Dear Friends,

Happy 64th Anniversary ZAOGA FIFMI!

INTERNATIONAL SPECIAL BIG TUESDAY

We give glory to the God of Ezekiel for a successful International Special Big Tuesday held on November 19, 2024. This event marked an outstanding moment as ladies from all over the world gathered, both online and in person, at the Ezekiel Guti International Conference Centre in Harare, Zimbabwe. More than 8,000 ladies attended in person, with some walking, driving, and even taking buses from as far as Binga and Beitbridge. Some drove through the night just to witness this great day. The auditorium was filled with joy and excitement. Thousands logged on to YouTube, Facebook, Zoom platform and Ezekiel TV.
The atmosphere was charged with the presence of God as the ladies united in prayer for His work. Powerful testimonies were shared from all corners of the globe, expressing gratitude for the legacy left by our father, Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti.
Our mum, Senior Archbishop Dr. Eunor, delivered a profound message from the book “Secret Wisdom in Times of Difficulty and the Power of Words” (Psalms 141:3; Proverbs 18:21) where she taught us the need to use wisdom and watch our words, which can cause us to lose godliness. She encouraged us, as ladies who pray for the work of God, to embody godliness in our relationships at home, at work, and in public spaces.
Hundreds of ladies came up to receive emotional healing. Seven ladies gave their lives to Christ, and many received prayer for healing and deliverance. The women, both online and in person, left the meeting revived, refreshed, and healed. There was joy all over the Go Quickly platforms around the FIFMI world. Glory be to the God of Ezekiel!

CITY CHRISTIAN CENTRE INTERNATIONAL LOCAL MOTHER CHURCH

We were divinely favoured on the 24th of November as our Mum Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti made an Apostolic visit to our church. Congregants lined from outside the gate to one of the entrances of the church and welcomed her as she entered the auditorium and there was a shift in the atmosphere as the Holy Ghost’s presence filled the auditorium.
Different ministries and choirs gave heartfelt and joyful presentations through singing and dancing. 1,918 congregants were gathered in the auditorium as our Mum gave a life-changing teaching that left a great impact on our lives. Her love and patience were truly made evident to us as she took her time to dissect the Word of God together with the doctrine of our church so that we remain rooted and grounded. She also enlightened us on daily living as a Christian as she taught about the fear of God, godly character, and righteousness. Moreover, she reminded us of the foundation that our father laid for this church so that we do not get easily swayed.
14 souls gave their lives to Christ as they heeded the call for salvation. She ministered to people who had emotional hurts and many were counselled and prayed for as faith clinic took place. 34 people were baptised with the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues. Many miracles took place during the move of the Holy Spirit. One notable miracle is that a woman who had been hospitalized because of back pains and was struggling to walk was instantly healed when our Mum prayed for her. A total of 9 people were water baptized. Our Mum prayed for the church and released a blessing over us as she concluded. Truly, our lives will not remain the same after such a great Apostolic visit

IRELAND AND ISLE OF MAN PROVINCE

We want to thank the God of our father for a successful Mother and Daughter Fusion, which took place on the 22nd – 23rd of November here In Ireland and Isle of Man Province. We had such a wonderful time in the presence of the Lord with our daughters. Attendance grew from 33 on Friday to 44 on Saturday mothers and daughters. It was a bonding experience with mothers sharing about their daughters and also daughters speaking about how their relationship with their mother is and how best it can be improved. Overseer Christine Kurumidzai Sabvute shared a message on Hunger from John 20vs 1-18. Ten people received Jesus as their personal Saviour, and 1 person received the Holy Spirit. We thank God for the testimonies of reconciliation that are coming, glory be to God.

UNITED KINGDOM

The God of our Father Ezekiel Handiwangu Guti is truly faithful. He allowed the Single Ladies in their numbers to have their Annual Thanksgiving Big Sunday at the EGCC on 24th November 2024, together with their Umbrellas. We had Bishop J & G Chikwawawa who were mightily used by God as the speakers; the presence and joy of the Lord were overwhelming.
We did our usual to support the work of God as Single Ladies. Modeling activities added excitement as Miss United Kingdom and two Princesses were crowned. The service ended in fellowship with food and drinks. The Single Ladies who were sitting in their categories, diamond, golden, and silver, had time to interact and encourage each other.
We would like to appreciate all the leadership for making it a success indeed, the God of Ezekiel is faithful.

On Sunday Deacon Tanya shared the word in the Independence Assembly, and Pastor Diane taught from “Human Beings Cannot Change Without Pressure”. In Belize City, there was a mighty visitation of the Holy Spirit during praise and worship as we had extended hours basking in his presence, and God spoke to strengthen the church. Pastor Victory exhorted us from the word of God spoken during praise and worship. We had 37 people in attendance at our services today.

Our outreach efforts were fruitful, distributing over 1,000 flyers and engaging with people from all walks of life – men, women, and children.

TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI’S MESSAGE

Phil 4:9 “The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”
If you want the blessing of FIFMI – I want you to have what I have – I am different. If you listen to me and follow me, you will have what I have. When you see me doing something, do what I do so you get the blessing. Elders who do their own things cause the church to be dry. You can’t be a disciple of 2 churches or doctrines. A beautiful church doesn’t imply a good church – some leaders sleep with girls in other churches, etc. Some churches speak nice words to entice you, but when you go inside, there’s nothing. Do you want the blessing of FIFMI? Follow me as I follow Christ. If I’m not following Christ, don’t follow me.… God bless you.

We love you and are praying for you,

Apostle Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai
