Change Your Thought, Change Your Destiny

June 16, 2018



Uwezo wetu wa kuvumilia hadi mwisho katika wema utakuwa unalingana moja kwa moja na nguvu ya ushuhuda wetu na kina cha uongofu wetu.
Kila asubuhi tunapoamka, tunakumbana na siku mpya iliyojaa changamoto za maisha. Changamoto hizi huja kwa aina nyingi: changamoto za kimwili, pingamizi za kifedha, matatizo na mahusiano, majaribio ya kihisia, na hata mapambano na imani ya mtu.

Nyingi za changamoto tunazokabiliana nazo maishani zinaweza kutatuliwa na kushindwa, hata hivyo, nyengine huenda zikawa ngumu kuelewa na kutowezekana kushindwa na zitakuwa nasi mpaka tutakapoaga duniani. Tunapovumilia kwa muda changamoto tunazoweza kutatua na tunapoendelea kuvumilia changamoto ambazo hatuwezi kutatua, ni muhimu kukumbuka kwamba nguvu ya kiroho tunayokuza zitatusaidia kuvumilia vyema changamoto zote tunazokabiliana nazo maishani.

Ndugu na dada, tunaye Baba wa Mbinguni, anayetupenda, ambaye amesanifu kuwepo kwetu duniani ili tuweze kibinafsi kujifunza masomo tunayohitaji kujifunza ili kufuzu kwa ajili ya uzima wa milele katika uwepo wake.

Kipindi katika maisha ya Nabii Joseph Smith kinaeleza kanuni hii. Nabii na wenzi kadhaa walikuwa wamekuwa wafungwa kule Liberty, Missouri, kwa miezi. Wakiteseka gerazani, Nabii Joseph alimsihi Bwana katika maombi ya unyenyekevu kwamba Watakatifu wangeweza kufarijiwa kutokana na mateso yao ya sasa. Bwana alijibu kwa kumfundisha Nabii Joseph, na sisi sote, kwamba changamoto tunazokumbana nazo, zikivumiliwa vyema, zitatusaidia mwishowe. Hili ndilo jibu la Bwana kwa dua ya Joseph:

“Mwanangu, amani iwe katika nafsi yako, taabu yako na mateso yako yatakuwa kwa muda mfupi;

“Na halafu, kama utastahimili vyema, Mungu atakuinua juu.”1

Baba wa Mbinguni amepanga safari yetu maishani kuwa mtihani wa silka zetu. Tunaachwa tushawishiwe na mema na mabaya na kisha kupewa wakala wa kimaadili kujichagulia wenyewe njia tutakayochukua. Kama vile nabii Samweli wa Kitabu cha Mormoni wa kale alivyofundisha, “Mko huru, mmekubaliwa kujichagulia, kwani tazama, Mungu amewapatia elimu na amewafanya huru.”2

Baba wa Mbinguni pia alielewa kwamba kutokana na hali yetu ya kidunia hatungefanya chaguo sahihi au la haki kila wakati. Kwa sababu sisi si wakamilifu na kwa sababu sisi hufanya makosa, tunahitaji usaidizi ili kurudi kwa uwepo Wake. Msaada unaohitajika hutolewa kupitia mafundisho, mfano, na dhabihu ya upatanisho wa Yesu Kristo. Dhabihu ya upatanisho wa Mwokozi huwezesha wokovu wetu wa baadaye na utukufu kupitia kanuni ya toba. Tukitubu kwa uaminifu na dhati, Upatanisho unaweza kutusaidia kuwa wasafi, kubadilisha asili yetu, na kuvumilia vyema changamoto zetu.

Uvumilivu ni kanuni muhimu inayopatikana katika mafundisho ya Yesu Kristo. Ni muhimu kwa sababu uzuri wa maisha yetu ya baadaye ya milele unalingana na uwezo wetu wa kuvumilia katika wema.

