Indian Christians beaten by mob for evangelising, distributing flyers

Three Indians Christians were attacked by a mob for supposedly trying to convert the local Hindus. The incident occurred in Khargar and Taloja in Navi Mumbai, where 45-year-old pastor, Prashant Bhatnagar, and two other members of his church, were distributing Christian literature.
The mob attacked the three Christians both verbally and physically. According to a report on The Times of India, one of the three victims was admitted to a hospital after he sustained severe injuries on account of being kicked and punched.
The pastor, meanwhile, was forcefully dragged over to a prison site where he was threatened with a revolver, as the mob warned him that if he was found distributing Christian pamphlets again, they would set him on fire. Christian Daily reveals that one of the men proceeded so far as to urinate on Pastor Bhatnagar, who was already badly beaten by the aggressors.
Unconscious, he was left on the street where a passersby noticed the beaten man and took him to a hospital. Reacting to the incident, Maharashtra's former Minorities Commission vice-chairman Abraham Mathai strongly opined that the authorities needed to trace and arrest those involved in this violent act.
"This is a grave criminal act to assault a peaceful group so badly and to threaten them with a gun. The police must book and arrest all the culprits in this case," he stated.
Pastor Bhatnagar spoke up in an interview with Urdu Daily, and revealed that the mob was led by someone named Gurunath, who heads Shri Ram Pratishthan.
According to the pastor, Gurunath accused him of converting the local vegetable vendors to Christianity, and when two members of the pastor's church came forward in his support, Gurunath and his following mob turned violent.

Thousands of Muslims turn to Christ after witnessing ISIS atrocities


Christian aid workers have revealed that an increasing number of Kurdish Muslims are converting to Christianity after witnessing the violent, disturbing behaviour of extremist groups like ISIS, and the horrific acts they carry out in the name of Allah.
Speaking to Christian Aid Mission, a ministry leader in the Kurdish Region of Iraq revealed that the organisation he works with can barely keep up with the number of refugees eager to learn about Christ and the Bible. This number has skyrocketed steadily ever since ISIS overtook many parts of the region.
"They're just sick of Islam," he revealed. "People are very hungry to know about Christ, especially when they hear about miracles, healing, mercy and love. As terrifying and horrifying as ISIS is, they did us a great favour because they came and have shown them all the killing, saying that it's all in the Koran verses. So now we don't have to say much, we just say the truth."
According to numbers released by the UN, the Kurdish Region of Iraq is presently hosting 900,000 refugees, out of which around 233,000 from Syria and the rest from elsewhere in Iraq. The region has also welcomed thousands of Arabs who fled the cities of Anbar province, which the terrorist group took over back in 2014.
The ministry director explained that the organisation he works for extends assistance to those displaced by setting them up in tents and whatever unfinished buildings they find. Still, as the leader revealed, the needs for blankets, heaters, food and diapers remain high.
After showing refugees the love of Christ by meeting their needs, the workers later bring Bibles for the refugees, he revealed.
He continued, "We just help because we love them, and maybe the next time we visit we tell them about Jesus and give them Bibles. We believe in the power of the Word of God. We don't have many preachers. We don't have many missionaries, but we have the Word of God that we're able to print, purchase and deliver to the people and their children."
He went on to recall a memorable account, where a Muslim refugee from his ministry was given a Bible. "He said, 'OK, but I'm Muslim, I can't become Christian - I have a big family, and my father is a very extremist radical.'" To this, the director responded, "I didn't ask you to be Christian. I'm not trying to change your religion here. I just want you to read the Bible and know who Jesus Christ is. I want you to have a relationship with God." The Muslim man agreed and took to reading the Bible with his wife and their several children.

