”In the beginning, was the word, and the word was with God; the word was God, without whom nothing existed.” John 1:1
This is the very word that takes us back to our divine lineage, and explains our mission on earth. It also is the detail that draws us closer to the almighty, in our quest for love and compassion, from the creator of all things.
The expression goes further to introduce us to our maker, as the source of life, and goes ahead to unravel mysteries surrounding the specific purpose for which we exist.
There is, however, an underlying fact, always left out when evaluating the immense contribution made by the very statement, in a bid to understand God’s designed work plan.
The portion of scripture is the turn of phrase that, by all means, draws your attention to great personalities responsible for the moving of mountains, and the turn-a-round of the world, as witnessed in our generation.
These are no doubt, today’s heroes of faith, whose marvelous works have left indelible marks, propagating sweeping changes in our society. Such, are the hidden treasures, though in earthen vessels. Their character, faith, as well as wisdom and courage, have left the race of humanity baffled at how awesome God remains to be in all spheres of life.
They include Reverend Teresa Wairimu Kinyanjui, the director and founder of Faith Evangelistic Ministries, and a great symbol of faith in our time.
It was early morning on 21st July 1985 at 3:00 a.m. when God gave Reverend Teresia Wairimu a life changing experience. Her room was filled with smoke and a loud voice called her name “Wairimu”. The glory of God filled the room and although she was fearful, she perceived that it was the Lord speaking. She sat up and the Lord spoke to her about her calling, her service to God, and what He was going to do in the church through her ministry. One week later, at a Sunday service, God manifested His power through Reverend Wairimu through the gift of prophecy and word of knowledge. At the time in our country, we did not have great manifestations of miracles thus there were no mentors to look up to. However when Reverend Bonnke hosted a crusade in June 1988 in Kenya, and Reverend Wairimu witnessed the manifestation of God through Reverend Bonnke, it hit her hard as she identified with that. After her call, she had ministered in High Schools, Universities, small social gatherings, Bible studies etc, but her dream came to pass on 17th May 1992 in Oslo-Norway when she met Reverend Bonnke and he laid hands on her. Coming back to Kenya she knew she had received something from God that money could not buy – she had been birthed into ministry on that day and there was an evident explosion in her ministry! Within no time the house fellowship swelled up and was moved to City hall then Kenyatta International Conference Centre (One of the largest auditoriums in the city) and it only took one meeting to move the fellowship to the open Uhuru Park, where Reverend Teresia has faithfully preached without failure, every second Sunday of the month for a consecutive 14 years.
God’s favor has, since, clouded her life, with the fulfillment of His very word watched through .She is not only a nationally recognized speaker but also an international speaker reaching the nations such as:
