Yesterday I started teaching on pursuing a deeper relationship with God. Jana nilianza kufundisha kuhusu kutafuta mahusiano ya ndani na Mungu. Pursuing a deeper relationship with God. kufuatilia kufukuzia mahusiano ya ndani kabisa na Mungu. Having a deep relationship with God. Kuwa yale mahusiano ya ndani na Mungu is not wish. Sio kitu ambacho unatamani tu. It is something that you need to pursue. Ni kitu ambacho unahitaji kukitafuta. There's an investment not financial but there's an investment that you have to do for you to enjoy a deeper relationship with. una uwekezaji unaotakiwa kufanya sio wa kifedha lakini ule wa kutaka kuwa mahusiano ya karibu na Mungu. You can't just wish and then in a blink of an eye you have a deeper relationship with God. Huwezi kutaka tu kutamani na kwa muda kidogo tu ukawa na mahusiano yale ya ndani na Mungu. There's a responsibility. Kuna kuna kuwajibika. several of them actually kuna uwajibikaji mwingi. You need to talk to God. Unahitaji kuongea na Mungu. You can't have a relationship to someone that you don't talk to. Huwezi kuwa na mahusiano kwa mtu ambaye huongei naye. You need to spend time in his presence. Unatakiwa kuwa na wakati wa kutosha kabisa katika uwepo wako. You also need to listen to him. Pia unahitaji kumsikiliza. You don't just build a relationship with someone by only talking to them. Huwezi kujenga mahusiano kwa mtu kwa kuongea naye tu. also need to listen to them. Lakini pia unatakiwa kuwasikiliza many marriages ndoa nyingi have been broken because people don't communicate zimevunjika kwa sababu watu hakuna mawasiliano kati yao. There's communication breakdown between the husband and wife. Kuna ukosefu wa mawasiliano kati ya mke na mume. And the relationship begins to deteriorate. na yale mahusiano yanaanza kuchoka kushuka chini because there's no communication kwa sababu hakuna mawasiliano. If you do not communicate with God, kama huwezi kuwa na mawasiliano na Mungu, you can talk to him. Huwezi kama huwezi kuongea naye in prayer and praise, katika maombi na kusifu, you can't listen to him. kama huwezi kumsikiliza and when he talks you don't understand you don't obey na anapoongea na wewe huelewi na hata huwezi kutii you can't have a deeper relationship with huwezi kuwa na yale mahusiano ya ndani kabisa na Mungu youl be in a church utakuwapo kanisan you think you are in a friendship with God uttafikiri uko na wewe ni rafiki wa Mungu but you are just familiar with him lakini ni kwa sababu yaani uko unamfahamu tu. You are not in the level where you have a relationship with him. Hauko kwenye kiwango ambacho una mahusiano naye.

Why would you have a relationship with God? A deep relationship. Kwa nini uwe na yale mahusiano ya ndani na Mungu? Because kwa sababu there are certain blessings. Kuna baraka. Kuna baadhi ya baraka are related. They are given only to those who are in a relationship with the giver. ambazo zina zimepewa na yule ambaye yuko kwenye mahusiano na mtoaji. There are certain things in my life. Kuna vitu katika maisha yangu. I can't give to anybody. Siwezi kumpatia yeyote. I can only give to my wife. Naweza nikampatia tu mke wangu. There are certain things in my life. Kuna baadhi ya vitu kwenye maisha yangu. I can only give to my children. Naweza nikawapatia tu watoto wangu. Because we have a deeper relationship with them. Kwa sababu tuna mahusiano ya ndani nao. There are certain things in my life. Kuna baadhi ya vitu kwenye maisha yangu. I can't tell anyone. Siwezi nikamwambia yeyote. But I tell my friends. Lakini nawaambia rafiki zangu. I tell those who are close to me. Nawaambia wale watu ambao wako karibu na [Muziki] mimi. It applies in relationship with God. Hiyo inatokea kwenye mahusiano yetu na Mungu. There are certain levels of advancement and progress. Kuna viwango fulani vya kuendelea na kusonga mbele. For God to allow you to get to those levels. Ili Mungu akuruhusu kufika kwenye hivyo viwango. Work on your relationship with him. Fanyia kazi mahusiano yako wewe na yeye. Trust comes because of relationship. Kuamini kunakuja kutokana na mahusiano. Yes, I said it right. Ndio nimesema sawa. If you are not in a good relationship with someone, Kama haupo kwenye mahusiano mazuri na mtu fulani and you choose to trust them na unachagua kuwaamini, it will be because you are foolish. Itakuwa ni kwa sababu wewe ni mpumbavu. Don't trust someone you don't know. Usimwamini mtu ambaye haumfahamu. It is simple as that. Ni rahisi hivyo tu. So trust is a product of good relationship. Kuamini ni madhawe ya mahusiano mazuri. Kuamini ya kuaminika ni madhawi ya mahusiano mazuri. So for God to entrust you with certain levels of blessing. Kwa hiyo ili Mungu akuamini kwa viwango fulani vya baraka pursue a relationship with him. Hebu fukuzia uhusiano wa ndani baina yako wewe na Mungu. Don't be satisfied by casual Christianity. Usiridhike na ule ukristo wa kawaida tu. No hapana. Strive to be in touch with God himself. Pambana ili uweze kuhusiana na Mungu moja kwa moja. Are we together children of God? Tuko pamoja wana wa Mungu. I pray ni maombi yangu that you will understand what I'm telling you. Kwamba ukaelewe kile ambacho ninawafundisha. Because there are many people. Kwa sababu kuna watu wengi who think if they can grab a scripture ambao wanadhania kwamba kama wanaweza kunyaka andiko they can force God to do something they want because they've grabbed a scripture somewhere. Wanaweza wakamsababisha Mungu afanye kitu wanachokihitaji kwa sababu tu wamelishika andiko fulani. You can't corner God. Hauwezi kumbananisha Mungu by squeezing him with a scripture when you are not in a relationship with him. Na kumbananisha na andiko tu wakati haupo kwenye mahusiano mazuri na yeye. He is not foolish. Yeye sio mpumbavu. He smarter than that. Yeye ana akili zaidi ya hapo. It doesn't mean you shouldn't pray with scriptures. Haimaanishi kwamba hupasi kuomba kwa maandiko. But scriptures are not witchcraft. Lakini maandiko sio uchawi. Scriptur maandiko they are the word of God. Ni neno la Mungu. So when you take a scripture and use it in prayer. Kwa hiyo unapochukua andiko na kulitumia kwenye maombi You are doing very well. Unafanya vyema sana. But also. Lakini pia take a scripture and use it to correct your life. Ah chukua andiko na uweze kurekebisha maisha yako. Not just one side. Sio upande mmoja tu. That's what people don't understand. Hicho ndicho ambacho watu hawaelewi. So as Kwa hiyo ndio maana matokeo yake There are many people are trying to squeeze God with his own scriptures. Kuna watu wengi ambao wanajaribu kumbananisha Mungu kwa maandiko yake. Thinking their prayers will be answered just because theyed a scripture. Wakifikiria kwamba maombi yao yataenda kujibiwa tu kwa sababu wametumia na maandiko. after they finish the prayer session and coating a lot of scriptures and squeeze God Lord you said this Lord you said that baada ya kumaliza kipindi cha maombi kwa maandiko fulani na kumbananisha Mungu kwamba Mungu ulisema hiki na hiki they don't care about God's instruction in their own lives hawajali maelekezo ya Mungu kwenye maisha ya kwao binafsi live anyh wataishi wanavyotaka doesn't work that way my haiendi namna hiyo rafiki yangu C a thous scriptures for one prayer request. We nuku maand andiko hata 1000 kwa ombi moja. But if you are not in a good relationship with God. Lakini kama hauko kwenye mahusiano mazuri na Mungu. And you don't care about it. Na wewe wala haujali. But another scripture that corrects you, you are rejecting it. Lakini kuna andiko lingine ambalo linakurekebisha na unalikataa. You are only looking for the scripture that will cause you to pray for money. Wewe unatafuta tu yale maandiko ambayo yatakuelekeza wewe kuomba kwa ajili ya pesa. The ones that are rebuking you, you don't like them. Yale yanayokukemea wewe hauyapendi. You are