A Journey of Faith: Thiba Archdeaconry Mother’s Union Enrollment
In a spirit of devotion and unity, the Thiba Archdeaconry of ACK Diocese of Kirinyaga held a profound Mother’s Union Enrollment service on July 15th, 2023. Guided by the leadership of ACK Diocese Of Kirinyaga’s Bishop, Dr. Joseph Kibucwa, the event unfolded at the serene Kandong’u Church. The day was illuminated by a thought-provoking sermon delivered by Rev. Rose Wanjoka Mwai. The message echoed the themes of favor, righteousness, and love drawn from the scriptures, particularly Genesis 39:1-9.
Celebrating Divine Favor: Lessons from Joseph’s Journey
Rev. Rose Wanjoka Mwai’s sermon commenced by delving into the concept of favor. She drew parallels from the life of Joseph, who, despite being sold into slavery out of jealousy, carried the special favor of God. Joseph’s journey led him to Potiphar’s house, where he prospered due to God’s favor upon him. The preacher emphasized that walking with God results in both human and eternal favor, and highlighted the eternal nature of God’s blessings.
Resisting Temptation: Choosing Righteousness
Joseph’s unwavering faithfulness was showcased when he resisted the advances of Potiphar’s wife. Despite the tempting opportunity, Joseph’s fear of God led him to flee from sin. Rev. Rose Wanjoka Mwai posed a thought-provoking question to the congregation, encouraging them to consider how they would have responded in a similar situation. The preacher’s words resonated as a call to prioritize righteousness in both personal and marital lives.
The Power of Love and Dedication: Embracing God’s Work
The sermon concluded with a reflection on the power of love. Gaius’s devotion to God’s work was highlighted as an exemplar of genuine dedication. Rev. Rose Wanjoka Mwai prompted introspection, questioning whether individuals had maintained the initial passion they once had for God’s work and other aspects of their lives.
Embracing New Members: A Joyful Occasion
