Harare and Bulawayo Gospel Musicians Unite

There was great joy and celebration yesterday the 20th of May 2017 at the Zimbabwe International Trade fair Hall one, when Faith in God (FIG) Worship Culture decided to launch its third album called, "Christ to all Nations" in Bulawayo at Eagle life Assemble. Tickets were being sold at just $2-00 for adults and $1-00 for children. Close to one thousand mostly youths came to witness the Album launch.

Fig Worship Culture is a Praise and Worship gospel group based in Harare, and it is made up of Sons and Daughtars of Dr Arch Bishop Assah Gurupira, the Founder of Faith in God Ministries who was the special guest yesterday, is also a Spiritual father to Dr Prophet Blessing Chiza, who was the host at this prestigious event, what a very humble man Dr Gurupira is.

Fig Worship culture which was formed in 2013 and managed to launch its first album in 2015 was accompanied from Harare by Mupostori Wenzi from "Zimpraise" a popular gospel music group in the country. There was also Eric from Joyous Celebration among others.

The Bulawayo groups that made the occasion to be more interesting included, Cream Voices, Vocal X, Tafadzwa Dzwa Jeduthan Lunga from Eagle Life Asembly who realised his first album early this year titled Ubudah Asimazi, Reward Judah Ndlovu who also realised his first album late last year titled Ndinenzara. Minister Nkosi Nyoni another Eagle who is set to realise his own album any time this year. There was drama performances by different youths as well as interdenominational church groups performing as well.



The event was officially opened by Dr Prophet Blessing Chiza, with a prayer and a prophecy that the Fig Worship Culture's third album will touch lives in the whole World, especially in the Country. He said it is well with their vision of being an international recognized gospel group in the mould of Joyous Celebration of South Africa among others. Watching youths and their Gospel musicians celebrating and enjoying in church, I regardless of tribe, colour or which city, is very awesome and it actually remove the notion that there is any disunity among citizens in the country as portraid by the Bosso, Dembare match at BF a week ago. In the church the situation is completely different. There is No Shona, No Ndebele, No Nigerian only the Children of God and we Love our father in Heaven.

Finally the event was closed by the invited guest Dr Arch Bishop Assah Gurupira with a powerful prayer. Dr Gurupira said he was suppose to be preaching in Chinhoyi yesterday evening but the Holy Sipirt told him to come to Bulawayo for a special assignment, which is unlocking and activating people's talents and gifts so they will go higher in the Kingdom doing great exploits using their gifts to lift the Kingdom of God. He prayed for musicians, business people among others and he anointed others separating them from the rest according to God's will.

He read the Scriptures in 1Samuel 16 verse 12 and 13 which says and i qoute KJV Bible.

"And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.  Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah."

"Dr Gurupira said the simple shepherd boy sang the songs of his own composing, and the music of his harp made a sweet accompaniment to the melody of his fresh young voice. The Lord had chosen David, and was preparing him, in his solitary life with his flocks, for the work He designed to commit to his trust in after years."

He also read Aswell Exodus 31 verses 2 and 3 which says " See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:

And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship."

Then he further explained that this was what God told him to come and do in Bulawayo, he anointed some, prayed for some and Blessed everyone who attended. He said musicians have a power to unite people in the World, God has given you the special gifts, I can not put talent, or faithfulness in you but i am here to activate your talent the same way Prophet Samuel did to David as we read the Scriptures. Said Dr Gurupira.

Dr Assah Gurupira anointed Tafadza Dzwa Jeduhan Lunga, Reward Judah Ndlovu, Minister Nkosi Nyoni, and Mupositori Wenzi saparating them according to the scriptures.
