So we welcome the ministry of the Holy Spirit. We welcome your presence just to more upon our hearts and our lives and even those online and those will watch the recording later. The God you will impart to each of us in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. All right. Good morning everyone. Once again, welcome. We are we were in chapter four Jesus teaching on faith. I'm just going to go ahead and share this, these notes and then we will move forward from where we paused last week. We started talking about what the Lord Jesus taught us concerning faith night. So I think we might spend the next two hours today just focusing on this chapter.  If you can learn this, you've got almost everything you need to learn in this course on how to exercise faith in God. Now, of course, there's a lot more we're going to talk about to give us a good understanding. But in chapter four, what Jesus taught us concerning faith is so very important. Okay. This is a quick review. We mentioned last week that there is truth and there are facts. Facts are the actual situations we are facing and facts can always change. Facts can be changed, but truth is eternal. Truth will not change. God's truth is forever established in heaven. It's not going to change. So through faith, we are able to cause the facts to change and align or come into alignment with the truth of God's words, right? So God's word has spoken his word, his word is truth. And by faith, we are able to change the situations, change the facts so that the facts come into agreement with God's truth. Okay. So he'll face situations in life. He'll face mountains, giants. Those are facts. You're not saying mountain is not there. You're not saying giant is not there. Of course, there's a problem. There's a difficulty, whatever that is. It is there. It's a fact. But that that situation doesn't have to stop you. You and I have the word of God. This is truth. The word of God is truth. So by faith in God and in his words, we can change the facts and cause them to align with the word of God with the truth. Okay. So we started off by looking at the teaching of Jesus on faith. So Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. So he taught us concerning faith. He's absolutely right. And our faith starts with him. Our faith is perfected by him. Right? So we go to him and learn from him about faith. He is the author and finisher of our faith. So what did Jesus teach about faith? And they're summarizing this in, you know, in statements that we could easily remember. Number one, we said last week, Jesus taught us that all things are possible through faith, perfect in God, Matthew 17, 20. He taught us that everything is possible. He said, nothing will be impossible for you. So you and I have to think in those terms. Nothing is impossible for me as a person of faith, as a man and as a woman who has faith in God, nothing is impossible. All things are possible. That's how you and I have to think. Okay. When you see a sick person, say all things are possible. You know, the doctors may have given up hope, but you say all things are possible. When you see a need, the need may be very big. But what do we say? All things are possible to him who believes because that's what Jesus taught us concerning faith. Okay. The second thing we learned last week is that we will receive according to our faith. Nothing on, no man, no devil can stop you from receiving according to your faith. No man, no devil can stop you. That's the law of faith. If you have faith in the Word of God, in what God has said, nothing can stop you. Okay. Now that's another truth we need to be convinced about. And Jesus taught us, He said, according to your faith, it will be, let it be done for you or according to your faith, it will be done for you. Matthew 9, 29. He said, according to your faith, let it be for you. Right? That's the law of faith. It will be done. So when we begin to exercise faith in God, we come from this perspective that all things are possible through faith in God and I will receive according to my faith in God. Or we could put it like this, no man, no devil can stop you from receiving according to your faith in God. That's the perspective we're coming from. Okay.  If it works, it works. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. I will help God figure it out. That's not the perspective. That's not the kind of faith Jesus taught us. The faith Jesus taught us is what we are reading now in the scriptures. Right? The faith Jesus taught us is, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to the mountain, move and it will move and that thing will be impossible for you. That's the kind of faith Jesus taught us. The kind of faith Jesus taught us is, according to your faith, let it be done for. As you have believed, let it be done for you. That's the kind of faith Jesus taught us. Right? So when we are going to exercise faith in God, that's that's the position from which we exercise faith in God. That's the way Jesus taught us. Okay. Number three, this is where we spend some time and then we stopped here last week. So what Jesus taught us is that our will and desire is involved in the exercise of faith. Our will and our desire is involved. You see many times we hear people pray, Lord if it be thy will, you know, if it be your will, heal this person, if it be your will. Now you pray like that when you don't know the will of God. But actually it's our responsibility to first find out the will of God and then pray a line to the will of God. When it comes to healing, we already know the will of God. The will of God is he forgives all our sins and he heals all our diseases. That's the will of God. That's Psalm 103 verse 3. So the will of God concerning healing is already given to us in the word of God. So God's word is God's will. Are you simple? God's word is God's will. Every promise is a revelation of the will of God. Every promise is a revelation of the will of God because otherwise he would not have promised. He would not have said, okay, I will do this for you. If he didn't want, if he didn't will for you to have it. So every promise is a revelation of the will of God. The word of God is a revelation of the will of God and Jesus Christ is the perfect revelation of the will of God. Jesus Christ is a perfect revelation of the will of God. So if we want to know the will of God, look at Jesus. So I have a question. Did Jesus ever pray for a sick person saying, father, if it be, I will heal him. Otherwise take him home. Did Jesus pray for any person like that? What do you think? Francis? Did Jesus pray for any person? Did Jesus pray for any sick person saying, father, if it be, I will heal him? What do you think? Did Jesus pray for any sick person saying, if it be, I will father heal him? Not even once. Not even once. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, you can check. Not even once did Jesus pray for a sick person saying, father, if it is your will, heal him. Never prayed like that.  Blind eyes, be open. You never prayed if it be, I will. Why? Because the will of God is already known. The will of God is already known concerning the sick. What is the will of God? He said, I am Jehovah Rafa. God's will is always aligned to God's nature. God will never will something opposite to his nature. If you know God, if you know his nature, his will is always aligned to his nature. Who is he? He is the healer. What is his will to heal? Who is he? He is a provider. What is his will to provide? Are you listening? Why am I emphasizing this? Because many people, and I'm talking about us Christians, we have the wrong position to always say if it is your will and then we pray. But look at Jesus. He never prayed like that. The only time he prayed if it is your will, only once in his whole life that is recorded for us is in the Garden of Gethsemane, where he was about to go to the cross. And that prayer was a prayer of consecration. He said, Father, if it is your will, let this cup pass for me. That means give me a different cup and I don't want to drink this cup. Let this cup pass with this cup of suffering. If it is your will, let this cup pass. But if there is no other way, not my will, but your will be done. So that's the only time Jesus prayed. If it is your will, that means it's a prayer of surrender to the will of God. He never prayed that way when healing the sick. He never prayed that way when coming the storm. He never prayed that way when multiplying five lures and fish. So he never prayed that way to heal the sick, to deliver people to work miracles. Because the will of God is already known. God's will is to heal. God's will is to deliver. God's will is to meet the needs of people. God's will is to work miracles to set people free. So we can exercise our faith in those circumstances and situations. Are you with me? Are you with me? You're not sure?  