Hi, Welcome again to another time to reason and make it straight. Are we born Homoz, Lesbians, Thieves, Liars, Gossips etc and the list goes on? Ah My answer is yes! I am certain that you have heard of Homosexual people saying this is how they were born, I find truth in their statement in this way, first, all of us are born sinners, that is by nature we sin naturally, we SIN,,, we engage in homosexuality, we engage in lies, in stealing naturally, because we are depraved and fallen. Turning on to the Bible I see Isaiah say, two things, that without choice... he was born in sin and lived among people who sinned, that is By nature he is a sinner and by default he lives in a sinful environment... but before you conclude, He has a choice but the choice will only come when God gives him the alternative, I.e the Light, and a chance to be made a new creature. Isaiah 6:5 Psalm 51:5 say more, Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Yet you desire...
I always had this passion to plant churches, Yes to plant a thousand churches in Africa and beyond, now that vision is coming to a reality, and now i feel my vision was so small. Why? because it has been accomplished by people still alive today, that means its not big enough to attract the hand of God. Well now I have to dream BIG, i desire to mentor pastors and presidents/ leaders also and that is also underway. My view of why church planting is important is because its a sure way to effect discipleship for longevity.

My desire is to see each pastor supported and equipped to live a life of integrity and to be responsible for a church that is growing. This is a snippet of my vision, now I am moving to its realization in Nairobi Chapel , and th...
Today we talk to Pastors about RELATIONSHIPS, Every time you think of the work of pastors, what comes to mind is people, surely a pastor is not a pastor if he has no people to pastor. Well it may be said that you are called, but surely you must be called to God, and called out to people. The relationships that exist in a pastors lie are two( at least) the major ones. First, His/her family and second, The church (the people). Family: I have learned that My family is first and I mean first, but not the place of God. My relationship with my spouse and child speaks alot more about my relationship with "my flock." The people I lead pick cues from the people who make up my family, therefore my relationship at Home is the foundation for my relationship with the church. Above all, we know that, You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ~Desmond Tutu Church: Pastors, Remember the Church or the Flock is not yours its Gods, You are o...
