Local News, 11.08.2013, By Ken Simiyu. Demonstrate your faith by obeying God's commandments, Christians told.

Christians of St. Augustine's Cathedral Parish have been asked to forever be vigilant and lead spiritually upright lives in accordance with the dictates of God's commandments.

Lodwar Diocese Bishop Dominic Kimengich told the faithful to always examine their conscience and respond to the inner voice through which God commands them to do what is right always in their spiritual and physical lives.In his homily on the 19^th Sunday in ordinary time of the Church calendar, Bishop Kimengich challenged the congregation to demonstrate their faith as Christians by going beyond being mere disciples and instead become apostles.

The Rt. Rev. Kimengich said Christians should be ready to rise above the satisfaction of being baptized and attending church services and be ready to be sent out to evangelize.

He said our faith is supreme and should be comparable to the faith demonstrated by Abraham who was commanded to go to a foreign land to posses it and obeyed without questioning God's intentions.Bishop Kimengich asked Christians to conduct themselves with good character that is beyond reproach and avoid leading a life of double standards.“Christians should stop having one foot in the materialistic world and another on the spiritual path that leads to heavenly kingdom and added that they receive Holy Communion on Sunday in one hand while on Monday when they go to their work places they receive bribes with the other hand”. Rt Rev Kimengich said they should not be like the hyena whose desire to have everything led him to perish.
