Praise God, I’m pastor Tobius Musyimi from Machakos. I would like to share with you my salvation story.

I was born in a non-Christian family although my parents were forcing us to go to church. I and my brothers were facing a lot of challenges like sicknesses, and instead of being taken to hospital, our parents were taking us to witch doctors. life was not so good for us till the time I went to a youth camp and the pastor preached of End times and how it shall be for the saved ones and the sinners. Sinners shall mourn forever and ever and the righteous shall rejoice forever and ever.

 I was touched in my heart and moved to salvation by the holy spirit and I surrendered my life to Jesus and the Baptist in the year 1996, and followed Jesus as my savior.

The year 1998 my spiritual mentor Rev. Solomon Maingi who brought me up could coach and lead me spiritually and gave me the chance to preach and teach in the church the words of God until the time I was through with my secondary education and went urban areas for a job. I kept going to church but chances to preach and teach were limited since that time.

The seed of God cannot be lost! In the new place, I went to church I was recognized and appointed as the chairman of development for four years, God did great and we could see the good fruits through the unity we had and that passionate heart and mind. Later, I was promoted to assistant pastor of the church for 9years.

However, I could hear some voices and dream as I sleep which could confuse my mind. I could hear,’ Go home I shall show you what to do”, the voice repeated itself for more than four years and I was confused about why go home and for what reason, if it was God’s work I do at Nairobi, then why go home? I wrestled with the voice till I shared it with the pastor of Nairobi church but it got louder and louder every day. I disobeyed the voice every time I heard it.

However, through my disobedience, my business collapsed and I had handily nothing. I sold all my households to survive but still, the voice was on me daily.

I starved for not less than one year, jobless, and friendless, tears were my daily bread. one day, another pastor friend of mine took me to a job he had taken a subcontract near the roundabout of Westland at Meridian Hotel and payment was one thousand shillings daily. I was so glad to recover the losses I had. this took only one month and ten days that is forty days. I was experienced in the job of decorating the outside walls with panels.

 One day, as we were in our normal job as usual of decorating on each floor, I heard the same voice again and it was very strong, “go home I shall show you what to do, or I kill you”, I laughed at the voice and turned to my boss pastor to tell him. I said,” pastor, can you hear what the lord says to me”, the pastor asked, what does God say to you? He says I replied “Go home or I kill, “before I finished my statement, the drill machine I was using to drill the wall, the drill nail broke down, and lost balance and I was dropped upside down! I had no safety belts, by good luck, I was overturned in way that I can’t explain, and struck on a ladder support on the sixth floor. I found myself firmly holding that ladder support with my legs and both hands. I was rescued and the first words I said weas,” I will go’ then I decided to leave the job and went home to a rural area.

  “I shall show you what to do,” was the voice that led me to rural areas where I stayed for three months and I was called to serve with a Baptist Church in a nearby village. I found a church with less than ten members and we thank God for nine years of serving in the Baptist Church now there are more than 100 members, and we are still trusting in God to do more great things in the church, community, and also in my family.

what God can do no man can do, no one can change the mind of God, the seed of God cannot get lost and He has the say over everyone or every life. God bless you as you read this testimony and be built up. nothing is impossible to God just believe and trust. Amen and Shalom.
