Moreover, it was an awesome time in God’s presence. The nation had time to celebrate Missions and people rejoiced jubilantly celebrating what they had given to their God.
With teachings on the kingdom of God, the covenant in ZAOGA Forward in Faith, the Holy Spirit, the chain of multiplication, marriage, talents, and many more topics, the leaders were equipped, encouraged, and empowered. The emerging generation also took part in sharing the word of God.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Psalm 51:17 “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.”

Don’t read scripture for preaching but read the word to deal with your spirit – that’s what I do. Scriptures are there to deal with us.
Matt 11:29 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [a]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
When someone lives in sin it will discourage you but you need to remember that Jesus said learn from me. As you go, fear God, that way you will overcome a lot of things. Read the word for your soul, the word of God will deal with your spirit. He is meek and lowly in heart. Never learn from the wrong people. Jesus said learn from me. Check if you are learning from Jesus…. God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you,
Apostle Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