not in a good relationship with God. haupo kwenye mahusiano mazuri na Mungu. Kwa hiyo you may use a thousand scriptures asking for something and you don't get it. Unaweza ukatumia hata maandiko kuomba juu ya jambo fulani na usilipate. Am I speaking to someone? Je nasema na mtu hapa? Somebody shout haleluya piga kelele haleluya diger. Hebu chimba ndani zaidi. Strive for a true relationship with God. pambania uhusiano wa kweli wa kwako wewe na Mungu where you don't have to be pushed ambapo hautahitaji [Muziki] kusukumwa. I am in a relationship with my wife. Nipo kwenye mahusiano na mke wangu. If I have money and she gives me a call. kama pesa na akinipigia simu please when you are coming home tafadhali unaporejea nyumbani pass by this place and that place pita mahali fulani bring me this and that naomba uniletee kitu fulan I feel happy doing it because we are in a relationship najisikia vizuri kufanya hivyo kwa sababu tuko kwenye mahusian that's not for every woman hiyo sio kwa kila mwanamk for hiyo ni maalum kwa ajili [Muziki] yake there are certain blessings kuna baadhi ya baraka they are not for every Christian sio za kila [Muziki] mkristo they are for those who are in a deeper relationship with him zimewekwa kwa ajili ya wale ambao wako kwenye mahusiano ya ndani pamoja na Mungu some are for every Christian baraka zingine ni kwa kila mkrist wants us alive wants to protect us mungu anataka tuwe ha kwa hiyo anat ulinda. But if you want those extra deeper blessings, Lakini kama unataka zile baraka za ziada na za ndani kabisa digeper. Chimba ndani zaidi. Tell your neighbor digiper. Mwambie jirani yako chimba ndani zaidi. Dig deeper. Chimba ndani zaidi. Somebody shout hallelujah. piga kelele haleluya one more thing we want to pray for today jambo moja zaidi ambalo tunataka tuombe kwalo usiku wa leo it is the issue of personal disciplin ni issue ya nidhambi [Muziki] nafsi when we talk of personal discipline tunapozungumzia nidhamu binafsi is The ability to manage yourself ni uwezo wa kujisimamia wewe mwenyewe and do the right things at the right time na kufanya mambo sahihi kwa wakati sahihi with consistence ukiwa na uendelevu avoiding those things that are not necessary. Ukiepuka yale mambo ambayo sio ya muhimu. Being able to set your priorities and are there to them. Ukiwa na uwezo wa kuweka vipa mbele vyako na kuvisamia. The ability to stop yourself from things that are not useful in your life. Uwezo wa kujizuia mwenyewe kutoka kwenye mambo ambayo hayana faida kwenye maisha yako. Even if they sound good when you do them. Hata kama yatakuwa yanaonekana mazuri unapokuwa unayafanya. Even if they taste well I mean sweet when you taste them. Hata kama ni mazuri na yanavutia unapoyajaribu. But if you know they are useless. Lakini kama unajua hayana thamani, the temptation to go after them is there. Ile shauku ya kuyafukuzia ipo pale. But you can say no. Lakini unaweza kusema hapana. Without anybody stopping you. Bila mtu [Muziki] kukuzuia. The ability to do those hard things. Uwezo wa kuyafanya yale mambo magumu consistently kwa uendelevu. Even if you are not comfortable. Hata pale ambapo mazingira yanakuwa. Lakini unajua kabisa napaswa kufanya hivi ili niende mbele. You know that you have to do that for you to grow. Unajua kabisa unapaswa kufanya hivyo ili uweze kukuwa. Even ifs uncomfortable. Hata kama mazingira yasipokuwa rahisi. But if you know this is the way that will help me to grow. Lakini kama unajua kwamba hii ndio njia itakayonisaidia ili mimi niku These are the practices that will help me to expand. Haya ndio mambo yatakayonifanya ili mimi niweze kutanuka. These are the attitudes that I need for my benefit. Hizi ndizo tabia ambazo nazihitaji kwa ajili ya faida yako. You force yourself to do them. Unajilazimisha mwenyewe kufanya. Even if it will cause you some pain. Hata kama itakugharimu maumivu. Even if it will cause you some inconveniences. Hata