari. tirikurarama munguva yekaipa kwazvo zvekuti kutorine vakuru mukati memaChurch vanopa vanhu matsamba (kodzero) yekuti vatidzire Mwari. havasi vese vakuru mukati mekunamata vanoshandira Mwari, vamwe they serve the devil knowingly & unknowingly & type iyoyo inotokupa permission yekuti utadzire Mwari.

Hausati wanzwa here kune dzimwe nyika like South Africa kune maPastor anochatisa ngochani, kupa vanhu kodzero yekuti vatadzire Mwari

Sauro aigona kutofara kwazvo kuti zvandiri kuita izvi zviri right nekuti ndapihwa approval naHigh priest, but even though zviine approval yemunhu it remains a sin before GOD. hazvisi zvese zvaunopihwa go ahead nemukuru weChurch zvinoreva kuti zvakanaka pamberi paMwari. Munogona kufara aSauro kuti kereke yenyu inokubvumidzai kuzvambaradza vatendi vaJesu, but iye Mwari achiramba zvinhu izvozvo, munogona kufara sisi kuti kereke yenyu inokubvumidzai kutyora maCommandments aMwari, but ivo Mwari vasingafare nazvo. Saka nyaya haizi yekuti mukuru wechurch ati kudii but consider kuti Mwari vanoti kudii. Remember GOD is above your church leader and the Bible is above any church doctrine.

To make matters worse, Sauro aiita zvinhu izvi achifunga kuti arikuitira Mwari zvakanaka but iye achitokanya. Tinogona kuita zvimwe zvinhu tichifunga kuti zvinofadza Mwari yet vasingazvide. Problem ichibvira pakuti we sought the approval of men, rather than from GOD Himself.

High Priest anogona kutopa Sauro matsamba ekubata mabasa akaipa, licenses to sin. Mukuru wechurch anogona kutokupai matsamba anonzi doctrine anokubvumidzai kutaridza Mwari, and mugofara kwazvo muchiti haaa isu kuChurch kwedu hakuna problem tinobvumidzwa this and that, but iyo this & that yacho ichirambwa naMwari.

Sauro aive nematsamba ekutambudza maChristu he thought he was doing the correct thing and akati oswedera kuDhamasiko ari parwendo rwake, pakarepo chiedza chakabva kudenga chikamupenyera kumativi ose. Akawira pasi akanzwa inzwi richiti kwaari, “Sauro, Sauro, unonditambudzireiko?” Sauro akabvunza akati, “Ndimi aniko, Ishe?” Iye akapindura akati, “Ndini Jesu wauri kutambudza

my prayer ndeyekuti pandange ndichiparidza kudai, there is someone anzwa Jesu achitaura mumoyo make achibvunza kuti Nhai Sauro Sauro unotambudzireiko, nhai John John unonditambudzireiko, nhai Linda Linda unonditambudzireiko, deep down wonyatsoona kuti nyaya irikutaurwa apa ndeyako. pane zvinhu zvawaibata nekuti wakapihwa approval nevanhu, vangave maAuthorities enyika or vakuru vechurch, vakakupa a license to disobey GOD, a license to enter into sin but you have realised kuti it was wrong.

kana uripo munhu akadaro, Bibe nhasi ririkuti kuna Acts 17:30 Mwari akarega hake kurangarira nguva dzakare dzokusaziva kwakadai, asi zvino anorayira vanhu vose kwose kwose kuti vatendeuke.

You did it nekusaziva, wakatyora mitemo yaMwari because you didn’t know & Mwari vanoregerera nguva idzodzo, but now that you know Mwari Varikuti tendeuka usiye zvakaipa, repent and be baptised for the forgiveness of sins and you will receive the Gift of The Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)

Chiregazve kutsvaga approval yevanhu kuti upinde muchivi, kwete, kunyangwe ukapihwa permission yekutadzira Mwari, don’t use it.

