God's Radical Transforming Love


As the world reels in abject suspicion of everyone foreign or anybody who doesn't look like us, the gopsel of Jesus Christ is being preached allover the world. Surprisingly, it is not the mega churches that are preaching this gospel. It is not the so called apostles and bishops, and prophets, and miracleworkers who have all the time on the electronic and social media, IT IS BEING PREACHED BY CHRIST HIMSELF FROM HEAVEN where He is seated on the right hand side of the father. When they do not preach against sin, and continue building mansions and cathedrals that accommodate thousands of memebers here on earth, they see public money being stollen and fear to speak about it, some have even abandoned the pulpit and joine politics, the Gopsel is like the the mighty River Nile WHICH CAN NEVER BE STOPPED BY ANYTHING. What Jesus said in Luke 19:40 HAS COME TO PASS "But Jesus answered, "I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!" Stones are now preaching the Gospel.
The bible shows that it is a living book that gives life to many by showing how radical Transforming love works. Look all over the world, the world has a new definition of the word "enemy" ---- which lexically, means "a person who is actively opposed or hostile to someone or something".or "a hostile nation or its armed forces or citizens, especially in time of war". or "a thing that harms or weakens something else", but now the word enemy has been made to mean "someone who doesn't agree with you or looks different, or belongs to another nation or religion".
Rdical transformational love would change the young radicalized jobless Muslims and Christians who have converted to Islam in the major populous cities of African nations have been made to believe that anybody who is not a muslim, is an enemy. They have been made to believe that western culture is Christianity and hence anything from Europe including sports, Education and life styles, are considered to be of the enemy. Be it what it may, the Christian Faith is the only FAITH that teaches us how to live with all people who may be different from us.We also know that our God loves those who are fleeing from war ravaged countries. The cities of refuge played a very significant role in the life of ancient Israel and that is why God commanded Moses to build these cities.(Exodus 21:12 - 14, Numbers 35:9 - 34, Deuteronomy. Radical transforming Love provides solace to
Refugees are a people who are seeking protection and for theo of us who have lived in the East African region know that refugees bring with them God's blessings. Many Ugandan teachers who fled from Uganda's Iddi Amin Dada, became very instrumental in the education and Medical sector. I was taught by teachers from Uganda.Many doctors worked in our hospitals. Many refugees form Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia and Ruanda have lived with us in Kenya and brought Blessings to Kenya. What important role did the cities of refuge play in the life of ancient Israel? Why did God command Moses (Exodus 21:12 - 14, Numbers 35:9 - 34, Deuteronomy Jesus our Lord was a refugee at the age of below 2. He lived as a refugee in Africa and drunk water from Lake Victoria in Kenya. He knew that real love is demostrated by loving all....
The Radical love that can transform and will pacify the world, is not shown by signing peace treaties but by what Jesus said in Matthew 5:43-45“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
