apostle AZ & friendz of Christ

 A person may be poor yet be a friend of God. Sick in body , yet be God's favourite. A man may be rich and be a friend of God, poor and be a witch or rich and be a witch. Zvese zviriko. It is NOT what WE HAVE or HAVE NOT that defines our standing with God. Before meeting Jesus, Zaccheaus was rich and corrupt (Luke 19). Simon had money & followers, yet he was a witch-doctor (Acts 8: 9-24). Abraham was rich, yet he feared God (Genesis 13:2). Joseph of Arimathea was rich and feared the Lord (Matthew 27: 57; Luke 23:50-56). During Job's trial and tribulation, he got the bitter taste of poverty, yet he praised the name of God (Job 1:20-22). The poor window was in right standing with God (Luke 21: 1-4). The paralysed man was not only disabled but a sinner too (Matthew 9: 2). Neither poverty nor wealth defines who we are in Christ. Only the POWER and GRACE of God. Our position in Christ is not always based on what is seen with a naked eye. But, the state of our heart tells us more...

 A door cannot be available  to everyone unless its key is lost or its guard is away.  Once closed nobody opens it. A door stands firm and does not give-in to everything. A door obeys the instructions of its master. Whoever has its key, a door acknowledges.  Not every cargo or baggage enters unless it conforms to the door specifications of height and width.  Not every person should enter your life unless they respect the God you serve. The bible plainly puts it this way, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" 2 Cor 6:14. Shape up or ship out.  Jesus Christ is the door-way, the narrow way and the gateway to prosperity, righteousness, peace and joy. His way is undefiled, no one can spoil Jesus. He is Holy. One cannot change him. Unchangeable he is. Read Heb 13:8.  Even though he is open to sinners, sin cannot change him. He is ever re...

In the journey of faith as an Apostle of God,  I learnt a few profound matters:  1. That deliverance requires patience from both parties, the deliverer(man of God) and the delivered (demon possessed victim).    1 Thessalonians 5:14  says, 'We urge you, to encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, and  be patient with everyone' . For the deliverance to work, patience is required to be exercised to the afflicted. The deliverance task may appear like trouble to the man of God but it is not, after all Romans 12:12. says '..Be  patient in trouble, and keep on praying'. 2. Demons are good at defocusing the deliverer to buy time to remain in their victim. In Acts 16: 16-17 a demon possessed slave girl attempted to defocus Apostle Paul until he was exasperated and commanded the demon to leave the girl. 3. During the process of deliverance, the victim may become weary physically and must be given time to recuperate without necessarily giving demons time to reo...

 Sermon on good habits. Dear brothers and sisters, to be a good Christian, strive to learn and unlearn good and bad habits respectively. I mean be determined to acquire new ways of doing things repeatedly without offending God. Alternatively, drop out from your set of ways, bad manners. I mean  unlearn them.*1Thessalonians 5 v 12-22* encourages us to (1)honour our spiritual leaders. Develop a habit of respecting men and women of God despite their denomination or ministries.( 2) Care for others especially the weak and old. (3) be in attitude of prayer always- in good or bad season (4) Be sociable and joyful in all circumstances. May the Lord bless you as learn these good habits. Amen

 John 11:33..When Jesus saw Mary (sister of Lazarus) weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within Him, and he was deeply troubled.  There are circumstances that are eating you up. You are worried and deeply crying inside. You have shared your predicament with close relatives, they are also at pain, they are sympathizing with you over your situation, they gather with you during night vigils. It seems not working. They accompany you to the hospital, it seems not working, they accompany you to church but nothing seems changing. I have to tell you TODAY that your situation is not different from Mary and Martha's.  The Lord is seeing your grief, tears and depression.Jesus is seeing your tears, fear not.  Whatever is not working in your life, I am an apostle of God, send to let you know that the Holy Spirit is deeply troubled by your situation too. Deep anger is welling up in Him too. He cannot let the situation continue unabated. ...
