Pastor Elijah Mutua Kirima is the founding leader of the fellowship/ministry/church: THE WORD OF GOD IS THE WILL OF GOD. Elijah Kirima got born again at the age of 10 in a Full Gospel Churches of Kenya Church - Nkunga, Maitei, Buuri, Meru. He joined the Sunday school and is glad for the loving heart and teachings from the Sunday school teachers and those that ministered to the whole church.
Elijah Kirima did his primary school through the support of the school Head Teacher, Bord, teachers and parents. Elijah would teach God's word at the primary school morning assemblies.
Elijah joined High School through fundraising drive that he conducted from time to time, mostly with the support of his friend Mr Joseph Kimathi and his (Elijah's) mother - now late, who despite being disabled made all efforts, rearing and selling goats, and borrowing from friends and the area MP. Elijah was also a beneficiary of government bursary funds. The problem was that a student would be allocated a very small amount. He remembers the day all the students and teachers made a contribution at the assembly. Elijah became a youth leader at the church and a Christian Union Class Rep upon joining High School (Kanyakine High School). He was later elected the High School Christian Union Chairperson. Elijah received a call to serve while he was sitting for his High School Final exams (KCSE - 2000)
Immediately after High School he was introduced to a village private library by Pastor Joseph Koome who was the owner and had it in his house. He read so many Christian books. He got to read books by CES (Christian Education Service), now STF (Spirit and Truth Fellowship) and TLTF (The Living Truth Fellowship). He took many years of mind struggle, to fully accept the truths in those books as the accurate explanations taught in the Word of God.
In 2004 Elijah, having come to Nairobi and stayed for nearly three years, joined a Trinitarian Bible School for one year (Twice or thrice he asked question on subjects like whether Jesus was God, state of the dead and on the prevalent suffering people go through. The books he had read seemed to offer better explanations) This year of study was made possible through fundraising, mainly from the church he was attending.
In 2005, Elijah was appointed a deacon at FGCK Mathare Area 1. In 2007 there was a breakup and shakeup and as some joined the faction and others remained, Elijah was shortly appointed an elder and later an assistant pastor to the Luckysummer branch. He was appointed to serve on contract for two years. Later those years were renewed for a further two years. The Local church senior pastor had made it clear that there would be no more renewal. On 19th April 2011, Elijah presented a request to the government for registration of the fellowship: THE WORD OF GOD IS THE WILL OF GOD. Towards the end of August at exactly the time the contract was ending, he received the registration. The first service was held on 11th September, 2011. There has been a major shift from Trinitarianism to Biblical Unitarian. Elijah has since connected with brethren from STF, TLTF and several other like minded fellowships both within and around the world.
Glory to God, we can now do all that a church is allowed to do in Kenya and around the world where we get necessary permission. Kindly join the movement. To contact go to > home > contact.
