Kingdom Purposed Daughter is a coterie of pilgrims obsessively devoted to declaring the praises of Him who calls us out of the darkness into His wonderful light, in zealous pursuit of #livingwholeheart for His cause.

I’m Nimi, and I’m the voice behind KPD, and I live in the beautiful city of gold, Sandton South Africa.

I have an incessant obsession with Christ, his scandalous account and demonstration of incomparable love recorded in The Holy Bible.

My blog reflects my philosophy on life and the transformative power of faith, hope and love as I’ve witnessed in the world, my life and the lives I meet along my pilgrimage.

That’s faith, in the Sovereignty, absolute good and perfect will of God the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ,

Hope, in the exceedingly good news of the victory of our Lord Jesus Christ that secures whosoever believes, a present eternity in the kingdom of heaven. This hope is the sure antidote to our existential crisis and present suffering that produces a bubbling joy and transcendent peace, and

Love, divine.

Here, I’ll tackle as many hard soul deep topics through authentic conversation and as candidly as I am at any point of a season so you’ll know you’re not alone in the seeking, lamentations or jubilations that are common in our travel through this realm.

Prone to melancholy, my meditations are raw groanings from everyday affairs and (mostly) pretty encouraging. I don’t use airy-fairy, but I do try to  steer towards the light

But sometimes I feel the need to unleash the wretch within and release an expletive or two, a dark side habit I am being rehabilitated. 😉

A bit about me …

Born in Rwanda, and raised in Nairobi Kenya, and Johannesburg South Africa, I’ve traveled from the equator to the southernmost point, though not under circumstances of choice or pleasure.

Nimi is a beautiful and winning nickname from a dear friend and fellow KPD (Kingdom Purposed Daughter) derived from my maiden name: Nimigisha.

Nimigisha is a Kinyarwanda phrase translating: [God’s]Blessings

My given names, Elisheba and Naomi, have equally powerful meanings, which I only recognized when work in Kingdom Purposed Daughter began sometime in my twenties.

Elisheba was the wife of God’s appointed Old Testament High Priest, Aaron. In Hebrew, Elisheba means “God is her oath”.

Naomi is also an old testament Hebrew name from the Book of Ruth which means “my delight”.

Stainbank is the name of the great house to which I am honoured with title of wife, and suitable help-meet since 2015.

I am the sixth of nine children born to two great persons who have graced the realm of the living, fondly known to me as Papa and Mama.

By grace, I was spared in the nineteen ninety-four Rwanda genocide to tell these tales and declare these praises on here blog.

Over the last few years of my pilgrimage, I have conquered the agonies of healing from sin’s deadly poisons, sexual abuse, several heartbreaks, wrenching tragedy, and the unforgiving, merciless chaos of the secular world. My healing was accelerated by a prophetic word spoken over me by my Sicilian Godmother and it is the whole heart of the work for which I was sent into this realm.

Since turning the leaf into my third decenial nostalgia and nausea of my past, present, and future drew me both inward and retrospective.

The sum of it all has been both terrible and wonder-filled, and captured aptly in this glorious lyric, and melody (you ask me how they knew to release this song at just the right time. I say #LookAtGod!)

It feels like much of the story in the last chapters has been written by hands not my own, and all the messy cacography by my own hands. But there is a story underlying all the chapters that tells of Hi(s)tory in my life and it is this:

*Spoiler Alert*

The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it

This is definitely my kind of story: where good conquers evil, light overcomes darkness, mercy triumphs judgement, and the cross of Christ obliterates sin and death!

Hallelujah.

Everything I write, speak on and create draws on influences from the tragedies, trials, and triumphs I have lived, my insatiable hunger for righteousness, peace and joy, and whispers of the Holy Spirit.

In my previous life, I worked in administration and finance. Though I thoroughly enjoyed my “first” career, I wanted to pursue a future where my passion really lies – contemplating and speaking about Love, who brings us out of the darkness into His wonderful light.

Today, I’m extremely fortunate to be able to say that I am finally doing what I truly love – creating opportunities for deep meaningful connection, sharing my witness of the love of God poured out for the world and all mankind with people from all over the world, and helping ease suffering in my city through little ideas that come to me from time to time.

Growing up, I ached for love and profound intimacy. I yearned for belonging and purpose. I cried out for meaning and hope amidst great suffering and our existential crisis. When everywhere I’d searched and all my efforts resulted in futility, Christ Jesus took hold of me and called me heaven ward. He is the One who my soul loves and with him my life continues to transform before my eyes as I embark on the greatest adventures of pilgrimage yet with I AM.

This is why I obsessively proclaim the love, truth, and power of Our Father in heaven, and devote my life to pursuing and encouraging others to forsake all others and all else for Him, and His cause.

I want to show you how Love, divine; hope eternal; and good faith are our only sure things from whence we derive our true identity– that is, royalty; and obtain purpose for our pilgrimage through this place called earth. Discover who you are, and why you are, and become her: a Kingdom Purposed Daughter, #livingwholeheart, for His cause.

I hope you find something on here to bless your heart and life!

With Love,

Nimi
