TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE
Mark 11:22-24 “So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. “Therefore, I say to you, Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”
You must be born by God for you to be able to claim the blessings from your father. So, we believe the Kingdom of God then we speak, and things happen. You don’t need to add anything, there is nothing that we should add. It’s like sowing the maize seed on the ground. You just have to sow the seed. There is nothing that you must do to quicken the germination process underground. All what you have to do is to add water and remove weeds, nothing else and stay home. There nothing else that you have to add, you will then just see it germinating. Just believe and speak it will happen itself. I am explaining to you how the Kingdom of God is like.…. God bless you.
We love you and are praying for you.
Apostle Drs. Steve & La-Verne Simukai
