Only members of the The disappointment of hopes
and expectations at the resurrection would be indescribably dreadful.”
(History of the Church, Vol. 6, p. 50)
Jesus
told us, “33 Seek ye first the Thirty
years after Jacob journeyed into What
did the angels administer to Him? Jesus
was ordained and restored the higher Melchisedec Priesthood by ordination of the
Father; which priesthood holds authority from God to baptize with the Spirit
and administer the other saving ordinances of the gospel.
“4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of
God, as was Aaron. 5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high
priest; but he [the Father] that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I
begotten thee. 10 Called of God an high priest after the order of
Melchisedec.” (Heb. 5) “19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom
of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Matt. 16) Jesus
was ordained to the highest office of the Melchisedec Priesthood: Apostle,
Prophet, and Lawgiver the same as Adam, Noah, Moses and others before Him.
Thus He held all of the lower offices, including that of High Priest.
No one holds authority from God to preach the gospel or administer its
saving ordinances without being called by the spirit of prophecy and being
ordained by one holding at least as high an office.
“22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was
taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his
resurrection.” (Acts 1) “14
Neglect not the gift [of the Melchisedec Priesthood] that is in thee, which was
given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.” (1
Tim. 4) “22 For Moses truly said
unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your
brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say
unto you. 23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear
that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.” (Acts 3)
“18 The Spirit of the Lord is
upon me, because he hath anointed [ordained] me to preach the gospel to the
poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the
captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised.” (Luke 4) After
His ordination to the Melchisedec Priesthood, “17 From that time Jesus began
to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand [or among
you].” (Matt. 4) Jesus then organized
the kingdom on earth with all of the officers of the Melchisedec Priesthood;
as none can enter the Jesus told us, “13 Enter
ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that
leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait
is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few
there be that find it.” (Matt. 7) That
straight gate is faith, repentance and the ordinances of the gospel including
baptism of water and the spirit, and the holy Eucharist. “5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the
Spirit, he cannot enter into the Eusebius
Pamphilus, bishop of Caesarea in Palestine, one of the noted fathers of the
church, who flourished in the fourth century, wrote a whole chapter in his
“Ecclesiastical History,” to prove that the gospel of Christ was no new
thing; but was preached, not only in the days of Abraham, but long before his
day. This is undoubted authority;
for Eusebius had a good opportunity to become acquainted with the history of
this most important doctrine. The
fullness of the gospel includes both
the word of the gospel and the power of the gospel which is the priesthood
called of God and empowered to act in His name.
“5 For our gospel came not
unto you in word only, but also in power,
and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we
were among you for your sake.” (1 Thess. 1)
Every country/kingdom has officers to administer the affairs of that
country/kingdom. No one can become a
legal citizen without following the naturalization process of that
country/kingdom. This is no
different than the Anytime
God makes the kingdom available to man through the calling and ordination of a
person to the Melchisedec Priesthood it is called a dispensation. There are
individual, minor, and major dispensations. Every ordination to the holy
priesthood is an individual dispensation.
John the Baptist opened a minor
dispensation to prepare the way for Jesus.
Jesus opened the major
Dispensation of the The
gate into the kingdom (gospel) was opened to the spirits in prison who either
did not hear the gospel in mortal life, or were deceived by the craftiness of
men. Those who do not repent of
their evil deeds and change their behavior to live by the laws of God cannot
enter the kingdom. “6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them
that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live
according to God in the spirit.” (1 Pet. 4)
The honorable men of the earth who accept the gospel in the spirit can be
baptized for the dead, be forgiven of their minor sins, and enter the Jesus
was rejected by the Jews; and through their persistence had Jesus crucified.
He spent three days preaching the gospel to the spirits in prison.
Then, since there was no sin found in Him, the Father raised Him from the
grave with an immortal physical body, gave Him all power including power over
our resurrection, and sits on the right hand of the Father.
“10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom
God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you
whole 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is
become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for
there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved.” (Acts 4) “18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” (Matt. 28) “18 I am he
that liveth [from the beginning of this creation], and was dead [spent three
days in hell]; and, behold, I am alive for evermore [as a resurrected Savior],
Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Rev. 1)
“3 Who [Jesus] being the brightness of his glory, and the express image
of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high... 9 Thou hast
loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath
anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 10 And, Thou, Lord, in
the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the
works of thine hands: 11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all
shall wax old as doth a garment; 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up,
and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said he [the Father] at any time, Sit on my right
hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? 14 Are they not all ministering
spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”
(Heb. 1) It
is not known how long the kingdom and the Melchisedec Priesthood continued after
John. John, the last of the
Apostles, is believed to have died in In
325 AD the unbaptized, pagan Roman Emperor, The
The
Gentiles, like those in the former days, refused to live according to the laws
of God that were given to them. God
had given four revelations through Joseph that in the event Joseph was to be
taken that Joseph would appoint “another” in his stead.
“4 But verily, verily, I say unto you, that none else shall be
appointed unto this gift except it be through him; for if it be taken from him
he shall not have power except to appoint
another in his stead. 5 And this shall be a law unto you, that ye receive
not the teachings of any that shall come before you as revelations or
commandments; 6 And this I give unto you that you may not be deceived, that you
may know they are not of me. 7 For verily I say unto you, that he that is ordained of me shall come in at the gate and be ordained as I
have told you before, to teach those revelations which you have received and
shall receive through him whom I have appointed.” (D&C 43) On
June 18th, Joseph received his last revelation in a vision and was
told that James J. Strang was to lead the flock.
That same evening he dictated a Letter
of Appointment to James J. Strang in On Again,
the Gentiles failed to live according to the laws of God.
James was shot on Joseph
Smith and James J. Strang were both given dual missions on the earth—one in
mortality and one in immortality. Joseph,
the son of Jacob, received promises concerning his seed through Joseph Smith and
James J. Strang. Joseph was of the tribe of Joseph and James was of the tribe of
When
the angel ordained James to the Prophetic Office, he said, “13. In
righteousness shalt thou rule: thou shalt redeem the poor and the needy from
suffering and violence; and to thee God giveth judgment for them. Thou shalt
deliver the prey from the spoiler; for God, thy God, hath put them in thy hand.
14. And in weakness will he make thee strong.
Thou shalt rule among his people. Thou
shalt break in pieces the rod of the oppressor, and the yoke of the unjust
ruler. They shall flee away, but the way of peace shall they not find. 15. While
the day of the wicked abideth, shalt thou prepare a refuge for the oppressed,
and for the poor and needy. Unto thee shall they come, and their brethren who
are scattered shall come with them; and the destruction of the ungodly shall
quickly follow; for it already worketh.” (Book of the Law of the Lord, p. 171) On It
was exactly forty years from the death of Jesus to the fall of My
family has resided in My
middle daughter, Dawn, married Dean Barnett.
My youngest daughter, Sherry, married Robert Murray.
They, with other members of my family, attend our Sabbath meetings.
In the beginning of 1997, I realized that a special sign was about to be
given. In April, the birth star of
Abraham (comet Hale-Bopp) appeared. Dean
accepted the gospel and was baptized on Using
the generation formula (40 years to a generation) I expected a notable event to
occur in 2007. There were ministries
around the world that expressed the same feeling on the Internet.
