Lets Talk | Pst Nikko's Story

Pst. Nikko shares his story of restoration as a leader in the Church.

[@abigailwacukakamau1020]

This is the honesty , rawness, and openness the church should normalise

[@leillahwawudawordsofwisdom9443]

Pst Nikko was my Boss at Services n Production. I will never forget how I was so done with ministry 6 months in and I told him I want to QUIT because the leadership program was pressing the oils of excellence in me. He said "Think about it" many times and when I broke down in tears he covered my face in his Fatherly hug. I cried and his T shirt was watery until all my pain was done as the team was looking at the white production container ( I was embarrassed at myself). We had a volunteers white Christmas dinner decor event in the next 15mins. I went washed my face and walked back into HyperDome like a Winner wounded but not to Quit. To this day I Never Quit, I serve God n am More Resilient. Thank God for restoration in this relationship.

Powerful

[@mosesngunjiri7202]

I also see this as a perfect case of leaving the 99 to look for the one. I think at that moment we easily expect the 99 other sheep to be looking for us but it's just Christ our good shephard who can. At that moment of being lost, you faced the danger of loosing your life, its not strange that those around you were unbelievers, just like the lost sheep in the wild in the midst of both harmful wild animals and those that are not. Your going abroad and restoration is like a well scripted movie .. I see God's hand. Great testimony.

[@nicholasmbithi7678]

"For a saint is just a sinner who falls and gets up" Well in Pst Nicko and Rev Nick soo inspiring!!

[@ninanjorogeofficial7008]

Thankyou for saying it as it is. This conversations must happen because the Church must heal.

[@Honeyletstalk]

This is such a deep interview, thanks Rev Nick nd Pst Niko for thi amazing conversation.

[@ek.kalunde6753]

Nico my friend since high school we used to sing together in school and we went far am so happy you shared these part of your life may God bless you. i remember i called you almost same time for my rescue i never new you were going through difficult time.

[@mosesngunjiri7202]

Am one of those who didn't know what happened and could only ask myself and among our circle where Nikko was .. listening to your story, I now realize that question to got to God's ears as a prayer.

[@denniskimemia7248]

This is profound! Thanks Nikko for spotlighting darkspots in our Kenyan churches systems! I wonder why believers, people in the household of Faith, are usually the first ones to distance themselves when one falls from grace! As Nikko puts it he found love in the world out there, from people he would least expect. May God help us

[@MrDMuchai]

Every testimony is from a test... Thank you for sharing your story Nikko... Plus great honesty and humility from Rev Nick... Crowed by a great Sermon from Rev Ondachi. This is Church...

[@damastrohbach1990]

This is the most legit interview I have heard from the church circles in our days. He is a God who restores and makes all things new. Thank you Nikko for allowing God to use you in such a vulnerable way. So many are out there struggling and I think you and Tabby have got your minitry well cut out for you.

[@Bukachimy]

"Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently." ~ The bible (Gal. 6:1)

[@lilliankaranja3789]

My goodness 😢. “I have never heard of a sick person take himself to hospital to be told that since you brought this sickness in yourself, we can’t treat you” Wueh!!!! And then Pastor Korir’s apology. No excuses, defensiveness. Now this. Is. The Church!!! The body of Jesus Christ. There’s beauty and glory in the church even if she’s not YET perfect

[@rahabwairimu8395]

I have cried watching this. Nikko did a lot for me, coaching me on how to become a confident singer, he spent so much time encouraging and not giving up on us. He really transformed us in a big way. I’ve just felt I failed you as my leader as well. I mean we see these leaders strong and we take a lot from them but we should also commit to praying for them without ceasing, pray for their families, pray that God protects them from temptations, from all the things the enemy may bring their way. I appreciate you Nikko and I didn’t know all these. But I am so glad to see that God has shown His face upon you and your beloved family. God loves you! You are such a talented music leader, I remember everyone of my friends that I brought to Nairobi Chapel said they felt a piece of heaven in the 45 minutes they spent praising and worshipping. Something they didn’t feel in their own churches. I love Nairobi Chapel and I appreciate the church for not shying away from taking a look at these faults and taking the courage to touch on such contentious issues. And as Nikko has said, the good outweighs the bad and that’s what has always brought me back to my home, Nairobi Chapel. So thank you! And all glory goes to God.

