The stage was set, the media was awash with news of Pope John Paul II (his soul rest in peace) visit to Kenya. A visit that that was not only spectacular but prophetic. The journey started in Cameroon, then South Africa and finally Kenya on September 18, 1995.
A few days to the Pope's arrival, I had a dream. A dream so real and profound yet full of mystery. I wanted to dismiss it just like many others before. But it kept ringing in my memory, a constant reminder that it there was some truth in it. I decided to write it down on a paper to ensure I do not loose the finer details.
The settings was a well tended garden, the grass looking so ever green. The trees danced rhythmically as the near still breeze blew across the garden. The scene was heavenly.
Suddenly the tranquility and serenity of the garden disappeared. A Mighty tornado invaded the garden and violently blew everything on the garden in all directions. I tried to look for some shelter but there was none to be found. There was destruction all over. I sensed a lot of the country's infrastructure had been destroyed and lives lost.
Deep down in my heart I sensed this had something to do with the forthcoming coming visit by the Pope - whether it was the timing of the visit or the visit itself I can't tell. As the tornado continued destroying everything standing on its way, I heard a voice say "THE ANSWER IS PRAYER" The answer to this destruction is PRAYER - the answer is prayer.
Several metres away, a meeting was taking place between President Daniel arap Moi and Pope John Paul II. The tornado caught them by surprise and both were looking for a solution to this sudden change of events. I sense of urgency engulfed me and a conviction to share what I had just heard. I reached out to a branch of one the tall trees in the garden and as if the tree knew what was in my heart, it lifted me up and brought me down to stand in front of the two gentlemen. Given the urgency of the situation there was no exchange of greetings, I went straight to deliver my message. I told them answer to all these destruction is prayer. Then the branch lifted me from their presence and the dream ended.
Three years later, in 1998 el nino rains hit Kenya. The destruction caused by the el nino rains was beyond any one's imagination. Is this what the dream meant? Maybe...but the message is still real and fresh in my mind "the answer is PRAYER."
This is a call for all believers in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wake up from your slumber and pray. The enemy is determined to destroy our country but the answer is prayer. Wage war in the spiritual realm, pull down the strongholds of the enemy. Our God has assured us that He will answer when we pray.
Joe 1:14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,