Katika 2 Nefi 31 nabii Nefi anatufundisha kwamba baada ya kupokea agizo lile lile la wokovu la ubatizo ambalo Yesu Kristo alipokea na kisha tupokee karama ya Roho Mtakatifu, lazima “tusonge mbele tukila na kusheherekea neno la Kristo, na tuvumilie hadi mwisho, tazama, [na basi] hivyo ndivyo asema Baba: [Sisi] tutapokea uzima wa milele.”3

Hivyo basi, ili kupokea baraka kuu ya zote za Baba yetu wa Mbinguni, ambayo ni uzima wa milele, lazima tukamilishe kazi ya agano inayostahili na kisha tuendelee kutii maagano yanayohusika. Yaani, lazima tuvumilie vyema.

Uwezo wetu wa kuvumilia hadi mwisho katika wema utakuwa unalingana moja kwa moja na nguvu ya ushuhuda wetu na kina cha uongofu wetu. Wakati shuhuda zetu ziko imara na tumeongoka kwa kweli kwa injili ya Yesu Kristo, chaguo zetu zitasawishiwa na Roho Mtakatifu, zitakuwa na msingi katika Kristo, na zitahimili hamu yetu ya kuvumilia katika wema. Ikiwa shuhuda zetu ni dhaifu na uongofu wetu ovyo, hatari ni zaidi kwamba tutashawishiwa na tamaduni za uongo za dunia ili kufanya chaguo mbaya.

Ningependa kushiriki tukio linaloonyesha juhudi inayohitajika kuvumilia kimwili na kisha kulilinganisha kwa juhudi inayohitajika kuvumilia kiroho. Baada ya kurudi kutoka misheni yangu, nilikuwa na nafasi ya kucheza mpira wa vikapu na kocha mwenye ushawishi mkubwa na mwandishi katika chuo kule California. Kocha huyu alikuwa makini sana kuhusu wachezaji wake kuwa katika hali nzuri ya kimwili kabla ya kuanza kwa msimu wa mpira wa vikapu. Moja ya mahitaji yake ya zoezi kabla ya yeyote kati yetu kuweza kugusa mpira wa kikapa kwenye kiwanja cha mazoezi ilikuwa ni kukimbia mzunguko wa mbio za nyika katika milima karibu na shule kwa wakati maalum na ngumu sana. Ninakumbuka jaribio langu la kwanza kabisa katika kukimbia kozi hii ya mbio za nyika punde baada ya kurejea kwangu kutoka misheni: Nilifikiria ningekufa.

Ilichukua wiki nyingi za mafunzo makali ili hatimaye kuvunja rekodi ya wakati ambao kocha alikuwa ameweka kama lengo. Ilikuwa ni hisia nzuri si ​​tu kuweza kukimbia mzunguko lakini pia kuharakisha hadi kwenye uhondo wa mwisho hadi kwenye laini ya kumaliza.

Ili kucheza mpira wa vikapu vyema, unahitaji kuwa katika hali nzuri ya kimwili. Kuwa katika hali nzuri ya kimwili huja kwa gharama, na gharama hiyo ni kujitolea, uvumilivu, na nidhamu ya kibinafsi. Uvumilivu wa kiroho pia huja kwa gharama. Ni gharama ile ile: kujitolea, uvumilivu, na nidhamu ya kibinafsi.

Ushuhuda, kama mwili wako, unahitaji kuwa katika hali nzuri kama unautaka hudumu. Hivyo basi ni jinsi gani tunaweka ushuhuda wetu katika hali nzuri? Hatuwezi kufanya miili yetu kuwa katika hali nzuri ya kucheza mpira wa vikapu kwa kutazama tu mpira wa vikapu kwenye televisheni. Vile vile, hatutaweza kuweka shuhuda zetu katika hali nzuri kwa kutazama tu mkutano mkuu kwenye televisheni. Tunahitaji kusoma na kujifunza kanuni za msingi za injili ya Yesu Kristo, na kisha ni lazima tufanye tuwezavyo kuizitumia maishani. Hivyo ndivyo tunavyokuwa wafuasi wa Yesu Kristo, na hivyo ndivyo tunavyojenga ushuhuda wa kudumu.

Tunapokabiliwa na shida maishani na hamu yetu ni kuiga sifa za Yesu Kristo, ni muhimu kuwa tayari kiroho. Kuwa tayari kiroho kunamaanisha tumekuza sulubu na nguvu ya kiroho---tutakuwa katika hali nzuri ya kiroho. Tutakuwa katika hali nzuri kiroho hata kwamba tutachagua wema kila mara. Tutakuwa hatuhamashiki katika hamu na uwezo wetu wa kuishi injili. Kama vile mwandishi mmoja asiyejulikana aliwahi kusema, “Ni lazima uwe mwamba ambao mto hauwezi kuondoa.”

