Unga lazma utafutwe kaka.




So......high school.

Got 'saved' in form 1 first term... jumped ship at the end of the term.

My first brush with charismania was in high school, sema weekend challenge or was it challenge weekend.
screaming preacher after screaming preacher, very emotional and loud 'praise and worship'... sema speaking in tongues!

I was in high school around the time when there was supposed 'devil worship' at Nairobi School, some chap had been worshiping the devil by the poolside or so the story went...We had our own suspected devil worshiper as well... sema watu wa tae kwo ndo lol

Ok so i 'Got Saved' (dont like using that terminology) in my fourth year in campus.... i was alone when it happened...(story for another day).
Until then i was your regular beer chugging, cigarette smoking(kubwa na ndogo), tobacco chewing, womanizing,clubbing, deluded young Kenyan.

I was later introduced and started attending a respected Pentecostal church.. being Pentecostal, tongue speaking and mood music were not frowned upon. everything was honky dory until one day a sermon or rather a story that i found very very strange was preached, i dont remember it verbatim but it went something like this...

The preacher was talking about a friend of hers in the UK to whom a very miraculous thing happened.
She had been praying about financial issues, she then went to either a church or a convention and gave an offering or was prayed concerning this.

The part i remember kabisa is that when she later went home, her whole house was filled with "british pounds" all the cupboards, the fridge, every nook and cranny of the house had cash!
This of course being God's apparent answer to her prayers. - Pressed down shaken together and running over
The police came or were called in when neighbors reported screaming... she was asked to explain where the money came from... etc

This came from the mouth of a very very respected lady elder of the church!

I wondered for a long time weather she had been lied to, was lying herself or has an extremely vivid imagination.

I turned to scripture... i found no evidence of God oversupplying anything to anyone as an answer to prayer.

The only place you see an oversupply is in exodus where God responding to the Israelite's grumbling over the monotony of manna were given so much quail that it came out of their nostrils... and this was given out of Gods wrath and disappointment as he then swiftly punished them.

This was the beginning...
