About Us
Hi & welcome to Imara Amani.
My name is Marty and this site is a mini way of spending time to display God’s creative gift that He shares with His children. God is reminding us through many different ways of His ways even through this creative journey, what He is trying to communicate. This whole brand may not be perfect like He is but this is a journey of learning, discovering, and sharing some reminders from scripture in daily life (please check out the blog).
When you’re surrounded by God's great calling, you are a called person & He is willing to use us to share His word, in any little way. You try your best with a Christ like mind – prioritize God’s kingdom in all ways & He will meet you where you are.
So why Imara Amani?
Imara Amani connected basically means “Strong Peace”. The Swahili name “Imara” means "Strong". The Swahili name "Amani" means “Peace”, connected together it’s understood as “Strong Peace”. Strength and Peace are both attributes to the One who has and displays the best Strength & Peace, Jesus the Christ.
You may have seen in the homepage, there is a part that mentions scripture from deuteronomy. It says “write them on the doorsteps of your houses and on your gates”. I desire to continue that little practice as big encouragement shown in creative ways. Biblically, back then it was used as a reminder for the children of Israel to soak in His word. We have a new covenant now & all thankfully to the grace of Jesus. So, even to this day we still have this desire to display God’s love of scripture on our walls, doorposts & also with stickers. We can continue this opportunity to display the Gospel to visitors in our homes & for ourselves to consciously or subconsciously remember - we follow Him. It’s also a spiritual proclamation against the spiritual forces of evil trying to wage war, but we are motivated to wage war from God’s victorious side.
His word is our Sword to fight these battles between good and evil, so we put scripture on our walls, doorframes & personal items to show the declaration of scripture. The Word helping you fight battles. I would see my family, companions and family friend’s homes that we used to visit continue this practice and so now i realised that it's a great reminder to show God’s sovereign love. This also translates to a greater impact on how our day goes, just a glance of the Word. At Imara Amani we replicate the doorstep reminders through really cool Poster reminders with writings that can be placed on your walls. They are remembered to/from the tablet of your heart.
Ultimately these are words that are an uplifting encouragement, so you actually don’t have to buy anything. We just hope you follow along the journey in sharing Christ this way because Christ is the best gospel that has ever lived & as we follow Him on our journey, we may become the righteousness Of God through Him. We can all help each other.
The best Gospel is the one that is lived. We’re just getting started, and we’re so glad you’re here.
