Prophet Owuor Chronicles

Renowned televangelist and self declared Prophet, Dr. David Owuor, has done it again, this time spoiling Christmas plans for Luos in Kisumu and those who had wished to visit the lakeside city for the December holiday.

This is after he booked all hotels in the city in preparation for New Year’s prayer meetings for the whole week beginning on 28th of December, leaving Luos with no place to celebrate.

Speaking yesterday, Pastor Gilbert Kimutai of the Kisumu Alter of the Repentance and Holiness Church, confirmed that they had booked all the main hotels in Kisumu for a week.

He noted that Prophet Owuor shelled out millions of shillings to book all major hotels in town for his guests, including those from Diaspora.


“We are expecting more than 600 international guests to join us for the prayers in Kisumu. We also expect hundreds of thousands of locals to attend,” said Pastor Kimutai.

Preparations are in full gear at the venue as Dr. Owour’s followers are working round the clock to make the Kibos Prayer Grounds accessible by the expected faithful. Roads to the venue will be swept a day before the prayers start.

Owuor’s new stunt is likely to elicit a new debate concerning his sources of wealth as no one knows for sure where he gets all the money that allows him to live large and roll like a king while he never collects money and offertories from his crusades.

Alleged OWUOR'S CONVOY

On a SAD Note

A pastor set himself on fire in his Nairobi house on Tuesday upon learning he would not be in Prophet Owuor's convoy to a crusade in Kisumu.

Police said preliminary investigations showed pastor Fred Otieno attempted suicide after he was assigned duty in Kibos ahead of Owuor's trip on Wednesday.

A security officer and reverend only identified as Gitonga said he noticed smoke emanating from Otieno's house at Runda Mumwe estate, gate 128.

"We rushed there and found the pastor [who serves at Kings Outreach Ministries] unconscious in his bedroom." he told officers from Kiambu police station.

Kiambu police boss Steven Ng'etich said Otieno's clothes were in a heap that was on fire and that a 13-kg gas cylinder was on.

Ng'etich said the pastor suffered burns to the legs, hands and forehead in the 10am incident but is in stable condition at Kenyatta National Hospital.

Thousands of Christians are expected to attend the New Year prayers going on until January 4. Some 1,200 police officers were to be deployed to keep guard.

In 2014, more than 10,000 people, including those from Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Europe, attended Owuor's gathering in Kisumu.

11 Habits You Need to Stop Doing

Stop watching too much TV If you spend too much time watching TV, you are wasting your life away. I feel really strongly about this one. I don’t have cable, and while I do watch some shows on Netflix, it’s few and far between. I only watch TV after I really am relaxed and need a break. I’m also careful not to turn on the TV right when I get home. I find that if I do this, I’m sucked in. This is why I keep my reading list and focus on reading good books instead. So, start to pay attention to how much TV you’re watching. If you think it’s too much, cut back. Limit your TV intake to 30 minutes to 1 hour per day, if possible. Stop talking about people behind their backs Talking about someone behind her back is a bad idea for a number of reasons. First, if someone is talking to you behind someone else’s back, you can bet on it that they also will talk about you. Second, did you know that when you talk about someone negatively, the person who you’re talking to will associate yo...

How to Stop Porn Addiction

Don't be judgmental. The first thing you should do when trying to help other people stay away from porn is to stop being judgmental. Do not see or portray the situation in a way that makes them bad for what they do. Sexuality is very normal and human. Even most religions teach that it is not anyone’s place to judge their fellow man (but is instead the job of the Creator). It’s also bad to judge people because it tends to turn them off from what you’re trying to do. Many people that might be open to change will become defensive if you judge them and become even more set in their ways. Stay calm when you talk to them and avoid any judgmental language like “Why can’t you be more like Davis ?” or “Watching pornography will turn you into a pedophile!”. Don’t make assumptions about how they think or compare them to other people, since language like this tends to shut people down. Look for spiritual guidance. If you’re really having trouble getting your habit under control, you ...

Boss Discovered My Side Job And Threatened To Fire Me!!

Here is Judy’s Story I have been working for my current boss for close to 3 years now. The job is okay, it’s just that my salary has not been increased during this whole time. I have been struggling to make ends meet and to be honest, I have been surviving on loans from here and there. A few months back, a friend of mine introduced me to a guy who offered me an online job and a salary that is equal to the one that my boss pays me. The job was so flexible, so I quickly agreed to do it. To juggle the two jobs, I have been getting to work very early and then I start with the workload for my ‘actual’ job and then when I am done, I tackle the other job which is so much more flexible and easier. I have really been enjoying this because every end of the month, I get not one, but two pay checks. I have found financial freedom that I never thought was possible. I can even afford to save cash for the future However, I am afraid I messed up and it may cost me my job. I got to work very...
