A friend more than all

 



They say there’s no friend as loyal as a pet, especially a dog. And it’s true—dogs are loyal, loving, and always by your side. They eagerly wait at the door for you, greet you with unmatched joy, stay close when you’re down, and offer unwavering companionship no matter the circumstances. In their silent loyalty, they bring comfort, companionship, and unconditional love—qualities that even many human relationships struggle to provide. A pet’s devotion is a beautiful gift, often reflecting the kind of love we all long for.


But as wonderful as a pet’s love may be, it pales in comparison to the love of Jesus Christ. A dog may stay by your side in sickness, but only Christ can heal your soul. A pet may offer comfort during hard times, but only Christ can give peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). A dog may faithfully walk with you on earth, but only Christ can walk with you into eternity. Jesus’ love is in a class of its own. Unlike any earthly friend, He loved us so deeply that He laid down His life for us (John 15:13; Romans 5:8). His friendship is not limited to this life—it assures us eternal life and an unshakable hope. His love isn’t just loyal; it’s perfect, sacrificial, and everlasting.


So while you cherish the love of your pets—a gift from God—don’t settle for temporary companionship when Christ offers eternal friendship. His love never fails, and He will never leave or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Make Him your ultimate friend today, and you’ll find in Him the perfect love, comfort, and peace that no one else can give. AMEN

English and Swahili Teachings on Christ

  Summary: The Person and Work of God the Son (Jesus Christ) Jesus Christ, God the Son, is fully God and fully man— the God-Man . Hebrews 1:8 and John 1:1-14 affirm His eternal deity and incarnation. As man, He was born of a woman, experienced human growth, temptation, and death—yet without sin (Heb. 4:15). As God, He was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of a virgin, and bears titles and attributes that belong only to Deity (Col. 2:9). His Divine Sonship is affirmed by the Father, angels, prophets, apostles, devils, and Christ Himself. His deity is irrefutable to any who accept the authority of Scripture. His Sevenfold Mission : The Son of God and Son of Man – sent to save the world (John 3:17; Luke 19:10), and to share His inheritance with the redeemed (Rom. 8:17). Saviour and Redeemer – to save His people from their sins and redeem them by His blood (Matt. 1:21; 1 Pet. 1:18-19). Our Example – in holiness, prayer, love, humility, obedience, and overcoming temptation ...

Apostle’s Creed: I believe.

Image
I believe in God, the Father almighty,  creator of heaven and earth. 1. The Doctrine of Faith (“I believe”) This opening phrase is more than a declaration; it’s a confession of trust and a personal commitment. The word believe  goes beyond intellectual agreement; it involves faith that transforms the heart and life (Romans 10:9-10). This faith rests not on feelings or human wisdom but on the revelation of God’s Word. In saying “I believe,” the believer aligns himself with the truth of God, submitting to His authority and staking his life on His promises (Hebrews 11:1). It involves both trust and obedience (James 2:17). This emphasizes  personal faith:  Not merely intellectual agreement, but a deep trust and conviction.  2. The Doctrine of God (“in God”) The creed immediately centers belief on God; not just any god, but the one true and living God revealed in Scripture. This declaration echoes the Shema: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD” (Deuteron...

The Fifth Commandment: Honoring Authority and Reflecting God’s Order

The Fifth Commandment: Honoring Authority and Reflecting God’s Order "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long..." — Exodus 20:12 (KJV) The Meaning and Scope of the Fifth Commandment The fifth commandment calls us to honor our parents, but its meaning extends beyond biological relationships. It establishes a broader principle of respect for all God-ordained authority in the home, church, and society. This commandment is unique because it comes with a promise: long life and blessing. It reflects God’s design for order, where submission to rightful authority brings peace and stability. While “parent” primarily refers to biological and adoptive parents, it also includes other authority figures God has placed over us: spiritual leaders (1 Corinthians 4:15), civil authorities (Romans 13:1–2), employers (Ephesians 6:5–7), and older, wiser individuals who provide guidance (Leviticus 19:32). These figures reflect God’s structure of authority in different are...
