[0:03]time, and then God began to stare in my heart, and in my wife's heart simultaneously that it was time to begin this commission. We prayed for a while.
[0:42]The only needs you to believe it and move. The rest will come along the way.
[0:54]The story of burden that ultimately became Kingdom Life, um, started 2010. Um, around then I was actually looking for my purpose in life. 2010 beginning I began to pray, and around the summer of 2010, um, July, August, I began engaged in really praying about what God wanted me to do in life. Then God told me directly that he wanted me to raise people and he wanted me to raise people that would be people razors. And um that was the beginning. And I I I'm making that in simple words. That was the beginning. So it was shown throughout my life in Nigeria and the people that the ministry I led as a youth minister, so youth pastor or in a church, a youth leader, I would say. Um and um then I got to Mozambique, where I started the church for the denomination I was under. I was a young boy, then, but almost a year afterwards, or about a year afterwards. Um I started a church there for that denomination, the same principle, but I I didn't really didn't have the words to uh to categorize this. Um I moved on to Belarus where I pastored for about seven to eight years, uh a full gospel church there. But the effect was the same. I knew God wanted me to raise men. Some of those people are leading churches in other places right now as I'm talking. And God did that. Um then I came to Poland rather, where I led for a while uh in a different denomination. Then I feel I had a Mesdonian call, which I think it is your real question. And within that call, what what I felt in my heart was a burden as though there were individuals that still needed me. They were looking for me. And um I began to wonder, I know God you're sending me. Uh, but I'm emotionally invested in where I am right now. And I know I didn't want, it was quite tricky. I would say. So I began to pray. I began to pray. Within this time for my prayer, I didn't told my wife or anybody what was going on in my heart. Simultaneously, I think within that time frame, somewhere around there, God told my wife, your husband is about to start a church. He should start a church actually. You know, in some words, he would be the best person to tell you how God told her, but God told her that I was that we that it was time for me to start. And um being a great woman that she is, she knew that God had to tell me directly. So she didn't know God had spoken to me, but so she told God to tell me. Um, so after a month or so, I missed that I reach out to her and said, this is exactly what's going on in my heart. And told me God told her the same about a month or more earlier. And so we began to pray. God now put words to these people you're looking for. Who exactly do you want me to reach out to? Who are the people you're sending me to? Because if there is a message, you're sending someone you're sending them to someone. Then he told me directly then that you're going to meet them and you're going to give them their what I would call an experience.
[4:07]Then that was the journey that became Kingdom Life. The earliest challenge will be, well, challenge is what it is called, will be the fact that um there were competing voices in the sense of voices that were telling uh were speaking out loud that what you were doing was not the will of God. I was convinced that it is, what I was doing was not the will of God. I was convinced it was. But those voices were there. Some of them spiritual, some of them physical. So I had to go through that as well. And also, not knowing the environment so much. I had to navigate through locations, which was a very great thing. I think the biggest challenge Kingdom Life had gone through was we had a shake within the church at a time frame where we almost, we shrunk. became less than 10% of what we were. And we had to start from the beginning. But God has already over time built resilience inside of me. So that, that was that one of those things. Yes. Um Pastor Priyanka is the co-founder because she received God also told her, you know. And it's not because she's just my wife, but because God also told her. Um and I saw what she did. I'll give you an example. My wife was eight months pregnant when she was taking cheers, carrying cheers in arranging the first location where we were. You know, I don't know how many women does that. And a person that did not come from a Christian background. Um Pastor Tommy also joined us and was, in fact, he relocated to Poland because he felt that the Lord was sending him to be a helper here. So Pastor Tommy is the also key person I would mention. The other brothers and sisters God used in in that in this season, especially in this season, when we started, God really used people greatly, some time even to make kingdom life known uh to publicize it. Many of them, I think, including yourself, got to know Kingdom Life from someone. I met you in church. And so, um, there are people like that God used. Um but I would really I cannot underestimate what the Lord has done with Pastor Tommy and Pastor Priyanka and Pastor Tommy. And if if I may, I would also like to add that indeed, what really gave me, um, in a season, what really gave me, um, a backbone and increased my confidence in God's call was I would mention two people, actually. I will tell you Pastor Apostle Iran from Nigeria reached out. And every had a season when he prayed for me. And God really connected me to my pastor today, that's Pastor Kristoff Zaremba. Um he's believed in me. He had a coffee with me. He looked into my eyes in that coffee and I knew he knew that this guy's going somewhere.