[@martamajambe8859]

God bless you Pastor Nicko may God continue refreshing you.This has made me cry.

[@rosemiako4841]

Pastor Nikko you are a great worshipper. This reminds of a testimony by W P Young. It is well. When you take responsibility and confess, God forgives. Let's be christ like n not pharisees. Ps Nick that humility is on another level

[@susanmuturi104]

Thankyou for being vulnerable with us and being real and deep 🙏🙏

[@nelsonaseri3864]

Thank you Nairobi chapel for sharing this wonderful moments. Pst. Nikko's story reminds me that God does not burry his wounded soldiers he heals them and sets them back for battle again. God teach us how to love one another even as we love and serve you.

[@iNduati]

I have an almost similar story of God's Grace, forgiveness and restoration.

[@kimitiphilip5624]

Very touching story Nick. Only possible from a heart that is striving to keep it true with the Lord. I celebrate the work of grace in your life but mores' your boldness to come out and share this. I hope and pray church leaders and especially those in authorities can glean a lesson or 2 from this. Much blessings for this.

[@AnchoredSteady]

Great seeing you Pst. Nikko I hope to get to see you next weekend leading worship. The church is not a courtroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, restoration, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed.

[@graceshee9924]

I found my husband balancing tears while watching this video. That's why am here.

[@cathrineruhiu7196]

I thank GOD for this interview..... And thank you Rev. Korir for acknowledging that the church hurt's...... Pst. Niko! Your victorious!!! I bless the Lord for your testimony......

[@esthernjoroge7728]

We christians are so hypocritical sadly

[@kambuaokora1111]

Thank you Rev Nick for this interview and for apologizing for the church. Pst. Nikko, we thank God for what He is doing in your life. May He restore and heal your marriage completely and grow you in your new assignment. God honors your brokenness and will use your life.

[@evegithaka8195]

Amen

[@emmanuelnandokha8150]

Thank you Pastor Nicko and Nairobi Chapel for this.A tough confession on our failings individually and collectively and lessons in how we can truly be a church.

[@mercywanjira7124]

No amount of words can describe the emotions am going through after listening to this. God had better plans Nikko...and you will be fully restored. To the church,let's be our brother's keeper. Let's not be quick to throw stones as we are all saved by grace.

[@jackietabasamu2020]

Oh my brother,I am at a loss for words.I am so sorry you had to go through this....... This is so weighty....Lord help me not to judge Your servants.This is a big lesson for me😓

[@valleriechieng1812]

I wonder what the wife's version of the story is.. Did anyone stand with her? Did she receive any support? Sometimes we focus so much on the fallen what about the one who has been hurt? What about her story? Does it matter? Anyway, don't leave your loyal friends, saved or unsaved.

[@Wachags]

In Christ we cannot be evil, sometimes we are just weak. But we fall down and we get up.

[@KaranjaAngela]

Such an honest conversation. It's made me really reflect on my own life. I have loved the parting shot, The Good outweighs the bad. I remember many-a-times when I would come for a service or the Friday Worship Nights and the way he would lead Worshuo. Weuuuuh. It was for tears. You just wanted to sit at the feet of Jesus. So thank you for your Yes. God will restore, heal and deliver. It is not all lost with him. The Good outweighs the Bad😊

[@susannjakwe7494]

Pastor Nicko,this is a testimony of the fact that we serve a God of restoration.He has restored your family and set you back on the path of your calling.Indeed if we repent,God hears and answers our prayers.He came through for you and has redeemed you.Glad you are in the UK 🇬🇧 soar high like an Eagle and may the Lord guide you always.

[@AliMukhwana]

Wooow what a testimony Glory to almighty God pst Nikko

[@bellaolum9515]

Nikko has changed wow, I remember when he used to xome to CITAM Calley Road to minister in song. I didn't know this had happened in his life wow, sad but God is a restorer.