Kwa sababu sisi tunakabiliwa na changamoto kila siku, ni muhimu kwamba tufanye kazi juu ya ushupavu wetu wa kiroho kila siku. Sisi  tunapokuza ushupavu wa kiroho, tamaduni za uongo za dunia, pamoja na changamoto zetu za kibinafsi za kila siku, zitakuwa na athari ndogo kwa uwezo wetu wa kuvumilia katika wema.

Mifano mizuri ya ushupavu wa kiroho huja kutoka historia za familia zetu wenyewe. Miongoni mwa hadithi nyingi kutoka kwa mababu zetu, tutaweza kupata mifano ambayo inaonyesha tabia chanya ya uvumilivu.

Hadithi kutoka kwa historia ya familia yangu mwenyewe inaeleza kanuni hii. Baba ya babu yangu mkuu Joseph Maynes Watson alizaliwa mnamo 1856 kule Hull, Yorkshire, Uingereza. Familia yake ilijiunga na Kanisa kule Uingereza na kisha kwenda Jijini Salt Lake. Alimuoa Emily Keep mnamo 1883, na wakawa wazazi wa watoto wanane. Joseph aliitwa kuhudumu misheni ya muda mnamo Juni 1910, alipokuwa na umri wa miaka 53. Na kwa usaidizi wa mke wake na watoto wanane, alirudi nchi yake ya asili Uingereza kuhudumu misheni yake.

Baada ya kuhudumu kwa uaminifu kwa takriban miaka miwili, alikuwa akiendesha baiskeli yake pamoja na mwenziwe kwenda misa ya Shule ya Jumapili kule Gloucester, Uingereza, ambapo tairi yake ikapasuka. Alishuka kutoka wa baiskeli yake ili kutathmini uharibifu. Alipoona ya kuwa ilikuwa imeharibika sana na ingechukua muda kurekebisha, alimwaambia mwenziwe amtangulie na kuanza ibada ya Jumapili na angefika pale baada ya muda mfupi. Punde tu alipomaliza kusema hayo, alianguka chini. Alikufa ghafula kutokana na mshtuko wa moyo.

Joseph Watson Maynes kamwe hakumwona mke wake na watoto wanane tena katika maisha haya. Waliweza kusafirisha mwili wake kurudi katika Jiji la Salt Lake na kuwa na huduma ya mazishi yake katika ukumbi mzee wa Waterloo Assembly Hall. Kauli iliyotolewa katika mazishi yake na Mzee Anthony W. Ivins wa Jamii ya Mitume Kumi na Wawili inatufundisha somo muhimu kuhusu maisha, kifo, na uvumilivu: “Hii ndiyo injili inatupa---si kinga kutokana na kifo, lakini ushindi juu yake kupitia matumaini ambayo tunayo katika ufufuo mtukufu. … Unamgusia [Joseph Maynes] . …Ni furaha, na jambo la kuridhisha na shangwe kujua kwamba wanadamu hujitolea maisha yao kwa haki, kwa imani, wakiwa wakweli kwa imani.”4

Hadithi hii ya familia yangu inanishawishi kujaribu niwezavyo kufuata mfano wa uvumilivu na sulubu ya kiroho iliyoonyeshwa na baba ya babu yangu. Ninavutiwa pia na imani ya mke wake, Emily, ambaye maisha yake baada ya kifo cha Joseph hakika yalikuwa mzigo mzito kubeba. Ushuhuda wake ulikuwa imara na uongofu wake kamili akiishi maisha yake yote baadaye akiwa mwaminifu kwa imani akiwasaidia watoto wake wanane pekee yake.