In 2007 a new comet, ten times brighter than
Haley’s Comet—Comet Macholz—appeared and could be seen with the naked eye.
It could only be a sign of the times. Truly,
2007, was a special year and a sad year. It
appears to have been the beginning of the fall of world economies.
In In early 2008, Elder Stephen Munyora, in Kenya, received a vision
in which he was told, "A thousand may
fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near
you because you have made the LORD your refuge; and so great terror shall strike
at the heart of those who have ruled the nations by control and manipulation -
by trade and by extortion - as they see their idols collapse before them. And so
the great shaking and the judgments upon the Earth shall begin. They exchange
the worship of me, the Living God, for that of stocks and shares and gold and
bonds - for the worship of oil and armaments. They have exchanged their souls
for that which cannot save them. For so it is that as their life expires, all
they have amassed in the high places of the Earth, all their idols shall stand
silent." The
mission of Jesus was to last only three years; but, He prayed to God for his
mission to be extended and His prayer was answered.
“6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in
his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 7 Then said
he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking
fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I
shall dig about it, and dung it: 9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then
after that thou shalt cut it down.” (Luke 13) According
to the prophecy of Micah and the words of the angel who ordained James J.
Strang, there is to be a gathering of the saints to a place of refuge before the
great desolation and the terrible day of the Lord.
The Mayan Calendar is the most accurate in the world.
It comes to an end in 2012. Other
calendars agree. We do not know the
exact time of Jesus return; but, there are to be many terrible things happen to
man before He returns. It seems
man’s greed and worship of the delicacies of the world are beginning to turn
against him. After this comes the
desolation declared by God’s holy Prophets.
The time is growing short; but, the light is getting brighter. A new time and season has opened.
Here in On On Stephen
Njenga Munyora was born on He
told of the Lord visiting him on “Concerning
God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob I learned much concerning that in 1998 as I
was telling you. It is the time I
understood that God was preparing me concerning the forthcoming ministry. I feel
inadequate to analyze that much for the time of it has not yet come; but am
prepared for the perfect will of God to be done.” “By
the way do you know the Lord has ever told me concerning the ministry I was working in. He confirmed to me that it was wasted
years that is the
direct term the Lord used. He told me about a time (let me use the direct
words I got from Him), ‘I am about to give you out to an army who fear nothing
but breaking my laws and desire nothing but my Kingdom to come.’ My eyes by
then were not enlightened to understand what really the Lord meant.
“Finally, it is a long story but the message was for a time when it will be
too late for them that take my Kingdom to fulfill their greedy purposes; but He
promised that they will stand in the door and witness when it is crossed and they
will get the message when IT IS TOO LATE.” We immediately began to
make plans for him to travel to the Stephen
had his first interview for a visa with the U. S. Embassy on On Stephen
was given a second interview with the
Embassy on “She
seems to have heard my preaching on the TV because she was calling me by name.
We talked over thirty minutes trying to convince her we have nothing in common
with the church I was telling you of the latter day here in Nairobi [Utah LDS];
but all in vain. “She
has refused me a visa and claimed that I am not genuinely coming for that
purpose and she stamped my passport that I cannot apply again until
“But under all means and cost I cannot and I am not ready to renounce the
faith, God directed me to it with a purpose and He has a reason for all
this.” I
wrote to the Consular General, Mr. David Stone, concerning this atrocity.
Mr. Stone eventually granted Stephen another interview for an additional
$120. Stephen went to this third
interview with all the necessary documents and evidences required by the
Embassy for a visa. He wrote that
although the counselor could not give a reason for denying him the visa that he
was still refused a visa. He also
wrote the counselor “even told me that he had no doubt of my coming back to On On March 21, Stephen
wrote, “I have realized of late that God has been working behind the scene and
before the year 2007, He is ready to act in various ways that will be a
wonderful chance for the world to realize the true gospel, I have discoursed
that He is preaching and working before we enter into the scene. I discovered
that in Nakuru.” On March 24, he wrote,
“Samuel I understand that time is running and seasons changes.
Solomon said that it is good for the wise to understand seasons. He
named an insect sought of that is very good in understanding seasons, and He
said that we should learn a lesson from it. What am trying to say is that, God
has given me a good opportunity to start the [true] church of latter day saints
in On April 8, when Stephen
realized that we were finally going to meet in “Now
I want to have finished with this travel arrangements early next week and start
praising God, and worshiping him meaning business, for what He has done. Imagine
I have started forgetting the pains I have gone through those months. I cannot
be able to continue. I just want to rush somewhere and behave like somebody who
was weary and labored and the Lord give Him rest. When a time like this comes I
just forget who I am, remove everything in my table room, and shout the time has
come to praise my God... that is utterly what is going to happen today. I have
to sing for Him a new song.” I
packed about eighty pounds of books for Stephen.
Dean and I left Thursday night. All
flights were on schedule; and we arrived in On
The
church and
Stephen
advised me that any group meeting with more than six people must be a registered
society with the Kenyan Government. A
meeting of more than six people is considered illegal and the people may be
arrested. Stephen made application with the government to be a registered
society as soon as he got home; but, it takes six months in
On
May 22, Stephen’s wife Rose wrote
to me, “I've heard the teachings
provided by my husband saying that there are five crowns awaiting us in Zion:
crown of life, crown of glory, incorruptible crown, crown of life, and crown of
rejoicing. I would not like to miss
either. That is why I put every
effort not to miss the rest set ahead of me and be a partaker of the great
promise. And so therefore let us not be ignorant of this great promise so that
we may not do what others did. They
were consumed in a number of thousands by the wrath of God. But I thank God that
we are not now one of them. We have
already discovered the narrow way that leads us to the great promise.”
On
May 23, Rose wrote to me, “I
am sorry to inform you that Stephen, Peter, Festus and Phillip [new
convert] were arrested by the police last week on operating an illegal meeting.
They warned Stephen against that; but Stephen thought that by showing papers
proving that the registration is in process that could be sufficient evidence
and allow us go on and he ignored the rule. But in my house last Sabbath they
came to Stephen and we gave them contacts of our lawyer.
They went but soon they soon come back later and arrested them.
The rest were released today on security bond. Stephen is still in
custody. They are saying that he
will appear in commercial court tomorrow morning. Rose.”
The
police severely beat him while he was in jail.
This required him to be taken to the hospital as soon as he was released.
After he was released from the hospital, Rose wrote on me, “He is
bleeding and throwing up. We have known that the [
Stephen
wrote of a vision. “One day before my arrest [for
having a meeting of more than six people], I was on my way home. I was in
a dangerous place known of criminals. It was some minutes to
“From then I became so fearful fearing not such a thing to happen to me
again, and what followed was my arrest, admonition in the hospital where [Paul]
Kinyanjui met me. I promised him that after my discharge I would baptize him.
Immediately I was discharged. I could not be able to take even a glass of water
in my house, but it was surprising to tell my wife that I have to go and talk to
Kenyanjui or else I perish. I have been recalling the first day I went to
Eldoret. Paul, before any other thing else was talked about, spoke of the
premises. But, I was not comfortable
to hear that it has been a pub. But
in that situation I recalled about the garbage center.
“Dad I have an assignment and it is not yet over. I
have to prepare the Saviors wife that I believe is the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints. Please,
failure to complete the assignment the caller said I will perish.
