Studying the word of GOD in Swahili.

Hello all!

I do pray that you all are well, and will be blessed by the HOLY Spirit from reading GODS word.

It is few and far between (as how my parents would say) when you will meet another person who loves GOD. But when you happen to meet another brother or sister in LORD it is another member of the body of CHRIST JESUS!

And this has happened to me. I met a beautiful woman from Africa who loves GOD! She is a blessing. Because in this world where people honor evil and not good, it is truly a union of GODLY souls

As we stay in prayer and praise our GOD we both put GOD first. As we all do who love GOD.

GOD the creator and is more important to us than all of the world. HE and HIS SON JESUS comes first at all times as I see it. For putting anything before them is not righteous and a mistake.

So this will include in who and how we relate to our fellow Mankind. For to be lead by GOD is to be lead righteously.

I am sharing with you the Swahili version of some scripture we were sharing!

John 3:14-16
[14]And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Na kama vile Musa alivyomwinua yule nyoka jangwani, vivyo hivyo Mwana wa Adamu hana budi kuinuliwa;
[15]That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
ili kila mtu aaminiye awe na uzima wa milele katika yeye.
[16]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Kwa maana jinsi hii Mungu aliupenda ulimwengu, hata akamtoa Mwanawe pekee, ili kila mtu amwaminiye asipotee, bali awe na uzima wa milele.

John 3:17-18
[17]For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Maana Mungu hakumtuma Mwana ulimwenguni ili auhukumu ulimwengu, bali ulimwengu uokolewe katika yeye.
[18]He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Amwaminiye yeye hahukumiwi; asiyeamini amekwisha kuhukumiwa; kwa sababu hakuliamini jina la Mwana pekee wa Mungu.

I was inspired by the friend I have made from Africa. So as to tell you all to look outside of bubble of what is your comfort zone is. And share the word and joy of the word of GOD with others who may speak another language than your own.

And to just think. With all of the languages, dialics, and cultures out there in this world our beloved FATHER GOD can understand each and every soul that cries out to HIM!

Proverbs 18:24
[24]A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Ajifanyiaye rafiki wengi ni kwa uangamivu wake mwenyewe; Lakini yuko rafiki aambatanaye na mtu kuliko ndugu.

Faith to the one and only true living GOD. Not “mammon “!

Mammon in Hebrew (ממון) means “money”. The word was adopted to modern Hebrew to mean wealth.

Hello everyone,

Thank you all for stopping by this blog today. I do pray that all is well with you and your loved ones.

Not everyone loves GOD or will be equally yoked with you. Even if they Say that they pray to GOD. It may not be the same one and only true living GOD you pray to. It could be mammon.

They could be Buddhist, or J.W.”S worshipping in a kingdom hall. Or something like money that a particular person might worship and love more than our beloved GOD or mankind.

It is hard to find other like minded people who truly do love GOD and are saved. For many people these days do not even know GOD and HIS SON JESUS. They may have never been told about them.

All they may know is how to make money, in any way shape or form. Not thinking about the negative consequences that will come from it.

Matthew 6:24
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

King James Version (KJV)

This is sad when I meet those who are care less about others and only seek to gain some fame and fortune thru money. Being popular and well liked only because of money.

Always having a crowd of people about them, and when the money is done and gone so are the so called friends. Their paper “god” has left them to be with others filling their pockets for a time being. Until that whole process is repeated with the next lost soul.

The GOD I serve has never left me ever. And HE never will leave me. Our beloved FATHER GOD loves me. He said so thru sending HIS only begotten Son JESUS to save our souls.

Trust on GOD for what you need. Not people, things or money that will b never last forever. GOD will though, for GOD is eternal!

Deuteronomy 33:27

“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.”

King James Version (KJV)

GOD is our refuge. A safe place. A good place. A loving place to dwell in as well!

Please do click on the like button below. Share this blog, and give encouragement to others. Money can never buy happiness . For we should tell others the good news about our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS!

Peace and blessings be to you all now and forever!

Proverbs Chapter 6:23-25.Our GOD’s moral code.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Proverbs Chapter 6

23 For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life:

24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

Hello all.

The moral code made by our beloved FATHER GOD. Many don’t know what it is. And it is very clear that many of this day and age have not read GOD’S word. They may not even own a Bible. And if they do, may not even know where they have put it. And this maybe the main reason why there is such a negative aura about the air these days with some people. They do not know how to have Godly social skills and to be respectful from not reading GOD’s word.

