Islam is growing at an alarming rate in Kenya and the whole Africa . They are taking advantage of poverty here, and offering relief especially amongst the poorest of the poor in rural and slum areas. To ice their campaign, they are giving out free Korans in their thousands and people are taking them. Their lies are spreading fast. The disunity in the assembly of Christ is fuelling their machinations. The biggest boon in their hands is the ignorance in the Word of God that reigns in the minds of mostly Kenyan poor and African poor as a whole. They have the zeal for God but they don’t read the Bible because they simply cannot afford one. They will be seen at church taking notes, and nobody ever asks how they will get to study those things. The situation is pathetic.
Now, about the Islamic threat: should we keep quiet and “leave it up to God”? Or should we become fundamentalists and chase them down killing them? Or should we lock our countries and streets and homes that they should not enter? In all of the above, the answer is NO! The only thing that we can do as members of the Assembly of Christ, lovers of the gospel that brings liberty, is to challenge their zeal by also getting Bibles to as many people as we can, especially the poorest of the poor.
Just over a month back, I was praying and found myself praying so earnestly for Bibles for God’s precious people. This came after a relatively educated woman wondered when I said Elisha’s dead and dry bones rose someone from the dead. She did not have a Bible. The moment I saw the wonderment on her face, I developed a yearning for Bibles for the people like her and prayed to God for this provision. When I finished praying, my brother and partner in the gospel, Tom Henry Barasa, took up and prayed for long with many tears. About two weeks later, I posted a photo of one of our simple churches, and to my amazement, my friend Clark Wade from the Crescent City in California
Your Brother,
Jimmy Nduruchi.
Yes dear brother. There is an epic battle for the hearts and minds of the people of Africa. While Islam is growing at an alarming rate, this does not take our God by surprise. I thank Him that He is raising up His standard in Kenya and drawing people to Him by signs and wonders and the purest joy of knowing Him as our All in All. How I rejoice at each report brother that you send of what our Redeemer is doing in Kenya. And yet my heart aches for the absence of bibles in the hands of the poor among you who are so hungry for more and more of Jesus Christ and His precious Word. How we need to pour the fuel of the scriptures on this flame in Kenya until it spreads beyond all borders or obstacles. A MIGHTY FLAME of God's Spirit, enthusing and infusing the hearts of the people open to the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ while confusing the wiles and strategyms of the enemy of God in the land of Africa.
ReplyDeleteI lost the password to this blog and therefore can no longer make any posts. I am revisiting this hoping I can have it posted. This is prophetic and makes sense esp with the continued terrorist attacks over Kenya. The zeal that the LORD planted in my heart 2 years ago was the right one. Our young men are turning to Islam and being used to kill their own countrymen. Islam is spreading like bushfire in Kenya and in Africa by extension. Something has to be done URGENTLY. We must all RISE UP and challenge their zeal. We are the Lord's hands and feet, and His obligation upon us will never go down. The LORD has sent us, we must respond and get moving.
