Zimbabwe WILL be SAVED!!!!!!!

This past weekend a historic thing took place , we had Joyce Meyer and Hillsong come to Zimbabwe for Joyce Meyer’s Festival of Life Conference. Joyce’s visit was not ordinary for many reasons, many popular televangelist have come to Zimbabwe but none have made as much impact as Joyce did. Joyce was received at the Airport by state officials and a government minister and then went Monomutapa Building, where she met the Vice President , the Prime Minister and other important officials from the inclusive government. When I analyse everything spiritually The reason why she had this favour is because she was on a national assignment, she had been sent by God on a mission, to bring the message of healing to Zimbabwe.

When I arrived at the Festival of Life Conference I was shocked to see the number of whites still live in Zimbabwe as most of them attend their own white churches and do not usually attend major conferences. Joyce Meyer’s coming did not only bring together black and white who have not gathered together to seek God’s face in a very long time but here I saw a beautiful picture of unity of the body of Christ in Zimbabwe. Pastors from different churches, in fact most of the main churches supported Joyce and sents their teams to help administrate at the conference and this again has not taken place in a long time , this time denominational barriers were yet again broken along with the racial barriers. Joyce called on the nation of Zimbabwe to walk in love and forgive each other and herself having chosen to walk a painful love walk, Joyce Meyer was the right person to bring the message of love and forgiveness to Zimbabwe because she survived years of abuse and rape for 16 years from her father and yet she chose to forgive him and showed him the love of God till he eventually came to know the Lord.

What I witnessed in my spirit was the fulfilment of the Cindy Jacob’s prophecy and part of it reads

I see there are strongholds of division in the church and the accuser of the brethren is active to discourage souls. An army of women with the Deborah anointing will march across the land. They will be like a net all over Zimbabwe with prayer. With a powerful anointing, the women first and the men following.I see ancient thrones coming down, reconciliation between black and white, the spirit of racism which goes back further down to the tribes .I will use Zimbabwe like a Jewel; she will help feed the world with produce, beautiful produce, beautiful produce. God will break the curse that came through civil war-the curse will be broken (I know nothing about Zimbabwe)

Since that prophecy was released in 1998 many women have gathered in small and large groups to intercede and waged a good warfare with the prophecy.I believe many women have wept and groaned even through the watches of the night for the strongholds to come down and then it finally happens in June 2010!!!

Joyce Meyer and Darlene Zchech could not have to Zimbabwe at a better timethan this because really it was the kairos moment. Joyce was received by an inclusive government-to think there was so much polarisation no one would have imagined Mugabe and Tsvangirai running the country together and yet its happening and Joyce was received by a united body of Christ, many local churches were involved in the planning of the conference.Indeed the prophecy is being fulfilled.Zimbabwe will be saved because we have a united body of Christ in the nation that is going to stand in the gap and bring healing to this glorious beautiful nation. As Darlene Zschech from Hillsong prophecied Isaiah 60 over Zimbabwe at the conference I also declare to Zimbabwe that :

(Isa 60:1) Arise, shine Zimbabwe; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

(Isa 60:2) For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

(Isa 60:3) And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

(Isa 60:4) Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

(Isa 60:5) Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

(Isa 60:6) The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.

(Isa 60:7) All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

(Isa 60:8) Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

(Isa 60:9) Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

(Isa 60:10) And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

(Isa 60:11) Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.

(Isa 60:12) For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

(Isa 60:13) The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

(Isa 60:14) The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

(Isa 60:15) Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.

(Isa 60:16) Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

(Isa 60:17) For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.

(Isa 60:18) Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

(Isa 60:19) The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

(Isa 60:20) Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

(Isa 60:21) Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

(Isa 60:22) A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

SIX THINGS ……….That you may not know about me…

1. I love reading….
Once I get hold of a good book I can read through the night and forget that my body needs to rest. I started reading the Ladybird books and Enid Blyton when I was a little girl .I never seemed to be able to put them books down…Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Little Women, Lorna Doone, What Katy did…I could go on coz I still remember them all .Then I discovered the bible and that altered the course of my life… When Norma Nyandoro-Nkomo my literature teacher introduced me to William Shakespeare I fell in love with his plots..His verse and yes I fell in love with Antonius from Julius Caesar (His famous speech "Friends, Romans, Countrymen lend me your ears ...I come to bury Caesar and not to praise him"...so I spent my time in the library reading "The Complete Works Of Shakespeare" because no one was allowed to take it home or the dictionary because I wanted to improve my vocabulary...homework was of no consequence to me all I wanted was a good book to read.
Now give me any books by Maya Angelou, John Grisham, Danielle Steele, C.S.Lewis, Jane Austen and any inspiring magazines, company annual reports..…Anything well written and expanding my knowledge I have to read.

2. Love is my highest & deepest desire...
In every form and fashion. I want to experience it in all the ways it was created to be. I want to love a child that is my own. I want to love a stranger. I want to love my spouse. I want to love a friend.
Most importantly I want to love God. This is one of the reasons why I cling to the Creator of my beliefs so tightly...because I've tried to love without Him, and I failed. I tried other ways, and I failed. The only way that I can totally experience and give love is to know its Source. Including His Son: Jesus Christ (because He exemplified Love in its essence). So you see, this isn't just a religion to me, it's a relationship.

3. I want lots of children...
I love kids on a level that's scary. Every time I see a child under 10, I go "Awww" to myself, and I feel a flutter inside my chest. It feels like love, almost. And that's weird because I don't have any kids of my own yet. It isn't that I think babies are adorable or innocent, but it's because of what they represent in the world. All you need is one look into the eyes of a brand new baby and then you know Perfection. There are many things that are trying to kill the potential of our children, and no one seems to sense the unspoken urgency that I do. So many children growing up before their time and missing out on their childhood.Plus, one of the highest privileges a woman can have is to be a mother (in my opinion).

4. I am insightful. ..
I say this not in boast, but I can tell when something’s wrong with people I barely know. Sometimes, I sense dishonesty and "evil". I have "bad feelings" that have usually been correct. At times I listen to this insight, and there are times when I ignore them much to my own detriment…. Then at times strangers just start pouring out their pain and issues to me and I do the best I can if it means just listening and giving counsel when I can.

5. I love to laugh...
Any type of humour is okay with me...even the style that is not too controversial. To a certain extent humor is only inappropriate within the context of its environment. (i.e.: You don't make blonde jokes at Rotary meeting.) As for my own sense of humour…its crazy….I laugh out really loudly sometimes to the point of tears and I like to end it the Zimbabwean way.(kurova maoko)!!!! I make people laugh…well I try because I struggle with taking things, most of all myself, too seriously

6. I love sport...
I love boating and any kind of sports, whether playing or watching as spectator…I am a loyal Man United fan and I fantasize about having tea with Sir Alex Fergusson and Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs after watching a game at Old Trafford. I am crazy about cricket …I used to do the scorebooks in junior school and had no qualms about traveling in a bus full of boys and I enjoyed drawing the golden duck for those batsmen who failed to hit a single run… Then hockey was and still is a passion...I played some really good hockey and hope to start playing again.
I love swimming and swam competitively in High School and yes I used to row...I love water, I love tubing/sea biscuiting and I love boats….

