Looking for somebody who loves you? Look my way!

If you’re looking for somebody who loves You Won't You look my way, look my way...

Do you sometimes get out of bed in the morning and a tune starts playing over and over in your mind as you prepare for the day? Today it is this song by Lenny LeBlanc that won't go away.

Someone once told me to always sing out (in the shower of course) the song I wake up with. He tried to convince me that it really is my inner-self waking up to pray or praise much like how birds spontaneously chirp at the coming dawn. I don’t know how true this is because sometimes I wake up with the last catchy tune I heard in a matatu playing Classic FM.

Funny thing that today I don’t feel particularly enthusiastic about this beautiful song playing in my mind. Why?

Well, I think the lyrics place a subtle demand on us to love God in an unmistakable way. This I know I have not done well today. Can you imagine telling a girl, "If you are looking for somebody to love you, you just need to look my way" Kujiamini nayo?

You see, I woke up at 4.15 am and felt that I should get out of bed and pray. Instead I rolled over and convinced myself that I needed to be fresh for the busy day ahead. Of course a little guilt had started creeping in but I quickly perished the thought as I dug deeper into the warm bed. An hour or so later I woke up to this song that woos God to 'look my way' if he is looking for somebody to love him. How is that now? It didn’t help matters much that I also woke up thinking of John 14:23

If anyone loves me, they will obey me....

Maybe I am misinterpreting this whole song and bible passage but who knows? However, I must confess that I love the way the song proceeds;

I don't have many things to offer; Just a passion for You. Every day I get a little bit closer...

Lord I want to give glory and honor to your name. I just want to see your mighty power fall like rain. Lord You have my heart, You have my soul...

Strive for a guilt-free week folks.

Benny Hinn _My Testimony

Why Benny Hinn? Someone asked me this question last week. Today let me endeavor to give you the background story to this, as a member of the organizing secretariat. Sometime last year, a group of servants of God was praying, seeking the face of God as to why the foretold revival in Kenya seemed never to really come, and even the massive crusades we used to have at Uhuru Park seemed to have quietly fizzled out. It was obvious also that there were no megachurches in Kenya and any servant of God who tried rising was hit with scandal after scandal. Why? Our preachers never really get invited to top platforms internationally, our Gospel musicians are mostly only local while Nigeria, Tz, even Rwanda are shaking the continent. The Lord answered them. Our grievous sin had closed the heavens over us. And this sin was how we, as a nation, had treated the servants of God who had been sent here with these graces. They all left in tears, shaking dust off their feet at Kenya. Pst Benny Hinn came t...

How I Received My First False Prophecy For 2024-Part I

At the turn of every year, we have a long-standing family tradition of sitting down to flip through T.V. channels. We watch various ministers and performers with different groups of people ushering in the new year in style (with my wife- the children now prefer to be outside blasting those darn fireworks) . However, even after years of midnight sofa-slouching, I still can’t decide who between the ministers and the performers say the most outrageous things. For some reason, the moment seems to turn every charismatic minister worth his salt into some kind of prophet. Pastors, evangelists, apostles, and even the odd comedian feel compelled to utter a 'word' or two for the new year. Often, t hese 'prophetic moments' are highly charged interludes with MOGs & WOGs (Men & Women Of God) giving 'ecstatic utterance' as their listeners rapturously respond with 'Amen!' and ‘I receive!’ This is all good and okay. The problem, however, is that these pr...

DIY ToolBox-Resist the Devil -1

James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. Working from home has been quite the experience- a daily assortment of work, unexpected interruptions, swinging emotions, impossible moments and very rarely, rest. In this mix I find the children’s uninhibited impulses and dialogs to be the most poignant. My son, after watching cartoon versions of Mr. Bean, insists on following me as I go for my daily ‘quiet-time’ walks. To be clear though, he does not actually follow me, and neither are my walks quiet. Instead he keeps walking into my path as he gives a word for word running commentary of the clips he has watched. I am not quite sure why it is important for...
