The Sunday News
By Moses Mahlangu Manzini
IT is indeed correct that God fulfils His promise from time to time. Those who have faith in Him and equally exercise a high degree of patience stand to rejoice and praise Him in eternity. God is the Spirit and Voice that commands the Heavens and Earth. He is the infinite Power, through His Holy Spirit omnipresent.
This is supported by a famous hymn that says; ‘‘Nkulunkul’ awunasiqalo; Nkulunkul’ awunasiphetho; Ukhon’endaweni zonke, Ngazo izikhathi zonke’’, which is loosely translated as “God eternal without an end. Present in every place and time.” It is because God is the Spirit, He is not composed of physical material.
However, when the need arises, God descends from Heaven to incarnate a human vessel or any creation such as a mountain in order to converse with His chosen nation. For instance; when Israelites were enslaved and inhumanly treated for centuries, they remembered the promise made and covenant entered by their forefathers and God, that He shall liberate them from all forms of oppression and deliver the chosen nation to the Promised Land of Canaan. As a result, they besought the Almighty God to fulfil His Promise and indeed He heard their pleas, He descended from Heaven in His Spiritual form and revealed Himself to Moses through a burning tree in Mount Horeb, Midian. God directed Moses that He will perform His Holy Work through him in order to free the children of Israel regardless of the extreme stubbornness to be displayed by their Captives, the Egyptians. They finally fled the land of Pharaoh and when their oppressors tried to pursue them, they were accosted by violent waves from the Red Sea and thus they were drowned in the ocean. God displayed that those who are in His side, shall always be protected and will always emerge victorious. The chosen nation wandered for over 40 years in desert but that was God’s plan to make them resilient, perseverant, patient and to have strong a rooted faith in the Power of God. There was resistance from the Canaan inhabitants who had huge arsenal of arms. However, the Israelites fought and conquered those nations because God was on their side.
Approximately in the 1st AD God revealed Himself again to the Israelites through a son born of a virgin girl ‘Mary’. God incarnated the vessel of Jesus Christ so that the three could be in one body; the Holy Spirit, the Voice and Jesus the Soul so that God, the Voice, could perform His Holy work on earth through the Incarnate who was known as Jesus Christ. Therefore, all the miracles performed and teachings that were conferred to the Jewish people were done by God through His Holy Host. It is correct that Jesus was God because God, the Spirit and Voice resided in the same Vessel. When the right time arrived, the foretold event occurred which was the crucifixion of the Host of God.
In 1857 during the dark ages in the African soil and almost 97 years before God responded to the African outcry, Tiyo Soga composed a prayer; “Ligcwalis’iZwi laKho, Nkulunkulu ngiqinise, Zonk’ inhlanga, zonk’izizwe, Kazizuze usindiso.” It is indeed a blessing for every nation to be visited by God, to choose one of them and converse with His creation in a human form. This incredible occurrence also took place in the African continent in the first half of the 20th century (1954) wherein God, the Voice and Spirit revealed Himself through an ordinary woman who was a devout member of the Methodist Church in Kwenda Circuit. This was a repetition of an incidence that happened with Moses approximately in 1290 BC when he was shepherding Jethro’s sheep in Midian desert. In Africa, God directed the Holy Host to visit the Mount Chivako, which resembled the ancient Mount Sinai, to converse with the Almighty God and receive Spiritual Proclamations.
Later, God through His chosen Vessel established Guta Ra Mwari (formerly Guta Ra Jehovah) wherein diseases were healed, and heavenly proclamations were made. This also included the healing of the continent of all stubborn diseases such as infertility, giving sight to those who are blind, opening ears to those who are deaf, giving speech to those who are mute, and other illnesses including the liberation of African countries. For example, in 1956 Tunisia and Morocco gained independence, Ghana followed in 1957 and Guinea in 1958 as well as other 17 countries in 1960. This includes other countries that were liberated in the later years of the 20th century and South Western Sahara that is yet to be liberated from Morocco. Indeed, Africans fought against colonisers who had sophisticated weapons, but they emerged victorious because God was on their side. The visit was clearly to liberate Africans from colonial oppression, restoration of its original religion, heritage and spiritually approved traditions.
In the month of November 1960 in a quiet, secluded and remote 100 hectares of land which stretches across the Mount Dangare, in the area of Gombagomba in Zimunya Communal Land, the Host of God was in agony. During the healing session God, through the Incarnate, emerged from the Holy Ark and declared to His followers that; upon His departure they should wait for His return in 40 days. He finally departed on 25 December 1960 and the remains of the Holy Host were buried at Kazangarare in Zvimba, Mashonaland West province.
However, God the Spirit ascended to Heaven of which that was a transition, wherein God took with Him the Soul of His Host to Heaven. He subsequently returned to Fulfil His Promise. It was reported that at or about 2100hrs on 31 January 1961 at F43 square in Mzilikazi, Bulawayo, a spiritually devoted woman; the Heroine Laiza Tayali ended her prayer by saying “Forever”, at that moment her husband, who was an ordinary elder of the religion, saw a snow-white cloud, which fell on Him and in turn, he fell on the bed on his back. The Voice spoke through Him and said “I have come — I Am God of all nations. Rise and let us do My Work.” From that moment on, God and the Soul of His chosen Vessel were two in one like it happened with Jesus and other Holy Hosts.
Thereafter, the words spoken were those of the Almighty God and deeds done to the chosen body were similarly done to God. Equally so, the salvation work and miracles performed thereafter were done by God. This applies to the glory, it remains due to the Almighty God, the Creator. Many difficulty diseases tormenting all races especially Africans were healed for 43 years when the Voice of God was in our midst as a human among humans and they continue to receive everlasting spiritual and physical healing in all Guta Ra Mwari centres because the Power of God works in perpetuity. When it was time for God to depart from the Second Holy Host, He declared that, “I shall not come back to use these humans again because they do not understand. However, I leave you with the Holy Spirit. My Power will always be with you, who follow my teachings and Standing Orders. There will never be a secret place where I will again reveal Myself and say, “I am God, I have come.” It shall never happen again, but my Power will always function amongst you.” Clearly, God is one, the same Voice that spoke to Abraham is the same Voice that visited Africans and proclaimed many Standing Orders and teachings as recorded in our scriptures.
Therefore, in every first week of February the members of Guta Ra Mwari religion gather at its Headquarters in Bulawayo to commemorate the Fulfilment of The Promise made in 1960. It is correct to proclaim that the Holy Spirit is within us and it is time for Africa to be healed of all physical and spiritual afflictions and to receive her rightful religion which is designed by the Almighty God.
