I am amazed at the turn of events we have since witnessed in the up to now believed method to salvage Kenya. I am amazed even at myself of how much I came to believe in the negotiation team and forgot that the bible clearly tells us not to put our trust in men. I have seen how quickly we human beings forget; for when the killings were rife we all ran to God and even the leaders were spotted in several churches crying to God to help Kenya. I have come to witness with awe at the quick change of heart of many leaders on both sides of the divide how it has boiled down to we against them with no regard for Kenyans. We have so believed in these guys that we have forgotten that what they are doing is making political settlements.
Who is going to settle the now so homeless? The now so bitter? Them that hatred has infiltrated? The now tainted youth?
I believe the time is now for a Joshua generation to emerge amongst us. Guys who will take the mantle and lead the rest of us. Its a perfect opportunity for new choreographed leadership (for what we have seen hitherto is a selfish leadership that owes no regard to the sanctity of life).
The time is now for leaders who trust in the Lord with all their heart and lean not on their own understanding. Leaders who acknowledge Christ for he makes their paths straight; those who encourage their followers not to worry about tomorrow because God has got it under control.
I have for a long time kept my Faith on the wrong guys and forgot that this battle will be won on our knees.
In conclusion, I believe more that anything, that our future is in the hands of Christians. Christians who will stand up and fight for what is right, without fear of intimidation. Christians who will not turn a blind eye to evil, but will turn the other cheek to persecution. Brave Christian's ready to die fighting for what Christ taught. Christians who are strong enough to say NO when there is injustice – no matter who the injustice is directed to. Be it against someone from their tribe or outside because there is only one tribe: the tribe of love.
Our leaders may fail. Our constitution may fail. We may be frail ourselves at times, but LOVE NEVER FAILS. 1Chor:13.
Hi, although this comment is albeit late, it reminds me of a sermon i heard earlier in the year on the same subject. totally agree with you. the battle will be won on our knees, and this country belongs to the lord and not to our politicians.
