This week:
TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI'S MESSAGE If you are gifted, you are in trouble. There’s a lot of temptation around you to make you fall. Know your father and don’t allow everyone to help you - have one person. Let others talk but don’t take everything. Fight with your nature. The problem that takes away blessings from us is with the flesh. God sees the heart that you are honest and faithful and you don’t want to sin...... God bless you. |
We love you and are praying for you, Apostle Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai ZAOGA Forward In Faith Ministries Int. +263 777 282 356, +263 777 282 092 info@fifmi.org | www.fifmi.org |
