God is good all the times and all times God is good. I do give him all the praise because its ONLY him and HIM alone who is my creator and also its only him who knows where I will go when I die and that’s why I am not afraid of those who can kill my physical body and do nothing more than that, but am only afraid of he (God) who can kill me and my soul too.
In the bible we are told that, Joseph was sold to Egypt by his brothers because he had a dream (vision) and when he was sold there, it was a blessing in disguise because when there was famine in Israel, Jacob sent his sons to buy food there and to their surprise, it was Joseph who was the governor but since
he had good attitude, he never took offence and he treated his brothers well.
Despite all their efforts, they never killed Joseph’s dream and as long as one has a dream in life, one will encounter all types of critics and admirers. Concerning my Christian faith, it’s only God who will judge me and not human beings.
When Jesus was crucified, we are told that he was crucified with two thieves and one of them went to paradise because he pleaded with Jesus to remember him once he was in heaven and Jesus assured him that “tonight you will be with me in paradise”. According to the people of that time, they had condemned that thief to death but thanks to God because he never judges the way human beings do judge. It’s only by turning to Christ that we will receive salvation.
Rev. Dr. Ian Paisley is the head of one of the biggest political parties (Protestant) in Northern Ireland and he has not been talking to Gerry Adams of Sinn Feinn (Catholics) because of the politics of Northern Ireland until recently when they agreed to share power. Rev. Jesse Jackson is another high profile Clergyman who also indulges in politics.
The late Bishop, Dr. Henry Okullu even wrote a book about Church and Politics and he was very instrumental in championing the introduction of multi-partism in Kenya. Dr. Timothy Njoya and the late Bishop Alexander Kipsang Muge were also very vocal in criticizing Moi’s dictatorship.
I have never called myself a Pastor because in the first place I have never gone to any theological college. To my understanding, anyone who preaches the word of God or who teaches it can qualify for that title though in God’s Kingdom, all will be equal and that’s how God sees us as human beings because we are all created in his own image.
On my political leanings, it’s no secret that I have been supporting President Mwai Kibaki because it’s my God given right to support a candidate of my choice. In all articles which I have written, I have never attacked any particular community in Kenya but obviously as a supporter of PNU, I had to throw some salvos on ODM, just as they were also doing. I have never used any crude language as others have been doing.
About being born a Gikuyu, I have no apologies to make to anybody because God found me fit to be born in that community and it was not my choice. I do also respect other communities because they too, were created by God and that’s the beauty of creation. No community or race is superior than the others.
One is entitled to Freedom of Opinion and Association but it does not mean that if one gives an opinion which another person thinks is not right, one is against that person. I have stated in many of my articles even prior to the elections that I will support whichever government the Kenyan people chooses and right now am supporting the Grand Coalition government.
About funds raised at Bagarmossen Church, its only UHCK committee which can issue a Statement on the issue. It is not the first time Bagarmossen Church has been attacked and if it’s the will of God that it should be there, it will always survive. If there is anybody who has been confused by my religious status, turn only to Jesus because it’s only him who is the way, life and light.
