Dear Friends, Happy 62nd Anniversary ZAOGA FIFMI!! COVENANT KINGDOM ZEGU TALENTS We give praise to the God of Ezekiel for enabling His people to work talents. At the end of October many provinces outside of Harare celebrated Talents. The greater Harare, Norton and Chitungwiza Celebrations took place this past weekend with all 14 provinces witnessing joy unspeakable as people gave testimonies of the miracles that took place as they worked talents. To top it off, the Apostles of Jesus Christ, our father and mother, Prof Ezekiel H. and Dr. Eunor addressed the whole nation over Zoom congratulating and thanking the saints for the great work done. Baba said if we obey the blessings will come and overtake us. They were so full of joy and encouraged everyone to rejoice over what they had given to the Lord. Our father prayed a blessing over the people. Glory to God! USA Oregon- We had a very good Thanksgiving weekend. Some of our members went out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday. The remaining ones gathered at one of the believer’s homes for Thanksgiving. The dinner ended up being a church service with testimonies of the goodness of the Lord in people's lives, some even in tears. Sunday was attended by 14 people, 11 adults and 3 children. The people who were baptised a few weeks ago received their baptism certificates with joy. We need prayers for the upcoming Christmas Dinner, which is meant to be a Soul Winning strategy.

This week:
TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI'S TALENTS MESSAGE We congratulate you on the hard-working of the covenant kingdom talents that you have worked. I believe each of you like I am, are surprised to see how God has done miracles in our lives as we were working the talents. I say congratulations to you. But I want to help somebody, maybe you saw others working and you didn’t know what they were doing or you took it as something that anyone can do, and if one doesn’t want he/she can just let it go. Let me tell you what this school of talents helps. Gen 22:15-18 Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” If we read in the ZAOGA FIFMI history book we will see that there is a quotation of the scripture where our father the apostle and servant of God says the Lord said to me I am blessing you with great blessings so that you can bless many people and raise up the poor. Note the phrase "raise up the poor"...TO BE CONTINUED. 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 |
