Luke 4:24

And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

Matthew 10:41-42

He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

You mistake.

If you read carefully, you will notice that the common folk were not really against him. It was the priests and even among the priests, Nicodemus and Joseph were not.

Why were they calling him names? because He was calling it out as it was. Supposed 'men of god' were riding the wave on peoples backs.

From the first they had hated Him because He had exposed their hypocritical pretensions. He had torn aside the cloak of rigorous rites under which their moral deformity was hidden. The pure religion that He taught had condemned their hollow professions of piety. They finally passed an edict that any man who professed faith in Jesus should be cast out of the synagogue.

I thought you would mention Caiaphas and Annas as those who hated Him and called Him names.

Now about direct instructions, when He sent out his disciples He expressely told them not to carry anything, not even bread.

Nowadays, 'men of god' carry whole bakeries with them as it were. No sandals or staff only, they go with magari and not just magari but magari za nguvu. Money, well!

Now about Elijah that will require a whole exposition and if you are willing we can have it.

To tie in with Kysse contribution about Lazarus, He gave the elaborate reason why He raised up Lazarus and there is no need to second guess or to ask why.

Oh, and He raised up the widows son too and Jairus daughter! And at His death, graves were opened and 'many' bodies arose.

And if it is really about following Gods commands, I could mention a couple of commands believers want nothing to do with.

Kysse, was there anyone with an affliction that went to Jesus or was in the vicinity of Jesus and for some reason he did not, or failed to heal them? He didnt heal them all?

About prophets being accepted in his own country, there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

Presidents, prime ministers, governors, wazuans, plebeians all and sundry are all in agreement that Owour has the great power of God, just like they thought of Simon Magus.

I agree.Cannot judge as to whether or not he is a prophet..time will tell.But being pushed out of the road and being bullied by those security people.... .

As seen shopping in Nai today
Sema causing jam




Renowned man of God, prophet Dr Owuor caused a stir earlier today at harambee avenue after his flashy entourage sneaked its way into the city..

The controversial man of cloth, whose source of wealth has remained a big mystery, had gone for shopping at the nearby Ted Baker shop.

All the shoppers had to be evacuated from the renowned fashion store as Owuor made his way into the shop accompanied by heavy security. He bought lots and lots of expensive shoes and clothesAfter he exited the boutique, some devotees started kissing his feet and requesting for prayers.

He obliged and held a short prayer session before being chauffeured into his flashy fuel guzzler and sped off. #Magazetini

What nonsense this is! Instead of drawing people he's busy dispersing and scattering.Mscheew x 20 @ people kissing sweaty ordinary feet.
Jesus was followed by a multitude everywhere he went.He even stopped to buy them uuuuhm food.
Who taught owuor such bad manners?

Hii hapana roho mtakatifu but roho mtaka vitu.
