From the Diary of a Faithful Scribbler,

Who Are You?
#I_Am_Who_I_Am.

Imagine, you meet up with someone who tells you to do something. You ask him, "Who are you?" Then he tells you, "I am who I am? What would be your reaction?

For instance, assume you don't know Hon. Sonko, then you meet him and he bails you out of a situation. You ask him, "Who are you?" "I am Sonko," he answers. What would be your impression? Assuming you understand that Sonko implies mtu ambaye ni "source" yaani ana mullah kuruka! You'll definitely trust him to meet your need. Btw, have you heard Hon. Sonko's campaign song, #SimbaWaNai? Ok, let me hook you up with part of the lyrics, "...Simba ni nani? Sonko! Sonko! Simba wa Nairobi amenguruma.... akinguruma yatima, wajane wanacheka. Baba, kura zote ni zako." Now, this is an interesting jam, think about it! You see, those who know SONKO trust and rejoice when he roars. How much more should those who KNOWTHE NAME OF THE LORD PUT THEIR TRUST IN HIM? Check that out in Psalm 9:10.

A person's name signifies his character, ability and/or mission. In Genesis 3:14-15, God asks Moses to do something and when Moses asks Him who He is, He answers, "I Am Who I Am!" This is His personal name, Yahweh/Jehovah. It is a form of the verb "to be." Its an assurance of God's character as the eternal, ever present, self-complete, self-sufficient, independent Being. Everything else is contingent being that derives its existence from Him. He is the infinite and ever present, inexhaustible source. He is the real source. Those who Know His name as the self-sufficient Being put their trust in Him because they know He doesn't forsake those who seek Him. Ma-Sonko wa hapa duniani wako tu hapa kwa muda. Wananguruma tu kwa muda, but Jehovah, the real Source roars and every living thing find its being in Him.

Haya, ni hayo tu kwa sasa.