Don’t be fooled, there is no license to sin, but there is Power in Jesus to Overcome sin

License to sin (Part 1)

Scripture reading: Acts 9:1-5

Pane zvimwe zvinhu panyika zvatisingakwanise kuita kana tisina license or mapepa anotipa mvumo yekuita zvinhu izvozvo from certain authorities, common example yandingape ndeye kuDriver mota. Mutemo wenyika doesn’t allow you kuti uDrive mota usina matsamba acho anokubvumidza kuDriver mota. Nhau yematsamba anonzi maLicence iyi inhau yakanaka kwazvo but there is a certain angle yaari kushandiswa nawo nasatan to his benefit & to the destruction of the people yandiri kuda kubata nhasi.

Tikaverenga isusu pana Mabasa Avapositori (Acts) 9 verses 1 & 2 inoti “Zvichakadaro Sauro akanga ari mubishi rokutaura zvokuuraya vadzidzi vaShe. Akaenda kumuprista mukuru. akandomukumbira matsamba kuti agoenda nawo kumasinagoge okuDhamasiko, kuti kana akawana ani zvake ari weNzira iyo, vangava varume kana vakadzi, iye aizovabata savasungwa agoenda navo kuJerusarema.”

Apo tirikuona murume anonzi Sauro mazuva ake asati atendeuka, murume uyu aishungurudza vanhu vanotenda muna Jesu, murume uyu aitouraya vanhu (Acts 22:4). But mukuita zvivi zvake izvi Bible ratiudza kuti Sauro akaenda kumuprista mukuru (The High Priest) kuti apihwe matsamba ekuenda nawo kuSinagoge in Damascus kuti akawana any believer waJesu Christu amusunge auye naye kuJerusalem. Murume uyu haana kungopinda muchivi zvedzungu-dzungu but akatotanga atsvaga matsamba anomubatsira kuti apinde muchivi

Nhasi kune vamwe vanototsvaga matsamba ekuti vapinde muchivi, they look for licenses to sin, letters to indulge in sin & satan anofara zvisingaite he is very much willing kuti akupei matsamba iwayo so that munopinda muchivi makadekara.
Sauro akapihwa matsamba ekuti aite mabasa ake erima but ukadzika neChapter yacho ndipo unozoona achisangana naJesu onzi “Sauro, Sauro, unonditambudzireiko?”. Sauro aitotadzira Mwari nezvaaiita izvi despite the fact yekuti ainge apihwa matsamba ekuti aite mabasa ake akaipa. Kureva kuti matsamba aya haana kukwanisa kubvisa the element of sin.

Musabatwe kumeso hama dzangu, hakuna matsamba aungapihwe nemunhu anogona kuita kuti chivi chirege kuva chivi. Brother kune dzimwe nyika dzekuti munogona kupihwa tsamba iya inonzi marriage certificate iwewe nemumwe murume paRelationship yehungochani, but tsamba iyoyo haireve kuti huchongani hauchisiri chivi, it remains a sin. Unogona kupihwa license yekuvhura strip club umo vasikana vanotamba vachikumura mbatya dzavo pamberi pevarume, but license iroro harireve kuti zvauri kuita zvakanaka pamberi paMwari.

Matsamba akapihwa Sauro nemuHigh Priest haana kuPreventer kuti Jesu atsiure Sauro pamusoro pemabasa akaipa aiibata aya. NO, they didn’t. never for a minute think kuti satan achakupa matsamba anoita kuti chivi chirege kuva chivi never. Chinondibata ndechekuti panyika Sauro anogona kushairwa mhosva yaapara nekuti matsamba anawo anomupa mvumo yekuita zvaari kuita but kunyangwe zvakadaro, pamberi paMwari aiva aine mhosva. Amainini munogona kushairwa mhosva nemaSystems enyika, business renyu ramuri kuita iri nehuipi hwaro munogona kushairwa mhosva nenyika but ipo pamberi paMwari muine mhosva.

You can even go to court ukahwina nyaya uchinzi hauna mhosva but ipo pamberi paMwari uine mhosva. Saka don’t be comforted nematsamba anokushaisa mhosva pane vanhu but achikupa mhosva pamberi paMwari.
Unogona kutoresa peace order against someone kuti nhingi handidi kumoona pamba pangu & for sure igoshanda peace order iyoyo but mubvunzo wangu ndewekuti as a Christian is it proper kutora peace order against anyone? Mubvunzo uyu, handina kuti musatore maPeace order, handina kudaro but ndirikuti zvakanaka here pamberi paMwari izvozvo , ko mamboedza here kushandisa nzira dzinodzidziswa neBible maringe nenyaya yekuyananisana kana muchinge matadzirana.

