About that comment up there, wow! Then, ICT Village mag(www.ictvillage.com) says this is one of the blogs to watch out for. Al Kags, a WordPress blogger under the same name wrote the article. They are, by the way, competitors of the mag I work for E1 which was Kenya’s first ICT mag.

This is a message for Lumka Oliphant – I salute you my sister! I just received your article written in the Saturday Star dated, 14 December 2006, from a friend. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss, but thank you for writing about what so many people are thinking but too scared to talk about. Bless you.

Lukma Oliphant – Read your article in the opinion Saturday Star Dec 9 2006 and share your views. Your courage and stand on crime in this country needs to be commened. You are certainly the voice of millions of other citizens in this country who experience and scourge of crime on a daily basis. I truly admire your strength of character and determination not to take crime lightly in this beautiful country of ours. Keep up your valiant efforts in exposing the real situation of crime and I hope that the government will take note of it urgently. Ps. If you ever run for presidency, you will certainly have my vote.

Tremors in Kenya———-Repent
Panic has hit several parts of Nairobi and its environs as a result of mild tremors. Its sad that tremors and earthquakes get people unaware and nothing can be done to stop them. It is also said that no one can predict an earthquake, but I have doubt about this when it comes to prophesy.
Remember Dr. David Owuor a scientist turned prophet and televangelist. He featured in the media worldwide for predicting disasters. He predicted the Asian Tsunami, America’s Hurricane Katrina and Pakistan’s earthquake. In February he predicted that earthquake will hit Nairobi unless the country repents.
Could this be the beginning of that prophecy? If that is the case we should pray and repent our sins to avert a bigger calamity.
The government is now busy telling people to ignore prophecy (saying no one can predict earthquakes), while if the tremors were to repeat in violent frequencies they would be the first ones to call for National prayers after the damage is done.
I think the best thing is that we just repent of our sins whether Dr. Owuor was right or not furthermore we are not repenting to him but to God. If we repent and the tremors don’t reoccur, what do we lose? Nothing. But when we fail to repent and the tremor increase we lose property and lives.
Repent Kenyans .
May God help us.

I have dreams. I respond to those dreams and things come to pass. This is how God speaks to me. I had a dream, not sure how long ago, maybe 2 years. I’d have to check my journal for the exact date. This morning I did a search on ‘earthquake nairobi’ and can across this website. In my dream, the signal for the end of the earth was a massive earthquake in Nairobi. My church here in Newfoundland, Canada is planning another missions trip to Nairobi. That’s all I have to say on the matter for now.

DR DAVID AWORI IS NOT THE ONLY PROPHET IN KENYA AS HIS FOLLOWERS CLAIM. HE IS JUST BUT ONE OF THEM. CHRISTIAN LIFE IS NOT ALL ABOUT REPENTANCE ALONE. THE ARE MANY OTHER TEACHINGS. GOD DID NOT CALL PROPHET AWORI ALONE BUT ALSO TEACHERS, PASTORS, EVANGELISTS AND APOSTLES AND LAY LEADERS IN MANY OTHER AREAS OF SERVICE. DR DAVID AWORI TEACHES REBELLION TO CHRISTIANS AND NOT TO GIVE TO GIVE LOVE OFFERINGS COMMONLY KNOWN AS “SEED” OFFERING WHILE HE HIMSELF DEPENDS ON THE SEED TO POPULARIZE HIMSELF.
HE HAS NO HEAVEN TO TAKE PEOPLE TO AD RAPTURE IS NOT HERE GOD ONLY KNOWS RAPTURE WHEN IT WILL COME.H E IS BRAINWASHING PEOPLE ESPECIALLY IN RIFT VALLEY THROUGH JESUS IS LORD RADIO.

PROPHET AWORI HAS NEVER CLAIMED TO BE THE ONLY PROPHET,NEITHER HAS HE CLAIMED TO BE HAVING HIS OWN HEAVEN. OF COURSE THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROPHETS AND OTHER SERVANTS OF GOD WITH VARIED GIFTS.GOD HAS GIVEN HIM A MESSAGE OF REPENTANCE, AND THAT IS WHAT HE IS PREACHING, WHICH IS PERFECTLY IN ORDER.REPENTANCE IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PART OF CHRISTIAN LIFE, TO SAY THE LEAST! CHURCHES HAVE ABUSED OFFERINGS TO MAKE BUSINESS. THANK GOD DR. AWORI IS CHECKING ALL THIS. I WOULD RATHER PEOPLE LISTEN TO THIS SERVANT OF GOD, THAN DO THE CONTRARY.

Dears friends,
I was delighted to get the list of your emails and I am very pleased to be able to write to you when the memories of our days together in Nairobi are still fairly fresh. I would like to begin by thanking you all for your whole-hearted participation in what was a demanding, but very rewarding programme. I was very impressed by the quality of your participation; by your attention to lectures and inputs, by the insightful nature of your questions and by the outcomes from the work-groups. I look forward to receiving the final version of the closing statement which I am confident will bring together all the fruits of your reflection and discussion.
More important in many ways than the formal outcomes of the Workshops, however, was the wonderful spirit of communion and solidarity that we experienced together and I hope we can create a forum that will allow us to maintain something of that sense of togetherness. I would like to invite you to use this group email facility to post any comments you might have about the Workshop and how we might follow up on it. We would also love to know about the various communications projects and activities that you are engaged with in your home countries and how your involvement in the Workshop might have impacted there.
I would like to let you know about an initiative of this Council which is addressed in particular to young people like you. To highlight the Pope’s message for World Communications Day, we launched a new website – http://www.pope2you.net – where you will find a range of materials related to the message, including “e-cards” with images of pope Benedict and short quotations. I would invite you to share this material with your friends: with your help, the message of the Pope could reach many young people who might not otherwise hear of it.
I will be in touch again soon to let you know about our different projects and plans. For now, I would like to wish each of you and your families every grace and blessing. I ask you to keep me in your prayers.
+ Claudio Maria Celli
President
Pontifical Council for Social Communications
