@Intelligentsia this Matthew Chapter 29, I can't find.


it doesn't exist. Matthew ends at Ch 28.

A visiting preacher at a local church is at the pulpit. He asks all those in the congregation who have read all the chapters of the good book, including Matthew Ch. 29 to put up their hands and almost all hands, including the local priest's, instantly go up.
The preacher stars silently for a moment at the people whose hands are up and addressing them, says,'Today's sermon is about LIARS, and it is about YOU, as there is no Matthew Ch. 29 - the good works of Matthew end Ch 28.'

Pssst, I did not say the local priest is Pastor M..

@kadonye, that would be too creative of me.
Actually, it's there in my bible and first heard it read in Church.

A deuterocanonical book found in all bibles before 1820; but now in certain versions of the bible e.g. New Jerusalem, New American, Douay Rheims, New Advent etc.

Ufunua wa Yohana 14

1Kisha nikatazama na mbele yangu nikamwona Mwana-Kondoo amesimama juu ya Mlima Sioni akiwa pamoja na watu 144,000 ambao kwenye vipaji vya nyuso zao waliandikwa jina la Mwana-Kondoo na jina la Baba yake. 2Basi nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni kama sauti ya maporomoko ya maji mengi na kama sauti ya ngurumo ya radi kubwa. Na sauti hiyo niliyoisikia, ilikuwa kama sauti ya wapiga vinubi wakipiga vinubi vyao. 3Walikuwa wanaimba wimbo mpya mbele ya kiti cha enzi na mbele ya wale viumbe hai wanne na wale wazee. Hakuna mtu aliyeweza kujifunza wimbo huo isipokuwa hao watu 144,000 waliokombolewa kutoka duniani. 4Hao ndio wale ambao hawakujitia unajisi kwa kuhusiana na wanawake, kwa kuwa wao ni bikira. Hao ndio wanaomfuata Mwana-Kondoo kila aendako. Wame nunuliwa kutoka miongoni mwa wanadamu wakawa matunda ya kwanza kutolewa kwa Mungu na kwa Mwana-Kondoo. 5Hawajapata kusema uongo kamwe; hawana hatia yo yote.


Je, Hawa ni akina nani?
Mbona 144,000 pekee?

You might not know this but may I tell you that I am I very very saved but open minded since May 28 1995.I read my bible nearly daily but there are some areas I keep discovering as I read.

That is why hautapata matusi yoyote kwa post zangu.

As for airport , makosa inafanyika, cos of my eyes and small head.And by posting what I see here,I believe its a kind of repentance.Since I am in a evil world ,sometime temptations come but I have been married for quite sometime ,but never strayed.I only drink from my own well.Hizo zingine ni za kuona tu.

I strive to live a righteous life.

Lakini I dont let anyone step on my toes in silence.

I stand up for what is right and correct when people stray.Cos all our actions will come to judgement on the DAy

If you look at most of my posts , I am always anti tribal , anti corruption , anti-polygamy , anti-beer and pro-integrity.
what does that tell you?

2 Chronicles 32

Sennacherib Threatens Jerusalem

1 After all that Hezekiah had so faithfully done, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah. He laid siege to the fortified cities, thinking to conquer them for himself. 2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to wage war against Jerusalem, 3 he consulted with his officials and military staff about blocking off the water from the springs outside the city, and they helped him. 4 They gathered a large group of people who blocked all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land. “Why should the kings[a] of Assyria come and find plenty of water?” they said. 5 Then he worked hard repairing all the broken sections of the wall and building towers on it. He built another wall outside that one and reinforced the terraces of the City of David. He also made large numbers of weapons and shields.
6 He appointed military officers over the people and assembled them before him in the square at the city gate and encouraged them with these words: 7 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. 8 With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said.

9 Later, when Sennacherib king of Assyria and all his forces were laying siege to Lachish, he sent his officers to Jerusalem with this message for Hezekiah king of Judah and for all the people of Judah who were there:

10 “This is what Sennacherib king of Assyria says: On what are you basing your confidence, that you remain in Jerusalem under siege? 11 When Hezekiah says, ‘The LORD our God will save us from the hand of the king of Assyria,’ he is misleading you, to let you die of hunger and thirst. 12 Did not Hezekiah himself remove this god’s high places and altars, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You must worship before one altar and burn sacrifices on it’?

