Dear Friends,

Happy 64th Anniversary ZAOGA FIFMI!!

AUSTRALIA

We are so thankful to the God of Ezekiel for a remarkably outstanding Zone 1 Deeperlife Conference which ran under the theme of the year from 26-29 September 2024 at the Ezekiel Guti Convention Centre in Sydney, Australia. Delegates from 7 States and Territories of Australia were joined by those from Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and New Zealand. In addition, we also had one Elder from Canada and two from Zimbabwe. We were highly favoured by God to receive a high-powered delegation of Speakers led by our mother, Snr Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti. We also give glory to God to be the First Nation to host the newly consecrated The Presiding Bishop, Apostle Dr Joseph Joe Guti who came along with our mother, Pastor Nyasha Guti, the DSG, Apostle Drs Steve La-Verne Simukai, Rev Leticia Nyambo, Overseers Drs Winston & Dorcas Jaricha, Overseers Prosper & Tekna Mutumbwa, Overseers N & N Normans, Overseers R & T. Makosa and Pastor Cynthia. The international delegation was joined by a panel of local Speakers that included two Young Adults and short-term missionaries, Overseers Ed and Eddy Chizeya. The attendance rose from 355 on the first night to 685 on Sunday which was a Special Big Sunday. An average of 100 gadgets were logged on rising to 305 on Sunday. All the Speakers were mightily used by God, and we saw the God of Ezekiel at work. Deliverance, healing, restoration, and exhortation were taking place throughout the Conference. Friday night was the Legacy night highlighted by a well-orchestrated Official Opening. The Friday and Saturday nights saw massive deliverance and Holy Spirit baptism taking place. 20 people received Jesus as their Lord and Saviour whereas 14 people were filled by the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues for the very first time. Here are some of the miracles that took place:
A man who had been experiencing pain in his arm for a while got healed and immediately lifted a heavy object as evidence of what God did for him
A diabetic man got healed. He experienced a burning sensation across his body during the miraculous healing process.
A woman was healed from neck pain, the neck had been stiff for the entire day, and received healing during the ministration of healing prayer.
A lady got healed from a painful shoulder that had been in pain for a significant amount of time.
A lady received emotional healing during the alter call.
On Sunday God gave us grace as our mother, the Snr Archbishop Prof. Eunor Guti took the stage and delivered a powerful prophetic message to the Nation and the delegates encouraging us to continue with the things we learned, received, heard, and saw in our father, especially Soul Winning. She concluded with a pivotal teaching on the importance of reading and meditating on the Word of God. Our father, The Presiding Bishop Dr Joseph Joe Guti then concluded the Conference re-emphasizing that the Word for Australia was on “Restoration”. As a nation, we also took the opportunity of the Big Sunday to celebrate the consecration of The Presiding Bishop as the Senior Archbishop took time to present him together with our mother, Rev Nyasha Guti to the Nation alongside the DSG Apostle Drs. Steve & La-Verne and Rev. Leticia Nyambo.
This Deeper Life was rich in every aspect, and we are grateful to God for that. Next is our Zone 2 Deeper Life from 3-6 October 2024 and we invite you all to pray with us. Australia will truly never remain the same. The Legacy continues.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Ps 51:17 “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.
James 4:6-7 “But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
The key for God to move is respect for one another. A Pastor is a gift. People feel good when there is a pastor. It is the Spirit of God in the pastor that will look after the church. Elders and pastors must respect each other. Having a good heart is a choice you make then God will give you grace. It’s not praying too much, you decide and believe it and God will do it … God bless you.

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