So we can boldly say, the reason I want to really get this is otherwise we will be doing what others are doing. They're just praying if it be our will, if it be our will, if it be our will. But that you cannot exercise faith when you don't know the will of God. You cannot exercise faith when you don't know the will of God. So when somebody's really praying if it be a will, they're not able to exercise faith. They're not exercising faith. It is not a prayer of faith because they don't know the will of God. It's a prayer of consecration. It's a prayer of surrender. Lord, if it be over, it's not a prayer of faith in the sense the faith that will bring results, that will bring healing, that will bring deliverance because Jesus never prayed like that. Now, therefore, for us to exercise faith, our will and our desire is involved. That means we align our will to the will of the Father. What is the will of the Father for a person to be healed? Our will must be the same thing. I want to see that person healed. Our will must be aligned to the will of God. The will of God is to heal. The will of God is to provide. The will of God is to work a miracle. So our will and our desire, our desire must be God. I want to see this person well. God, I want to see this person healed. God, I want to see this miracle happen. God, I want to see this need met. Our will and desire must be aligned to the will and the desire of the Father. It's already revealed but our will must be there and then we can exercise faith. So in your mind's eye, and we will talk about this a little later, you must see what the will of God, the will of God expressed.  Imagine that. This is what God wants for this person. This is what God will do in this situation. And so our will and desire is involved. We see this in scripture, for example, in Matthew 15, when this woman came, Matthew 15, 28, when this woman came to Jesus for her daughter, she did not come and say, Lord, if it be your will, heal my daughter. Otherwise, I guess it's your will for her to suffer like this. She didn't pray like that. She came for her daughter. Even though the disciples would not let her come to Jesus, she still came, made her way, somehow she made her way. Even though Jesus said, I can't take the children's bread and give it to the dogs, she still had one answer. She said, okay, keep the bread, give me the crumbs. The dogs eat the crumbs. They'll fall from the table, the master's table. In other words, she was not going to take no for an answer. You see her will and her desire. She was not going to take no for an answer. No is not an option. Only one choice. Yes, only one choice. And how did Jesus respond to her in Matthew 15, 28? He said, Oh woman, great is your faith. Great is your faith. Be, let it be to you as you decide. So he was recognizing that this woman had strong desire. She desired. So I must have it. Very stubborn desire, if you want to use that word in a good sense. He said, let it be to you as you desire. And her daughter was healed. So when you are going to believe God for certain things, based on his word, of course, and based on what he's spoken to you, you must be absolutely committed to it. Absolutely. It will not take no for an answer. So I remember this has happened a long time ago. Some stories are from long time, some from days and days, but this was back in 1995, 1995. Some of you are not born. Or maybe all of you were not born. I don't know. So that was the year Amy and I got married. So that year we had fixed our wedding date. I was in the U.S. Amy was in Malaysia and we had fixed the wedding date was fixed for May 20th. So I had to go to Malaysia and I planned to go there maybe 10 days before the wedding. So I was in the U.S. I went to New York where the Malaysian Council, I was living close, not too far from there, and I applied for the visa and I had already booked my ticket. I think I was flying out on a Monday. On a Monday, I was flying out. This is what I remember. This is a long time ago, but I was flying out on a Monday morning and I applied for the visa the previous week. They said it will take only a few days to get it. So I applied. Thursday I went to collect my passport with the visa and they said, sorry, some delay has happened. We are not sure when we can get to your passport with the visa. I was so upset because there's only one more working day, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, they're closed and Monday I'm flying. There's no way. I said, no, no, I have to have it. I'm coming back tomorrow to collect my passport with my visa. And he said, sir, I mean, it can't happen. I said, no, I'm coming back tomorrow to collect my passport with my visa. I have to have it and I left. But now, the only thing I could do in that situation was to use my faith. The only thing I could do because it was like the situation.  The news was not good. You know, I can't remember all the details of what they told me. But basically, they said it cannot be done. But then I went back to my room and I began to use my faith. I said, I take authority over the consulate. I take authority over every situation. I command that my passport with the visa be released tomorrow. I will travel. I will fly because the ticket is booked. Everything is already fixed. Everything is done. No choice. So the point is this, when you, in real life, and I'll share other stories as well, but in real life, when you are faced with these kinds of things, you need to know that Jesus said, if you have faith, nothing will be impossible. He said it. Second, He said, according to your faith, it will be done. That means no man, no devil can stop it. And third, your will and desire is involved. So if I had backed off and said, oh, maybe God doesn't want me to fly. Maybe God doesn't want me to get married this year. Maybe God, whatever, I couldn't come up with so many things. No, but my desire and my will was set. I am going to fly. I will travel. Nothing and nobody is going to stop. I will come. So next Friday, the next day Friday, I went the afternoon before the office closed. They had it all ready. So I got my passport with the visa stamp and I flew. So the same people who told me yesterday, the other day, previous day, cannot be done. Everything was ready. I don't know. I don't bother how they did it or what happened. All I know is I responded in faith in my room before God. So God had to be done. And I went to the expectation. I'm collecting my passport with the visa and I'm going to fly. So like that, just simple examples where, you know, your will and desire is involved in this and the exercise of faith. If your will and desire is not set, if it is not found, if it is not fixed, then it's difficult to exercise faith. It's difficult to exercise faith. So we must have a determined desire. This will happen. I will get it done. I just like this woman. When she came to Jesus, she was not coming to bargain. She was not coming for 50-50. She was coming to receive. That's how you and I must be. So our will and our desire is involved. Let me see some other examples. And I'm emphasizing, re-emphasizing what I shared last week. I don't want to pass this really quickly. Now, you know, some people, and I want to address that now, some people may not agree with what I'm saying. There's all God is sovereign. How you can say your will, your desire is involved. And then they use these scriptures to argue against what we just said. So one argument will be, I put that on page 30. They might say, well, Jesus taught us to pray. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So he's teaching us to pray. Your kingdom come, your will be done. But understand that we have to understand this statement and the rest of what Jesus taught us about the kingdom of God. What is, he's not teaching us to pray this prayer passively.  Your kingdom come, your will be done. That means, in their minds, they're saying, whatever happens is God's kingdom, whatever happens is God's will. But that's not the posture. The posture is, God, I want to see your kingdom, your rule, your dominion established here on earth. Now, your will to be done. That's only, that's the only thing I'm going to settle for. Your kingdom and your will.  No, the posture is one of determination. The only thing I want to see here on earth, God is your kingdom and your will. And I'm here through prayer to enforce it to happen. Now, why do I say this is the right posture? Because Jesus taught us in Matthew 16, he has given the keys of the kingdom to whom? To us. If the keys are in your hands, then who must open the lock?  