Apostles Update Week 7

by drlaverne on February 23, 2021 - 04:46

Dear Friends,

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY LIVE BROADCAST

Pastor Isabel Machuwaire (Zimbabwe) was on the platform this Sunday sharing on the topic “Continue Steadfastly”. She foregrounded that the doctrine and teaching of the apostles in the New Testament was meant to ground believers in turn making them disciples of Jesus Christ. Then highlighted reasons why some people have fallen away from the faith such as persecution and rejection, the love of the world, ensnared by new and trending doctrines, severe pressures and afflictions of life, unteachable/unsubmissive spirit and success. Her thrust was that when you have got a spiritual father you don’t need to do trial and error, just hold fast to the teachings of the man God has chosen. In the case of FIFMI we have got Archbishop Prof Ezekiel Guti who says that this ministry is built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. When we strive to become his disciples we will become true disciples of Jesus Christ. As we empty ourselves, submit, imitate him we will prosper and he will teach us the ways of God. Pastor Isabel’s final admonition was that we run our race and continue steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine.

ST MAARTEN

We give glory to the God of our Father, the Servant and Apostle of God, Dr. Ezekiel Guti for His goodness towards the people in this island. This week has been an amazing week and the feedback and testimonies out of morning glory are great. Sunday's service was powerful, powerful devotions, Holy Spirit led praise and worship, and powerful encouragement from our International speaker, Pastor Isabel Machuwaire with an attendance of 13, 6 in house and 7 on Zoom.

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO

We give glory to God for yet another blessed week. Midweek prayers are being attended with a positive response. We have people from other churches who are logging in for the prayers as believers are inviting others to attend. Despite some being at work yet effort is being witnessed of believers showing a hunger for God. Friday we held a service with an attendance of 9. Sunday service went down history lane as we had time to talk about how the church was started in Trinidad and Tobago with few individuals testifying how much the God of our Father Apostle Ezekiel Guti has changed their lives. It raised others’ faith. We also had time to listen to the audio for the international big Sunday.

GUYANA

We thank the God of our Father, the Apostle and Servant of God, Dr. Ezekiel Guti for His faithfulness to His children. We had a blessed week. The women had a wonderful time on Tuesday prayer meeting with 15 ladies in attendance and 1 lady gave her life to Jesus Christ. Our online Friday service was good with 25 logging in. We had a powerful big Sunday with 74 people in attendance and 10 children. 3 people gave their lives to Jesus Christ. Glory to God. After church we had fellowship and we ate food together. It was something in Guyana to see people refuse to go home because of fellowship. Thank you very much people of God for your prayers we are continuing to see the hand of God in action.

ST KITTS & NEVIS

Nevis - Our weekly prayers are continuing online on Monday and Friday nights at 7pm while on Wednesdays our Pastor meets members for counselling with Bible Study immediately after. Our Men of Integrity group is slowly growing as the men reach out to others for discussions and strategizing upcoming community events. We give glory to God as we watch our men come together. Sunday’s worship was rich with a vibrant Bible study on "Salvation”. Our attendance was a total of 24 (18 Adults / 6 Children) and the Praise Team made us ready for the delivery of the Word by Brother Ernest. To God be the glory as we see members among us showing their potential and talents to raise the church up.

UNITED KINGDOM

EGEA- We thank the God of our Father, the Apostle and Servant of God, Dr. Ezekiel H. Guti for His goodness to His people in the United Kingdom. This week we had another episode of our monthly national online crusade hosted by the national EGEA UK Crusade Team. Evangelist Enock Tigere delivered a powerful Word that was followed by signs and wonders. We have had almost 4 000 views on our Facebook page and records show that the crusade reached over 8 000 people. Another miracle of the night among many was when a couple called to receive Jesus as their Savior, we also have testimonies of people who were healed and delivered. These are some of the testimonies:

A man who had suffered with back pain for 6 months and not able to sit without being supported by cushions was healed and started praising God.
A lady with ringing in both ears testified that she received her deliverance as the Word was being preached.
Many people called in and testified of their deliverance from sickness, fear, nightmares and many more things.

