WAISLAM 80 WABATIZWA HAMBURG UJERUMANI

Watu 80 kutoka dini ya kiislam wamebatizwa kwa mpigo mjini Hamburg - Ujeruman

Wamedai kuwa sasa wanaelewa Uungu wa Yesu ambaye anapigwa vita sana kwenye nchi za Kiislam. Waislam hao walisema kuwa wameona upendo mkubwa sana kwa Wakristo jambao ambalo ni ndoto kwenye nchi za Kiislam.
Maelfu wanaingia Ukristo kila siku. Hakika MAVUNO NI MENGI.

At least 80 migrants in Hamburg have converted to Christianity from Islam in a mass baptism, but some question their motives.

In German Father’s Day is celebrated every year, not on the same date but rather on the Thursday 40 days after Easter. Father’s Day means more to Germans than simply celebrating their fathers but also for many religious Germans it is celebrating the Christian father on Ascension day.  This year saw 80 men and women from Afghanistan and Iran baptized and taking their first communion Stern reports.

“Today is a great day for us,” said Mahshad, one of the new converts. Mahshad came with her husband Amir to Germany from the Islamic Republic of Iran where converting to Christianity is illegal and can result at best in social exclusion and at worst, the death penalty.  The pair currently live outside of Hamburg in an asylum home and were invited to Germany by a Persian-Christian organization called “Alpha and Omega” who helped them apply for asylum in Germany.

The couple are not unique among migrants converting to Christianity. Breitbart London has reported many cases of migrants becoming Christians after they reach Europe like “Christopher” in Vienna who came to Europe from Afghanistan and said that he had wanted to convert for years but was afraid of the consequences.

However, Migrant converts like Christopher are finding that becoming Christians in Europe may not spare them from reprisal from Muslims. Christopher told an Austrian paper that he feared walking around in Muslim dominated neighbourhoods in Vienna and said his conversion, even in Europe could potentially be a “death sentence.”

Migrants who have converted and live in asylum homes are also under constant pressure, bullying, threats and intimidation from Muslims. Many Christians have had to flee asylum homes because of threats or acts of violence toward them. Some have even suggested that the situation for Christians is so dangerous that European governments should consider segregating them from Muslims.

At the mass baptism not everyone was pleased about the migrant’s conversion. One elderly woman witnessing the event said: “That’s ridiculous, who are they trying to fool here?” casting doubt on the sincerity of the converts. For many migrants, asylum approval is not guaranteed, especially from countries considered safe like Iran or Afghanistan. Converts to Christianity, because of the harsh punishments for doing so in the Middle East, are often approved by the German government for asylum.

Pastor Babajan who conducted the baptisms said he has strict guidelines to make sure those being baptized are legitimate. He said: “If I have the impression that someone does not believe from the heart, then I do not baptize him,” and acknowledged he had come across migrants who wanted baptism simply for asylum reasons but maintained, “whoever does not believe will not baptized.”

New convert Mahshad expressed her worries about living at the asylum home along with her former co-religionists. She said she and her partner have to pretend they are going to the gym when they go to a Sunday service and “it has been shown that we can not openly profess Christianity ourselves in Germany. Here the Muslims are stronger than the Christians. It is this Islam we fled.”

WAYS TO INVEST IN YOURSELF AND WHY IT’S SO POWERFUL

Investing in yourself is one of the best return on investment you can have. Whether its investing in learning a new skills, developing yourself personally, or professionally, tapping into your creativity or hiring a coach, you need to give to yourself first before you can give to others.

 

 It is our responsibility to take the time to develop our gifts and talents, so we can best serve others. Investing in yourself is an example of self-love, you must love yourself before you can expect others to love you.

Why is investing in yourself so powerful?
Investing in yourself, sends a powerful message to yourself and the world. The message is:
The value and potential that I possess, is important enough to me that I’m going to give it the energy, space and time to grow and create results.

When you’re willing to say yes, and take that leap of faith and invest in yourself, the universe will provide you with amazing rewards.
I would like to share some incredible ways that you can invest in yourself - the great news is they don’t all require money.
Megan’s Top 10 Ways to Invest in Yourself

