Despite threats on social media to crucify him and the Pasha, Eliud Wekesa, aka Jesus wa Tongaren, he is not a worried man.
We saw him sitting in the shade of a mango tree in the middle of a compound that includes several buildings between Jerusalem Mpya Kanisa la Jesus Church in Lukhohwe Village, Tongaren, Bungoma District. Interestingly, unlike other churches, this church celebrates Easter in mid-July.
He cut an attractive figure, looking in a full green suit, sandals made from old car tires and a long gray beard.
After the introduction, he asked us to be patient while he informed his assistant that he had arrived.
“I am a son of God and I have come back to finish the work I started when I left home more than 2,000 years ago,” said Isa wa Tongaren when he returned for an interview.
Reacting to social media comments about him, he said, “This is a dark heart from Babylon. God the Father allowed them to unite to attack me because he wants to destroy them. Jesus was crucified only once. The second time to save those who wait. I in the Bible , the second time for their sins, it has been written that I come not to die.
Although born male and female in 1981 in the village of Lukhohwe in present-day Bungoma County, Jesus wa Tongaren says he began to see who he really was at the age of nine.
“One morning outside my parents’ house, a sound drew my attention to heaven. There I saw hundreds of angels coming down to welcome me. I didn’t worry and told my parents after that,” he said.
“Just one experience doesn’t bother me.” I was looking after his father’s cow, when suddenly an angel appeared next to a nearby tree and began to spread out in different colors. I was just scared and ran away to tell my parents about the meeting. ”
Yesu wa Tongaren explained that his parents were not surprised by this, because they knew first that he was a special child. After the first appointment, he said he saw the same appointment twice a week from 0900 to 1200. He would see hundreds of angels descending to greet him in shining robes.
“I was the only one who saw them. When I told the people around me that I saw angels, they were suspicious and at one point thought I was mentally ill. But my parents understood what was happening and said that I had seen them. own things. My parents gave me Mungoi. (prophet) and Omusalisi (preacher).
According to him, this vision continued to appear to him until he became a family and his own son experienced the same vision. He was 26 years old at the time. What later convinced him of his special status was an encounter with an angel in his brother’s house, where it was revealed that some jealous neighbors had conspired to bewitch him.
“I was instructed to burn the talisman that was miraculously revealed, and when I lit the fire, I was told to put the talisman on the Bible. Amazingly, when the fire went out, the Bible remained intact, and then I knew that I had a special purpose on Earth.”
Jesus founded Tongaren Church in 2015 and has more than 200 ordained angels and prophets to date. Like Jesus Christ, he had twelve disciples who represented the 12 tribes of Israel. According to him, the command of the prophets came after the individual received a revelation from God. Ordained church members wear different clothes.