kama itakugharimu mazingira kuwa sio rahisi. You force yourself to do them. Unajilazimisha mwenyewe ili kufanya. Over and over and over again. Mara na mara na mara tena. Until they become part of your daily life. Mpaka mambo hayo yanakuwa ni sehemu ya maisha yako ya. That's the kind of discipline I'm talking about. ndio aina ya nidhamu ninayoizungumzia self discipline nidhamu binafsi personal discipline nidhamu binafsi because there's another discipline kwa sababu kuna nidhamu nyingine that someone doesn't discipline himself ambayo mtu hajinidhamishi mwenyewe. He has to be disciplined by an outer force anapaswa kunidhamishwa na nguvu ya nje. Some people kuna baadhi ya watu will only follow discipline watafuata tu watajinidhamisha tu if there's judgment coming. kama kuna hukumu inakuja mbele but if they know they cannot be caught lakini kama wanajua hauwezi kukamatwa they will not follow discipline. Hawatafuatisha ile nidhamu. Some people kuna baadhi ya watu they have to be caned wanapaswa kuadhibiwa so that they can be disciplined. Ili waweze kuwa na nidhamu. That is not person that is not selfdcipline hiyo sio nidhamu binafsi. That is discipline by force. Hiyo ni nidhamu kwa kudhurutishwa in the walk with God. katika kutembea na Mungu itary discipline that brings you reward ni ile nidhamu ya iari ndio inayoleta dhawabu incedine discipline ya kulazimishwa does not bring you reward haikuletei dhawabu saves you from calamity inakuokoa tu na majanga then you are the same person kisha unabaki mtu yule yule voluntary disciplin nidhamu ya ihari it brings you reward inakuletea dhawabu Choose which kind of discipline you want to rule over your life. Chagua ni nidhamu ipi unataka ikutawale wewe. If there are certain things you want to achieve in life, kama kuna mambo fulani unataka kuyatimiliza kwenye maisha, whether spiritual, financial or anyhow academically, yao ya kiroho au ya kifedha, namna yoyote hata kitaaluma in sports au kwenye michezo, discipline is important. Nidhamu ni kitu cha muhimu sana. I've seen many people with talents. Nimeona watu wengi sana wenye vipawa. But they cannot develop their talents. Lakini hawezi kuviendeleza vipawa vyao. Because transforming that talents until it gives you benefit. Kwa sababu kubadilisha hivyo vipawa mpaka vikuletee faida. It requires a certain discipline. Vinahitaji nidhamu fulani. So they have talents. Kwa hiyo wana vipawa vipaji. But it's not giving them much. Lakini hivyo vipaji havwaletei faida sana. Because they failed to discipline themselves. Kwa sababu wameshindwa kujinhamisha. And sharpen that talent. na kukinoa hicho kipaji thatent fruits ili kwamba sasa hicho kipawa akiwadhalie matunda they don't have that discipline hawana hiyo nidhamu when they want to learn piano wanapotaka kujifunza kinanda press a few button wanabonyeza tufeye kadhaa 10 seconds dakika 10 second they say today is enough na wanasema leo zoezi lazima start watching a movie wanaanza kutazama that movie will not teach you to play keyboard. Hiyo movie haitakufundisha kucheza kinanda. You have to be consistent. Unapaswa uwe na jambo endelevu. I've seen young people say I want to be a footballer. Nimeona vijana ambao wanasema nataka niwe mwana mcheza mpira. When you look at their physic ukiangalia mwili wao they can be. Wanaweza kuwa wacheza mpira. Can be. Wanaweza kuwa wacheza mpira. But the problem is Lakini tatizo ni they practice once a week. Wanafanya mazoezi mara moja kwa week. You can't be like Ronaldo by practicing once a week. Hauwezi kufikia viwango vya Ronaldo kwa kufanya mazoezi mara moja kwa week. You have to discipline yourself. Unapaswa kujinidhamisha. From the way you eat, the way you sleep, everything. Ile namna unakula, namna unalala na kila kitu. Discipline nidhamu can cause you to enjoy life. Inaweza kusababisha uweze kufurahia maisha. Discipline nidhamu. Lack of discipline kukosa nidhamu. Can cause you to regret. Kunaweza