“WHERE THERE IS NO VISION, THE PEOPLE PERISH: BUT HE THAT KEEPS THE LAW, HAPPY IS HE.” Proverbs 29:18
THE VISION – IN BRIEF (2005)
The Bible says;
“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Isaiah 52:7.
THE CALL
I was in deep prayers and fasting for some days in Karura Forest, Nairobi, Kenya, not intending to leave until the Lord spoke. I had this so powerfully in my spirit;
“I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what He will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.” Habakkuk 2:1.
The Holy Spirit had also impressed this Word of God in my heart so hard that I felt as if I were floating in the air;
“But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him.
But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea the deep things of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
The exceeding power and presence of the Lord God was mighty and strongly upon me, praying and agonizing in the presence of God. I was sensitive to the Spirit of the Lord. Very early in the morning, the Holy Spirit said to me, “Leave the forest and go home; I want to talk with you.” I heard clearly that still, small voice on the inside of me. It was a divine appointment with destiny.
Unfortunately on arriving home, I found that our house had been locked up due to rent arrears. I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to go and rest in he house of a man of God, a friend of mine (Pastor Shadrack Kioko of Gospel Outreach Ministry).
This was the place of my encounter with Jehovah, God. Right at the beginning of a chilly night, my encounter with God started. It was a strange and mysterious night. I couldn’t sleep, having the reality that I had an appointment with God. Something gracious and awesome was moving right inside and outside of me. I felt a powerful flow right through my bones (Jeremiah 20:9), as I lay on the bed (a tea table). I didn’t see anything in figure, but I could clearly see the visible glory of God in the house. All that I knew was that God had come down to speak with me as He had promised. His hand was so strong that I began rolling, and I realized that I was unable to breathe normally. As I was approaching God in His wonderful Spirit and presence, basking in His glory, something tangible and weighty was dropped into my spirit. There and then my strength left me and I was like one dead (Ezekiel 3:22-23). Then I heard God speaking so clearly with an audible voice, as clearly as I could hear the voice of a man. I was dead, I thought. Every cell and fibre of my being was under God’s manifested presence. Then I heard God say to me, “But in the beginning it was not so…” I was seeing great multitudes of people shouting as a preacher preached. Then I heard again God say to me, “…But in the beginning it was not so…” I was sobbing in tears when I heard cries of God’s people. Again I heard, “But in the beginning it was not so…There were four types of the Gospel, and I am sending you to preach and teach My word – the Gospel.” Since that time, I knew and I am fully persuaded of God’s call upon my life. I am chosen by God to serve my generation. From the time of this encounter with Jehovah God, I couldn’t confuse Him or compare Him with anything else. I remained there all through the night to hear Him again. I wanted to know exactly which were the four types of the Gospel. This was on 20th June 1999. During the previous month of the same year, God had commanded me to fast for 40 days. God spoke to me almost with the same intensity of power. He said to me, “I am sending you for a worldwide mission.”
God had sent me on 18th May 1999, saying, “I am sending you for a worldwide mission”, but I didn’t know what to take to the whole world. The mandate came on 20th June 1999, “But in the beginning it was not so…there were four types of the Gospel, and I am sending you to preach and teach My Word – the Gospel.”
THE MANDATE
To preach and teach the Word to the whole world – the Gospel – FOUR TYPES OF THE GOSPEL.
THE TASK IS: to preach and to teach the Four types of the Gospel around the World.
TARGET IS: The whole world, and to impart revelations of God and power in the Church of Christ.
TOOL IS: the power and knowledge of preaching and teaching the pure Word of God – the old time Gospel.
CONFIRMATION
By the grace of God and by the power of the Holy Spirit, I started a thorough research in the Bible (Job 29:1), knowing that “No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” II Peter 1:20-21. I searched out in the scriptures to locate and prove the voice I had heard telling me that in the beginning there were four types of the Gospel, I came up with following;
THE FOUR TYPES OF THE GOSPEL
Ø THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Matthew 4:17-23
Mark 1:14-15
Acts 28:31
Ø THE GOSPEL OF THE GRACE OF GOD
Acts 20:24
Titus 2:11-15
Ø THE GOSPEL OF THE CHRIST OF GOD
Romans 1:16-17
Romans 15:19-29
Galatians 1:6-7, 16
Ø THE GOSPEL OF THE ETERNAL GOD
1 Thessalonians 2:2,7,9
Romans 1: 1-2
1 Timothy 1:11-12
Apostle Paul said;
“Prove all things, hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21.
This is the truth. There were FOUR TYPES OF THE GOSPEL. I have proved from the Word of God what I heard on the 18th of May 1999, and 20th June 1999 to be true. This is a mandate and a commission from God.
Ø I am sent for the recovery of the Gospel.
Ø I am sent for the defense of the Gospel
Ø I am sent for the release of the power of the Gospel.
Just like Apostle Paul, “I am sent for the defense and confirmation of the Gospel (Philippians 1:7, 17). God said to me on 1st of January 2001; “The spirit of My servant Paul is upon you.” Paul preached the four types of the Gospel.
GOD SENT ME TO EASTLEIGH
In order to settle down to undertake this great task from God, I began to seek Him for direction on where to put up the operation base of the ministry. While in Kirinyaga (Central Kenya) for the ministry work, God spoke yet another time to enlighten me more on the kind of the ministry He gave me. He said to me on 28th February 2002,
“Thus says the Lord, the Holy one of Israel, and his maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command you me.” I knew this was from the book of Prophet Isaiah 45:11. I was shocked to realize how good God is. I analyzed this Word from God this way;
- Ask me of things to come concerning my sons – Prophetic ministry.
- And concerning the work of my hands command you me – Apostolic ministry.
I know beyond nature the nature of my calling and ministry. It was this same time that God gave me the name of the operational base of the ministry – THE WORD TEMPLE.
The specific vision of Word Temple is to DO THE TEACHING OF THE WORD until we become the WORD CARRIERS ON EARTH. It is the training place, to equip men and women with the REVEALED WORD and the POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST. Word Temple is also known as HOME OF REVELATION AND POWER. The impartation experience has proved this. As the Word is taught through and by revelation, signs, wonders and miracles are manifesting. The Word is manifesting in Eastleigh.
UNFORGETTABLE DAY
I had stopped our monthly conference which God had commanded me to embark on in Eastleigh. I was waiting upon God to receive a Word from Him. Then on 1st of December 2003, while I was in deep agony and prayer, God said to me concerning Eastleigh, “Arise, take the land, for it is not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit.” Straightaway I knew it was from Zechariah 4:6.
At God’s command, on the 18th of January 2004, WORD TEMPLE CHURCH took off in Eastleigh, following Lunch Hour Fellowships of teaching of the Word and prayer. Today the church is thriving powerfully. God spoke to us through Exodus 34:10;
“I will make a covenant before all your people. I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which you are shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a terrible (fearful) thing that I will do with you.”
It is happening! It is time to run with the Vision.

Apostle is a great man of God.
