Sodium being very reactive is stored in kerosene because it gets prevented from coming in contact with oxygen and moisture. If this happens, it will react with the moisture present in air and form sodium hydroxide. This is a strongly exothermic reaction, and lot of heat is generated.

...hope this answer helps :D
