Dear Friends, CENTENARY BIRTHDAY MONTH.... HUNGARY Praise be to the God of our father Apostle Ezekiel H Guti for a blessed week as we continue to celebrate and praise God for the registration of Hungary FIF. This week 3 people committed themselves to be part of the FIF family. Monday online prayer had 6 gadgets logged in. 12 people attended mid-week Home cell groups. We had a powerful Sunday service with 7 people in attendance. Bible study was so powerful and motivated people to read the word of God. Thank you for keeping Hungary in your prayers. SEYCHELLES We are grateful to the God of Ezekiel as we join the global FIFMI family in celebrating our father's 100th birthday and 75 years of preaching the Gospel. We are still praying for a breakthrough to establish the seed of FIFMI here in Seychelles and we are already witnessing the power of this unique anointing. One of our elders recently prayed for a man who was dying in ICU; the heart had overgrown, and it was filled with water. The doctors had given up on him and they actually called his family to see him "for the last time". After the prayer, he miraculously recovered, the heart returned to normal size and the water disappeared. He was discharged and together with his wife, they happily gave their lives to Christ. We continue seeing the hand of God as we hold our weekly services and we are kindly requesting more prayers for more souls, speedy church registration, and a good place of worship. We are also believing and looking forward to receiving short-term missionaries to help with the work of God. MOROCCO Casablanca - We thank the God of Ezekiel for His grace toward us. We had such an amazing week with the three Bible study groups very vibrant and participative. We had two who were water baptised and an end-of-month Leadership fellowship. Sunday service was powerful, with 38 persons in attendance. 6 people were evidently filled with the Holy Spirit bubbling in tongues. The day was sealed with a sweet fellowship over a BBQ which was sponsored by a visiting sister from England. The joy of the Lord continues to overflow. Thank you for your prayers for us. Marrakech - We thank the God of Father Apostle E.H. Guti for another wonderful week. Our Sunday service registered an encouraging attendance of 16 adults and 9 children, despite the unavailability of several members who were attending a funeral. We received powerful testimonies of financial breakthroughs through obedience in giving tithes. Our two in-person bible study groups and mid-week online services were well attended. Thank you for your prayers. AUSTRALIA We thank the God of Ezekiel for granting us the opportunity to have our Annual Child Evangelism and Young Generation Conference from 28 - 30 April 2023. Our host and State Child Evangelism Pastor, Dr. Gwen Mawoko was in attendance along with Our State Overseer Dr. Tad Mawoko. We were also blessed to have the Australia National Child Evangelism Directors Pastors Mustafa and Nyasha Chikavhu as our guest speakers. A total of 69 CE/YG delegates were in attendance along with a team of dedicated teachers and volunteers who were working tirelessly to ensure the conference was a success. Some key highlights of the conference included: the children participating in various team-building exercises, outdoor activities, and sports such as flying foxes, obstacle courses, and basketball competitions. Praising, worshipping, and dancing around the campfire on Saturday Night. Each delegate actively participated in a ministry and they were encouraged to continue ministering in these departments even when they return to their local assemblies. Powerful life-changing teachings including addictions (their dangers and how to steer clear of them), identity (how to navigate and overcome racism and sexuality according to God's standards), and the importance of obeying and appreciating the parents God has blessed them with. 36 were filled with the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues and 2 were refilled. Many were delivered from pornography, masturbation, homosexuality, the spirit of suicide, and spirits that follow the bloodline. Their lives will surely not remain the same.

This week:
TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI'S MESSAGE We need to bring more young people into leadership. You produce your own kind, if we are old we attract old people. The world is full of young people therefore we need them in leadership. We have to be able to help them. Those in leadership help the new leaders Acts 14:21-23 "And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 11:12 talks about taking the kingdom of God by force. We have to enter the kingdom of God fighting because the enemy doesn’t want us to enjoy the kingdom of God. If you are preaching future blessings, the devil cannot attack you, he says continue but if you tell the truth about the kingdom now he will attack you because you are telling the truth. Entering the kingdom of God is not so easy. The enemy will try to hinder you so you will not enjoy the blessings...God bless you. |