5 common things Muslims lose by accepting Jesus

All over the Middle East and North Africa, Muslims who have converted to Christianity struggle with their new identity in Christ. Islam is not just a part of their lives, it is their entire life. From praying in a set direction 5 times a day, to setting aside an entire month to fast, the actions required to be a Muslim are all consuming. And society is not always kind to those who disagree.
Following Christ as a former Muslim might cost you these five things:
1. Your Family
Often, direct relatives are the first and heaviest persecutors of believers from a Muslim background. For many Muslim families, leaving Islam and converting to another religion brings "shame" to the family. In moderate families, a new Christian may be ignored or excluded. In stricter families; forced separation, divorce or the removal of children are all common.
In cultures with a strong sense of shame and honour, new believers face the most pressure. Family members in this situation can feel that killing the converted family member is the only way to remove the shame from their name.
2. Your Friends
Old friends quickly become the most vocal opposition. Entire communities pressure new believers to renounce their faith in Jesus. In Iran for example, Christians from a Muslim background are considered to be unclean. Particularly in rural areas, Muslims will not shake hands with Christians, touch them in any way, or eat food they prepare.
In many Muslim countries, it's legally impossible for Christian men to marry women from Muslim families. In Yemen, if a Muslim finds out a woman has started following Christ, she will most likely be forced into marriage with a Muslim man or placed under house arrest. This causes most converts to keep their faith in Christ completely hidden.
3. Your Church
Almost nowhere in the Middle East and North Africa is it possible for former Muslims to meet at a church. In Saudi Arabia, there are no church buildings at all. Meetings of former Muslims who have accepted Christ can only take place in secret and in very small groups. Algeria is probably the most 'relaxed' country in this regard but believers still face a high degree of persecution.
In Iran, fear among believers is rising, as the government has recently increased surveillance of the house church movement. In 2015, several house churches were raided by the police. More than a hundred Christians were arrested, with many being sentenced to prison terms of varying lengths and the additional punishment of torture.
4. Your Country
All over the Muslim world, Christians who convert from Islam feel there is no option but to leave their home countries. This is especially true for Christians in Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. Death threats, constant discrimination and assassination attempts all lead Christians to feel there can be no future for them in the country of their birth. It is believed that there are currently more Saudi believers living outside of the country than there are left within it due to this.
Migrant churches in Europe and North America have seen their attendance rise as refugees from the Middle East (former Muslims among them) worship with them in freedom.
5. Your Life
Finally, people who convert to Christianity from a Muslim background come to be known as 'Apostates' and may pay the highest price of all. Some Muslims are convinced that everyone who leaves Islam should be killed. In Saudi Arabia and Iran, this is enshrined in law. In other countries like Egypt, Pakistan and Malaysia the majority of supporters for Sharia law also support death sentences for apostates.<sub><sup>[1]
Any apostate from Islam is, in theory, punishable by death if they do not recant. This is based upon the prophet Muhammad's saying, as quoted in the Hadith (Islamic tradition), "Whoever changes his religion, kill him."
Is Christ Worth It?
According to our brothers and sisters who risk everything for His sake, the answer is a resounding, "yes."
The apostle Paul, who himself gave his very life, agrees:
"Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ" - Philippians 3:8

BELGIUM: ISLAMIC TERRORIST ATTACK AVERTED as Tunisian MUSLIM driving car loaded with assault weapons, knives, and liquid gas, arrested trying to run down shoppers


MOHAMMED R, 39, a MUSLIM French national of Tunisian origin, wearing military-style clothing, was driving at high speed, trying to run down people in a busy shopping area of Antwerp, one year after the last major terrorist attack in Belgium.

The Sun  Police in the Belgian capital reportedly foiled the plot and detained the man who was carrying weapons, after he ran a through a red traffic light, Antwerp police chief Serge Muyters said. The man was arrested on Thursday after he tried to drive into a crowd at high-speed in a shopping area in the port city, a police spokesman said.

“The suspect is Mohamed R., born on May 8, 1977 and a resident of France,” the statement said. Police have confirmed the suspect was carrying knives, a rifle and a gas can with an unknown liquid at the time of the arrest.

Eyewitnesses said they saw many terrified people being forced to jump out of the way as the speed of the car increased.

