July 2015 – Joy on the Journey
https://joyonmyfaithjourney.wordpress.com/2015/07
Joy on the Journey. Now that you’re a believer 3. July 31, 2015. July 31, 2015. My story: Getting to know God by becoming intimate with the Bible. Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. Three cheers for the NKJV, the NIV, CEV, GNT – and most of all, for TM! The numerous versions of the English Bible were translated from original manuscripts written in Hebrew,...

June 2015 – Joy on the Journey
https://joyonmyfaithjourney.wordpress.com/2015/06
Joy on the Journey. Now that you’re a believer. June 22, 2015. July 21, 2015. My story: Learning to let go. This was news to me. At the end of that powerful, emotion-charged evening the Bishop invited people to give their lives to Jesus. My heart was ready. Looking back with the benefit of hindsight, it’s crystal clear now why my salvation story is not a straightforward before and after scenario. Here’s why. For us, church was reserved for weddings and funerals. So you see, all the odds were stacked agai...

Joy on the Journey. Erecting memorials to the Lord’s goodness. August 10, 2015. August 10, 2015. Celebration: A child’s 12th birthday. By Joy Mutero. This past weekend was bitterly cold by normal Nairobi standards. At some point we recorded 12 C and sporadic icy drizzles. We celebrated a cousin’s 50. Birthday on Saturday in typical Kenyan style: seated in tents. Try to imagine what this must have felt like. Turning 50, healed bodies or relationships, completion of challenging projects, deliverance from s...

https://joyonmyfaithjourney.wordpress.com/2015/07/21/now-that-youre-a-believer-2
Joy on the Journey. Get The Basics Right. Now that you’re a believer 2. July 21, 2015. July 21, 2015. My story: Getting to know God through finding the right church. Everything about me changed when my eyes opened to the new beginning offered by Christ Jesus. I may have continued to look the same, but I was definitely not the same person. It’s like my inner eyes received an extra burst of light, and things I never saw before became much clearer. How does one describe it? Becoming born again is truly what...

August 2015 – Joy on the Journey
https://joyonmyfaithjourney.wordpress.com/2015/08
Joy on the Journey. Now that you’re a believer 4. August 19, 2015. My story: Getting to know God through small group Bible study. Yesterday, after a very long interval, I went for Bible study. It was the first meeting of the group, which is as small as any group can get. There are only three of us. More might join us in time, but for now it’s just us: my sister, her neighbour and I. I’ve experienced great value in being connected to a smaller group off and on through the years, especially when I was a ba...

What does being born again feel like? – Joy on the Journey
https://joyonmyfaithjourney.wordpress.com/2015/07/01/what-does-being-born-again-feel-like/comment-page-1
Joy on the Journey. What does being born again feel like? July 1, 2015. July 1, 2015. At one point or another, someone from your past life will ask you:. But what do you mean by saying you’re ‘saved’? When you say you’re born again, what do you. And finally, urgency. Like this was a rare opportunity to gain insight into something she had often wondered about, and I might be the only person willing to accommodate such an awkward interrogation. Different, but yet. Has changed, I answered feebly. The Bible ...

The prayer of salvation – Joy on the Journey
https://joyonmyfaithjourney.wordpress.com/2015/07/06/the-prayer-of-salvation
Joy on the Journey. Get The Basics Right. The prayer of salvation. July 6, 2015. Few things could be worse than being with someone who asks you how they can be saved and you respond with: Errrr why don’t we ask my Pastor? I’ll check when he’s free and call you – that will probably be next week. Though this never happened to me as a new convert, I was clueless and hoped against hope that no-one would ever need my input on this particular matter. This is my take on it:. Jesus alone can delete your flawed r...

Believing God truly is in control – Joy on the Journey
https://joyonmyfaithjourney.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/believing-god-truly-is-in-control
Joy on the Journey. Believing God truly is in control. August 7, 2015. August 17, 2015. Sunrise over the Nandi escarpment viewed from Lirhanda Hill, Kakamega Forest, Kenya. By Joy Mutero. It was one of those simple little life-giving moments that inject a good vibe into the day. A lovely surprise. I suppose the characteristic wintry weather on an August morning in Nairobi has sent our resident geckos to warmer areas of the house. We only tolerate the creepy creatures because they prey on mosquitoes.