Mtume Paulo alisema, “Na tuweke kando kila mzigo mzito, na dhambi ile ituzingayo kwa upesi, na tupige mbio kwa subira katika yale mashinidano yaliyowekwa mbele yetu.”5 Mashindano yaliyowekwa mbele yetu katika dunia hii ni mbio ya uvumilivu, iliyojaa vizuwizi. Vizuwizi katika mashindano haya ni changamoto tunazoamka nazo kila asubuhi. Tuko hapa duniani ili kukimbia mbio, kutumia wakala wetu wa kimaadili, na kuchagua kati ya mema na mabaya. Ili kukamilisha mbio kwa heshima na mafanikio na kurudi kwa Baba yetu wa Mbinguni, tutalazimika kulipa gharama ya kujitolea, uvumilivu na nidhamu ya kibinafsi. Tunahitaji kuwa katika hali nzuri ya kiroho. Tunahitaji kukuza sulubu ya kiroho. Tunahitaji shuhuda imara zitakazoelekeza kwa uongofu wa kweli, na kwa matokeo tupate ndani yetu amani ya ndani na nguvu inayohitajika kuvumilia changamoto zozote huenda tukakabilina nazo.

Hivyo basi bila kujali changamoto unazoamkia kila asubuhi, kumbuka---na nguvu ya kiroho unayokuza, pamoja na msaada wa Bwana, mwishoni mwa mashindano utaweza kufurahia hakikisho ambalo Mtume Paulo alionyesha aliposema:

“Kwa maana, mimi sasa namiminwa, na wakati wa kufariki kwangu umefika.

“Nimevipiga vita vilivyo vizuri, mwendo nimeumaliza, Imani nimeilinda:

“Baada ya hayo nimewekewa taji ya haki, ambayo Bwana, mhukumu mwenye haki, atanipa siku ile.”6

Nawatolea ushuhuda na ushahidi wangu wa uhalisi wa Baba wa Mbinguni mwenye upendo na mpango wake wa furaha mkuu na wa milele, ambao umetuleta kwenye dunia hii wakati huu. Roho wa Bwana awavutie kukuza ndani yenu nguvu ya kuvumilia. Katika jina la Yesu Kristo, amina.

Kwa msaada zaidi na namna ya kusaidiana katika maisha tuwasiliane. 0757755228

So when you have sex before marriage you’re playing with fire that will most certainly burn you at some point in your life… especially in your marriage relationship. 

• When you’re intimate with someone other than your spouse, you’ll have those memories from “the other person” to come back to haunt you later. (And the enemy of our faith would like nothing better than to have weapons available to use to unsettle your thoughts toward your spouse at a later date.) What if the other person kisses better or does other intimate actions with you that you eventually remember enjoying better than the love-making you’re experiencing with your spouse? It’s better to have nothing in your memory bank with which to compare those intimate times than to have those thoughts trying to crowd into your mind as you’re being intimate with your spouse.

 The object of marriage is to glorify God by serving one's spouse and helping the spouse reach his or her God-given potential! 

From a biblical perspective, the purpose of life is not to accomplish our own objectives! The purpose of life is to know God and to bring glory and honor to His name. In marriage we can commit to seek and follow God's plan for our lives and point others to God.
Marriage is God's idea.  Husbands and wives are intended to complement each other. 

 I wish you  Marry Christmas and Happy New Year 2017

Let be the year of helping your husband or wife reach his or her God-given potential!Try to copy with his/her difference by keeping praying for him or her and God will made hm/her the way you want him/her to be.

Godbless you

Our wives need to be cherished. They need to be cared for, and they need to be reminded of that. Covenantal love is not silent. Some guys think because they said it 20 years ago, that it’s still in effect until they revoke it. That doesn’t do a lot for a woman. A woman needs to be reminded through verbal words, through written words, tender worwould communicate to her that you love her.

The other night on the deck [my wife] Ernea was working on sanding some chairs. This is the way she relaxes. I’m sorry, sanding chairs, painting chairs, would not be one of the ways I would relax. I’d head to the woods or go fishing but not do that kind of thing. But I went out on the deck with her, and helped her with those chairs, and I took a couple of screws out of a chair that needed some repairing. She told me later, “You know, just you spending that time with me made a statement to me that you love me, and you care for me, and you want to be a part of what I’m doing.”

