Koko Kalango, founder, Rainbow Foundation, has unveiled a new book, All things bright and beautiful in Lagos recently.At the book launch, Kalango was celebrated for her works in promoting reading, particularly, among young people.From an ardent promoter of literary resurgence in the country to a woman of great faith, the book chronicles her faith, relationship, purpose, social change and advancing the kingdom of God.In this interview with the Nation, she shares her relationship with God and more.My fascination with the “Rainbow”Concerning Rainbow, a pastor actually reached out to me and said All things bright… My story of faith.‘You are using Rainbow, do you know what it means?’ I said I know what it means. It is a sign of covenant that God made with us and put it in the sky. So, I am using my father’s property. Others are impostors. We need to drive them out of that space. So, anything I do is rainbow.Inspiration behind All things bright and beautifulWhen the Lord called me out of paid employment around 1992, and asked me to start doing things of my own, he gave me the name Rainbow. The origin of the name is God. God said to man – “When I see the rainbow in the sky, I will remember the covenant that I have made with humankind”. He gave me a scripture – “As long as the earth remains, seed time and harvest shall not cease”. And that is what propelled me.When I’m doing the work, not to man but to God, because I know I will stand before God during judgment day. After that I set up the Colours of Life Ministry. So, I just think God has made my life bright and beautiful and very colourful, so that is where the title came from.My legacy of Godly contentmentI have my parents to thank for bringing us up the way they did. Along the way, I’ve heard people say if it is money, they won’t get you money, it can be something else. So I thank God and my parents for that. People keep asking me about the word content. There is a God factor and God uses human beings to teach you contentment. God bless my father and mother for bringing us up not to respect material possessions or respect people because of what they own. We respect you if you fear the Lord and have integrity. It makes you able to cope in any circumstance. The first time I fasted for three days, nobody told me to fast. I didn’t have money for food, but something said why you didn’t call your father and tell him you didn’t have money to buy food. But, I said Pastor Adeboye is always encouraging us to fast. So, I fasted for three days and did not die. And I was this beautiful young lady with guys chasing her. And I said Koko why not take money from these guys to buy food. But no.ALSO READ: Pastor Enoch Boamah Weds Praise Amenkhienan
