Today’s Verse

“Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. ³⁶ But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. ³⁷ All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. ³⁸ For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. ³⁹ And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. ⁴⁰ For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” (John 6:35-40)

Today’s Message

In John 6:29, Jesus provides the disciples with a profound response: believe in Him, as the one God has sent. As the chapter continues, Jesus explains the purpose of Him coming down from heaven: to do the Father’s will. God desires that you would live with Him forever. It’s why He sent Jesus! While we know this as the truth of the gospel in our heads, sometimes our hearts need to be reminded: God is not mad at you! In fact, He loves you so much, He made a way for you to be with Him forever! In a world where so much of our worth is found from striving for perfection, remember this truth. God loves you just as you are, right now. And as you walk with Him, He will continue to transform you, from the inside out.LINK:  https://godtv.com/gods-word-for-you-today-im-not-mad-at-you/

Dennis Ochieng, 24, who hails from Nyang'oma in Alego, Siaya county, was shot in his chest at Kisumu Boys roundabout on Monday.

He is currently recuperating well at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital where is admitted.

Speaking to the Star, Ochieng said, it was God who saved his life after the bullet went through the left side of his chest leaving only particles, which were removed by doctors during surgery on Tuesday.

"Were it not the Almighty God. It would have been a different story. He has saved me from the jaws of death," he said.

On Wednesday, he was questioned by officers from the Independent Policing Oversight Authority who are investigating cases of alleged police brutality against citizens during the Azimio protests.

He has also been visited at the hospital by human rights activists who have called for a thorough probe into the alleged use of excessive force by police.

"The officers have questioned me. Today I was visited by two Ipoa officers and yesterday there was a senior one who came," he said.

Ochieng denied engaging in violent protest and called for a thorough investigation into his shooting for him to get justice.

He said he had left work and was rushing to his residence in Nyalenda to be with his family when he was caught in the melee between the police and protesters.

The survivor wants the government to compensate him for the bills he has incurred since Monday.

Ochieng is married. He said he did not expect that the peaceful demonstrations will turn into running battles between the police and protesters.

On Monday, one person was shot dead at Kondele while another one was lynched by mob at Fanana area in the same area over mugging allegations.

Kevin Odiwuor was also shot in the head at Nyalenda during the demonstrations. He is also admitted at Kisumu County Referral Hospital.

On Wednesday, Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyong'o banned the mass action protest in the city after consultaton with Azimio top leaders.

Human rights defender Audi Ogada has supported the ban saying goons were taking advantage of the protest to terrorise residents.

"These goons have been erecting illegal road blocks, stealing and robbing residents during demonstrations," Ogada said.

The protest has seen three deaths including a Maseno University student, who was shot by police.

"Even though the citizens have the right to picket, it has turned chaotic as criminals take advantage leading loss of innocent lives," he said.