[@meriothm2856]

Has non believers challenged us ? Yes, I can relate. Good interview that has good lessons learned.

[@israelprincemusic]

This was heavy. Church people let us love more. John 13:35

[@lenssendado6929]

Pst Nickko and Oscar are great but Nairobi chapel almost killed me.

[@JohnMmbaga_]

Listened to this before. Had to come back and relisten. Thanks to the two pastors Nick and Nikko. Special thanks to Pastor Nikko for being vulnerable. Asante bro.

[@elizabethwanjiku7831]

All in all lets be careful about the spirit of the strange woman.. Marriage is under attack. Warfare prayers are a Must . We love you Pastor Nikko❤❤❤❤

[@obedkm]

Oh Lord. Forgive us as a church. Forgive us as leaders for never appreciating our own fallibility and remembering to unconditionally love. 🙏😢

[@carolineomondi5361]

Amen

[@cassandraaisling5541]

I am sorry that you had to go through so much rejection from the people who should show forth the fruits of love. God is a restorer

[@elizabethwanjiku7831]

Pharissees and Sadducees. So you see pastor Nikko and change course asif youve seen a lion

[@mercymwiti3692]

Pst Nikko😭😭 Great to see you again! What a testimony! In all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose; in repentance and rest is your salvation and in quietness and trust is your strength. May our good Lord bless and fully restore your marriage; and, extend the boundaries of your ministry through service for Him. It’s because of you that I always miss 200 voices. Much love from 🇺🇸

[@PastorRodahKioko-R.K.4906]

Niko is a great Man of God. This is my first time to hear and get to know what happed and how the church abondoned him! When a Christian falls the Bible tells us to restore the with love. "what if Niko committed suicide.. Would the church forgive itself? Just thinking deeply. When my husband died, God used Niko and the VOWS to bring comfort to me.. Something have never shared with Niko to date. Through VOW we could meet sing and hold concerts where my healing started Nikko you are Great Man of God and I thank God for restoring you. I FEEL IN MY SPIRIT THERE IS A GREAT MINISTRY BEING BORN IN YOU. GOD WILL USE YOU TO RESTORE SO MANY HURTING CHRISTIANS, WHO ARE DYING IN THEIR PAIN. AMEN.

[@elizabethwanjiku7831]

The compassion of God never ceases

[@mercy_daughteroftheking6071]

We thank God for restoration

[@Loltome]

God has always raises back a broken and contrite heart; thank you Nikko for ministering through your story.

[@rachealmuthoni3363]

Wow God of another chance

[@odangapriscah9652]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️The beauty of restoration. I pray for all leaders who are leading as they bleed ; God will restore you.

[@jameskinuthia4311]

God works in mysterious ways, GOD wanted you to grow to greater heights and remove you from what was leading you into sin, if the church had not abandoned you probably you wouldn't be where you are now. Everything works for good.

[@producerkevin8975]

More grace to You and Your family Nicko, may the good Lord bind you with a bond that will never be broken. God is on your side, bless you my brother.

[@marknamaswa5598]

so touching

[@unclesamthepreacher]

Wow.. this is real talk. much love and blessings Pst Nic

[@christinek.5923]

This is so candid and touching. We truly need to pray for our praise and worship and all Church leaders and their families because the enemy isn't happy about the work they are doing and will always look out for an opportunity to pull them down but with Christ we are more than conquerors. Hallelujah for the restoration of pastor Nikk may Jehovah Rapha heal his marriage completely in the name of Jesus

[@carolinemwazi5583]

I am proud of you Nikko. God is a God of restoration. He will never turn away a repentant sinner no matter how 'big' the sin. I pray you and Tabitha fully experience God's forgiveness, love and grace and that your marriage is fully healed and restored. He makes all things beautiful in His time.

[@tabithakibugi3170]

Lord forgive us for protecting our names, church names and all instead of your people! Thank you Pastor Nikko for sharing.

[@karanjajosephinewangari5462]

It was the other Pastor's apology to me, that balmed my heart.