Matthew 16 is 18, 19. And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, kingdom of heaven. Yeah, I will give you the keys so that what you bind on earth, what you lose on earth. So who is to bind, who is to lose, or who is to lock and unlock? We, because we got the keys. So the posture when we pray, your kingdom come has to be understood with the fact that the keys of the kingdom are in our hands. So when we're praying God, your kingdom come, he's also saying very good, you want my kingdom there, but I put my keys in your hands. That means you bind, you lose to see my kingdom released on the earth. So that means my desire and my will is involved in seeing God's kingdom come and release on the earth. It's not a passive prayer of, oh thy kingdom come, thy will be done. No, it is God I am determined to see only your kingdom and your will establish wherever I have influence, wherever I am going to exercise the keys of the kingdom, your kingdom and your will is going to happen. So that's the understanding of Matthew 6.10 when he says you pray your will be done and your kingdom come and your will be done. Secondly, I will address this and I'll take questions. Okay, I'll address this, I'll give time for questions. The second argument that people might use to disagree with what we have said earlier that our will and our desire is involved in the exercise of faith. The second argument that people might use is, oh Jesus pray this prayer, oh my father if it's possible let this cup pass from me, nevertheless not as I will, but as you will, they'll use this prayer, Jesus pray, but then we explained earlier, only once in his entire earthly life and ministry as recorded for us, did Jesus pray this prayer. He did not pray this prayer, you know when there was a storm in the sea, oh father if it be thy will, let this storm pass, but nevertheless oh thy will, but if we have to die it's okay. He didn't pray like that. He rose up and he said peace be still and then he asked his disciples where is your faith, meaning you could have done this with your faith. He never even took time to ask father what is your will, you know father's will is for you to live, father's will is for you to go to the other side. So don't even bother, just exercise your faith over the situation, over the circumstance, that's the will of God. So Jesus never prayed if it be thy will when it came to healing the sake of feeding the multitudes, the calming the storm, or casting out demons, or even raising the dead. He knew what the father wanted, he did it. When the father gave him a specific word, he did it. Otherwise he just responded to people and faith based on their covenant with God. Okay, so God's will is always consistent with God's nature and God's word and God's promises. If you know God's nature, if you know God's word, if you know God's promises, you know the will of God because God's will is always consistent with his nature, with his word, with his promises. So you could just move out on that. All right, let me pause here and take any questions. Let me see if there are any questions in the chat. Good morning everyone on the classroom. Any questions from our online students? You all with me so far? Krisha, Krisha has a question. What if we pray in faith? We're constantly praying for something and expecting it to be answered. But at the time comes we see a different result. Does this mean we are weak in faith or is it God's will? Okay, so I'm not sure if I have a clear-cut answer for that, Krisha, because situations would vary. So one is if we know the will of God before we start, I mean that's usually what we should do, is know the will of God about a matter before we start. And if we know the will of God concerning a matter, then our journey of faith is to press through until we see the fullness of that accomplished. And as we will learn little later, sometimes we may see it happen progressively. Right, so you see some of it happen a little bit more, a little bit more. It's taking time, but our determination is I want to see the fullness of what God has promised. I want to see the fullness of that accomplished. And so I would say we need to continue, even if we see a partial fulfillment, you need to continue to press in to see the fullness of that promise fulfilled and expressed. Okay, now if we are not very clear about what the will of God is, then we just stay open. We know in general this is what God wants us to do, how exactly it would materialize, maybe different from what we have in vision, that's okay. As long as the main intent is fulfilled.  And so you journey through to it, it may not necessarily look as what you imagine, but that promise of God to you to have a home is fulfilled.  So that's how I would respond to it. And I'm speaking in general terms, but you know, from situation to situation, we need to understand what God wants us to do and pursue with him for that. Okay. So Christian has a follow up question. Sometimes it is discouraging. If you fail first time, we should try again for the same thing. I would say yes, even, you know, if you fail once, try again. For instance, I'll just give some examples. You know, sometimes when people come for the baptism, the Holy Spirit, the first time you pray, nothing happens. And we tell them, don't give up, you know, just come back next time. So they come back again, we pray again, and they may start praying in tongues, or they may start singing in tongues. And so amazing things will happen.  And the third occasion that we prayed, they had a powerful experience. And I remember one person, and I do share this particular testimony often, and he, he was a chain smoker. He used to, and then, you know, at that time, he was in his, I think, early 30s. So he'd been smoking for a long time, and he'd, you know, he was, I don't know how many packs, four or five packs a day, he would be smoking. Now he used to come to church, sit in the back and go. And he had already come two times to be prayed for the Holy Spirit, to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. So we said, don't give up. We always said people don't give up, keep coming back. So he came to the third time, got powerful, baptized in the Holy Spirit. Now his normal routine was every Sunday, come to church, attend service on the way back home, buy his pack of cigarettes to go and smoke. That day, that Sunday, he was baptized in the Holy Spirit on his way home, he forgot to buy cigarettes. And then after a few days, he told his wife, I haven't had a smoke for three days. I didn't even feel the desire to have it. And now it's more than 10, 15, I would say 12, 13 years now, he's never touched it.  So that's just one example where we keep pressing on till we receive. Let me back up, take up a question here from Deepika. Then we try to retain something in faith, but fail multiple times for many years. How do we ensure our faith doesn't become passive over the years of failure? We're going to learn some things later on in this course. One is to go back, keep going back to the same scriptures. Another thing is to keep the picture of God's promise always in your mind. And we will learn about this. Think about Abraham. When God called Abraham in Genesis 12, God said, I'm going to make you the father of a big nation. 15 years had gone and he had not had a child, he and Sarah. So he's very discouraged, 15 years, that's a long time. And so in Genesis chapter 15, one day he's talking to God. He says, God, you said, I'll have a child, no child. What's happening? Having a conversation with God. And then God tells Abraham, Abraham, come outside your tent, look up in the night sky, and he sees the stars.  So God is giving Abraham a visual picture of the fulfillment of his promise. That's how your descendants are going to be. And so you can imagine Abraham kept that picture in his mind. God said that my descendants will be like the stars in the sky. So that was a fulfillment, a picture of the promise of God. So I encourage you to do that, to keep that picture of the fulfillment of God's promise and stay in courage until we see that outcome. So keep going back to the promises and keep the picture of a fulfillment of God's promise in your mind. We'll talk more about that in this course later. Okay, Surya, repeat the words regarding heavenly keys. Okay, so that's Matthew chapter 16, Matthew chapter 16, verses 16 to 19. Jesus says, who do men say that I am? Peter says, you're the son of the living God. And then he repeats the promise. Matthew 16, 17, 18, I think it is 19. Matthew, thank you. Matthew 16, 19. Okay, all right. Okay, any other questions? Go ahead. I'm sorry. Okay, so Sean has a question. When do we pray, die will be done. So we pray, die will be done when we are praying the prayer of surrender or consecration, right? When we're praying, for example, the prayer of surrender, that means I want to go one way. My desire is to go one way, but God is telling me to go another way. That's when I pray, God, not my will, but die will be done, prayer of surrender. Similar to that is a prayer of consecration. Consecration means I am willingly dedicating myself for something to consecrate, dedicate. I'm willingly dedicating. So maybe similarly, my will may be to do something else with my life, but I willingly come and say, Lord, not as I will, but your will be done. I'm consecrating myself to do your will. So in a prayer of surrender, a prayer of consecration, we do this. Now, then there will be situations in life when we don't know the will of God. So then we say, Lord, I don't know what the right thing to do is. I don't know what the right thing to pray. So God, whatever you will let it happen. Or we can ask God, if we want to, we can ask God to reveal his will so that we can then pray according to the will of God. Or we just let it go, especially when somebody else is involved.  But if the sick person does not want to get healed, then we can't force it. So we say, God, we just release this person into your hands because we can't force that. Now, some people don't want to get well. Why?  