Jubilee!

As I sit here this Thursday morning listening to 10,000 reasons by Matt Redman and the rain hitting the corrugated iron sheets making it sound heavier that it actually is, I reminisce about this beautiful country Kenya and as I do I watch a lovely bird that despite the rain is still foraging for its chicks. It reminds me of the heart and will of Kenyans. It’s a lovely day.

Yet overall am elated to know that being a believer of the Word of God, I will be swimming in God’s goodness for it is a triple victory for everyone who believes in Christ Jesus and is totally committed to Him in deed and in speech. A celebration of the redemptive power of Christ in our lives through salvation, our all-round well-being through the overturn of laws of prosperity and health, again through Christ Jesus and the turn to prosperity of our country Kenya for it is the year of Jubilee as set by God. 

As a believer what really does concern me is the man labelled ‘Christian’ who will miss out on the full measure of the fun because of his latency. This is the man who despite his belief that he is following Christ, is as far from Him as the heathens. He trusts in his own abilities and he has no time for God except for ceremonial reasons. He will lose out because although claiming to believe, he does not trust. He does not pursue the road less traveled. 

I’m more distressed by those who have refused to believe in Christ’s existence and that he died and rose again. Having been one of them I know their darkness and having not yet reached the prism myself my heart melts for them for I know how way back they are. If only they could understand where we are as a nation and what all this means. 

There have been bad things done in this nation and we have seen how God has moved us step by step from oppression to liberation but the worst of things to have happened to Kenya is the retardation in beliefs that have led many Kenyans to evil. The glory of this retardation is seen on almost every other tree especially here Nairobi, the capital city holding a placard giving the number to a witchdoctor and some hold a list of some of the diseases and situations they claim to cure and resolve. That in itself is a survey enough to state that there is a high demand for these services.

In a country rated to hold eighty per cent Christians and the highest education rate in the region it’s a big shame that we can have such practices right in the capital city that is supposed to be the cream of the nation. It only begs the question of how much darkness is there in our rural homes. These kinds of practices and many others that have defied the progress this nation has made are epitomes of the mental colonization that we have in this country. 

Kenyans have progressively in all those fifty years defied all odds by prayer and patience and this too will cease when we teach the truth in our homes, our churches and in our schools.  

Teaching the truth concerning our faith and practicing it is the only test that the heathen have to understanding that faith. When someone tries witchcraft on you and it fails they’ll question the power of that witchcraft but when we don’t understand the word of God any downfall that a perceived Christian gets into because of his own sins is perceived by those who have tried witchcraft on him as success and thus an establishment of error in both their faiths. 

Let us be content with what we have and let’s believe in God as the source of all our prosperity. Know this and let every believer and heathen know this, there is no other power that can alter our lives for good except the power of our God.

This Jubilee may all our enemies be scattered and may all those who pray for our downfall be rendered weak under the subjection of the Holy Spirit,  May Kenyans grow in prosperity both in wisdom and in possession. May they know that we serve a mighty God the only God. 

Praise be to God. Amen!
