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!" You might be interested in reading exactly what that entails here: http://www.elijahlist.com/words/html/textonly-082807-Pierce.html.Glory be to God!!