Contending for my faith....

Jud 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints

Contend-To strive in opposition or against difficulties, maintain or assert

For the first time in my life I have finally gotten to understand where Jude was coming from when he wrote the letter in the bible to exhort them to contend for the faith. He actually says that it was it was needful that he does so. Indeed if I had read this scripture in the early days of being a Christian and grasped what Jude was trying to say I would not be where I am now. I have always encouraged those who were about to lose their faith,I have given counsel andI have interceded but now its me who is fighting to keep my hope alive. In this season I have even considered giving up on my faith in God, I have found myself questioning God’s faithfulness as I have experienced attacks from the enermy in almost every sphere of my life. I have takes some hard knocks from the devil that have left me wondering if there is a just God and yet he is more than a just, justice and righteousness are the foundations of His throne. I came across this poem on the net and it best describes where I am at…


Fighting to keep fighting
Trying to survive
Inside I feel I'm dying
One memory at a time.

Afraid, alone, despairing
Feeling so out of control
Inside my heart not caring
My heart no longer whole

But now my heart is troubled.
I struggle to survive.
The intensity has doubled.
They want to take my life.

Not just my life, my story...
A help for those in need.
But God will get the glory
His victory I will seek

I feel it's coming soon...
I'm weary in this fight.
Victory I will pursue...
Against them I will fight.

I must resist the need
To take my life forever
The Holy Spirit heed
Can we get through together?

All I need is trust in God
To heal me from within
My faith in God just seems so small...
Can God take away this pain?

What if I do let go
And give it all to Him?
Will true peace I know?
Will He take it all on Him?

But these hurts, they seem too big
For even God to take away.
Every moment that I live
Within my heart they stay

I hear that He forgives me
I struggle every day
I accept the gift He gave me
as God takes my hurts away

I am attending an Easter Camp with the theme 'unleashed'
I am looking forward to it with
everything in me because I am desperate for a fresh move and personal
revival in my own life, I am in a season where I am in combat mode
contending for my own faith which has come under attack on all angles
(social,spiritual, work, financial) and I am battling to stay afloat
But, but God daily gives me strength each day to to get by and somehow
encourages me to not lose heart .... Its a difficult place to be for
me to be...even more because I have been spirit filled for 10 years
since high school and yet here I am struggling to believe God to be
faithful to fulfill the prophecies that were made over my life by the
wonderful and powerful instructors and mentors in my life and
prophecies He personally spoke to me about. Now I am struggling to
trust the God who told me to leave a very well paying good job and
turn down even better paying jobs because I was not satisfied and
wanted to serve Him in full time ministry...so with everything in me I am
crying out to Him that Lord light the fire again,dont let my love grow
cold, visit me and touch me again and unleash my destiny at this
Easter at Camp Unleashed.

My Purpose in God is Stronger than my Pain!!!!

I am still riding on a crest of a wave from the prayer conference that was held at our church at the end of January.God came through in a mighty way.At the prayer conference ,Pastor Bonnie, our Co- Senior Pastor of Celebrate International(check www.celebrate.org) who ministers in the office of a Prophet shared something so profound that has altered the course of my life. She kept emphasizing that

Your purpose is stronger than your pain.

It suddenly dawned on me that God’s purpose in my life takes precedence over my pain. Pastor Bonnie gave examples of pain that we don’t know about that she has faced even as she continues to minister and about Senior Pastor Tom’s most recent experience when the stage props fell on him while he was praying in the back and he almost broke his neck, but he got up and went on to preach even though he was in such pain and had to see a doctor immediately after that…..tears rolled down my cheeks when I thought of what my local Pastors at Celebration Braeside church , Pastor Stash and Pastor Samantha face and yet they still do what God sent them to do despite..and then I thought to myself:

.. whatever painful stuff I have faced at Braeside and will face at Braeside and wherever God will send me I haven’t yet suffered to the extent of my spiritual parents.

So I am determined more than ever to do what God sent me to do at Braeside and wherever God leads regardless of whatever the enermy throws at me, regardless of whetherI am misunderstood, or maligned or whether aspersions are cast on my character
…because My Purpose Is Stronger Than My Pain!
I no longer live, Tafadzwa and her feelings are dead..Christ lives now and yes Christ in me is the Hope of Glory!!

I love this God who is my everything my El Shaddai, I love Yahweh with everything I have and I will go where He tells me to go and do what He tells me to do even if there is pain , I will obey Him because His purpose is greater than my pain!!!! God my deliverer will always give me a way to escape. I will continue to press on, persevere and through endurance will gain my life

He kept me hidden for this hour!!!!!

When I first experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit in 2000 I was still in high school and had so many prophecies spoken over my life by some prominent men and women of God at the many conferences and youth camps that I attended, I was so excited because I thought that everything that God had spoken to me would happen immediately. I was young, only in high school and already speaking in tongues and ready and raring to go. Little did I know that I would have to go through a process of preparation that would involve dying to my selfish dreams and ambition , When they prophecied that I would be an unshakeable woman of God I did not know that I’d be proven to be unshakeable through the amount of tragedy that I would face. I always found funeral cars terrifying especially the ones that carried the dead body but at the age of twenty I found myself riding in one to escort my little nephew’s body. I did not know that being unshakeable would result in finding myself in a mortuary/morgue at the age of twenty three and identifying and signing for my older sister’s body, I had no idea that three years later I would lose my dad before I even turned 25 and that I'd lose my mum exactly a year after my dad and in the same month!!! I didn’t know that I’d rebel against God for a season and not even want to hear the gospel preached to me. All I knew when I was baptized in the Holy Spirit was that I’d do great exploits and be mightly used by God but I did not know that I'd have to go through painful tests before God’s promise would be fulfilled and I didn’t know that some of the tests would involve me being hurt, rejected and betrayed by fellow spirit filled Christians..I did not know that some of the trials and tests I would face would result in me contemplating suicide. All I had expected were victories and people testifying that I was a woman of God; I didn’t know there would be a season when I would cry every day and every night and wish to die. I was young when the Holy Spirit came into my life, I was zealous and it seemed every church I visited or every Youth camp or whatever church gathering attended I would be singled out by the main speaker and have a prophetic word spoken into my life so I was ready to take on the devil and yet I didn’t know that I would have to deal with childhood issues that had been suppressed in my memory of rape at the age of 4, sexual abuse , rejection of my sex at birth by my mum, all I knew was that God had chosen me and I was ready to go to the frontlines. I was not yet aware that that I did not yet have what it took to step into God’s perfect plan...

