Onismas Musokota (ZAOGA Elder)
First and foremost, I would like to thank our Lord Saviour Jesus Christ who helped me to undertake this life changing Course. Secondly I would want to thank our dear Pastor Gwanzura. He kept on encouraging and contacting me whenever he felt I was growing weary.
I undertook the NBI Leadership Course from the year 2015 and due to some work commitments, I could not finish in
the scheduled period of time. But the zeal to deeply know and explore the things of God drove me to complete this
wonderful and life enriching Course. From the time, I could not resist the spiritual food. I started to grow from
strength to strength spiritually.
As an elder in ZAOGA Forward in Faith Ministry, my understanding of God and His principles grew. The way I am now
teaching, evangelizing and executing my duties has completely changed from the time I started undertaking the
Course. The Course is laden with well researched and spirit filled staff. It is simple to understand to a spirit filled
person. Personally I was imparted with knowledge of deeper understanding of the word of God and who really is
God.
I lead an assembly in one of the peri-urban areas of rural Zimbabwe. I have congregants who can now relate well
with the Bible teachings. Our numbers are growing especially after studying on the “Secrets of a growing church” in
the book “Building Up a Church” in Module 1. I understood that I have to be a strong leader for me to have a strong
church. I am now able to plan and arrange well my sermons and Services, thereby giving value to the church. The
other important aspect I discovered during the Course is that the whole lecture teaches doctrine of God which is the
Bible doctrine and not of Congregational or denominational doctrine.
It touches all the sectors of our lives be it spiritual or material. In our Church Services, all department are now being
fully involved from adults to the young children. We hope marriages and families to be stronger after the
impartation from the lecture books especially the “Building a Happy Marriage” of Module 5.
Last but not least, I have discovered that I have read and studied the whole Bible from Genesis to the Apocalyptic
book of Revelation in an understandable way. Glory be to God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
