Triune Life Ministries

Titbits for a terrific Tuesday morning… Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears. – *Gillian Anderson* I am old and have pondered a great deal many troubles, but most of them never happened.*~Mark Twain* Life is short, break the rules. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that makes you smile.*~Mark Twain*

Dawn is coming Acts 12:18 NLT — At dawn there was a great commotion among the soldiers about what had happened to Peter. Kudenga kuna Mwari - there is God in heaven. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, all i can say is thank you. Twatotela Lesa. You, the changer of impossibilities to possibility. Though you have all the power to do mighty and unsearchable things, I love you. Nalikutenwa sana. Forgive us Lord. Speak to us Holy Spirit. In Jesus's name, amen. I feel like going on and on. It is so sweet to talk to Jesus. I believe when Peter was being led past each guard posts, he was spiritually collecting back his will power as mentioned in yesterday's devotion. Listen child of God, when you are going through difficult times, never leave your will power. The will to have faith in God. The will to trust in Jesus's name. The will to hold hope tightly and the will to continue in love. These four will bring freedom to your soul. All this happened at night. Our God does not sleep. However, dawn is coming. OMG, confusion is a virtue that the enemy had in abundance. The passage we read above did not hide the state of affairs in the prison. The time will come when those who thought had you in their shackles will enjoy the meal of confusion. May this morning bring great confusion in the camp of those who have been holding you back. In the book of Exodus 14, there was great confusion, not only in Pharaoh’ palace, but throughout the nation of Egypt. The night of liberation left a dawn of confusion and sorrow to Egypt. Even when Pharaoh came to his senses and pursued Israel, the damage was already done. The enemy will try to come after you, but the day that you received Jesus in your life, you had a head start. Imagine the confusion on that 40th day in the valley when the Philistines witnessed their giant source of pride and strength tumbled down without a fight. Because you believe in Jesus, you will not wait for dawn to break. Our Lord leads us even in the middle of the night. No wonder why, Mary Magdalene was able to speak with Jesus, even before dawn broke. You don't have to wait until all your problems are over, for you to speak with the Holy Spirit. No, I can't leave out the confusion that happened in the camp of Assyria when the four lepers went visiting. Read 2 Kings 7:3-20. The lepers shackles was hunger. But, as they walked towards the enemy lines, the Spirit of God went ahead of them and confusion was the unmistakable result in the camp of the holder of freedom to those in the city of Samaria. This morning, you need to pray that the Holy Spirit helps you collect your will power back. Stop panicking, God always has a way. Elder Josphat Murape +260976749389 10/6/2025

*JUST THINKING :* In Gen 3, after Adam’s sin, God’s first question is *“where are you?”* . In Gen 4 after Cain’s sin, God’s first question is, *“where is your brother?”* The core of our relationship with God is found in these two questions . First is *FIND YOURSELF* ; Second is *FIND YOUR BROTHER* !!! Hope this made little sense?

