We are living in a world that turns us or rather shuns us away from our creator. We have slowly let blasphemy become a part of our daily lives that it has become an obvious thing for someone to say something out of the ordinary i.e. for Christians like me, I would see it normal for someone to say ill of my creator without raising a brow!
H_Art The Band the latest Kenyan Afro Poetry musicians in town are undoubtedly a majorities favorite with their latest hits of Uliza Kiatu & Nikikutazama. The band consists of 3 Members namely,
- Mordecai Mwini [spoken word artist/poet/singer/artist/fashionista/actor]
- Kenneth Muya- Kenchez[guitarist/singer/fashionista/poet/actor]
- Wachira Gatama- G.T[spoken word artist/poet/freestyler/artist/fashionista/actor]
I love H_Art The Band. I Love their fusion of music but think I have an issue with the guy who does the spoken word. Many of you know of Nikikutazama and Uliza Kiatu. Some of you know of Lovephobic but very few know of Chira. Chira is a Street Poetry Narration of Spoken word that was held at Aga Khan Walk.
We Kenyans have the tendency of worshiping our celebrities rather than our God. We laugh at jokes and sing to songs that damn right we know are blasphemous but tend to ignore. The video to me is blasphemous in the lines that the guy says:
Naskia siku hizi Yesu na Mapenzi wanatumiwa kwa sentensi moja [I hear that these days the names Jesus and love are used in one sentence]
Imagine Virgin Mary after kupewa story na Angel Gabrieli angemeza contraceptives [Imagine immediately after Angel Gabriel narrated a story to Virgin Mary she swallowed contraceptives]
Imagine Moses angekuwa fireman na Noah angependa kuconserve miti ki Wangari Maathai [Imagine Moses was a fireman and Noah loved to conserve trees like Wangari Maathai]
Imagine venye Delilah aliamua kunyoa Samson nywele angemnyoa Mohawk [Imagine when Delilah decided to shave Samson’s hair, he shaved him the Mohawk style]
Na Bethsheba ile siku alipatikana akioga angekuwa anaoga passport [And the day Bethsheba was bathing she would be doing a quick half bath, known as a ‘passport’ in street language]
Imagine siku Moses alikuwa anapewa ten commandments angepewa kwa tablet [Imagine Moses received the ten commandments in a tablet (The Gadget)]
Imagine Yesu ile siku alikuwa akiwalk on water angekuwa amedunga floaters [Imagine Jesus had floaters when He was walking on water]
This is an excerpt that shows the blasphemous jokes.
This is the original video that was posted on Youtube
It was so funny that the crowd was lively and laughing even when someone decides to joke and say ill of your creator, even when someone decides to make jokes of the living word. Truly there is no one who could stand up for Jesus and tell the guy not to say ill of his/her faith or were there no Christians in the crowd?
Hebrews 4:12 says
“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
I couldn’t just watch the video and say nothing about it. If it is blasphemous, then that is the plain truth. I wouldn’t care how many hits H_Art The Band will have but I would be careful of any negative hit they make to God, Because that is what I STAND for! For My God.
You are Christian, and maybe you saw this and couldn’t air it out, I have aired it out for you! Choose! Do you share it to stand for your faith or do you laugh at the blasphemous jokes?
