“What is man, that you are mindful of him? And the son of
man, that you visit him?” Psalms 8:4
A very happy month of
August you are wished my dear reader and I am much humbled for your audience.
The psalmist as recorded in the verse quoted above, made me realize a few
truths about the reality of how special me and you are to God, and how
unfortunately we like to dwell on our ‘smallness’.
What is man- When we look at the enormous expanse of all God
has created, you wonder what claim has these weak, frail, and ever
disappointing people have? What possibly is there in a mere mortal that
warrants him so much notice from God? Why has our creator discussed me and you with
such a signal of honor? Why my dear beloved did He place us over the marvelous,
magnificent works of His holy hands? Why I ask again, did God make so many
arrangements for my comfort? Why does He have to save such a wretched soul? My
bible tells me I was created just a little lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor and
given authority over all things ~ Hebrews 2:7 How highly valuable my dear friend does God
consider us? We are so sinful and polluted to the core, that it begs the
question, why such honor has been conferred to us, why have we been given
dominion over the world?
That thou art mindful of him- That God does constantly and
wholly think of me. Why should the all-powerful creator, grand and beautiful,
vast and glorious, and who has all the sparkly worlds turn his attention and thoughts
on man?
And the son of man-The honor extends to the descendant of
man! Have any of man descendants done anything to claim such honor? There is
nothing by any design that man has, or can even be considered close in any
respect to accord him such exalted honor. Nothing that the human race has done
since the writing of this question by the psalmist either, that has
significantly contributed to respond to the potency of this inquiry.
That thou visits him- With uttermost attention and care
bestowed upon us; never forgetting us or abandoning us. That He meets us at the
point of our needs. A visitation for mercy, for favor, for friendship, for
healing, for protection, for breakthroughs, for all our needs!

Allow me to share a personal experience that I had some time
back that brought all the preaching and teaching I have received over time
about my worthiness and the enemy of my soul into clarity. I was deep in slumber
land when I felt a great force clasping my hands as if to handcuff them,
restraining me not to do anything with my hands. There was a bit of a tussle
between me and the force as I tried desperately to free myself from its grip.
However something more arousing happened at this brief encounter with a dark
force, my senses were all awaken in a way that I could feel the hatred and the ugliness
that was coming from this ‘thing’. The kind of animosity I felt coming from it
was enough to finish me off as brutally as it could given the chance. This loathing
is what startled me more than the fact that my hands were tightly locked in ‘its’.
I could even think of a few people that I have brushed their shoulders in the
wrong way or had differences and as such they have no much liking to me, but
still their dislike of me all combined together could not be counted even to a
1/5th of what this thing felt about me. Such a magnitude of abhorrence
it was that I found myself exasperatedly calling on the name of Jesus and
pleading for his precious blood to save me. It was just horrible. I woke up,
breaking a sweat and immediately went onto my knees to pray. Till now, that
event is always very vivid in my memory.
What this awful encounter did to me is that it allowed me
see and learn firsthand the kind of ENEMY I have. An enemy that did not want my
hands to do anything fruitful and God knows what else it was planning! An enemy
that was so damn ugly and filled with so much hate for me that it broke my poor
heart to think how casually I had entertained him for so many years! This enemy
has come in disguise and he is so much part of the world system. He has one
mega goal and that is to destroy your soul! He disguises himself as “cool,
classy, the in-thing, trendy and many more…” using our media to corrupt us, and
over the years he has been gaining grounds on all key mountains. I am blessed
and quite fortunate to live in Kenya, a place where I have the freedom to shout
the name of my King Jesus without any intimidation. In some parts of the world,
they have had to scrap off Christian education from their school curriculum and
it is illegal to do any act of worship to the Lord while at a school compound.
The enemy here is ensuring that the children of God hear less and less of His
word, if you judge by the fact that our children spend more time in schools
than at home.
This enemy that we have probably never stopped to think
about his crooked ideals and a bad value that you and I have been ignorantly
following has no amount of love for you and me. You could think a lying tongue/deceitfulness
is very clever of you, but what you may not be aware is that he is condemning
you to hell! Casually entertaining habits like gossip, slander, jealousness, envy,
pride, and unforgiveness deeply and gradually entrenches you to a pit of
destruction. The enemy lost his glory and was condemned to a torturous life and
since then he has been recruiting the offspring of man to join him. Please do
not share with him his horrible loss.
My Holy bible has demonstrated to me very wonderfully with
His living word how worthy I am to God, how precious me and you are that the
psalmist could not help but wonder, who is man really? That God never tires to
make arrangements for our souls to be saved from hell. He has been knocking at
your door, Jesus has been interceding for you constantly, His mercy has been
locating you, He has marked you as His very own .The precious blood of Jesus
that was shed at Calvary is awaiting to cleanse your soul from all the filthiness
and unworthiness, to make you walk free from captivity and unbound you from any
chains of bondage and destruction, to heal your wounded heart, to bring you hope
and freshness , to announce good news to you and for you to proclaim you year
of favor. How long are you going to let the enemy do a happy dance at the
expense of your pain and suffering? How long do you plan to allow the enemy
wreaks havoc in your life and relationships? How long my dear reader is you
going to let the enemy steal your joy and purpose? How long before we see you
shining in your calling? Please I beg you accept Jesus Christ in your life. Let
His precious blood and great power turn your life around.
Are you passionate about winning souls for Christ? Have you
been praying for your colleague, friend, family member, neighbor, supervisor,
lecturer, teacher and anyone you know to get born again and experience life
eternal? Before I wrote this post, I made a prayer that me and you we can stand
in the gap for that person or persons that you want them in the Kingdom, simply
insert their name in the following prayer:
Please Lord let your mercy locate and convict these souls,
for it is in Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen

| Joseph, Amina and I during #EachOneReachOne street Evangelism. |
PS: This post has been written as a dedication to Amina in
the photo above. My brother Joseph and I met her at a backstreet holding an
injection ready to give herself a shot and it brought a tear to my mind. She
was heavily smelling of liquor as I embraced her and I could see how the
bondage drug addiction had taken a toll on her youthful body, this broke my
heart . We talked to her about Jesus after initiating a pleasant rapport and to
the glory of God she wanted to be set free and meet the Jesus we preached to
her. It was clear from our conversation that she had no knowledge about the son
of God, let alone what He could do to her life. We led her into a prayer of
confessing the Lord Jesus is her savior as well and believe in His anointing power
to break every chain of destruction from Amina’s life. Please remember her in
your prayer as well. The street evangelism that we were part of on this day as
we met Amina, is organized by Njugush of Kkrew and his team. It takes place
every last Saturday of the month where children of God convene at Bata Hilton (Nairobi)
from 10.00 AM with an aim to share the love of Christ to strangers. The social media
hashtag is #EachOneReachOne
Consider sharing this post and be a blessing to somebody
else, from my heart to yours much love.
Baraka tele!
Mkamboi.