kukakufanya uwe na majuto. Have you ever heard people say I wish I knew long time ago? Haujawahi kusikia watu wanasema ninatamani ningejua kabla. They are regretting because of lack of discipline. Wanajutia kwa kukosa [Muziki] nidhamu. Have you ever heard people say practice makes perfect? Hawajawahi kuwaskia watu wakisema kwamba kufanya mazoezi kunakufanya uwe bora. It is because Ni kwa sababu if you want to be perfect kama unataka kuwa bora, you have to discipline yourself. unapaswa ujinidhamishe mwenyewe practic ukiendelea kufanya mazoezi kufanya mazoezi until mpaka your performance is perfected unakuwa uko bora kabisa 1 Corinthians 9: 20 4 downward Wakorintho W K9 kuendelea mbele. 1 Corinthians chapter 9: 24 downward. Wakorintho W K9 kuanzia mari wa 24 na kuendelea chini. Do you not know that those who run in a race or run but one receives prize run in such a way that you may obtain it? Je hamjui ya kuwa wale wasindanao kwa kupiga mbio hupiga mbio wote lakini apokeaye tuzo ni mmoja. Pigeni mbio namna hiyo ili mpate. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown but we for an imperishable crown. Mstari wa 25. Na kila ashindanaye katika michezo hujizuia katika yote. Basi hao hufanya hivyo kusudi wapokee taji iharibikayo bali sisi tupokee taji isiyoharibika. We repeat verse 25. Tunarudia mstari wa 25. Everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Na kila ashindanaye katika michezo hujizuia katika yote. Is all things. Hujizuia katika yote. Discipline that is discipline. Nidhamu. Hiyo ni nidhamu. In other words, kwa maneno mengine, he disciplines himself in all things. Anajinidhamisha mwenyewe katika mambo yote. In order to get that price. Ili aweze kupata hiyo tuzo. Now let's go to verse 26. Sasa twende mstari wa 26. Therefore I run th not with uncertainty. Thus I fight not as one who beats the air. Hata mimi napiga mbio vivyo hivyo. Si kama asitae. Napigana ngumi vivyo hivyo si kama apigaye hewa. This is where I tell people. Hii ndio maana nawaambia watu boxing isondi ipo kwenye biblia. But football is not there my friend. Lakini mpira wa miguu haupo kwenye read it for yourself. So I welcome you to be a fan of boxing. Kwa hiyo nakukaribisha uwe mpenzi wa ndondi. Eh I fight not as one who beats the air. Napigana ngumi vivyo hivyo si kama apigaye hewa. In other words, I'm not just doing shadow boxing. Kwa maneno mengine si kwamba ninapiga tu ngumi hewa. I'm beating someone. Ninampiga mtu. I like that verse. Verse 27 mstari. Mstari wa 27. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection. Less when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. Bali nautesa mwili wangu na kuutumikiza isiwe ni kisa kuwahubiria wengine mwenyewe niwe mtu wa kukataliwa. Discipline is painful. nidhamu ina maumivu and the biggest enemy to disciplined life is our flesh. Na adui mkubwa wa maisha ya nidhamu kwenye maisha yetu ni miili yetu wenyewe the flesh. Mwili a schedule to read the Bible. Unapokuwa na ratiba ya kusoma Biblia they tell you, "Oh, have you seen the football schedule?" Wanakuambia eh hujaona ratiba ya mpira. Manchester today is playing with Liverpool. Manchester leo wanakipiga na Liverpool. You say he? Unasema he and you postpon reading the Bible. Na unahahirisha kusoma Biblia. You lacked discipline. Umekosa nidhamu. I told you I love I love to watch boxing. Niliwaambia kwamba ninapenda sana kutazama ndondi. But if the schedule of I don't know fighting duva collides with anything that is happening in the church. Lakini ikitokea kwamba kuna ndondi kati ya Usik na Duva na kuna ratiba kanisani I not watch it. Sitaitazama hiyo [Muziki] mechi. And when I'm very busy. Na ninapokuwa nimebanana sana na ratiba. As much as I like watching boxing. Kwa kadri ninavyopenda kutazama ndondi sometimes wakati mwingine it's people who tell me ni watu ndio wananiambia do you know so and so are fighting today. Unajua fulani na fulani