UNITED WE WIN DIVIDED THEY RULE

The saying may be common to many of us as “united we stand divided fall”, but I have twisted it a bit, I will tell you why.

Though we are different in terms of tribe, social status, politically. We are very different in many things but there is one distinct feature that we all share, ‘We are all Kenyans’.

To me Kenya means a lot; Kenya is Peace, Kenya is Love, Kenya is good leadership, Kenya is being concerned of my neighbour’s wellbeing. Kenya is helping one another whether in trouble or happy moments.

Most of the time we Kenyans have let our differences rule us, for instance in the 2007 – 2008 post-election violence, I was dismayed. I hated being a Kenyan, what I saw was a series of killings, bloodshed, burning buildings and farms. The person who was your neighbour a few days ago turned to be the bitter enemy. We were divided tribally and politically. I saw human beings turning to beasts to the extent of burning a church where people were seeking refuge and praying for peace, the fear of God had lost.

The day we Kenyans we‘ll be united as KENYANS, one tribe no differences, that will be the beginning of change.

During the Post-election violence

This is the day we will win over our enemies we shall trample over them. Love will be our strength, peace and justice will be our constitution, terrorism will go down in history. But if let ourselves be divided in tribal terms, politically or according to our religions, then the Great Enemy is there waiting to rule and implement all evil manifestos he has.

I will be proud and glad to leave in Kenya where love is the order of the day, where our leaders both political and religious will be in one accord and respect one another. A Kenya where all tribe live in love and peace and care for each other as one great family. A Kenya where my neighbour is my neighbour whether in happy times or in hard times.

The biggest enemy is ready to dispense hatred, jealous, despair, fight, injustice, fear and terror to Kenyans.

We can and we will win over this enemy only if we put God in the first place and take Him at His word, “Love your neighbour as yourself” and “do unto others as you would like them do to you”.
#KENYANS WE ARE ONE.
