Putting Christ at the Center of our Lives.

“For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ Acts 17:28.

We live in a generation where personal interests or selfishness is the norm but I believe that God is calling this generation to live for Christ and to put Christ at the center of everything we do. I believe its time to get back to loving the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength” which is the first and greatest command (Matt 22:37-38).

1 Peter 3:15 says, “But in your hearts set Christ apart [as holy—acknowledging Him, giving Him first place in your lives] as Lord. Always be ready to give a [logical] defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope and confident assurance [elicited by faith] that is within you, yet [do it] with gentleness and respect.” (AMP bible).

I pray that this generation will learn to give Jesus everything and make Him the center of all they do because when we put anything else above Jesus, it becomes idolatry. This generation must go beyond giving God a few hours a week and maybe a couple more on Sundays.

God wants us to be totally and not halfheartedly for Him. We are either in or out, hot or cold, against Him or for Him. There is no middle ground with God.
I believe during this lockdown and curfew season, God is seeking for our total dependence and undivided attention to love HIM and ENJOY forever. (Romans 8:28-39).
God would rather us be totally indifferent towards Him than halfheartedly for Him. The very least Christ deserves is the very best we can give him.

Christ is worth everything (our time, heart, strength, talent, money, and possessions). Is Christ at the center of everything we have and do? Let’s be the generation that says, “God, I will give you my all.” It’s all or nothing.

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12).

Pr. Moses Onyango & Sarah Onyango

WHEN GOD SHOWS UP!
Our God is Omnipresent. He is present everywhere at the same time (Ps 139:7-16).
But occasionally He will show up in a very unique and powerful way.
Whenever He shows up, we cannot be the same anymore. Whenever God shows up, He changes things & situations.
When He showed up in (1Kgs 17:8-16), to the widow & her son, He turned their last meal (what wasn't enough) to a lifetime meal (abundance).
Beloved, I pray for you and all yours during this lockdown season, for God to show up and something divine and spectacular must happen in Jesus Name!

You shall not die, but live,
And declare the works of the LORD. Ps 118:17. Amen!

Pastors Moses Onyango & Sarah Onyango

THE RISEN CHRIST, OUR HOPE.

12 Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.
14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.
15 Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise.
16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.
17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!
18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. 1 Corinthians 15.

Wishing y’all a Spirit filled Easter Season!

Pastors Moses Onyango & Sarah Onyango

[04/10/20]   IF SATAN AND HIS MEN HAD KNOWN.

Which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 1 Corinthians 2:8.

If Satan had known what he was doing when he crucified the Lord of glory, he would have never done it. He thought the crucifixion was his greatest victory, but it was actually his ultimate defeat.

Wishing y’all a blessed Good Friday and a victorious Easter Season in Jesus Name.

ASK THOSE WHO SAW THE REVIVAL OF 1930s,1970s AND 1980s, THEY WILL TELL YOU WHY WE ARE CRYING OVER THIS
"FIRE LESS NESS" WE ARE SEEING IN OUR GENERATION OF BELIEVERS.

John Knox prayed: "Lord, Give me Scotland or I die"...

St Patrick, a rugged believer that Brought even dead animals and trees back to life prayed: "God, Give me souls or give me nothing else"....

Brethren, The Hebrides revival prayed:" Lord, If you will not use us, please, kill us"...

The brethren from England who brought the Fire from Azusa Street revival gathered everyday under the terrible cold.

Their only prayer topic was: "Lord, give us men that will spread Your Fire in the streets of England".

During the Indonesia Revival, those hungry hearts were seen praying day and night: "Lord, The harvest is ripe... If it pleases You, please use us".

One prayer that was common during the days of William Seymour was: "Lord, this is another day that hell must lose men and women. Please, we are here use us".

Paul said:" Woe is me if I preach not the gospel"

Rachel said to her husband, Jacob: "Give me children or I die"

But unfortunately, our churches are filled today with people who are not ashamed of spiritual barrenness. We are asking "God give me money. God give me spouse. God give me visa".
Where do we see believers again that will be praying and fasting, and when you listen to them, you will be hearing:" Lord, let Your Fire fall in my community and let there be revival"?

When Paul encountered Christ, he fell and rose. What He asked was:" Lord, what will You have me do".
But today, when we fall under anointing, we stand to start expecting marriage proposals and visas and employment letters.
This generation of members in our churches have not had a genuine encounter with the Man of Calvary.
No generation has carried Bibles like us without opening it.
No generation is materially driven like ours and we expect the land to obey us.
Jesus said, pray to the Father that He brings His Kingdom on earth.