I don’t want to perish. Allow
me to do what He has said. I remember in the first letter I wrote to you during
our introduction, I mentioned about some years back when He asked me concerning
an army of ten, who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but the While
in the hospital, after being beaten in jail, Stephen met Paul Kenyanyui.
When Stephen begins discussing the gospel, the influence of the Holy
Spirit is immediately recognizable. After
a discussion in the hospital, Paul wanted to be baptized.
The
day after Stephen was released from the hospital, although very weak, he took a
bus to Eldoret—about six hours from
Stephen
wrote of a dream. “There was another day I was sleeping. I was carried and I
had a dream. I was feeling as if there was some one brutal who was knocking at
our door. I tried to wake up but it was not possible. In that time I saw myself
in a church whereby there was a wedding
going on. The groom was in the church
waiting for the bride. The
gentleman was very clean and neat. As we were waiting for the bride an old lady
came in, very much untidy and she wore natters and she carried a huge luggage on
her back. The mother of the gentleman stood and asked her, why
are you wearing gowns for a burial service in a place of your wedding?
Another neat man who was in front stopped her and he said that is the way it is
today. He started preaching a message that was out of topic according to
me. But I heard him asking the lady, do you know that you are tied to nothing,
carrying a huge luggage and he cannot
marry you. You have dressed
contrary of the law of marriage. Those
words touched me and I stood and proclaimed in a loud voice, why then his father
deceiving her? He is the one who advised her in the long way.
Then the man who was talking told me, ‘you, young man, can you go all over and advice the ladies who are
intending to marry the way they should be properly dressed.’ I answered
yes I will, and then he authorized me to go and sign a paper that I have
accepted to do that assignment. When I was waking up to go where he was, he said
I will not go alone. I saw Rose crying and I woke up.”
“I
am feeling very tired to the point I cannot differentiate Moses and Aaron.
It has not been easy to be in the place we are now; but the grace of God
that passes all understanding has been capable to carry us through. I
have decided to do the will of the one who called me despite many obstacles
I am meeting on the way. There
was a time when I was in a situation and I wrote to you, and I informed you that
I am asking my God, why me? Where is the answer to the many
questions those are raising in my going of faith? But through the perfect
inspiration, I have been convinced beyond doubt that the grace of God is
sufficient. For we need to
persevere, for after we have done the will of God, then we shall receive the
promise of God and that is to enter to the rest set ahead of us, and not only me
but also for them that wait for his coming patiently.”
On
May 31, Stephen wrote, “Dear dad, I
have come from far. I am not a spiritual infant and I cannot be easily driven
away by the traps of the Devil. I told several times that I understand what
Timothy was instructed by Paul and whenever I look at this I always have a
picture of you as Paul and me like Timothy; and what God
has assured me is that, this mission is dedicated to Him. The brother in
Eldoret is new, he happened to go through the article I wrote some time in
the news paper and the conversation began. One
favor that God has given me is that I am not straining to convenience any one
after a short discussion I LEAVE FOR ONE TO DECIDE. And in that I have seen
God.”
On
On
June 14, he wrote, “We understand
now concerning my calling and God has
warned me several times and even I was surprised Him telling me that He is
my boss and He will supply my needs according to his riches in glory. The issue
of Eldoret is simple and more specific than all the other things we have done
and it will avail much.”
On
June 19, he wrote, “I always tell
the members here, when they enter to this Kingdom then they should put every
effort to be Gods forever, for the only
blessed race is the one that belongs to God.
When they are alive God, loves them and when they die, God will never leave
nor forsake them.
Love the Lord your God with all your mind and that means 100%. Paul said put the
full armor, meaning 100%.” On August 17, Stephen
wrote, “What
do I say, up to that extent, if God is for us who can be against us?
The missionary journeys here are
becoming much encouraging and the gifts of God which are irrevocable are
becoming consistent. I have a knowledge that He is preparing a big army to
testify about the call, gift, and the goodness of Bernard
Ngigi Mithia received an angel of the
Lord who told him of the evil in the church he fellowshipped.
Jesus also evidently appeared to him (“before I come back”) and told
him how to find the true path through Stephen.
He attended the Sabbath meeting on August
20, “he claimed to have encountered with an angel along Rift Valley and
they had a conversation together. He
was asked about the fellowship he used to attend and how sure he was that it was
Godly for him to serve there. He claimed to have wasted a lot of his money and
properties due to the leaders of that fellowship could come and give him false
reports that the Lord is interested in his properties and they would claim that
it is the Lord who speaks about that etc. [am shortening]. Now he claims that on
one Thursday last month he was coming from one of the markets some late hours
and on his way home he heard a loud voice calling his name. “He
turned around to see who was speaking to him terribly. When he turned back he
saw someone who was very neat with blaze
of fire on his background. He
fell down and the angel who was
speaking to him said ‘kim kim I have come to rescue you and to direct you to
the proper church before I come back
due to at the moment you are on your highway to the grave having people who lead
you towards the chambers of death. Go
into a double eight hotel and ask for Pastor Munyora from there.
They will know him by that name. Explain
to him what you have encountered and hide nothing and add nothing.
He will guide you to the whole truth [I am translating] and from then on
you will receive a position of a better service that will rescue you and your
family.’ He had a lot of stories; but I am trying to make it brief.” On On After Stephen and Peter arrived home in Three days later Peter was
found. Stephen wrote me on October
16, “Praise God. At last I know where Peter is. The guys he went with were
bad people. He is in police custody in Naivasha. He was conveyed to that cell by
criminal investigation. I have to get them in the morning. ... On October 13, Francis
Ndungu Kagwima had sent me an email inquiring about spiritual truth.
After answering him, he wrote me on October
18, “I am delighted to write this afternoon and am very happy for your
continued and consistent reply that I have dropped on my desk. The content was
warmly welcome and embraced by the entire family. We are grateful and rejoicing
as a deer that has just seen a stream of flowing water in a desert. “We hereby eagerly wait to receive the mentioned elder greatly
and I assure you that he will be in safe hands; all I would like you to do is to
inform me when he is getting here soonest possible. “My family and I are looking forward to receive a servant of the
most high and host him as Abraham did, for we are certain that by receiving him
we are receiving an angel of God. We are very thirsty to hear the great news of
the kingdom that he is bringing to us and the worship of the true God. “We know after we receive the news our lives will be fully
changed and we shall have a chance to be
members of the true church and our names will be written in the book of life. “We have been looking forward to a time like this when we can get
a chance to receive the true gospel, since we heard about it in the Media [Kameme
Kayu Kamuingi Fm] and we consider ourselves privileged to receive the servant of
God.” I contacted Stephen and told him I felt it was urgent for him to
visit Francis. He responded, “I
will see them (Francis) tomorrow. I will wake up and travel to Kinangop. It is a
bit far from The next day Francis wrote me, “It was with tremendous blessing
this morning to receive a God’s servant in my house. He got to my house early
this morning and we took our breakfast together. That proved to me that love
could be as quick as lightening. We took
hours studying the word of God together with my wife Agnes and my son and
wife Nganga. “We are all ready for
baptism when Elder Stephen who we accepted for his love and open spirit,
will advice when to take place, the reason why it became impossible today is
because of the SAINT held in the police custody and when he informed me about
that he is a student and he can be realized after a surrender of a logbook or a
security of the equivalent, I advised him
to go together to the station. I asked my lawyer to accompany us. When we
got there, we found that he was held as a red handed suspect; but he was
unjustly arrested. In cases like that the criminal investigation department is
not allowed to realize some one without a sufficient security bond. And that
case, unless God intervenes, it will take quite some time, not less than two
years. ...I have to consider the life of a saint as of paramount importance than
any kind of money if there is no way out before Friday, I will then surrender my
logbook but that will give the impossibility of one of my vehicles to be on the
road for unknown period of time.” The next day, Stephen wrote, “I am on my way home. I met Francis
and the family in the morning and then we went to see Peter.” “I have just
received a call from [Francis] Ndungu and they will be coming here for baptism
on the 29th.” As it turns out the man on
the bus, who Peter befriended was a criminal, kidnapped him, and then Peter
was arrested with the criminals. Had
Peter resisted, the police would have shot him. Arrangements were made with the
help of Francis’ attorney to get Peter released on the 21st.