How to Start / Create a Website: The Beginner's A-Z Guide
by Christopher Heng, thesitewizard.com
This tutorial shows you how to make or create a website. It is intended for the beginner and layperson, taking you step by step through the whole process from the very beginning. It makes very few assumptions about what you know (other than the fact that you know how to surf the Internet, since you're already reading this article on the Internet). As some steps are more involved, this guide also links to selected relevant articles on thesitewizard.com that you will need to click through to read for more information.

The Essential Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Own Website
Get Your Domain Name
The first thing you need to do before anything else is to get yourself a domain name. This is the name you want to give to your website. For example, the domain name of the website you're reading is "thesitewizard.com". To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. Getting a name does not get you a website or anything like that. It's just a name. It's sort of like registering a business name in the brick-and-mortar world; having that business name does not mean that you also have the shop premises to go with it.

Detailed information on getting a good domain name can be found in the article Tips on Choosing a Good Domain Name.

After you read that, you will need to know the steps to registering a domain name and the things you need to look out for when registering. You can find a detailed guide in the article How to Register a Domain Name.

It may also be wise to take a look at some of the Important Precautions to Take When Buying a Domain Name, just so that you don't commit the same mistakes that some newcomers make when buying a domain name.

Choose a Web Host and Sign Up for an Account
A web host is basically a company that has many computers connected to the Internet. When you place your web pages on their computers, everyone in the world will be able to connect to it and view them. You will need to sign up for an account with a web host so that your website has a home. If getting a domain name is analogous to getting a business name in the brick-and-mortar world, getting a web hosting account is comparable to renting office or shop premises for your business.

There are many issues involved in finding a good web host. Read up on the various things you need to look for in the article How to Choose a Web Host.

When you have an idea of what to look for, you can search for one from the Budget Web Hosting page. You can also find out which web host I'm currently using from the Which Web Host Do You Recommend? page.

After you sign up for a web hosting account, you will need to point your domain to that account on your web host. Information on how to do this can be found in the guide How to Point a Domain Name to Your Website (Or What to Do After Buying Your Domain Name).

Designing your Web Pages
Once you have settled your domain name and web host, the next step is to design the web site itself. In this article, I will assume that you will be doing this yourself. If you are hiring a web designer to do it for you, you can probably skip this step, since that person will handle it on your behalf.

Although there are many considerations in web design, as a beginner, your first step is to actually get something out onto the web. The fine-tuning can come after you've figured out how to publish a basic web page. One way is to use a WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get") web editor to do it. Such editors allow you to design your site visually, without having to muck around with the technical details. They work just like a normal wordprocessor.

There are a number of free and commercial web editors around. One free (and open source) editor for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux is BlueGriffon. You can find a guide on how to use this editor from my BlueGriffon Tutorial. The guide takes you through the process of designing a website from scratch so that you end up with a fully-functional site, complete with multiple pages and a feedback form. (Instructions on how to get BlueGriffon can be found in that tutorial.)

For those who prefer to use a commercial program, thesitewizard.com has numerous online tutorials for a web editor called Dreamweaver. The Dreamweaver Tutorial: How to Design a Website with Dreamweaver CS6 also takes you through all the steps needed to design a complete website, in addition to providing you with the theoretical and practical foundations that will help you create and maintain the site.

There are many other web design software around. If you prefer not to use either of the above, you can find tutorials for other WYSIWYG web editors here, including one for KompoZer, another free (though somewhat outdated) web editor. And if none of them suits your taste, there are also numerous other programs listed on thefreecountry.com's Free HTML Editors and WYSIWYG Web Editors page.

After you have followed my tutorial, and are on the way to designing your website, you might want to read the article Appearance, Usability and Search Engine Visibility in Web Design as well. It takes a brief look at some of the real world issues that every web designer must deal with.

An integral part of web design is search engine readiness. Search engine promotion does not start after the web site is made. It starts at the web design stage. The article 6 Tips on How to Create a Search Engine Friendly Website is a must-read. Moreover, How to Improve Your Search Engine Ranking on Google is also important for the simple reason that Google is the most popular search engine around, at least at the time this page was written.

There are many other issues regarding the design of web pages. The above will get you started. However, if you have the time after you get something out onto the web, you may want to read my other articles on Web Design and Website Promotion and Search Engine Ranking.

Testing Your Website
Although I list this step separately, it should be done throughout your web design cycle. I list it here to give it a little more prominence, since too few new webmasters actually perform it adequately.