GOD help us to get it on time. Amen.
Let's build up our spiritual life cos its very necessary.
If u miss heaven u can never miss hell. Think about it. Hell isn't a pretty place.
Do the work of an evangelist now by sharing this message with all your contacts.
Have u ever wondered what would have happened if we treat the Holy Bible the way we treat our mobile phone?
And we really can't live without the BIBLE

1. I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from?
2. My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber;
4. indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5. The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6. the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7. The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life;
8. the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121:1-8‬

POSTPONEMENT OF THE “MAKE ROOM” EVENT 2020
We highly apologize for all inconveniences caused by this rather impromptu postponement. Meanwhile, we still continue to pray for your safety and the perfect health of your loved ones, our nation and the whole universe ((Psalms 91:3-4).).
Stay safe and may God bless you.

THE GREATEST INVESTMENT
What you need is just between you and prayer.
Prayer doesn’t need proof but practice.
Those who are on their knees have more and receive more than those who are on their toes.
In this season, investment your time in prayer. Let not technology replaced the place of God in our life but as a church let us pray.
Pr. Moses Onyango

And they said to Moses, “Your servants have taken a count of the men of war who are under our command, and not a man of us is missing.
Num 31:49.

Beloved family, friends and partners, the Corona Virus has taken the whole world hostage. People are on lockdown, thousands of people have died and many have been infected with the virus.
I pray for you, your family, and loved ones, that none will be a victim of this virus or none will be found missing in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen

The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.

Beloved, I believe you had a powerful family service today.
From my family alter I asked of the Lord for you and all yours;
that he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Ps 9:3-4.
God bless you. Let’s continue to launch deep in His presence on daily basis even during these 90days of Prayer, revival, & Divine Establishment. Is 59:19.

I’m amazed and so thankful for everyone who gave me their full support and love.
For those who stuck around, those who made phone calls, those who supported financially, physically & morally, those who sent condolences, those who attended funeral service at Rivers of Life Worship Centre Kampala, those who traveled long distances to come and attend Peter’s burial in Tororo amidst great fears of corona virus, those who prayed then and now - thank you.

15 Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” Exodus 33.

Child of God, let’s continue to seek more of His presence, and thus shall we be separated from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.

Don’t Miss 90days of Prayer, Revival, & Divine Establishment @ Rivers of Life Worship Centre Katwe, Kampala. The home of excellence. @ 6:00pm.

Bring your family and friends. God will do great and mighty things.

Asking for help is very hard. I would rather, that I keep my need as a secret and deal with it by myself and my God. Much as God created each man with a need for help from another person. He created Adam with a need for help from another person. “It is not good for man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him” (Genesis 2:18).
Even before sin came into the world, it has been God’s design for His people to give and receive help. No man nor mission can succeed in isolation without the help of other people.

Rivers Of life worship Centre is a non-denominational community-based church located in Katwe II Central Zone, Makindye division - Kampala.
The church is home to hundreds of people, many of whom are transformed wanainchi (ordinary citizens) who were members of notorious criminal gangs around the formally dreaded neighborhoods of Katwe, Kevina, Nsambya, in Makindye and the surrounding areas. As a community-based ministry, we are committed to partnering with the government, organizations, and all willing individuals to propel our communities to a higher social and economic status through various activities.

When the Lord led us to acquire plant a church Katwe (our ministry current location), there was a witchdoctor who had lived for decades on the piece of land which is adjacent to the land where our church sanctuary is. This witch had dedicated the land to the devil and his demons. Sometimes he became physical in casting his spells and he would not greet nor talk to anyone from our church. Most cases, he was physical in casting his spells, he run every morning and evening around the ring road where our church is, vowing that the church would utterly fail.

And here we are, commissioned by God to write a new address in this place. In 2015, during our annual “BORN TO FLY” conference, after powerful session of prayer and breaking satanic alter, he matched close to the front of the church sanctuary with evil objects and cast his spells there to try to fail what God was doing. But our God, being powerful, we raised our voices to heaven in prayers and God answered us by fire. In the period of 2 -3 weeks, the witchdoctor fell sick, he lost his evil power, lost his clients, and we saw bull dozers pull down his houses and being chased from the community.
It is this land which the landlord is selling to the Rivers of Life Ministries, and upon acquiring it, the ministry will use it to accommodate the ever-growing congregation, set up a rehabilitation center for the transformation of the various converts who drop out of criminal gangs and drug addicts, and raise children and youth facilities to cater for their place of fellowship and recreation.

Beloved friend, on behalf of Rivers of Life Ministries and on my own behalf, I ask you to help us “Make Room” through your prayers and financial generous giving.