They demanded a security to release Peter.
Francis gave Stephen the security using his own vehicle. When Stephen got to the police station on Peter was freed from custody
on October 21.
Stephen text messaged, “I am still in the station. They are demanding I
see the boss here and he is demanding money (corruption). We have already signed
security. I have to collect the amount from a second hand shop and leave my cell
phone. They will release him when I give them $70, for they are about to close.
That is why I have decided to get that money and pay later with 10% interest. He
[Peter] is just quite not in a good mood; but he was kidnapped and when cid
[police] met the guys he could not have time to explain for if he could resist
they could shoot.” The national radio stations invited Stephen to present gospel
messages on October 23, and then
answer questions. I advised him to
mention the case of Peter. He told
the story of Peter and how he was unjustly held and the policeman required a
bribe to release him. The next day Stephen text messaged, “It is unbelievable.
The ocpd of the police station was
sucked today. You can get that in the newspaper tomorrow. The boss who was
oppressing me in the case has lost his job. It is in the news.” Francis wrote me, “The good story of the day is the miracle the
God of Abraham performed after the strain to get Peter out of jail.
The whole nation has come to know that a man who believed he was somebody
in the sight of God, was nobody; and two young guys who he didn't want to
respect were somebody in the sight of God. Stephen just mentioned that in the
media Sunday morning and yesterday that guy who required a huge amount of money
was escorted to anti-corruption headquarters like nobodies business. The nation
media group is indicating it clearly in the head line... sucked in
heaven... Stephen mentioned to me that I will get my logbook back. I am
sincerely happy and delighted about it.” On On Sunday Francis wrote, “You have just blessed my soul by your
beginning words, the spirit bear witness that I am now a child of God, born of
water and spirit and having the Melchizedek priesthood.
What a joy flows in my bones. The
happiness that is contained in my heart words cannot explain, and the pleasure
of the welcome by sons of God is wonderful.
Now you are my brother, we are in the same race and we shall be together
and the bonds of our spirits will ever glorify God.” Stephen organized a School
of the Ministry in the building donated by Elder Paul Kenyanjui from
November 1, through November 11, in Eldoret. Sixteen attended classes.
“Dad this is Stephen with my own hands writing down this. The classes
are doing well. I will be back on Sunday after my radio program. I tell you,
when you see all of them in Eldoret walking and kneeling together for prayer you just see God.
There are a lot of things happening there and I wish one person from On Stephen returned from Eldoret to The next day Stephen wrote me, “My intention on coming to Nairobi
was not to make Julius [the cop] a
disciple; but to practice what we teach because I would not like to be a
Pharisee who tells other what to do and he is going different. I thank God I
know better what I teach, what I believe and before I preach to others I have
the assurance of the kingdom. You may be surprised that God loved Julius very
much. That all my strains regarding
the case of Peter ended up making a strong relationship between Julius and my
Father in Heaven.” “Movements of God are mysterious. I did not share the gospel in
any way with Julius; but I told him several strong words after his release. I
even told him that I was not ready to baptize him yesterday; but he felt as if
he was falling to the wrath of God in the next minute and found that his
protection was only behind accepting the gospel practiced my men who pity his
life.” Stephen then tried to get Julius reinstated in his job.
“Through the power bestowed in me I feel that I would need a time with
the one in charge before I leave for Eldoret. I testify the intention of God we
preach towards the life of Julius and share with them what
God told me last night and then I leave them to think about it. If they
found it good and respect one who goes to them in the name of the Lord then,
then they will give him back his job. If
they don’t I will have completed my mission.” On November 30, Stephen
wrote, “Tell dad I have felt good spirit with Julius and he is now a son of the kingdom. [Did he get his job
back?] Not yet, but he will be transferred. He got an appointment letter.” On November 15, Stephen
told of guidance by an angel of the Lord. “But, when I was on the way asking
God many questions and speaking on self, I was encouraged when God
answered my many questions by telling me that there is no temptation,
no trial, no humiliations, no insults that have seized us except what is common
to man. The very saints and heroes
we talk and read about under gone all that and they overcame. God we serve will
never allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bare. The present sufferings
cannot be compared with the glory to come. The conclusion was, I do take watch over you, I will never leave nor forsake you, the
way I was with my prophets I lead them to different places, wondered in desert
the same way I shall be with you.” On November 18, Stephen
wrote to me, “My father Samuel,
I have all the joy to send this short epistle to a brother who has been
called by God of Abraham and Jacob, sanctified and been elected for a high
mission in Christ Jesus. I believe with all my heart wherever you hear from me
despite the culture and social boundaries I do warm your heart and encourage you
for this great assignment we have been assigned to carry in oneness, looking
forward towards the reward that has been kept ahead of us. May the grace of God
that surpasses all understanding be with you now and forever till we meet again
and embrace each other because the race is not simple; but we are guaranteed
victory. “Paul the apostle when he
was in prison, where he wrote several Epistles, when he started recalling all
the saints he has uncounted in his life, how some loved the world and done away
with the gospel Paul preached to them, others abandoned him in the hour of need,
others stood with him even if the situation could be cumbersome. He could not
fail to send greetings to the house of Pilsila and Akular and the house of
Onesforo. I do thank God for the
unforgettable effort you have done towards the work of the ministry that I carry
knowing I bear the marks of it on my body.” On “I was in a very clean place, and I saw a very big lake with pure
water, and imagined the water to be warm and desired very much to get in and
start swimming. I jumped into the lake with my garments and I felt very good in
it. After then I walked with some few saints towards a place in the vision. I
got at home and I left them there and went to milk my cows that were outside,
the confidence that was in me was that my life has changed and I felt that there
are good things going on. After the milking we carried the milk with my brother
and entered to my well furnished house better than the one I stay in here in On December 16, Stephen
wrote, “I hope this finds you and mum in good health. I thank God of Jacob to
have helped me this far. I tell you I am continuing to trust him all the way
because for the few months I have been in the ministry of the true church I have
seen him and I cannot talk of even a single day I failed to see Him. My
responsibility is to do the work of the ministry focusing my eyes towards the
reward and the prize I will receive when I finish my race and hand over the
flock that was entrusted to me when I was in this life. I have tried every way
possible to see every flock remain in the race and I am still trying to
encourage the one. It may seem to be the last that my father is not interested
with number one, two or three; but whosoever will finish the race, will be
declared as a winner. “I have to hold firmly my rod and my staff so that the enemy may
not devour any sheep in the flock and teaching them to recognize the voice of
the stranger so that they may not follow him. We have heard a lot now and the
conclusion of the matter is let us fear
God and keeps His commandments for that is the whole duty for a man,
for God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing
whether was it good or evil. What encourages me is how I was when I was called
to serve the true God. I was neither
wise nor influential nor was I of a noble birth; but after my birth of water and
Spirit I began the gospel that is a stumbling block to some and to others is
foolishness but to my God it is His power. “I know I am not permanent in this world.