And now in 2010 though I have not yet tapped into the fullness of my calling, I understand the difference between ambition and ministry and it is this: ministry is a call, not to lead but to die. Luke 9:23 carrying a cross is the only way to die to the ambition that hinders .Ambition defines ‘achievement’ as ‘well known woman or man of God and receiving praise and accolades from man’ God on the other hand says success is being Christlike.I remember zealously taking on the responsibility of leading a Youth group when I was in the Marondera Vineyard Church.I was so confident, Costa Mitchell the Overseer of The Association of the Vineyard Churches in Africa had prophecied over me and taken me under his wings after we met at Vineyard Bible Institute tutorials so there was no way I was going to fail at running the Youth Group I thought to myself. The Youth Group ran well for a while, I introduced new things, developed a relationship with the Vineyard Youth from Harare and organised outreaches to local schools like Peterhouse then all of a sudden the young people just stopped coming, I faced a lot of criticism from amongst those I led and after seeking advise from the church elders I was advised to shut the group down. My heart broke and I felt like I had failed God and yet i had been so faithful and zealous.It was then that I came to realise that I was trying to live my christian life and run the Youth Ministry on my own resource, through self effort.Now I see that God often allows failure to point us to a crucial truth:that we cannot live the Christian life on our own.

In order to develop the character of Christ in us, God provides opportunities for us to be transformed, opportunities for us to take the cross. Often these challenges take the form of offense. I am learning through a painful experience of rejection in this season that when offence comes I have the choice to pick up one of two things as illustrated by a well known evangelist. I pick up either the offense or the cross. You will know you have chosen the offense if when you look at the past, you remember clearly how people hurt you than how God delivered you...

God the Father allows offences to come because His goal for you is to become Christlike and not for you to become a Pastor, Cell leader or a Youth leader. He wants us to learn to forgive offences and use them as an opportunity to grow in love .The cross represent the perfection of love. Someone said if you don’t carry your cross you will lose your love. Only those who carry the cross will find true fulfillment.

I haven’t arrived yet, God is not quite finished with my heart but my ambition is to be Christlike ..that people will see Jesus in me and that can only be attained if I pick up my cross and leave offence and forgive those who hurt me.

Now I ask God why did the process have to be so long, I was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues 10 years ago in High School and yet I have not really seen the fulfilment and manifestation of all the prophecies that were spoken into my life and His reply to me was

Isa 49:2 He made my tongue like a sharp sword and hid me in the palm of his hand. He made me like a sharpened arrow and hid me in his quiver.
Isa 49:3 He said to me, "You are my servant Taffy. I will display my glory through you."
Isa 49:4 But I said, "I have worked hard for nothing. I have used my strength, but I didn't accomplish anything. Yet, certainly my case is in the LORD'S hands, and my reward is with my God.

Out of the habitation of these years past and out of the dust of those years shall arise one new woman, the woman of power, a woman who is formed in the likeness of Jesus Christ-Tafadzwa Lillian Gotora --

His Glory in me shall be revealed.

As 2009 draws to an end i am sad and in so much pain and yet there is so much exciting stuff that God has for me in 2010, I have always yearned to be in church but now I find that I have to push myself to go to church because of all the aspersions that have been cast on my character regarding an undefined relationship that had no boundaries. JT is taking out his grief on me and a lot has been said by people and it hurts , I mean I feel naked...exposed, like really he has done damage to me and yet I have been there for him now, he acts like we were never close...i have been accused of stalking him and yet I never went to his place ,he came to mine lotsa times but how do I get through this humiliation?..…I just stand on God’s word and promise that I can choose to make this difficult circumstance a stepping stone to the manifestation of His grace and glory. And really my passion is that my life would glorify His name. I refuse to let the enemy use this situation to neutralize me. …We talk about God’s glory but no one mentions the process to glory…the protocol to glory is suffering…as

1Pe 1:11 They tried to find out when the time would be and how it would come. This was the time to which Christ's Spirit in them was pointing, in predicting the sufferings that Christ would have to endure and the glory that would follow.

1Pe 4:13 Rather be glad that you are sharing Christ's sufferings, so that you may be full of joy when his glory is revealed

Rom 8:18 I consider that what we suffer at this present time cannot be compared at all with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.


Its in black and white, the glory is revealed after we have gone through some form of suffering for Christ. So I just try to visualize the glory that will be revealed in me after this storm is over, how my heart will have been dealt with and more Christlike, how I will have more compassion on those suffering rejection, how I will be able to touch many lives with my testimony, How I will radiate the love and life of Christ, that alone gives me the courage to persevere .Funny thing is God spoke to me when He sent me to Braeside Church in April 2009 and I wrote it down in my journal in March I think:

Tafadzwa I want you to love my children at Braeside.some of them will hurt you and some won’t understand you but just love them. From now on you will see them as I see them, I see them as precious. Even the mean ones you will clearly see and perceive their pain. You will see, your level of discernment has increased so you will see their need even in their cruel intentions. You are going to hate no man, you will just love them, even the ones who have wounded you and pierced you, you will love them, you will realize and say ‘what you mearnt to hurt me God mearnt for my good and to save the lives of many

.

I am reading a book called "Yesterday I cried" written by some new age person called Iyanla Vanzant and am finding it useful, I just change what she refers as spirit to Holy Spirit and whole lot of other terms that they use so that they agree with scripture.. I am learning so much and really am learning that some of the things that have been happening to me I played a part things like:

Doing things I believe people will make people like me
Ignoring the pain instead of losing a familiar situation
Needing to be liked to my own self detriment
Asking other people what they think I should do
Being afraid of myself
Not trusting myself
Not valuing myself
Putting everyone else’ need above mine
Not asking for help when I need it

I just want and have a need to be loved and yet it starts with me, I have to relearn how to love myself and surround myself with people who love me and celebrate me. I celebrated Xmas just the way my late dad taught me, went to church for the Xmas service ...Dad would always make sure that we all attend Church together on Christmas,mum was not always there because as a nurse sometimes she would be on duty at the Hospital so I did what my late folks would have wanted and celebrated their memories on Christmas day.God really ministered His love to me and I was encouraged.Somehow I know that whatever is going on in my life right now will count for something,I Know I will be okay because God has a lot in store for me including someone who is going to love me and celebrate who I am ,someone who will show his love for me in public,someone who will pray for me and with me and protect and cover me...2010 HERE I COME.!!!!

FOR YOU O LORD ARE A SHIELD FOR ME,MY GLORY AND YOU LIFT MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR LIFTING MY HEAD

Stability at last...

28 September 2009



I I have wept so much and worshipped so much, the fallow ground of my heart has been ploughed up and my love for God and His people has taken a depth and significance unparalled in my life. I am standing on a new foundation of maturity and responsibility.Stability is something that has seemed to evade me at critical times, but my continuing to seek God’s face has brought and will continue to bring me to a place of divine stability.Not a stability based on my emotions or finances, but a strong endurance based on my faith and relationship with God.


