President William Ruto donated another 20 million shillings to the churc

President William Ruto donated another 20 million shillings to the church during the service at the AIC Fellowship Annex Church in Eldoret. And that is strange! The church in Kenya is not poor, but the believers, the donors, are poor, but they have to save this money from food. Here is a good example: former President Uhuru Kennyatta founded a church, and this church is now worth US$ 50 million. It is a good place to live! There is a pastor who lives in luxury. Owning a church in Kenya is a good business. The church had already raised 10 million shillings last week during a fundraising campaign. Ruto, the good man, doubled the amount and donated 20 million shillings to complete the construction of the church by the end of the year. The President also donated a similar amount to the Jesus Winners Ministry in Nairobi last week. Ruto said that by the grace of God and as the leader of the country, his actions were guided by the teachings of the Bible. Who can believe that? The teachings of the Bible, where does it say that protesters can be shot! Where does it say that people are starving and the president is amassing wealth of about US$500 million. Perhaps he has not read the entire Bible. The phrase "they do not sow, they do not reap, and yet God feeds them" refers to Bible verses that emphasize God's care for creation. Matthew 6:26 says, "Look at the birds of the air: they do not sow, they do not reap, they do not gather into barns; and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more precious than they?" Similarly, Luke 12:24 speaks of ravens: "Look at the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have neither store nor barn, and yet God feeds them." These verses encourage one to trust in God's provision and not to worry unnecessarily. Ruto is not God, so he is not to be trusted! The church has a significant influence on the political landscape of Kenya. It actively participates in political discussions and speaks out on important issues such as corruption, human rights and social justice. Ruto knows what he has in the church. He knows that he needs the church to control the people. That is why he also vowed to continue to support the building of churches despite strong criticism of the huge donations. Ruto has recognised that there is a great controversy in the country about donations to churches. "There is controversy because Satan has become so arrogant in this country. "Very arrogant," said Ruto. You only have to know who has become arrogant, or who Satan is, then this sentence is true. And Ruto continued to quote from the book of Daniel 11:32: "He who knows his God will be strong and do great things." Apparently he does not know his God, why should he? Ruto has not done any great things yet, nor will he do them. He thinks that if he donates to the church, then God will send him enlightenment. Despite the resistance, God will be known in Kenya. A church every 100 meters! God is not known in Kenya, it is the churches that are known. It is not enough to go around and proclaim: "I am a Christian!" There is more to being a Christian than that. Ruto said the resistance to giving to God and building churches is driven by people who do not believe in God. It is not that simple, but he says this to break the resistance. God must take the blame for all sins. He does so without complaint. When everything goes to hell, then God must take the blame. It is just an expression of the fact that there is nothing left to say.  He also said that as he is the leader of Kenya, the country will know God and believe in him. For me, a president is not a leader, he is a servant of his people. Whether a president is considered a "leader" depends greatly on the political structure and powers of the country. In presidential systems such as the United States, the president is both head of state and head of government and is often seen as a leader14. In parliamentary systems, such as Germany, the president is mainly a representative head of state with no executive power5. The term "leader" implies a strong leader, which is more common in presidential systems. Ruto said the country's youth face challenges such as drug abuse, alcoholism and immorality, so it is necessary to strengthen the churches as moral leaders. Now he is going after the youth. Bad people, these young people. All addicted to drugs, drinking and smoking weed their way through life. Here, too, he is trying to distract from his failure. 70 percent of the youth are unemployed. It was a promise from him to create jobs, instead of sending the youth abroad. Only one thing is important here: get out of Kenya, whoever is away doesn't cause problems! Ruto reiterated that he will stand firm to help the country move forward. Here is a quick look at the church in Kenya. The church in Kenya is an important part of Kenyan society. About 70% of the Kenyan population are Christians. The largest Christian denominations are the Anglican and Catholic churches. There are also a growing number of evangelical and Pentecostal churches. The Roman Catholic Church in Kenya has a long history dating back to the 15th century. It plays an important role in the country's education and health care system. The Anglican Church of Kenya is part of the Anglican Communion. It also has a large influence in Kenya. In addition to Christianity, there is also a significant Muslim minority in Kenya (about 20%). A smaller proportion of the population practices traditional African religions. Churches in Kenya often play an important role in promoting peace and social justice.   They also influence political decisions. Despite their influence, churches in Kenya also face challenges, including internal conflict, allegations of corruption, and competition from new religious movements. Nevertheless, they remain an important part of social life in Kenya.