It is a matter of time, I fly away and be called no more but all that I
have done in this body for the sake of the gospel will follow me, my prayer is
that I may do good especially to those who belong to the family of the
believers, that is the marks in my body. I sometime feel as if I can mount up
like an eagle and get to the source of this gospel and bring it down to man, the
heart desires that but the body have no strength. I have no debt with any rank
in this would nor do I have a debt of knowing anything done before one has
become a member of the church of the first-born for if knowing that will end up
destroying the relationship between brothers then it is of no help. And I rest
on the past experience I was taught is fatal to true holiness and it is
unfruitful in the Lords service. I know that I have good Elders here who are
going to Stephen was asked by a group of 66 in Lodwar, [Northern] On December 20, he
wrote, “I am leaving for Lodwar today and I hope I will be back on
Sunday. I like this mission because it has a very good outcome.” On December 27, he
wrote, “I am very fine. I had a rough trip in Lodwar. I left Rose to send you
photos and behind us there is a house where I was sleeping. There were 48 and
still 16 awaiting baptism in Meru. I
baptized 48 in Lodwar in pits and those people are dying of starvation. I
will have a baptism here on Sunday.” On December 30, he
wrote, “I do not have sufficient words to explain to you how Lodwar
condition is, but if I can try to I tell you that place is worse.
No roads, no communication through telephone; and I think it can be of no
help to them. That place is beyond
what words can explain; but I hope you understand what is hunger sleeping hungry
and not certain of what to eat tomorrow. Not even some water to wipe your face
and the limbs of your body can be even counted.
It is actually terrible when you look at them you discover your situation
after a flow of tears.” On The

can see the knowledge of many who are just about to be judged.

informed concerning Vijay’s family
but all I know is that he is married with three kids and I am waiting for a
family photo that he has already posted.” On January
24, Stephen wrote, “Sorry in case I have been impatient, though Timothy
was asked by Paul to be in hast in spreading the gospel; preaching the word in
and out of season, time is very much gone and the door soon will be shut. It is
not our time to eat and drink and have refreshment as if we are not certain of
our calling. Whoever now cries for help
we should not hesitate to do everything possible to save the few we can; because
time is short and anything may happen after the next eleven months. “When
in the Sabbath in different places, two Elders were carried by the Spirit and
they have proclaimed that there is something
extraordinary that will come to this world after the next few months; and we
have warned the saints to remain faithful to their calling.

of death or life. I have prayed for a team for a long time. It has been my

what people think He is.” On February 23, he
wrote, “Mum, we are in Caltex in a

Lodwar] is requesting for a bag of maize, beans, and rice that will sustain them
for some days. I have a free transport from the media who are conveying food.” On March
2, he wrote, “I preached in a bus
after I was caught by the Spirit and request Alex and other three
we are planning baptism.” On March 3, Stephen
wrote possibly of another vision,
“I pray that God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob keeps you safe, guide and protect
you until the day of the Lord when He shall gather all of his own, them that has
been chosen by him from the world. I always ask him to clothe us with his
righteousness and love, so that when the battle is strong, we will be able to
fight for our souls. I can feel the enemy is purposed to mislead them that
will be found with weak hearts. “These things I command you that you love one another and if the
people of this world hates you know that they hated me first, if you were of the
world, the world would love its own; but being chosen out of them then there is
a reason of them to speak against you, “you hypocrites, did Isaiah not
prophesy of you saying, these people draw near me with their mouth, honor me
with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. But in vain they do worship,
teaching doctrines the commandments of men, and here comes the conclusion for
every matter, everything has been said” fear God and keep his commandment this
is the whole duty for a man. For God shall bring every work into judgment;
including every secret thing, whether it be good or evil. Is it not yet a very
little while? The meek shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor
among men will rejoice in the holy one of On March

began raining from today meaning they will require help for a few more
days.” On March

complaining about last night we were able to talk, amended the few differences,
prayed together and joined in fellowship and welcomed the lady I told you of.
Now she is of the Kingdom, her sins washed, and now
left all the works of the devil after a serious deliverance, the purpose of
the devil was defeated and the perfect will of God was done. Praise God. I have
to attend some few baptisms in Kariobangi South today and this people are
calling me.” “There
is a saint who walked in the same Nissan with an angel, talking and discussing a great issue for a very long
distance. They were together till
when they were involved in a road accident.
All the people who were in the bus
died; but he was guided, wiped the dust from along his clothes, and the
angel directed him home. We were astonished to hear that yesterday.” On March
7, he wrote, “Muchemi is here.
He is saying thank you for the support of food.” On March
9, he wrote of an angelic visitation,
“As I told you often and now I say again with tears
even weeping, there was a time I was serving the strange God, with enemies of
the true Gospel, whose end was destruction, who’s God was their belly and
whose glory was in their shame, who minded earthly things. We used to speak in
the respect of want. My eyes were blinded and I could not know that I did not
know and I did not know that I did not know. Though I had the desire to serve
and please God, unfortunately I encountered with the people who were very
hypocritical as thieves or poachers who are waiting for something to gulp down.
But God did not allow it to happen that I have missed the chance to know Him better and to understand Him as the God in heaven and
on earth. “The gospel of Christ, He comes to his own, and His own received
Him not, but them who dared to accept him He introduced them to the kingdom of
God and that was not enough they were given the power and licensed to become
children of God, who were not born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of men; but of the will of God. What do you see dad in that? “You
have accepted the gospel I preach, then from today I have even gave you the
power to become the child of God and call me abba father.” The same case
haunts my soul; the gospel I preach is foolishness to the children who follow
the will of their father the devil, who committed sin since the beginning. It is
not accepted by many, it is the desire of my heart, to gather many, as a hen
gathers her brood under her wings until this generation realizes He was
blessed—HE who came in the name of the God of Isaac, whenever I flashback all
this and meet somebody interested to know my God and comes in to serve Him then
I do not hesitate but ask him today you will be with the other number of
Saints who are awaiting for the day of their reign, them that have kept their
worldly desires aside and now they pursue the heavenly one.