The way how not only we treat the people who are around us, but the earth it self. We need to be good and to treat others good, along with the earth we live on. For we need the earth too be good and healthy a well too.

But when we are lost and have strayed away from the teachings that our beloved GOD has given us as instruction in HIS word as how to live stress free, we will have stress. Stress that we may have caused ourselves or to each other. Knowingly or not. The Bible will instruct us and even give us examples on how to live right by GOD with seeing the mistakes our elders of the Bible has done.

Reading the Bible not only as a guide to life , it is a comfort too. You know GOD is all good and loving. And is giving us all a choice as to be with HIM or not when our time is done here on earth as we know it. There is no reason to blame GOD for people going to hell. We all make the choice as to where our soul will dwell by either accepting JESUS as our savoir, repentance, and making the choice to be right in GOD;s eyes.

So life is filled with our beloved GOD and HIS son JESUS as our leaders in the direction as to the path to heaven where there is a bounty of love , peace and joy there. No evil, no pain, no crying, no torment, no toxic evil people either.

Exodus
Chapter 20

1And God spake all these words, saying,

2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

13Thou shalt not kill.

14Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15Thou shalt not steal.

16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

Yes this is a lot to read to take in. But if you are new to this blog and this is the first time reading this, then now you know. These commandments are just that, commandments. They will save you a lot of trouble and time in life. But to save your soul you will still need to accept JESUS as your LORD and savior too.

There s no short cut to heaven, and you can not buy your way in or just be a nice person to all of your close friends. For if you do not want GOD in your life now , or HIS son JESUS , you will be told at the gate “I do not know you” and you will be turned away to hell. And that will not be a good thing to have to happen to anybody.

Matthew 7:23 Context

20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

See our GOD is perfectly loving. Why would a person who does not anything to do with our beloved GOD expect to go to heaven where HE dwells?

From one human to another, if you have not accepted JESUS as your savior, please do not delay and ask JESUS into your life so that you can be saved. So that you will know JESUS and HE will know you. We do not know when JESUS will return, but I will tell you we are living in the last days before HE will.

We all need continued help in living GOD’s moral code, we are human and will make a mistake in something and will need our JESUS for help. It is something to remember that we are human. We are not perfect. But that Bible and the word of GOD is very comforting and right. And the moral code is the commandments for all of us mankind to follow to live peacefully with our fellow mankind and the earth.

Have a blessed day. Please share this message and pass it forward for others to read and to be encouraged too. Please do click on the like button below.

Ephesians 6:2

“Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)”

King James Version (KJV)

I know that sons will need a Dad for a role model. But so do daughters. Never divorce the child along with the Mother. Be careful as to how you treat a good Christian woman and the child she bore for you Dad.

My beautiful Mother did not know your past, or else she would have never married you, or even gave you a second look. Just because she knew of your situation AFTER you legally married her.

You didn’t know.

So because you are my Dad, and to honor you as it is scriptural.

Bless you Dad, for you did not know what you were doing. I do not know if your soul was saved before you have crossed over. I do not know how you stand with the LORD.

Peace and blessings be with you.

Forgiveness. Matthew 6:15

Hello everyone!

I do hope that you all are well and warm on this cold day here up north or are comfortable no matter where you are on GOD’s earth. It is so good to know we have a patient and loving GOD who watches over us all. Be it those of us who are saved or not. GOD waits for us to come to HIM, it is our choice whether to love GOD and HIS beloved son or not.

It is our choice whether to forgive and pray for our enemies or not too. For if we do not forgive, how can we be forgiven by GOD? It is not easy to forgive anyone who has hurt you. A school mate, a neighbor, a spouse, a family member, a co worker, even a stranger who you will most likely never see again. But it needs to be done so we do not hold the feelings in you of hurt that they have put upon you.

And if you see this person day to day, you are remembered of what they had done to you when you see them. This is the hardest thing to do , is to forgive when you are hurt. I am sure there are many who are reading this was hurt by someone.

But what about those of us who had hurt someone else? You want those you hurt to forgive you too right? So here’s the thing. GOD wants us all to forgive so we all can be forgiven. Its is how GOD wants it so it should be done as such. GOD will forgive us too.