Mutemo wenyika yedu yeZimbabwe munhu ane 18 years ane kodzero yekutora zvinodhaka. Hazvisungise kuti munhu ane 18 years or above adhakwe neAnything chiripamutemo wenyika, even though zvisingasungise, Bible rondiudza kuti drunkards shall not inherit the kingdom of GOD. (1 Corinthians 6:10)

Unogona kutopinda basa rinokupa matsamba ekushungurudza vanhu, kuvarova, kuvatorera zvinhu zvavo and many other evils but mubvunzo wangu ndewekuti Mwari Vanotendera here zvinhu zvauri kuita izvozvo? don’t let your job make you miss heaven. Remember that time vanhu vaidzingwa mabasa with little or no compensation maCompany achihwanda nemutemo, they had the papers to do so so, but Bible rinoti kudii panyaya yekubhadhara vashandi vako, Biblically speaking was it proper to fire a person without giving him/her just & fair compensation?

Poita nyaya yemaRights, vana vavekugona kuDisrepecter mubereki all in the name of children’s rights, vanawo matsamba acho, they have the laws to support them, but iwo mutemo waMwari unoti kudii concerning relationship yemwana nemubereki.

paCarnival muharare 2015 uno, im sure vazhinji makaona maPictures acho aitenderera, vanhu vachifamba vari half naked because they had the approval to do so, but zvinotenderwa naMwari here kuti munhu afambe akadaro

There are many examples dzandinogona kupa about zvinoitika munyika where you are given matsamba anokubvumidza kuita something but chinhu ichocho chisingadiwe naMwari. standard yaMwari is very much higher than standard yenyika, so kana nyika yakupa mvumo yekuita something, don’t rush into celebration but tanga waChecker kuti Mwari vanoti kudii about that same issue.

Mumwe anobva aita mubvunzo kuti saka nhai muparidzi murikuti tirege here kuterera mitemo wenyika, NO, handina kudaro but let me clarify it.
Bible pana Romans 13 rinotidzidzisa kutedzera mitemo yenyika, ndicho chiChristu chaicho. But at the same time kana pakaita mutemo wenyika unodzidzisa kutyora mutemo waMwari, zviri nani kutedzera mutemo waMwari than mutemo wenyika. Ana Peter at one point in time they were faced with a similar problem, whether kutedzera zvinotaura Mwari or zvinotaura vanhu, Peter akati pana Acts 5:29 We ought to obey GOD rather than men (“Tinofanira kuteerera Mwari kukunda vanhu)

Another time pakaiswa mutemo wenyika waimanikidza vanhu kuti vanamate chiumbwa chaNebucadnezzar, but Shadrach, Meshach naAbednego vakasarudza havo kukandirwa mumoto pane kunamata chitombi ichi. Vakasarudza kutyora mutemo wenyika than kutyora mutemo waMwari (Daniel 3)

Pharaoh ane nguva yaakapa maMidwives (nyamukuta) permission yekuti vauraye vanakomana vese as soon as vazvarwa, but maMidwives ava vaitya Mwari uyo anoti usauraye, so vakasarudza kuterera mutemo waMwari than mutemo waPharaoh (Exodus 1:15-20)

Ndiri kuti kupihwa go ahead yekupinda muchivi nenyika hakureve kuti ndiMwari Vakubvumidza kuita chivi. kana mutemo wenyika uchikukonzera kuti utyore mutemo waMwari then tedzera mutemo waMwari. But kana mutemo wenyika usingakukangise kuita zvinoda Mwari then no problem. Mufundisi kana mutemo wenyika yamuri kushanda muri uchikumanikidzai kuchatisa ngochani, don’t follow it but tedzera mutemo waMwari.

In short, usatsvage approval yevanhu kuti utadzire Mwari, men can give you the authority to sin, but a sin will remain a sin