*DISOBEDIENT SONS* We have to take the time. Gone are the days when we just stand up on Sunday and preach a word. That is not enough. That way is short of enough. We have to take the Joshua’s of this world and set them down, one on one, and speak into their life. We have to mentor, coach, develop, and train. We have to help them root out the cancers that have come from generations of polluted sacrifices. Let me show you why this is important. Hannah prayed for a son (1 Samuel 1) while Peninnah had sons every year. Hannah came to the temple one day and received the power of God on her life. Boom! Then came Samuel. Samuel was born to Hannah. Elkanah had these two wives in the house, then Samuel was born and there were all kinds of mouths fighting for the same plate. Samuel’s first experience in that household was the other children. Peninnah mocked Hannah for years, so it reasons that her kids were obnoxious and had a gang mentality. *Eli, Hophni and Phineas* At a young age Samuel was taken and put in Eli’s house. The only way he could get close to God was he had to go to Eli. Samuel lived with two older boys, the sons of Eli, named Hophni and Phineas. Samuel came into the house of God and was exposed to Eli’s disobedient sons, unspiritual leaders, immoral wheeler-dealers who polluted the altar. The bible says they manipulated the altar. The scripture was clear that for the priest to be fed, he had to put a flesh hook into the sacrifice and pull out the flesh. Whatever came on the flesh hook was their portion. It was a principle of intercession. When the priest put the flesh hook in to a person’s sacrifice, and pulled out a portion of the flesh, what was on the flesh hook God was showing them what needed intercession. If they pulled flesh from the shoulder, then they had to pray for governmental issues. If they pulled flesh from the arm, which is the foreleg, they had to pray for the building mechanism in the land. If they pulled flesh out of the neck it was control or headship issues. Or, flesh from the back area would mean they needed to pray concerning prosperity issues. Whatever flesh was on the flesh hook God was revealing to the priest the focus for intercession. Hophni and Phineas did not do that! They decided to pray what they wanted to pray and eat what they wanted to eat. They polluted the altar. They had sexual intercourse with women in the house of God, and there was a child raised in that corrupt spiritual environment. Eli was a father who was old, obese and blind. He would not address the misconduct of his sons. Samuel was raised in that environment. Samuel’s mother had more sense than that whole bunch that was supposed to be custodians of the glory. Every year without fail she brought Samuel a new garment; and according to her intercession and her understanding, the garment fit perfectly. He grew in one year and she anticipated by intercession how much he grew. As a mother who did not serve in the house of God but pursued a ministry for her son, the fathers could not recognize Samuel’s growth because Eli did not address things with his sons. Eli allowed his sons to mortgage the glory of God for over a century by taking the ark into a battle that God did not approve. At the age of nine, then, Samuel has to be entrusted with a national plan because Eli who was 90 years old disqualified himself by permitting disorder among his sons. In other words, Samuel was at the place of governmental birthing but he was still a baby. Samuel at the age of nine was more grown up than Eli! God had to give this kid a national plan, and impose on a child the weight of a nation spiritually, economically, and politically. Samuel never had a life because the fathers were babies! Samuel carried this well. It is important that sons obey, but if they do not have anybody to help them obey a thing, then they are burdened before their time of full maturity. In my heart as an individual, I have always wanted to do right. I still want to do right. I never want to mess up in any way, not even going to the wrong meeting or the wrong place. I could be anywhere. I would love to be at home more than anywhere else, but sons obey. Sons obey. God is raising up a generation of men and women in the world that want to obey, where ministry is not about the games but about obedience. Sons will go to a meeting and obey the father. *Prayer* Father, we pray for the spirit of obedience upon every son. We pray God that You will give men that are fathers sons that want to obey, that are willing to obey. We pray God that You will lighten up the soil around the world, and that You will ripen the soil of the sons around the world. We pray for You to raise up sons on which the Kingdom of God is featured and predicated. For all the men and women that are reading this message all over the world, I pray that You will impose upon us great grace to raise up sons because our sons have to prophesy. They have to see visions. I pray that You will give us the grace, the methodology, and the information to raise up sons and speak into the lives of sons. We ask You, Lord, for this in the mighty name of Jesus. *Amen.* We also have kids ministering that are orphans. We will now pray a prayer that God will raise up fathers to start a literal ministry of helps, to help some people find their way. The men and the women that God has entrusted to you, you have to help these people. They do not know and they need somebody to help them. Everywhere I go there is this cry for help and they do not get help. They get brochures, and partner itinerary meeting schedules. They are not getting help, but a down line of marketing. Please help somebody. If you are an orphan, I pray that in the course of this year that God will lead you to a real father that does not want your tithing, but wants you because you are an orphan. I now pray Lord for men and women that You called to be fathers, for some of us that You called to be sons. I pray God that You will lead us and direct us to the right individuals, even if it is one person. Lead us as a father to direct our energy, sport, strength, information, knowledge, and experience into just one, in Jesus’ name. *Amen.* https://chat.whatsapp.com/ElKaNjH1oHz6UF5yulS7b2 https://chat.whatsapp.com/ExCD9jKcKnR8wQUJqC1mSj