[6:49]And he believed in me. And to be honest, I was having belief drain at that time. People didn't really do believe in me, they didn't believe in me. And so that was exactly what this is part of the things we if you come from the emotional part that truly for it. biggest miraculous moment there some of them I don't think I'll feel comfortable talking about on camera. Um but a lot of the people within the workforce know about. Um and the reason why I would not talk about it on the camera is because I do not want, um, I don't want to give the wrong impression about it or the wrong interpretation to people. Make people have wrong interpretation about it, rather. Uh but the biggest transformation, the biggest, uh, in term testimony for me, would be the drastic transformation I've seen people's life become. It's it's my biggest. Um I tried to be mature in public, but to be honest, it gets me to cry in private. You know, indeed, the transformation of people's life is my real, real, it's what makes me know that I'm on the right track. You know, you just have to pick one person from Kingdom Life that has been here for a while and ask them, tell them, tell me your Kingdom Life experience. And when they really get down to it, and you see the before and after, you would know, this is this is what gets me really going. This is what confirms to me that I'm on the right track. Beyond every other favor the Lord has given to us as a church. That's the biggest for me. And of course, when I've met people that say they has meeting together in their houses or somewhere streaming and who by the grace of God, I do believe there may be potential Kingdom Life franchises. That's how that's similar to how Kingdom Life crack of started. These things are the things that make me know that we are on the right track. The first one will be starting. Starting Kingdom Life was the first one. I'll give you when I was about to start, one of my sons called me from Nigeria, a prophet from Nigeria, who has started church today and told me that the Lord told him and I hadn't spoke to him in two years. That I should start now, what he told me to start, and that if I missed it, that it was going to be very difficult. So starting was, um, it's one of the defining things. Um, the another defining thing is who I married. Um, who you married tell determines a lot of how far you will go. So that's a defining thing for the future, what happened in Kingdom Live right now. Um, and one other thing, two other things, I would say, the next thing would be, um, systems. I set in systems from, um, I do believe it's from the from this within towards the end of, um, 2023, if I'm not wrong, or 2022, one of them. We set out systems that filtered other filtered integrated filters and raised standards. That is the most defining decision for today's Kingdom Life. Um the next most defining decision for today's Kingdom Life is joining the STH Union. I do believe that that was the will of God, and the story behind it is amazing. Maybe for some other time I'll tell you. The first year of Kingdom Life, I thought to myself, build people not not things. If you build people, they'll build the vision. And that has been my goal. So when I look back in this four years, it's been an intensive building campaign. And the next few years, I don't even mind the next five to 10 years to still be part of the building. I'm moving to the direction of the Lord. But if you're talking about the future of Kingdom Life, when I look at those who God is building, I want to tell you something. And the thing is this, we're going to shape, reshape the face of Europe and the globe. What do I mean by that? We're going to teach people kingdom culture. Indeed, we are going to invade sectors. We're going to raise people who are kingdom-minded and community relevant. What does that mean? They are people whose heart are are loyal to God, but there are people that are going to invade every society. They're going to be line managers in the companies. They're going to be business owners. They're going to be key opinion leaders. I'm talking about people even in politics. Not just in Poland, but around the world. That you would barely look at any sector, a leading sector in the world, that you wouldn't find the Kingdom Life there. God told me I'm going to raise men that are not just mean men. They are going to be men, men of God, people, kings. And exactly, so if you're watching right now, wherever you are, where whatever it is your background. I want you to understand that you're part of a vision. A vision that is going to shape the way the world looks like. It may look small, but don't worry, even the least among us will be a thousand. And the small among us will be a mighty nation. Stick around, and you will see Kingdom Life is just what you need where you need to be. Yes.