I have been in a rather long season that has caused me to redefine my life in every aspect .My priorities have been rearranged, my relationships have taken on new meanings, some closer and some more distant.I spent a good part of my Christian walk without root/stem but now my roots have grown deeper and produced fruit.It has been a stretch, but the fruit continue to be maturity and stability

This is my hour

Last May i celebrated my spiritual birthday !!!!! I rededicated my
life to the Lord
on the 21st of May 2000 and was received the baptism of the Holy
Spirit two days later on the 23rd of May 2000. Immediately after this
Holy Ghost Baptism , My Scripture Union teacher prophecied to me that
I had received the Holy Spirit in a powerful way and had received the
gift of Intercession and would move mountains. She also said that my
family would change. A month later another Intercessor reconfirmed
that I had indeed received the ministry of Intercession. I took this
seriously I read every book I could lay hands on about Intercession
and attended the Zimbabwe National day of prayer on the 25th of May
2000 just a few days after being Spirit filled because I was excited
about God and the ministry of Intercession that I had received. I
also came to know about the Cindy Jacobs Prophecy in May 2000 and now
9 years later I am serving and interceeding for the women who brought
the prophecy to Zimbabwe –Pastor Nicky and Pastor Priscah, I have come
full circle indeed. I gained all the riches in May…May is a month of
significance , I may have lost my siblings and my parents in May but I
gained the Holy Spirit who is my Teacher, Comforter, Advocate,
Intercessor, My Helper , My everything. I thank God that May is no
longer a month of mourning and loss for me but a month of gain,
fruitfulness and restoration. As I celebrate the 9th year of
fellowship with the Holy Spirit this month I am excited coz 9 is the
number of fruitfulness and multiplication. I know something
significant is about to take place.

Indeed something siginficant did take place last May. So much impartation took place and God elevated me in so many ways i am in awe. its so significant that we had our annual conference in may , the month I celebrate my Holy Ghost baptism annivesary. Since then I heard God loudly tell me that my life is not my own. Back then my life was so self -focused but its all about Jesus- the author and finisher of my faith.

9 years ago, I was a overzealous high schooler speaking in tongues and thinking I had arrived but now I see that my ministry is only starting to take place now ..This season I am have been right now was a season of separation. This is the season where God is separating me or work that He has been preparing me for all my life. Life has thrown a lot at me but God kept me standing because He had a plan and a purpose for me. He also was purifying my heart.

God had also been exposing wrong attitudes and issues of my own heart and ouch the process is painful but I know that God will always perfect that which concerns me so I trust Him with my heart...I am excited that God kept me hidden and has been preparing me for this Hour..This is my hour!!!!!!!

Finally In the flow of my destiny!!!!!!

I have been working for my church for the past 2 moths and loving it although they have been some difficult times but I just remind myself that I am working for God’s purpose and not man and that keeps me going. I turned down a lucrative offer in a secular job and listened to what God wants from me. I am giving a year to work in the ministry and from there on I intend to focus on launching my business and work on the book I am planning to write. Its not all making sense at the moment but I trust in God and I know He orders my footsteps. My friends and family do not understand why I am working in the ministry right now and they even thought I was going mad when I took three months off from work to seek God’s face….but hey even Jesus’ natural family thought he was going mad in Mark 3:21

God has also totally cut me off from many relationships, only those that I know my destiny is tied to have remained, even some close relationships have died on their own. Some of those friends that I knew had no clue or understood where God wants to take me I had to intentionally cut off even though it was painful. When the eagle is about to be renewed they have to pluck out their own feathers even though it’s a very painful process but they persevere because they want new ones…I want to be renewed so I with the help of the Holy Spirit plucked off feather/relationships that were not building me. Being a socialite this season has been difficult because I have been totally cut off, the only people that have been speaking into my life are those that are my mentors.

Although I know that I have a Pastoral calling I also know that God has called me to be an influential entrepreneur/businesswoman so that I can be a conduit of God’s wealth and blessings and be able to fund the gospel and then of course I am also called to be an inspirational writer, I am just not sure of the order, whether or not I am going to become a lay pastor before becoming a businesswoman and writer I have no clue, All I know is that I am finally in the flow of my destiny!!!!!!!!

God has been weaning me from the dependency on my support systems; He has broken me away from needing the approval of my generation, taken me through controversy until I learn to stand on my own two feet. He has isolated me so that He can integrate me into His divine purpose for my life. I know God has been taking me through loneliness to prove me and now He is releasing me into my destiny….

27 February 2009

I am at that stage where I am holding onto Christ with everything I have.I have reached the end of my resource.God spoke clearly to me and asked me to leave work and give him the last quarter of 2008.I had the most amazing times getting to know Him and bask in His presence.There was also such a grace for provision .He took care of me as I took care of his business.

The plan was to go back to work in January 2009, but God then went on to ask me for January as my First Fruits to Him. I listened and gave Him January and even got offered 2 jobs.Then the delays started…the secular job which I had been told that I had got the job , they were no telling me that they were happy with me but still felt that I should go on a one week trial first in order for them to decide between me and another job applicant.Then the job at church, I had impressed them at the interview but they were failing to get hold of me till they were left with no choice but to find someone else even though they are promising that they still want me to work in the ministry.

Maybe God you have closed the tap on resources in Zimbabwe because you want me to go down South.There is seemingly so much uncertainity about my welfare, I am looking to you God coz I need accommodation/shelter and I need food. I am your responsibility and not anybody else’s and I do not want to be a burden on anyone in these tough times.

Michael Phelps the Olympics swimmer and gold medal record breaker who broke the 1972 gold medal record of 7, said he never set out to win 8 gold metals in 2008 but just set out to do his best.His secret lay in the fact that He practiced every Sunday.This means that as he stands, ready to dive amidst all his competitors , He stands there 52 times more trained then them.

Although I may appear as someone who doesn’t know what they want or where they are going,someone who has no stability, Deep down in my heart I know that I have a firm foundation , I know that God has strengthened and enriched my inner man through the times I have fellowshipped with Him in this season. As I stand here I know I have been placed in my position and have received authority and direction. I am rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Things are not what they seem.The current situation may be contradictory to what God said but the fact is that I am favoured.I have stability. Thank you Lord that this is my year of manifestation .

Its been two weeks since I quit my job and yes the one thing I miss most about my old job is the unlimited internet access.I can't blog as often as I used but have said to myself I will dedicate at least an hour every week so that I don'y lose touch with my creativity. I also set myself to go on a twenty one day fast since the first of October and to my surprise this fast instead of making me feel anointed and great has instead been bringing to light areas that are not aligned to God's will, I have learnt with shame how I had wrong motives and attitudes that did not bring glory to God and am glad that God's grace is sufficient and in these weakness His power is made stronger. I am still going ahead with the fast and who knows what else He is gonna expose in me but I choose to make myself pliable , Have your way Holy Spirit.

I felt a bit low yesterday and the enermy was trying to make me regret leaving my job and almost lost my peace than I remembered whose voice told me to step out of the boat. I am serving the Women's Ministry Pastor in her agri-business and though there is no salary I know that I am sowing into fertile ground and thank God for her because she has become like a mother to me. '

The issue of my singleness continues to be a daily battle but I just take comfort that God knows my end, He knows the man who is right for me and even though its not easy to wait, God does make everything beautiful in His time.