They have nothing to grasp on this world but they look forward towards a
better country, where the desires of their heart shall be met.” “The Book of the Law is
now interpreted in Swahili.” On March 18, Stephen
wrote, “I am planning a jumbo baptism
coming Sabbath [25].” On March
21, he wrote, “I think God has been preparing me for a mission similar to
that you hold because I understand the same case applies to you.” “I
talked with Vijay [in India] yesterday and I consulted him regarding the time he
wants me there; but he has some issue he wants to work out with the Philippians
friends so that I may carry that mission together. They speak completely broken
Swahili but at least I can understand since they speak one word after the
other.” “Kirinyaga

21, he also wrote, “I received a telegram from Lodwar
today. Muchemi says he has increased the number of Saints from the day he went
back and he mentioned that he has over forty
people awaiting baptism and someone to give them the basic of our Faith.” On March 22, he wrote,
“Kiserian is an Estate that needs
attention, and if properly tucked to may give some good results in the help of
reaching many to the Kingdom. The people who stay along those areas are
financially stable and due to the prejudice of the people in “I have a very good outcome of the work we did in Caltex and the
devil was very mad of that work.” On March

stage now to Mombassa. I will be there in the morning. There is a Bishop
of Baptist Church who is fully convinced that we serve the true God. He
lives in Kiserian and he almost got left by the bus here. He wants to join the church; but he is tied because he earns his
daily bread with the work of that church. He was confused; but I gave him
dad’s email address.” On March
23, Stephen sent me an email from Muchemi.
“Dear Elder Samuel, Agree to receive

is good that God has revealed to us them that had come with a gospel holding
intention to mislead many so they go to hell with them.
It is not really easy to know the doctrine they preach that is
counterfeited unless it pleases God to give understanding that can make one know
the narrow path and walk on it because it leads to perpetual life. Then we
should put up all the necessary effort to rescue the few we can because time is
extremely short. The enemy is furious of the work going on because his
intention is to mislead even the elect if possible and now, day after day, time
after the other, he keeps on loosing and will until we get to the great day when
we shall be gathered together sons of prophets and apostles, in
the mountain of Zion we shall sing praises of victory to meet with God of
Jacob that brought us all the way and crossed us the wilderness of this world.
When we shall be happy there, others will be in a place of remorse, unsatisfied
desires, a place of memories but to us the small remnant the day of our joy will
come and we see in our eyes the one we have served.” “Tell dad we are here with

wrote, “Since I come to know you guys, it
is now a year ago. You have warmed my heart and you have been proved by my
heart as true brothers. I have also proved that you are an asset of great value
in the Kingdom of God Father. Your patience and understanding go far beyond the
reach of our enemy the devil. A crown of glory awaits you in On On June 6, Stephen
wrote, “I have said hi five because of what the Lord has done. My two
brothers have come to receive the real baptism today, after so long they have
now seen the light of the gospel.” I am going to greatly limit the
correspondence from this point. On July
12, Stephen wrote, “Nephi did well listening to the voice of God well;
walking with that voice helped him much. If
we hear the voice as Nephi let us then humble our self before the Lord. It is
this humbleness that led Prophet Joseph. He is now respected by heavens above
and the law of gravity cannot hold him. I wish I were there when James J. Strang
was being ordained under the hands of angels. I
wish I could meet with Joseph Smith holding the laws of my God.
They are really worth to be honored and called heroes and a cloud of
witness who are awaiting me. Let the gentiles and every creature know the work
that was done by the named heroes and yet they have not received the promise
waiting for me to be done with the harvest and I join them.
The church has a very limited time to change the world and overturn it
upside down. Them that claimed to be
very spiritual, holier than thou, they have already proved themselves who they
are. They are doing things similar
to their father the devil. They are killing in their synagogues, they are
stealing in their synagogues, they are serving a god who is dumb and deaf, one
who never answer prayers, and because they have reached their home and Jesus
called them hypocrites, and blood of vipers, let us then put every effort to
snatch others from the mouth of the devourer.” On June
27, Stephen wrote, “The Saints who are there are almost seventy who are
near Lodwar and other thirty who are in the outcast of Lodwar who I left the
Elder in charge to go and baptize them.” On July
8, Stephen wrote, “I was warmed and extremely challenged by the
manifestation of God in power and wisdom among the saints in Eldoret. The Holy
Spirit is speaking with encouraging words and prophecies that are making someone
hair stand on end. I have never experienced what I experienced today. Through an
elder, when they knelt down to pray, the brother shouted with strange voices and
he said, “I AM God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, I was, I am and I will ever be.
I was with my prophets. I spoke to Moses my servant in the burning bush
and provided my laws and doctrines so that you may do my will, before my wrath
sweeps the corners and strongholds of this world.
I will ever cover you so that the darts of the enemy may not reach you.
The world is about to get in a great tribulation that cannot be
overcome by a weak heart. Behold, I have anointed my servants so that they may
burn the candle sticks to the whole world before the end comes.
The voice was terribly strange such that no one could withstand it. He
called me by name and said Stephen, you are a lamb.
Stand and I am delighted with you, do not be worried as I was with my
Prophets I will ever be with you. I
will never leave nor forsake you. My dear children you will ever be called mine
as long as you do what I have commanded you.
After then He spoke in a new tongue that I could not understand.
He used words like lamentations kind of and then He proceeded in Swahili.
There is a black raven flying from East to West, named on the front face as
death, my children, CHASE IT! He proceeded, with a very low voice, there are
wars and rumors of my coming but I will keep you so that you may not face
trouble, with a very low voice. He was like whispering. He said be patient to
one another, love one another and have brotherly love.
Carry each ones burden. Do everything to glorify my name but not to show
up to the world, listen and respect my servants; do not point a finger at
them. I am the one who called them, put on completely the new nature which I
have clothed you with and I will be called your Father and you my sons and
daughters. He finally said you pray
for three days because of the saints I have called.
They have heeded to my voice but the angel of darkness has delayed their
ordinances. I have rebuked him for you.” On On August
22, Stephen wrote, “When I entered the Kingdom you alerted me of terrible
and worse temptations and actually they have come on our way, but the grace of
God has enabled us to pursue holiness and to endure temptations and after all
temptation God has enabled us to be firm knowing the crowns and prize will be
great when we finish the race. I have just received an email from He
also wrote, “As the angel of the Lord
appeared fourteen days ago to an Elder in Eldoret, when he just departed a
bus late in the evening, he says that he was very much in the Spirit that day
and he just felt within him that it was his opportunity to share the goodness of
our God. He was deeply meditating
the doings of God when he heard a low voice like that of a tropical bird calling
him. He looked behind to see who was speaking to him with such a nocturnal
sound. No sooner had he looked behind him that he saw a lace of a garment partly
hidden by a cypress tree. He felt a lot of fear but he could not make a move
again and he could not be able to compose himself to see what it was all about.
When he was still stranded and not sure what was going on, the voice
courageously spoke to him. These are the words he got ‘the time has come for
God of Abraham to show mercy to his remaining remnant. He has spoken through
thunders and earthquakes but mankind have not turned from his wicked ways. He
has spoken of his coming but men have flown to their own understanding and have
done away with the counsel that taught mankind not to sin against their God. He
has provided his laws and commandments to them that love and fear Him and if
they watch not to grieve the Spirit of oaths that has been given to them, they
will be congratulated before the judgment seat and have been flown from the
coming wrath of God that will sweep the four corners of the earth. Pray without
ceasing because the end is near that expected my servants to do the work of the
ministry without becoming weary. I am coming quickly and my reward is at hand.

our branches in Kitengela because the fame reached me of how the Holy Spirit is
using an elder there, though I was unable to wait to the end of the meeting due
to I received a call that I had a person who was very sick and was supposed to
be taken to the hospital. I was able
to be in the Sabbath most of the time. “What surprised me most is that God is using this Elder in a mighty way, after he stands up to start
the meetings he is revealed by the Holy Spirit about the problems with people.
