ROLLING BACK THE YEARS...

Hey y'all, do u believe that miracles still do happen? I never knew for sure if they even happened. Am talking about the kind of miracles that Jesus performed in his time like healing the sick and changing water into wine.

If i told you today i know of a place you can come and see miracles happen for yourself, would you consider coming? Well this Sunday i got such invitation. It was very early in the morning when my mother called me to join her at the historic Uhuru park. I was quite hesitant at first, one because it was too early for me to wake up and two, because i didn't believe any miracles still happened.

I could not turn down such an invitation though so i made my way to Uhuru park in Nairobi. I have always been a great believer in what i see with my own eyes so i really wanted to see. There was a national prayer day for Kenyans, focusing on repentance and forgiveness. The main purpose was to repent so that Kenya would not witness the kind of violence that took place during the post election violence. i have never seen Kenyans more united.

The meeting was being hosted by Dr. prophet David Owuor. All the eight presidential candidates were invited. If you know anything about the recent animosities between some of these candidates then you would have been forgiven to suggest they couldn't share a podium let alone show solidarity and commit to peace.

That sadly is not the miracles am talking about. What i witnessed was akin to the biblical times miracles. Lately i had been reading a book titled 'Do miracles really happen..' The book argues that the miracles performed by Jesus were no magic. They really did happen. moreover Jesus did them in public for all to see. Healing of the sick and feeding people on two fish and five loaves is no illusion. Actually when Jesus was arrested he was asked in whose name he performed these miracles and not questions on the authenticity of the miracles. This is because they really did happen.

On Sunday i saw a blind boy regain sight. He was a boy of ten who was born blind and now he could see. This was in the full glare of the public. Thousands of people had thronged the venue to witness healing and repentance. This was a three day meeting that started on Friday all through to Sunday. I am actually told the day for healing was a Saturday. I missed that but reliable sources indicates over twenty people were healed. If that is not a miracle then i don't know what is......

Good day happy people. May God bless you in all the good things you do today.

STILL THE PRETTIEST AT THE BALL....

Hello folks......i am almost embarrassed of my last posting on this blog. I was talking like a real fan who was hoping something magical would happen. How naive i was, stars don't change their shape in the sky overnight. Deep down i was hoping to be proven right but i guess fate had its own agenda. Sometimes its really hard to take but i guess i, just like every Arsenal fan out there will have to hope for the best in Munich.

Belief is something we all need to have. It is the last thing we cling on when the curtains are about to come down on us. I am a great believer in the underdogs. Not only Arsenal but life in general. There is no greater satisfaction than knowing you have been written off by almost everyone and yet you conjure something majestic to get everyone back on board. Believing again. This is going against the status quo.

When you have your back against the wall, when the fat lady is about to sing and when all hope is gone, what do you do? The simple answer is to quit. To give up and admit defeat. Almost everyone is happy when you succumb to failure. I can tell you that is the easy way out. You and i should be worth more than that. We are kings of comeback.

There is no one who knows you better than you. That is why you and you alone decide when you go home. You get to decide when the curtains will fall, you call the shots and declare the show over. No one should decide this for you. to fail when knowing fully well that you gave it your best is an acceptable failure. You might even feel good because you gave it your best.

People are declared champions when they do something extraordinary. Something no one expected of them. Good people are happy to believe in someone when things are great but there is always that element of fear that things will go wrong and you will eventually let them down. Their actions in this case will be justified. This is because you are the one to give them reason to believe. You are meant to inspire them. The confidence oozing from you will automatically radiate to them.

I hope you have been inspired by this post. Believe until there is no hope left. In short, you are still the prettiest at the ball, don't let the next queen of prom steal your shine. Tell her to wait her turn. Be the last to leave the party.
good day happy people.

CHAMPIONS

Today Arsenal will take on Bayern Munich in the UEFA champions league.  Many have written off arsenal's chances. I am a strong Arsenal supporter but on current form i don't blame those who are quick to criticize them. How did they lose that game against Blackburn, you wonder? Before the game if i told you Blackburn would beat Arsenal at the Emirates would you have believed me? 

In the same case Arsenal are touted as the underdogs. For some its a lost battle. Not for me though. Champions are not made when no one is watching but in full view of the public. When the stakes are high and the pressure is mounting a champion steps up. The saviour of the team stands up to be counted.

This is the same case with football players. Magical nights like the champions league only comes once in a while for these players. What better way to step up than on a chilly night in Landon.  The pressure is at its peek and the fans are looking for that one person who will write the history books.

The funny thing about history is that you never know when great history will be written  that is why every single day you wake up you should offer your best to whatever your doing. Great history does not sometimes appear great at the time of writing. Its only when its in the past that one realizes what a great achievement he has made.

That goal Danny welbeck scored in Madrid is one for the history books. Right now its just another goal scored by a youngster at Madrid, but i can tell you years to come it will be a reference point. 

What better way to write history than with your back against the wall. Go go arsenal....
