”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.
The inception of her life fifty years ago was a first
step into what was to become the great move of God that
the nation, and the world, bear witness to today. Her
growth in life has remained characterized by God’s
presence, just us Jesus, in favor of both God and men.
It was, however, not until 1985,that her life would be
transformed forever. This followed an earth-shattering
visitation by God, in a heavenly call-in that saw the
room she was in shake.
It was in this divine initiation that God’s intended
purpose was revealed to her, and eventually, to the world.
God did pronounce that reverend wairimu would serve Him,
and carry out great exploits in this nation, and beyond.
Key pointers to her assignment, as it was laid out, would
be manifestations through the gifts of knowledge, healing,
and prophecy. That marked the inauguration of her Ministry,
and, to this date, still remains as a keynote birthplace
of the gifting in her that we see in operation today.
God’s favor has, since, clouded her life, with the
fulfillment of His very word watched through
