Up to there can you see the hand of God in this district?

Now what is the biblical meaning of 7?

Biblically, Number 7 is the foundation of the word of God, it is a number of perfection and completeness.

Therefore, this church foundation will be the word of God, like the church of Berea.

Acts 17:11 The people of Berea were more open-minded than the people of Thessalonica. They were very willing to receive God's message, and every day they carefully examined the Scriptures to see if what Paul said was true.

Foundation: is very important since it is the base where everything is built upon.

In 2019, I decided to walk through the bible from genesis to revelation, and one thing I noted is this, the heart of God is on the needy, widows, orphans and the downtrodden, if you touch the lives of those, you put a smile on the face of God-Just imagine what God can do back after you put a smile on his face.

By the way you can’t take care of the needy without love.

So, what is love? Love is a verb/Action, telling someone I love you, is not good enough, let your action show.

Definition of love according to the bible

 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

In other words, the love demonstrated by Christ’s followers will be a convincing proof for non-believers that the message of the gospel is uniquely true.

My prayer is that people will join Shalom church not because of the sound of loud music buy because of love.

Your fellow servant in Christ

Humphrey Kimathi
