Maoni yangu binafsi juu ya masuala mbalimbali yanayoendelea duniani

Whoever thought Bashite is the reincarnation of Mwendazake is dumb!

We know Mwendazake whom we never liked, at all, and his impostor would soon find out he will never lead us.

We are better than that!

Keep the nonsense out of our lives it is just too soon to accommodate another maniac.

Morning Reflection (QT) - (Colossians 1:24-29)

Introduction.

The apostle Paul describes how he has suffered for the sake of the gospel and affirms that his task, as a servant of the church, is to proclaim God’s message.

Reflection.

Re-read verse 27. What are your thoughts about Paul’s writing regarding God’s plan and the “secret” that God is making known?

According to verse 29, what is the source of Paul’s strength?

Is this something you can claim? In what ways does Christ give you strength?

Pray

Lord Jesus, thank you for the mighty strength that you provide and which is at work in me. In whatever struggles I may face, I know that you are there to help and guide me.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Colossians 1:24-29

Colossians 1:24

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is the church,

Colossians 1:25

of which I am a minister in accordance with God’s stewardship given to me to bring to completion for you the word of God,

Colossians 1:26

the mystery hidden from ages and from generations past. But now it has been manifested to his holy ones,

Colossians 1:27

to whom God chose to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; it is Christ in you, the hope for glory.

Colossians 1:28

It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.

Colossians 1:29

For this I labor and struggle, in accord with the exercise of his power working within me.

FIRST READING
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
ROMANS 16: 3 - 9, 16, 22 - 27

Brethren: Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I but also all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks; greet also the church in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert in Asia for Christ. Greet Mary, who has worked hard among you. Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners; they are men of note among the apostles, and they were in Christ before me. Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord. Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you. I Tertius, the writer of this letter, greet you in the Lord. Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole Church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartos, greet you. Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages but is now disclosed and through the prophetic writings is made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith - to the only wise God be glory for evermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.

The Word of the Lord.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
2nd Corinthians 8: 9.

Alleluia.
Though Jesus Christ was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich.
Alleluia.


GOSPEL
If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches?
LUKE 16: 9 - 15

At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, “Make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal habitations. “He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all this, and they scoffed at him. But he said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.”

The Gospel of the Lord.
 
Evening Reflection (QT)

Haggai 1:1-15.

Introduction.

Haggai was one of the prophets who urged the people to rebuild the Temple.

The people had returned from exile in Babylonia (538 B.C.) and had lived in Jerusalem for nearly twenty years, but the Temple still lay in ruins.

Haggai warns the people that their failure to rebuild the Temple has brought about the hardship they are experiencing but that these hard times will end once construction work begins.

Reflection.

What was Haggai’s message to the people? What were the consequences of their apathy? How did Haggai stir the people to action?

Within your community of faith, how are people inspired to take action when faced with a task?

Pray

Lord God, forgive me whenever I am apathetic and fail to carry out your will.

Thank you for your steadfast love and words of encouragement from the Scriptures.

Inspire me to act when confronted with a task that will further your Kingdom.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Haggai 1:1-15

Haggai 1:1

On the first day of the sixth month in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak:

Haggai 1:2

Thus says the LORD of hosts: This people has said: “Now is not the time to rebuild the house of the LORD.”

Haggai 1:3

Then the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet:

Haggai 1:4

Is it time for you to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies in ruins?

Haggai 1:5

Now thus says the LORD of hosts: Reflect on your experience!

Haggai 1:6

You have sown much, but have brought in little; you have eaten, but have not been satisfied; You have drunk, but have not become intoxicated; you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed; And the hired worker labors for a bag full of holes.

Haggai 1:7

Thus says the LORD of hosts: Reflect on your experience!

Haggai 1:8

Go up into the hill country; bring timber, and build the house that I may be pleased with it, and that I may be glorified, says the LORD.

Haggai 1:9

You expected much, but it came to little; and what you brought home, I blew away. Why is this?—oracle of the LORD of hosts— Because my house is the one which lies in ruins, while each of you runs to your own house.

Haggai 1:10

Therefore, the heavens withheld the dew, and the earth its yield.

Haggai 1:11

And I have proclaimed a devastating heat upon the land and upon the mountains, Upon the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil, upon all that the ground brings forth; Upon human being and beast alike, and upon all they produce.

Haggai 1:12

Then Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak, and all the remnant of the people obeyed the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, since the LORD their God had sent him; thus the people feared the LORD.

Haggai 1:13

Then Haggai, the messenger of the LORD, proclaimed to the people as the message of the LORD: I am with you!—oracle of the LORD.

Haggai 1:14

And so the LORD stirred up the spirit of the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and the spirit of the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, so that they came to do the work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,

Haggai 1:15

on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year of Darius the king.

The government announced today that Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA) will finally be handed over to the state-run Tanzania Airports Authority (TAA) tomorrow, but the real beneficiaries of KADCO, the company that operated the airport for 25 years and collected billions in revenues, remain shrouded in mystery

* KIA is the third-busiest airport in Tanzania and is the gateway to the country's main safari tourism hotspots in the northern circuit

CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS:

✅ 11 March 1998, Kilimanjaro Airports Development Company Limited (KADCO) is registered at BRELA, with mystery shareholders Mott MacDonald International Ltd (99%) and Inter Consult Ltd (1%)

✅ Just 3 months after KADCO was registered (17 July 1998), it enters into a new shareholding agreement, where the Tanzania government got 24% of the shares of the company, Mott MacDonald International Ltd (41.4%), South Africa Infrastructure Fund (30%) and Inter Consult (T) Ltd (4.6%)

✅ On 10 November 1998, just 8 months after KADCO was established, the company signs a 25-year concession agreement with the Tanzania government, giving it exclusive rights to develop and operate KIA, despite having no track record nor previous experience in running an airport

✅ In 2006, the government reviewed the performance of KIA and discovered the following anomalies:

* Shareholders failed to invest in infrastructure upgrade at KIA, leading to poor performance of the airport

* KADCO was NOT PAYING any concession fee to the government for operating the airport despite collecting revenue. There was no concession fee clause in the agreement

* There is also no clause for TERMINATION of the concession in the agreement. The agreement only has a clause for renewal of the lease after every 15 years when the 25-year concession expires

* The concession agreement PROHIBITS the construction of any international airport within a 240km radius of any side of KIA, hence effectively giving KADCO exclusive rights to operate the only international airport in the region

✅ When government sought a review of the unconscionable terms of the concession agreement, the shareholders REJECTED any amendments. In 2009, the government decided to buy out the shareholders of the company and acquired 100% ownership of KADCO. It remains unclear how much the government PAID the shareholders to reliquish ownership

✅ KADCO continued to operate KIA, despite the government taking 100% ownership of the company amid audit queries from the CAG and Parliament on the WHEREABOUTS of revenue collected by KADCO as operator of the airport

✅ 9 November 2023, the Minister of Transport, Prof. Makame Mbarawa, announced in Parliament that KIA will now officially be handed over to TAA on 10 November 2023