He calls a person in his three names, and ministers to him or her just in the
point of the need; and then after that he gives the word of what the Spirit that
is guiding him towards the problem of that person. The people he calls are not
known to him; and they even have never met before. But diseases such as Aids,
malaria, and other big diseases are healed.
He is also led to know the people disturbed by the power of witchcraft.
People come from very far having problems and diseases until the room they meet
in cannot accommodate more. What
they are doing now is closing the doors so that the others who are late can hear
from outside. The capacity of attendance
yesterday was over five hundred people and we are going to baptize 104 today
because I must be there. He is requesting books of the Doctrines, Book of Mormon and some
tracks which I am to work out. We are happy to have the true priesthood and to
be members of the small remnant.” On October 19, Stephen noted, “He guides
someone to the kingdom and then the healing follows.” On On November 9, Stephen
wrote, “Maasai are the best people to deal with, when it comes to repentance
to them it is a complete change of direction, that brings forth breaking culture
completely and a total surrender to the will of God like a new born child is how
they are when they come to have the knowledge of God. You can find people in On November 12, Stephen
wrote, “I was thrilled with your email I received this morning. It is a good
always to understand the voice of the one who called us. Failure to understand and
comprehend the call results in failing to do the will of God. When I
received the ordinances required in the true church in On November 22, Stephen
wrote, “We had a good time last Sabbath with the orphans in our children’s
home. We have a very powerful small boy that God is using to minister to
those orphans and he is one of them. I had visited them so that I may plan how
some of them can go to school... As the young guy in home said last Sabbath that
this world was once lived by others who today are no more and they have already
flied away but what they left behind gives their history to remember either
their good deeds or evil deeds that they did in the flesh.
We hereby pray for all of us who are undergoing temptations and trials to
really have Spirit of Wisdom which will whisper to them that when we are done
with the present sufferings we surely come out as victors and as gold and
finally the temptation we face today
cannot be compared with the Glory to come.
The young boy in the home was discovered as a man called of God in the
ministry by Elder Victor who did not hesitate to ordain him an Elder.” The next day he wrote, “Yes…The young boy in the children’s
home who goes by the name of Martin is a very interesting servant of God. He
holds a total committal in life as a priest and I have seen God moving in his
life. He is called with the same calling as Elder Victor. When both Elders start
ministering you cannot hold tears that flow along your cheeks. You
have never come across a sick person waiting to die very much prepared for
death. Isolated in the society because of his illness and all of a sudden he is
called by names, forgiven of his sins, and set free from his bondage. Elder
Victor mentioned illness as a result of sin; but by living a holy life and being
ministered with the proper ordinances, the nature of sin cannot withhold the
priesthood blessings. After His
teaching the movement of the Spirit of God is doing mighty things and many
are turning away from their sins.” On November 24, Elder
Victor wrote to me many things including, “It is during this mission [with his
uncle] I happened to hear Elder Stephen with a team in Kitengela and I could
feel something drawing me nearer to the place they were. I did not receive the
message that evening; but after prayers they made I could not sleep the whole
night. I was feeling as if I was dying the next minute. I went in the following
morning to the site they were at and heard that they had a baptism in On November 28, Stephen
wrote about leaving the next
afternoon for On December 28, Stephen
wrote, “Time is remaining short and we shall hear the voice of the archangel
in the sky. These are the last days
and the return of our Lord is dwelling nearer. It has turned as a first
announcement in all our branches, that any time, any moment, something can
happen and we will get the reward and the prize for all we have done in this
life. An angel of the Lord ministered to
an Elder [Martin] in the church fourteen days ago.
He held a candlestick on his right hand and a sword in the left hand. The
Elder says he was told that the day has come for the light of the gospel to
reach the few who are subject to understanding it and follow the ways of the
Lord and the judgment is just about to fall to them that did not respect the
voice of God and took the grace of God in vain. The sword is ready to cut every
plant that bears no fruit and be destroyed; but them that have decided to follow
the light will rejoice in On On March 9, Stephen
wrote, “We were able to bring 108 new members in Githurai and they are still
coming one after the other very eager to hear the good news of the Kingdom and
that gives all the praise to the Almighty.” On March 17, Stephen
wrote, “The other good news is that we have another new branch that was formed
today in Karai, 8 kilometers to Naivasha town, which I learn that 61 new members
were baptized by Elder Samuel together with Elder Mburu, God has received
all the glory. In total today we have 79 new members for the On June 4, Stephen
wrote, “Let me make it clear to you that
we have 57 Elders in Kenya, 27 branches and close to 2100 members; but the
figure of the number of the saints is not accurate, when I will be able to
establish the actual number by end month I will advise you.” In
June we learned that James Mubiru (in Uganda) in whom I had the greatest trust
had been lying to me, deceiving me with many events that were not true, and
robbed me of much of my retirement fund. On July 15, Stephen
wrote, “Father, I have undergone a lot
of problems since I started preaching the right gospel which I will never forget
until I reach the mark and I receive the gifts of God and I am declared a
winner. I meditate what I have gone through day and night and I am willing to
carry on because the gift of life cannot be plucked out from me by anyone unless
I fail to enter His rest as others of the old did and they were consumed by the
fire of God. Continue to pray for me as I
pray for you also so that we may be fit to enter into His rest.” In
July, Stephen went to On On November 8, Stephen
wrote, “All the effort we use in our own pleasure just lasts for a day; but
all the efforts we make to get our Father known is recorded in chronicles and it
makes our hope brighter. The
pleasures of this life have lead many astray; but the
pleasures of eternity still stand and give a lot of hope to them that await his
appearance. There is a joy awaiting us and whenever we meditate about it
then we make a vow forward ever and backward never. Yes our calling is very
individual. We were not called as a
group but each heard his own calling. The
ministries upon us may seem different because we are called individually to
establish the body of Christ. The field that God has called us to let us carries
on with all the faithfulness focusing on the author and perfecter of our faith
and the founder of the church of the firstborn whose names appear in heaven.” On On June
3, Stephen wrote of his trip to Israel,
“This matter of commitment to follow and to keep the law of God is really not
a paradise of fools, all that is involved it is actually traumatizing but
whenever you focus towards the ending of the race, crowns involved, the joy
ahead, glory to come then you ask the Spirit to enable you to persevere to the
end since from the day of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of God suffers
violence. I had a wonderful trip in On September
3, Stephen wrote, “We were able to
establish two other branches, where the Elders presiding were given names of the branches by angelic visitation. They told me one
was called Kingdom Embassy and the other one Kingdom Gates, both have a theme of
preparing people for his kingdom, when the openings get like this, you find the
enemy fighting from within, you want very much to smile but you have to shy
since there is a lot that has not been accomplished you cannot have peace of
mind when the situation is like this, however, we are right where God wants us and His timing is perfect, even though
we don’t understand. If we try to do it on our own strength, we will only
prolong the process and will go one more time around the mountain... Things have
been so hard for my ministry this time but I have Icons of hope that things are
getting better ahead. When the ministry becomes strong, its demands become so
high I am down somehow since things are not going the way I want them.
