It was on Friday 17.02.2006, when I got a message from my home country (Kenya) that I have lost my brother. A pastor friend sent me an sms that my only brother has passed away.
I was reading the Bible at the time the message came. Stunned, I thought I was dreaming. I looked at the Bible and felt “betrayed”. A voice spoke to me—‘You were not reading the Bible so that somebody doesn’t die—were you?’ The impression was that I should continue reading.
I took the mobile phone and raised it before God and prayed, “Please, let this not be true, I pray thee, have mercy on your servant”.
After doing that, I continued reading the Bible and finished the chapter I was reading at the time. I, however, realised that I was not concentrating. I took the phone and started calling friends and relatives around. No one was picking the phone. I thought, could they be moaning that nobody is keen on answering any phone. The only person I managed to get had not heard anything like that. He is living in a different town, far from where my brother worked.
I started thinking about plane ticket, but where on earth was I going to get the money after having hit bottom low financially?

I have to be going….you will read the rest of the story tomorrow or when I get time to blog again.