wanakichapa leo. It simply means kiufupi inamaanisha that is an entertainment. Hiyo ni kiburudisho. I can't put give it a priority. Siwezi nikakipa kipao mbele no hapana. The flesh mwili. The flesh mwili demands over entertainment. unatamani sana viburudisho. It demands too much entertainments unfairly. Unataka sana burudani pasipo na mlinganyo. [Muziki] I used to tell my children and I don't know whether they remember. Nilikuwanga nikiwaambia watoto wangu sidhani kama wanakumbuka. Entertainment burudani is supposed to be a reward after you've achieved something. inapaswa kuwa ni dhawabu baada ya kutimiliza jambo fulani. Maybe there is a piece of work you were doing, you are working hard. Labda kuna kipande cha kazi ulikuwa unakifanya na ulikuwa unafanya kwa bidii. And when you finish na ukimaliza, you want to kuupa mwili pole. Unakuwa unataka kuupa mwili pole. But now people. Sasa watu they want to entertain the flesh. They want kuupa mwili pole even when the mwili has not worked anything. wanataka kuuburudisha mwili hata ambapo mwili wanakuwa hawajaudulubisha kwa chochote. Don't overtain entertain your flesh. Usi sana mwili wako kupata burudani. Where it has to work, let your flesh work. Pale ambapo mwili wako unapaswa kufanya kazi, wache ufanye kazi. Discipline yourself. Jinidhamishe wewe mwenyewe. Is there anything you can't do? Je kuna jambo lolote huwezi kulifanya? By advice to you that it can be done. Ushauri wangu kwako ni kwamba jambo hilo linaweza kufanya chochote unachotaka kufanya ni kujinidhamisha and to practice it. Na kuanza kufanyia mazoezi. You must have enough discipline to achieve your goals. Unapaswa kuwa na nidhamu ya kutosha ili kutimiliza malengo yako. Kuna baadhi ya watu themselves only one week wanajidhamisha tu kwa wiki moja. Now people study whatever you want to learn for several years. Sasa watu wanasomea chochote ambacho unataka kujifunza kwa miaka kadha. And you don't want to you want to get it in one week. Na wewe unataka tu utimilize hilo jambo kwa wiki moja kwenda haiendi namna hiyo. Do you remember when you used to go to school? Unakumbuka kipindi kile ukiwa unaenda shuleni every day kila siku waking up ukiamka whether it is hot cold or it's raining kuwe na jot baridi au mvua inanyesha you go to school unaenda shule otherwise today hata hivo vinginevyo leo you be listed among the illiterate people ukikua unesabika katika wale watu ambao hawajasoma who can't read and write ambao hawezi kusoma wala kuandika That was discipline. Hiyo ilikuwa ni nidhamu. You went to college. Ulienda chuo. I've seen people. Nimeona watu They prepare themselves for examinations. Wanajiandaa kwa ajili ya mtihani. And they don't want to sleep. Na hawataki kulala. They put their legs in water. Wanazhamisha miguu yao kwenye maji. Cold water so that they can't sleep while they are studying. Maji ya baridi ili wasiweze kusinzia wakati wakisoma. They are doing everything. wanafanya kila kitu because there's a priz kwa sababu kuna dhawabu the problem with many believers, tatizo la waumini wengi, we want free prizes. Tunataka tuzo za bure bure. I told you. niliwaambia in kwenye mfumo wa utoaji katika ulimwengu wa roho in kwenye mfumo wa utoaji wa mungu in his supply system kwenye mfumo wake wa upaj kuna aina mbili are things that he gives as a gift kuna vitu anavitoa kama zawadi and there are things that he gives as a reward a priz lakini kuna vitu anavitoa kama dhawabu au tuz Now what people don't understand Sasa kile ambacho watu hawakielewi most of the things that we desire in life vitu vingi ambavyo tunavitamani kwenye maisha they are actually prizes vinakuwa ni dhawabu they are rewards ni tuzo. [Muziki] But we want

Them free. Lakini tunakuwa tunavitaka bure bure, without any discipline, bila kuwa na nidhamu. [Muziki] Yoyote. Greatness, ukuu, comes with the price of discipline. Unakuja na gharama ya nidhamu. A heavy price tag. Gharama kubwa sana.

