SPEAKER_01Um, you can't be able to do that.
SPEAKER_02Prophesy with them, and you'll be changed into a different person. That's our prayer for everyone of us here. These are the days. The Spirit of God will come powerfully upon you, and you indeed be changed. Your thinking will change, and your the way you talk will change. Your mindset will change. Your habits that we talked about yesterday are going to change when the Spirit of God comes powerfully upon you. May that be a reality for you. For me, that these third days will Usher is onto June 30th. Completely changed people, encouraged to serve God like never before, committed to his kingdom like never before, putting God and Christ at the center of everything that we do.

Nature Walks And Quiet Listening
SPEAKER_02Our health disciplines, we are reminded again this morning. Take some time, go out there, connect with nature, tell us how you are getting it on. It was nice, amazing. Yesterday I got a chance to be out there. And it's great to see what God is doing. You realize, wow, you're not alone in this planet. There are other creatures also in here. You're not alone. There are other creatures that are busy. The birds are busy. You know, there are a lot of things that are here happening. And it's good to connect with God and understand. You know, just get to get sense his presence in you. And it is in those moments that he begins to speak to you. You see, when God wants to speak to you, you must isolate yourself. You must isolate yourself. When it's noisy, God can't get through to you. And so when you step out and just dedicate yourself to him, and it's just you and him. He's able to begin to drop things. Drop things into your spirit and tell, hey, have you tried this? Can you do this? Can you do that? And it's in those moments where you can drop an idea that changes your life. You can drop an idea that completely changes your
A Wake-Up Call About Prayer
SPEAKER_02life. One day I was just, you know, running around and um I think in you know, jogging as I always try to do, and and I got challenged early morning, and the Muslims were out there and started praying with their, you know, on the hour of prayer. And I was like, how come we can't do this? How come we struggle so much as Christians to have a discipline of prayer? And the Muslims do it, the heathen do it. I'm telling you, the demonic world are on it. You go to the the oceans, um, you'll find people coming in there and and walking in there and in the sea, uh, uh doing very funny things to get power. You know, they did the the the demonic world understand uh the power of beginning the day early in prayer, and I said we have to do it. And from that moment on, we have been here every single morning uh since 2020. It was a moment of revelation, and we said, we'll go ahead and let's do it. And here we are uh six years down the road. You have been on it every single day, it's become part of our discipline. So there are some things that God will drop in you only when you isolate yourself and connect with him. You'll drop things for your family, for your business, for your work, your career, your ministry, your church. Um, and you have to isolate yourself to allow him to speak to you. And you must know how he speaks, you must find positions where he speaks to you. Um you know, that's why when Jacob was on his way to uh running to Laban's house, he reached this place and he pulls his head to sleep and he wakes up and realizes God is here. He's here, he's here. And it was that moment that he had an encounter with God that changed him forever. So when you isolate yourself and you find positions where God speaks to you, um, he really, really speaks to you. But we have to disconnect ourselves and connect with God. No one of the enemy as a store, harass, so busy, busy, busy, busy, busy. Running from this, from this, from that, from that. Until we have no time for ourselves and no time for you and God alone. And we need to carve our time and time that he can speak to us in Jesus' name. Take a lot of water, your body is your license here on earth. I need to stop now, and purpose be a blessing to everyone. Yeah.
