Kenya
The bible in Genesis tells the story of Joseph son of Jacob; a Hebrew sold into slavery by his own brothers. He rose to become the governor of a foreign land, Egypt because God was with him. Joseph was a godly man and his government was phenomenal. He saved his country and the neighbouring nations from a devastating seven year famine.
Israel’s king David is another exemplary political leader who led his country to great prosperity. He revered and heeded godly counsel from God’s prophets all through his kingship and is described by the bible as a man after Gods heart.
The book of Daniel shows another godly man serving in a pagan kingdom. Daniel served in prominent positions but was unwilling to compromise his integrity even when his own life was at stake.
In Kenya, we have had Christians in parliament and government. Has their impact been felt? Currently we have a bishop Margaret Wanjiru, a former NCCK secretary general Mutava Musyimi among others in parliament. Have they made any difference? Where do church and politics meet? It has been said that William Ruto and Kalonzo Musyoka were born again. Is their faith visible? What about Linah Jebii Kilimo? The list goes on.
I am asking, what difference have you Christian leaders made in our country? Where are the Daniels, in the Church – Godly leaders whose integrity is unquestionable? If politics will cost you your reputation as a Christian – quit!
