Size 8 speaks about her year in salvation

Pulse: Why did you break down into tears after winning a Groove the other day?

Size 8: I was completely overwhelmed as I had not expected it. After I got nominated, I even called Kevin (Groove awards boss) and told him that I didn’t think I deserved being among the nominees. I have only been in this industry for a year.

P: Just what was going through your mind that moment on stage when you said whatever people said about you would still serve God?

Size 8: I knew that this was God’s doing. It has been so rough since I got saved. From persecution by people I considered close friends to the devil showing himself real to me. I have been through hell and back, something like a soap opera.

P: What exactly?

Size 8: Many people refused to take it that I really got saved. After releasing Mateke, I even received opposition from some church members who said it was nothing gospel. Then the devil started attacking me. How do you explaining waking up at night to see black hooded men around you? Strange things! I have survived three accidents and my car finally got grounded and I knew all that was an attack from hell. After that, my mother who prayed me into salvation got sick and admitted in hospital. I could not get any shows and finances went low. At some point, I gave up and told God that I wanted Him to take me home. I was done with being here on earth.

P: Do you regret getting saved?

Size 8: Never ever. Salvation is the best thing that ever happened to me. When I left the secular world, I was so sure that I have made a suicidal move and I left it all to Jesus. It was a lucrative business back then, but I knew that God would bless me, eventually, according to his word.

P: What has kept you strong amidst all the hate speeches; starting from blogs saying you dated a series of men to others saying you got saved to get DJ Mo?

Size 8: Every great man in the Bible went through such trials. My greatest weapon has been prayer. Besides my daily devotion, I have a group of five men of God who intercede for me. I thank my husband and our family for always standing with me. As well, my pastor Geroge  Mathu, pastor Charles, prophet Price, pastor Kate  and pastor Kathy Kiuna of Jubilee Christian Church.

P: What has been your biggest lesson so far, since you got saved?

Size 8: That God will never forsake you nor leave you, no matter what. Emmie Kosgei and Esther Wahome are among the people who frankly approached me and told me to soldier on despite the attacks.

P: Despite, your first debut single Mateke has been a great hit…

Size 8: The night before the Mateke photos went viral; God spoke to me and warned me that the photos would be up. It was all made to reduce my self-esteem but God worked it all for good. The song launched me perfectly in the gospel career and it is strange how things have changed within a year. I am getting triple benefits from what I used to get during my secular career. God is giving me favor; I even sang before the president the other day, something I never did back then.

P: Your new song Niko na Wewe must be a personal testimony, right?

Size 8: True! I wrote it during that lowest moment when I told God I wanted Him to take me. It is an edifying song for everyone going through something.

P: Some people are still counting down, waiting for you to backslide…

Size 8: Salvation is by the grace of God and it his through his power that we soldier on. The world is full of people who are about condemning and judging others. When you see people like DNG and DNA backsliding, please don’t condemn them. People need support not discouragement.

P: How is marriage life?

Size 8: My husband is a great man. He has been my pillar of strength. I treasure every moment.

P: Do we see you turning into a preacher sometime soon?

Size 8: I live for God and just want him to use me in whichever way he so wishes.