Two-Week Reset Recap And Tools
SPEAKER_02Now, what have we covered this week? This is all we have covered. We have learned in the last two weeks, connecting with God. And, you know, anytime uh we did forgiveness, I pray and trust that no one is still going to the uh closing the day with baggage, forgive people, forgive those who tread on you, just let go on a daily basis. We have written those, you know, the forgiveness letters uh for things that happened before, but now you're keeping a clean slate. We've learned about prayer and meditation, the power of meditation, meditating on God's word. Uh we've changed our language, how we speak, you know, gratitude, um, the value of gratitude, enlarging our life by being grateful. Um, you know, everything. Look at it through. Uh, you have you know, you are what can I be grateful for? We've done our design decoding and looking at why we are actually desiring those things and decoding them. Power of Sabbath, this is one that has helped me a lot. Uh these days, I am like from Friday evening. I am on Sabbath mode. I'm not going to respond to you on those messages, you'll not get me online. Uh I'm gone, I'm switched off. I want just to just really, really have a complete rest. Maybe this 11 days, that challenge, that's the one thing for me. I picked up when we are talking about what people have picked up, is just resting um on the Sabbath. Uh, as long as it turns on Friday night, I'm not doing anything. If I can avoid it, I just want to be with God. I just want to focus my energies on um just just just God. I don't want to do the work, I don't want anything to do with people, I just want to just rest. Anyway, that's me. That's been mine this this season. The power of visioning, we talked about self-actualization, spiritual metabolization, living on purpose, and getting the right mind for life. And yesterday we talked about habit elevation. We said, hey, you can change any habit. Don't say, oh, see, we are like this. No, no, there's nothing like we are that. You can change it. You are the architect of your life. You have the power to change those habits. And we said you can never change your life until you change something you do daily. And that's what we have been able to cover so far. So I'm going to stop
Testimonies Open The Floor
SPEAKER_02there. I'm going to open it up to all of us, as we say today. It's just a time uh to just hear testimonies what you have picked uh during this period. And um, yeah, we shall be blessed as we hear those testimonies, and we're going to pick up not in any particular order, we're just going to welcome uh all of us here. We'll try to give as many people as possible a chance, and we shall be blessed in Jesus' name. Wonderful. So we're going to start off and we'll request our sister Josephine to kick us off if she can, and Josphine will hand it over to our sister uh Catherine Wendy, and then we're going to go down uh to Mombasa. We'll take the Nyas. And then uh let's take our sister Penina, and yeah, then we'll look at how much time we have. But everyone just get ready. We're going to cover as many people as we can, and we shall be blessed. We're just telling us what have you picked this season? Uh, what's God doing in your life? What's happening to you? Um, that can be a blessing to all of us here. We want to give everybody a chance, uh, everybody. So, and you know, as the Lord's good to enable us. Okay, so uh Sister Josephine, you can kick us kick us off, and then you'll hand it over um and to uh Catherine um Mende. Then we go to Mombasa, we take the NZENs, and then Joyce Cosmos get ready.
Habits As A Hidden Master
SPEAKER_0630 day challenge has worked a miracle and powers in my life. And what has come out this this round is the power of habits, and the poem was reminded me of many things. Uh and those who are great, I have made them great. Those who are failure have made them failure. I am not a machine, I uh I work with precise machine machine and pre indolence of a person. You can run me for profit, you can run me for ruin. Show me how you want it done, educate me, train me, lead me, reward, reward me, and I will then do it automatically. I am your servant, who am I? I'm habit. This one has come to me in a powerful way. So, what I've learned from it that I have the power to turn my habits to positive things in my life, and I've learned that I can turn around everything in my life with a positive habit and to drop which which habits which do not profit because habits can destroy, habit can can bring confusion in my life. So I've learned that habit is in my power to make good life. So I've chosen to embrace the positive habits and to do away with habits which are not positive. That's my take.
SPEAKER_02Amen. Man, man, man. Thanks so much, uh Catherine, for that. And you know, for me, what I really liked is the fact that you can change anything, you can change any habit uh as well that you realize it's not serving you, and you can get feedback from friends. Um, if we are honest with each other, we can help. And then we just need to change one habit and see how the impact, the multiplier impact has on your life. I pray that we shall be encouraged, we shall be challenged when we go for prayer meetings. Um, and you know, these are things I'll be praying for. Uh, you know, it could be saying, Hey, this month I'm working on this, this month I'm working on this habit. I'm really wanting to get rid of it. This habit of always getting annoyed with people, and this habit of always, you know, I'm I want to get over it. Um, you know, so so you can get over things when you focus on them. And that's our prayer this morning. That's what this is a challenge. It inspires us to.
SPEAKER_04Good morning, brother Isaac, and praise the Lord.
