From the desk of Bishop John Gichiri, London - 11th July 2005

CALL FOR PRAYERS 1ST TIMOTHY 2:1-3

 

As you start to pray this prayer please read 1 Timothy 2:1-3 “Therefore l exhort first of all that supplication, prayers, intercession, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for the kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our savoir”

 

I feel deeply in my spirit to request all Christians (Churches) everywhere to pray and to intercede for our Nation of United Kingdom and also to other countries for the enemy is trying to steal our peace we enjoy here. All Christians are the light of the world and if we keep quiet the enemy will come at night while we sleep and steal our joy and peace as he has started last week. In 2003 l had a vision whereby l saw an explosion in the City of our Country Kenya, to one of our tallest buildings KICC and another one at Harambee Avenue. In that vision l saw an explosion on top of KICC and the other Government building near Parliament. I saw a big fire burning the two building. I started to pray that God in the name of Jesus Christ may intervene and also sent emails to some of the Christian leaders that they also start to pray for our county. Evangelist Mama Mwai (Mrs manjau) and others acted immediately, they surrounded those building and prayed and God heard our prayers. 

 

NT: Ai-Quida is a demonic movement, an evil spirit with hatred spirit, and thirst for human blood and unless we pray intensively daily, it will continue to terrorize our beloved people worldwide. Many innocent people are dead and we mourn every day. Our Government and the UN have tried to deal with this hostile terrorism and l believes with all my heart, if we join together as they investigate and fight, it will be broken down and their plans will fail in the name of Jesus Christ who loves all human beings. Out Ten Commandment which were summarise by Jesus says, thou shall not kill and if you kill vengeance belong to Him.

 

 Our spiritual weapons are powerful than any weapon made by men for it is written in 2nd Corinthians 10:3-5 and Ephesians 6:10-13; “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal [flesh] but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds…..; For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

 

Therefore! Wake up all of you and pray will all tools of prayer, by the word and by the Spirit with all your understanding that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence in our beloved nation verse 3 of 1st Timothy 2. All Christians ought to know, it is their duty to stand on the gap of all leaders in whichever Nation you are for we are not different with those prophets of the OT where most of God fearing Leaders got their guidance from them. Whichever nation you reside currently, whether you are residence or foreigner, you ought to pray for that nation. Your prayer is an action of love towards that nation.

That is why our beloved Apostle Paul wrote to us, that first of all we ought to pray for our leaders or rulers that we may have a peaceable time; that even gospel may be preached with problems. Read Romans 13:1-7. No government rule without God, therefore whether your government is good or bad, you are commanded to offer prayers for it.

 

Therefore start to pray now! If you are a foreigner pray for UK and also for your country. If you don’t know how to pray, please pray with me as you read and not just reading, let this prayer sink in your heart. Thank you as you read the following and pray!!!!!!

 

This prayer comes from Psalm 140 and the above scriptures:

Our God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, I pray that your Kingdom may reign in this nation. May your peace prevail forever here in UK as it is in heaven. Deliver our nation (UK) from evil men. Bless our leaders and fill them with wisdom and knowledge as they govern our Nation. May they be surrounded with men and women of good council? Bless also the Royal family and fill them with joy and peace from thee Oh God. May our boarders be secured with a hedge of God (spiritual wall of iron.) May all the angels guard our territories with God’s protection. May your favour and wisdom be upon your servant Mr Blair and his government.

We pull down every plan of darkness, cancelling and declaring null and void. Let their weapons fail and bring confusion in their gathering places that they may destroy themselves as in the time of Jehoshaphat the king of Juda – 2 Chronicles 20:22. Let them raise no more in Jesus Name our Lord. We bring every principality and power of darkness under our feet that our peace may prevail again.

 

Preserve this Nation from evil people, for they are thirst to shed the innocent blood of your loving people. Visit their gathering places and confuse them that their plans may fail from now on as we pray before you.

 

They plan evil things in their heats; they continually gather together in their darkness places to war against us.

They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips.

 

Keep this nation O Lord from the hands of the wicked and preserve this nation from violent men who have purposed to make our steps stumble.

Their evil prides have hidden a snare for us, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set traps for us. Oh God deliver Us.

For we all conclude by saying, “You alone, you are our God, hear our voices of our supplications Oh Lord.

Oh God, the Lord God of our Souls, the strength of our Nation and our Salvation. Do not grant these violent evil people their desires, for their desires are to destroy our peace and killing innocent people.

 

Do not further their wicked scheme, lest they be exalted and be proud of their evil doing.

 

As for the head of those that compass us about. Let the mischief of their own lips and plans cover them. Let burning coal fall them: till they repent of their doing. Open pit that their evil thinking and plans sink, that they rise not up again.

Let not a slanderer be established in this world, may your angels of war hunt them and overthrow them as they did to Satan. Revelation 12.

We pray for those who are suffering now console their heart and comfort them.

 

You desire all men to turn their ways to you Oh God, please have mercy and cause them to realise their sins and repent of their evil doing.

Thanking you in advance for your action. May the Churches join together in spirit and pray. Your prayer means more than anything else. If you love your Government and leaders, pray for them.

From Bishop John

Rev. Muya arrives in London

The man arrived in the UK in the early ninety's long before the visa was introduced in the UK. Many Kenyans in the UK on that time advised him to settle in the UK with his family for a better life. This what the man replied: "I cannot settle here in the UK because I have to preach and then go home. I am a servant and a servant does not do what he wants, rather, he obeys his master.  I have a church to look after in Kenya and I cannot relocate and leave my sheep alone." he explained.  Ten years later, Rev. Samuel Kimani Muya has built a modern church for his congregation in Elburgon Kenya and has so far been able to open up to 25 churches so far through the help of Kenyans in the UK. He has proved to be a trusted man who is not interested in making money for himself and his family but to do the work of God. For the last three years, two fundraisings have been organised in London. The first event raised the money to buy the plot and to built the church halfway. The second fundraising which was held in April 2004 was to complete the roofing. The church is 105ft by 75ft with a gallery. The capacity is up to 3500people.Anumber of people who have visited the church from London have been impressed with what have been done so far.  Rev. Muya arrived in London on Friday 30th June 2005 to raise money for the third and final leg - to complete the gallery and windows doors and all the finishing. His contact in London is 07903013593 - email samuelmuya2003@yahoo.com
