Kenya and indeed the world is today looking for servant leadership which is in short supply. At this time of great need in Kenya, any wisdom whether from any religion or philosophers which can help shed some light to the whole Kenyan dilemma must be brought forward.It will be very frustrating and irritating when everything has finally settled, for books upon books to be written on how the problem could have been solved.Most of the great people of all ages had been credited for exhibiting elements of servant leadership. Jesus Christ for example we are taught, "Let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus: Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation&took upon himself the form of a servant,being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man,he humbled himself &became obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place&gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear&trembling, for it is God who works in you to will&to act according to his good purpose.Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless&pure, children of God without fault in a crooked&depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe" Philippians 2:7-15. Servant leadership is being considered as one of the best form of leadership for the 21 st century and beyond. Kenyan stand to greatly benefit if we start cultivating servant leadership in our sons&daughters at an early age. The forms of leadership includes Autocratic leadership,Bureaucratic leadership,Charismatic leadership,Democratic leadership or Participative leadership,Laissez-faire leadership,People-oriented leadership or Relations-Oriented leadership,Servant leadership,Task-oriented leadership,Transactional leadership&Transformational leadership The elements of servant leadership includes love, devotion, sacrifice, listening,determination, empathy,respect,knowledge (lack of ignorance) healing, faith,awareness,hope, persuasion,forgiveness, selflessness, conceptualization, hard work, foresight,planning, accountability, stewardship,vision, fear of God, commitment to the growth of others,unity, promotion of peace, humility, building community, serving others&community.Even as we seek to promote truth peace , justice&a fair society, let us not use all energy on past.Focus on present&future. Shalom Kenyans need to start sowing seeds of servant leadership in our children, our heritage, reward and prosperity.

This is my poem for peace The one I cannot write for fear of shame The one no-one will hear for fear of pain And the one I cannot write will remain un-thought and unspoken like broken promises and fear of blame This is my poem for peace © Chris Hoskins 2004 Sent with love and hope for an end to the violence and blood shed in your country! Chris Hoskins My words are sent in my poem for peace.

This is my poem for peace

The one I cannot write for fear of shame

The one no-one will hear for fear of pain

And the one I cannot write will remain

un-thought and unspoken

like broken promises and fear of blame

This is my poem for peace

Red! You need not to pour any more blood of a single Kenyan out of the 43 tribes to prove this fact.Every tribe feel pain like any other. Please, Kenyans wake up! come and let us reason together! Isaiah1:18.Having eyes to see do we not see? Having minds to think! Do we not think? Having hearts to be touched, are we not touched? Having ears to hear do we not hear? Are our hearts hardened more than the heart of the ancient Pharaoh of Egypt? God has commanded again and again, "You shall not kill."Exodus20:13 Do we still kill? God challenged Cain, "Where is Abel your brother? Cain said, "I do not know: I am my brother's keeper? God asked, What have you done? The voice of your brother cries to me from the ground . And now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hands." Genesis4:8-16.Jesus Christ answered the wise lawyer, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind." This is the first and the greatest commandment. The second most important is similar, "Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself Matthew22:36-40.Kenyans let us stop the bloodshed lest we are cursed by God, the earth and our ancestors.Kenyans must we hear God thundering with fire, earthquakes, storms and brimstones to know and understand that The LORD GOD is watching from the Throne in Glory. God have mercy on us all.Shalom! Human blood is human blood! Red! You need not to pour any more blood of a single Kenyan out of the 43 tribes to prove this fact.Every tribe feel pain like any other.