We continue to give glory to God as we press on under the guidance of our UK leadership. We pray for more souls in our every month national crusades spread throughout the year.

CHINA

We give glory to the God of our Father Apostle Ezekiel Guti, we had a powerful online national leadership seminar, with an attendance of 32 leaders logging in for 5 hours straight. We were graced by powerful speakers. Overseers M and G Gombakomba and Overseers Dr H and J Nyakonda who taught on different aspects of leadership in a powerful manner. Then from 19-21 February the youth had a powerful prayer retreat online with the International Youth Director Overseer Calisto Manyati as our guest speaker. The attendance was massive with an average of 68 people logging in. We also had guests from UK, Russia, Malaysia, Cyprus, Australia, Canada Emirates, South Africa and Zimbabwe. We believe the leaders and youth of China will never be the same again.

INDIA

We thank the God of our Father Apostle Ezekiel Guti for His grace throughout the month of January, we started the year with prayer and fasting, and the Spirit of the Lord moved powerfully delivering His people and we saw the hand of the Lord touching His people's lives. A lady who was staying in a rented house for 25 years bought land to build a house and her son who was addicted to alcohol is no longer drinking. We would like to thank you for your prayers, support and ask that you continue to pray that the Lord may add new souls to the church and for a church building.

BOTSWANA

We have experienced God at work in our nation since the launch of the Families Builder Ministry (FAMB) in November last year. We managed to hold a powerful training seminar from the 19th to 20th of February 2021. It was a blessing to receive teachings from District Pastors Kagura and Mupangeri as well as the International Director Pastor L.P Muchenje. The Training was on two platforms, WhatsApp and Facebook. We saw the God of our father at work as people were so hungry to receive these teachings in order to fulfil the vision of restoring back their marriages and families.

Go Quickly Ladies in Gaborone held a Prayer Retreat from the 11th to the 14th of February 2021 on Whatsapp with two groups of 257 participants each. Our National mother, Dr. Hildah Nchunga was the main speaker.

A lady witnessed the hand of God in her business after these prayers when people owing started paying her and the business is back to its feet after this prayer.
Another lady’s marriage was on the rocks and almost falling but through this prayer retreat, God has restored back her marriage.

We thank the God of our Father Apostle Ezekiel Guti for this vision as people are confessing and lives being mended, people forgiving each other in repentance and seeking for Godly character.

MOZAMBIQUE

We received the vision of the Female Pastors Prayer Retreat with gladness and it was a great success despite the current situation in churches because of the restrictions of Coronavirus. The participation was great. All the speakers were mightily used by God during the Prayer Retreat namely: Bishop Ndomupei Mpanduki, Bishop Esther Kataya and Reverend Caillar Mlhandla, they were able to express what they heard from our Father, the Servant of God, Apostle Ezekiel Guti with great impact. All the female Pastors testified that they were spiritually enriched and their lives were transformed. We thank our Father together with our Mother Apostle Eunor Guti for such a great vision.

This week:

Thanking God for the Servant and Apostles of God, Prof Ezekiel H. & Dr. Eunor Guti that He continues to give them supernatural strength and protect them on a daily basis. May He give them wisdom for the work that is constantly growing.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI'S MESSAGE

My request to you, can you be my disciple. I need disciples. Jesus stayed with them 3 years. I need disciples so when I get old they will see me in you. Our enemy is our character. Character you don’t change by fasting but by making decision to change and begin to change. When we preached the Kingdom of God in Harare, people prospered and gave to the Lord but a new generation came and preached their own gospel and the people went into poverty. Why not preach the Kingdom of God. If you are my disciple, why not learn from me, follow, me as I follow Christ. The key is to be a disciple. Deal with your character. It is a decision you have to make. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you,

Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
