Memorable Speech by Idi Amin

-
Dear #CrownPrince....
WoW, what a week it has been my dear.

The highlight for this week is that you are now singing a prayer.... that warms my heart. May God continually increase you and shield you.

So today, i thought some humor would go a loooooong way and bring some smiles and sunshine to you. Many moons ago, before the era of mobile phones, Facebook, Twitter and a lot more technology.....a time when fax and Post Office Box (P.O.Box era) were actually functional and classy, there was a man named Idi Amin. 

Idi Amin is remembered as a dictator in Uganda during his reign. He is also remembered for a speech he gave the queen while in London many years back. Today i share that speech with you for two reasons:
  1. To remind you that education and knowledge are two different things, and each of them is very very important.
  2. It doesn't matter how much you think you don't know... at the end of the day, CONFIDENCE plays a big part in your life.
so here is the speech courtesy of Softkenya.com.

After a luncheon hosted by the Queen in London in his honour, the former Ugandan leader Idi Amin had this to say for his vote of thanks. 


“Mr Queen, Sir, Horrible Ministers, invented guests, ladies under gentlemen. I thank the Queen very plenty for what he has done to me. I tell you, I have eaten so much that I am now fed up with malicious meal.

Before I continue, I would kindly ask you to open the windows so that the climate may get in plenty. But before I go back I must invert Mr Queen to my country and I can assure you, Mr Queen that when you come, I shall revenge to you. You will eat a full cow and I will work very difficult to make sure that you will come back with a very full stomach.

For now I am sorry that I have just made a short call on you. The next time I will make a long one possible for a full moon. Thank you for letting me undress you in front of all the disgusting people.”
Queen Elizabeth and Idi Amin
 And to brighten up your day, i share this song with you as well. 'Matokeo by Gloria Muliro'

Reverse Evangelism and the Great Commision

 This blog is supposed to be a reflection on the Fearless Summit 2020, which was dubbed 'Be the Spark' . I must say, the annual theme is much needed during this pandemic time. Summit Theme What stood out for me was the last day of the summit, the fearless Sunday. There was the send out commission of Pastor Kevin and his wife Lucy to North America and that was quite emotional. It is a divine phenomenal that God has chosen two 'unlikely' African children to go and be part of the great commission in Washington DC, the capital of governance.  Pastor Muriithi commissioned them with a verse from Psalms 102:18, 'Write this down for the next generation so people not yet born will praise God' This was an amazing verse to remind the missionary couple that the send out was definitely out of great obedience but also for generations. The great commission The second part of the service was led by Pastor Aaron Graham, the senior pastor of District Church, (coincidently where ...

BEING A BETTER PERSON.

Dear #CrownPrince, the warm embrace of family.. you can never go wrong. Happy 2.5 years. All I can say, is I am continually amazed by how God has held you and brought you this far. You have grown into a joyful son, learning new words everyday and speaking your mind. (I wonder where you get that from) But I am so proud of you. Your love for music and dance is amazing, your love for books challenges me every day and your love for God is so amazing. You are a true shepherd.    Son, today I speak to you about being a better person. You see there is a big word known as SELF-ESTEEM (Google for definition :-) ).  Self-Esteem affects all of us knowingly or unknowingly and therefore, what we believe of ourselves, affects how others respond to us. Some people have an inflated self esteem, what I call pride and others have a subdued self-worth what I call laziness. The balance to that is what we call a mature and healthy self-esteem or self-worth....

Welcome to the world #CrownPrince

Dear Son, Day: February 21 2012 Time: 11:37 p.m Weight: 3.75Kgs That day and time will forever be etched in my mind, body and soul. I had always dreamt of how you would look like, but when I saw you, my dreams were nothing compared to what was before me. You were far much more handsome, beautiful than I had ever imagined or thought. Oh my, what a sight to behold. I was speechless, (trust me that ‘s such a big deal. As you will realise, I am very expressive and will seldom shy to pass my point across) . I knew that my life was forever changed. As I held you in my arms, staring at your lovely eyes (which were wide open by the way – very strange, you were too eager to see the world after 41 weeks) and your soft skin glowing as your little tiny fingers tried to hold mine, I was astounded by God’s love, mercy and creativity. So today I say the prayer that I dedicated to you, two years back. Luke 2:52 (NIV) ‘And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.’ ...