Confessions And The Power Of Words
SPEAKER_04Uh we want and we want to thank God in Momasa. We've been in, and we thank God for the lessons that you are learning. And uh, we've learned a lot of things, but uh there are key takeouts here, and uh one of the things that has really been a blessing to us is the power of confessions. Um, how what we confess, what do we speak? Um what are the things? And the the um the sharing on our daily confessions is was very key to us. That uh many people um pass their lives, or they live under bondage because of their confessions, and they live a defeated life because of the confessions they make, and that becomes very important that uh as Christians we need to realize that the power of confession is key to us. We live by what we confess, and what we confess becomes of us and becomes a reality to us, so we need to be very careful with what we speak, and while uh Isaac was sharing, I remember that uh in high school, one of my classes, we had a class where my classmate was that kind of a person who would speak things that are so disturbing, and every time he opens his mouth, you don't expect anything positive, anything good, and uh that guy lived under that kind of bondage, and sort of when he begins to speak, it's like those words you have to be very careful not to be around him, otherwise the same words will begin to infect you. And I realize that it is very easy for us to begin saying things, and the the makers are not to progress, not because of just because of that kind of confession. So as we confess, so it is for us, and we need to be very careful. The other thing is about our the desire that whatever we desire, God gives us in the scripture that says we delight in the Lord and He gives us the desire of our hearts. Um daily, it is uh we must make it an a habit again, as we just shared that we delight ourselves in the Lord, and the Bible says he gives us the desire of our hearts, even that which has not come through, it is coming as long as we remain in the Lord. So many things we have learned a lot, but uh this morning, allow me to just share those kind of those two key takeouts. God bless you, our brother, for that sacrifice and for those lessons that are very important, they are very they are life-transforming. And uh we we really thank God for the opportunity to hear and to learn those kind of uh those lessons. Thank you, and God bless you.
SPEAKER_02Amen. Thank you, thank you, brother. And um I think on the on the subject of words, uh, I think what we do realize is that sometimes when you speak um in front of people or somebody, it determines whether they want to see you again. You know, you sit with somebody, you hear the way they are, you listen the way they are speaking, and you say, I don't know if you want to see this person again. Uh I after we leave, I'm like, I want to be as far away as I can from you. Um, and and that's how we make our life become very small. You find that every time you you you you are in you speak, you are limiting your life, you are you are you become a limitation to yourself. Um, but depending also on what you say, there are people who want to hear you again and again. They want to spend more time and time with you, and so you begin to enlarge your life based on what you say. And so what we say is very important. Uh, it can enlarge our life, it can keep limiting our lives, uh, and the choice is in uh is in us, is in the you know in our hands. Yeah, so thank you for that. Uh, my brother, let's take it on to uh Joyce Cosmas, and then uh we'll take Penina and then we'll go to Maluki.
Breathwork That Shifts Your Mood
SPEAKER_07Thank you so much. Good morning, and praise the Lord. Um, so glad I'm born again this morning, and thank you for the chance to share. Um, I think what I like most about this challenge is uh the issue of taking the breath uh in the morning. I remember this week there is this day I wake up very early in the morning, and then I'm just there. I feel that I I just feel moody. I don't feel like even praying, I just want to be there. Just to be there, just wanted to be there. I was just feeling moody. But uh when you started and then you are taking the breath, uh, the deep breath, then I took the first one, the second one. By the time I took the third one, you know, the thing just disappeared completely. And so there is just power in taking those uh the breath. Uh the other thing is uh that day when you told us we come with friends, we invite our friends. It was a friend's day. Then I I tried to mobilize all my friends in all the groups. Some they were telling me, is it possible we start at 5:30? It is very cold in the morning, and no one wanted to join. Some promised to join Sofia Cup that morning. I try to look at the participants, then I find that I don't have even a single friend here. So I try to to call my daughter and I'm telling her today we have a challenge, and I would like to invite you. It is a friend's day, and I would like to invite you just to be in. Then she was like, I'm cooking, mom. Then I was like, No, you need to join. Then she was like, Really, mom? Am I your friend? Then I was like, Yes, you are. So finally she said, uh, I'm going to join. So to me, that was also a challenge uh to me this week. Um what has stood out for me, uh, it is about the habits. That one blew me completely. Uh and the the the fact that I can change my habits, then I was so happy about it. And when you talked about the super successful people, and you said that they lean, they continuously lean in. You know, they do something, then they achieve it, they celebrate, and they are looking to the next thing to do it. That one blew my mind completely. And I've just been thinking about that thing, you know, leaning in. You continuously not just lean, not just doing it and you stop it, you continuously lean in. You know, you do that something, you celebrate, and you don't just stop there. And then I was just trying to look about some things that I used to do, then I do them, and then I celebrate, and I pause, and I stop there, and it's like I've I'm done. And but this one has just blew my mind uh that I need to there's super successful people, they continuously lean in. And uh there is also something that you say that you you learn to say no to the good so that you can say yes to the best. And I I I can say that the habits, uh the habit things, uh that one uh uh really has really challenged me trying to write uh some of the habits, trying to uh I keep on uh one of one of the person who keeps on. Uh being on my toes about my habits is my husband, and you know, he challenges me and he tells me, you need to stop that one. And I also challenge him, you need to stop that one. So it has really been a blessing. May God bless you. Thank you for joining us here.