1. Set goals. Learn how to set personal and business goals for yourself. If you’re not taking the time to set goals it’s like driving in the dark with the headlights turned off. You will not know where you’re going and you will waste precious time. Be sure to also set some time frames in which to meet them. Your goals should be SMART goals -Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely.
2. Honor your intuition. You can show yourself love by trusting your gut and honoring the message that it’s sending. Listening to your intuition, will allow you to make better decisions. Valuing your intuition, by not allowing the thoughts, feelings or statements of others to take away from what you know to be true is very empowering. By paying attention to how you feel, it will help you to make better, smarter and quicker decisions. I know for me personally, if I choose to ignore my gut or intuition when I feel a strong feeling about something, it almost always is a decision or action that I end up regretting. I have learned to always trust my intuition and that is what leads me in my life and business.
3. Invest time in your creativity. Our creativity doesn’t have to diminish as we get older. In fact, it is believed that the peak of creativity in most people is around 30-40 years old. (Lindaur, 1998, Marisiske &Willis, 1998) Creativity can be the catalyst in the manifestation of continual learning and lifelong activity. It allows us to be inspired, have fun and appreciate the beauty in the world.
4. Invest in building your confidence. People who know their value, have something to say and others will listen. You can invest in yourself by developing an understanding of the value that you possess and offer others. Learn to have the courage to speak your truth. The more you love yourself and own the value that you offer, the more confident you will become in sharing it with others.
5. Read educational books. Books or audio books are an awesome resource to build your knowledge and expertise in any area.
6. Attend seminars and workshops to expand your knowledge and skills in your business and/or personal life. This will also give you the opportunity to meet and interact with individuals who are like-minded.
7. Take care of your health. Eat right each day, fueling your body with nutrients. When you focus on eating organic and healthier choices, you will feel better and have more energy. I know that the unhealthy burger or cupcake gives us instant gratification, but if you’re like me, you regret it later, because you feel lousy afterwards. Exercise daily. Do something every day to get moving and get your heart rate up, even, if it’s just walking the dog. Exercise gives you the energy to take on the day with confidence because of how it makes you look and feel. I have dedicated
a whole chapter in my book on health (Chapter 11) because of just how important it is to your success!
8. Choose to be happy. Happiness is a choice. Happy people choose to focus on the positive aspects of life, rather than the negative. They are not held hostage by their circumstances. They look at all the reasons to be grateful. “Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”- Abraham Lincoln
9. Work on your bucket list. If you don’t have a bucket list, then it’s time to start one. Your bucket list is meant to be a list of everything you want to achieve, do, see, feel and experience in your life. Your list may be ongoing, but you can start by writing 100 things down. Then each month or so, make sure you’re knocking out at least, one of the items on your list.
10. Invest in a coach. A coach can assist you in putting all of these strategies into action. A coach is your partner in success. It is their job to assist you in creating and implementing your success plan, so you can become the best that you can be.
I can promise this: When you invest in yourself, a world of opportunities will open up for you. And, if you have a business where you sell your services, you must know that no one will invest in you until you invest in yourself first.
Investing in yourself emotionally, physically, spiritually and financially, will allow you to become the best version of yourself. When you are the best version of yourself, you will be an attraction magnet to others!
Please share which of the 10 tips listed above you plan to implement this week...I would love to hear from you!

HUU NDIO UWEKEZAJI UNAOLIPA KULIKO UWEKEZAJI MWINGINE

Kuna uwekezaji mmoja unaolipa kuliko uwekezaji mwingine wowote. Ukiwekeza vizuri kwenye uwekezaji huu, lazima uwekezaji mwingine utalipa tu. Ukishindwa kuwekeza vizuri kwenye uwekezaji huu, hautafika mbali kwenye safari ya mafanikio.

Kuna uwekezaji mmoja unaolipa kuliko uwekezaji mwingine wowote. Ukiwekeza vizuri kwenye uwekezaji huu, lazima uwekezaji mwingine utalipa tu. Ukishindwa kuwekeza vizuri kwenye uwekezaji huu, hautafika mbali kwenye safari ya mafanikio.

Uwekezaji huu ni kuwekeza kwako wewe binafsi. Ni kujitengeneza wewe binafsi. Kuitengeneza akili yako, mwili wako, roho yako, hisia na mahusiano yako na wengine. Ili uwe na mafanikio makubwa lazima uwekeze kwako binafsi kwanza.

Kuna maeneo manne ambayo unahitaji kuyafanyia kazi kila siku ili uwe na ufanisi mkubwa kwenye yale unayofanya. Haya hapa ni maeneo makuu manne unayotakiwa kuwekeza;

- Eneo la kwanza ni afya ya kiroho au imani.
Hili ni eneo lenye umuhimu sana kwako na ni eneo linalokupa maana halisi ya maisha yako. Kila siku ni lazima ukue kiroho, kila siku ni lazima uhakikishe unakua imani yako. Kila siku unahitaji kujenga imani yako, ili maisha yako yawe na maana. Kila siku hakikisha unaungana na chanzo chako cha kiroho (kwa maombi, sala au tajuhudi (meditation)) na kuwa mtu wa kushukuru kwa kila jambo.

- Eneo la pili ni mwili.
Bila kuwa na afya bora ya mwili wako, ni ngumu sana kutekeleza majukumu mengine kwenye maisha yako. Kama mwili wako unasumbua hata mafanikio yako huwezi kabisa kuyafurahia.

