</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">by Apostle Paul Amadi (Notes) on Monday, March 18, 2013 at 10:12pm</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">The Lord woke me up about 2am on the night of 13th March 2013 with a message to the nation of Kenya, and particularly to the Body of Christ. Before He began speaking
to me He showed me the flag and the emblems of the nation, then He showed me the words of the first verse of the national anthem of Kenya (O God of all creation, bless this our land and nation, justice be our shield and defender, may we dwell in unity, peace
and liberty, plenty be found within our borders) and also I saw the words PEACE, LOVE & UNITY. I saw that these 3 words were written upon a long slab of rock that had been painted with the colors of the flag of Kenya (black, red, green & white). I also saw
that the painting had become greatly disjointed. Neither the words nor the colors were together. It was a broken state.</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">As I came to the point of tears at what I was seeing, my belly suddenly became very hot and He began to speak:
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"DejaVu Sans";color:#333333" lang="HI">“</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">Why are you following men that shall die? You have forgotten Me, the fountain
of living waters, and now seek to men. Can they save you? Can they deliver you? Yet you seek to them. All these are the works of My hands. In the day I call for them all their thoughts perish. Seek to Me. I the Lord I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning
and the End, the First and the Last. Let your trust be in Me, for I speak and it comes to pass. No man can stop My purposes.</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">The Lord then brought me to see what was happening around the nation. He showed me Christian homes, men and women speaking and spewing hatred against those who belong
to communities of differing political affiliations. And He said to me, </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"DejaVu Sans";color:#333333" lang="HI">“</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">See
what My people are doing. Is this what I called you to do? Have I not called you to love one another and to pray for the peace of your nation? Have I not called you to bless and not to curse? How is it then that you have taken sides with the enemy of My people?
You are destroying, destroying, destroying everything! Where is love in My people? Where are My intercessors? Where are My watchmen? For your enemy is risen and is even now ready to devour this nation. I have spoken to you over and over again but you do not
listen. Yes, you prayed and repented before Me and asked Me to heal your nation, but how can I heal when you are so deeply divided? Have I called you to take sides against one another? Or I have called you to be united. You speak and devour one another, you
consume each other with the words of your mouth and at last you yourself will be no more. For while you are cursing one another your enemy is busy strategizing how he will destroy your nation. I speak this to your shame.</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">Then He continued,
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"DejaVu Sans";color:#333333" lang="HI">“</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">I the Lord have called you to be peacemakers, for so you will be called My
sons. I despise those who cause discord among their brethren, and I will oppose them. Repent now of the evil that is in your heart and return to your position. I love those of you who have refused to take sides, who pray to Me because of the land. They are
My jewels and I will preserve them. I am your source. O Kenya, look to Me and be saved. If you look to men you will be disappointed, for men will lie to you, but I the Lord am the God of truth; what I speak I will also do. If you do not repent judgment will
come to your land and the sword will pass through but if you My people humble yourselves and return to Me then I will heal you and heal your land.</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">This is the direction the Lord gave me for you: Whom you have spoken against, you must go and face them and seek their forgiveness. And for the servants the ministers,
this is what the Lord says to you: </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"DejaVu Sans";color:#333333" lang="HI">“</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">Why have you taken sides in these matters?
I have not called you to take sides but to stand before Me and intercede for the land. REPENT!</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"DejaVu Sans";color:#333333" lang="HI">”</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">And the Lord said,
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"DejaVu Sans";color:#333333" lang="HI">“</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">Begin praying for the healing of this nation, for if you do not do so it will
fall apart and you yourself will not survive. I said put your trust in Me but you have gone after men who can do nothing for you. [Just now as I am typing this I heard Him say: I the Lord hold the key to your life]. Stop saying I (i.e. the Lord) am with this
one, or that one. I the LORD do not take sides for I am the King of the earth. I respect no persons, but those who fear Me and obey My commandments shall find favor in My sight. Therefore, be zealous and repent. Pray unto Me, love one another, be united and
I will restore you once again.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"DejaVu Sans";color:#333333" lang="HI">”</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">And the Lord said to me,
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"DejaVu Sans";color:#333333" lang="HI">“</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">This confusion in your elections is caused by the enemy that he may destroy
My people. If you do not pray, he shall prevail.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"DejaVu Sans";color:#333333" lang="HI">”</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">Who can pray, let him pray, and who cannot pray, let him also pray. The Lord also showed me what the enemy is planning: Chaos, anarchy and bloodshed. Church of God,
arise and pray against these things. Spend time with the Father and plead for the sake of this nation. Gather together in your homes and churches and intercede. Cry mightily to the Father, and He who is able shall change the tide and heal our nation.</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">Verses:</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">Pro 6:16-19: These six Jehovah hates; yea, seven are hateful to his soul: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that plots wicked
plans, feet hurrying to run to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and he who causes fighting among brothers.</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>

and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"lucida grande";color:#333333" lang="EN-US">Isa 55:6,7: Seek Jehovah while He may be found; call on Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return
to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