That's much better. Or maybe they just tired of life, tired of fighting, you know, or maybe they just can't get themselves to a place to believe that God can heal them. So many reasons why some people are not ready to receive prayer for healing. So then we can't force healing on them. So it's a lot, we just release them. Okay, so those are situations where we do that. Okay, any questions from anyone else? Rin, I can't hear you because I was a fan. Speak a little loudly. Sorry. Healing evangelists. Okay. So Rin has a question here in class. The question is, God uses healing evangelists to heal people. Sometimes we hear of themselves, then also dying of some sickness, disease, so on, so forth. Why does that happen? There are several reasons, and we can put forward. One is the anointing of God and the gifts of healings are given to serve others. It's not for self. So God releases the healing anointing and the gifts of healing to serve other people. The gifts of the Spirit are given for the common good, 1 Corinthians 12, verse 11. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man as the Spirit wills. It's given for the common good. It's for the people. It's not for myself. I'm not using the gifts to serve myself. The gifts are to serve people. So the gifts of healings and the anointing will flow to minister to the people. But if I want to receive healing for myself or anyone of us, we have to extend our own personal faith in God to receive healing for ourselves. So that means I need to believe God and His word to receive healing for myself. And the fact is this, many healing evangelists, and if you are careful, we also do the same thing, it's easier to have faith for somebody else than to have faith for yourself. It's easier to pray and minister to somebody else in faith because you're under the anointing, the gifts of the Spirit are flowing. So it's easier to minister to somebody else than to have faith for your own self. Because to have faith for your own self, you have to do all these things we are learning in this course. You've got to meditate in the word of God. You have to exercise faith for yourself. So that's one reason. Another reason is that we are responsible to take care of our physical bodies. So if I neglect my own body, then while I'm ministering to others, I could wear my own body down. An example, you find an example of Epaphras in the Bible, who was an associate of the Apostle Paul. He was working alongside Paul. And I think it's in Philippians chapter, let me try to find the exact verse, just give me a moment. So Paul writes about Epaphras that he came close to death while he was serving God. And so he sends him back to, maybe it's in Colossians, let me just find the exact verse. I can't remember this. So Paul writes about him and he says, you know, he, for your sake, this is in Colossians 4 verse 12. And he mentions Epaphras, Colossians 4 verse 12. And he also mentioned somewhere that he almost came close to death. Philippians 2, 27. Yep. Thank you. Sorry. This is Epaphroditus, another one, another person. So thank you. That's the right verse. Philippians 2, 25 to 27. So Paul mentions another, not Epaphras, but another servant, fellow worker Epaphroditus. He says he was sick almost unto death. So you see this man, he was serving God alongside Paul. But he came close to death because he was so overworking himself. He was going to die. So Paul, you know, so that's another reason that, you know, we have to take care of our own selves while we are doing the ministry. Otherwise, many people just push themselves and they end up that way. And sometimes we just step out of the will of God. That is, if you're not doing God's will, and this has happened in some cases, you step out of the will of God, then that exposes us to attacks of the enemy of sickness and disease, and then they die. Okay. All right. Let's take a break. I will be back in 10 minutes. Thank you.


We started with what was actually happening in Maputo, Mozambique just coming to the end last week where we had 8 boxes from Kenya representing Kenya in the African Championship, a late boxing. It was a good performance from the Kenyan boys, Bagging, Silver and Bronze. We did a commendable tournament at the Africa Boxing Championship which was being held in Maputo, Mozambique. We had a big team of 25 boxers but unfortunately we didn't have resources to take all of them for the African Championship. So we only managed to get assistance from the National Olympic of Kenya where they came in and helped us, facilitated us actually to go and participate in the tournament. We took 8 boxers, 5 boys and 3 girls. Out of the 8 we were able to bag 4 medals which I think it's a very good performance by our boxers considering that most of the top African boxing nations were there. And actually we had 3 finalists because we got 3 Silver medals. It's unfortunate we didn't manage to win a gold medal but if you do an in-depth analysis of the performance of the team you'll see there's a good improvement. And also I can say some of our boxers are still performing at an older age considering somebody like Niko Koth who was defending his title. Managed to get up to the final and won a silver medal and he last won that gold medal in 2017 at the Africa Championship in Congo Brazzaville. And this time round he still managed to get to the finals and he won a silver medal losing to Azambian on points and it has split point 3-2. So it was a very close fight. Again even if you look for the boxers who lost in the preliminary rounds. For instance David Caranja lost to a South African and that South African went on to win a bronze medal. Shafi Bakari lost to Botswana, Botswana and Boxer and the fellow went and won a silver medal. Christine Ongare lost to Azambian, the Azambian won a gold medal. So even the boxers we lost again is quality boxers who went on to perform very well in the tournament. So I would say the future is bright for us and our boxers are doing quite well and the tournament was also being used as qualifier for world championship. So at least for the four we will have qualified automatically but unfortunately I am aware that our captain Commander Niko Koth might not make that tournament. That is what I was coming up to because now we understand that Commander Niko is actually coming to I think the twilight years of his career at 37-39. 39 now. 39 now and he's actually been the captain for Team Kenya now and he's coming to the end of his captaincy. So just give us a brief overview of the career of Nick because he has had a very good career from being actually in the Kenya defense forces and also representing Kenya in Olympics in Africa when it comes to boxing. Ya he has a very long illustrious career. I remember when he was starting. I actually competed against him. So we sharpened him. I defeated him in one of our earlier bouts when he was still very young. He was an up-coming but very promising. We had a competitive bout and he went on to down the national colors for I think more than 15 years. He has competed in two Olympic Games Beijing 2008 and 2020. It's not easy considering there were two Olympics 2012 and 2016 he didn't qualify but he still managed to qualify for the 2020 Olympic Games. I think he has done four Commonwealth Games and won a bronze medal from 2010 in India daily and I think from that championship he got a baby and named the daughter daily. So I think generally I'll say Nick Kukot has been a very good sports person in general and a wonderful captain for the team. He always inspires the team whenever he will go for these international assignments. He wants to be the first one to start the tournament. Somehow he believes that he starts with good luck when he gets into the ring, fights very well, wins. He believes that sets the pace for the rest of the team and I think it's very important when you have somebody who inspires you because even the younger boxers in the team look up to him and so I think he was an inspiration person. As a federation we are very proud of him. We also assisted him preparing for transition because when we organized for an iBuster 1 coaching course we ensured that he participated and thank God he qualified. He has just not activated the coaching part of it but now that he has hung his gloves I believe he's going to now activate his coaching and start passing the knowledge that he has to youngsters and we hope he's going to groom youngsters who will perform just like he did or much better than he is. We are looking at his category in the lightweight category which he has dominated for a better part of I think a 20 year career that he has been in boxing and there are some names that you can tell us who actually take over from him now because he has really made a mark in the lightweight division. Yes we have several upcoming boxers who have been competing with him but what I can say, what I know from the reality on the ground is that the gap between him and the next boxers is very wide because the kind of experience he has when you have represented the country in more than 16 years at the top level. And locally he's been defeating. I think for the last maybe 5 years nobody has been defeated him. So I think the gap between him and the upcoming boxers is very wide but now it means that as a federation we need to do our homework well and give the upcoming boxers in that weight category some exposures so that they can be able to start building their experiences and so that when we take them for international assignments they are able to do it. Because for us as a country when we take our boxers out there we just don't take them to go and participate you want them to go out there and compete and win medals. So that's why you see sometimes the difference in experiences is very huge in that you have somebody whom you can reliably whenever you are going out you can say that you expect a medal from this person. Niko kut you expect a medal from him. But now if you take the next person in that weight category when you take them out there because they don't have that much experience you wouldn't be so confident that they are going to win a medal. But I believe there is a youngster who is coming up called Cleave Joshua Cleave they participate he was the runner up during the trials that we did for the Africa championship. He is in the youth national team and I believe he is very promising he started boxing way back when he was a junior and now he has become of age and where he is now competing with the likes of Niko Kut.  