Babu Owino opens up on the spiritual lessons he drew from Rhema Feast
By Steve Ireri, September 6, 2025Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has spoken of his spiritual awakening after attending the grand finale of Rhema Feast, a five-day gospel gathering that drew thousands of believers at Uhuru Park and brought together renowned ministers of the gospel from across Africa.
The Feast, convened by Reverend Julian Kyula of Ruach Ministries, climaxed on Friday, September 5, 2025, with a powerful prayer rally that left worshippers deeply moved.
Pastor James Maina Ng’ang’a of Neno Evangelism was among the most stirring voices of the night, sharing his journey from prison to pulpit, while other headliners such as Pastor T Mwangi of Life Church International Limuru, Lady Bishop Funke Felix Adejumo of Nigeria, Felix Okoh of South Africa, Lady Bishop Kathy Kiuna, Bishop J.B. Masinde, and Apostle Joshua Selman added their voices to the call for revival across the continent.
For Babu Owino, the experience went beyond simply attending a religious function.
In a post on his TikTok page on Saturday, September 6, 2025, he described the finale as a sacred moment of unity, hope, and spiritual strength at a time when the world feels engulfed in chaos and division.

He noted that the sight of people from diverse backgrounds, both young and old, standing shoulder to shoulder in prayer was a powerful reminder of what faith can achieve when it transcends barriers.
“Yesterday at RHEMA FEAST. I was filled with gratitude and inspiration after attending the prayer rally. It was more than just a gathering, it was a moment of unity, hope, and spiritual strength. In a world that often feels chaotic, divided, and uncertain, the prayer rally reminded me of the power we have when we come together in faith. People from different walks of life, young and old, from various backgrounds, stood side by side, lifting their voices not in protest, but in prayer,” Babu wrote.
He reflected on the peaceful atmosphere that defined the rally, observing how worshippers openly laid down their burdens, worries, and aspirations before God.
“There was a deep sense of peace that filled the air. We weren’t there to push an agenda or make noise. We were there to seek guidance, healing, and connection with God. One of the most moving parts for me was seeing the vulnerability in the crowd, people laying down their worries, their hopes, their burdens before God. It reminded me that prayer is not just a religious act; it’s a human one. It’s how we cope, how we hope, and how we heal,” he added.
The MP further explained that such gatherings should not end as fleeting moments of inspiration but should be seen as calls to action.
He emphasised that the spirit of Rhema Feast must be carried into everyday life through love, service, listening, and above all, prayer that continues beyond large rallies into private devotion.
“I believe that events like these are not just for inspiration, they’re a call to action. To love more. To serve more. To listen more. And above all, to continue praying, not just during rallies, but in our everyday lives,” he said.
In his reflections, he underlined that prayer is a way of coping, hoping, and healing, and a foundation for building stronger communities.
He pointed out that the unity displayed at Uhuru Park was a lesson in how faith can bring people together without noise, protest, or agenda, but through a shared search for divine guidance and strength.
“Let’s carry the spirit of RHEMA FEAST into the days ahead. Let it guide how we treat each other, how we serve our communities, and how we live out our faith.”