*ABUSIVE SYSTEMS* Abraham and David each have three sets of sons. Abraham’s sons are from three different women in three different phases of his life. Similarly, David’s sons are from three different seasons of his life and three different places. Abraham’s three different sets of sons are Ishmael, his son with the Egyptian woman Hagar, the sons of his second wife Keturah, and Isaac, his son with his beloved wife Sarah. At any given moment in ministry fathers will have these three kinds of sons in their ministry and life. *Now Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. She bore to him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah… now Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac; but to the sons of his concubines, Abraham gave gifts while he was still living, and sent them away from his son Isaac eastward, to the land of the east.* Genesis 25:1–2,5–6 *Abraham’s Labor Sons* Ishmael is the labor son of Abraham by Hagar the Egyptian maid. Labor sons are individuals that work in your ministry, but they are looking for the door out. Unfortunately, there are ministries that do not create an exit for developing individual ministries in the house. For example, there can be someone with a gift on their life sitting in church for 10, 12, or 15 years but there is no way out of the house. If they stay they die. If they leave, they have to tear an exit out and hurt the structure. To assist them, fathers have to create exit structures to release greater, stronger, younger, more powerful, more gifted men, to start their ministry. If we remain naïve, foolish and attempt to keep people under subjection with scripture verses like *‘touch not mine anointed and domy prophets no harm’* 1Chronicles 16:22, at some point this young lion will want to leave. If fathers have no exit strategy in place, then the son will tear up the place. Some of the labor sons will leave. They will not produce too much in terms of productivity for the local house in terms of the spreading of DNA. It will be like Ishmael. Only after a labor son leaves does he in his first generation produce 12 princes. He is a labor son. He will do what he is told—carry water, milk the goats, carry the wood, pitch the tents—but that is all he will do. He is a labor son. He is paid to work and he works to be paid. Labor sons work to go and start their own ministries somewhere else where they will put all their time and energy and produce more for their own ministry. Fathers must understand that this is the process of things for labor sons. *Abraham’s Gift Sons* These are the sons of Keturah, Abraham’s second wife after Sarah’s death. Gift sons come with unique gifting. For example, Midian was gifted as a prophetic seer. He had the gift of revelation. Every house has gift sons. They are not inheritance sons, but they are gift sons. They come with distinct gifting and in the future, they will expand the arm of your ministry. They will duplicate the DNA in another place. Abraham sent these sons. He gave them each a check and sent them east because they are able to start and duplicate what he taught them. *Abraham’s Inheritance Sons* Isaac is Abraham’s inheritance son. Inheritance sons are your love children. These are the kids for whom you build your ministry. These are the ones for whom you gave your life, blood and sacrifice. Fathers do not give their work to hired guns because they can preach. Fathers must have a love child. It may or may not be your own physical son. It could be a spiritual son that God raised up right before you like Timothy. That is your double. He walks like you walk, talks like you talk, thinks like you think. He is the duplication of you, but he has a louder role. That is your Isaac. Do you know why Isaac loved Esau as much as he loved him? This is my opinion. When those boys were born, Jacob and Esau, Jacob looked like Rebekah. The bible says Rebekah was very fair. Esau had a lot of Abraham on him, so every time Isaac looked at Esau he saw his daddy, and because he loved his daddy so much, there was some misjudgment concerning where the inheritance should go. Isaac was born when Abraham was 100 years old. Do you know how 100-yearold men act when they have a child they could never have from a wife that is the love of their life? It is like a man that has four sons and suddenly out of nowhere they have a little girl. There is all of this love to pour on the child. Isaac and Abraham are tight, and when Abraham dies, Isaac does not recover. It takes him twenty years from his marriage to have kids because of grief for his father. Fathers, you need in your ministry to start developing that love child, that person that is going to inherit your work. If you leave your ministry to somebody that is a hired gun, they will tear up that building you built and put up something else. They will tear down the church that was a century of holiness and sacrifice, and turn it into a cesspool of mess. You need inheritance sons. https://chat.whatsapp.com/ElKaNjH1oHz6UF5yulS7b2 https://chat.whatsapp.com/ExCD9jKcKnR8wQUJqC1mSj

