December 5, 2019, marked the beginning of a new controversy in the spiritual realm as a self-proclaimed prophet, Stephen Thuranira, emerged with claims that God has directed him to replace Prophet David Owuor.
Thuranira, 39, who is based in Eldoret, wants Prophet Owuor to vacate the office in the spirit of a handshake to pave way for him as Elijah of the Bible.
According to Thuranira, he is now Elijah called by God to relieve Prophet Owuor, who has done a good job, and has come to have a handshake with Prophet Owuor to release him to go to Israel and pave way for him to deliver the timely message to Kenyans.
Thuranira challenged Prophet Owuor not to harden his heart but rather meet him and surrender the office to him so as to continue with the remaining work in the spirit of a handshake.
He said that the Lord has spoken to him to deliver an end-time message to Kenyans by replacing Prophet Owuor after Kenyans failed to receive his message.
Thuranira also claims that God has directed Prophet Owuor to go to Israel where his ministry is required since he has already accomplished that which God wanted him to accomplish in Kenya.
However, his sentiments have not gone well with followers of Prophet Owuor, who have termed his allegations as false and ungodly.