I do not know how my bills will be paid and do not have the full picture of what God is doing in me but I Know whom I have believed and that He will bring to completion the work that HE has started in me

ZEAL FOR THE LORD

In our bible reading programme in Proverbs, one particular verse struck me because it contained a big word 'ZEAL

'Proverbs 23:17"Do not let your heart envy sinners,but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD"

We need to have an understanding of what it means to be zealous for the Lord, to be radically passionate about the things of God and His Holiness. We need to be zealous for God's honour as Phineas the Priest was..in Numbers chapter 25:

"Then an Israelite man brought to his family a Midianite woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 7 When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear in his hand 8 and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear through both of them—through the Israelite and into the woman's body. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped; 9 but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000. 10 The LORD said to Moses, 11 "Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites; for he was as zealous as I am for my honor among them, so that in my zeal I did not put an end to them. 12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him. 13 He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he was zealous for the honor of his God and made atonement for the Israelites."

Another example of the zeal of God was our very own Saviour when he took a whip and overthrew the tables and money and drove out the animals and traders from the temple in the second chapter of John..andJohn 2:17 says that at that time the disciples got a revelation ofwhat being consumed by the zeal for God's house meant and they also got the revelation of the fulfilment of God's word that had been spoken by the Psalmist.

John2:17- 17 "His disciples remembered that it is written: "Zeal foryour house will consume me"

The scripture that they recalled was actually Psalm 69:9. People I could go on with examples of what it to be zealous but the last example I have is King David who realized that the Israelites before him had not really possessed all the land that God had given them, instead they had actually grown comfortable with having theJebusites around and were not doing anything to possess their land which was in the hand of the Jebusites but King David was zealous to possess the land for God and extend the Lord's dominion!!! 2 Samuel Chapter 5:

"6 The king and his men marched to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites,who lived there. The Jebusites said to David, "You will not get inhere; even the blind and the lame can ward you off." They thought,"David cannot get in here." 7 Nevertheless, David captured the
fortress of Zion, the City of David.
8 On that day, David said, "Anyone who conquers the Jebusites will have to use the water shaft [a] to reach those 'lame and blind' who are David's enemies. [b] " That is why they say, "The 'blind and lame'will not enter the palace."
9 David then took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built up the area around it, from the supporting terraces[c] inward. 10 And he became more and more powerful, because the LORD God Almighty was with him"

The very city that David possessed from the Jebusite became the very place of worship-Jerusalem where the Lord's temple was built. I once came across this phrase and agree that "How often territory that was once held by the enermy becomes the site of our highest worship" If we are zealous for God's honour in driving out certain habits and friends from our lives and present our bodies which are now temples of theHoly Spirits as a living sacrifice will that not be a place of our highest worship?

We really need to be zealous people, we need to be zealous about our relationship with God and we need to be zealous in serving for God. Increase the amount of time you spend in the prayer closet and in the word, find an area in your local church where you can serve. Are you mentoring a younger person and also getting mentored by an older person? Are you accountable to a small group of peers? . How zealous are you to take dominion in your sphere of influence in order to extend the Kingdom of God? I could go on ..but you know what you have to do. As for me I want to be consumed,totally consumed by the zeal of God like Jesus, David, and Phinehasthe priest were what about you?

R.I.P Grandma

My Grandma and I when I was still a babyOn the 10th of September 2008 my paternal grandmother Susan Gotora passed on at twelve midnight...The amazing thing is about 3 or 4 hours before I had been praying and crying out to God that He fulfill the prophetic words that I'd hate no one and and love everyman woulcd come to pass because I still had bitterness towards certain people and one of those people was my grandmother.. I am at peace because by the time my grandmother passed away about 4 hours after my prayers and tears I had released her and forgiven her but still I wish I had gotten a chance to talk to her and hear her out

R.I.P Gran. I am sorry I never gave you a chance to explain things and I am sorry I wouldn't come and see you when you asked me to, when you asked me then I was not yet ready to see you but now I had arrived at a place where I wanted us to talk. However I had forgiven you for not coming to visit my mum on her deathbed and for not acknowledging my mum even after she looked after your son (my dad) when he became bankrupt, I had forgiven you for all the things you did and said that hurt me and my brother and our late mother.I had released you Ambuya and was planning to visit you this December..Fambai Zvakanaka ambuya. You gave life to my dad and raised him to be the great man that he was, I honour you for that and want you to know that I did love you.You were my flesh and blood. I know you are in a better place and are happily reunited with your favourite son (my dad)

My main goal and Passion...

10[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [[b]which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope]
11That if possible I may attain to the [[c]spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body].

12Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own.
13I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,14I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.

15So let those [of us] who are spiritually mature and full-grown have this mind and hold these convictions; and if in any respect you have a different attitude of mind, God will make that clear to you also.16Only let us hold true to what we have already attained and walk and order our lives by that.

Taken from Phillipians Chapter 3, Amplified Version

New Era for Taffy

Today is not only a historic day for Zimbabwe but a historic day and the dawn of a new era in my life too. Today I quit my job ...right I am just serving my notice period, I have been thinking about it for a while and have been so dissatisfied with my working conditions and so today I quit. Part of the reason I quit was because I have been making my job look like its what sustains me and yet it is the Lord. Its a bit scary and yet I feel such a peace about. I will use this time of unemployement to volunteer at church and also to study and develop my business plans since I am an entreprenuer in the making...This is the time to start researching and writing my business proposals and talking to the right people and getting mentored by those who have also taken a leap and gone into business not knowing where God was leading them but just trusting in God's voice.. I have hearkened God's voice telling me to walk on the water and I am going to do just that. When God told Peter to walk on the water, God was distinguishing Peter from the other disciples since it was to Peter that God would give the keys...no other disciple walked on water but Peter did... It was Peter alone who had a revelation of who Jesus was
Matthew 16:16 "And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

So my eyes are set on my Saviour and I am walking on water because He said I can....

Dawn of a new era in Zimbabwe

Today is a historic day for Zimbabwe, The dawn of a new era in Zimbabwe ….Our two political leaders Morgan Tsvangirai and Robert Mugabe signed a power sharing deal to solve the political and economic crisis in Zimbabwe. It was spoken in 1998 through Cindy Jacobs prophecy….that there would be reconciliation in Zimbabwe and that a treaty would be signed….so here it Amos 3:7 “Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.”

I am so happy to see the fulfillment of God’s word over out beautiful land Zimbabwe all I can do is sing Henry Olonga’s song over and over right now because I am ecstatic!!!! Some people may say Morgan Tsvanngirai was the winner of the election and therefore should have all the powers but I still say due to the polarisation , It would never have worked to have one party rule the other.

