Echoes of war, na bado mnacheka kwa viti vya serikali?


Bridges burnt while babies beg for bread,

UDA ndio wazito wanakula nyama, sisi tukimeza mate,

Tears of youth flood the cracked streets of Kenya,

Every promise tossed like trash on election day,

Ruto aka Kasongo, mkono wako sio msafi,  

Echoes of war, na bado mnacheka kwa viti vya serikali.


Bila aibu mnauza ndoto za watoto wetu, 

Ukweli mnaubandika kwa propaganda za magazeti,

Tumechoka kupiga kelele hewani,

Eneo baada ya eneo linaungua kwa njaa na hasira,

Risasi za bei rahisi, maisha kwa bei ya raisi, 

Echoes of war, na bado mnacheka kwa viti vya serikali.


Bendera zinapeperusha uongo hewani,  

Uma-skini umetundikwa kama bango za siasa,

Tumebaki kushangilia kwa miguu iliyofungwa pingu,

Embelezwa na ndoto zisizoamka,

Rudini nyuma mje muone mliyoharibu,

Echoes of war, na bado mnacheka kwa viti vya serikali.

It is sad that our leaders are 'professional ostriches'... The masters of the 'sky' with no affiliation with the 'ground'... One day they will not believe it

I was wrong about marriage.

Image
Someone once joked and said that “Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.” No marriage, no divorce, right?😀🤦 But seriously, we live in wild times. People are marrying same gender, animals, themselves—even inanimate objects. And guess what? Some of these are legal in certain societies. But what did marriage originally mean? Biblically, it started with KNOWING  ðŸ˜‰ — yes, sex. Adam saw Eve, liked her, and knew her. No priest. No parents. No papers. That got me thinking: when does marriage actually start? I've asked around — “ When did you get married? ” The answers are all over the place. To share a few, some say, “Wedding day.” Others, “When we paid dowry.” while others say, “When we started living together.” Again, is it either of them or some of them combined? But those factors didn't exist in Eden. So I turned to God with the same question. His answer? “ WHEN YOU COMMIT TO HER. ” Not when you sleep with her. Not when you sign papers. Not even when your guardians approve...

When the firstborn dies.

Everything Changes When a Firstborn Dies. Today, I found myself reflecting on ancient Egypt—specifically, during the reign of the Pharaoh who didn’t know Joseph (Exodus 1:8). It was a time of great power, but also of great sorrow, especially when things took a tragic turn. Now, you might know the story, but let's revisit it a bit. Joseph, the shepherd boy and his father’s favorite, found himself in a bit of a pickle. His brothers, tired of his dreams and his fancy coat, sold him off to some merchants. These merchants then sold Joseph as a slave in Egypt. Fast forward a few years, and our boy Joseph had climbed the ranks in Egypt, from slave to leader. He was well-known, respected, and even had a family. Then, a severe drought struck, and Egypt, under Joseph’s brilliant management, became the region’s breadbasket. It’s said that the grain stores were so full that they stopped keeping records (Genesis 41:49). This abundance attracted people from all over, including Joseph’s own...

Dear Parents, pray.

Image
Parenting is not just physical care—it is spiritual warfare. The story of Abraham and Lot (Genesis 18-19) teaches us that we cannot assume our children will follow God simply because we raised them in the faith. We must intercede  for them as well. Below is a structured prayer guide based on this biblical account to help guardians stand in the gap for their children.   1. A Prayer of Surrender: Acknowledging God’s Authority. “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” (Genesis 18:25) Prayer : Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that You alone are the righteous Judge. You see the hearts of my children better than I do. I surrender them to You, knowing that only Your wisdom, mercy, and love can truly transform them. Help me trust Your ways even when I don’t understand them. Declaration : I release my children(insert names) into Your hands, Lord. You created them, and You know their future. I will not live in fear but in faith that You are working in their lives.  ...