If you are not willing to be disciplined, kama hauko tayari kujinidhamisha, you are unsubscribing from the club of the successful. Unakuwa umejiondoa kwenye club ya watu wanaofanikiwa. Those who are planning to succeed, hear me very well. Wale mnaopanga kufanikiwa, nisikilize kwa makini. From today, kuanzia leo, pursue discipline, hebu fukuzia nidhamu, self-discipline, nidhamu binafsi, the ability to supervise yourself, uwezo wa kujisimamia wewe mwenyewe. You begin to pursue something, utaanza kufukuzia kufuatilia jambo, until you get it, na unalifuatilia hilo jambo mpaka unalipata. You begin to save money for something, unaanza kutunza pesa kwa ajili ya jambo fulani. You save until you do what you want to do, unatunza hizo pesa mpaka ukamilishe kile unachotaka. [Muziki]

There are many things we desire in life. Kuna vitu vingi sana tunavitamani maishani, but you don't have to have all of them at once. Lakini hatupasi tu kuvipata hivyo vitu vyote kwa mara moja. Refrain from those things that are not necessary at this level where you are. Usiche kwa hivyo vitu ambavyo sio vya muhimu kwa kiwango hiki ambacho uko sasa. You may feel pain, unaweza ukahisi maumivu. Others will tantalize you, wengine watakulingishia, and you feel, you feel it, na unapata hilo, but you keep telling yourself, lakini unaendelea kujiambia, no way, no way, no way, hakuna namna, I'm not buying it, siendani na hiyo kitu.

Are we together, children of God? Tuko pamoja, wana wa Mungu? People say, I don't know how to pray. Watu wanasema, hata sijui namna gani niombe. I wish I could pray in my life. Natamani ningeweza kuomba maishani mwangu. Prayer doesn't come when you are eating pilau. Maombi hayatidiliki tu wakati unatupia pilau. You wish to pray. Unatamani kuomba. While you watching every TV program. Wakati program zote za runinga wewe unazitazama. When they talk about this series, you have comments because you watch it. Wakizungumzia series fulani, na wewe unaweza kutupia comment pale kwa sababu una taarifa nayo. They talk about Sultan, you have comments. Wakizungumzia Sultani, wewe uko pale una. And you know how it ended last night. Na unajua kabisa jana iliishiaje? You can even predict what is going to happen. Unaweza hata ukatabiri ni nini kitaenda kutokea. They talk about Chumong, you are there. Wakizungumzia Chumong, na wewe uko pale. Everything, kila kitu. You know all the football players in the world. Unawajua wacheza mpira wote ulimwenguni? Are you a football club manager? Je, wewe ni meneja wa mpira wa miguu? You don't know one verse in the Bible. Haujui mstari hata mmoja kwenye Biblia. You don't know one verse. You don't know, hauji mstari mmoja. And you know 56 football players, their name, where they come from, how many goals they've scored so far, they moved from which clubs. Eh, na unawajua wacheza mpira 56, wanatokea wapi? Wanatokea mahali gani? Na wamefunga magoli mangapi katika msimu? Are you a journalist? Je, wewe ni mwanawana mwandishi wa habari?

Discipline yourself. Jinidhamishe. Save time for the more important things in your life. Hebu tenga muda kwa mambo ya muhimu kwenye maisha yako. It is painful. Ni maumivu. The body does it like discipline. This body, mwili hautaki nidhamu. Huu mwili, you have to force it. Unapaswa ulazimishe. The Swahili Bible says, kuutiisha mwili. Biblia ya kiswahili inasema kuutiisha mwili. There are some versions that say, kuutesa mwili. Kuna baadhi ya toleo zinasema kuutesa mwili. What they are actually saying, kwa sababu mwili hautaki, ni dha leta na upate hayo maumezi. What is right must be followed. Lakini kile ambacho ni sahihi lazima kifuatishe. That has to be a philosophy in your life if you want to succeed. Hiyo ni iwe falsafa kwenye maisha yako kama unataka kufanikiwa.