13 “Do you not know what I and my predecessors have done to all the peoples of the other lands? Were the gods of those nations ever able to deliver their land from my hand? 14 Who of all the gods of these nations that my predecessors destroyed has been able to save his people from me? How then can your god deliver you from my hand? 15 Now do not let Hezekiah deceive you and mislead you like this. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my predecessors. How much less will your god deliver you from my hand!”

16 Sennacherib’s officers spoke further against the LORD God and against his servant Hezekiah. 17 The king also wrote letters ridiculing the LORD, the God of Israel, and saying this against him: “Just as the gods of the peoples of the other lands did not rescue their people from my hand, so the god of Hezekiah will not rescue his people from my hand.” 18 Then they called out in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to terrify them and make them afraid in order to capture the city. 19 They spoke about the God of Jerusalem as they did about the gods of the other peoples of the world—the work of human hands.

20 [b]King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out in prayer to heaven about this. 21 And the LORD sent an angel, who annihilated all the fighting men and the commanders and officers in the camp of the Assyrian king. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons, his own flesh and blood, cut him down with the sword.


22 So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all others. He took care of them[c] on every side. 23 Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the LORD and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah. From then on he was highly regarded by all the nations.

Hezekiah’s Pride, Success and Death

24 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. He prayed to the LORD, who answered him and gave him a miraculous sign. 25 But Hezekiah’s heart was proud and he did not respond to the kindness shown him; therefore the LORD’s wrath was on him and on Judah and Jerusalem. 26 Then Hezekiah repented of the pride of his heart, as did the people of Jerusalem; therefore the LORD’s wrath did not come on them during the days of Hezekiah.
27 Hezekiah had very great wealth and honor, and he made treasuries for his silver and gold and for his precious stones, spices, shields and all kinds of valuables. 28 He also made buildings to store the harvest of grain, new wine and olive oil; and he made stalls for various kinds of cattle, and pens for the flocks. 29 He built villages and acquired great numbers of flocks and herds, for God had given him very great riches.

30 It was Hezekiah who blocked the upper outlet of the Gihon spring and channeled the water down to the west side of the City of David. He succeeded in everything he undertook. 31 But when envoys were sent by the rulers of Babylon to ask him about the miraculous sign that had occurred in the land, God left him to test him and to know everything that was in his heart.

32 The other events of Hezekiah’s reign and his acts of devotion are written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 33 Hezekiah rested with his ancestors and was buried on the hill where the tombs of David’s descendants are. All Judah and the people of Jerusalem honored him when he died. And Manasseh his son succeeded him as king.

1 Samuel 28

Saul and the Medium at Endor
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah. Saul had expelled the mediums and spiritists from the land.

4 The Philistines assembled and came and set up camp at Shunem, while Saul gathered all Israel and set up camp at Gilboa. 5 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart. 6 He inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets. 7 Saul then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her.”

“There is one in Endor,” they said.

8 So Saul disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.”

9 But the woman said to him, “Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap for my life to bring about my death?”

10 Saul swore to her by the LORD, “As surely as the LORD lives, you will not be punished for this.”

11 Then the woman asked, “Whom shall I bring up for you?”

“Bring up Samuel,” he said.

12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!”

13 The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid. What do you see?”

The woman said, “I see a ghostly figure[a] coming up out of the earth.”

14 “What does he look like?” he asked.

“An old man wearing a robe is coming up,” she said.

Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.

15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”

“I am in great distress,” Saul said. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”

16 Samuel said, “Why do you consult me, now that the LORD has departed from you and become your enemy? 17 The LORD has done what he predicted through me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors—to David. 18 Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out his fierce wrath against the Amalekites, the LORD has done this to you today. 19 The LORD will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”

20 Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel’s words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and all that night.
What a wicked man I am!The things I want to do,I don't do.The things I don't want to do I find myself doing
