The Rector’s Message
3rd February 2013
How to deal with enemies?
This question raises many other questions. How do you identify an enemy? Should be enemy be an individual,
a group or ideology or some combination of those? From a Christian religious perspective, the enemy is within
and without. The bible gives us several examples for how to deal with enemies. For instance, David and
Golitah, David and Saul read 1 Samuel 24:4 and 2 Samuel 22:1-3.
All people have enemies. Even though Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, He had enemies. The end result was
that He was finally crucified on the cross. The world offers all of its temptations, trying to lead us away from
the Lord. Unbelief, humanism and materialism are tools of evil being used to destroy us, while the misplaced
zeal of false religious bodies and false religious leaders is set in opposition to Christ and to us because we
follow Him. And, always, there is Satan, our archenemy, with his host of followers, working to see our souls
condemned in hell. Peter warns, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,
walks about, seeking whom he may devour.” (l Peter 5:8).
So how do we deal with our enemies? Christ said that we should love our enemies and do good to them. He
says, “you have heard said, you shall love your neighbour, and hate your enemy. But I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use
you, and persecute you; That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he makes his sun
to rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matthew 5:43-45).
But how can we love our enemies, those who hate us, despitefully use us and persecute us? By human nature it
would be impossible, but Christians are to grow in partaking of the nature of God. The answer, therefore, is in
having an agape love (the Greek word for the highest form of love) for our enemy. What kind of love is that? It
is not an emotional love but, rather, it seeks what is best for that person, even though he would do us harm.
Such a godly love prompts us to return good for evil. We would not try to hurt him. Rather, we want the best
for that person. As members in His family, the church, we are to have that type of love for the sinner and for
our enemies.
But what about the wicked, those who seek to harm us and others? Is their wickedness to go unpunished? This
we can discuss as meet during the week. To individual Christians, Paul was instructed by the Holy Spirit to
write- Romans 12:17-21.
On the other hand, God says to civil governments, “You are my sword to execute wrath on evil doers.”
Therefore, governments of countries around the world are God’s agencies to control lawlessness and to punish
those who would harm the helpless. Please Romans 13:1-4.
Trust that God will have the final word on the Day of Judgment. (Revelation 20:12-l5).

Building on the Foundation: Our Hope For Tomorrow
Our Theme for this year is Building on the Foundation: Our Hope For Tomorrow
Using 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 as guide to unfold God’s movement among us.
By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each
one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus
Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be
shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the
quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up,
the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

MALARIA
Malaria is a parasitic disease that involves high fevers, shaking chills, flu-like symptoms, and anemia.
Malaria is caused by a parasite that is passed from one human to another by the bite of infected Anopheles
mosquitoes. After infection, the parasites (called sporozoites) travel through the bloodstream to the liver,
where they mature and release another form, the merozoites. The parasites enter the bloodstream and
infect red blood cells.
The parasites multiply inside the red blood cells, which then break open within 48 to 72 hours, infecting
more red blood cells. The first symptoms usually occur 10 days to 4 weeks after infection, though they
can appear as early as 8 days or as long as a year after infection. The symptoms occur in cycles of 48 to
72 hours.
Most symptoms are caused by:
 The release of merozoites into the bloodstream
 Anemia resulting from the destruction of the red blood cells
Large amounts of free hemoglobin being released into circulation after red blood cells break open
Malaria can also be transmitted from a mother to her unborn baby (congenitally) and by blood
transfusions. Malaria can be carried by mosquitoes in temperate climates, but the parasite disappears over
the winter.
In some areas of the world, mosquitoes that carry malaria have developed resistance to insecticides. In
addition, the parasites have developed resistance to some antibiotics. These conditions have led to
difficulty in controlling both the rate of infection and spread of this disease.
There are four types of common malaria parasites. Recently, a fifth type, Plasmodium knowlesi, has been
causing malaria in Malaysia and areas of southeast Asia. Another type, falciparum malaria, affects more
red blood cells than the other types and is much more serious. It can be fatal within a few hours of the
first symptoms.
Symptoms
 Anemia
Bloody stools
 Chill
Coma
 Convulsion
Fever
 Headache
Jaundice
 Muscle pain
Nausea
 Sweating
Vomiting
Signs and tests
During a physical examination, the doctor may find an enlarged liver or enlarged spleen. Malaria blood
smears taken at 6 to 12 hour intervals confirm the diagnosis.
A complete blood count (CBC) will identify anemia if it is present.
Treatment
Malaria, especially Falciparum malaria, is a medical emergency that requires a hospital stay. Chloroquine is often
used as an anti-malarial medication. However, chloroquine-resistant infections are common in some parts of the
world.
Possible treatments for chloroquine-resistant infections include:
· The combination of quinidine or quinine plus doxycycline, tetracycline, or clindamycin
· Atovaquone plus proguanil (Malarone)
· Mefloquine or artesunate
The combination of pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine (Fansidar)
The choice of medication depends in part on where you were when you were infected.
Medical care, including fluids through a vein (IV) and other medications and breathing (respiratory) support may be
needed.
