“President William Ruto says he is God chosen. According to the fifth President of the Republic of Kenya, there is no leader who is elected by mistake. “There is no leader who is elected by mistake, God sees us through,” said the President on June 18, 2023 while speaking at a church service in Kakamega County” (Sammy Waweru – ‘Ruto: God chose me for the presidency’ 18.06.2023).
When you make yourself godly or think yourself in ways of the deity. That’s when the alarm bell should ring. There is a divine power and a transcendent force in the world. An almighty God who intervenes and acts on his own behalf. However, I would be careful to say either this or that is his act. Especially, when you are not anointed for church leadership or anything like that.
That’s why I have to take this story from the bible today. It is so compelling and has to be used. Because it is fitting.
Just read it… and digest it.
“18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” 21 “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”” (Matthew 22:18-21, New International Version).
Ruto put GOD into GOVERNMENT. When the son of God said that he should separate the state and lords work. There was a difference between the holy and the earthly. I am not shocked by this, because I studied it and has understood this fact. However, leaders like Ruto dismiss this.
It sounds grand to be elected or selected by God. It is like his King David or something alike. Nevertheless, there will never be any proof of this. Most likely the moment that matters happened at Bomas and not in Heaven. It was most likely the algorithms and the pre-pared numbers-game, which ensured his “election”. However, with that in mind… you are giving God credit when your appointees and hired “guns” delivered the goods for you. These are the people that worked for Caesar and not the almighty.
The IEBC wasn’t a mere outpost or diaspora of the Vatican. No, it is a government entity and the government his running isn’t a ministry either. Even if the First Lady is working on her Faith Diplomacy and Prayer Ministries. However, there is a difference between church and the State House. That is something anyone knows and should respect.
Ruto can believe himself that god intervened and anointed him. However, he is the Caesar that Jesus mentioned. His the one that is on posters and pictured as the leader. That who he is… and he got to accept that.
I will give back what is Ruto’s but I will not act like it is Gods. That is insincere and blasphemous… and I don’t want to dwell on that. Peace.
