What is stealing? - taking property from a
person without permission. What the Bible
says: “Let the one who steals steal no
more, rather, let him do hard work, doing
good work with his hands, so that he may
have something to share with someone in
need.” (Eph. 4:28) “Do not be misled….
Thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers
and extortioners will not inherit God’s
Kingdom.” (1 Cor. 6:9-10).

I acknowledge receipt of the Swahili New
Testament Bibles, and assure you that at these
crucial times I will put them to good use by
giving them to those who seek to know the
Truth. For it is the Truth that will set us free
from the bondage of sin, in readiness to be
with Christ in new Jerusalem.
Much as I understand the costs and expenses
attached to such a big parcel, also here
Handling Fees have been raised. Nevertheless
we have to soldier on in readiness for the
second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, as
time is running out owing to what is happening
around the world.
Though I am equally the same, sick and
ageing, all that I do on a daily basis is to
spread the good news to mankind, so as to
narrow the gap for the return of our Saviour
to come and replenish this sinful world. You
are always in my prayers, for you to continue
with this noble task. Sooner or later we will
be together in new Jerusalem.
I always wish you good health, together with
Sister Gwladys. We know that as true
believers, though we sleep in the Lord, we will
be raised and with Him for ever.
All the literature you sent me is used to
witness the Truth. Surely times are very fright-
ening. As I write this letter, one of my daugh-
ters phoned me from Lusaka capital city,
informing me about people rioting, because of
ritual murders of people. The four suspects
were found with human hearts and private
parts; where they sell these, I don’t know.
Earthquakes at Equador and Japan, where
lives are being lost; people drowning in seas
intending to cross over to Europe searching for
green pastures - all these are signs.
I have five grand-children, 3 girls and 2 boys,
whom I would have loved to have Sunday
School lessons, and toys if possible, plus 3 chil-
dren for our neighbour. I find it somehow
easier to expound the Bible because of
commentaries or foot-notes in the New Euro-
pean Version Bible.

I was very happy when you reminded me about
why you stopped sending me the Gospel News.
I really like the magazine, it has been
publishing articles that indeed have made me
what I am today in the Lord. It is therefore my
pleasure to show continued interest in the
magazine. For this reason I am here to submit
my contribution to the magazine and I will
continue to do so, God willingly. Below is my
article.
In a large house there are articles not only of
gold and silver, but also of wood and clay;
some are of noble purposes and some of
ignoble. (2 Timothy 2:20-21). If a man cleanses
himself from the latter, he will be an instru-
ment for noble purposes, made holy, useful to
the master and prepared to do good work.
It is up to us the way we want our Heavenly
Father to use us. Whether we want to be used
in the way we would be respected; to do good
work, or despised; to be used in bad ways. For
example, (Isaiah 43:16-17), God says, and it is
I who have created the destroyer to work
havoc (wide spread destruction/disorder or
confusion).
And Jesus also talked about the weeds.
(Matthew 13:24–30, 36–43). It is either we
belong to the sons of the kingdom, and shine
in the kingdom of our Father, or we will belong
to the sons of the evil one and be responsible
for all the mess and suffering we cause on our
brothers and sisters.
