Meet Kenita
As a young anointed, powerful, and humble servant of God, Minister Kenita Smith is passionate about sharing the Word of God with others in need of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
A surrendered, spirit-filled, vessel, Minister Smith makes herself available to be used by God to bring people into relationship with Him through Jesus Christ by administering the Word of God, prayer, writing, and prophecy.
At a very young age, this Woman of God has walked a path that has included trials, struggles, sickness, heartbreak, and betrayals yet God brought her through it all teaching her how to rely on Him and trust His plan.
Her ministry, Words of Life, encourages and uplifts those who encounter the Word of God through her. Minister Kenita Smith was born and raised in Champaign, Illinois.
Her love for God began at the tender age of six when she gave her heart to Jesus and was baptized.

She strayed from the Church during her teenage years but made her way back to the Lord in her early twenties. At age twenty-five, she had a unique encounter with God that forever changed her walk with Him. It was then that she realized the importance of a relationship with God, and the call of God on her life.
The anointing of God was strong upon her. She began to see visions and have dreams with messages for God’s people. At the age of twenty-nine, she preached her first sermon and has since moved forward in gifts of prophecy, teaching, evangelism, healing and deliverance, and exhortation. It didn’t take long for her Pastor at the time, Charles W. Bennafield, to see the call of God on her life.
On June 12, 2011, at the age of thirty-one, she was licensed as a minister and operated as a member of the leadership team at Crossroads Community Church Stone Mountain, GA, from the age of twenty-nine until thirty-six. In 2012, God opened the door for Kenita’s first book to be published, called Pearls for Pigs: Taking you through what God brought you to. Her one-minute devotional has been known to motivate and inspire others while walking this walk of faith. She later published volume II and has more books to come.
In addition to her ministry background, Minister Smith has her M.A in Christian Studies, M.B.A with a concentration in Healthcare Management, and is the President/CEO & Founder of a nonprofit called H.O.P.E, Inc. which serves low-income single parents working to obtain a college degree.
In spite of losing her late husband and becoming a young widow at the age of thirty-six, Kenita’s ministry is still going strong extending to all genders, nationalities, ethnicity, and ages. She has since remarried to Ronald Smith, Sr. and is the mother of Dre’don, Marcus, Ronald, Jr., and step-mother to Deon Lewis, Jr.

That’s No Longer Your Season
VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Sometimes in effort to empathize and show compassion for someone going through something we’ve gone through, we begin to relive a season that has passed for us. And honestly, some of us never leave! But I want to encourage you to move forward because your season has changed. “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”(Isaiah 43:18-19)

Have You Lost Anything in 2020?
In 2020, I was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. I lost my breast, but God gave me life! It has been years since I have posted a blog. I have gone through both heart ache and enormous joy all within the past few years, but I still have hope! I lost a husband, had two miscarriages, and as we all have, I have lost freedom to just do “life” as I use to, but can I tell you I have gained it all back!
It’s All Coming Back to You!
It’s been two years since my last post, and I’m sure I have COVID19 to thank for my ability to write today. In January of 2018, I told you all how I was so happy to be in a process of restoration after having battled cancer and losing my late husband in 2016. Well, today I am remarried, a new mommy to a four-month-old, and living in my very first owned home!
Out of the Valley
It has been a while since I’ve blogged. Not because I haven’t desired to, but because for the past year and a half I have been trying to balance my life, after losing my husband to bladder cancer in 2016. Having fought cancer with my husband for almost every year of my seven-year marriage, I realize what it is to be in the valley.
Where is My Vision?
It’s been a while since I’ve written, but I’m glad to say I’m back. As I posted last, my husband passed away four months ago, and I have been adapting to the “new normal.” What exactly that consist of I don’t know, but whatever it is I know I am equipped for it.
In the Battle, You are Never Alone!
It’s been a while since I have written a blog, but thank God that He has prompted me to write this morning. Over the past several months, my life has taken a drastic change. For those of you that have followed my blog, you know that my husband has battled cancer for years.
God Can Change Your Situation in Seconds…
It’s been a while since I’ve written. My life has had some pretty hard turns since the last post you’ve read. For those that are familiar with my blog, you know that my husband is battling Stage 4 Bladder Cancer that has spread to his lungs, and one day before Thanksgiving we found out it spread to his liver.
