The Lord Reigns

I wake  up in the middle of the night,the silence,the calmness and the awesome feeling one gets when everything is cool.A verse keeps on  coming to my mind now and then,i cant trace where it is excatly in the bible but atleast im conversant with it.No bundles to google,i cant call a friend whom i know is soo good in memorising bible verses and a gain,who calls people at  one AM for such an issue?unless its really important,an emergency we say. 2017 has been a great year.Yes,great is ambiguous.its had all sorts of issues from good to bad,moments of celebration as well as mourning,days of total silence as well as days when you talk,talk,and before you exhaust ur saliva,sleep catches up with you.Oh an year whereby politics have left quite a number of us mouths wide open,others didnt want to even watch news because really,at some point it didnt make sense.A year where prophecies were given including some fake ones which you didnt need an interpreter to tell you that clea...

Goodmorning dear ones, its been long since we met in this platform.Well,we all need a time of refreshing and reflecting lest you become irrelevant. Life is full of mysteries.Many things happen and none of us will comprehend why or how.At times the process itself maybe so complicated,leaving all of us shocked and with so many unaswered questions.Today a child will die as young as six,courtesy of a careless motorcycle driver or even due to flu,some chock while sleeping whereas a eighty year old granny will be carried to go vote.Well,this doesnt mean that the eighty year old deserves to die,neither does it justify the demise of a six year old.All these issues leave us somehow confused and with no answers. No wonder the bible says that the secret things belong to God,but the things revealed belong to us and our children(deut 29;29). The year is almost coming to an end and as human beings,each one of us has had their share of struggles,lightmoments,challenges,achievements,as well ...

Ever been in a situation that you cannot figure out what it really is?Ever been caught up in deep thoughts that lead to a land with no name or people?How about having  a wandering wondering mind?Have you ever gazed at a building,a bus or people but in real sense you can see nothing?How about looking at your shirt/blouse buttons for like three minutes and you cant really see what they are and of what essense?Have you ever travelled in a bus,theres a preacher giving the word,but you dont even care or hear anything hes saying,you reach your destination but since you are in a world of your own you realize that you are far gone past the normal place you usually alight?How about tossing in bed,sleep has just gone for a sleep over to your neighbours and your cousins the mosquitoes have also gone for a bash next door???You are all alone...but if i was to ask you what you are thinking about you cant really tell. These things happen and if one is not careful,the chances of slipping into...

All of us come from somewhere.We have our roots.Remember those days how our parents whipped us and disciplined us?Remember how sometimes we were denied food(depending on ur parents)?Some of us were shunned from visiting aunts and uncles in the city,whereas others were denied the pleasure of that school trip just because we misbehaved.From that,we would promise to never repeat the mistakes done,to be careful next time.Yes,we learned our lessons. Allow me pose a question here,Who disciplines or moulds grown men and women character?the Swahili people will tell me"asiye funzwa na mamake,hufunzwa na ulimwengu"which when loosely translated means,if you are not chastised by your mother/parents,the world will teach you proper lessons.It is human to make mistakes,but then...what is the action plan once we mess up or step on peoples toes?Better still,who can help us sort the issue and get us back standing without condemning us?Biblically,there are men and women who loved the lord ...

It surprises me how time flies!Just the other day we were celebrating new year and alas,we are almost closing 2017.Have you taken stock of the issues of your life so far and whats the progress?Afew years ago,one of my favorite lecturers told us to always make sure we reflect.Reflection helps in keeping checks over your life.It is through reflection that you are able to make ammends as well as get the motivation to press on with  the things that really matter as far as you are concerned.Better still,through reflection,you call an immediate meeting with yourself,take the minutes,and make referrals where necessary.It is in place of reflection that you swallow your pride,seek for forgiveness to people you have offended as well as make things right with your maker.For how can two walk together unless they agree? Well,we are in the eighth month of the year.It is the month of new beginnings.Its my hope that you have properly positioned yourself to what the lord wants to begin in your...

We all want things to happen fast,the thought of waiting a little while is just sickening.Ever been to an ATM machine and before the machine processes your request,you just wonder how long it takes when the indicator pops in'processing"..How about getting to a lift and you are late,only wishing that it can skip third and fourth floors to just drop you in fifth floor so that you at least get to the office not so late than you are?Remember that day you woke pretty early for an interview,only to get to the bus stop,the bus fills up pretty fast but ooops,,,theres so much traffic and you cant help but just panic? The human nature is not patient.Besides patience being a fruit of the Holy spirit,majority of us will confess that it really takes the grace of God for us to really wait..or rather be patient.Its already seven months in 2017 and things have not really been moving as you intended.You had 2017 resolutions well drafted in your diary and looking back,you have not moved to...

