Dear Friends
The Youth International Leadership Conference HD8 was a great success. Speakers were mightily used to ground the youth. Also the youth speakers showed the faithfulness of God in raising true disciples of our father Ezekiel. Attendance came to 2240 by Sunday. For the first time Zambia and Mozambique had 56 and 39 members respectively. A total of 134 internationals attended the conference. Thank you for your prayers
Hatfield District
We are thankful to the God for the successful month of prayer and fasting in October which brought a great revival at Hatfield Revival Center. People are coming in their numbers including their children. An average of 1200 people are gathering every morning from 4am-5am calling on the God of Ezekiel. Great deliverance is taking place as people are being free from the spirit of witchcraft, spiritual husbands and the demon of prayerlessness has been conquered. Fire came down at Hatfield Revival Center. We are truly experiencing refreshing times. Glory be the God of our father Ezekiel !!
Here are some of the results of prayers around the world:
St Kitts & Nevis
We had a blessed week. As a lead up to BIG SUNDAY, activities started with Friday night prayer and praise seeing 16 in attendance while Saturday evening’s event took the form of Praise and Worship and prayer for BIG SUNDAY.
BIG SUNDAY Worship highlighted FIFMI’s theme “The Year of Having so we won’t loose what we have” brought two different islands but one family in the kingdom of God to worship in a BIG WAY. There were 46 persons plus 4 Pastors in attendance. Pastors Dennis and Abigail led some 18 Members of the St. Kitts assembly across the waters to Nevis where they were welcomed with fellowship and prayer and praise. Pastor Abigail led a stirring Bible Study session on love and forgiveness. An awesome word was delivered by Pastor Dennis. He stirred up emotion and drew members to the edge of their seats when he read from Apostle Dr. E. H. Guti’s book “Hidden Treasure in the Kingdom of God”. This was followed by persons approaching the altar for prayer and closed with Holy Communion.
Fellowship continued with a scrumptious lunch at our fellowship Hall. We thank God for the men and women of God and the word of God delivered in a BIG way on this our BIG SUNDAY WORSHIP. One member that was very ill and hospitalized over the last few weeks was welcomed back to church through much prayer. We thank God for the power in prayer. Amen.
Barbados
It has been a great week for us here in Barbados. We were under a Tropical Rain surge but our weekly services went on well.
A sweet spirit is reigning in the church. We had a lady who stood up in church to ask for forgiveness from another believer and almost everyone was in tears. The fruits of the teachings are so evident in the lives of the believers. We now have many people who have found jobs in the professions they trained for after prayer and fasting. Testimonies of reconciliation in the believers’ relationships with spouses, children, with workmates, and fellow churchmates are many. The lives of the people have been tremendously changed by the word of God. The God of Ezekiel surely brings a full package.
The Sunday service was awesome. We had a powerful Anointing Service and 39 people were in attendance. The presence of God was awesome and a riveting word was shared. The church is growing stronger and stronger. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.
Miami
Our weekly services went well. Friday prayer is continuing to strengthen us, and build our trust in the Lord. More people are joining the prayer time. Morning prayers together with the Orlando Church are also strengthening us and giving certain individuals breakthroughs as they believe and receive from the Lord.This Sunday service was sweet and sour since we missed one of our sisters who moved to another city last week. We are discovering a lot of traveling attached to this city, besides the God of our father is giving us strength. Glory to God!.Thank you for the continuously standing with us in prayers for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
Bahrain
We continue to be blessed by the God of the Servant and Apostle E.H. Guti who has shown us great love and tenderness as we grow spiritually. 2 more people were baptized in the Arabian Gulf Sea. In addition to Tuesday Evening Bible Study, the pastors introduced Wednesday evening bible study and prayer meetings to accommodate those who cannot attend normal services on Fridays.