The failed attack comes less than 24 hours after the depraved assault in central where an ISIS-linked Muslim knifeman mowed people down with a car. The Belgian incident also comes after the first anniversary of the Brussels’ bomb attacks also by Muslims which claimed the lives of thirty-two innocent people.

The Antwerp plot was foiled when the car was stopped as it jumped a red light, and a safety perimeter established around it immediately, said a local police source.

The driver sped off after Belgian soldiers, who have been deployed around the country to assist the counter-terrorism fight, tried to stop the car. “A short while later, a rapid intervention force from Antwerp police was able to stop the car,” the statement said.

After Israeli doctors successfully treat her gravely ill child, this is how a Gaza Muslim mother shows her appreciation


Gaza mother freely acknowledges the compassion and generosity shown to her by Jews after her young son was treated, FREE OF CHARGE, for a serious heart condition in an Israeli hospital. Despite that, she still hopes he will grow up to become a ‘shahid’ (suicide bomber) and kill a lot of Jews because Muslims “love death more than Jews love life.”

CANADA: At Peel School Board meeting, outraged parents tear up quran, demand end to Islamic prayer in public schools


Board calls on security to throw out parents and press.

The Rebel (h/t Sue K)  Parents concerned about the Peel Board’s accommodation of Muslim religious practices in public schools, continued their efforts to be heard by attending a meeting on Wednesday night adamantly expressing their objections. 

Watch what happened when several parents refused to be silenced and police and security were called upon to “help” these people with an “orderly exit”.

When the Peel School District tried to restrict the kind of Islamic sermons to just six that could be used in Friday prayers, Muslim parents threw a fit and accused the district of negatively affecting Muslim students. So the school board quickly suspended this policy.

MAPEPO NI NINI? [SEHEMU YA TANO]

