Prayer holds the key to great, remarkable and uncommon miracles - to occur in your life, your family and your world.

When we pray, we do not and we cannot get God to change His mind. Our Almighty God is "changeless". Prayer doesn't change God. It changes us. It transforms us to be who God desires us to be.

Prayer, worship and praise! Bask in them. Make them your habit. You will be set apart for greatness! Glory! Hallelujah!

Pray without ceasing! Pray with faith.

As this beautiful quote from the Urantia Book states:

The persistent preaching of this gospel of the kingdom will some day bring to all nations a new and unbelievable liberation, intellectual freedom, and religious liberty. 178:1.9 
 

"The persistent preaching of this gospel of the kingdom will some day bring to all nations a new and unbelievable liberation, intellectual freedom, and religious liberty. This statement holds the transformative power of the gospel, pointing to a future where all individuals are liberated—intellectually, spiritually, and socially. Let’s go deeper into each aspect, exploring how these teachings relate to real-world scenarios that highlight the ongoing struggle for liberation.

1. Persistent Preaching as a Catalyst for Change

The phrase "persistent preaching" points at the importance of unwavering dedication to spreading the gospel's message. In today’s world, we often see this commitment mirrored in various social movements. For instance, consider the civil rights leaders inspired by spiritual convictions, such as Martin Luther King Jr. His relentless advocacy for equality stemmed from a deep faith and understanding of the gospel's principles. King’s famous "I Have a Dream" speech encapsulated a vision of a society where individuals are judged not by their skin color but by their character.

Imagine a community coming together for a vigil, where speakers share not only their pain but also their aspirations for a world rooted in justice and equality. This gathering, reflecting the persistent preachings of love and unity, becomes a beacon of hope, inspiring future generations to continue the fight for fairness and dignity.

2. Unbelievable Liberation

The idea of "unbelievable liberation" speaks to a radical transformation that can occur in societies once they embrace the gospel’s teachings. Liberation is not just a political or social shift; it is an inner awakening that allows individuals to break free from fear, hatred, and prejudice.

Imagine a small village plagued by years of conflict, where people can’t envision a peaceful future. A local leader, inspired by the gospel, begins to preach forgiveness and reconciliation. Over time, former enemies come together to share their stories, realizing that their humanity binds them more than their differences divide. This process of healing and liberation ignites change, leading to a thriving community that champions peace.

3. Intellectual Freedom

Intellectual freedom is a cornerstone of progress. The gospel calls for an unshackling of the mind, inviting individuals to pursue knowledge and truth without restrictions. In our contemporary world, we often see this struggle, particularly in areas where censorship and propaganda dominate.

Consider students in a country where discussing certain topics can lead to severe consequences. These students, inspired by teachings of love and understanding, form underground study groups to explore ideas freely. They exchange books and debate philosophies, creating a safe haven for intellectual discourse. In this environment, minds open, and they begin to envision a society where truth reigns over misinformation.

4. Religious Liberty

Lastly, the teaching on religious liberty embodies the essence of coexistence and respect for diversity. This gospel principle champions the right of individuals to practice their beliefs without fear of persecution or intolerance. In a world that often experiences religious strife, this teaching is more relevant than ever.

Picture a multi-religious festival in a town that celebrates various faiths. People from different backgrounds come together, sharing their traditions, music, and stories over food and laughter. Inspired by the gospel's call for unity, this event fosters understanding, breaking down barriers and creating friendships across religious lines. Through such openness, communities can thrive, grounded in the belief that diversity enriches society.

Conclusion

The quote from the Urantia Book serves as a powerful reminder of the gospel’s potential to transform lives and societies. Through persistent PREACHING, we can inspire unbelievable LIBERATION, INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM, and RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. These teachings urge me and you to be agents of change, embodying the principles of love, tolerance, and understanding.

By sharing stories of hope and resilience, we can continue to advocate for a future where every individual enjoys the fullness of life, the liberation promised by the gospel. Each of us has a role to play in this journey, and every action taken towards justice and freedom brings us closer to realizing this vision for a united and compassionate world.

[Part 4 of the Urantia Book is a very detailed year-by-year account of the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ. Discover the "Missing Years" there!]

But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding." - Job 32:8, King James Bible

"Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." - Ecclesiastes 12:7, King James Bible

The "spirit in man" is "God in man" - the spirit of God and from God the Father that is in a human being. It is this spirit that Jesus referred to when he said, "men die searching for the very God who lives within them."
The Urantia Book calls this spirit, "Thought Adjuster", "Mystery Monitor", "Thought Changer", "Thought Controller", "Divine Presence", "Pilot Light", "Fragment of God".

Julius Gumisiriza - They Call Us The Elderly

They call us "The Elderly"
We were born in the 40-50-60’s.
We grew up in the 50-60-70's.
We studied in the 60-70-80's.
We were dating in the 70-80-90's.
We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90's.
We venture into the 80-90’s.
We stabilize in the 2000’s.
We got wiser in the 2010’s.
And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.

Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades...
TWO different centuries...
TWO different millennia...
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long–distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world.
We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App.
From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, colour TV and then to 3D HD TV.
We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix.
We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans.
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.
We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, petrol or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric.

Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had!
They could describe us as "Xennials," people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We've kind of "Seen-It-All"!
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE."
A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!

Xennials (pronounced ZEEN-ee-als or EX-ennials) are a micro-generation born on the cusp of Generation X and the Millennial generation, generally defined as those born between 1977 and 1983. They are characterized by having had an "analog childhood" and a "digital adulthood".

Ubuntu in Action
I am excited to share the substantial completion of our double story Ubuntu Block project. This is the biggest project we have undertaken at the school so far. The block will serve our secondary learners and will accommodate up to 320 students. Just a few months ago, this was only a dream—and now it has become a reality.

The emergence of this project is a true embodiment of Ubuntu—how many hands came together to build this marvel. From the architects, the parents, local leaders, and the experts who stepped in to guide us through the technical challenges—this has been a collective effort. 
I’m also deeply grateful to my beloved wife, Sharleen Bwakura Machipisa, for being a steady anchor through it all. This project came with its fair share of challenges—delays, frustrations, and uncertainties. We had to pray.

The journey of Chipochashe has been nothing short of a miracle. I am always humbled by how it all began in a small farm brick house—and how far we have come. I’m reminded of the scripture: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This school is truly a gift to the community, and we are honored  to serve as its stewards 

Lastly, and most importantly, I want to thank Compassionate Las Vegas and my brother Pato Banton  for showing love, compassion, and Ubuntu—believing in us and  continuing to invest in the future of the children in Zhanje village.
To God alone all the Glory belongs.

Pato Banton's role in the project

Pato Banton's role in the Ubuntu Block project appears to be a supportive one, as Moses Machipisa, the author of the Facebook post, expresses gratitude towards him for showing love, compassion, and Ubuntu, believing in the project and investing in the future of children in Zhanje village. Specifically, Pato Banton is mentioned alongside Compassionate Las Vegas as someone who has shown significant support for the project. His background as a Grammy-nominated reggae legend, minister, and goodwill ambassador for the Golden Rule, suggests that his involvement likely goes beyond just financial support, possibly bringing a sense of community and spiritual guidance to the project ¹ ².
