Dear Friends,

Happy 64th Anniversary ZAOGA FIFMI!!

MOI – WISE MAN CONFERENCE

In honour and celebration of the rich and unprecedented legacy of our father Archbishop Professor E H Guti, the Men Of Integrity (MOI) ministry held the 2nd Edition of the International Legacy Wiseman Conference at Ezekiel Guti International Convention Center. The conference ran from Thursday the 12th – Sunday the 15th of September 2024 under the theme “The Legacy Continues” with attendance rising from 2900 delegates on the first night to 9900 delegates on the last day.
30 Nations were represented at the conference, with the host nation (Zimbabwe) contributing 95% of the total attendance. Our mum Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti, the host our father Apostle Dr. Joseph Joe Guti, the Secretary-General, Deputy Secretary General, and Archbishop E Z Soko led a powerful team of speakers who included cabinet ministers, lawyers, medical doctors, evangelists, Go Quickly Director, mental health practitioners, and seasoned business circles. God used the speakers to flow in the same spirit reminding the delegates of the things that the Visionary Archbishop Professor E H Guti taught us.
Thousands of men were delivered from spirits of lying, stealing, spirits of stagnation, unfaithfulness, poverty, bloodlines issues, consulting sangomas, and false prophets. 21 men received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour. 58 people were baptized by the Holy Spirit. A partnership between MOI and ZAOGA Prisons ministry enabled 60 inmates from different prisons to attend the Wiseman Conference physically and they ministered in songs celebrating the unmatched Legacy of our Father. Business partners managed to exhibit their products throughout the conference.

A new chapter has been opened in the men’s ministry as we commit to holding onto the Legacy of our founding Father “Archbishop E H Guti”. We thank God for allowing our mum Archbishop Prof E H Guti to impart wisdom from her exceptional marriage journey with our father, and strengthening our father and conference Host Apostle Dr. Joseph Joe Guti to be with us throughout the conference and delivering a keynote teaching on self-control and the Legacy of the Fear of God. The message from Men of Integrity is clear “Long Live the Legacy of Archbishop Professor E H Guti”.

UAE

Ajman Assembly – We thank the God of our father, Apostle Professor Ezekiel H. Guti, for the successful launch of a new assembly in the Emirate of Ajman, UAE on the 1st of September 2024. A total of 33 people attended the inaugural service, consisting of 12 men, 12 women and 9 children. We give glory to God for drawing His people to this new assembly. In attendance were our local Pastors, Evangelist Taffy and Pastor Melania Mutizwa, Middle East Administrators Elders Mat and Liz Chakoreka, Regional Coordinators and dedicated chairing and vice chairing Elders of the Assembly.
With a focus on building on and carrying on the legacy of our father, the Assembly was launched under the theme “Building on a Firm Foundation.” The anchor scripture on was Philippians 4:9 reminding us: “Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do and the God of peace shall be with you.”

The Middle East Administrator, Elder Mat conducted Bible study focused on church growth, encouraging the Ajman family to witness and study the Word. Members were charged to fellowship, break bread, and go from house to house, fostering unity in order to grow both spiritually and numerically.
Evangelist Taffy, ministering under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, led a powerful teaching referencing the New African Apostle on the importance of standing firm in doing the work of God and continuing steadfastly in the Apostles’ doctrine. The official opening was declared by our pastor and evangelist, Taffy Mutizwa. After the church service, there was great fellowship and breaking of bread.
We are grateful for the grace upon our father, Apostle Professor Ezekiel H. Guti, and we commit to following his teachings and example as we build this assembly on a firm foundation laid for us. Glory be to God.

Dr Phil and Rev J Mutsambiwa took over from Pastors Madzikatire as interim Pastors, being gifted in evangelism and deliverance, they oversaw healing and deliverance sessions on Fridays dubbed special Friday Service. One person received Christ and 3 were water-baptized during their tenure.

Qatar gave the new Pastors a warm welcome and a leaders meeting was held.

Prayer Requests are numerical growth of the church and financial increase. We give all the glory to the God of our Father Ezekiel Guti for his grace.

THAILAND

Thailand church has been blessed with short-term missionary pastors, Apostle T. and Pastor J. Mike for the past month, glory to God. The church and its leadership have benefited tremendously from their vast knowledge through Leadership training sessions. Under their leadership, many structures have been set such as the finance committee and steering committee allowing the church to run smoothly. As the Apostle has introduced the topic of Church Standards, we look forward to excelling at retaining those who join us and continue to invite more colleagues as we are sure they will enjoy our well-structured services.
The members continue to testify of the wondrous works of our Lord as we continue to be blessed with jobs, promotions, and the notable covering of the Lord since the arrival of the Apostle and Mama Mike. They have been doing home visits; this has revived and united the church together. We had a baby shower for one of the new believers, the atmosphere was filled with love and unspeakable joy. The family testified that they had never seen this type of love. Beginning of the month we had our usual week of prayer and fasting. From our well-attended week, some people testified that after the apostles prayed for them they found jobs, visas, and salary increments miraculously, glory to the God of Ezekiel. Last week we had a big Sunday, where the joy, love, and unity were undeniable. We had a total attendance of 65 people, with 31 attending onsite compared to the normal of 16 people on average and 34 people online. This week’s attendance was 18 onsite and 42 online. We have truly seen the value of having Pastors to shepherd the church here in Thailand as our onsite numbers have been growing every week despite some members who have school commitments on Sundays and new members continue to flock in to receive the teachings of our Father Ezekiel H. Guti through our Pastors. Last week 6 new believers joined us for the first time; this week 5 people joined us; making a total of 11 people in the last two weeks only, 3 believers received Christ as their personal Savior, Hallelujah! Surely this seed of our father will not die. Apostle T. Mike ministered to the church through preaching and prayer; he encouraged the saints to work out their character and express love to those seemingly hard to love. Later, people had time to fellowship; surely love was present among the saints. Thank you for continuing to pray for us as we pray for you.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Ephesians 6:10-18
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
Control your nature, control your body. Today women get touched and they say in Shona, “ah iwe” (ah you) and do not complain then your nature begins to support his nature. Be careful going with that person you will sleep together even without loving each other. God wants to bless this church if we can control our nature and spirit of greed. Control your nature, if you don’t you always feel guilty… God bless you.

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