There is also this kid who came in with a silver medal in actually the featherweight division that's Samuel Wajomun Jawa. He is also a new kid that not many people know him but what a performance he had in Maputo to get a silver medal. Actually I expected Jawa to win a gold medal. He is a new kid on the block he is not known so you see sometimes when you are known people will do research on you. The opposition also does research to know how they are going to continue but when you bring somebody who is top quality and he is not known he is somehow good because nobody knows how he plays. Nobody has this video clips of what to expect out of such. Fonjao is originally he came from G44 he is a club in Ghidorai 44 and then he was recruited by KDF so he is in the KDF team and he is the team captain. We took him for Africa zone 3 boxing championship in DRC Kinshasa and he won a gold medal earlier this year. So when we were now selecting the team because we also had a serious challenge to select the team to go for the Africa championship because like I told you we were 25. Actually we had about 29 boxes in camp and of course full team is 25 where we have 13 male and 12 female but now when we had financial difficulty and we had to select a smaller team to go and represent. We had a difficulty now trying to select who are the boxers that we are going to pick to go and represent us. And we thought Njao was very promising and we see him as somebody who is the next big thing in our local boxing scene because he is very talented he boxed very well and very soon he is going to be experienced enough because he hasn't had that much exposure because this was his second debut at the national team. So I believe he is somebody who has got a very promising future in the ring and I believe even when we go for the olympic qualifiers I believe he is one of the boxers that we respect to qualify for the Paris 2024 olympic games. And also we had also another kid born first Mugunde. Yeah, born first Mugunde at light middleweight category has done very well. Mugunde won bronze medal in the 2019 Africa games and that was his first international assignment. He is very promising. Of course some changes happened when Aiba now increased the weight categories so because born first Mugunde used to box at light weight category which was 69 kgs. But now once the adjustments were done he had to go upweight now he is boxing at light middleweight which is 71 kgs and he is performing very well. We took him for Africa zone 3 twice he has won a bronze and a silver. Now at the Africa championship he has won a bronze medal and that weight was very competitive. Even the common weight silver medalist from Mozambique was in that same weight category and he didn't get a medal. So it was a commendable performance for born first Mugunde to win the bronze medal because when you look at the quality in that weight class it's very tough. Even for olympic qualifier I know it will be very tough to pick the top four boxers in Africa. But if now he is winning medal at Africa championship I believe he should be one of the four boxers who will qualify for the olympic games 2024. Unfortunately last time we are very hopeful that Mugunde will qualify but now the world qualifiers didn't happen. We had an incident when we went for the africa olympic qualifiers. Mugunde boxed very well first round and then he got he was hit a lucky punch by a kanerunian boxer and knocked out. That's how he lost and the boxer who won that gold medal the kanerunian has since participated in zone 3 box in championship twice. Now in Africa championship he didn't win any medal so Mugunde is performing way better than the person who defeated him at the africa olympic qualifier. Ya he was lucky but okay it was I don't know the time we did the Africa qualifier he was boxing well because he went on to win the gold medal during the Africa qualifier. In Tokyo he didn't perform very well and even in the zone 3 box in championship Mugunde has been performing better than him by far. So I believe even where you go for the olympic qualifiers Mugunde has a very good chance of qualifying for the olympic games. As we finished this conversation of the Africa that was happening in Maputo we've got to talk about the lady Elizabeth and Diego also coming home with a silver medal. It's a big one for us. Ya very big. Actually she surprised me getting to the finals of the Africa championship and what surprised me even more was that when she travelled to Maputo she was travelling as a light heavyweight. Light heavyweight starts at 76 kgs and when she got to Maputo she was the only one in light heavyweight category so she could not win a medal if she is alone. So she had to gain 5 kgs in 3 days to compete at heavyweight category. We will talk about that when we come back. Let's go for a short commercial break when we come back we have to understand how we can win 5 kgs in 3 days to get to boxing. It is the touchline here on why 254 welcome back to the program. It's all about sports. We'll be coming back later with the funds to discuss everything about football but let's go back to the conversation we were having early in just a few minutes. When Duncan was telling me that Elizabeth had to gain 5 kgs in 3 days to compete in that competition. How did that come to happen? Ya like I told you she was supposed to compete at light heavyweight category but when she got to Mozambique she found that there were no other light heavyweights. She was the only one entered light heavyweight so she had to move weight category. And therefore she had to gain 5 kgs because light heavyweight category starts at 81 plus and she is at 76. So during the day of weighing in the day you have to compete in the morning you have to weigh in. And if you are underweight you can't compete. If you are overweight you can't compete. So we were risking that she might be underweight. And then it means she had to take a lot of water and eat a lot of food which again makes her uncomfortable. So it was not easy ensuring that she gained that weight. And also during that time she really minimized she was not training because when she trains the weight goes down and wants to go up. So she had a tough time gaining the weight but luckily she was able to attain the weight. So during the day she was weighing in for her semifinal bout where she was competing against a lady called Sintole from South Africa. It's a lady we had seen competing during the world championship in Istanbul. So at least she knew how the lady boxes and she performed very well because in her first bout as a heavyweight she managed to knock out the South African in the first round which was commendable. Well all in all we can say that the Maputo Competition for the African Championship was a very good outing for Kenya compared to the last edition. Ya by far. Ya because during the last edition you only had one finalist Niku Koth. This time round we had four finalists which was good. Although when you look at the quality of her position because now for Elizabeth and Diego. Yes. In the final she was competing against Mady Kadija from Morocco. A very experienced boxer. Kadija is a 2019 middleweight gold medalist. Africa Olympic qualifiers middleweight gold medalist. Now she has a story herself because during this time when we had a covid break she had qualified as a gold medalist in middleweight. Yes. For the Tokyo Olympic Games but now when we had that break when the Olympic Games were suspended she somehow got herself pregnant. Wow. And she gave birth 40 days to the beginning of the Olympic Games. So she was not able to compete at the Olympics. And she made her comeback this year during the world championships and she moved from middleweight now to heavyweight. And she managed to get to the finals of the world championship where she won a silver medal. And I think it was just bad luck. She looked to be in shape to win the gold medal at the world championship. So I knew it was going to be a very competitive game. It was going to be difficult for Elizabeth and Diego competing against Mady Kadija because she is huge. Yes. When you look at the body shapes she was way way way bigger than Elizabeth. She is tall so she knows how to use her height very well. And so Elizabeth had a very tough time trying to get her range competing against Kadija. Who is again we say it's a top quality boxer from Africa. And that's somebody whom even at the Olympic Games you expect her to go and win a medal. Because she is a top top Africa boxer. For somebody like Njao Njao we expected that fight to be competitive. So we expected him to win and