Ni lazima utunze sana mwili wako. Hakikisha unakula chakula bora na kufanya mazoezi ili kuujenga mwili wako. Pata muda wa kutosha wa kupumzika pia. Usingangane kutafuta mafanikio kwa kujitesa sana mwili wako. Hakuna maana ya kupata mafanikio, alafu mwisho wa siku unakuwa mgonjwa na unashindwa kufurahia mafanikio yako. Wekeza kwa kutunza mwili wako.

- Eneo la tatu ni akili.
Ili uwe na ufanisi mkubwa, unahitaji kutunza afya yako ya akili. Afya yako ya akili inatunzwa kwa kuongeza maarifa kila siku. Soma vitabu, kati ya vitabu vizuri vya kuvisoma ni pamoja na kile nilichokiandika mimi mwenyewe, kitafute au toa oda nitakutumia. Kinaitwa "MARUFUKU KUKATA TAMAA". sikiliza kanda za sauti kukuhamsisha na kukufundisha, hudhuria semina na kuna muda inabidi urudi darasani kusoma. Kuandika pia ni njia nzuri ya kuwekeza kwenye akili yako, kuwa na sehemu ya kuandika kila siku. Kuandika kunaifanya akili yako ifikiri vizuri.

Je Unailisha Nafsi Yako Kama Unavyoulisha Mwili Wako?

Watu wengi tunakula mara tatu kwa siku yaani kifungua kinywa, chakula cha mchana na chakula cha usiku. Ukweli tunahitaji chakula bora ili mili yetu iweze kufanya kazi. Mili yetu inapokuwa na njaa, ni sharti kuipa chakula.

Kwenye kuipa mili yetu chakula uwa hatuko nje ya muda. Tumekuwa ni wazuri sana kufata ratiba yetu ya kula, inapofika muda fulani tunajua kabisa tunatakiwa kula, kwa hiyo tunatafuta chakula tunakula.

Mili yetu tunaijali sana, lakini nataka nikuulize swali moja; je unailisha nafsi yako kama unavyoulisha mwili wako? Ukweli watu wengi hatuzilishi nafsi zetu chakula. Rafiki kama unakula mara tatu kwa siku, je ni mara ngapi kwa siku unailisha akili yako?

Inawezekana unatumia zaidi ya elfu kumi kwa siku kwa ajili ya chakula cha mwili. Je unatumia shilingi ngapi kwa siku kwa ajili ya chakula cha nafsi yako?

Rafiki, naamini ulishawai kusikia mtu anasema kuliko kupoteza shilingi elfu tano kwa ajili ya kitabu ni bora hiyo pesa niende nikale chakula. Hili limenitokea mara nyingi ninapohamasisha watu kununua kitabu changu. Watu wengine kununua kitabu kwa ajili ya nafsi yake ni kupoteza pesa, anaona kama anaibiwa vile. Naamini sio wewe rafiki.

Watu wengi waliofanikiwa uwa tunaona kama ni wenye bahati tu. Lakini ukifatilia unakuja kujua watu hawa hawajafanikiwa kwa bahati tu. Moja ya kitu ambacho wanakifanya kila siku na kinawafanya wazidi kufanikiwa ni kuzilisha nafsi zao. Yaani kila siku lazima aingize kitu kipya kwenye nafsi yake.

Punguza muda mwingi unaoperuzi kwenye mitandao ya kijamii, kusikiliza redio na kuangalaia Tv. Na tumia muda huo kuwekeza kwenye akili yako. Usipokuwa makini na mambo unayoingiza kwenye akili yako, dunia itakuendesha.

- Eneo la mwisho ni hisia na mahusiano.
Hapa unahitaji kuhakikisha mahusino yako na hisia zako zinaenda sawa. Unapojenga mahusiano bora, yanajenga hisia bora pia. Hakikisha unaboresha mahusiano yako na watu wako wa karibu na watu wengine wanaokuzunguka. Hakuna maana ya kubanana na mafanikio, ukakosa muda wa kutosha wa kuwa na familia yako na watu wako wa karibu. Hakikisha unapata muda wa kutosha wa kuwa na watu wako karibu. Hii itajenga hisia zako.

Mambo Mawili (2) Yanayojenga Mahusiano Bora:

Kwa sababu mahusiano yetu yana mchango mkubwa sana kwenye mafanikio yetu, leo naomba tujifunze/ tujikumbushe mambo mawili ambayo yatatusaidia kujenga mahusiano bora kati yetu na watu wengine. Haya hapa ni mambo mawili yanayojenga mahusiano yetu:

Upendo

Bila upendo mahusiano yetu lazima yatapoa. Bila upendo mahusiano yetu na wengine yanapoteza thamani. Ni wajibu wako rafiki yangu kuwapenda wengine kama unavyojipenda wewe. Ipende familia yako, mpende bosi wako, wapende wafanyakazi wenzako, wapende wateja wako, wapende wafanyabiashara wenzako.

