Apostles Update

Mar 2, 2021    Dr Laverne

Dear Friends,

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY LIVE BROADCAST
Pastor Canisio Manyuchi from South Africa featured on this Sunday’s broadcast sharing on the topic “Unpacking the Hidden Treasure in the Kingdom of God”. To unpack is to open up a package, similarly we have to open up what God has given us as Kingdom citizens. He referenced our Father Apostle Ezekiel Guti who teaches that the Kingdom of God is a mystery and takes much prayer to understand it. The treasure is riches of God in Christ which is available to the saints and we gain access to it through the Holy Spirit. The Kingdom of God is enjoyed in the Holy Spirit, He is the one who makes us to understand. There is no need to cry about your situation because there is your solution in God, He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all you ask think or imagine according to the power that works in you. He ended by declaring divine health to those with infirmity in the name of Jesus Christ.

MOROCCO
We are witnessing the faithfulness of the God of our Father Apostle Ezekiel Guti here in Morocco. Our 3 in-person Bible study groups continued to meet with good attendance. Our weekly online Wednesday Bible study and Friday prayer meetings were also well attended and the church was greatly encouraged by the teachings of Pastor Enoch Tigere and Elder Innocent Kamasho from the UK. We had a wonderful Sunday service, which saw a total attendance of 35 despite harsh weather conditions. On Sunday we were also able to launch the children's church which brought a lot of joy and excitement to the children. We continue believing God for the sustained growth of the church and completion of the registration process.

GUYANA
Sunday 28th February saw the incoming missionaries Pastors Newman and Alice Kuzamba hit the ground running after bidding farewell to Dr. David and Pastor Florence Simango farewell. The Church was excited to welcome their new missionaries. In Guyana the church is meeting live, that is face to face. After water baptism of 4 had taken place early on Monday, the motion was set for Home visitations. Glory be to God in this Georgetown City they are inviting their own kindred for church. We had an attendance of 54 people this Sunday and it was encouraging to see almost everyone take to the dance floor during Praise and Worship. The Pastor uplifted our spirits as preached from our Father Apostle Ezekiel Guti's book entitled “The Integrity of the Word”. People were prayed for and 2 ladies testified that they have now decided to be full time members of FIF Church.

ST KITTS & NEVIS
As our weekly activities continue this Wednesday we had 8 people for Bible study and on Saturday the Ladies were afforded the opportunity to join with some 51 Caribbean Ladies as Go Quickly was celebrating their first Big Saturday service. They were so excited to experience a powerful and timely delivery of the Word by Pastor Meg Phiri and Pastor Tina Mashushire. Sunday’s worship was filled with the Holy Spirit and saw 35 persons in attendance (22 Adults/13 Children which included 2 Visitors) beautifully attired in African wear and worshipping and praising God for all of the blessings He has bestowed on us during the past week. Bible study delivered by Elder Cheryl was insightful followed by an inspiring and motivating Word. Two members testified in song of the goodness of God and another testified that she had woken up with headaches for the last three days and she prayed to God and was healed. Glory to God.

BARBADOS
We thank the God of our Father Apostle Ezekiel Guti for His grace and faithfulness. Believers are persistently engaging in praying for our nation as we go through the 2nd phase of this pandemic and they are meeting online for prayer everyday in the morning and evening. The Deacons took turns in sharing the Word as we see the numbers in attendance have been increasing; healing and deliverance service was on Wednesday and the Men of Integrity also met on Thursday. We are indeed thankful for what God is doing in Barbados as we continue to pray. Sunday Service was awesome, hosted by the Kingdom Youths followed by powerful ministry of the Word by Youth chairlady Kim, the message was on forgiveness and many believers were encouraged and received their healing and deliverance.


UNITED KINGDOM
We want to thank the God of our Father Apostle Ezekiel Guti for yet another powerful prayer retreat this year 2021 as female Pastors. This year our prayer was done virtually on Zoom. We had on average 33 gadgets logging on. We were blessed to have Bishop Angeline Chabarwa as our speaker. She taught on what the Servant and Apostle of God, our Father Professor Ezekiel Guti taught during the 10days prayer camp in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe. The testimonies highlighted that as female Pastors we are grateful for this vision, for being shown the grey areas in my life and for the opportunity to cleanse their lives before God and to be real Christians. We will never be the same again.


UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Abu Dhabi - We had a blessed week. During the Friday Service, we received a powerful teaching from our Pastor Thomas Dewa who taught about righteousness as The Key to Kingdom Lifestyle. The attendance was outstanding. There was a total of 126 gadgets logged onto the online church platform. The Young Adults had their Farewell Service for the outgoing Pastors, Pastors Farai and Tsitsi Kupamhama who were also the guest speakers of that service. The service was a success by the grace of God. Other activities that happened during the week include the ongoing morning devotions, everyday of the week from 4am to 5am. This week is also the beginning of a week prayer and fasting. Our desire is to grow as a church and for all believers to transform into the character of God. Pray for us as we are working on raising money for our Store House.

BOTSWANA
We want to thank the God of our father, Apostle Ezekiel H. Guti for allowing us once again this time as female Pastors in Botswana to have our national prayer retreat, which was channelled online through Whatsapp. Our prayer started very well with 26 female Pastors in attendance. Our two speakers DP Isabel Machuwaire and Reverend Gift Ranga delivered powerful and life transforming messages mainly in character building as they received from our Father and Mother, Apostles Drs. Ezekiel and Eunor Guti at the 2021 10 Days prayer camp. God spoke to us as female Pastors and testimonies were coming in from among us as God was working our lives through the teachings that we received. One of the pastors testified that she cried as the Holy Spirit revealed to her that she was a controlling wife, not submitting most of the time. Truly our lives will never be the same. Our prayer retreat ended with our Bishop Dr. Hildah Nchunga appreciating all those who participated during this Go Quickly prayer retreat.

ZIMBABWE
The female Pastors in Zimbabwe have been holding prayer retreats in their provinces receiving teachings that were taught by the Servant and Apostles of God, our father & mother, Professor Ezekiel. H. & Dr. Eunor Guti at the 2021 Ten days prayer camp. Reports confirm that every female pastor is working hard on dealing with their character in order to become a vessel unto honor and also become intercessors who pray prayers that are a sweet smelling incense to the Lord. We want to thank our Father and Mother for such a great vision.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI'S MESSAGE

Please note we are repeating this series:
John 20:1-18
You can pray for me but are you my disciple? According to your hunger He will appear to you. It was the same grave but they saw differently. Some saw cloths. Some saw handkerchief. Then they went back. Mary said I cannot go back. Mary saw an angel in the same grave. In the garden Mary saw Jesus. How come from one grave they saw different things? Peter saw what John didn’t see. Mary saw what these two did not see. According to your hunger He will reveal Himself to you. Mary saw white-robed angels. They asked her whom she was looking for. As she turned in the garden she saw a man standing, it was Jesus. Mary asked the man where they had put Jesus....TO BE CONTINUED. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you,