Image may contain: 2 people
Somo: MAPEPO
Mada Ndogo: Njia 8 za kuyashinda mapepo.
Bwana Yesu asifiwe sana,
Ndugu mpendwa, katika sehemu Nne zilizotangulia, tumejifunza maana,asili/ chanzo cha mapepo na dalili kuu za mtu alievamiwa na mapepo. Natumai umebarikiwa sana. Haleluya! Ndugu mpendwa, napenda kukukaribisha katika mwendelezo wa mafundisho yetu juu ya mapepo,ambapo kwasasa tutaangalia kwa kina mbinu/njia za kumshinda pepo.
Ndugu yangu mpendwa, kanisa la leo, liko katika mapambano makubwa sana. Upinzani mkubwa unatoka kwa ibilisi alie shetani, mwenye sifa kuu ya uharibifu.
Hata hivyo, Mungu ameliweka kanisa kwa wakati huu wa mashambulizi kwaajili ya kuukomboa ulimwengu. Amelifanya kanisa kama asikari wa mwamvuli ambaye hushushwa katikati ya eneo ambalo bado liko mikononi mwa adui, ila ikikusudiwa kupambana na hata kushinda. Kwa mantiki hiyo, si hoja tena juu ya kushinda kwa kanisa, bali daima linashinda na litaendelea kushinda.
Katika mwendelezo wa somo letu, leo tutaziangalia njia/uwezo wa kuyashinda mapepo.
Kwanza; Yesu alitoa mamlaka kwa kanisa juu ya mapepo (Marko 16:17). Uweza huu wa ajabu, Mungu ameutoa kwa watu wote wanaomwamini Yesu Kristo kuwa Bwana na Mwokozi wao (Yohana 17:20-23). Ujue, watu wengine wanateseka kwa kuwa hawajui, yule aliye ndani yao. Biblia inasema, aliyeko ndani ya aliyeokoka ni mkubwa mno, maana yake ni kuwa, anayashinda mapepo. Usikubali kuteswa na mapepo, kemea kwa jina la Yesu, lililo jina kuu kupita majina Yote, nawe utakuwa huru.
Pili; Mapepo huamriwa kwa jina la Yesu tu (Marko 16:17). Jina maagano na ahadi ni jina la Yesu tu. Usitumie jina lingine lolote lililo nje ya jina la Yesu. Ni jina la Yesu pekee huweza kuponya,kuokoa na kuhuisha, hata mapepo yanajua hivyo.
Kutumia majina mengine ni sawa na kukosea anwani wakati wa kutuma barua, ni kweli barua itaenda ila usitegemee kupokea majibu uliyotarajia kwa kuwa barua haitaenda kwa mlengwa.
Tatu; Yafukuize kwa kutumia mamlaka uliyonayo kama ilivyoelezwa katika hoja ya kwanza. Usiyabembeleze. Tumia amri. Watu wengine hutumia majadiliano, huyafanyia sherehe, huyafukizia uvumba,udi na hata kuyachezea muziki wa asili. Ndugu yangu, waswahili wanasema” ukifanya urafiki na mkia wa fisi,utakufirisi” usikubali kukaa meza moja na mapepo, shetani habembelezwi, yatimue kwa mamlaka ya Jina la Yesu (Mathayo 12:28,Luka 11:20).
Nne; Usiyaruhusu kujieleza. Mpiganaji mzuri, hamuulizi adui ametoka wapi, yeye hushambulia hata kikosi kizimahukimaliza, kwa kuwa ni jasili na anajiamani, hababaishwi. Usikubalia kuhojiana na pepo, pepo ni waongo, watakudanganya kwa kutoa habari za uongo ili kulibomoa kanisa (mwili wa kristo) ili kuwatenganisha. Wataibua uadui kati yenu. We yaaamuru yaondoke, hata Yesu mwenyewe aliyaamuru tu yakaondoka (Luka 4:41,Marko 1:34).
