PASTOR: Rev. Dr. ROBERT KARIUKI

Hello,

This is the day of new beginning because God’s mercies are new every morning. I hope my story will encourage you to dream big as you continue to hold on to God’s unchanging hands. As Paul said in 1Corinthians 15:9-10a  “For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am,”  God is able to make something out of nothing.

For many whom we have not met, my name is Robert Kariuki Nyaga. I am married to Agnes Kariuki and have three wonderful children, Myra, Tori and Alex.  I was born in Kenya, moved to United State in 1999 to chase the American dream. I thought it would take a few years to achieve that  dream but guess what, I am still chasing the dream.

As I quoted Paul, it is by the Grace of God that I am whom I am. I am here for such a time as this to let the world know that God is doing a new thing. It is time to position ourselves according to the move of the Holy Spirit. It is time to do what God purposed  in our life since the foundation of the world. I am a living testimony of what the Lord can do to those who wait upon Him. I have seen God do great and mighty things since I gave my life to him and believe the best is yet to come. The good news is that if we obey the Lord, we shall eat the good of the land.

As I conclude, I will quote Rick Warren on his book, The Purpose Driven Life, the purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by His purpose and for his purpose.

May the Lord bless you and Keep and make His face to shine upon you as you seek his purpose in your  life.
