Miss Vivian chebichii Saina hails from Kapsabet. She was born on 26th August 198 and is the second born in a family of three, two daughters and one Son. She is pursuing a University degree in Business Management at Moi University .She shares the message below to encourage all those who feel, life has lost meaning for them and want to give up. She point them to the source of Hope, Jesus Christ, who is Lord and Saviour.
This message is for those who feel left out, unimportant, neglected and insignificant in life. Be encouraged in the knowledge that God loves you and knows you even by the locks of your hair; he knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb. You are special! Phil 4:6,7
There are times when you feel:
Too young to be recognized: The Holy Bible describes how God used Gideon, a young boy from a humble background, to lead a mighty army against the enemies of Israelites and won the war(Judges 7:20-23). Just as Gideon, God knows you on personal level. If you wait for God’s time in humility you will be exalted among those who looked down on you.
Too small to be used by God: David a humble young lad was empowered by God and he killed the giant Goliath, a mighty Philistine warrior who had slain many and was dreaded by all.
David brought down the mighty warrior with just a single stone slung into his forehead killing him instantly. God can use diverse ways for you to overcome the Goliaths of your life I Samuel 17:32-58).
Too dirty or too big a sinner to be associated to God: Jesus associated with the Samaritan woman whom many felt was too filthy as she was a harlot. He associated himself with tax collectors such as Zacheaus who accepted Jesus as personal Saviour through contact. Jesus wants to use you as his agent of change. To take the everlasting message to through contact the same way the Samaritan rushed to town and called thousands of people ...“to come and see the man who told me the secrets of my past” John 4:1-42).
Neglected: Joseph was neglected by his brothers who even contemplated killing him, but chose to sell him to foreigners who resold him to the Egyptians. God was with Joseph though, and even though he was subjected to persecutions, God used him to fulfil his dreams (Genesis 41:42-43). Sometimes bad things happen to us but when it does we should not lose hope for they are a blessing in disguise. You therefore need to look for a window of opportunity that God has opened before you and not the closed window behind you.
From the wrong sex, background, race social standing etc; God chose Mary, a simple maiden and Joseph a carpenter to bring forth the messiah of the world, son of God whose name is wonderful, counsellor, mighty God and the King of Kings.
He could have chosen the rich of the rich or the daughters and sons of mighty King but he chose Mary and Joseph. Humble yourself before the lord and he will lift you high (Mathew 1:16-25).
The examples are many in the Bible but the message is clear today, you are God’s chosen child created in his own image. When he sees you, he sees one who is wonderfully and fearfully made (Psalms 139:14)despite all disabilities and shortcomings and he is willing to use us as vessels for his honour and glory. Taste God today and you will realise how much love you had deprived yourself of.
HOPE MINISTRIES WORLD IS TODAY'S VOICE OF HOPE TO THE WORLD. WE URGE PEOPLE TO COME TO JESUS AND RENEW THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOD! IT IS TIME THE WORLD TURN BACK TO GOD OUR SOURCE OF HOPE.
