KENYA’S FIRST CHRISTIAN PRESIDENT SWORN IN WITH A BIBLE IN HIS HAND
written by Christa September 21, 2022



Last September 13, William Ruto was sworn in as President of Kenya. He is the country’s first Christian president. And during the ceremony, he held the Bible, signaling his dependence on God’s word.

“I, William Samoei Ruto, in full realization of the high calling that I assume as President of Kenya, will be faithful to the Republic of Kenya and will obey, preserve and defend this Constitution,” President Ruto declared at the Kasarani Stadium.

President Ruto narrowly won the August 9 election against the opposition, Raila Odinga. The election ended peacefully this time, in a history of troubled ones.

During the presidential campaign, his opponents labelled him as “deputy Jesus.” Though the motive was to mock him, Ruto's team adopted the nickname in his favour. It became a badge of pride for all followers of Jesus.

When the Supreme Court upheld his win, Ruto and his wife Rachel knelt down and prayed, tearfully thanking God for His grace upon their lives.

Kenya proclaims to be 85% Christian, resulting in a favourable win to former pastor now president Ruto. Most people believe in Ruto’s promise that the nation will be guided by strong Christian leadership. He once said to a congregation in Nairobi, "Kenya is a republic that worships God. There is no room for homosexuality in Kenya."

In his first tweets as president, Ruto quoted verses from Bible to illustrate his beginning as leader of the country. He referenced Proverbs 3:5-6, which says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

And he also wrote Psalm 118:24, “This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Both verses show how he will depend on God in his every decision and that his presidency is God-ordained.

Let us pray for our brother in the Lord, President William Ruto, as he will partner with God to establish His kingdom over Kenya and that many more will receive Jesus as Lord. Revival for Kenya!

So swearing in with a bible or he being a Christian makes him a good leader?

Of course there are lots and lots of people with good motives but God's word made us to understand that Satan is the present ruler of the world {John 14:30; 2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19} so it's only his own agents that he allows to participate in his government! Luke 4:6

That's why no good person can become a ruler and last today not until God's Kingdom come! Matthew 6:10