Kama binadamu kila mtu ana mapungufu yake. Kama binadamu kuna kipindi tunakosea. Upendo unapokuwepo ni rahisi sana kwa watu kusameheana pale wapokoseana. Upendo unapokuwepo unaficha madhaifu yetu pia na kutufanya tuishi kwa furaha na amani na watu wengine.

Upendo unawafanya watu wawe karibu zaidi. Kinyume cha upendo ni chuki. Chuki inabomoa, upendo unajenga. Chuki inaleta kugombona, upendo unapatanisha. Ili tufanikiwe tunahitaji kupendana bila kuangalia dini zetu, kabila zetu, hata rangi zetu. Tumeumbwa na Mungu kwa kutegemeana ni jukumu letu kupendana na sio kubaguana.

Kuheshimiana

Tunapaswa kuwaheshimu wengine. Mme muheshimu mke na mke muheshimu mme. Watoto wawaheshimu wazazi na wazazi wawaheshimu wanao. Kila mtu anapenda kuheshimiwa, kila mtu anapenda kuona anapewa heshima kwa vile alivyo na kwa mchango anaotoa.

Hayo ndio maeneo manne makubwa unayohitaji kuwekeza. Huu ni uwekezaji unaolipa kuliko uwekeza mwingine wowote. Ukiwekeza vizuri, matunda yake sio haba na hii itajenga sana ufanisi wako.

Tafakari njema rafiki yangu. Tuko pamoja.

JIAMBATANISHE NA WATU WATAKAO KUFANYA UWE BORA ZAIDI

Kuna watu wanaweza kuwa sababu ya mafanikio yako au kushindwa kwako, kuinuka kwako au kushuka kwako, kufanya vizuri au kufanya vibaya, kwenda mbali au kubaki hapo hapo!

Chunguza kwa makini watu unao ambatana nao na ikiwezekana, achana na wale wasiokufaa. Sijasema uwadharau, nimesema ujitenge nao. Wengine ni nyoka kwako wanatema sumu, wengine ni kinyonga, wanabadilika badilika, wengine ni konokono, wengine ni Mbweha, kazi yao kuharibu mizabibu, wengine ni Kuku, maisha yao ni ya chini, hivyo wewe kama Tai unahitaji kwenda juu…

Lakini pia zingatia haya;

KUWA NA HESHIMA KWA WATU WENYE MAMLAKA YA KIROHO.

Kuna maeneo 3 yenye mamlaka ya kiroho. Serikali [Taifa], Kanisa na Familia.

Heshimu maeneo haya. Kuna watu wanajikosesha baraka kwa kukosana na maeneo haya 3. Yule ambaye unadhani ni adui ktk maeneo haya matatu mpendwa wangu yamkini ndo amebeba muujiza wa kuinuliwa kwako. Daudi hakumdharau Sauli pamoja na kwamba Mungu alikuwa tayari ameshamkataa. Yusufu hakumdharau Farao au Potifa. Daniel hakuudharau uongozi wa Babeli. Maadui zako ndio waliobeba baraka zako na miujiza yako. Kwenye maeneo haya matatu usigombane nao kama wanakuchukia. Waombee na kuwatakia baraka siku zote nawe utashangaa namna utakavyokuwa ukitembea ktk kibali na neema ya Mungu.

Nakuhakikishia hebu chukua nafasi ya kuombea viongozi wako eneo lako la kazi kila siku uone mabadiliko ktk ofisi yako. Chukua nafasi ya kuombea viongozi wako wa kanisa hata kama wanakuchukia. Chukua nafasi kuwaombea wazazi wako na mwenzi wako hata kama hajaokoka na hata kama anakuchukia. Hao ndio waliobeba ushuhuda na muujiza na baraka zako mwana wa Mungu. Usiwachukie. Maandiko yanasema ‘Wala haikanushiki kabisa kwamba mdogo hubarikiwa na mkubwa’ #WAEBRANIA 7:7. Wakubwa wako hawa wamebeba muujiza wako. Waombee sasa.

Nasema asante kwa Bishop Kitonga, Mtume Fernandos, Dr. Livingstone Banjagala, Dr. Lakhan wa UK, Rose Sarwatt (Mwenyekiti wa TAWIA), Dr. Getrude Rwakatare, Askofu Jangalason, Dr. Migiro (balozi wa Tanzania Wingereza), Mh. Jakaya, Rev. Alex (Mkufunzi wangu pale ISOM na Christian Leadership University), Rev. Wilson Waidhaka (Rafiki yangu sana hapo Nairobi), Rev. Benjamin Bukuku  na wengine kibao. Hekima yenu, ushauri wenu, mafundisho yenu na maisha yenu yamefanyika msaada kwangu na kwa watu wengi.