So I continue to sing this song:

“This land our land is our Zimbabwe
A land of peace for you and me
Once born in pain and segregation
But now we live in harmony
CHORUS
Now flies the flag our nations glory
We live with pride inside our hearts
As we all stand to build our nation
This our land, our Zimbabwe

2. Though I may go to distant borders
My heart will yearn for this my home
For time and space may separate us
And yet she holds my heart alone
Now flies the flag my nations glory
I'll live with pride inside my heart
I'll make a stand to build this nation
This my land my Zimbabwe

BRIDGE
We've been through it all
We've had our days we've had our falls
Now the time has come,for us to stand
To stand as one

3. The night has gone and with the morning
Come rays of hope that lead us on
So we will strive to give our children
A brighter day where they belong”

Taking My Quantum Leap

I was attending my cousin's wedding on Friday and having a grand time with friends and cousins but I just knew I had to leave the wedding and go to the all night prayer vigil and It was not an easy choice brothers and sisters, the flesh wanted to hang out with family and friends but I had an appointment with Destiny and so I left the wedding and got to the All night just before 12 and God showed up, and you know the deal when God moves He speaks. There was a word and a prophetic spontaneous song that spoke of God resurrecting dreams and indeed many dreams were resurrected and new dreams given !!! I am sure many of those who were at the all night will testify.

My dream is to become and entrepreneur as I know I am called to be a conduit of God's wealth and there to generate money for the gospel and the one avenue I intend to take is agriculture!!! A couple years ago I worked for Mitchell and Mitchell Fresh export who farm, process and pack fresh veggies to British supermarkets chains like Sainsbury, waittrose and tescoe etc who have since stopped. I was there for two years and even though I was a secretary I took an interest and aligned myself with the vision of the company, other secretaries just answered calls, I studies the whole production process, I knew all the 400 lines that were packed by name and by ingredient!! And soon the senior managers would even let me run production and trusted me to liase with the customers and the the freight dept, I was so passionate about it that I was now in a place where the managers would allow me to take visitors around the farm and packhouse because I knew it all and realized that's there was wealth in farming!!! I left M&M two years ago but I had kinda shelved the dream and then God did it, He allowed me to dream again…and this morning at morning prayer…people where praying for the agriculture domain and the export policies which are presently not favourable to the farmer/exporter, So there was a call for those in agriculture and export to come up for prayer and I was stirred to step up and I did. It didn't make sense for me to step up since in the natural I am not farming at the moment but we all know God calls things that are not as though they were and I visualized myself as an agricultural exporter so I went up for prayer. I was then reminded of the word we have been getting about taking quantum leaps and then I got into the office and in my inbox was an article by David Van Koevering on Quantum leaps..I would like to quote the part that ministered to me so here goes:

"Seeing Your Future as God Sees it is Quantum Faith- By David Van Koevering Hebrews 11:1 says that faith is the substance. It is the invisible substance from which your physical world was and is being created by Jesus Christ. Annette Capps said, "God used faith substance and word energy to create the universe. He spoke and the vibration (sound) of His words released (caused) the substance that became the stars and planets." God's future potential and all the promised possibilities constantly flow through the Holy Spirit into you. Noise on my circuit limits my ability to hear His voice and see His future for me. The noise in my inner man is not always sin; my noise can be my gift, my ability, even that special way I am put together and wired. I can become so busy- noisy that I am out of phase with God's voice and vision for me. As I get quiet and become still, I can hear and see what God's future is for my reality. Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still and know that I am God..." My future comes from God's possibilities and potential. I pop God's qwiffs and my reality is! What an awesome quantum leap!"

This article confirms what our senior Pastor Tom has been sharing about visualizing, vocalizing and then vibrating!!!!! When I joined the agricultural exporters who went up for prayer this morning I visualized myself as one too!!! So this is just an encouragement to you all that dream BIG, visualise and vibrate …Take that quantam leap…

David Van Koevering goes on to say in his article: "Here is a quantum leap for someone: If you know something coming from your future, let's say a vision, a revelation, a desire, or even a creative idea, that information has to move faster than the speed of light to reach you. You can and must know your God-given assignment. Information flowing from your future possibilities is waiting for you to see - to observe - and call those things that are not as though they are. The quantum leap of knowing your purpose and assignment is waiting as a God qwiff for you to pop!"

Just to elaborate on what popping God's qwiff means read except below:

"1 Corinthians 1:28 says, "...God (has) chosen...things which are not (the invisible) to bring to nought things which are (the visible)." This Scripture makes sense only when you understand it at the atomic and subatomic level. Everything is made up of atoms, which are frequencies of energy. These frequencies of energy are the voice of Jesus causing all things to be! Atoms are made up of subatomic particles, and subatomic particles are made up of superstrings (which are toroidal vortices of energy). Superstrings are tiny donut shaped packets of energy that spin at a frequency - or sing as in a pitch.
None of this is real in this dimension because they exist only in a state of possibilities until someone observes them. Then, at that observation, the potential becomes a thing - a particle or a wave. This quantum wave collapse, caused by observation, is called popping a qwiff. This is your first step to taking a quantum leap. You can see or observe a God qwiff (something God shows you that is not yet real in this dimension) and, by observing or popping that qwiff, cause that potential to become your reality. Be careful what you see; you are going to get it! Be careful what you say; you will get that, too!"

My struggle with emotions...

Psalm 27:14 reads “Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.” Many scriptures command us to wait and be still and yet the temptation to run ahead of God with regards to getting married is strong at the moment. I am crying out to God for grace to overcome the temptation to be emotionally attached to a certain male friend who I am drawn to on many levels.

I am also feeling a little frustrated and tired of being single.. I have been a Christian for a few years now, and those few years I have been mostly single or either in unhealthy or undefined relationships.. I look around me and I see people in relationships, people getting engaged/married, people starting families and its all things that I long for myself.. worse still being an orphan I have the yearning to be with someone and start a family but this can’t happen if the man God has for me hasn’t approached me. But, in the midst of this all, I still trust Jesus to have his perfect way..and I know He is the author of my love story so I give back the pen of my life back into His hands so that he can write.

Even though I have come to view singleness as gift and have been focusing on redeeming the time to serve God wholeheartedly and have been giving more time to pray and serve at Church I still wake up to the fact that I am drawn to this guy so I am forced to cry out to God for strength to withstand temptation and keep myself emotionally and mentally pure. Though I greatly desire to pursue a relationship with this friend, I want even more earnestly to be completely in God's will and God's time frame. I know it is out of my control. All I can do is to offer up my desires to God and wait upon Him to accomplish His will for my life. My heart seeks to follow Psalm 37:4, "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
I want to wait upon God regarding a life partner, instead of running ahead of Him. Along with the psalmist I declare, "Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever" (Psalm 73:25-26).

I liked what my brother Hudson Davis wrote in his article on singleness and I concur to what he wrote:

"I am content in my singleness because I am certain that God has not abandoned me, has not forgotten me, that He loves me. But I am not satisfied because, despite the Love of God and the love of friends, despite the blessings I cannot list, there is an ache and longing that is unfulfilled. I am content but not satisfied."

Today, I decide to:
Be honest about my desires, but refuse to let them become an obsession. I want marriage and family, but those desires are not my highest goal...my goal and passion is Jesus Christ who loved me before I loved Him.
I decide to be intentional about finding mentors who have a genuine interest to see me grow as a whole person...and who can help become the mature woman of God that will make a wonderful wife and mother!!!!

SINGLED OUT FOR GOD'S PURPOSE....

