7:51
news welcome to amate radio news big
7:53
stories coming out today yeah some
7:55
pretty heavy stuff first up a really
7:57
concerning report on ryen obesity rates
8:00
in Africa the world obesity Federation
8:02
is comparing it to the HIV epidemic
8:05
because of the stemma and how it's
8:07
disproportionately affecting women
8:09
they're predicting nearly half of all
8:11
women in Africa could be obese or
8:13
overweight by 2030 that's a staggering
8:16
statistic and equally disturbing news
8:18
out of Kenya where thousands of refugees
8:20
clashed with police at the kakuma
8:22
refugee camp apparently food rations are
8:24
being cut because of funding issues the
8:26
unhcr confirmed injuries on both sides
8:28
tear gas was deployed it's a desperate
8:30
situation absolutely it stems from a
8:32
usaid freeze that slashed the world food
8:34
program's budget a terrible chain
8:36
reaction on a lighter note let's move on
8:38
to some sports the champions league is
8:40
heating up some brilliant goalkeeping on
8:42
display this week and lausin well they
8:45
seem to be on the decline we'll break
8:47
down all the action shortly sounds good
8:49
and in Tech news there's been some
8:50
backpedaling on a bill aimed at
8:52
protecting young teens from smartphone
8:54
addiction yeah the safer phones bill was
8:56
supposed to tackle addictive algorithms
8:58
and even phone banss in schools but it's
9:00
been watered down now it's just going to
9:02
lead to more research which feels like a
9:03
bit of a copout a lot of MPS and Child
9:06
Protection groups were really behind the
9:08
original stronger version it is
9:10
disappointing the technology and
9:12
education secretaries apparently weren't
9:15
on board with the tougher measures so
9:17
now instead of action we get more
9:18
research we'll keep following this
9:22
story hello listeners welcome back to my
9:25
story time my name is Zira last time I
9:29
gave us story about a boy who was very
9:31
merciful today I'm going to give a story
9:34
about a family that had to walk through
9:37
the Deep Waters have you ever walked
9:40
through deep Waters that is the question
9:44
have you ever been in a problem and you
9:46
see the miracle of God today I have a
9:48
story that I'm going to narrate about a
9:51
family that trusted in God and had to
9:54
testify and the Miracles had to rain
9:57
rain rain so welcome to my
10:02
story there lived a family and this
10:05
family was made of a father a mother and
10:08
two children these people used to pray
10:11
they used to trust in their God each and
10:13
every day when they woke up in the
10:15
morning they used to dedicate their time
10:17
to pray in the afternoon the parents had
10:20
told their children to always pray
10:23
anywhere they they were while in school
10:25
anywhere so they were taught on how to
10:28
remember their God and in the evening
10:30
they used to do their worship time they
10:33
used to do their devotion and then they
10:35
pray together and then uh before they
10:38
could sleep they could also pray so they
10:41
children learned about that so they had
10:43
that the favor of God so they trusted
10:45
God fully so one day they wanted to do
10:48
their shopping and in their area uh
10:52
there were no things as in they could
10:54
not get uh the kind of shopping that
10:57
they wanted and then they had to send
11:00
the father to go and do some shopping
11:03
that they needed the house so the Father
11:06
the only property that he had or the
11:08
means of Transport that the father had
11:14
uh uh the wife or the mommy had to send
11:17
the daddy to cross over the river so
11:20
where they used to live they had to
11:22
cross over the river to go and do their
11:25
shopping the daddy uh when I just
11:28
remember remember uh there is a place in
11:31
Mombasa and this place when you want to
11:34
cross and to go to the other side of uh
11:38
the river you have two Bard a fery in
11:42
this Ferry uh people Bard even their
11:45
vehicles board everything had to board
11:49
for for them to cross the Indian Ocean
11:51
so this is the same scenario with this
11:54
family before they cross to the other
11:56
side to go and do their shopping they
11:58
they he had to to use his bicycle and
12:01
fro over the river but in this
12:02
particular time there was no fairy so
12:05
there was a canel a canel uh is where by
12:09
this father used to he he just boarded
12:13
on a canel with his bicycle and he
12:15
crossed over the river and he went to do
12:17
his shopping so he went to the market uh
12:21
the mother remained behind with a
12:23
children so he did his shopping he
12:27
bought sugar he bought flour for G and
12:31
uh he had some other uh
12:34
vegetables while coming back because he
12:38
was looking for these Commodities and
12:40
they were not easily available at the
12:43
marketplace so he took time and it was
12:45
late at around 7 p.m. in the evening on
12:49
coming back uh it was somehow
12:53
dark as usual he looked for a Cano that
12:57
was just there he entered
12:59
inside he had he had wrapped uh the
13:03
floor and the uh the FL sorry and the
13:06
sugar in a Pon paper then in a carton
13:09
box and then he just uh tied tied on the
13:14
bicycle and then he bought the canel
13:17
back home the mother was worried where
13:20
is our daddy the children were worried
13:23
where is our father but because this is
13:26
a family that trusted God and they they
13:28
just down and prayed for their dad so
13:31
the father on coming back by mistake or
13:35