You will need to test your web pages as you design them in the major browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer 11. All these browsers can be obtained free of charge, so it should be no hardship to get them. Unfortunately, directly testing your site is the only way you can be really sure that it works the way you want it to on your visitors' machines. And those with access to Windows 10 should also test with Microsoft Edge, the successor to Internet Explorer. In addition, if you have a smartphone, try out your site there too.

For those who don't have Windows 10 but need Microsoft Edge, and those who run a Mac (and thus do not have either Edge or Internet Explorer), all is not lost. You can use a piece of software called a virtual machine, which mimics a completely separate computer running within your real computer. Information about this can be found in the article How to Check Your Website with Multiple Browsers on a Single Machine (Cross-Browser Compatibility Checking). Note that although that article speaks about testing with different versions of Internet Explorer, the method mentioned can also be used to obtain and test Edge, since Microsoft makes the latter available free of charge from the same location. And where Internet Explorer is concerned, you probably do not need to get any version other than 11, since most people seem to have upgraded from the older versions (at least on my sites).

If you want to improve the chances that your website will work in future versions of all web browsers, consider validating the code for your web pages. In layman's language, this means that you should check that the underlying code of your web page, called "HTML" and "CSS", has no syntax errors. You don't actually need technical knowledge of HTML and CSS to validate the page, since you can use one of the numerous free web page validators around to do the hard work. On the other hand, if the validator tells you that your page has errors, it may sometimes be hard to figure out what's wrong (and whether the error is actually a serious one) if you don't have the requisite knowledge. Having said that, some validators actually give concrete suggestions on how to fix your code, and one of them, called "HTML Tidy", is even supposed to be able to fix errors for you.

Collecting Credit Card Information, Making Money
If you are selling products or services, you will need some way to collect credit card information. If so, take a look at How to Accept Credit Cards on Your Website. I also have a step by step guide on How to Add an Order Form or a "Buy Now" button using PayPal to a Website for those using PayPal.

If you need advertisers for your website, you might want to read How to Make Money From Your Website and the follow-up article How to Increase Your Website Revenue from Affiliate Programs. A list of advertisers and affiliate programs can be found on Affiliate Programs: Free Sponsors and Advertisers. Those companies are on the constant lookout for new web publishers to display their advertisements.

Getting Your Site Noticed
When your site is ready, you can submit it to search engines like Google and Bing. Use the links below to do this.

Google's Link Submission Page
Bing's Site Submission Page
In general, if your site is already linked to by other websites, you may not even need to submit it to these search engines. They will probably find it themselves by following the links on those websites.

Apart from submitting your site to the search engine, you may also want to consider promoting it in other ways, such as the usual way people did things before the creation of the Internet: advertisements in the newspapers, word-of-mouth, etc. There are even companies on the Internet, like PRWeb, that can help you create press releases, which may get your site noticed by news sites and blogs. As mentioned in my article on More Tips on Google Search Engine Results Placement, you can also advertise in the various search engines. Although I only mentioned Google in that article, since that was the topic of that discussion, you can also advertise in other search engines like Bing and Yahoo!. This has the potential of putting your advertisement near the top of the search engine results page, and possibly even on other websites.

There are also less obvious ways of promoting your website, which you might want to look into.

Conclusion
Naturally the above guide is not exhaustive. It is a distillation of some of the essential steps in getting started with your site. If you want more information, you should read the other articles on thesitewizard.com. However, the above tutorial should be enough to help you put your website on the Internet.

• Oral testimonies and Oral Traditions
• They are distinct due to methodological and practical implications
• In the mostly quoted volume ‘Oral Tradition as History,’ Jan Vansina specifies
oral testimonies as statements made by people about events and situations
that took place in "their life time.”
• Oral testimonies include eyewitness accounts, reminiscences, and hear say
(Vansina, 1995: 12), classically collected though interviews or by listening to
oral accounts.
• In contrast, "oral tradition" refers to information or messages transmitted
orally "beyond the generation which gave rise to them" (Vansina, 1985: 13).
• Oral traditions exist in several different forms, including "memorised
traditions" like prayers and "formalised speeches" like epic (classic) and
standardised narratives.