I wish I was a Bible reader. Oh my God. Natamani ningekuwa ni msomaji Biblia. Eh Mungu wangu. You can't read the Bible. By wishing, hawezi kusoma bibilia kwa kutamani, you become a bible reader by beginning to read the bible, unakuwa msoma biblia kwa kwanza kusoma biblia, and I read the bible, na nilisoma bibilia, but I've not seen anywhere, nimesoma bibilia lakini sijaona mahala popote. Where they say the gift of reading the bible, ah zawadi au karama ya kusoma biblia, there are gifts of healings. Kuna karama za uponyaji. Of faith, karama za imani, gifts of miracles, karama za miujiza. But I've never read anywhere someone has the gift of reading the Bible. Lakini sijawahi kusoma sehemu hata moja kwamba mtu ana karama ya usomaji wa biblia. It is discipline, ni nidhamu. You force yourself. Unajilazimisha, until you come to a point, mpaka unafikia mahala. Where it is part of your life, inakuwa ni sehemu. Am I speaking to someone out there? Je, nasema na mtu mmoja hapo? Somebody say, I hear you pastor, moja nakusikia mchungaji. Stand up where you are, simama mahala ulipo. It is time now, ni wakati sasa. You begin to pursue discipline, uanze kufukuzia nidhamu. Pursue discipline, fukuzia nidhamu. Pursue discipline, fukuzia nidhamu. [Muziki] Tomorrow we continue with this. Kesho tutaendelea na somo hili. Somebody shout hallelujah. Pigia kelele hallelujah. Lift up your right hand. Inua mkono wako wa kuume. Repeat this prayer from the bottom of your heart. Rudia haya maombi kutoka katika kilindi cha moyo wako. And say, oh dear Lord. Sema, eh baba mwema. I thank you. Nakushukuru. I've lived my life so far. Nimeishi maisha yangu mpaka sasa. And there's a lot of disorders. Na kuna mambo mengi hayako sawa. But I change my mind now. Lakini nabadilisha mtazamo wangu sasa. I pray, Lord. Ninaomba eh Bwana, help me to be disciplined. Nisaidie niwe na nidhamu. Give me the ability. Nipatie uwezo. To refuse. Niweze kukataa. When I'm supposed to refuse. Pale ambapo napaswa kukataa. Give me the ability. Nipe uwezo. To go forward. Ni kusonga mbele, and do. Na kufanya, what I'm supposed to do. Kile napaswa kufanya. Lord, nisaidie eh Bwana, I refuse, ninakataa, to live undisciplined life, kuishi maisha ambayo hayana nidhamu, disordered life, maisha ambayo hayana mpangilio, in the name of Jesus, katika jina la Yesu. I refuse, ninakataa, confusion in life, kuchanganyikiwa kwenye maisha, me Lord, nisaidie Bwana, give me the will, nipatie iari, and give me the ability, na nipe uweza, in Jesus name, katika na kila mmoja aseme amen. Give a huge hand clap to the Lord, Pigie Bwana Yesu makofi makubwa.

You can do better than that club. Mention just a few areas that are problematic for people to be disciplined. Nitataja maeneo machache ambayo ni shida sana yanafanya watu wasiwe na nidhamu. And we will be praying. Na tutakuwa tukiomba accordingly, kulingana au sawia. We will be praying accordingly. Tutakuwa tunaomba sawasawa. Praise the name of the Lord. Jina la Bwana lisifiwe. But as for now, Lakini kwa sasa, don't just throw down the other things that I'm teaching you. Usiyaweke tu kando yale mambo mengine hapo nakufundisha. Pursue a relationship with God. Wewe fukuzia uhusiano wako na Mungu. And discipline, na ujinidhamishe. Discipline, nidhamu, will help you. Itakusaidia, to build a stronger relationship with God. Itakusaidia kutengeneza mahusiano ya ndani kabisa na Mungu. There are certain things, kwa sababu kuna baadhi ya vitu, God wants us to do, Mungu anataka tuvifanye kila siku, but we lack the discipline to do them, lakini tunakosa nidhamu ya kuyafanya, na matokeo yake, we affect our relationship with him, tunaathiri mahusiano yetu na mungu. There are certain temptations, kuna vishawishi fulani, that will negatively affect your relationship with God, ambavyo kwa ubaya ambayo vitaathiri maisha mahusiano yako wewe na Mungu. But if you are able to monitor yourself, lakini kama ukiweza kujisimamia mwenyewe, you able to control yourself, ukiweza kuji zuia mwenyewe, they cannot pull you back, hivyo vitu haviwezi kukuvuta nyuma.
