Of Typicalness and Characteristics of Kenyan Churches

Coming of age and curving its way squarely into society is part of the founding stories that describe the origin of our places of worship. Having a definite objective is what propelled many upcoming centers that are nowadays lambasted almost everywhere within town and even in our estates. The purpose of initiating church bodies in society if at all we could hear from the founding fathers, was originally pegged on the idea of spreading the gospel and reaching out to the souls that have never had the chance of listening to the good news with a raw message focusing on God and why one can benefit under the servant ship of the Lord. Apart from the many other emerging issues that came along, the major reason and main agenda of church has always been that of spearheading the good will message to teach man the correct statutes of God and importance of leading a pure life that is Christ oriented for an individual's own good.

Away from the basic matters, the modern days have introduced various traits on church today thereby seeing a radical shift from the original agenda, only to set in questionable modes that are on rotation across many churches in the country if anything, division and more so vicious acts is what hits the streets earlier than the real message. A typical Kenyan church today revolves around scandals and majorly brainwashing of the faithful who too have quietly accepted confusing and doubtful sermons. Cases of wrangles and pure squabbling on church positions and even sometimes property, is now becoming a permanent fixture in the public domain.

Some unsuspecting Christians coated by their level of ignorance have been highly been brainwashed to the extent of many literally proving difficult to life realities. Many due to their church beliefs have shunned hospitals and other major salient matters on family planning suffering serious contempt from members of certain unorthodox denominations. A dark cloud currently hangs on the body of Christ as a spell found its ways where it was prohibited and went ahead to irrigate wrong seeds that germinated with mixed notions that are a prime source of confusion. Currently, it is hard to tell whether religion in Kenya is authentic or somewhat pretentious.

 Given the increasing number of broken souls, and serious disappointments that have been registered here and there, it is fool hard to believe some messages because of the dismal credibility of churches in Kenya. The much trust that was bestowed upon it previously has dwindled greatly. Many find it difficult to believe nowadays if at all church in our country are truly on their initial assignment.
