apostle AZ & friendz of Christ

 Walking uprightly in the statutes and ordnances of the Lord is a choice. A rare one for this generation. Short-cuts are a detriment to one's divine purpose. Ask Elisha's servant- Gehazi, Michal, and Judas Iscariot who fell. But Daniel, Zacharias, Paul and Mary upheld their breath and conquered. We too can choose the grace of Christ to walk blamelessly. Hallelujah!

 I dreamed meeting a man of God from the white garment sect, a Bishop. I generally was and still am skeptical about some of these people. They have soiled the gospel of Jesus Christ. Diluted it  with unfounded doctrines. However for this one, I drew closer to him and tested his authenticity to Christ. He too tested my calling. Initially he thought I was also one of those charlatan in Christ. As I neared him, I sensed in spirit that he was a bona-fide servant of God with greater anointing than mine. Thus, I submitted and accepted that he prayed for me. This act was like a magnet cowing to another magnet's field.  We started praying together and I was doing so in tongues. He exclaimed upon hearing and discovering who I was in Christ Jesus. He was happy. I spoke in tongues saying to him that 'I had laboured and followed the message of the cross at Calvary, the gospel of Jesus Christ. I have followed the syllabus genuinely. To this end, there was more to be done'. He then rel...

Have you ever heard a doorway complaining of friends and those who pass through it to get blessings? Or murmuring and speaking evil of hinges that keep it hooked for a routine task, to keep others moving? I have seen  people who do good to others and continue to do so without getting tired or wasted. They know in due season a blessing will be on their doorstep. Blessed is a heart that opens up to love and kindness and closes it's doors to terror and tyranny. Blessed is a heart that does not jealously compete with others, but cheerfully complements champions.  Have you not ever seen a maid cleaning a doorway? Is she the only one who passes through it? Those who bless you may not necessarily be the ones who benefit the most from you. Such is life. To the ones you give life, prepare to give it without expecting a direct reward from them. That way, you will live like a doorway: Giving a service and never complaining! Occupy your lane Sir or Madam. You are not an oscillator. Mira p...

  Easter Holiday or Palm Sunday or any other name. What difference does it make? The grand question is, who is at the center of the holiday?  Did he die and resurrect? If the answer is, YES. Then celebrate the holiday. If the answer is no, then wait till he convinces you that he rose from the dead.

Holy Spirit be my sentry tonight. Alone, I can't fight. Unless you give me might. Alone,  I don't have sight. Your are my sentry  The enemy is eying my pantry Deny him entry Holy Spirit guard my soul tonight My mouth, eyes and ears are your sentry posts tonight Guard my heart and put off the fight  The enemy is in my country Deny him entry Holy Spirit pick me up  And wash me up  For the Lord is coming to pick me up to the Father in heaven. Holy Spirit stay at the entrance of my heart, mouth and ears. Guard my soul with vigilance. Do not abandon these  sentry posts till the Lord comes to pick me up.

 Those who know their God will do exploits(Daniel 11:32) Knowing God makes you 'fully charged and explosive'. I have seen gadgets connected to a power source and charging. Once connected, the device begins to draw current and show signs of livelihood. This is completely the opposite of seeing a piece of idle dead wood. At least here, there is a sign of chargeability, connectivity and explosivity. If you acquaint yourself with the King of the Universe, what trouble can trouble you? What amount of sickness can destroy you? What burden can bury you alive ? Who can oppose your mission in Christ Jesus?  Knowing God Almighty is the beginning of a journey of familiarisation with all manners of exploits in the spiritual realm. Exploits riding on explosions against principalities and demons. Exploits to march on scorpions or dilute poison with your saliva and indirectly extract vitamins. Exploits to raid the enemy for opportunities once stolen. Do you know your God? Does he know you to...

 When I see your 'Amen', my faith is upgraded. I know the Amen is your  solemn ratification, an expression of your faith too or a hearty approval of our declarations and prayers.(Apostle AZ, 2022)

 Do you love God? I mean do you have passion for the work of God Almighty? Are you filled with genuine spirit for the word and prayer? If so, are you aware that there is a special reward awaiting those who have this burning desire for Jesus Christ. The reward is indescribable, unheard, unseen and cannot be fathomed. I can't wait to experience this manner of ecstasy. 1 Cor 2:9 But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that LOVE him. Begin to LOVE him for this promise. Pursue Jesus and resist the devil. Hallelujah 🙏 

God Almighty is sovereign. He requires nobody's approval for His actions. He is accountable to Himself. If one decides to boycott God and desert Him like the Prophet Jona, they will find Him wherever they go. Where can one go from His presence? If one succeeds in shutting Him off,  He remains God Almighty. He never runs out of followers. If He does,  He will create some from trees and stones (Luke 19:40). God does not need one's permission to either adopt a new child or ordain a new servant. Nor one's opinion for raising a foreigner, stranger, widow or poor person from a garbage dump. Whom God has ordained, why ask them where their mentor is, God is. John did and Jesus Christ rebuked Him ( Mark 9:38). Do not think you're the only one serving God. Elijah thought so too but God said, No. Do not believe that your church is the only living church.  Go get some water to help them swallow their pride! 