I am expected to do more than my ability, but God will carry me
through.” On September
8, Stephen wrote, “I was compelled by the situation to attend our youth
conference, though there was no money. I had to sell my cell phone and attend
it, as it was the plan of God for me to attend it because there were things that
God revealed to us. I wish I could have funds to enable me to forward all the
information but I will try to give a portion of it... Yesterday we finished a
church. We were invited there. The
Spirit asked us to demand them to submit all the dead things in their church.
They brought old drums, broken speakers, old calendars and a lot of things that
were in that church which were not used. The Elder was asked to burn them by the
Spirit. When the fire rose the Spirit said there were a lot of old things in
them that are not godly. They had worship of idols, records of evil and the
Spirit was present to purify them if they wanted.
After then there was a request of the people who could stop worshipping
foreign gods and worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The Pastor and three quarters of
the church came forward. We
introduced the true gospel and right ordinances and we baptized 34. I will share
more when I get the ability.” On On October
27, Stephen wrote, “I was taking the following notes for you from a last
Sabbath teacher "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall
remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty whose power no foe can
withstand. You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night nor of the arrow,
the evil plot slanders of the wicked." "A
thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but it shall
not come near you because you have made the LORD Your refuge” And
so great terror shall strike at the heart of those who have ruled the nations by
control and manipulation - by trade and by extortion - as they see their idols
collapse before them. And so the
great shaking and the judgments upon the Earth shall begin. They exchange
the worship of me, the Living God, for that of stocks and shares and gold and
bonds - for the worship of oil and armaments. They have exchanged their souls
for that which cannot save them. For so it is that as their life expires, all
they have amassed in the high places of the Earth, all their idols shall stand
silent." On November
29, I received an email from the Center Fellowship in “We,
therefore, thought it better to request your office concerning affiliation; and
for you to reach us and our groups with this good teaching of love and unity to
our groups in Stephen
is busy trying to visit all the branches before the end of the year.
I do not expect to hear from him again until 2009. “May
our merciful loving Father in heaven bless you in every way. Please, we would be
very grateful if there is a possibility to get in touch with some church members
there in the I
answered James and he responded, “I was so glad to hear from you and
most delighted with the news that there are other groups of the original LDS
church here in “Please Elder West, thank you for all your possible help to see
that I receive baptism including my whole group and above all my wife who was at
first also in the Utah Mormon church. We got married immediately after serving
as full time missionaries for the above church and I testify to you that it was
God's divine plan for us to decide to change our path to eternity by being
willing to follow the teachings of the original LDS church leaving all the
friends we have been associating with in our previous faith before seeing the
light. It is our great hope and faith that our merciful father in heaven may
provide any quick possible way for us to be part of His true restored church.
All along I have been searching the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon
including Doctrine and Covenants ( I
wrote to Stephen and advised him concerning those in “The
greatest duty we owe to ourselves and our families in this mortal life is to
know God, understand His will, and secure our salvation in eternity. We all
lived together as spirits before living in this mortal flesh. Our works during
this first estate determined spiritual opportunities now. “In
that case the brethren in “The
gate to enter to the “Saints of God are the “Woe, what an opportunity you have to choose to enter into the James responded to Stephen on “Well, I am grateful for Elder Samuel E. West's great teachings
and his words of exaltation so that all those with a broken heart and contrite
spirit may repent of their sins, be baptized and receive the holy ghost as they
join the Lord's true restored church with true priesthood used in performing
ordinances pertaining to our salvation and exaltation. May our merciful father
in heaven bless him in his divine work of gathering the faithful from this
corrupt world as we await for the Lord's second coming. “Please Elder Munyora, thank you for the great work you are doing
in serving the Lord. I know that there is no greater call than that you are
fulfilling in seeing that true restored gospel is preached in this part of the
world and we look forward to warmly
receiving with you here in Elders Stephen and Peter took a bus from On November 21, he
wrote, “I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Please, tell mum
that I enjoy her text messages. Allen also sends her warm regards to you and we
are so glad that Bill is in good condition now after recovering from Malaria
fever. Please, dad and mum we greatly appreciate all your love and care. It was
such a wonderful church service we had last Sabbath and the attendance was good
(68) and among those in attendance was a friend of mine [his brother] by the
name of Samuel Muzaale.” Two more branches were organized in At some time before June, 2007, James Mubiru apostatized. He
had sent me frightening stories of problems he was encountering and had no money
to cover the expenses. I guess I was
too softhearted. The following is an
example of his deceitful conduct. On In June, 2007, we became
fully aware of the deception. Four
elders in Before the return of our Lord the worthy members of the kingdom
that remain are to be gathered to a place of refuge.
“8 And thou, O tower of the flock [James J. Strang], the strong hold of
the daughter of The angel who ordained James J. Strang said, “15. While the day
of the wicked abideth, shalt thou prepare a refuge for the oppresed, and for the
poor and needy. Unto thee shall they
come, and their brethren who are scattered shall come with them; and the
destruction of the ungodly shall quickly follow; for it already worketh.”
(Book of the Law, p. 171) Then there will
be desolation beyond comprehension. “6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at
hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. 7 Therefore shall all
hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: 8 And they shall be afraid:
pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that
travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to
lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.” (Isa.
13) Very soon Jesus will return,
“8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey
not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (2 Thess. 1) “6 And in those days
shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death
shall flee from them.” (Rev. 9) The Bible contains many prophesies of the destruction of the
ungodly. Only a third of the House
of Israel is to survive. “9 And I will
bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is
refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I
will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my
God.” (Zech. 13) It will be even worse for the gentiles (also called heathen).
“15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all
the heathen [gentile]: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy
reward shall return upon thine own head. 16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy
mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and
they shall swallow down, and they shall
be as though they had not been.” (Obad. 1)
“3. The Saints of the former days have sat in judgment upon them; they
have judged the earth, and the nations thereof shall not be spared:
fire goeth before, famine followeth after; and the pestilence shall waste
them.” (Book of the Law, p. 203) Isaiah
tells us, “5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because
they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting
covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell
therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few
men left.” (Isa. 24) Then the final Harvest Dispensation begins. God
promised Abraham that from his time the elect of God would be of his seed.
He covenanted with Abraham and renewed the covenant with Isaac and Jacob.
“7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed
after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto
thee, and to thy seed after thee. 8
And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art
a stranger, all the Gentiles are adopted into the House of Israel through baptism of
water. “27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on
Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there
is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be
Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
(Gal. 3) All other saints of God will inherit the Then all members of the After the desolation and the gathering comes the organization of
the After the thousand years, Satan is released for a short season to
deceive man once again and then fire destroys all mortality. Then comes the
second resurrection of the unjust and man enters eternity as immortals in one of
three glories. “40 There are also
celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one,
and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun,
and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star
differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the
dead.” (1 Cor. 15) There will be a new heaven and a new earth.
Members of the If you want to understand what you have read, pray to the God of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. A remnant of the Melchisedec Priesthood remains and
the gate into the kingdom is open; but the time is short.
It is your choice whether to be counted among the worthy or follow the
will of man, die, and fail to inherit the earth.
“30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth
all men every where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which
he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained;
whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from
the dead.” (Acts 17) “15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you
this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that
were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land
ye dwell [or the Trinitarian god of sectarian Christianity]: but as for me and
my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24) |
