I didn’t know who Charlie Kirk was until he was assassinated a few days ago. So I decided to read up a little about him.
He was a 31-year-old American conservative activist, a born-again Christian, outspoken about his faith, and someone who promoted biblical values in culture and politics.
He stood for free markets, limited government, traditional family values, and the “America First” movement, aiming to mobilize young people for both conservative and Christian causes.
The news of his death shook the media. Many rejoiced; many mourned. I even saw a headline where a witch claimed she had cursed him a few days before he died. I didn’t bother opening the article — her claim was ridiculous. She should go and ask Balaam what happened when king Balaak hired him to curse Israel.
Balaam said in Numbers 23:23, "No curse can touch Jacob; no magic has any power against Israel."
So no, Charlie Kirk wasn't hexed. If Charlie Kirk was a child of God, and he was killed (or should I say matyred?), it was because God allowed it. Why God allowed it isn't for us to understand.
This afternoon, as I lay on my bed, just waking from sleep, this thought came to me:
“They thought that killing Charlie Kirk would silence his voice. But God is just getting started. Out of his martyred blood, hundreds and thousands of young people like him will rise with the same message they tried to drown by killing Charlie Kirk. A seed has been sown. It will germinate, bloom, and flourish.
The devil tried that with Jesus, but he never knew that crucifying the Lord of glory would trigger a revolution that will birth the age of the little Christs; the dispensation of grace.”
So I say, Good night, Charlie Kirk. May God give his wife and his two adorable children the strength to endure this very difficult moment. His legacy lives on.
And, like it was written on the podium from which his wife Erika addressed the nation concerning his death,
“May Charlie be received into the merciful arms of Jesus, our loving Saviour.”
Sleep well.