SPEAKER_02And it was great to see them coming and joining. Um, yeah, so we really bless the Lord for um you know for that uh that feedback. And it's true, leaning in um is one of the powerful things that I've learned as well. Um, and as a ministry, we really have to we really get good at that, leaning in there. Uh we finish one thing, celebrate it, and then just keep just keep going, keep going and keep going, and don't uh you know keep
Heart Purity And Purpose-Driven Living
SPEAKER_02going.
SPEAKER_05And wish um I'm one of the beneficiaries of this thirty-day challenge, and um my number one point is that God, God, God is everything. Genesis 1, 1A of one, it says that in the beginning, God. So everything starts and begins with God, is the foundation of our life. That stands out for me, and uh uh what I learned is that if I want true direction of everything, true peace, you know, true strength, you know, I must stay close to him. Because even him desires uh a deeper relationship with me. It has desires a deeper relationship with all of us. And when we take good time with him daily, and daily work with the Lord, it changes our thinking, it transforms us, it renews our characters and all that. What I learned from, you know, uh that God uses this process to transform us again. And I like the way Pathaiza, you put it, that our ability to receive from God and experience the miraculous on a daily basis is based on our condition of our heart. That stands out for me so well. So when my heart is not pure due to holding things like unforgiveness, you know, resentments, bitterness, hatred, they create a limit. I just like the way you put it. And God is not able to come into my life. He is not able to come into our lives. So the purity of my heart, the purity of our hearts will prepare, you know, the move of God, will prepare God to, God's purpose to take uh its course in our lives. The other thing uh on that topic, you talked about uh the power of what I say, you know, what I say about myself. And uh you brought out so well that I am is just a powerful word, it's a very powerful word, and it represents the name of God. That for me stands out, and it should not even be joked with. You should be very careful. So, whatever I attached with, I am, you know, I become fat. And I should be very careful, and that for me stood out very well. Number three, it's about our desires. God wants me, Penina, to be uh to have clarity on what I want. And uh on that topic, I learned that there are desires that are harmful. I didn't know that. You know, we when we talk about desires, we just were saying what we want to list everything. So desires that are harmful, you know, for me that are egoic. And for me, I was like, I'm learning. Yes, and this is for me. Thank you, God. You know, and there are also desires that bring out my purpose so clearly, you know, the desires so it's up for me to sit down and analyze them before I take them to God. Another thing about gratitude, I'm learning that every time I'm grateful, you know, God is honored. You know, brethren is all about the honor. Everything should go back to God to glorify him. So when we say thank you for everything, you know, we honor God. So when I thank God, we acknowledge that everything comes from him, you know, as the Bible says, 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 18, it says, in everything give thanks. Please honors God. I learned a lot. I can't stop before I say the power of purpose. For me, I love what you said, our director, that the power of uh of God manifests to me, Penina, if I live on purpose. That stood out for me. So it means when when when when when I don't leave my purpose, when I don't know why I'm here on this planet earth, why God brought me into this planet, it means God cannot use me. God cannot use me, I cannot be external. And I was like, you know, you know, it it to me it meant that God was very intentional to bring me into this world. And I looked at, it took me to Ephesians chapter 2, verse 10 that when Paul says that where we are is workmanship, you know, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that uh beforehand, that we should walk in them. And I found myself underlining the word, walking in them. You know, I've been reading this verse and I've never seen it the way I saw it when Pastor, you you know, you're giving, you're elaborating the power of purpose. We should walk in them. And I said, wait a minute. I was asking myself, Femina, is there a possibility that you are not leaving your purpose? Is there a possibility? Because it is, there is. And if not, I was telling myself, no delay. You should now go. If it was not yesterday, it should be now. You know, that's how it's a challenge. I was asking myself, am I happy? At the most happiest people in the world, you know, they are the people who live on their purpose. And I'm like, am I happy? So am I living my purpose? And I was challenging myself, and it stood out for me. So for me, I'm a channel for God's blessings for others. It's not even for me alone. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you, our director. The other one, lastly, and I give you another uh uh my my my live mouth. You you you you you you brought it so well. Uh and it was so clear that we have to understand on who God is. You know, when you were talking that, I think it was yesterday, uh or the day before, you know, I remembered this patient who came to our office just the other day. Aurora, a Muslim, and you he was telling me, every time I come into your office, I find you, you know, reading the Bible and maybe doing things to do with God. And I told him yes. And he was telling me, uh, then when I come next time, I will bring you a Quran so that you read and you compare the two, and we see uh uh uh we talk the truth about God. And I told him it's it's it's it's okay. It's okay, you know. You know why I was so that courageous and I was that bold to tell him that because I know my God. And I told him, you cannot take me away from my God because I know him personally. I know him, and I was so strong and I told him, I dare you bring that Quran and come over. Come over and make sure you create time, I'm ready for you. And he just walked out and he just laughed and he told me because we know each other, he told me, I know now. Yes, I told him now, prepare yourself because I want to come and come to my God. Yes. So let me stop there and thank you, Pastor Eiser, thank you, apostle. You know, the things that you do, to me, you are just a role model. To me, you just uh you know, I copied, I model, I will model it to others. So God bless you, even for the chance. Thank you.
SPEAKER_02Amen. Thank you so much, uh Pastor Panina, and uh yeah, we thank God for that. I think we have some good time, so we'll receive uh brother Maluki and then we'll take Catherine Mutriwa. And if we have some time, we call it finish with us and then we'll wrap it up uh in that order if time allows, but let's welcome our brother James.
Discipline And Perseverance As Leaders
SPEAKER_03Thank you, thank you, brother Isaac. Praise God, man. Amen. I really thank God for this moment and uh the experience I've had with the the ongoing 30 days challenge. To begin with, uh uh it has come as a fresh experience. You know, personally, I think this could be the fourth one, the the fourth one I'm attending. And every time I find I find it afresh, and believe you me, uh Brother Isaac and the rest of the brethren, it is fresh. There is a lot we've learned in a fresh way, such that as we uh live at the end of it, God willing, there will be impetus, the push to move forward uh uh with the various uh aspects we've been able to experience. It comes you know in a holistic manner. We realize uh this far it has touched on so many aspects of our lives and the expectations for us as brethren, such that you know it it is a complete package, and that way we thank you, brother Isaac, for uh coming in every time uh to find to find the time and to ensure we get refreshed as we have done this time around. As late as yesterday, we were learning about the power of habits, and I realized uh uh uh as a market uh practice, and in our lives as leaders, and even as parents, at whatever aspects of life we find ourselves uh uh uh providing leadership, we really have to you know master the right habits, we must be respectful of time, we must respect uh people, men. We must be able to say no to what we have been thinking are good habits and go for the best because the truth of the matter is yes, they are good habits, but if we remain there, we can remain ordinary. We have to say yes to the best habits around. And it begins with knowing, knowing God, knowing you know what is right for us, the way we are now learning, you know, we are knowing and we are able to get equipped even as we we move forward. Discipline is key, discipline, self-discipline, uh disciplining our bodies, our minds, as we move forward, you know, it is it is we we've learned it's it's it's it's it's a key component and a good habit. One of the best habits which will keep us, you know, uh uh uh uh uh on the path to excellence, even as we practice excellence at this moment, because we need to move from excellence to excellence. That's what uh uh I've been able to gather. Uh perseverance, perseverance that brother Isaac, we've learned a lot from you when it comes to the issue of perseverance, and you were reminding us what has been happening since you say we started uh the morning uh prayers in the year 2020, you know, daily, every day, you know, with perseverance, with commitment, without discipline, you know, we are there and we it is it has become an excellent habit. Make it a way of life, you know, we've made it a way of life, we thank God for that. Then of course, when we realize uh uh that we've been involved in in bad habits, uh you know, we have to quit. We have to quit. Otherwise, we remain uh uh you know in a situation which is not satisfactory. We have to separate ourselves from others, and particularly where we land where