A time I failed to do something, what I learnt

 One day I was responsible for coordinating the marking and processing of examinations for our department at our university and we had a deadline of 2 weeks.Halfway through, one of the

lecturers fell sick and informed me to coordinate the taking over of the marking of his allocated scripts. I then agreed and approached some colleagues and they were reluctant to take over.

 I then failed to appraise my supervisor of this new challenge and we lost 2 days of marking. This meant, the incident  was going to affect the whole chain of results publication for the whole university. With 5 days remaining, I then individually approached lecturers and impressed upon them the seriousness of the matter and how my job was at stake including the reputation of the department. My colleagues and I managed to keep awake till midnight while marking those scripts. This put unnecessary strain on their workload including mine and I was to blame. 

Eventually, we managed to meet the deadline. I learnt that it is important to continuously inform supervisors of our challenges and not to procrastinate critical issues.

Apology to Prophet Magaya

On Day 2 of prayer and fasting, precisely, 3 January 2023. I was asleep then I found myself struggling with an injury to my legs. I could hardly walk as I would normally do. Walking was painful. Then a man came to give me assistance. He firstly gave me medicine like tablets and other expensive medical drugs and I was touched by the kind of love he showed me. He later indicated that the support had come from Prophet Magaya.  I wept and requested that the Prophet forgives me. The man could not understand why I would need forgiveness.

Then I told them that my spirit had secretly and silently resented the Prophet. To that effect, it was a sin against God Almighty. Therefore, I was kindly asking for forgiveness. One of the man understood my plight and quickly remarked: 'That's why Prophet Magaya had been blockin...

On the 8th of November 2025, following an all-night prayer along Royal Road with Apostle Eunar Guti of Forward in Faith, whilst asleep, the Lord spoke to me. During the prayer-night-session, I felt a strong burden to pray for the Lord's ministry, Friendz of Christ. In the morning, while asleep, God spoke after pressing on Him to speak regarding the Friendz of Christ Ministry.  In a dream, Apostle Eunar Guti came to me and I requested her to pray for my ministry. She began to pray in tongues and I joined her in this prayer. As we both prayed in tongues, she started to interpret my utterances. I was saying 'God I serve you and I am righteous and you are not speaking to me'. Despite these utterances, God , through the woman of God, remained silent. Time seemed running out and the woman of God would soon leave me to attend to other people. I persisted and shouted, 'G-o-d  A-n-s-w-e-r Me'. The intensity and noise of my shout was so terrifying that the place nearly collap...