  So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 Fear , anxiety and bitterness are arrows thrown to our hearts by the devil. Once they are stuck in our hearts, they begin to displace peace, faith, hope and love. Again, these small arrows are poisonous to the core. Help yourself identify them before much damage is done to your spirit. Begin to meditate to dispel fear, anxiety, bitterness, doubt and sorrow. Three facets and fruits of the Holy Spirit that prayer can invite to undo the effects of such satanic arrows: Love, power and self-control( Read, 2 Timothy 1:7) Do not blame yourself  nor God Almighty, blame the enemy, Satan for your troubles. Pray and believe that God who once blessed you will see you through the rough patch. Count your blessings. Smile. It will soon be over. Know weeping endures the night but joy comes in the morning: Psalm 30:5. Above...

  Summary of Sunday Service- 15 May 2022-Sermon on grace Grace is unmerited favour of God. -We need grace because we were sinners, God could not be accessed by sinners (See Rom 3:23, Isaiah 59:2). The law  too could not perfect us.It was too hard (James 2:10)Our works could not appease God.(1John 4:9, Rom 3: 24-26) His Son Jesus Christ was a perfect atonement, ransom to cool down God. He was a perfect gift given to us freely that we did not work for (see Eph 2:8-9). Ndidzo nyasha dzacho, taizodziwanepi nyasha dzokunzi vana vaMwari? When you received salvation and became a child of God, you received grace. However, that grace has a potential to be multiplied to become abundant grace. Nyasha dzakawirikidzana dzakapetwa. How to trap grace-Kuteya nyasha . Mvura inofamba mumigero. Ukaenda kwakadzikira unoichera mvura. Nyasha dzinofambawo mushoko raMwari,  ukaenda kwariri, kwarinoparidzwa, unodzibata nyasha. The best trap for abundant grace is obedience and humility. Dzi...

Every leader ought to master the art of archery especially, when crafting strategies to keep an organisation afloat in a volatile business environment like Zimbabwe's. It seems St Georges College took this 'archery strategy' when they planned and released their financial plan for the second term of 2022.  Field archery sometimes is done in conditions of uncertainty (Zvikaramba, 2016). Conditions of uncertainty are those of chaos. In business chaos sometimes beckons. 'When shooting field archery, always consider how wind affects arrows. Wind can range from gentle, refreshing breezes to STRONG, unpredictable GUSTS. Learning to judge the speed and direction of wind and their effect on accuracy can keep arrows on course during windy conditions' (archery360.com) In business,  INFLATION can be likened to wind. Therefore, managers need to learn how to adjust and shoot accurately. This enhances business continuity especially, where organisations are caught between hard surf...

 John 20:17  Jesus said,  Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'' The Lord Jesus Christ  introduced Mary Magdalene to His father and God. She represents a pardoned sinner, a woman and a church. What attracted this grace was her genuine love for Christ. She sacrificed her time and effort for Christ to the extent of looking for Christ at the graveyard. Hers was a burning passion for things of the Spirit, hence could not hold her tears. When a church begins to scramble for spiritual items, Jesus will appear with a warehouse of them. When servants of God offer their hearts and minds to Jesus Christ, He will grant access to his Father and God. Mary did. Mary became a strong conduit of the good news gospel. She defied the odds, refused the narrative that women were not to be entrusted with matters of leadership. She became an agent of change. Remember Mary was an investor in Jesus' ministry .  Th...

 Walking in the public arena, I met a couple. The man seemed a familiar dude except the woman. I continued with my business then turned to clear my back. Then suddenly, I saw the woman removing her blouse in a feat showing demonic possession. Chaos begun. Real chaos. Whirlwind swept the arena consuming the unexpecting, turning everything upsidedown. I was dragged into the confusion and thought, 'had I known earlier, I could have departed'. However, I had to save myself from further embarrassment. The woman was now in complete charge of the stampede and chaos. Tossing people and hurling them against the ground at great speed using evil, strange powers.  Instantly, I called Jesus Christ. Suddenly, He came into me and for me. I started fighting back, rescuing people and reversing the damage. The woman noticed this and charged towards me. Before she could reach me, a dog came against me and I siezed it by the head, lifted it and struke it against the ground. Blood oozed from its m...

 Faith is like a gadget working by electricity, love. When love goes off,  faith ceases. (apostle AZ, 2022)

Then I was in the realm of the spirit. Demons where at it again. Trying to decieve me.  They came in the disguise of a person I knew and tried to trap me by  throwing something at me, very fast. However, the object drifted into water where a superior demon was. An encounter ensued as I was still trying to analyze the object and its position and who was hiding behind it. It was a bigger demon laying in ambush. The spirit in me told me to run and running seemed too late than calling the name Jesus. I called Jesus and  He appeared instantly. A din of explosion occured as Jesus blasted the superior demon together with the object. I never knew Jesus was a VERY HIGH EXPLOSIVE (VHE) Bomb.  Thank you Jesus a name above all names. Psalm 91:14 The LORD says, 'I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.'
