Dear Diary,
Am certain many of us have journeyed on a bike without a helmet, are there legal penalties? Now, on Saturday at around 8pm I left Umoja for Donholm on a motor bike. As we entered the Outering superhighway, there was a heavy traffic and as usual, the rider manoeuvred off the road but not too far, we were stuck! Two men were standing where we stopped, one of them stretched his hand and clasped my left arm, in a huff and with a husky voice he said, “Madam, vaa helmet!” meanwhile the rider reached to his customer helmet and before he could hand it to me I looked at him with a smirk and said, “Aaaiii, iko na kunguni sitaki!” the two gentlemen asked me, “Nini cha muhimu, Kunguni au maisha yako!” Before I could change my mind the rider got an open way and sped off. Now, as we approached Naivas Eastgate, this guy was riding using one hand and with the other he was gesticulating and telling me how the super highway “Itamaliza watu ikiisha!” At this time, am thinking to myself, should anything happen, is my head safe? Bedbug or life, which is worth protecting?
Dictionary.com defines helmet as “Any of various forms of protective head covering worn by soldiers, fire fighters, divers, cyclists, etc.” It is a protective or defensive gear which is vital for survival, protecting the brain which is the headquarters for the rest of the body. Apostle Paul urges believers to take the helmet of salvation. (Eph 6:17) says, “And take the helmet of salvation….” The helmet of salvation safeguards your mind from every mental assault of the devil. The word helmet as I checked in my Greek Bible is a compound word perkephalia. Peri means around, and kephale is head. Thus perkephalaia signifies a protective gear that fits very tightly around the head.
So what is my point? Take the helmet of salvation means that your mind is regenerated, (Romans 12:1-2). Two things! One, to save your life, the helmet of salvation is a must have. You receive it as a gift from God. Two, If your salvation is not worn tightly around your mind like a helmet, the enemy will come to chop off you head, and you will be doomed forever, (John 10:10). Three, as a Christian it is of paramount importance to have the impenetrable assurance of salvation. Dear friend, as you prepare for Satan’s bouts, make sure your head is buckled with the helmet of salvation.
