TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

An excerpt from the History book

“Moreover, I will endeavour that ye may be able after I have gone, to always have these things in remembrance. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ but we were eye witnesses of His Majesty.” (2 Peter 1:15-16).

The Lord revealed Himself to me concerning this ministry as the above scripture says. Therefore, be of good courage. Be Holy before God. Jesus overcame all temptations. Therefore, do not be afraid of them.
(John 16:33) “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
All people should praise the Lord.” God bless you.

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