the EXIT speech... LOVING ONE ANOTHER

This is the eact exerpt from the speech by Fred Allan Kichari, who was then the Chairman of the Lenana School SDA group, and was leaving office for his successor. it is a short but a heartfelt speech from a man moved by the need for there to be bonds of love in the church he was leaving behind. this are his words.

As i near the end of this long and sometimes tracherous walk with you as Chairman of the most respected, beloved special group of the Lenana School Seventh Day Adventist group... i just want to intimate to you that it has not been an easy journey, it has been many a times ridden with challenges and fears, impossibilities and rough rugged terrain, but in all this, one force remained constant, and that is the providence of the almighty God. i cannot take it For granted that he has led us through all the way.


You guys have been an inspiration to me, and most of what i have become has bee molded by most of your hands, just like the potter moulds and fashions his clay, but sadly, to my attention was brought this disturbing fact, one that would put to shame any group claiming to belong to God, and that is our love for one another seems absent. brothers, loving one another means being out there for your brother. you don't just sit there and watch your brother that you are in the same banner of faith with, going down and under with the wrong decisions. loving one another means sharing the word that has been preached to you, sharing the word the Good LORD has put in your mouth.... we need to exhibit the love to one another, loving with the love that keepeth no record of wrong...t he love that abideth in truth....the love of Jesus Christ.

bretheren, Be devoted  to one another  in brotherly love Honor one another above yourselves
Never be lacking in zeal Keep  your spiritual fervor.Keep your spiritual  fervor
Serving the Lord.Love  one another. Serve one another. Pray for each other Encourage one another. And build each other up.

As i leave, i desire that you people have the zeal to sing and to have fellowship with one another. singning elevates ones heart in preparation to have an encounter with God and to have a feel of true worship. fellowship encourages us to open up our hearts and to let go of the troubles of this world.... i desire to see agroup that respects the sanctuary... i desire to see the choir grow and testify to a dying world the love of a risen savior... to take to the ends of the world the three angels message with zeal and power..... brothers, i desire to see us all in heaven... but it all boils down to the individual... you and i, what decision have you made?? judgment is soon closing.... where is your stand? will you stand amid the perishing world, or will you stand safe with God, calling out your bretheren from Babylon...?? make the choice.

i leave you in peace.... may the Good LORD be your guide and your stay... till we meet again, if not here on earth, in the heavenly courts... is my prayer in Christs name. amen.