we may have been learning bad habits. We must be people who can make decisions, you know, decisive action when it comes to getting the best. And then you reminded us that God sends his messenger to come and you know help you to walk with him. God you know sends angels, his angels to walk with you, his messengers, and it's kind of because like now in the cream family, we are able to walk together, we are able to go walk together. Um and again, when it comes to the good habits, uh God is a way, and we have to imbibe and and and and and learn his ways for us to be able to practice good habits. So uh by and large, by and large, uh uh this has been quite refreshing. It is uh a new experience. We should I stand up because it is clear now, it has to be a yearly thing we will be doing it that way. Uh it will be refreshing us as we move forward. Um purpose-driven life, you know, God at the center of it all, using the right roadmap, you know, and God provides the right roadmap for us, and the fact that the super successful people in the world have led purple-driven life. And by and large, all the topics have been quite refreshing, quite um, quite uh uh new, uh, giving us a new experience and that holistic uh attach as talked about. Thank you, brother Isaac. Let me give the opportunity to someone else, and may God bless.
SPEAKER_02Thank you so much. Amazing, and we bless the Lord for that. Let's take Catherine. I think Mikali will do it next week. We'll take Catherine and then Brother Ndoro will come and wrap it up for us.
Forgiveness Letters And Freedom From Fear
SPEAKER_08Thank you, thank you so much, inshallah, brothers and sisters. Uh, it is a great morning, and it has been a great uh challenge uh for all of us. I'm just listening to the testimonies and I'm like, wow, we will never be the same again. Uh for me, the highlighter for this challenge uh for the 14 days that we have been able to walk through, I can say uh it has not been easy to write those letters, and especially when there are letters to people that you held very dear, and people you trusted, and people that hurt you very deeply. Uh, I remember one day I was doing that in the bedroom and my daughter walked in and just found me crying. And she was just wondering what has happened to man. And what I have learned from writing of these letters is that when you let your emotions bear and put it on paper just like you felt it, or you've been going through it, and you tell God just to help you release it and leave the bitterness, leave the the pain behind you. Friends, it is real. Though it is not very easy. The temptation to quit on the way and comfort and console your way mid writing a letter is very real. But I've I've realized the more you keep going and you put it down until you get to the end of it and you release it all. It is uh but it brings a totally different feeling altogether. And you know the funniest thing, you'll meet with this brother or sister next, and you become surprised how free you look and how burdened they look, and that brings the difference, you know, and that tells you surely the letter worked, you're no longer carrying the burden. They they might be carrying the burdens themselves, but yourself you put that load down. And I remember it was on uh on on Wednesday. Uh some of my colleagues have been telling me something seems to be changing. You s you look different, you appear different. And I tried to prompt one so that I could get what they are seeing that is changing in my life. But he was also not sure what they're seeing. But uh the truth is when things change in us, even the outside world can pick it from where they are. And finally, I've been battling with fear for the longest time. I remember I had a meeting with one of us on Thursday, and I was telling them there's someone who's battled with fear since they were young, it's Catherine. I fear to hurt, I fear to annoy, I fear to do wrong things, even when I'm on the right side, you know. And this fear has oppressed me for so many years. But as the as we went through the challenge, I discovered it is something that I can overcome, you know. It is a bad habit. For me, it is a bad habit. Even if you're asked what you're fearing, you can't even explain. You fear to do, you fear to offend, even when you're on the right. So uh as a way forward and in a way to implement that, I've been able to make serious, serious strides. I've pushed myself, of course, with the with the Lord helping me. And as I sit here today, I can see the fruits from who I was and the things I failed to take charge of, and who I am today, and the things I've been able to achieve within a week because of fear. I remember even my boss told me, was was asking me, what plans do you what plans do you have? And I realized he can see something is changing. I'm no longer oppressed simply. And uh uh friends, these things are working, and I believe they'll continue to work for us. Let's let's hang in there even when our bodies are are weak, and I'm sure it is for the Lord's glory.