We Escaped like a Bird From the Fowler's Snare If the lord had not been on our side,let Israel say,if the lord had not been on our side,when people attacked us,they would have swallowed us alive(psalm 124;1-2).Been reflecting on this verse and the lord has greatly ministered to me.Ever thought of the many times we take the blessings of God for granted?How about being ignorant of the grace that has been released over our lives? For the past two weeks,ive been rewatching a certain documentary that aired on a national tv sometimes back  dubbed'children of a lesser god'.That story about the Garissa university massacre.Every time i would listen to the man who lost a daughter who happened to be the only hope of the family.The thought of the pain that the family went through is baffling.The sacrifice that parents are willing to offer to just ensure that their children get the best...but even in my empathy,im reminded that The lord reigns..in good or bad ti...

Its been long since we met,right?Everyone takes time to reflect as well as take a break..i bet this took a month plus for me.Welcome dear reader,hope you have been well. Im sure April was fantastic and that the lord God has kept watch over you. A week ago,i happened to take a matatu to work,plying the Ngongroad route from town.There are some traits and behavior that you deem so obvious with our colleagues in the psv services.On the fateful morning,i was almost late for work thus had no option but take the bus that came first irrespective of how old or new(Nganya au mzee).I happened to get a seat at the very backseat and as usual,minded my business in scrolling through my phone.Immediately before the back seat on the right,a guy called the conductor  and issued him a phone,which he claimed a lady had left/forgotten as she was alighting.Huh,i craned my neck to see the guy with such a gentle heart...more to that,i really wanted to see what the conductor would do.Immediately he st...

He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning(Daniel;21)It is very easy to bypass these words when reading your bible,but am amazed that this is what literally happens in life!Seasons come and go and many of us tend to be carried away very swiftly by the issues of life.As Solomon puts it in Ecclesiastes 3,theres a time for everything,a season for every activity under the sun.While some of us waste time in complaining of every season,others optimize every opportunity in that season and mind you many are elevated even in what may seem to you as a dark moment in life. I tend to believe that one mans meat is another mans poison.For instance,during this tough seaon in our country when doctors downed their tools,most of the private hospitals and clinics are getting business(although many are taking advantage of it).That clinic in your village where none of you could even dare know who the dotor is and wh...

Its exactly five days to the awaited  Valentines day!A day when most people if not all of us make merry,enjoy friendship as well as cement their love to their lovers through a gift, a night out and many activities that lovers  engage in.Do not be amused when you find ladies in red cute dresses wheres men get a touch of red either in ties,t shirts or pocket square.Many people cherish this day!im sure there so many memories you have,  attached to this day whether good or bad.Id say that if its really a big day for you,go forth and rejoice!enjoy every second of that day..Maximize every opportunity that comes with valentines day. Theres nothing wrong with having fun and making merry.The lord himself urges us to be ware of times and seasons and respond effectively in prov 11;25,the bible clearly records that in good times we rejoice while in bad times,we consider; While contemplating on the meaning of love in  this month of love,my mind cant let go of a group of peop...

What a privilege to end the month of January healthy,blessed and hopeful of greater days ahead!you will concur with me that thus far the lord has helped us,blessed be the name of the Lord.As the month of January comes to an end,what have you learnt?what have you purposed to change and what are you working on? Well,personally i have learnt quite a number of things.i have been challenged as well as equipped to embrace even more .It is said that a nation without a vision,people perish.its my prayer that even as a person you have a vision or a purpose that you are trying to live or  pursue.Remember all of us shall give an account of how we used our talents and the opportunities that God gave us .We are to all present results of how we nurtured whatever the lord entrusted to us as stewards. People strive to get titles,fame.recognition,places of honor to an extent some use dubious means to just make sure they are on the lime light.This is very evident even in our country.The rea...

A THANKFUL HEART Hello dear ones,its the second week of January2017,am glad the lord has brought us this far.It makes me glad of the promises and  blessings packaged for me this year.Im sure you are as well expectant of what the lord has kept in store for you.My prayer is that you will find grace to wait patiently for him. As the year unveils,with what attitude are you approaching things?Do you have a thankful heart?Are you the type that will never appreciate for anything but  find fault in everything?Can we classify you in the group of complainers?My boss used to tell us that 'complainers die in the wilderness'!they never get to the promised land(refer to the story of  the 12 spies in numbers 14)I pray that you will change or else you die in the wilderness. There are so many things that we tend to take for granted either knowingly or unknowingly.The fact that we have God in our lives is enough to be grateful.If the heavens can afford to declare the glory of G...