I believe if we go for the Olympic qualifier and Njao meets the same boxer from Mozambique. Njao will qualify for the Olympics defeating that boxer from Mozambique because I don't believe it was that good. But just a few mistakes that Njao needs to correct and he'll be able to win. Nikokoz it was a very close bout. 3-2 judges. It means 3 judges voted that the champion won. 2 judges voted that Nik won. So it was that close. Out of the 5 judges in a ring they were split halfway. So I believe it was also a very competitive game and unfortunately we were not liking the day that none of the 3 decisions went our way. But I believe we are not doing very badly. I believe when we get back to work and prepare our boys better for the Olympic qualifiers we are likely to have more boxers qualifying for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Speaking about qualifications I understand also that the world youth championship trials are going on and also will be talking about the Olympics qualifications. But tell us about the trials for the world youth championship. Some of the young kiddos will be keeping our eyes on. In boxing we have 8 groups. We have school boys and girls. Then we have juniors. The juniors are from 16 to 16. Then we have youths at 17 and 18. So later this year in November we have world championship for the youth that is 17 and 18 years old. So we are having trials ongoing. I think the finals have just started at Jericho social hall now. I think we have 10 bouts. Somehow we didn't get very many boxers because I think we have about 49 male boxers and about 6 girls. We are trying to select a team that is going to represent us during the world championship to be held in November. I believe one of the things that might have made the boxers to be a bit fewer is the requirement that we put that somebody has to come with a bad certificate. Sometimes we need to prove the age of our athletes and we don't want to be involved in what they call age cheating. I think it's more ample in football but in boxing we thought it was very important that any boxers coming to compete they must produce their bad certificate to prove that they were born within the age limit that is provided. So I think the young guys who are there are doing a very good job. The tournament has been very competitive and you are expecting that at the end of the day we will be able to select good boxers who can be able to go and present the country effectively at the world championship. They also form a very good base because we expect them to graduate to seniors from the youth and I believe it will be good when we have very many of them competing and challenging the seniors at the elite level and that will ensure that the future of boxing in the country is going to be sustained for many years to come because we expect to continue doing the juniors and school boys and girls tournament so that we give youngsters chance to showcase their talent and I believe we are going places in boxing this time round. We are still hanging out with Dan Kankura is actually the communications director boxing federation of Kenya and we are talking about mostly what is happening in the world of boxing and let's talk about also the Olympic qualifiers that are also coming up. So when we were talking of Alia it just comes to my mind that boxing qualifying for the Olympics from a boxing perspective looks to be one of the toughest stages to go through for you to qualify for the Olympics. Ya, it's not easy to qualify for Olympics and especially like now you know in the past like when Wangila won his gold medal in 1988 Kenya could take a full team of 12 boxers to the Olympics and that's what they did. Kenya alone took 12 boxers but you see now from 1992 that's when now we brought in the qualifying process where boxers for you to go and represent the country at the Olympic games you have to qualify in the continent. So it's Africa. So normally they take the top 4 boxers in every weight category although when you went for the Tokyo Olympic games it was a bit different because like for the lower weights you had 3 boxers in each weight category qualifying for the Olympic games and in the higher weights which is the heavyweight and super heavyweights you are only picking the top 2 boxers in Africa. So sometimes it saddens me because you find in some of our groups of people we thought are informed journalists discussing how we are taking older boxers to the Olympic games and it's not like it's boxing federation of Kenya taking the boxers to the Olympic games. These boxers go for Olympic qualifiers and qualify as the top boxers in Africa to be able to participate at the Olympic games and so it's not easy to qualify for Olympic games and it's a dream for each and every athlete to be able to participate at the Olympic games and we are very lucky as a country because we have never failed to qualify for Olympic games and we expect even in the 2024 Olympic games we are going to have representative there. Well tomorrow also we are going to be having the international boxing association extra ordinary congress that will be coming up in Armenia and they understand also our president will be representing us. What do we expect? What are some of the major decisions that will be coming out of that congress or what are some of the key decisions that people are waiting for from that congress? Yes, tomorrow we have an extra ordinary congress, it's going to be happening in Armenia, here in the capital of Armenia city and we believe that the key decisions to be done are two. When the congress starts there is a decision that has to be taken on whether we are going to have presidential election because I believe in the congress that was done in Istanbul in May. We elected Umar Kremlov as the president of international boxing association and later on one of the candidates who was disqualified, Mr. Boris van der Wost from Netherlands went and protested the decision at the court of arbitration for sports and the decision of eliminating him from the presidential race was reversed. The boxing integrity unit that disqualified him was said to have gone overboard, they should not have disqualified him because I think he has done a small mistake of early campaigns. So now the congress is supposed to decide whether we are going to have presidential election and then if they agree that we are going to have new elections now we are going to vote. There is an earlier meeting that has been done where they are likely to have only two candidates, the current president who is Umar Kremlov from Russia and now Boris van der Wost from Netherlands. Us as boxing federation of Kenya we are fully behind the current president Mr. Umar Kremlov because I believe he has done so much for boxing. Just now we have just from analyzing Africa boxing championship and maybe there is something very important we forgot that during this Africa boxing championship for the first time in the history of Africa boxing championship boxers were given cash awards. For boxers who won gold medal they were getting $10,000, our three boxers who got the final and won silver medals each got $5,000 and Boniface Mugunde who got a bronze medal won himself $2,500. That is the first time that has been done in Africa boxing and it has been done courtesy of the current IBA president Mr. Umar Kremlov. So I believe it is very important that as a continent we ensure that we support the current president to continue with the many different initiatives that he has started to reform boxing in the world. The most important thing will be to support him so that he is able to push the agenda of boxing especially having to go back to the Olympic family because we have a challenge. Like even for the Olympic qualifiers that are coming the international Olympic committee has decided that they are going to organize boxing themselves that we have challenges in IBA. So we thought it is a bit unfair but I believe if we give Mr. Umar Kremlov a chance to be able to lead the international federation he is likely to bring much improvement that is required in the sport. And I believe the future of boxing is very bright with Umar at the helm because he has been able to transform so much. He has given so many equipment to different federations and equipment is what help us to tap talent at the grass road level. Like when he came to Kenya he was able to give us more than 100 boxing gloves, 100 headgears and pads which we distributed to different gloves which he had identified before coming. So I believe that is the kind of leadership that we require to be able to transform the sport. But during the world championship that were done both in Belgrade and in Istanbul the boxers who are winning there were getting prize money $100,000 for winning a gold medal, $70,000 for a silver medal and $50,000 for a bronze medal. I believe that is the kind of money that you win as an athlete it transforms your life for good. So I believe Umar is good for the sport and tomorrow we are going to make that decision. The federation we don't see why we need to go back to election because we made a decision and we could see most of the international federation believe Umar Kremlin is the best for boxing at the moment. Probably maybe IOC might be having a different feeling that Umar might not be the best. We had a problem