The Jesus of Kenyan Politics and The Constitution Making Process by Dan Kidha | Papers by Dan

The Jesus of Kenyan politics is a vote-wealthy mythological figure whose favours are aroused by the mere pronunciation of his name. It seems that a misreading of the gospel “whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you… ask and you will receive…” (John 16:23b – 24 ESV) has become a “salvation” to many.
“The name of the Lord is truly a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10 ESV) is undoubtedly, a proposition of truth. However, only the righteous find salvation in this name. The salvation is not a political, social or economic, even though it has implications to these aspects of life. This salvation is specifically spiritual and counts for eternity.