Tano; Kwa kufunga na kuomba (Marko 9:29). Ndugu yangu mpendwa, kila mara, adui hushinwa kwa sala na kusoma neno. Jaama mamlaka ya mbinguni ili kumshinda ibilisi. Mtu asiye na maombi ni sawa na bunduki isiyo na risasi, na mtu asiyeomba anafanana na mlinzi anaetegea kazi yake, hutoa mwanya kwa mwizi kuvamia na kupora. Usikubali kuwa mlango wa ulegevu, daima jitahidi kuwekeza neno kwa wingi ili ujipatie maarifa zaidi.
Sita; Kuwa na Imani thabiti (Mathayo 17:19-20). Maombi pasipo imani, ni sawa na dhihaka. Ni bora ya majaribio, kuliko kudhihaki. Daima, kuwa jasili na umwamini Mungu na neno lake, ndipo litatimia kwako. Mtu asiyeamini, maombi yake hupeperushwa na mawimbi,hivyo hata majibu ya maombi yake hupeperushwa tu,kwakuwa hayana nguvu yoyote ndani yake.
Saba; Kwa Kumwamini Mungu (Marko 6:5&6), ukimwamini utamtegemea kwa kila jambo(Marko 9:23&24). Ukiwa na imani kwake, utakuwa na ujasili. Mwamini Mungu,ili athibitishe ujasili wako.
Nane; Kwa Muujiza. Mungu, ni Mungu wa maajabu, hufanya mambo yaliyojuu ya fahamu za mwanadamu. Hufanya mambo ya kushangaza, kuweza kufanya miujiza mikubwa mno,amabayo hata uwezo wa wasomi,hufikia kikomo. (Matendo 19:11&12), tunaonao nguo za Paulo zikifanya maajabu, ni muujiza wa nguo kutoa pepo. Ni kwa kuwa kuna upako unaokuwa sambamba na wamchao Bwana. Tegemea Miujiza kama uko kwenye uwepo muda wote. Kumbuka, imani wakati mwingine haionekani (Matendo 16:16-19), hivyo miujiza huithibitisha imani.
Swali la kujiuliza ni je, kila mtu anaweza kumtoa pepo?Jibu ni Hapana, si kila atakaye tumia jina la Yesu anaweza kutoa pepo, tena anaweza hata kujikuta yuko kwenye wakati mgumu zaidi kwa kuwa jina la Yesu lina uwezo wa ajabu, hivyo mtu anapaswa kulitumia kama silaha huku akihakikisha amejilinda vizuri mahali alipo (Matendo 16:13-16), mtu asiyejulikana katika ufalme wa Mungu, anapoliita jina la Yesu, huwa kama mtoto anaemlilia mama asiye wake, hata akimuonea huruma vipi, hawezi kuwa mama yake kabisa. Hii ni kwasababu, hawana utambulisho kwa Yesu, japo wanatumia jina lake(Luka 7:22&23).
Ifahamike kuwa, mtu ambaye hajamwamini Yesu,pengine ni mpagani kabisa, akiombewa, pepo hutii amri ya mwombaji na kuondoka, lakini kwa kuwa anayeombewa hajaamini, yule pepo huweza kurudi na kufanya makao tena ndani yake. Ni sawa na mpiganaji vitani anaevamia, na kupamabana na kuondoka bila kuacha walinzi. Adui, anakuwa na uwezo wa kurudi tena na kujimilikisha na hata akaweka ulinzi wake ulio imara zaidi kuliko ule wa awali (Mathayo 12:44&45).
Ndugu mpendwa, naimani unaendelea kubarikiwa kwa mafundisho yetu. Huu ndiyo utakuwa mwisho wa mada yetu. Usikose mada zijazo. Mungu akubariki.