with him being Russian and the problem with Russia and Ukraine and also there was a problem in the sense that one of the key sponsors of boxing international federation in Gazpo which is from Russia is an oil company from Russia is one of the main sponsors of the International Boxing Association and IOC had reason some questions about that but I believe nevertheless Umar has the best interest of improving the status of boxing in the world and we are going to support him fully. Briefly let's talk about the kickoff of the national league boxing also coming up next week. How is it structured and how is it going to happen? Yes, this time we had a very busy international assignment much earlier in the year that we were not able to start our national boxing league and we are going to start it next week from 29th to 1st. It's going to be in Transoya County, Kitale. So it's rotating? It rotates, that's first leg. So we are going to have five legs. The first one is going to happen in Transoya. I believe the second one is going to Meru. The third one will go to Likipia County. The fourth one will go to Mombasa County and the fifth one will go to Kesumo County. So we normally go around different counties so that we are able to attract as many people into the sport of boxing as possible. So all boxers they should prepare. We meet from Thursday in Kitale and it's the first time boxing is going to Kitale because Transoya is relatively new at boxing. These are now fruits of the new constitution and the sports act of 2013 because we had not devolved boxing to the grassroot level. But this time around we are going to Transoya County for the very first time. We are hoping to get good reception there. We are hoping to inspire more boxers from that area. I know in my inbox I get a lot of requests from some counties where so far we don't have boxing clubs like Wasengishu. And I believe it's a high time of the federation we go to an area like Wasengishu County and top talent there because there are so many boxers who request me if they can join boxing even up an area like Kericho County. Sometimes we know you are advising them to go. The nearest is Kesumo County which is the neighborhood but I believe every county that has got talent we need to give them a chance to be able to showcase their talent and uneven from the sport. And I believe the future of the sport is very bright and we are going to assure that as many counties as possible get registered and we get those county boxing associations so that they can be able to continue tapping talent at the county level. And I believe when we have counties that are very competitive then definitely when we do our national tournaments it's going to be very competitive and we go back to some of those old days when we had national leagues who are very competitive we could be able to send four different teams to four different international assignments and all come back with victories. So I believe it's still possible but we need some work to be able to build the structures that are there and make them better so that when we get to now doing these tournaments we get very high turn out of boxers and issues just not to produce the volumes but also quality. So we also need to look at the coaching aspect of the sport at the local level because we need to have coaches who are qualified at the local level producing talent with the right basics so that when we come to the national team we are again not having to teach basics because those basics have been taught and mastered at the local level and when you get to the national team level just polishing that talent and taking it out there to make the country proud. Well thanks a lot Duncan, that has been Duncan Kuruya with the Communications Director of Boxing Association Boxing Federation of Kenya actually, pardon me for that. I'm Robert Osoro, it is the touchline. Let's enjoy some highlights of England losing to Italy, Warnill in the UF Nations League and also Hungary winning Warnill against Germany. When we come back it will be all about the fund zone.


We are walking because we want to see the change in India. Right now nothing is going right in India and we are not happy with it. We see a hope in Rahul Gandhi and he raises questions we really want to ask the president. So we fully support him. He is a very nice person, gentle heart, he is a very level headed guy and he has been asking me very relevant questions. As per my profession I am a stock market guy and I think only a person who has economic knowledge would have asked such questions and he is a brilliant guy. I have been walking since four days and I have met thousands of people and I have asked them only one question. Did anybody pay you to get here? And everybody said no. They came on their own, they have been self motivated and they want to see the change which they themselves are not able to get it. So they want somebody like Rahul Gandhi who would help them to get the change in this society. If you want a safe India, if you want economically strong India if you want to fight China and Pakistan diplomatically and if you want to face all the adversaries you need level headed people and a good team. And I think Rahul Gandhi and Congress has a very good team to sort out this issue because they have done it earlier, they can do it now. So join us, join BJW. Namaskar, my name is Asim Sarod, I am an advocate. Today I met Rahul Gandhi and while I was travelling I tried to talk to him because Mahatma Gandhi has always given me some programs and some work to do. And for that I said that there is an important issue which everyone agrees to. Congress in every city should adopt the river adopt the river and work with it. So people will feel that something is happening between the people. Today India needs a leader who is educated like this. Mahatma Gandhi has a lot of people in Congress and that's why we don't have to be part of any party. Join us, I have a very old relationship with this person because joining is very difficult and breaking is very easy. Some people say that India is not broken, how can it be broken? I think that the mind is broken. In every family, on the basis of the political party in which the hate bombs have been fired India needs to be united and travel is very important to me. This is my birthright and my freedom is being attacked. So we will have to struggle for it. After 2014, the money is being taken from the poor people and it is being given to the rich people. What is this? This is the role of making a slave.  That is why we are in this journey and we have to walk the path of Gandhi. Gandhi had to go to the ultimate truth and very quickly he got freedom. The importance of Ainsa is that Ainsa can be the same person who has the power and the strength. Gandhi was not a powerful man. He was not afraid of anyone. He knew that no one can harm him. He is the soul. He understood the ultimate truth. The poverty is increasing. Unemployment is increasing. You have lied to the people. You will pay well. You will pay 15 lakhs. You will pay 2 crores of daily wage. You are taking back the daily wage. All the wealth of the country that you have spent in the past 70 years is being sold to the public sector. You are going to sell one by one but you will keep lying to the truth. The education of the public sector is very difficult. If you go to Magashpur, you will understand that there is no chance of development in OBC. It is all due to the lack of funds. In the whole of India, D&T is being denoted as non-medical and semi-noid. The population of the country is about 20 crores. The commission that surveyed the rapids of 54% of 20 crores are staying under the sky. There is no house in the village. There is no farm in the jungle. This is an identity crisis. This is a criminal stigma. The law is not legal. But in the mind of the police, that stigma is still there. That is why the wealth of the government cannot be taken advantage of. Because if they want to take advantage, they have to produce card certificates, residential certificates. For the card certificates, there is a condition that from the early 1960s, continuous days used to be pro-doers. Is it possible? It is not possible. But doesn't it have a basis? It is the same problem. What exactly did your commission say? National Rwajirika study group has said that they are not citizens but denizens of India. That is why a campaign is to be vigorously to provide identity. The identity of the traditional occupation continues to vanish. They are deprived from the traditional livelihood means. Like protection. So your recommendation number one is identity? Identity. Second is social security. Now in social security, there are victims of atrocities. How do you give them security? Protection of atrocity act. For a CST. There is no act for a nomadic act. There is no basic act. So the atrocity protection act can be extended to them. They have said that the land of Bhatkiyavimukta has to be recreated and the Bhatkiyavimukta is waiting for it. If we think about Bhatkiyavimukta again, we can see the history of the Kashi. It is neither yours nor mine. This is the history of India. If you don't understand then it is the history of the Kashi. The rivers that we found are not visible. They are made by the sea. But it is the history of the Kashi. There are thousands of ways to reach there. It is said that this is the history of the Kashi. When we came to know about the journey, we were hoping that there will be a historical journey. When we went to Kanyakumari, we thought that this is a tough challenge. When I started my first Yatra, I felt a little lonely there. Walking continuously for 25 kilometers every day was not at all easy. But after 4-5 days it has been habituated then it became easy. When we started our journey from the camp in the morning, we met people on the way. We met small children. We saw that elderly women and elderly people were holding the flag of India. We used to talk to them. We met the farmers. And the love of the people we met, I cannot describe it in words. There are 4 children. There are 2 grandmothers. The grandmothers used to say when will the father come? When will the father come? They used to say, when will I come? When will I bring you many things? These are the words that are Esperanto. Everyone wants to be with Rahul Gandhi. People say that if someone has come to join the nation, that if the nation has come to act against this, then Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi is with Rahul Gandhi. 