New Rule

"Pray Twice as Long For Your Enemies Than the Time It Takes to Criticize Them"


"But I (Jesus) say unto you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, and PERSECUTE YOU". Matthew 5:44 KJV (Capitals are mine for emphasis)

THEY CARRY "A CRITICAL SPIRIT" WHEREVER THEY GO

I don't know about you, but negative people "bug" me. It's like "a contagious disease". I don't like to be around them for too long, as they are depressing, and if one is not careful, they will bring you down to their level of low-living. They carry "a critical spirit" wherever they go. Recently I heard one preacher say, "If you are always changing churches, and everyone of them stinks, smell yourself, as it is probably you who is carrying the stink".

"THE GREATEST POWER IN THE WORLD: LOVE"

There is absolutely no way in the flesh that we can sincerely love our enemies. Only God's love through us can accomplish this awesome command given by Jesus Himself. Down through the centuries, one religion has spread around the world through "the power of the sword". We like to say that Christianity has been spread across nations through "the greatest power in the world: love". Sadly, this has not always been the case, but this is ideally how it is suppose to work.

IT IS LIKE "A BOOMERANG"

Why should we bless those who curse us? The answer is simple. It is like "a boomerang". If those who delight in cursing us receive the blessing, we have gained a friend. If they do not, then the blessing we have sent will come back to us. If we speak cursing against those who have cursed us, then when they do not receive it, the curse we have spoken will make a u-turn, and come right back to us.

TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT. RETRIBUTION BELONGS TO GOD. VENGEANCE IS HIS; NOT OURS

What is the purpose of doing good to those who hate us? If we allow that hatred to "get under our skin", it will fester, and poison our entire system. Letting such a spirit, which is the exact opposite of love, to transfer itself into our spirit, will eventually permeate everything we say, and influence all of our actions in a negative way. Two wrongs do not make a right. Retribution belongs to God. Vengeance is His; not ours. God does not want us to "get down in the gutter and fight dirty" like those who aim weapons of hatred toward us. Let us do good to them, and we will not be sorry later, as goodness will triumph over hatred.

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW THEM TO ENTER OUR LIVES?

It is like "an automatic reaction of the flesh" which responds negatively to those who despitefully use us, and outright persecute us for our beliefs. Why does God allow them to enter our lives? It is so that we can learn about a life filled with loving, blessing, doing good and praying. Isn't it better than going through the rest of our lives hating, cursing, doing evil and being caught up lashing out at those who do not espouse our same values?

IT DOES MORE HARM TO US THAN THE ONES WE ARE CONSTANTLY POINTING OUT THEIR FAULTS AND FAILURES

I have come up with a new rule for myself. It is "praying twice as long for my enemies than the time it takes to criticize them". Negative outbursts, laced with "self-righteous hatred", will eventually eat away at us like a malignant tumor. It does more harm to us than the ones we are constantly pointing out their faults and failures. We may or may not like the policies of the President, Prime Minister, Governor or Mayor, but it will be far more profitable if we pray for them, and believe the Lord to change them for the better.

"A PRAYER REVIVAL" WILL DO FAR MORE THAN ENGAGING IN THE TACTICS OF THE FLESH

The love of God bathed in prayer, doing good and sending out blessing will be far more effective and powerful than "flapping our jaws" about politicians and their policies which we do not like. What kind of positive and godly changes would we see if all those who name the name of Jesus would "pray for those who have the rule over us"--as the Scripture instructs us to do--instead of engaging in character assassination? "A prayer revival" will do far more than engaging in the tactics of the flesh.

HELPING THE JIGGERS INFFECTED PEOPLE OF SIAYA

I CARE. DO YOU? Campaign
________________________________________
CHRIST THE KING COMMUNNITY CHURCH
SIAYA KENYA

Introduction:
Christ the King Community Church- CTK situated in Siaya Kenya has operated for one year since her inception. The church is situated to one of the under developed Districts in Kenya. The church is at its growing state, and God is favoring the ministry with committed church members who have taken initiative of reaching those in distress with the word of God through home bible fellowship.

Problem Statement:

Through the community bible fellowship out in one of the remote areas of Siaya district, where the CTK church is situated discovered that majority of orphans and vulnerable children, elderly widows and widowers are affected with jiggers which have affected them greatly to the extend that some are turning to be mentally ill.

The church took a step to conduct a survey on why these category of people are not being helped by the able community members, it was discovered that the community members believes that jiggers is a curse and to avoid such curses is by keeping away from such people who already assumed to be curse. Another issue was cultural belief associated with death. These categories of people have lost other special people in their lives i.e. children have lost their parents, wives have lost their husbands and husbands have lost their wives. In our society these people seen culturally to be unclean because they have not passed through some rituals for cleansing. All these beliefs have made the lives of orphans, elderly widows and widowers more miserable because every community members have their own reason why they can’t intervene.

Justification:

CTK as a community church was challenged by this problem our vulnerable community women, men and children are facing just because there is no body to help them. CTK felt that this is a call to serve God be giving these people hope. On that reason, the CTK Siaya Church launched a campaign to eradicate jiggers in “lwala kawour location” the community where jiggers out are affecting the lives of vulnerable community members. I CARE DO YOU? Campaign is the CTK initiative to help the church mobilize resource to help in responding to this challenge of jiggers attack our vulnerable brothers and sisters are facing.

Intervention strategy:

CTK has started mobilizing resource to help in this campaign. And the church is calling for well wishers and the CTK family to help the Siaya church reach these our brothers and sisters who are in great need.
CTK CARE DO YOU? Campaign activity

CTK I CARE DO YOU? Campaign will has started cleaning project on those who are affected by jiggers. The campaign is cleaning their infected bodies plus their houses. The campaign is targeting a location with more than 120 household affected by the jiggers.

Nairobi CTK Worship Centre Launch

It was with great pomp and excitement for the ctkers' in Nairobi and the neighboring Christian community to come together and celebrate the launch of this new ministry.
The hall was beautifully decorated and was able to contain about 135 adults in attendance.
We are gearing for a great move of God through the small groups that have been forming and more souls will be transformed.
The PA/Sound equipment bought by the support of CTK Network Resources was a plus for the centre.
We at Nairobi CTK will be forever grateful to all brethren that gave both financial and spiritual support to make this day a success. May the Lord richly Bless you.
