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, the founder of Wake-up Ministry based in Huruma slum in the outskirts of Eldoret town, insists that it is time for Prophet Owuor to quit and pave the way for him as the prophet of the day called to deliver God's message to Kenyans.
According to Thuranira, he has been called by God to relieve Prophet Owuor, who has done a good job, and to deliver the timely message to Kenyans. He has challenged Prophet Owuor to meet him and surrender the office to him in the spirit of a handshake.
Thuranira claims 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. He also believes 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, followers of Prophet Owuor have termed Thuranira's allegations as false and ungodly. They argue that God does not operate in such a manner and that Thuranira seems to have a spiritual challenge.
