After Church I came home and turned on the TV to listen to a sermon by one famous Kenyan preacher.
It begun with the famous “This is my Bible… I am what it says I am…”
The Topic is ‘Power of God’s Word’
The text is Luke 1:26 – 39, with a particular emphasis on v37 during the reading ‘For nothing will be impossible with God.’
Intro:
“The word of God is powerful.”
“God confronts every disorder in your life with an order from his mouth.”
“The word of God talks about prosperity. Though you who is watching may not like that word but it’s what the word of God says.” He then goes ahead to quote a number of passages that ‘supports’ what he’s saying:
- Psalm 35:27b- “The Lord be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant.”
- Psalm 37:25- “I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.”
- 2 Cor. 9:8 (though he said 1 Cor.)- “And God is able to make all grace abound in you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
- 4:19- “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”
- 3 John 2- “Beloved, I pray above all things that you may prosper and be in good health, even as your soul prospers.”
[Context, Context, Context… was totally ignored here.]
“You see poverty is not a sign of humility. There are many poor people who are very proud.” [I totally agree with this]
“The plan of God is for you to live a good life. Christ took the curse when he died on the cross, for it’s written ‘cursed is he who earns on a tree.’ Christ took that curse so that you may be blessed. There’s no one who is cursed here. All of you are blessed.”
“He says you shall be the head not the tail.”
“God’s word is powerful, whatever he says happens. I am wearing a black jacket but when God looks at it and says yellow, that’s it… it’s yellow… it changes. It’s yellow in God’s eyes… are you with me?” [Ok, I wasn’t with him at this point, I was still struggling with this black-yellow-jacket-thingy]
“It’s the word of God that matters. It’s not what I say, don’t listen to my every word… have the word of God.” [I got lost a bit here… should I listen to you or not??]
40 Minutes Later:
“Let me now go to the text quickly”
“God sent his angel to Mary. I can’t preach unless am sent. How can they hear unless someone is sent? Just as the angel was sent to Mary, I am sent to you. I can’t preach unless I am sent.” [Mmmmh!]
“The word says that 1000 shall fall on your side, 10000 on your right hand but it shall not come near you. Power of the Word- even AIDS shall not come near you.”
“He is able to heal AIDS, even cancer. ‘He sent his word & healed your disease.’ This what you need to hear.” [Wololo!!!!]
“Just as he sent his angel to Mary, he’s sent me (as his angel) to you. He’s sent me to tell you that there’s no sickness/condition that has plagued you that God can’t reverse.”
“He’s sent me to tell you that there’s no sickness that he can’t heal. He sent his word & it healed their condition.”
“He’s sent me to tell you that he’s going to turn your situation around.”
“He’s sent me to tell you that the wealth of the wicked is going to be released into your hand.” [I am so nervous here… I don’t want that ‘wealth of the wicked’]
“The angel said to Mary ‘’you are favoured among women.’ It can be anyone but it is you. Just as the Lord sent the angel to Mary, he’s sent me to prophesy favour to you.”
“Favour isn’t deserved. Favour isn’t earned, you don’t qualify for it.” [what is it?]
“Favour will give you a cheque written in USD”
“Get ready to build a house in a place you never thought you would.”
“Get ready to drive a car of your dreams.”
“Favour will do it all.”
“You are favoured among women. What you are about to carry in this season shall be great… just like Mary.” [By this time am totally lost]
“Mary then asks ‘How shall it be since I do not know a man?’ I am not connected, I don’t know people! It’s not about who you know, it’s about what God is doing.”
“I decree that what men can’t do, God will do. I prophesy that where there’s disconnection, they shall be connection.”
“I come as an angel to decree promotions, abundance, overflow… can I get an Amen.” [The congregants were on their feet throughout the whole sermon & he had to tell them to sit down at least twice.]
“Joseph is irrelevant in what God is about to do. [This is serious ‘mis-preaching’ if there’s such a word.] The bankers, the oncologists, are all irrelevant. This thing shall not be about who you know.”
“In your walk with God, you must come to a time where man disappoints. God will cause men to disappoint… that’s the time when God shall step in. Where men have disappointed you, that shall be God’s appointment.” [where does this come from?]
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you. I sense the Holy Ghost walking on your situation. *Rababoboshaka*”
“When the Holy Spirit starts to move, this is the result *calls Fidel- name withheld (one of the pastors) for everyone to see him & witness what the Holy Spirit can do*”
“Tell your neighbour ‘This is not your auntie, your uncle, or the politician, or the person you know. This time it shall be the hand of God.’”
Conclusion:
“I prophesy as I come to an end that you shall carry that miracle- that baby. And Mary said ‘Let it be according to your word.’ I decree according to the word of God that you shall get that tender, that contract that was cancelled shall be yours. I cancel death (you shall not die but live to see the goodness of God in the land of the living). I cancel that cancer, I cancel that cirrhosis… even if you are in the ICU, I declare that you shall live… shout yeah!”
Then in conclusion “If you are watching on TV and you are not saved, say this prayer…” [Oh dear, what exactly is this prayer about? In response to what?]

It breaks my heart that this is the stuff majority of Christians consume week in week out. Lord, raise labourers for the work indeed is ripe but the workers are few.
It breaks my heart too….!! And how sad it is that some took this to be the truth and nothing but the truth.
The sermon does not have any of those C’s. It’s a shame that the whole sermon is about me and all the things i can get from God, rather than about God! The preacher seems to be appealing to the non believers to come to God for them to get favors from him. So sad!
This is indeed sad….And people flock in numbers where such messages are preached. It’s sad….We get saved to receive God(the Giver) not things!
Wow, laughed all through but it’s sad that many of the preachers today have this same trend. Preaching everything they feel like, but the gospel. I’ve realized just how only a few people have received the truth. Many remain bound in sin but are not helped. There is still hope i believe though i may not really explain how it will be.

Friends, thanks for your comments. It’s interesting how many have bought into such kind of ‘preaching’
Mark you, this is bishop Allan Kiuna of JCC Parklands live on KTN Tv.
Hahahahaha….you are breaking my ribs! Sorry about my laughter but the reality is that ‘Vultures will gather where there is carcass’ [paraphrased] Matt 24:28. Why are we giving this guy attention that he does need?
Felix. Dude, this is serious stuff!!!
To add another twist, during the notices, they have a presenter doing it… like a TV News Anchor will do. But what surprised me was, in the middle of the notices, an advert comes on “You can now Fly, with Jambo Jet” and am huh, commercial break!
rooooo-bish. In fact, totally against our Lord Jesus.
keep up the work you faithful preachers. don’t you ever ever get sidetracked into false teaching or personal agendas. Your people need you!
Its sad as most Christians will see nothing wrong with that sermon.By the time I was finishing I had forgotten the title
sooooo saaaaad
