RIGHTEOUSNESS IN FAMILY



Psalms 55:22 “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”
Umtwike BWANA mzigo wako naye atakutegemeza, Hatamwacha mwenye haki aondoshwe milele.”

Psalms 23:1-3





Introduction

WHO IS A RIGHTEOUS PERSON?
Adjective
  1. Moral and virtuous,
  2. Free from sin or guilt.
  3. Justified morally.

RIGHTEOUSNESS: Is the quality or state of being righteous;

God’s righteousness is absolute moral perfection and absence of all sin or contact with anything less than perfect righteousness equal to His own. Divine righteousness is the absolute standard by which God judges all of His created beings according to Psalms 119:137. God is infinitely holy and perfectly righteous in all of His ways as stated in Deuteronomy 32:4. His righteousness is evident in all of His attributes. This is because God’s righteousness prevents any compromise of His perfect justice. God’s perfect justice prevents any compromise of His other attributes from any source.

Righteous are You, O Lord, and upright are Your judgments. (Psalms 119:137)
“The Rock! His work is perfect, for all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, righteous and upright is He.” (Deuteronomy 32:4)

To be “righteous” means to be acting in accordance with all of God’s laws and statutes and without sin or guilt. Because God is perfect in all of His attributes, God’s righteousness is perfect, eternal, unchangeable, and absolute.

  • Can you measure righteousness? NO.
  • Is there an ultimate righteousness? YES
  • Who determines? GOD

Romans 3:10 “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”
“Kama ilivyoandikwa, yakwamba, Hakuna mwenye haki hata mmoja.”

ASPECTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
  1. Family
  2. Worship
  3. Justice & Responsibility 
  1. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS IN FAMILY

Mark 10:20-21,24-30

From this script, we encounter a conversation between Jesus Christ and his disciplines after a meeting with a multitude of people. The Pharisees as usual had bombarded Jesus with a million dollar question which he settled. After scolding at his disciples for blocking a child from seeing him, said,



“[25] It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
“Ni rahisi ngamia kupenya katika tundu la sindano kuliko tajiri kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu."

He later challenges them by saying,
"[29]And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,"
"Yesu akasema, Amin, nawaambieni, Hakuna mtu aliyeacha nyumba, au ndugu waume, au ndugu wake, au mama, au baba, au watoto, au mashamba, kwa ajili yangu, na kwa ajili ya Injili,"

This means, when he said back in Verse 21,
"[21] Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me."
"Yesu akamkazia macho, akampenda, akamwambia, Umepungukiwa na neon moja. Enenda, ukauze ulivyonavyo vyote, uwape maskini, nawe utakuwa na hazina mbinguni; kasha njoo unifuate."

We learn that, there is no need for one to accumulate a lot of wealth when the families around him lack basic needs. There is no need. There is no need for having all that is humanly possible and yet someone out there is utterly deprived. Worse of it all would be when one adores wealth more than family. It leads to neglect.Or the feeling of the same depending on what side you look at it. This happens in most families (whether they eventually get rich is based upon a number of factors thus the varied family dynamics) where they spend their entire youth and mid-age accumulating money and forgetting one basic principle: Family comes first.

All that truly matters to a human being is family. Whether yours or someone else’s. That is what God expects of us for this is not man made but God made. It is a gift from God. No wonder God doesn’t like divorce.

Mark 10:9 “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
“Basi alichokiunganisha Mungu, mwanadamu asikitenganishe.”

So no matter how much you love God and love serving Him, if you do not value your family, is a waste of time. Whatever you earn along the way, wouldamount to nothing since,

“[25] It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. “
“Ni rahisi ngamia kupenya katika tundu la sindano kuliko tajiri kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu.”

WHO HAS A DETERGENT FOR KENYAN POLITICS?

Political philosophy is the study of topics such as politics, liberty, justice, property, rights, law, and the enforcement of a legal code by authority: what they are, why (or even if) they are needed, what, if anything, makes a government legitimate, what rights and freedoms it should protect and why, what form it should take and why, what the law is, and what duties citizens owe to a legitimate government, if any, and when it may be legitimately overthrown, if ever.

In a vernacular sense, the term "political philosophy" often refers to a general view, or specific ethic, political belief or attitude, about politics, synonymous to the term "political ideology".
This is the guide book for any leader who chooses a political route to meeting the populous’ needs as it is, also a reminder to citizens of what is expected of them.

Having this in mind, I would like to delve into a matter I personally find trivial in its every sense. Once elected, appointed, selected or otherwise, a leader is supposed to observe a certain code of ethics as a bare minimum. The code incorporates values, principles, and professional standards.
Politics is a very exciting mind game but we sometimes allow amateurs into it. This is the cause of all the rot and filth that brand it dirty.

There has been a rising trend of politicians hurling insults that touch on family. Family is a NO GO ZONE! Get this. No matter the pressure, no matter the anger, no matter the excitement. Stay away from other people’s families. This, if not immediately, will come back to haunt you.

Mentioning someone’s family in your statement would stir so much anger whose repercussion, you cannot resist. We can learn from Joho Vs. Uhuru duel. Joho has been consistently taking on Uhuru and the presidency, yet at no time has he ever mentioned the president’s family. Raila Odinga has been in contest with almost every team but never has he ever insulted someone’s family. That is respect. Are you still wondering why the former First Lady, Lucy Kibaki never spared the media either? Her family came first and that was important to her. Any sane person knows that. It is being mature and responsible. She was the loudest when angry but never insulted someone’s family. Why would you attack hers? So however furious you might be with someone, if you cannot respect them, at least respect their family.
Kwaheri guyz! Let me rush back to the studio to make that music.

What Ails Kenya

Kenya was held hostage the first time those instruments of power were transferred from a white "enemy" to a black "comrade". I know many are asking asking themselves a barrage of of questions like ‘How’, ‘Why’, ‘when’, ‘what’ ..

This is how:

Kenya's most influencial sectors are being run by cartels and this is the root of all our troubles from food insecurity, poor health, etc.

When a black man was handed over power, they embraced the phrase "it's our turn to eat" hence the public greed and insensitivity to what aggrieves the population.

The most saddening part is they will do anything to justify their action even if it means they pontificate it and so you know how those fighting for a better living for all will be termed... 'Devils' agent. They will rally idle, illiterate and semi-illeterate, desperate youths to champion their course. If you persist, you are an enemy of the state.

Sasha Mbote voiced saying, “ Yes I know we are not meant to speak up but some of us rather die standing than kneeling we will speak till we are heard”.

We will be discussing this and many more topics, moving forward. Keep it #Santic

Fixing The Statehouse Part 1 [VIDEO]

#TheDonSays | #FixingTheStatehouse

WE CAN PEACEFULLY UNITE TO LOVE

“The most perilous people in the world are not the tiny minority instigating evil acts, but those who heed to their command. For example, when the whites invaded Afrika, many Afrikans accepted to work for the British to kill off Afrikans who resisted their occupation. So in other words, many Afrikans were hired to kill other Afrikans on behalf of the enemy for a paycheck. 

Today, we have mercenaries in Africa, corporate armies from the western world, and unemployed men throughout Kenya and beyond killing their own people - and people of other nations - for a paycheck. To act without a conscience, but for a paycheck, makes any human a dangerous animal. The devil would be powerless if he couldn't entice people to do his work. So as long as money continues to seduce the hungry, the hopeless, the broken, the greedy, the tribal, the racists, and the needy, there will always be war between brethren.”