Using The Right Map For Life
SPEAKER_09Thank you, thank you, my brother. And let me take this time to thank everyone of us who is given this testimony this morning, and also I thank God because of all that all of us were going through. Number one, as I just say two things. Uh, I think for me, since we started this challenge, I've seen a lot of transformation in my life, and it's it's been tied, and as the emphasis has been put by our brother, is the change comes if you only arise and put it into practice. It has literally I I have I can tell you I've really really been transformed by this challenge. The other thing which I want also to put an emphasis is being the 11th one. Always it comes with the new things. Always when we are taken through, especially for the last two weeks, um getting very new things. And and and I want to put an empathy to all of us, let's just arise and uh and uh put what we are being taught into practice. And one of the things, number one, as you I'm as I'm getting transformed, as we are getting transformed, of course, the change the first people to see the change, of course, are the people who are near you, your family will see the change, your friends will see the change, the people who are what whom you are doing business with, the people whom you are working with in the office or whichever place you are, the change is reflected. And of course, once this change is reflected, of course, people start growing, people start uh changing in the right direction. Number number twice. I finish uh like this of uh the the one which you hear just about ambits. I think this is something which really affects people's character. And for me, I could pinpoint quite a number of ambits which of course which have been uh negative, and I was saying, look, this in I I was pinpointing the things which I need to change, the ambits which I need to change. I could create quite a number. I was telling God when we are praying, we were telling God, God, enable me to change this. God can help me to change this because this is some of the things, of course, there's no way somebody can tell you change this, but unless the Spirit of God uh helps us to change or to leave some of the ambitious when grasp the the positive ones, or there's no way unless I know every one of us, there is the Bible says in the book of Romans, none of us is perfect, and uh I know there are some things which even people know about me, some ambits which I may not know about them, but people know about me. There are others which of course maybe me I know about myself, others which my friends know, and I also know. But with all this, the thing which is very important is with all these, the things which even others which I don't know, but the only the good thing is God knows all of them all around. So I was telling God because you know all around it's your God will help me such that even the ones which I come my I don't know about, but my friends know about may the spirit reveal it to me such that I can work on them, and I know tomorrow going to be a better person. I'll be a person who will be quick to forgive, I'll be a better person who will be quick to be perversion with the people, and and there's quite a number of so many. So, uh what we are talking about, the map, we talked about the map. Which map am I using? Yesterday I was talking with somebody I was encouraging, and we were discussing about what's happening in this country. He says this, and it he says this, and I told I was telling him it depends on the map you are using, it depends on the map which people are using this country in the church and all over. Maybe you are in Mombasa and you are you are in Mombasa, and it's been said being in Mombasa and you are using the narrow map to locate somewhere. There's no way you reach the destination. So, brethren, uh let's use what we are learning, of course, to have our lives transformed, then we'll transform others. Let's lift it up and those who are not with us, let's lift it and we start practicing in other in encouraging other people. Last week they there are two there are two ladies in the office who might realize that they couldn't talk to one another. And when I talked to one of one of them, she told me that in fact she even she wrote her transviolet because she didn't want to stay where the other one was. And Lily she explained to me why you find that it was not something which is very big, but they could talk one uh to one another, and uh she wanted to leave. But I can remember I started talking to her about forgiveness, about owning what what uh how is that one is going to affect her even uh health. But I think this week I've seen a very big change in her. She's now becoming happy, she's some good size, is either see them even speak to one another. And I think all what we are learning is just to help ourselves as we help the people who are living with us. And let me say the first thing start, the change must be seen in our family, the change needs to be lifted and be applied in our family members. And let me, as I conclude, let me say, as much as we listen, as much as we are being taken through this, ladies, let's practice what we are learning in this challenge in the name of Jesus.
Closing Prayer And Next Steps
SPEAKER_09I think I can just say a prayer, then we I give it to our brother.
