WHAT'S HOT IN KENYA

To stay informed as a pastor, I spend a reasonable amount of time every day watching news, listening to the Radio shows/discussions/talks, reading USA/Kenyan daily papers and following discussions on different forums. I've observed quite some interesting things. Like?

1.     Some people like twisting facts so as to achieve their intended goals

2.    Politics is a very dirty game indeed. Politicians can do anything and I mean anything so as to bring their opponents down

3.    Some people are ever ready to buy anything that sounds sweet to their ears- Have seen a lot of this in the American politics

4.    Some politicians are more corrupt/cunning than others

5.    Some lawyers are as cunning as their masters/mentors. They are neither here nor there. They are easily influenced by the wind. It's about survival

6.    The motivation behind supporting this leader as opposed to that leader is often times influenced by selfish motives, such as:-What will I get or better still, how will I benefit? ; Is this individual my friend? Is this individual of my race/tribe/clan?  

7.    Even those who claim to be followers of Jesus are often times caught up in this messy game of fact twisting

And so in the end, it's all confusion. All I can say is "Save us dear Lord" Mercy !

"Buy the truth and do not sell it-- wisdom, instruction and insight as well." (Proverbs 23:23)

There are times when you find yourself loving somebody or wanting something so bad and you don't want him/her or it to go. Your love/liking is so intense that nothing else counts. But if things are not going the way you expected or whoever you like doesn't seem to like you then just let it go.

From what I have heard from others, it's never easy to let it go. Memories of time spent together keeps on coming back. Any attempt to let go never gets easy.

It would be a job that you have wanted for so long but every time you think that you are about to get it, then lo and behold something happens

Listen, when things begin going south, just let it go. In life, do not force anything. Give time to healing for in the end you will be find. Yes, the journey back will never be the same but in the end, all will be fine. Just avoid forcing anything.

He must increase, but I must decrease. (John 3:30)

Many people don't like it. No. They actually hate to learn/hear/ know that someone else is doing better than them. Not at school, work, home, church or among fellow workers, colleagues, friends, church members and name it. All that many people care about is "I, Me and Myself" kind of feeling

That kind of approach in life is selfish in many ways. God's desire for each one of us is to consider others. Wrote the Apostle Paul: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.  Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." (Philippians 2:3-4)