Sadly, Friday, 27 October 2017, was our last formal service with Pastors Samuel and Angeline Mapokotera as they will be leaving for Zimbabwe after completing their term on missionary duty. We will sorely miss them for the exceptional guidance, support and love they gave to us. The farewell service was unique as part of it was dedicated to screening of a documentary about the pastors’ teachings by the coordinator Mr Gillespie. We also had an American couple visiting who went on to spend the day with us. The service concluded with a fellowship and farewell lunch at the pastors’ house. A former FIF member who joined at the lunch rededicated his life to the church with his two friends deciding to be members also. God was so gracious we again received a deacon from S.A. Cape Town District who has come to work in Bahrain.
Glory be to God for the miracles that took place:
We thank the God of Our father for answering prayers, continue to remember Bahrain in your prayers as we work for the church registration.
Philippines
Thank you for praying for us. This week we managed to have all mid-week services. We thank God that the Guitarist who was healed by God after we prayed for him donated a guitar to the church, glory to God. We purchased a CPU for the church through a donation from one of the elders in Zimbabwe, God is so amazing. The church is excited that it now has a computer which uses a smart TV as its monitor, making power point presentations more handy. The Sunday service was attended by 11 adults and 10 children. Hallelujah. Our Pastors delivered powerful messages. We had Holy Communion and one child was dedicated. After the service, we had fellowship we also bade farewell to our Pastors Ashton and Sarah Kachamakwara, who are now going back to Zimbabwe. We hope to receive other missionaries soon so the church may continue to grow.
Madagascar
We continue to thank the God of our father Apostle Ezekiel H. Guti for His grace. The church in the capital Antananarivo continues to grow and be grounded with the teaching of Forward In Faith and the word go God.
We thank God 8 people attended Tuesday prayer and people are now starting to sell working talents. On Friday 7 adults attended the all night prayer. On Sunday we had 20 adults and 7 children who attended in different assemblies. We have many home cell groups that are functioning but we ask your prayers for God to strengthen the believers and for them to be faithful in attending Sunday Service. Please pray for God to move in a mighty way with healing, deliverance and prophecy at our miracle night happening this Friday.
Thank you for your continuous prayers.
Dominican Republic
We are seeing the mighty hand of the God of Ezekiel here in the Dominican Republic, as miracles continue to flow from the great anointing laid by Dr. Steve and his team. They have left, but we here have shifted to a new dimension and we are seeing the kingdom of God and the seed which was planted starting to sprout. We were a full house in both assemblies with a total of 33 in Pedro Brand 28 and 32 respectively in Mutata. When one woman came forward in Alcarizo, Mutata assembly, they all said she can’t receive Jesus because she’s deaf and mute. God opened her ears and mouth and she repeated the sinner’s prayer to everyone’s amazement. Glory to God! A new mission house has also been acquired after the 2 year lease ended. A great miracle indeed and sign of walking in the kingdom! There is excitement at having a bible study and service at this new location. Praise the Lord!
Cyprus
We thank the God of our father for the just ended summer season as our believers are now back from different parts of the world they had travelled to. Since the Apostles’ visit to the Island, the church in Cyprus has only been going from glory to glory. Believers are getting more grounded in the word and in prayer. We were going to the mountain on Fridays for all night prayers and average attendance was 60. Since the laying of the Apostolic foundation, Pastor Hillary and our Evangelism team have been going to the streets witnessing and passing out flyers and God has added to the body 45 new members. Our assembly in Lefke is growing at rocket speed through street evangelism. Attendance in Lefke this Sunday was 117. Magusa 46 and Lefkosa 288. Thank you for your prayers.

This week:
TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE
Mark 4:24-25 Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given. For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
We have been preaching the book of Mark 4:24-25. This is a spiritual thing. When you hear the word much you will have things added. How can you “have” when you are not praying and not reading the word? If you hear more of the Word of God, you will get blessed. At the end of the year some will testify that I lost my things or I got something.
Many people in ZAOGA have the spirit of business and do not have time to read the Bible and to pray. Some of us are not supposed to start businesses but to work at a company. Seek ye first the kingdom of God. Trust God not your energy. When you pray hear and read the Word of God a lot. Seek the kingdom of God don’t seek to bless yourself. Hear carefully, we are now nearing the end of the year, what do you have? God bless you.