UBATIZO NI NINI?

Image may contain: one or more people, ocean, meme, text and outdoor


I. Ubatizo ni nini?
Ni ishara ya nje inayoonyesha kuwa mtu ameacha njia zake za zamani na ameanza kumfuata Yesu Kristo.
-Ni ishara ya kufa kuzikwa na kufufuka na Kristo.
Warumi 6:4
Wakolosai 2:12
Maana ya neno “BATIZA”. Neno batiza limetokana na neno la Kiyunani,”BAPTIDZO” lenye maana zamisha au zika kabisa. Hivyo neno batiza maana yake ni zamisha, au zika kabisa.​
II. Nani abatizwe?
A. Ni yule aliyeokoka
Matendo 2:38; 8:37; Marko 16:16; Mathayo 28:19
B. Ni mtu mzima
Mathayo 3:13
Matendo 8:36​
III. Tubatizwe ubatizo gani?
Ubatizo wa maji mengi.
Mathayo 3:16
Matendo 8:38
Yohana 3:23​
IV. Tubatizweje?
A. Kwa kuzamishwa kwenye maji tele.
Matendo 8:38
Marko 1:10
Yohana 3:23
B. Kuingia majini wawili-Mbatizaji na mbatizwaji.
Matendo 8:38​
V. Je kama kabla ya kuokoka nilishabatizwa, nikiokoka nibatizwe tena?
Kumbuka Ubatizo wa kweli alioagiza Yesu ni mmoja tu wa maji mengi, tena kwa mtu aliyeokoka na awe mtu mzima kama tulivyoona hapo juu. Hivyo hata kama umeambiwa ulibatizwa huko nyuma, ni lazima baada ya kuokoka ubatizwe sasa ubatizo halali Kibiblia maana ule wa mwanzo ulikuwa batili.
Matendo 19:1-7​
VI. Kwa nini tubatizwe?
A. Ni agizo kutoka kwa Yesu mwenyewe.
Mathayo 28:19
B. Ili kutimiza haki yote.
Mathayo 3:15
C. Ili kuzika mwili wa kale uliokufa.
Warumi 6:4
Wakolosai 2:12​
D. Ili kuutangazi ulimwengu kuwa tumeacha mambo ya kale na tumeanza kumfuata Yesu.​
2 Wakorintho 5:17​
VII. Tubatizwe kwa Jina la nani?
Kwa Jina la Baba, Mwana na Roho Mtakatifu
Mathayo 28:19​
VIII. Hitaji la ubatizo.
Maji tele, Mbatizaji na Mbatizwaji.
Yohana 3:23; Mdo 8:38-39; Marko 1:10​
IX. Yesu anataka tubatizwe ubatizo aliobatizwa yeye.
- Marko 10:38,39
Tukitaka tuwe marafiki waYesu ni lazima tushike amri zake zote (maagizo yake yote) Yohana 14:14,15
-Raha ya wokovu ni pale tunapotenda yote aliyoagiza Yesu.​
Ubatizo unaeleza kitambulisho cha waumini kwa kifo cha Kristo, kuzikwa, na kufufuka kwake.
Warumi 6:3-4 inasema, "Hamfahamu ya kuwa sisi sote tuliobatizwa katika Kristo Yesu tulibatizwa katika mauti yake? Basi tulizikwa pamoja naye kwa njia ya ubatizo katika mauti yake, kusudi kama Krisot alivyofufuka katika wafu kwa njia ya utukufu wa Baba, vivyo hivyo na sisi tuenende katika upya wa uzima." Hatua ya kuzamishwa katika maji inadhihirisha kufa na kuzikwa pamoja na Kristo. Hatua ya kutoka nje ya maji yaashiria picha ya ufufuo wa Kristo.
Katika 1 Petro 3:21, Petro alifundisha wazi kwamba ubatizo haukuwa tendo la sherehe ya utakaso wa kimwili, bali ni ahadi kwa dhamiri njema mbele ya Mungu. Ubatizo ni ishara ya kile tayari kimetokea katika moyo na maisha ya mtu ambaye amemwamini Kristo kama mwokozi (Warumi 6:3-5, Wagalatia 3:27, Wakolosai 2:12). Ubatizo ni hatua muhimu ya utii ambayo kila Mkristo anatakiwa kuchukua.
Shalom,
Max Shimba mtumwa wa Yesu Kristo

