In 2010, aged thirty-two, married with two young children, he was arrested and sentenced to death for ‘apostasy’ (converting to Christianity from Islam). Thankfully, two years later, after sustained international pressure, the decision was reversed.

During his trial, Pastor Nadarkhani refused to recant his belief despite facing a death sentence. He told the judge, ‘I am resolute in my faith and Christianity and have no wish to recant.’ The then UK Foreign Secretary, William Hague, paid tribute to his courage. The Guardian newspaper described him as ‘an inspiringly brave Christian’. Pastor Nadarkhani, like many Christians around the world today, still faces persecution for his faith.*

Jesus gives us a picture of true humanity. Dare to be different, by being like him. Don’t follow what the world tells you is desirable, but follow God by becoming more Christ-like.

Psalm 119:17-24

Be a ‘stranger’ on earth

Do you ever feel like you don’t quite fit in with those around you at work or in your neighbourhood? Do your values and lifestyle seem to be a little different? Do you sometimes face ‘scorn’ and ‘contempt’ (v.22)?
The psalmist says, ‘I am a stranger on earth’ (v.19). All the great men and women in the Old Testament were ‘strangers on earth’ (Hebrews 11:13). The apostle Peter writes, ‘Live your lives as strangers here’ (1 Peter 1:17). Like the psalmist, as servants of God, we are called to be different from those around us.
Unlike those around him, the psalmist writes, ‘My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times’ (Psalm 119:20). As he reads the Scriptures, he prays, ‘Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law’ (v.18). This is a great prayer to pray when you study the Bible. We only understand what is revealed by the Spirit.
Some of those around him are ‘bad neighbors’ who ‘maliciously gossip’ (v.23a, MSG). But God’s words are to him like ‘good neighbors’ (v.24, MSG). He writes, ‘I’m absorbed in pondering your wise counsel. Yes, your sayings on life are what give me delight; I listen to them as to good neighbours!’ (vv.23b–24, MSG).

Lord, give me courage to live as a stranger on earth. Help me to be consumed with longing for your word, to meditate on what you say. Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your word.

You can build power generating dams, railway lines, bridges tarmac roads, big buildings etc.
But if you can not build peace and harmony those structures will be destroyed and demolished in a day by the same people you worked for them.
If what you are doing now will not be consistently applies after your leadership then consider yourself useless.
If you are doing something today which will make somebody to admire you tomorrow then consider what you are doing is useless.
Any thing you are doing must be ruled by going concern concept. It must be applied by others through out the years to come.
What is the use if Dr John Pombe Magufuli is doing wonders, working very hard, controlling Government funds ect but over a sudden his successor comes and acts in a wrong way.
What is being done now should be put in our Constitution.
Basic needs of human being are.
Food.
Shelter.
Clothes.
These must be accessed directly and easily.
If you build a bridge and make somebody go hungry then that is not human.
 
Gwajima waging a losing battle. First hitting the sheep not necessarily infidelity and hardcore video evidence is everywhere on his blasphemous utterances against Catholicism and Islam. Gospel truth not libel for sure so Gwajima case must be thrown out for want of merits!
