Its April and the country is bleeding , yes I said bleeding, because of the pain that has been inflicted upon us by our 'usual' enemy, ALSHABAAB . For the last one week, the media has been awash and abuzz with stories , analysis and up to date preview of the #GARISSAMASSACRE happenings that allegedly claimed 147 lives . The dust has not settled on the same issue , blame game is the order of the day even as #alshabaab through #AFP , claimed responsibility for the attack. I can only imagine the pain, the agony and the trauma which the relatives and the survivors are going through at the moment. For those who lost their lives, God rest your souls in eternal peace.
Am writing this as a concerned citizen and my main question today is ,just when did the rain begun hitting us this hard? The imagination that people were killed mainly because of their faith is disheartening and painful in equal measure. Now , as Christians, what lessons are we learning from this ? Methinks its high time we even question our Christianity, like, are we right with God ? When did we go wrong ? Isn't it time we gave repentance a chance for sure ? Statistics lies to me that Kenya is 80% Christians but wait a minute , really ? Why are we lying ? Last week I got a strong conviction that as a country, we need Jesus than anything else for real, its not more guns , its not the 10000 police , its our souls and nothing less than that.
How on earth do we explain a country that is wounded in all the spheres, say economic, never mind the recent cases of massive corruption cases that have rocked the country and rubbed many the wrong way .Its a shame that as a country we have been hopping not from one project to another but rather from one scandal to another one. That our headlines have been screaming about the ills of the state more than achievements tells a lot of a nation that has really buried its head under the sand and abdicated its core mandate . History will judge this country harshly in the sense that we have packaged ourselves as a reactive country rather than a proactive one to issues that affects us. As I type these, I feel like its like we are having leaders who are still living in utopia on such issues. Just how many more lives are we going to lose in accidents , in alcohol, in grenades that have always been dropped at will by the usual assailants so that we may realize that GOD wants us to change our ways of doing things? That's a point of ponder .
That the whole country is marred by corruption cases is a reason why we need to ask ourselves why the rain is hitting us hard. Sometimes I shudder at the imagination that I cant help the whole situation yet at the same time I find out that I CAN PRAY about it, yes , I said pray. As Christians for sure , we have failed , we have lost it like it was yesterday brethren. Little wonder all the evils of the society are hovering around and maiming us in all the spheres, little wonder we are losing lives en mass and we are not getting our lessons, little wonder the kanyaris of this world are thriving , oh yes , the list is on.
Lets go back to Christ guys, lets turn back to GOD . I choose to rest my case
