I arrived safely late Monday evening around 9:30 PM.  My good friend Baraza was there to meet me at the airport.  This was the fastest trip through Visa and Customs.  I am traveling with several blankets for a Christian Orphanage in Bungoma about 45 minutes from Eldoret.  I will be hosting 5 students and 2 adult chaperones when they are on the AIU campus on Thursday and Friday this week.  I also brought 2 laptops, some jump drives, and a Wireless Power over Ethernet Switch for the IT Department.

I wanted to share with you the daily devotion from "Mornings with Tozer" as I found it very relevant to this trip.

Too Timid to Resist

Speak every man truth with his neighbour; for we are members one of another. Ephesians 4:25

The clever proponents of evil political ideologies are spending millions to make us Americans ashamed to love our country. They use every means possible to persuade our own people that there is little left worth defending and certainly nothing worth dying for.

They are building in the public mind a picture of an American as a generous, tolerant, smiling chap who loves baseball and babies, and who subscribes wholly to the doctrine of the brotherhood of man—so everything is going to be all right!

From our point of view, these concepts are having their effects on the nation's religious life, especially among Protestants.

Let a man rise to declare the unique lordship of Jesus Christ and the absolute necessity of obedience to Him, and he is at once branded as a hatemonger and a divider of men.

The devil has brainwashed large numbers of religious leaders so successfully that they are now too timid to resist him! And he, being the kind of devil he is, takes swift advantage of their cowardice, erecting altars to Baal everywhere!

Lord, I pray that You will raise up a new generation of religious and political leaders who are full of integrity and who are not ashamed to honor You before men.

Mornings with Tozer.

*********************************************************

We would not endorse Christians as political leaders.

It doesn’t fit.

We are citizens of the heavenly country.

We certainly do say Amen to declaring the unique lordship of Jesus Christ  and the necessity of obedience to Him!