[@judymburu8898]

Church is me and you.....how do we treat those who have fallen from grace.....thanks for sharing Ps Nicodemus.

[@muriithiben4773]

This is a deep candid conversation! My heart is overwhelmed! Thank you Nikko ! You are a true servant !!

[@FlorenceWandabwaAmbayo]

an eye opener."I felt abandoned" thats what we have done in the church.We are an army that leaves our wounded soldiers to die. May the Lord help us, thanks for sharing Nikko.

[@annenjenga4740]

Pastor Nikko, just to let you know that I prayed for you even without knowing exactly what you were going through. I prayed for you every week in 2019, regrettably much less recently, but I am so grateful to God that you are restored to your family. May the Lord continue to work His healing in you and may you find it in your heart to forgive all the brethren who failed you in your hour of need.

[@EddWachori]

I believe this is what Jesus Would Do. WWJD?

[@immaculateachieng20]

Pastor Nikko just know that we miss your lead in praise and worship

[@bwaithaka]

Wow! What a testimony of reconciliation. And restoration.

[@jeconeskj]

Waaah! This was the honest discussion ever in the let's talk discussion..We missed you Pst. Nikko and that was very encouraging.. It's a testimony too emotional 😭😭. Let restoration be unto your marriage again

[@shironjuguna5853]

I don't know this Pastor and just listening to him I am so grateful for his authentic sharing. He has called out those who failed him but did so with so much love! Having gone through such similar situation...I feel him. But isn't God good? He is a God of restoration!!

[@Martha_Kilonzo]

Wow Amazing God. Our God is a restore and able to forgive and amend the broken heart. Godbless you and do you good .. What a great testimony

[@angelachepngeno3672]

Wow! Thank you for your openness @Nikko.May God use your brokenness for his glory!

[@muthoniwachira8721]

Wow! This is deep! More grace to you Pst. Nikko and your family, the Lord heal and restore you completely.. Thank you Nairobi Chapel, indeed this is church!!

[@Jed_Wang]

'I felt like the name of the church was more important than this soul' Very sad 😢 May God heal and restore you Niko.

[@shiyenzefashion]

Rev Nick you are Indeed a father. Thanks for providing healing! This is deep. Healing,Restoration...

[@silvanoobunyasi]

Thanks Pastor Nico for the testimony You've ministered to my heart

[@dorahmulinge3800]

Wow,, the vulnerability. I'm happy to see the church coming out and seeing these conversations. God is helping us in in His mercy and grace

[@frallystoneomusula9510]

Thank you Pastor Nicko for being very honest, and for your courage to say it the way it is. The Lord Jesus bless you for being bold and for allowing you to share for your story with us.

[@marjoriewambua5755]

Wow !! Thank you Nairobi Chapel for sharing this story of restoration. There's always still a purpose even in the pain.

[@sapaniwanga9333]

It takes courage to be that honest. God bless you and your marriage

[@houseofdestinychurch-canada]

I'm so blessed to see this. I'm just a friend of Nikko on Facebook, never knew how deep his involvement was with Nairobi Chapel movement, but one thing I must testify is that it's good to see resilience in leaders, we may fall but we repent, return and refocus on relationship with Christ Jesus, with His people and His Kingdom purpose! All the best in your ministry, Nikko, and Chapel Movement! ( Philip Omondi )

[@josephmwangi1027]

Waooooow this is so powerful Niko I have been blessed bro

[@Teacher-Cathy_BringThemToJesus]

This is good Nairobi Chapel. I am not your member but I know your leaders who are where pastor Nikko was...wallowing in misery😭 I hope you reach out to them.

[@patw.461]

Hi, please reach out to Rev. Nick and share what you know. You may be the vessel God will use to restore them and get thdm help. Please

[@JohnJuma]

The devil hates worship leaders and always works on a way to sway them off track. Pst Nikko is so lucky, that devil would have made him worship him in the secular world & finally destroy him. Inspiring interview indeed!

[@ludyoluoko9702]

Great conversation. The good outweighs the bad in deed.

