William Ruto, the Deputy President says he speaks in tongues because he does not have a godfather. On Wednesday, April 29th, The Standard newspaper published an article on its front-page titled: “Speaking in Tongues.”
In the story, the publication intimated that DP Ruto has turned to the scriptures to express his frustrations as he feels betrayed by President Kenyatta.
“Deputy President William Ruto turns to the scriptures for inspiration and to express his frustrations with the president and those blocking his 2022 presidential ambitions,” the article reads in part.
Reacting to the article through Twitter on Wednesday, DP Ruto noted that he speaks in tongues as it is the only language the devil does not understand.
“I love speaking in tongues. The devil doesn’t understand this language of God (1cor 14.2),” Ruto wrote.
Ruto, a self-declared hustler, further noted that those who do not have a godfather only seek help from God.
“Those who have no godfathers let’s proudly speak in tongues to our GOD the FATHER. With this pandemic let’s pray for God’s healing, work together to feed the hungry & plan to repair our hustles,” he added.
In the recent past, Ruto has used Twitter to pass different messages while quoting various bible verses.
On April 26th, 2020, he tweeted: “Psalm 27: 1-4: Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.”
Another tweet on the same day read: “One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.”
On April 19th, he wrote: “1 Peter 5:10: And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
