HOLY WRIT IN SHENG
Luke 19: 1-10
--'Luke Kumi na tisa, moja hadi ashuu.'
Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
--Basi Yesu akapenya Jeri na alikuwa akipitia tuu.
Now behold,there was a man called Zaccheus who was the Chief Tax collector and was rich.
--Basi kilikuwa na msee mmoja ana itwa Zaka . Huyu Zaka alikuwa dongra wa kukwachu munde, na alikuwa sonko vibaya
And he sought to see who Jesus was, but he couldn't
because of the crowd,for he was a short man.
--Zaka alijisikia kusorora huyu Yesu ,lakini wapi ju ya ile kerende:alikuwa ka-pici!
So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to
see Him for he was going that direction.
--Zaka akajishanora akadandia miti ndio asorore vipoa
juu alikuwa akikwome hiyo side.
And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him
--Basi Yesu aligalavant akafika hiyo baze,akachi-ek
mabatini akamyebi na kumshow niaje ?
"Zacchaeus,make a haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house"
--"Zaka dondoka faster faster juu leo lazima ni maintain kwa keja yako".

CHURCH VOCABULARY
1. Anointing: Used to describe any non-regular emotion (crying in the middle of a song when you forget the words, telling the church off (particularly when its over tithes and offering), doing the Olympic shout around the church (first one that hits the wall gets a white hanky tied around their neck!)
2. Trick of the Enemy: Used to describe anything that happens because you didn't do what you were supposed to, like your car getting repossessed cause you didn't pay the note, lights getting shut off cause you quit work to go on tour with the pastors choir, or your child repeating the first grade cause he missed the whole second semester to go on a 90 day/90 night fast and consecration.
*Of course, we know there is grace*
3. Rhema Word: Any message from an out-of-town pastor or evangelist.
4. Prophetic Word: Same message from that out-of-town pastor, delivered 5 decibels louder, while the congregation is standing. Quiet organ music optional, but works better with silence.
5. Carnal: Used to describe a saint who goes to the movies. This term doesn't apply if you rent the same movie from Blockbuster.
6. Didn't God Move?: What saints say after a long service where the pastor doesn't preach and they just shout the whole service.
7. Unlock Your Blessing: What preachers say after they've finished preaching, and they say you must give $50 to "unlock your blessing." For a more dramatic effect, this offering can be started at $1,000 and worked down to $25.
8. He'll Do It If You Let Him (followed by inaudible tongues): Round one of shouting; will begin in 5 minutes. Organist get ready.
9. We Got To Move On: What the preacher says when he wants shout time to start up again. Organist, turn up the volume on the Leslie.
10. We Have Time for One More Testimony: Not really, we're just waiting on the pastor to come into service. If you're called on during this one, when you hear clapping, just stop talking, cause the pastor has walked in and people are no longer interested in what God did for you.
11. We Can Never Pay for the Word: Get your checkbook out, the auction will begin momentarily! This phrase always comes before the offering is taken for the guest speaker.
12. God Has Been Dealing with Me on Some Issues: I'm still doing what I was doing before I got saved, only now I just put in an extra $5 in my offering when I do it.
13. Is He Worthy: Of course He is; why ask a question like that.
14. Let Us Go To God in Our Own Way: This is what you say when they ask you to pray in church and you don't know what to say.
15. Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready! Don't really know what this one means, but if you're not careful, a shout could break out when you say it. It must be said three times to have real impact.
16. I Can't Get No Help: Preachers say this when no one says amen in the spot they thought would get a lot of amens.
17. I'm Blessed and Highly Favored: Said when a fellow saint asks "how are you?" Memo to saints: you CAN be saved and answer "fine" when someone asks how are you.
18. Where The Spirit of The Lord is, There is liberty: Whenever you want to disrupt service and holler out when it’s quiet, use this statement to justify your behavior.
19. Get Ready To Go To The Next Level: This means the church will be hosting another revival in a few months.
20. Stand To Your Feet: This gives the illusion that the preacher is finished, but be prepared to stand up for at least 1/2 hour. May be cut to 15 minutes if the organist starts playing softly.

23. Secular: Any person, place, object or event that's not in the church.

IT PAYS TO BE A KENYAN
Well this is not my original work somebody forwarded the same to me.
A man dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a different hell for each country and decides he'll pick the least painful to spend his eternity.
He goes to Germany hell and asks, "what do they do here?" He is told "first they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day". The man does not like the sound of that at all so he moves on. He checks out the Shell as well as the Russian hell and many more. He discovers that they are all similar to the German hell.
Then he comes to the Kenyan hell and finds that there is a long line of people waiting to get in. Amazed, he asks, "What do they do here?" He is told "first they put you in an electric chair for an hour, then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour.
The Kenyan devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day."
"But that is exactly the same as all the other hells why are there so many people waiting to get in?" asks the man.” Because there is never any electricity so the electric chair does not work. The nails were paid for but never supplied, so the bed is comfortable to sleep on. And the Kenyan devil used to be a civil servant, so he comes in, signs his time sheet and goes back home for private business. "
SO YOU SEE, IT PAYS TO BE A KENYAN!!
