WHEN DAYSTAR UNIVERSITY PRAYS!!!


#SAVEDAYSTAR

Daystar University is once again on its knees after the recent unrest and strikes (or go-slow as those in Athi-River call it) in Athi-River Campus.
With the immense damage all over the media and the university’s god name tarnished; we have sought our solace and refuge under the rock-that’s Christ Jesus- the Day-Star Himself!

Even as we pray; at the end of the day; we should never forget that the destiny of this great university has been placed in your hands and mine; at a time such as this!

It is now within our ability to make or break this university. I trust that our divine calling and proclivity will be towards making it. And so; help us God!

This is not the time for students or the administration to start soliciting for excuse all in the name of “good P.R” and well edited press-releases. This is not the time for scapegoating and saying our strike wasn’t as bad as compared to some public universities we know. No!

None-the less; I do believe there is need to find inspiration in our African people and also from Jesus in the Bible. Each ending of a season provides us with time to reflect rather that scream jubilation. And this time; we can choose to accept it or ignore it!



Is it that time as a community of Daystar we took time to look deep into our souls; to ask ourselves a few hones and hard questions? If things had not worked out; what were the genuine reasons and explanations?
Yes; there could very well have been external factors; but could you or also me have been the principal agent? This is not the time for war-bit for dialogue.

As we rise up once again; above the hills and into the bright vista; ushering in a new hope; as Tata Madiba or the late Mandela would say; is it possible that we can look deep into ourselves; to discover what ails us as my  old man would say? I would personally pray for reasoned dialogue in the place of the deafening noise that we make as leaders or even individuals.

Thank you for reading this! I look forward to your great company! God bless you; God bless Daystar!