by accident the Cano just slept and uh
13:41
the bicycle because it had the weight of
13:43
the FL the sugar fell and drowned down
13:47
and it sankk down deeper and then the
13:51
father was just thrown from the canel
13:54
and the canel just sank down to the
13:57
river so the father had to start
13:59
swimming he started swimming swimming
14:02
and he felt that the water was
14:04
overpowering him and then he started
14:07
praying he remembered his God as usually
14:09
prays because there is a verse in the
14:12
Bible that says I'll be with you when
14:15
you walk through the waters you'll never
14:17
sink I'll be with you so he remember
14:19
this verse so he just surrendered his
14:22
life to God and he started swimming
14:25
swimming swimming without knowing where
14:27
he was going but by good luck he found
14:30
himself that he had reached at the end
14:34
and he just stood on the side and then
14:38
he was able to come out safely and he
14:42
thank God for that but his bicycle the
14:45
Cano plus the other commodity that he
14:47
had bought just sankk like that he just
14:51
raised his voice and thanked God because
14:53
he was alive but all of his clothes were
14:59
but he could not mind what was important
15:02
God had saved his life he started
15:06
walking the journey to his place on
15:09
arriving home he knocked at the door it
15:11
was around 9:00 p.m. he knocked at the
15:14
door the wife opened the door the father
15:18
was wet all over he was shaking he was
15:20
shivering because of the cold then the
15:23
wife was oh my God what is not happening
15:26
the children ran daddy what's not
15:28
happening was shivering but the wife
15:30
because the wife was so wise she ran she
15:35
clothes and then the Daddy went he
15:38
showered and then he changed the clothes
15:40
the wife told him oh first of all have a
15:44
seat change the clothes first and then
15:46
you tell us you the story what has
15:49
happened after that is when the daddy
15:52
and narrated the story what had happened
15:55
they were so sorry they nailed again
15:57
they prayed and they told God we had
16:00
prayed for you Daddy and we continue
16:02
praying for you and we had prayed and
16:04
the god of Heaven had protected you is
16:06
the one who protected you they thanked
16:08
God for the life of their father so
16:11
early in the morning uh their father
16:13
woke up and he went and um reported the
16:16
the the matter to the chief what had
16:18
happened maybe if he could help uh to
16:23
get some drivers to go and secure or
16:26
help to see if they can they could get
16:28
the bicycle because it was the only
16:29
source of income oh the chief was so
16:33
sorry because the family was so good and
16:35
they they had a very good reputation in
16:37
the society in the community the chief
16:39
ordered some men who knew how to dive so
16:42
they went to the river and then uh some
16:44
men volunteered and had started diving
16:48
to the river so some tried and tried and
16:50
tried and came back they could not find
16:52
the canel they could not find the the
16:54
bicycle they could not find even the the
16:56
Commodities others tried and then died
17:00
inside and then they had a voice we can
17:03
see the bicycle over there we can see
17:05
the can over there and then they dived
17:08
and they had they they had to to get
17:10
hold of the canel and the
17:12
bicycle it was a miracle the bicycle was
17:16
secured it was retrieved and the canel
17:19
and the Box the carton that had the
17:22
Commodities were safely retrieved from
17:25
the river it was a miracle it was a
17:28
miracle I'm telling it was a miracle I
17:30
don't know if you've ever found yourself
17:32
in a such in a very difficult situation
17:35
you're almost dying or you've been in a
17:38
a situation whereby you've lost hope but
17:41
you remember that truly God tells us or
17:43
promises that I'll be with you when you
17:46
walk through the water the Deep waters
17:48
I'll be with you I'll give you
17:50
security it is good that we trust in God
17:53
as this family always prayed in the
17:55
morning in the afternoon the evening
17:57
even these children were in Proverbs 22
18:01
ver 6 the Bible teaches us that train up
18:03
a child the way should go and when he is
18:05
old he never depart from those ways this
18:08
is the kind of teachings that these
18:10
parents had to pass over to their
18:12
children and these are the kind of
18:14
teachings that you're supposed to teach
18:15
our children that when we are in
18:16
troubles we need to pray we need to call
18:19
upon God like this family they trusted
18:21
in God and they saw a miracle they had a
18:24
good reputation in the society in the
18:25
community and that is why even when they
18:27
faced they were fac with such a
18:29
challenge the community had to mobilize
18:32
themselves and had to volunteer to help
18:34
this man the man had to get back his
18:37
bicycle which was just the main source
18:40
of income and it is a miracle that even
18:43
the sugar even the Flor because it was
18:46
tightly tied in aolian paper it was as
18:49
dry as it was bought it was a miracle
18:54
and then this wife was so happy she did
18:57
she started doing her baking and then
18:59
she sold she sold the kind of uh mandazi
19:03
that she made from the the FL and then
19:06
she sold and she got a lot of money and
19:08
she gave back the tithe so we are also
19:10
encouraged to give back the 10% the
19:13
tithe unto God for God to bless us I
19:15
hope you've enjoyed your story next time
19:23