UNAWAFAHAMU MALAIKA WAKUU SABA WA MUNGU "ARCHANGELS OF GOD? (SEHEMU YA PILI)

Image may contain: 1 person
MALAIKA MKUU JEGUDIEL "YEHUDIEL"
Neno la Kiebrania, mjumbe (messenger) katika Agano la Kale ni Malaika na linatafsiriwa kama Malaika (angel) katika Biblia za Kingereza. Neno linatumika katika kuonyesha wajumbe wa Kiroho waliotumiwa na Mungu. (Mwanzo 32:1-2) na pia lilitumika kwa wajumbe wanadamu waliotumwa na Yakobo (Mwanzo 32:3).
YEHUDIEL:
Kwa Kiebrania יהודיאל‎‎ au Yehudiel ikimaanisha au "Mungu wa Wayahudi" ni mmoja wa Malaika Saba Wakuu.
Jina Jegudiel au Yehudiel ni muungano wa majina mawili ya "YEHUDI" na "EL".
YEHUDI:
Kwa Kiebrania neno Yehudi ndani ya Biblia inamaanisha "Kutoka katika Kabila la Yuda na au "Wayahudi". Kwa wingi ni Yehudim (plural of יהודי, Yehudi).
EL:
Mungu kwa Kiebrania ni EL. Neno EL linamaana ya "MAMLAKA" au "NGUVU" kwa Kiingereza Omnipotent, mighty, strength or power.
http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Names_of_G-d/El/el.html
Mfano:
1. El Echad inamaana ya Mungu mmoja, Malaki 2:10.
2. El Hanneeman ina maana ya "MUNGU MWAMINIFU" Soma Torati 7:9.
3. El Emet ina maana ya Mungu ni Kweli, soma Zaburi 31:5
Sasa umeona katika kila jina la Malaika Wakuu kuna sehemu ya Jina la Mungu la "EL".
Ngoja nikukumbushe. Yehudi"EL", Gabri"EL", Micha"EL", Yuri”EL” n.k. Kuna sababu kubwa sana ya Mungu kuweka sehemu ya jina lake kwa kila hawa Malaika Wakuu. LAKINI HUONI sehemu ya jina lake kwa LUSIFA. Hili somo la Lusifa ni lingine na nitalifundisha.
Yehudiel inamaana ya Mungu wa Wayahudi au kwa Kiingereza ni God of the Jews.
Elah Yisrael, Mungu wa Waisrael, soma (Ezra 5:1)
Elah Yerushelem, Mungu wa Jerusalem (Ezra 7:19)
Vivyo hivyo, Mungu alimtenga na au muumba Malaika Yehudiel kuwa Malaika atakae ilinda Taifa la Israel.
Kama mawakili wa Mungu walitumwa duniani kutoka mbinguni, kuchukua au kuleta maamuzi ya Mungu, juu ya wanadamu katika kutimiza adhabu ya Mungu kwa wanadamu, na katika kuwafundisha wanadamu (Kutoka 12:23; Zaburi 104:4; 2 Samuel 24:16; 2 Falme 19:35; 1 Nyakati 21:16; Matendo 12:23; Ebrania 11:28; 1 Kor. 10:10).
Ukiangalia matatizo kati ya Israel na Mataifa yanao izunguka, utagundua kuwa, hata itokee nini, hayo mataifa ya Kiarabu kamwe hayata weza ipiga Israel. Hebu jiulize, nchi hizi za Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Misri, Ukanda wa Gaza na Golan Heights. Sababu ni hii, Mungu aliumba Maialka hususan kwa kuilinda Israel.
Tafsiri nyingine ya Malaika Wakuu saba ni kuwa wao ni Roho Saba za Mungu zinazosimama mbele za Mungu, na zilizotajwa katika kitabu cha Ufunuo 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6;
Malaika Wakuu Saba wanasemekana ni walinzi wa mataifa na nchi, na wanahusika, na masuala, na matukio yanayozizunguka, ikiwa ni pamoja na siasa, masuala ya kijeshi, na biashara, na uchumi. (Yoshua 5:13-15).
Vyeo mbalimbali vya Jeshi la Mbinguni
Malaika wana vyeo, uwezo na nguvu zinazotofautiana katika utendaji wa kazi mbalimbali. (Zekiel 1:7-11; Daniel 10:13; 12:1; 1Thesalonike 4:16; Yuda 1:9; Efeso 1:22; Kolosai 1:16).
MALAIKA WATUMISHI WATUMIKAO
"Malaika, angels" au malakhim, yaani, "malaika wa kawaida "plain" angels"(angeloi, wingi wa angelos, i.e. mjumbe (messenger) au wakili wa balozi, ubalozi (envoy), ni daraja la chini sana la malaika, na ndilo linalofahamika sana kwa watu wengi. Wanahusiana sana na mambo ya viumbe hai. Katika aina hii ya malaika, wapo wa namna nyingi tofauti tofauti, wakiwa na kazi mbali mbali. Hutumwa kama wajumbe kwa wanadamu. Malaika hawa ni wa karibu sana kwa ulimwengu wa vitu na wanadamu. Wana peleka maombi kwa Mungu na Majibu ya Mungu na ujumbe mwingine toka kwa Mungu kwa wanadamu. Malaika wanao uwezo wa kuwakaribia malaika wengine wa ngazi yoyote ile na kwa wakati wotote ule. Ni wanaojishughulisha sana na jamii kuwasaidia wale wanaoomba msaada katika mazingira magumu ya kimwili; mfano, katika ajali, vizuizi au vikwazo vya kutoka mahali kwenda mahali pengine (gerezani).
Usikose SEHEMU YA TATU itakayo zungumzia MALAIKA MKUU GABRIEL na kazi zake.
Shalom
Max Shimba mtumwa wa Yesu Kristo.
