JAMES & JANE MOTONDI - Village Meeting

James & Jane on the left 

Dear Saints,

Jane is the stalwart wife of Evangelist, James. This is the woman who picked 2 homeless AIDS orphans out of a garbage dumpster and brought them home to raise them as her own.  This is the woman that gave up some of her meager living to feed, house and educate 2 more (a total now of 6) children. By God's help, “we” have can have a share with God in making all this happen!  This is the woman that supports her husband's ministry - a ministry which he undertakes at risk from other (so-called) “Christian clergymen” and the Jihadis who are sneaking around Kenya killing professing Christians. 

Please print this photo if you can, put it somewhere where you can see it, and remember to pray for James and Jane.   “We” - “us” - you and I and the rest of “us” - we are the real (Christian) deal.  We are orthodox (historically based), true, Bible-oriented Christians.  We separated from the apostate Houses  of Popular Religion, and our co-worker-for-God James preaches “our” Protestant, Reformation oriented gospel to the poorest of the poor in the villages of Kenya.  

James does not ask these poor villagers for any money, and in fact, sometimes, James brings the food to feed all the attendees at his teaching seminars (which can last for 2-3 days).  These villagers have no other real entertainment, so the whole village dresses up and shows up (I have photos of this).

What is it that “we”lack that makes us anything less than a real local church?

We have fellowship.  The same controversial, but orthodox, true and Biblically historical doctrines that “we” teach, are taught by James Motondi.   Right now, “we” have to pray for James Motondi in order that he be able to buy a small motorcycle, so that he doesn't have to walk everywhere (miles and miles) as he has been doing on our behalf since 1998.  Why won't you help out? 

Matthew 6:19  “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,

Matthew 6:20  but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

Matthew 6:21  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

We will report to all of you who are thrilled to be a part of “us” and what we do and have done for the glorious name of Our Lord Jesus Christ until now.

If you're “new” to “us” - then visit our blog devoted to Biblical doctrine in order to realize that we are the fellowship online you have always been looking for.  We claim to be The True Remnant of historic, orthodox Christianity.  We are the saved people, and we will prove it to you.

Thanks for reading this.  

Psalm 35:27  Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

PRAYER - A MYSTERY

Prayer is a mystery; and after we have considered a few questions on the subject I believe we will appreciate even more the mysterious character that surrounds prayer—for these are questions quite difficult to answer. Yet this observation is not meant to suggest that the mystery of prayer is incomprehensible or that the various problems concerning prayer are inexplicable. It is merely indicative of the fact that few people really know very much about them. In view of this, few are truly able to accomplish much for God in prayer. The power of prayer lies not in how much we pray but in how much our prayers are in accordance with the principle of prayer. Only prayers of this kind are of true value. 

The foremost question to be asked is, Why pray? What is the use of praying? Is not God omniscient as well as omnipotent? Why must He wait till we pray before He commences to work? Since He knows, why must we tell Him everything (Phil. 4.6)? Being almighty, why does God not work directly? Why should He need our prayers? Why is it that only those who ask are given, only those who seek find, and only those who knock enter in (Matt. 7.7)? Why does God say: “Ye have not, because ye ask not” (James 4.2) 

Upon asking the above questions we must then continue to inquire as follows: Is prayer contrary to the will of God? What is the relationship between prayer and righteousness? 

We know God never does anything against His own will. If opening doors is God’s will, why should He wait until we knock before He opens? Why does He not simply open for us according to His own will without requiring us to knock? Being omniscient, God knows we need to have doors opened; why, then, must He wait for our knocking before He opens? If the door is to be opened and if opening doors is in accordance with God’s will, and if furthermore He also knows that we need it to be opened, why does He wait for us to knock? Why does He not just open the door? What advantage does our knocking give to God? 

Yet we must further ask these questions: Since God’s will is to open the door and since opening the door is in accord with righteousness, will God nevertheless open the door if we do not knock? Or would He rather have His will and righteousness delayed without accomplishment in order to wait for our prayers? Will He really allow His will of opening doors to be restrained by our not knocking? 

If so, will not the will of God be limited by us? Is God really almighty? If He is almighty, why can He not open the door all by himself—why instead must He wait till we knock? Is God really able to accomplish His own will? But if He truly is able, then why is His opening of doors (God’s will) governed by our knocking (man’s prayer)? 

By asking all these questions we come to realize that prayer is a great mystery. For here we see a principle of God’s working, which is, that God’s people must pray before God himself will rise up and work: His will is only to be realized through the prayers of those who belong to Him: the prayers of the believers are to accomplish His will: God will not fulfill His will alone—He will perform only after His people show their sympathy in prayers.