[@patienatu1972]

He is surely the restorer ...All glory to u Lord

[@davidoslin7760]

As my church in Florida has had a lengthy relationship with Nairobi Chapel I found this interview to be extremely uplifting and a wonderful expression of how to restore a broken relationship. God bless you all, and thank you Pastor Nikko for your candid vulnerability. Perhaps one day you will be able to visit us at Summit Church in Orlando / Lake Mary.

[@joabangabi3232]

This is very encouraging and surprising enough it's the same time I had given in my resignation. Leaders are humans too. I can relate even though for me I didn't have anyone to come for my rescue BUT GOD came through. We get to be judged harshly and for me I understood why I was a christian. Praise to God even though my ex is now married with a baby and living her life even to changing religion

[@iandvoice4675]

More grace, Pst Nikko I bless God for your impact in praise & worship music in Kenya. Powerful testimony thank you for sharing, may Gid cover you and your family

[@rachelannmuragu9549]

Such truth and vulrubility. Only way we can be true worshipers. Loved this. Tunakupenda bro.

[@isaacmugunda8370]

Hapo kwa Arsenal, hata mimi naeza itwa Niko

[@jameskamau6165]

bro! that took guts! real guts and thanks for that... the Worship Team Leader going on Mission when you arrived in the UK was simply God's Ordinance! He's very Faithful & NOTHING happens by chance! now God has given you back your family... forgive The Church & forge ahead to the great things God has in store for you & your family btw, side chat - jua the age of your 2nd born buana!😁😁😁😁

[@raisanjeri3661]

"Handle leaders with grace ", we all fall at some point, may God restore us daily even as a church learns to restore it's congregation gently.

[@mouricepanyakoministries]

God restores.This are the stories we learn from. Pastor Nikko is a GOD'S GENERAL.

[@AbubakarSeif]

I am humbled by his story. God is a restorer. Let's treat our fallen soldiers with love and help them go through the restoration process gradually....

[@susankagwe8996]

I am crying as I watch this video..Nikko was one of the reasons I am alive today ..His ministry kept me alive during one of darkest times I am personally so ashamed that I didn't do more at his darkest time ...I repent before God and to Nikko publicly..I love and respect you Nikko as the worship Pastor and leader that loved and taught me so much during my time as serving as choir leader under your leadership...waaaa😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@prettybutterfly1937]

I cried. More Grace Nikko!

[@hadassahjune94]

Amazing testimony of restoration. Thank you Pst Nikko you are brave man of God, wishing you are the best in the UK. I pray God open even greater doors for you and your family.

[@veronicaogola1179]

Nikko this is very good. We serve a forgiving God. May God keep restoring you and the family. No human being is perfect. JESUS LOVES YOU.

[@mosesnjo]

This is the rare fragrance of authenticity... God bless Chapel with grace in growing pains and wisdom in mitigating leadership pitfalls 🙏🏿...

[@paulinendirangu6174]

Ooo my God your story is sooo touching. Alot to be learnt. Bottom line your restoration is key. How God uses ppl giving you what you can handle. You had to be that person who had to be the eye opener to the church.

[@mihesogipson7545]

I love Pst Nikko the way he leads worship,he made me love worship more when I began my hustling life. This story is an encouragement and an eye opener to many and let God get His glory.....thank you for this Pst Nick!

[@sharonomondi3133]

"Let Nikko die, but the name of the church be upheld." Such a sad statement. So sorry Nikko, may the Lord heal and restore you completely. The name of the Lord be praised for his work in your life. As a church, may the Lord help us to do better.

[@joashopiyo8893]

Rev Nick and Pst Niko; these are the conversations we need to have. Rev Nick, that apology on behalf of the church touched me, thanks man of God. Pst Niko stay blessed

[@davidogweno5427]

Nobody goes to hospital and expects to be told because you brought yourself this disease, you cannot get treatment! How profound.

[@carolineawinja8044]

Thanks Pastor Nicco/Nick . I can imagine your friends who left did not know what to do. Or how to do some felt betrayed. But God is a redeemer! Thanks for sharing and may he restore them too.
