SPiRIT Filled International Ministries was founded by Apostle Lillian Bwanya to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations for the salvation of souls.
Although she has been a pastor for quite some time God called her into ministry with a mandate to deliver those that are in bondage, heal the sick, prophesy, teach and evangelise the Gospel of Jesus Christ under the instruction and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
God spoke to her about starting the ministry way back but she went on praying so that God would speak to someone else regarding the call into ministry for confirmation.
Her prayer was answered when someone unknown to her prophesied the confirmation. This man was Prophet Ian Ndlovu of Divine Kingdom Ministries whose first prophesy confirming the call to start a ministry was broadcast on his YouTube channel (Divine Kingdom Ministries) on the 17 April 2016.
A summary of the prophesy by Prophet Ian Ndlovu 17 April 2016: “There is a lady Evangelist whom God intends raising for such a time as this in Zimbabwe. God intends to make her prominent in intercession, prophesy, deliverance, healing and restoration in the order mentioned.
She currently resides in one of these provinces, Bulawayo Metropolitan, Matabeleland South and Matabeleland North, you choose. Not that I don’t know where she stays, I know but you choose. I see her in the realm of the spirit. Create a band of women, ladies and prayer warriors who shall pray for the restoration of Zimbabwe and the church or body of Christ in Zimbabwe. She shall also rally men.
When this lady evangelist occupies her position many people will align with God in the country and especially in Matabeleland regions. But I see the enemy arousing persecution against her through the apparatus of a denominational system in which she currently operates.
She is in a denomination. Let us watch and pray for her, she is not known to many people though God has been using her for many years. She was undergoing preparation in secret, because God hides people when they are undergoing preparation.
Nevertheless her season has arrived, if you look at Zimbabwe you will realise that there are no prominent lady evangelists. I know some of you will think of Apostle Eunor Guti, no she is attached to the husband, I am talking about someone with an anointing directly from God on top of herself, not someone whose anointing looks like is derived from the husband.
I am talking about someone who is like Joyce Meyer, a Joyce Meyer type of person, a Pastor Mukuba type of person, a Pastor Irene type of person. In herself has a calling from God.
This lady that I am talking about in her own right has got a ministry directly from God, and when she occupies her position, not that she is not a pastor already, she is a pastor already but by her position, I mean the position of prominence in the country of restoring things and taking leadership in the body of Christ, not only in her church. When she occupies that position of prominence all of us will begin to align with our purpose in Christ . . . ”
On 10 July 2016 Prophet Ian Ndlovu continued with the prophecy about Apostle Bwanya but this time around he mentions a part of her name . . . (Prophesy on YouTube channel — Divine Kingdom Ministries)
“This lady evangelist, the anointing that is upon her is so mighty that it will offend a lot of men who are in ministry in this part of Zimbabwe, even in other parts of the country. Men who are in ministry will be offended with the way God has poured His anointing upon her. She is an evangelist, at the present moment her denomination doesn’t understand what she is doing. I will just call her Evangelist B, you can finish the name if you know her.
“This is the person who has been anointed by God for this region. This lady evangelist, be very careful what you will speak about her. Don’t join people who criticise men and women of God. Those who criticise that lady evangelist, their ministries will be crushed by the Holy Spirit and those who will co-operate with what God has deposited in Her, their ministries will be promoted by the Holy Spirit, her season has arrived.
“The season of the lady evangelist has arrived, she will be opposed by ministers of the Gospel especially men but they shall not prevail; God is elevating her and her work. Let us pray for Evangelist B and her team. God has sent her to bring revival to our nation and especially the south western part origin of this country, let us watch and pray. She is rising with a team of women that have not been known before, they will just be having an anointing that is beyond human understanding.
Believe you me, you will start to know her very quickly and I saw that in her denomination they will start to persecute her because of the direction the Holy Spirit will be giving to her how to conduct her activities. She will move faster than how people in her denomination think. They will persecute her but they cannot hold what is in her, that she is female its nothing.
The anointing that is in her is far much older than the universe itself, it’s the presence of the Holy Spirit,” (for the detailed prophesy visit Facebook; Divine Kingdom Ministries).
After receiving all these confirmations Apostle Bwanya began to prepare her journey for exit from the former denomination which is AFM of which she started the new Spirit Filled International Ministries on 17 June 2018.
Spirit Filled International Ministries is currently situated at Security Mills on 12 Luton Road, Belmont, Bulawayo. The church has grown immensely and has seen a steady inflow of almost 50 new congregants every Sunday. Services start from 9am.
Apostle Bwanya also hosts Prophetic Tuesday Services popularly known as Combined Tuesday from 10am where she not only ministers the Word of God with power but also demonstrates the power of the Holy Spirit through prophecy, healing and deliverance.
There is also another service for Gofan Partners. This service is dedicated to all those who have partnered with Apostle Bwanya supporting the Gospel of Jesus to reach many people far and wide. The Gofan Partners services are held once a month, usually on the last Sunday of the month at the church headquarters in Douglasdale known as Azusa Mountain of Prayer where she plans to build a synagogue and is the official site for the church headquarters.
Evidence of the existence and manifestation of the power of God is seen by the many testimonies given by people from different walks of life as they profess how the mighty hand of God working through Apostle Bwanya touched and changed their lives for the better.
