1:7). How can we know God then? God has
revealed himself to us through his own given
instructions – the Bible.
In the first chapter of Genesis verse 1 we
read: “In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth.” This is emphatic. We
can know God through things He has created.
Now because we are sinners, we might fail
to come to this wonderful knowledge. To
overcome this problem God has His own
messengers who are sent out to proclaim His
Name and wishes. Sometimes these messen-
gers are known as preachers or witnesses.
The preachers are aided by the spirit Word of
God Himself which is His Word - the Bible.
Read Mark 16:15-16. There we find Jesus’
instructions to the apostles: “And he said to
them: you are to go into all the world and
preach the gospel to the whole creation. He
that believes and is baptised shall be saved,
but he that disbelieves shall be condemned.”
So you can see that knowledge of God gives
responsibility. That is that believers, because
of their knowledge of God will be saved.
Hence disbelievers will be condemned.

I write to announce the death of my dear
elder brother, Friday Bicycle, who died
after a long illness lasting three years.
Comment: We do send our condolence to
Bro Thom. MH
“For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first:
Then we which are
alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
SALIMA | Bro Austin Nyurenda
I sincerely report to you all my fellow
Brothers, the demise of Brother Gamah who
we have laid to rest. He left a wife, two
children, and grand children.
I delivered the speech to the people who
attended the ceremony from the following
books; Genesis 2:7 (the origin of man),
Genesis 3:19 (the state of sin upon man),
Ecclesiastes 9:5-10 (the behaviour of dead
people) and 1 Corinthians 15:20-26 (the
resurrection of the mortal saints to judge-
ment after the last trumpet), that is the
hope of those who remain faithful to God
until death.
I am just finishing harvesting maize and
ground nuts. The rains were a bit favourable
here in Salima district this year, but in some
other areas it stopped while crops were flow-
ering, therefore they will experience hunger
situations towards the end of this year.
