Awhile back I lost my former pastor to Covid 19,though I hadn’t seen him in years, I still had so many questions for God because he was young and vibrant man of God. As Kenyans we really love and honor pastor’s it’s only that they often let us down but even those who are not practicing Christians hold pastor’s in a place of honor. In Kenya people as sinful as they may be look up to God. Can you imagine how a prostitute or a thief can pray to God for success before going out to their nefarious activities?
Today a general has fallen by the name of Bishop Mercy Waciama. I may not have known her in person but I know how her congregation is feeling because I felt it when I received news of my former pastor succumbing to Covid I did my best to understand why but I never got the answers. We were close because he was my pastor and even when I moved away I still held him in a special place in my heart. A spiritual father or mother is a very dear person. I still think of my pastor in Malindi and sometimes I remember them with alot of nostalgia. A pastor ni mtu wa maana sana. So I pray for peace and comfort for those directly affected by the death of mama General Bishop Mery Waciama. Indeed precious in God’s sight is the death of His saints. We loved her but God loved her more. I pray for comfort for her family. A mom is a crucial person and it’s not easy to lose her. Mum rest in eternal glorious presence of Jesus.