Its been about three years and I have indeed come full circle hence the new beginning. I have even gotten an opportunity to share on a Google group Tribe Judah – our young adults group on what God would expect from us in our singleness even though its been 3 years since I ministered. In 2004 I joined Mitchell Rose’s online ministry called Higherground Ministries. Used to participate a lot yes today I thank God for Mitchell Rose And I thank Mitchell Rose for realising my gifting and developing it and thank you God for Mitchell Rose for he gave me that platform to birth and name a ministry and allowed me to moderate Singled Out For God's Purpose on his online ministry 4 years ago.Here was an American moulding a Zimbabwean girl to be a leader in Single's ministry!!!!

I remember he said these words to me- “ I want you to know that this will be an initiation into your own ministry” It is true, now that I am walking in my calling I can clearly see that God would want me to minister to the singles in this season. I answered this call in 2004 and then went astray and yet God has given me my job back in this season with more anointing and more power and yes wisdom that has come through my experiences in the wilderness….I will start a blog called Singled out for God’s purpose- the very name the Holy Spirit gave me to name this ministry 4 years ago…

I will paste the very article I posted on my debut and launch of the Ministry

SINGLED OUT FOR GOD'S PURPOSE
MINISTRY TO EMPOWER , MINISTER AND ENCOURAGE THE SINGLES IN MEETING THE PURPOSE GOD HAS FOR THEM.


THE ANNUNCIATION-BASED ON LUKE 1:26-56

I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE ALL YOU SINGLES A WARM WELCOME TO "SINGLED OUT FOR GOD'S PURPOSE" MINISTRIES .THIS IS WHERE WE SINGLES GET TO FELLOWSHIP, SHARE PROBLEMS AND HELP TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS, WHERE WE ARE GOING TO FAN INTO FLAME THOSE GIFTS THAT HAVE BEEN QUENCHED OUT DUE TO MANY REASONS MAYBE DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU ARE A SINGLE MOTHER, OR THAT YOU ARE PAST SOCIETY'S RIGHT MARRIAGE AGE. WHATEVER THE CAUSE OF THAT GOD WANTS TO FAN INTO FLAME THOSE GIFTS,GOD WANTS TO DO SOME MAJOR HEALING WORK IN US, HE WANTS TO DEAL WITH THE MINDSETS THAT WE HAVE THAT WE CANNOT BE EFFECTIVELY USED BECAUSE WE ARE SINGLE.HE WANTS US TO KNOW THAT WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COME S UPON US WE CONCEIVE A SEED OF GREATNESS AND SO BECOME PREGNANT WITH HIS PURPOSE.SOME OF YOU ARE GOING TO CONCEIVE DURING THIS MINISTRY , SOME OF YOU ARE ASKING GOD 'HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO CARRY OUT THOSE GREAT EXPOITS WHEN I AM SINGLE?
HOW CAN I GIVE COUNSEL TO A MARRIED COUPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN I AM NOT MARRIED? HOW CAN JOIN THE WORSHIP TEAM WHEN EVERYONE KNOWS I AM A SINGLE MOTHER?
I HAVE BEEN DOING A DEEP STUDY OF MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS AND SHE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF SOMEONE WHO GOD SINGLED FOR HIS PURPOSE.MARY WAS YOUNG AND SINGLE BUT OBVIOUSLY HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER GOD AND LIVED A LIFE OF WORSHIP SO GOD BYPASSED THE FACT THAT SHE WAS YOUNG AND SINGLE AND CHOSE HER TO GIVE BIRTH TO HIS PURPOSE OF SALVATION(JESUS).GOD COULD HAVE CHOSEN ELIZABETH WHO WAS OLDER, WISER BY WORLDLY STANDARDS, AND ALSO EVEN MARRIED TO A PRIEST TO GIVE BIRTH TO HIS HOLY PURPOSE BUT HE SINGLED OUT SINGLE MARY JUST LIKE HE HAS SINGLED YOU AND ME OUT FOR HIS HOLY PURPOSE.MARY BECAUSE SHE HAD THE SAME MINDSET WE ALL HAVE ASKED HOW IT COULD BE WHEN SHE DID NOT KNOW A MAN.AND GOD'S REPLY TO MARY AND YOU AND I WAS THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD COME UPON HER AND THAT THE POWER FROM THE HIGHEST WOULD OVERSHADOW HER AND SHE WOULD GIVE BIRTH TO A SON, AND FOR US TOO HE HAS A PURPOSE THAT HE HAS CHOSEN US TO GIVE BIRTH TO- MAYBE IT'S A HEALING MINISTRY, A WOMEN'S MINISTRY OR EVANGELISM WHATEVER IT IS GOD WANTS TO SPEAK TO YOU AND TELL YOU WHAT IT IS HE WANTS YOU TO GIVE BIRTH TO BUT THE OLD MINDSETS NEED TO BE DROPPED SO WE CAN GET TO A PLACE WHERE WE CAN SINCERELY SAY 'BE IT UNTO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD' THERE IS A BLESSING THAT COME FROM CHOOSING TO BELIEVE GOD THAT WITH HIM NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE AND THAT ALTHOUGH YOU ARE UNMARRIED YOU WILL GIVE BIRTH, LIKE ELIZABETH SAID ABOUT MARY 'BLESSED IS SHE WHO BELIEVED ,FOR THERE WILL BE A FULFILLMENT OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE TOLD HER FROM THE LORD'.IT IS TIME TO BELIEVE THOSE PROPHETIC WORDS THAT WERE SPOKEN IN YOUR LIFE BUT YOU HAD PUSHED THEM AT THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD BECAUSE ' IT IS NOT YET TIME AND I AM NOT YET MARRIED AND NOT MATURE ENOUGH 'YOU HAD TOLD YOURSELF. AND THEN YOU WONDER WHY ONLY WORLDLY MEN APPROACH YOU AND NO GODLY MAN HAS FELT AN INSTINCT TO COVER YOU AND PROTECT YOU LIKE JOSEPH DID WHEN MARY FELL PREGNANT ITS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT WITH THE DESIRES AND PURPOSE THAT GOD WANT TO PLANT INSIDE OF YOU BUT YOU'VE BEEN TELLING GOD THAT ITS JUST NOT POSSIBLE WHEN IN ACTUAL FACT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD..
I BELIEVE THE LORD WANTS TO TAKE US THROUGH A PROCESS, HE'S NOT GONNA RUSH US BUT TAKE US STEP BY STEP SOME COZ SOME OF US ARE STILL IN THE QUESTIONING STAGE THAT MARY STARTED OFF ON.THEN HE WILL LEAD US TO THE EMPOWERING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE CONCEPTION . THEN FROM THERE HE WILL LEAD US TO THE PREGNANCY AND EXPECTANT STAGE .IN THAT PREGNANT STAGE SOME OF US WILL ATTRACT AND CAUSE A GODLY MANY LIKE JOSEPH TO WANT TO COVER AND PROTECT US AND THEREFORE MARRY US.THIS GODLY HUSBAND WILL LEAD YOU SPIRITUALLY TO A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN THEN GIVE BIRTH TO GOD'S HOLY PURPOSE AND THEN WHEN YOU DO GIVE BIRTH WILL LOVE AND NURTURE THAT WHICH YOU BIRTH TOGETHER WITH YOU AS THOUGH IT WERE HIS OWN PURPOSE LIKE JOSEPH DID WITH MARY.
I AM NOT GOING TO SAY MUCH BUT I ENCOURAGE YOU TO REALLY SIT AND MEDITATE ON WHAT I HAVE BEEN SHARING ON.ALLOW THE LORD TO SHOW WHAT SORT OF MINDSETS HAVE BEEN HOLDING YOU BACK FROM BELIEVING WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD ACCOMPLISH THROUGH YOU AND THEN WITH THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DEAL WITH THOSE MINDSETS AND DROP THEM.MAYBE SOME OF YOU HAVE RRIVED AT THE BELIEVING STAGE AND ARE READY TO SAY TO GOD 'MAY IT BE TO ME AS YOU HAVE SAID.'SOME OF YOU AGAIN ARE IN THE CONCEPTION STAGE AND SOME OF YOU MIGHT ALREADY BE PREGNANT AND ARE EXPECTING TO GIVE BIRTH ANY TIME SOON.WHATEVER STAGE YOU ARE AT GOD IS AT WORK AND WILL BRING TO COMPLETION WHAT HE STARTED THE DAY HE CHOSE YOU.

