Praying for peace in Kenya
Kenyans have been going through hard times since December 30th 2007. The announcement of the presidential election results were disputed in the most wantonly violence that I have ever witnessed in the country. Kenya -"The Island of peace" as it is often known, turned into a killing field where people who had lived together for years turned against each other like wounded lionesses! Properties were destroyed and communication made impossible by various players who reacted in various ways. The losers barricaded roads from various places while the government stopped live broadcasting. Movement was minimal. Demonstrations went on in various parts of the country and hampered all kinds of business transactions. There were shortages of almost all essential commodities at various parts of the country as people continued protesting. However, the situation is improving and we hope that the jetting in of international mediators will help Kenya to resolve the political stalement. Kenyans agreed that on 25th Jan. 2008 will be a national day of prayer. It is my prayer that Kenyans will be true to themselves and repent before they can pray. We have all sinned by hating, killing, supporting killers, lying, stealing, pretending, alienating others and grabbing. Therefore, I urge Kenyans to pray honestly that God heals our land. Let there be love and not pretence. Let there be peace and harmony among the citizens. Let there be real peace. Peace that only God can offer. Peace that surpasses all understanding. PEACE. Kenyans be honest in your prayer so as to let God have His way
