Homa Bay preacher’s vocabulary-filled prayer leaves President Ruto, Governors in stitches: A pastor tasked with leading prayers at the Homa Bay County International Investment Conference left VIPs in titters due to his vocabulary-packed prayer.
The preacher, identified as Raphael Obego, started the prayer in earnest, wasting no time in dropping huge words and enunciating them.
“King of Kings and Lord of Lords, he who dwells in the Heavenlies above… Hallowed be they name today and forever more…” he started
From there, things took a turn as he led the audience through a highly-charged prayer session, dropping vocabulary after vocabulary and, quickly, inspiring low-key giggles from the leaders present including President William Ruto.
“It has behoved you to spare our lives… We are gathered here for this conglomeration…” he continued.
“Father as we begin, we invoke your presence in our midst, we pray for a moment of (indecipherable)… A moment of a brouhaha, a moment that is going to occur into a quantum leap…”
As he neared the climax of his prayers, things got heated, with the words becoming bigger and the delivery becoming even more rhetorical.
Obego continued: “May you keep at bay, every single jungle manoeuvres that may be orchestrated by the devil…”
“For this is my sincere circumambulation, for I supplicate in the name of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit…”
As he neared the last part of the prayer, President William Ruto, Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga and her Kirinyaga counterpart Ann Waiguru were already deep in giggles, with the Kirinyaga Governor evidently unable to hide her amusement.
The video has since been widely shared with Kenyans requesting the man of God to do a similar prayer for the sake of the nation.
While sharing the video, X user Henry Kabogo said, “Raphael Obego, please pray for KPLC, eCitizen and JKIA…”
Another user agreed, adding, “When you are given the podium, ensure everyone will remember you!”
