The Testimony of Brother Martin
By Pastor Martin Odhiambo
In Dec of 2003, I had a dream that convinced me that I needed to teach the Bible. God had laid in upon my heart to pray for the people and even to preach in outreach evangelism. Needless to say, “I prayed about it.” About three months later I started preaching and planted two branches which I am leading. I have a great anointing of the lord to do His will, but I lack many resources to help me in going out to preach. I have come to realize that if you don’t have funds you cant move nor walk in the mission field. Unable go to most places and yet the field is rip and needs more labors to do it and to fulfill the great work of our Lord
God. Kenya is the most beautiful and wonderful place to preach within, it is so painful to see many have not heard about the gospel in Kenya and yet we can not reach most of them due to the lack of funds.
I was in church praying for God to open the doors for us to preach. Immediately after church a man came over to me and asked if I would help them with a preaching meeting and even head it up. Being sure of God’s will, I told him, “I would do it.” So, I went! Isaiah 6:8 says, “Also I heard the voice of the Lord,
saying, whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
I am married with two children. A girl and a boy. My sons name is Raymond Otieno Odhiambo and my daughters name is Faith Awuor Odhiambo.
Hebrews 6:1-2 says, So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God. You don’t need further instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
Perfection can mean: “maturity, or to make as good as possible, holiness, righteousness.”
2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
We need to study God’s Word to be a good witnesses. Luke 21:15 says, “For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.”
