Kenya Bleeds-A call For Peace!

Kenya bleeds from a wound inflicted by flawed and stolen elections,outright theft,resultant -violence,tribal animosity,rape,skirmishes,ethnic cleansing etc a lethal concoction of negative vices perpetuated by the political crass! who assume that a sense of normalcy now prevails atleast in their self denial and palatial homesteads .May they be warned -vice and violence always have a way of snaking itself to touch those who believe that they are in some form of 'deceitful' comfort.911 proved that!so the violence must be stemmed right now at its root cause!

Shame on them, there can be no normalcy when brother butchers brother, maims, kills,displaces one against the other!It has never been normal to be a refugee in your own Country!The violence that has claimed more than 300 lives and has left hundreds of thousands displaced cannot be wished away!What has transpired in Kenya since the 28 December 2007 are stark signs of deep rooted social problems and if not curtailed and healed at this stage-it is certain that a major earthquake will follow those tremors marked by the violence we have just witnessed and seemingly continue to witness!

Nothing warrants Kikuyu to turn on luo or luo on kikuyu,kalenjin on kikuyu,lughya,iteso vice versa.We are all brothers cut from one stone as it were!Our differences help us appreciate each other not kill each other!Peace must prevail but for peace to prevail we must seek it earnestly in truth and justly!Lies,theft,ignorance & arrogance,pride, ego... only begets more violence and allows it to steam and froth! Futhermore use of police or force will not stem the violence[Ecle 9:18] but hype the stakes,now those protesting may be throwing stones and the Police tear gassing them ,tomorrow we may witness bombs,grenades guns,deadly weapons etc.

Countries that have trodden these paths such as Serbia, Boznia, Chechnya, Rwanda, Burundi, Angola ,Siera Leone bear testimony to this fact.They hadPolice Forces,Nilitary Forces but when there is such kind of apathy these instruments of state become partisan and all manner of evils break loose.Truly as a country we cannot bear to tread this path atleast for the sake of our children,posterity,peace and democracy!Lip service is bleak! Actions inspired by truth,openess,justice must flow otherwise no one is safe!

I make a sincere and passionate call to the political class not to be the hand tools of demons(2nd Tim3:1-5)!The violence that we have seen are reminescent of what transpired in Rwanda and are no doubt a tale tell of heightened demonic activity in the spirit realm within our country. A fruitage of Gods holy spirit is peace[James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among YOU? Let him show out of his fine conduct his works with a mildness that belongs to wisdom. 14 But if YOU have bitter jealousy and contentiousness in YOUR hearts, do not be bragging and lying against the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is [the] earthly, animal, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and contentiousness are, there disorder and every vile thing are.17 But the wisdom from above is first of all chaste, then peaceable, reasonable, ready to obey, full of mercy and good fruits, not making partial distinctions, not hypocritical. 18 Moreover, the fruit of righteousness has its seed sown under peaceful conditions for those who are making peace.] ;violence on the other hand is demonic, earthly!

I PLEASE APPEAL TO OUR POLITICAL LEADERS : LEGITIMATE OR OTHERWISE-TAKE SOME TIME AND MEDITATE ON WHAT HAS OCCURED! PUT YOURSELF IN THE SHOE OF THOSE DISPLACED,ROBED OFF THEIR LIVELIHOOD,MAIMED OR WIDOWED DUE TO YOUR ACTIONS OR OMMISIONS,EMPATHISE WITH THE YOUNG CHILD THAT HAS LOST ITS PARENTS AND THEN DO WHAT IS RIGHT NOT BEFORE YOUR OWN EYES OR IN THE EYES OF YOUR COLLEGEAUES BUT BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY GOD!