75 days. 75 days of walking. 75 days of cuddle Jodo Yatra.  What is actually happening is a massive unfairness by a small group of people against millions of people who just don't understand what's going on That should be their discourse My view is that the answer is it's a crystallization between the 15 people or 20 people who take all the wealth of this country that you are being caught in a way that you cannot even imagine Yes, it's a counter to identity politics One way to counter this is to make people aware of the diversity in the country Religious diversity, ethnic diversity, gender diversity When we deconstruct this diversity, when we do it with youth and with others it is greatly appreciated I have seen the people of this country for the first time and they have come to ask their questions I am very happy that they have come to ask their questions Since 2014, we have seen a hopelessness in the people I see a hope in Bharat Joruiyatra It's a democratic movement My name is Dr. Seyed Yasireli I have come here to meet Rahul Gandhi I am very happy that I have come to meet them I have started my journey from Navraj to Bharat Joruiyatra I have come to meet them because we have a degree but we don't have a job Today, the unemployment rate has increased because the government is not taking any steps So, I am standing against unemployment I am Pradeep Khedur and I am from Maharashtra I am from Sewagram Ashram, Garda I am a minister here I have been travelling for a long time I think that I have come here for a while because of the unemployment rate and I have some important questions The unemployment rate, the unemployment rate, the unemployment rate No one was talking about these questions This question was not answered by the media but because of this journey, I have taken important questions and that is why I am happy and this question has been answered People have started to talk about this This is an important part of the journey I have taken the time to answer these questions and the discussion has started I have come to the conclusion that there is no way I have to join everyone and this journey has started with a change This is a part of the journey


Here's the tool chest. We're going to clean it up. It's pretty dirty up there Pretty dirty down through there. Of course, you know, it's got our paw prints on it.

I have mentioned I mentioned the part of the story I believe if we were live streaming I had mentioned what her dad said about this box, but I didn't really Get into the conversation But I told monkey about it, but Right before right before they they went into the nursing home To where he Ended up never coming back out, you know He went to the hospital and they went to one nursing home And we ended up having to move them out this way so they could be closer, but it was right before you know It's last time in his own home. It wasn't too long after that's when What happened monkey went over to check on them. They were both about dead I mean she had to call two ambulances.  So I sat there with her dad, you know, and We talked about his Corvette. We talked about, you know, his Camaro's and he wanted to know about some of the cars I've had and you know, he's talking about older cars, you know, like 60s and 50s and You know early 70s the true muscle course He knew right off the bat, you know He you know, he knew I was in this kind of stuff. So it was good to finally got to sit down and talk about this stuff and Came on to You know the the toolbox.  He says it's not like I'm ever gonna need it again He said if I do, you know, I know where it is. I'll give you a call. You can worry about it and You know, he said and anything you need out in that garage Marty, he said get it take it Keep it's your place. If I need it if I ever need it again, which I highly doubt all You know, I know where it is. I'll I'll give you a call much. No, it's like cool so and We was talking about these toolbox, you know, because I had one similar to that in Ohio It was about this I well might have been a little taller But mine had stereo up in the door when you raise the door up had a car stereo a couple speakers But other than that it was real similar to this But I showed him pictures of my toolbox it was you know, my wooden toolbox there and I told him the story about The toolbox, you know how the guy that had it built buses for Barber Man drill and you know a bunch of singers and he also showed me the pictures of standing with the people in front of their buses and This toolbox was in a lot of them pictures. So I mean it was verified in fact the bus he custom-built a bus for Little Richard and He built that toolbox to use because he was he did like that the the cabinetries and stuff So he built that that toolbox to use on this bus And he built the toolbox in the same way that little Richard's bus was built and he showed me pictures of him With his arm around little Richard in that bus With his toolbox right there beside him and all the cabinetry behind it all matching So I told him that story and I showed him pictures of it And you know how I got the red velvet stuff in there for my tools and stuff and he said man You really appreciate tools. I said, oh, yeah I said I love me, you know because I told him I said that but you know it ain't not like your box but I said I am out of room of mind and So I said I though I love it I'll never get rid of it I said because you know monkey bought that for me and I said, oh, you know But I said eventually I said we come into some extra money some time I said I said I'm just gonna have your daughter buy me a box just like yours. He said Marty he said what won't she just hold off on that for a bit I said hold off on it, huh? He said yeah, and he says uh, you know, so if you come into some money real soon Don't don't run out and buy you one of them Because he says that one in that garage is going to go to you. It's gonna belong to you He said, you know, I can't give it to my grandson. He says he don't take care of nothing. He's seen Which is a monkey sign. He had seen him Pull out the driveway and start heading up the street ranch is falling He's you know her dad's ranch is falling off the roof or truck and he'd have to go pick them up And he says I see by the pictures. He says, you know, it's it's You really appreciate things because I told him about my ratchets, you know my my Which he saw some pictures of me in the toolbox You know my antique ratchets and they're in good shape when I told him You know how I love to use them and when I get up my hand. I just feel You know, you know what there's a lot of questions go through my head, you know What what has somebody built with this ratchet, you know, how many bolts is a turn and You know, what was the guy like that used it? He was really touched and moved by that. He says yeah, he said um He said there's no way he's not getting the toolbox He said anything out in that garage that you want.  He says, you know that that tool chest and you know any tools they're going to Marty You know Billy and if Marty wants him to have some which I was going to give to him, but that's Not no more. I'm just this is all mine. No, but what the thing of it is oh You know this box ain't never won't come out of this garage Unless we happen to move or something And the only way we're gonna move is if we find a good cheap place on the water somewhere So, you know this home place is paid for so You know, so we're gonna be here while But this is gonna stay with me as long as I'm alive. That's one and that one and after that, you know Whatever happens happens, but anyway, I wanted to share that story with you because Yeah, that meant a lot to me because I didn't know him real well, but you know You know the gear heads like I showed you the empty drawers how they need cleaned out But the gear heads I know a lot of you a lot of you guys aren't into this kind of stuff But I know the gear heads are and I'm proud of this box, you know Yeah, he gave it to me, you know, and so I'm kind of You know when I use some of these tools like the welders, you know when I'm welding it It's kind of like I'm keeping his legacy alive.