Ephesians 4:26

“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:”

King James Version (KJV)

Communication is very important when we talk to each in hoping a truthful understand was accomplished. This is not always the case even with brothers and sisters in the LORD. I have seen men not speak to each other for years over a simple misunderstanding and not wanting to do what GOD says to do. Being prideful. One more stubborn than the other who will not accept the apology under any circumstances.

Not doing GOD’s will by being stubborn and not wanting to forgive. Even when one wants to make things right, both have to forgive and make peace. Both! Because the devil loves it when people do not get along and want peace, the devil does not want people to forgive each other.

But remember, it is GOD’s heaven. We all need to understand this, GOD does not want any strife in HIS heaven. A 1/3 of the bad angels got kicked out of heaven for causing strife!

Luke 10:18

“And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.”

King James Version (KJV)

Mankind does not rule anyone or anything. All creation belongs to GOD. Let us treat each other with respect. When a fellow mankind is saying things to you, or doing things to you that is not right in GODS eye and you don’t like it think about this. Remember the things you may have said or done your whole life that you have done to people. Things that may have hurt them knowingly or knowingly. You want GOD to forgive you too of these things too. GOD knows all, sees all too.

Make amends with those around you. Don not let either one of you die, and then you can not forgive the person or they forgive you. If there is not way to find to locate them on your own, pray and pray some more to forgive them. So that you will be forgiven as well too.

Don’t take your anger to the grave when then it is too late. JESUS forgave us of our sins. HE sacrificed HIS Self on the cross. JESUS was treated so horrible and gave HIS life for all of us mankind so we all can be forgiven.

This human thing about judging others we do not even know in a ungodly way is wrong too. What does the bible say about that? You can hurt others by judging them to be ungodly when you are doing the very thing first! Which is being ungodly by judging. Such as saying “those people are like this or that.” And they can be more righteous and faithful to GOD than you are and have accepted JESUS as savior. So you will want to be forgiven of these thoughts towards people or a person you do not know. Let us study the word together in unity for peace.

Hello all!

I do hope and pray that you all will have a blessed CHRISTmas day in the fact that we all have a savior!

Our beloved Creator, our FATHER GOD has given us all a chance to be in heaven with HIM when our days are done here on earth!

Our one and only way to heaven is thru JESUS, the greatest gift of all time that our beloved FATHER GOD has given all of us mankind. Let us all know just how much our GOD loves us and wants us all to return home to be with HIM and HIS son JESUS.

There is no such thing as Santa, no Frosty the snow man, no reindeer, no elf on shelf or gnome or anything of the sort. These are all mythical creatures that have been popping up more and more into the main stream of things with in CHRISTmas time.

Let us remember the true meaning of CHRISTmas day. We celebrate the birth of JESUS as our savior from the millions and billions of sins we all have done our whole lives long. JESUS is our savior from damnation and eternity in hell.

Give thanks to our GOD for sending our savior, and for JESUS doing GOD’s will. JESUS didn’t have to, HE could have abandoned us by saying we are too wicked to save. BUT He did not!

Because HE loves us so. Now we all need to show our love right back in return to HIM and not santa and any other mythical beings made up by mankind. JESUS is real!

GOD’S Power! It can not be be measured!

Hello all!

I do pray that yo all are well and safe. It is the new lifestyle of the times to deal with this current issue that has affected every single person at some level. Covid19! It has affected all people be it physically, financially or thru the loss of loved ones.

But remember who has the greatest power over all vaccines, our FATHER GOD by all means. Just think about the beautiful sun. You can see and feel how powerful the sun is. All that it can do, what is does for the earth.

But then remember who made this great power. Our beloved FATHER GOD!!!

An all powerful and mighty loving GOD. HE created the sun, moon and the stars too! GOD created all mankind as well too. So there is nothing GOD can not do.

Colossians 1:16

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:”

King James Version (KJV)

Our beloved FATHER GOD will hear our prayers. GOD is good! Mankind that chooses to listen to our GOD will have their prayers answered as how GOD sees fit for us. Mankind that does not want GOD in their lives and will do things their way will learn that mankind’s way does not work.

Trust in GOD when you pray. Wait. Have patience on the answer just like GOD has patience on you too. And when you see the sun, and can see the power in it for what it can do, just remember the greater and greatest power that created it too. Our beloved FATHER GOD!!!!

Please click on the like button below and share this message to all who need to remember our GOD’S power. If GOD can do such great things and making all creation, HE can help us all make it thru this fallen world until we are called home!

Keep your faith and stay in prayer!

Peace!!!
