Even under the circumstances at hand we must purpose to reflect God and all He stands for. If we give up and cease being God’s ambassadors, then we will have failed Him, the one we are supposed to live for. Then the world will not see Him in us and despair will overcome the people. So let us be the light wherever He allows us to shine. Luke 11:33-36.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the circumstances surrounding you? The question then is what sort of foundation stone is your life built on? If it is built on your successes or dreams, then your life cannot be stable. But if you make the Messiah your cornerstone, then you will not be shaken, neither will you be dismayed, as Isaiah 28:16 says.

The assurance that my life is in God’s hands gives me peace. Whether I go through a challenge or he allows me to experience difficulty to keep me humble and hungry for Him, I will have peace, not because I can withstand the trial in my strength, rather, because He sustains me. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10.

Now, how blest can one be? In 2 Kings 8:1-6, we encounter the woman whose son had been raised from the dead through Elisha. This time she needed her land restored back to her. As she went to see the king about it, he and Gehazi, the prophet’s servant, were talking about her miracle. The king was moved by her testimony and granted her her wish plus a bonus, all the wages her land had gotten since she left! I am praying that we too shall be able to testify of the Lord’s goodness over and over again. That there will be enough evidence to justify our praise and worship. Amen.

That this pandemic is devastating even the most established nations baffles many and it shows us that sometimes, it doesn’t matter how established one is. On the other hand, if such nations cannot contain it, then it will take the hand of God to stop it. May the Lord have mercy and use this situation to show He is God, because only He can rescue us. Micah 4:1-13.

So we shall continue to have faith and to intercede, even as we await the physical manifestation of the victory of God over the plagues and challenges that confront us. We shall give thanks in anticipation and remain hopeful, because He who promised is faithful. Romans 12:9-13.

The task at hand for the government, citizens, security personnel and health care workers is no mean feat, considering the potency of the Corona virus. This thought made me become desperate before the Lord, because He is able to spare us the tragedy that has befallen many other nations. I will cry out to Him like Bartimaeus did in Mark 10:46-52. The blind man did not relent until he got the attention of the Master. Let us cry out to God on behalf of Kenya, Africa and the world.

It is one thing to call the body of Christ and the nation to repentance. It is another thing to determine how I will live as an individual going forward. A good example is found in Joshua 24:1-15. He led the nation in renewing their covenant with God, but he also made a decision for himself and his household. There is no doubt that we need to repent as a nation considering what is going on around us. But what’s your decision as an individual concerning how you want to live from now on considering where we are coming from and the calamities that have befallen us?

So, in light of the situation we are in, how should I position myself as a child of God? What should my disposition be? My prayer is that the current circumstances would cause us as Kenyans to consider our ways and desire a change of heart. Firstly, may we seek the Lord and find Him in the midst of all that’s happening. Secondly, may we allow Him to work in us leading to renew our minds so that our values may change to reflect His. May our outlook on life change. May we begin to understand and appreciate His will for us. May our hearts of stone be replaced by hearts of flesh that He can mould. May greed and the desire for the material not be our default setting. May compassion for the things of God and His people be our priority. Amen. Matthew 5:3-10.

In Exodus 17:1-7, the people of Israel had driven Moses to the wall with their complaints. Their faith had dwindled due to the hardships they experienced and they mumbled against God and wanted to return to slavery. As a country, we are past mumbling and feeling entitled, I hope. I hope we realise how low we have sunk to attract such calamities as covid-19 and locusts. We corrupt without flinching, we engage in the worst forms of idolatry and immorality, we murder for pleasure or wealth and power, we enslave for pleasure. Yet God is willing to cleanse us and take us in to Himself, but only if we are willing to let go of the filth. The Lord heard the cry of Israel and gave them water, then manna, then meat, victory in countless battles and finally led them to the land of promise. Israel’s greatness can be traced to such humble beginnings. Are we willing to sincerely cry out to Him and to forsake our wily ways? Is our cry of repentance genuine?
