2013 HEAVEN IS HERE MZUZU CONFERENCE

The excitement was all over the stadium, the story was everywhere in the city and the mission was accomplished in grand style. Fountain of Victory International Ministries under the stewardship of Pastor Joseph Ziba invaded the northern region, Mzuzu to be specific on Saturday, 28^th September, 2013 and the ministry left an indelible mark through its Heaven Is Here Conference at Mzuzu Stadium.

 Crowd receiving Jesus as Personal Lord as Personal Lord and Saviour

Everything was just stunning. The Pastor arrived at the Stadium to a warm reception and it was not surprising considering that the expectation was high. Many had just seen him on TV and some just heard about him and there were many who came from far districts like Karonga just to get a glimpse of him and to be touched by the treasure which God has deposited in his life. The stadium was packed with the whole ground crammed full, people of different ages, profiles and status came to the services.

The conference was held only one day; multitudes came to the conference expectant on that God is going to change their situations and times. There were just two services that took place; the morning service which was the Healing and Miracles Service specially dedicated for God to manifest his goodness over the lives of people in healings, deliverances and elevating peoples’ lives.

The Man of God ministered about the people who came to Jesus (Matthew 4:23-24)that they were people who were sick and with torments that is to say with the pains of life but the bible says that Jesus healed them all, the word all means everything excluding nothing telling us that Jesus is able to heal everything. The Man of God also talked of the pool of Bethesda (John 5) he pointed out some points that when the angel came and troubled the water the bible says on verse 4 that “whosoever then first after troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease” in other word it says the first person who entered in the pool just after the troubling of the water by the angel was made whole of any disease he had. The question being why healing the first one only? It tells us that healing is for those who are desperate and hungry for it not for people who come just to see. The other thing he pointed out is that the pool is called Bethesda in Hebrew which means the house of Kindness showing us that it was the place of the manifestation of the kindness and goodness of God. The Man of God said that they went to Mzuzu to manifest and for the people in Mzuzu and northern region to experience the goodness and kindness of God. Then the Man of God offered a general prayer in front and just after the prayer was offered multitudes that were sick, walking on wheel chairs, walking using crutches stood up and went to front to give their testimonies of what the Lord has done to them, people were being delivered in the group just by that prayer, you could see people literally vomiting stuff, people with stroke for some years walked for the first time, a man with leprosy who could not feel if something touches his feet was cleansed and for the first time he felt the hotness of sun with his feet, cancer was flashed out, deaf ears were opened. The Lord really manifested his kindness and goodness in Mzuzu Stadium. Multitudes were fighting not to be prayed for but to give their testimonies, there was a young girl who developed piles and when she went to the hospital they operated her and after the operation it went worse to the extent that she was just defecating and urinating without control, she can be somewhere seated the next thing she finds that she is wet or she has defecated without her noticing how it happened and she couldn’t associate with people because she was smelling always but you don’t go to the house of the kindness and goodness of the Lord and go back the same, when the prayer was offered she found out that all the pain is gone and the Lord took her shame away and gave her a new name, when she was testifying people were just crying seeing the painful and shameful moment the sister has passed through even her friends came in front crying testifying the moments she has been in. there were lots of testimonies to give talking of people who were delivered for satanism, goiters and tumors disappearing. The man of God closed the meeting upon seeing that the time was gone and there was a need to have the second and last service.

The second service started after the lunch break, there was such a readiness in people because of what happened in the morning and also that the Man of God promised in the morning that he will teach about the Freedom that we have as sons of God. when he stood in front he stressed the point that the biggest mistake you can make is to give up on God, he said that there are some who were in the morning service and they feel that nothing has happened to them and they have given up and concluding that God cannot heal them, he said that Jesus prayed for the blind person and he asked him what he sees and the man said that he is saying people as trees and Jesus prayed again over the person, had it been that the man gave up the first time he wouldn’t have received his miracle.

The Man of God read on Galatians 1:4 where it says that Jesus came to deliver us from the present evil world and he also read on Revelations 1:18 where Jesus told John that he is alive and he holds the keys of hell and death which tells us that Jesus is still alive he is not dead, and he is not just alive but he also went to hell and took the keys of the hell from the devil showing us how powerless the devil is that is why in Galatians 1:4 it says that he came to deliver us from the present evil world that is to give us the freedom. The Man of God then gave an opportunity to those who haven’t received Jesus as their personal Lord and saviour to receive him and multitudes almost everybody came in front and the Man of God lead the people to Christ and he then called for anyone who had any sickness who wanted to be prayed for and seeing the multitude that came in front was just many. The Man of God prayed for all of them and he closed the service with praying for the people because they were just too much.

Everybody went back home with full of joy and a song of celebration and victory was on the mouth of everyone. People who had tumors and goiters witnessed their tumors disappearing, those who came on wheel chair went walking, and those who came bound went delivered. In simple words we can say that Pastor Joseph Ziba and Fountain of Victory International Ministry went to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord to the Northern region.

To God be the Glory for what he did in Mzuzu and the whole Northern Region!!
