MAJINA YA WANAWAKE KATIKA BIBLIA ‘A’ HADI ‘Z’

            Kuanzia sura hii ya tatu na sura kadhaa zitakazofuata zitahusu wanawake baadhi waliotajwa majina yao katika Biblia. Hivyo, wanawake waliotajwa majina yao katika Biblia, nimejaribu kuwagawa kwa kufuata mpangilio wa herufi ya kwanza katika majina yao hadi ya mwisho. Kwa hiyo, unapopitia kila jina la mwanamke kunamambo mengi ya kujifunza katika maisha ya kiroho na ya kawaida, aidha, maana ya jina, tabia, matendo na imani. Abia             Jina hili linamanisha “matakwa ya Mungu” . Wakati mwingine jina hili humanisha Baba yangu ni Yehova. Mwanamke huyu alikuwa mke wa Hesroni, aliyemzalia mumewe mtoto wa kiume aitwaye Ashuri, babaye Tekoa. “Tena, baada ya kufa kwake Hesroni huko Kalebu-Efrata, ndipo Abia, mkewe Hesroni, alipomzalia Ashuri, babaye Tekoa” (1Nyakati 2:24). Abiya             Mwanamke huy...

SOMO: MADHARA YA KUKATAA KUMTII MUNGU

Image
FUNGU KUU : ( Mwanzo 6:6-8) . “BWANA akaghairi kwa kuwa amemfanya mwanadamu duniani, akahuzunika moyo. BWANA akasema, nitamfutilia mbali mwanadamu niliyemwumba usoni pa nchi; mwanadamu na mnyama, na kitaambaacho na ndege wa angani; kwa maana naghairi kwamba nimewafanya. Lakini Nuhu akapata neema machoni pa Bwana” UTANGULIZI : Katika somo hili “Madhara ya kukataa Kumtii Mungu” limehusisha kitabu kilicho andikwa na Musa hususani sura ya 3, sura ya 4, sura ya 5, sura ya 6 na ile sura ya 7. Katika sura hizi kunamambo makubwa ya kujifunza ili yatujenge katika safari yetu ya wokovu. Tutaona jinsi gani anguko la mwanadamu linavyotokea kwa sababu tu ya kukataa kumtii Mungu pamoja na madhara yake. Katika sura hizo zote; visa vyake vimefupishwa mno katika biblia, hivyo wengi huwa wanashindwa kuelewa mambo mengi na yamsingi. KIINI CHA SOMO : 1. Dhambi iliingia duniani kwa sababu Adamu na Hawa hawakuweza kutii taratibu na sheria za Mungu (Mwanzo 3:1-3). Ukisoma kwa umakini kati...

MFANO WA MPANGO KAZI

Image
KANISA LA WAADVENTISTA WA SABATO LIWALE MPANGO KAZI WA OFISI YA MAKATIBU/MAKARANI WA KANISA (2015/2016) UTANGULIZI. Idara/ofisi ya karani/katibu ni idara nyeti ambayo inaunganisha shughuli zote za kanisa. Kutokana na wengi wa wahiriki na viongozi wa kanisa au makarani/makatibu wenyewe kutoipa kipaumbele idara hii ni kwa sababu ya kutojua uthamani wake katika ukamilifu wa safari yetu ya kwenda mbinguni. Kazi ya ukarani imeanza toka enzi za kale, ambapo hadi sasa tunapata takwimu, kumbukumbu na taarifa sahihi kwenye biblia (Mfano; Kutoka 1:1-5 n.k.). Bila huduma za kiukarani biblia ingekuwa kitabu kisichojithibitisa maana kingejichanganya kwa kukosa kumbukumbu. Mambo mengi yameandikwa juu ya umuhimu wa kuweka mpango kwa kila jambo afanyalo mtu. Kanisa hali kadhalika lina wajibu wa kujua madhumuni ya uwepo wake pamoja na mazingira yanayolizunguka kwa kuzingatia umuhimu wake kama inavyosisitizwa katika maandiko matakatifu; kuwahubiri mataifa habari njema ya wok...