MAY YOU ALL BE BLESSED AND MAY THAT SEED OF GREATNESS THAT IS IN ALL OF YOU COME ALIVE IN JESUS' NAME

LOVE AND BLESSINGS,
TAFADZWA(YOU ARE FREE TO CALL ME TAFFY)

An exciting start to the new beginning...

last week was rather hectic coz I had been away on my mini vacation and then I was also attending a conference and Dr.Mensah Otabil from Ghana was here teaching and instructing and encouraging us, he had an apt word for Zimbabwe. We had an awesome time at this same conference and Bishop Marvin Winans was there ministering in word and song…He's CeCe Winans and Bebe Winans older brother and also Mario Winans father!!!!! and the good looking Pastor Michael Pitts from USA also came …Israel Houghton and the New Breed didnt come this year as they always do but we had Benjamin Dube from South Africa.

Politically the political leaders were about to sign an agreement but now the other leader pulled out so I am just praying that God establishes His throne as the Prince of Peace in Zimbabwe and sorts out this mess. Life is not easy with hyperinflation and yet God always provides somehow.

Meanwhile I am so ready to leave this job but I need a go ahead and an opening from God so its kinda difficult and there is also some injustice that goes on at my workplace that God wants me to stand up to and I have been trying to avoid it but I know I have to speak.Gotta keep pressing in.

Yesterday morning prayer was powerful..there was a Kingly anointing present and yes we all got an impartation and I am now more ready than ever to start tapping into my destiny and this will require me to sow more time and prayer and myself , my gifts and my resources into the Kingdom. I am just asking the Lord for mentors and instructors to guide me into my destiny ..

The most bizarre thing happened to me last week. I had been bugging God about my husband to be when I got a picture cum vision of a guy and actually heard him speak with an accent etc. Anyway I just ignored it ..then come Friday nite at the conference the guy who was supposed to give me a lift home started trippin so I just decided to walk to town from the conference and think of a plan and then a car stopped before I got to the gate and they offered to give me a lift into town and just as I got into the car…the guy who was driving then stopped another car and said to me "you can go into that other car, that guy is going to Mabelreign" (thats where I live)and so I went into the other car going to mabelreign and to my shock the guy was the exact guy I saw in the vision. I was scared outta my wits and he must have wondered that why is this girl staring at me like that dang!!! We got talking and yeah he's a nice person. Been saved since last December so this is his 8th month and yet he's so much on fire and talks like someone who's been a Christian for years. He's an aspiring entrepreneur and is farming .His name is Tatenda. I met him on the 08/08/2008.

I went to a wedding on Saturday before proceeding to the conference , ..got there just in time for the bouquet throwing and baby I got the bouquet!!! And then went to the conference and of course got a lift yet again from Tatenda and the whole bouquet story came up again hint hint…Nway we will see maybe the reason I saw him was just a sign that God's taken my revelation levels higher since he ended up being a great help transportwise I dunno, don't wanna jump to conclusions so soon , gotta guard my heart…I take heed of the word my sister Akofa from Ghana said "until a man opens his mouth to tellyou something, don't assume anything. Even Satan performs signs andwonders as if they were from God." So until Tatenda opens his mouth I will not assume anything!!!

08/08/2008- The day of new beginning is here at last

I am so excited.The new day has broken forth. I have just stepped into a new season. God has been assuring me and confirming it through the word and the prophetic word through His servants. I received an email from a stranger and it went like this:

"Hie Tafadzwa.You may not know me,but somehow I got to reading your journal/notes via Farai's (name changed)page (she is my aunt). And I loved your note on the New Beginning and He has a reason. I could relate to both so well.Even before I read the note I just got a word for you.I know this is weird.Please test it.But I believe that it truly is a new season for you.God is about to bring a MIGHTY breakthrough in your life.Things you have been praying for, for A LOOOONG time are about to become a reality.And as you overcome your strongholds and barriers,God is positioning you for breakthrough.And as I look at your picture,there is a DEEP inner and outer beauty that the Lord showed me.You truly are a beautiful woman and God sees that and He is proud of you."

It has been spoken and it has been confirmed...the things I have yearned and travailed for , Things that God promised me are manifesting and coming to fulfilment ..I am thankful Lord.

Started on the new day/year/season on a fresh note, Woke up at 5 because I wanted to go to Morning Prayer at our church , I tried to hike but couldnt get transport and I became discouraged and frustrated then I realised that the enermy was trying to frustrate me and so I refuse to let him rob me of my joy..no way!!!!! I couldnt make it to morning prayer this morning but the devil forgot that because of the blood of Jesus I have direct access into the Holy Of Holies , I don't have to be in a church building to be able to receive what God has for me in this new year/day/season!!!!!

The number 8 is truly significant. We are in the Hebraic year 5768, the Year of Samekh Chet! That means we are coming into "The Year of the Full Circle of Life--A New Beginning Is Yours!"

New Beginnings....

I am excited as I close the chapter of this season. Today is the last day of the Month of July and tomorrow is the beginning of August. I am excited because August is the 8th month of the year and the number 8 spiritually symbolises a new beginning. I have been facing a lot of adversity and feeling a little bit unsettled but I know that it’s the process of getting to a new start so I am anticipating a renewal, new open doors, new prospects, new friendships etc.

Tomorrow is a brand new season, a whole new chapter in my life carrying along with it a fresh anointing!!!! I am excited about what God is about to do in and through me, I am excited to see God cause all the painful experiences I have faced to work together for my good. I am excited coz God watches over the prophetic words spoken into my life to perfom it and bring it to fulfillment. Most of all I am excited and ecstatic because He has given me JOY for all the sorrow… and a new beginning!!!!