Pride ☠️ has an ending Acts 12:22 NLT — The people gave him a great ovation, shouting, “It’s the voice of a god, not of a man!” Lord, I pray this morning that I remain who you made me. I am more stronger in my natural self, than to be artificial. Lord, can I not be deceived by position and or possessions. I want to please you in the capacity you would have given to me. Your joy is my strength. Holy Spirit, speak to us this morning. In Jesus's name, amen Pride gives birth to lying. They walk hand in hand. They share a meal. They give comfort to each other. Pride drives away pity. Pride is a dangerous pedestal. The higher the pedestal, the weaker the balance. My brothers and sisters, take a deep breath and retain your footstool on the ground. It was pride that drove Lot into choosing the valley that landed him into Sodom and Gomorrah. I always wonder what happened to all those servants and his animals that caused him to separate from his uncle. Pride, destroys. Imagine, a man of Lot's stature, spending time sitting by the entrance into the city. Pride demotes you. If it was not for Abraham's prayers, Lot could have died in Sodom and Gomorrah. He went in rich, but came out poor, and running for his life. It was pride that caused Pharaoh and his advisers to fight God. Plague after plague, he resisted the request to let Israel, go. Pharaoh didn't realise that his pride was drawing the entire nation to a catastrophic moment. My fellow leaders, we need to stop before God stops us. In whatever capacity or position we find ourselves in, let us be humble. The last brick at the top of the wall is not stronger than the one in the foundation. May God open your spiritual eyes so that you can see the slippery road you are walking on. Pride also births arrogance (manyawi in shona). Instead of you saying, God can help us do it, it will be, we can do it. Remember the story of the first battle between Israel and Ai? Pride caused them not to consult God first like they used to do before. They believed they had enough fire power to push Ai out of the way. Never leave God out of your activities regardless of the size of the program. You need God more than he needs you. It is not money that you need to see through the project. It is the presence of God that you need. Moses never sank boreholes in the wilderness, yet water was supplied in abundance. Listen, it is not too late to throw pride away and get God involved. Today's scripture reading paints a sad story. King Herod Agrippa allowed pride and power to enter his head. Then bible records that, he was very angry against the people of Tyre and Sidon. Though the bible does not state what they had done to anger Herod Agrippa, Tyre and Sidon were known for idolatry. Maybe, King Herod Agrippa wanted to also be worshipped too. Tyre and Sidon begged the king for a rebirth of their relationship. They wanted peace. Instead of being humble and meet with them, he dressed up and set on his throne. OMG, Lord forgive us. We have strayed away from you. Herod Agrippa made a speech and the people gave him a standing ovation 👏. We all know what followed the standing ovation. It was his death. My brother, come back to the ground and let God (who is already above you) give the speech. Elder Josphat Murape +260976749389 11/6/2025

*OBEDIENT SONS* Timothy was an obedient son. When Paul found Timothy, he took him and had him circumcised and marked for ministry Acts 16:3, 18:5. Paul then leaves for a mission trip but he leaves Silas and Timothy to stay there until he returned (17:4). Timothy was an obedient son. *And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.* Acts 19:22 Timothy is there. In Acts 20, an apostolic and prophetic team goes into Asia. *And he was accompanied by Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia. But these had gone on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas.* Acts 20:4–5 Timothy serves with this team. There are Tychicus and Trophimus, but Timothy is the youngest of the group. He obeys. *Timothy my fellow worker greets you…* Romans 16:21 Paul calls Timothy “my yokefellow”. This is the young man he picked up years ago and circumcised for ministry. He assigned him to places where people might be antagonistic to him because of his age (1 Timothy 4:12). Timothy is a young man who was challenged to stick with the assignment. He was going to obey. At this point, from all the references, Timothy was single and unmarried. When Paul warned him to flee youthful lusts (2 Timothy 2:22), he was directing this young man in how to face all kinds of temptations because he was an evangelist, upcoming apostle, and good looking. We know this because the scripture talks about his interracial mix. Paul trained him, and called him a yokefellow, which meant this boy would plow anywhere Paul plowed. *For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.* I Corinthians 4:17 Timothy became more than a yokefellow. He was a beloved son because he was obedient. Jesus was also called the beloved Son because He was obedient. *Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to be afraid, for he is doing the Lord’s work, as I also am. So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.* I Corinthians 16:10–11 Timothy was circumcised years ago and marked for ministry. He proved himself. He plowed where Paul plowed. Paul sent Timothy to Corinth with confidence that he would do exactly what Paul taught him to do because he was a son. *To Timothy, my true child in the faith: grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.* I Timothy 1:2 Paul addressed Timothy because he was an obedient son. *To Timothy, my beloved son: grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.* II Timothy 1:2 *Other Sons of Paul* Paul named some of his sons. These are the names of men that served, men that showed honor and respect. This was important because the apostle Paul was about to structure his future based on his sons, men who served him who were obedient. Here they are: Silvanus and Timotheus and Titus. *TITUS* Paul identified Titus as an obedient son seen by the things that God commissioned him to do. *To Titus, my true child in a common faith: grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.* Titus 1:4 *SOSTHENES* *Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,* 1 Corinthians 1:1 *PHILEMON* Paul addressed the owner of an escaped slave. Look how Paul introduced this letter to Philemon. There are times when we find ourselves in dire need. *Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker,* Philemon 1:1 Paul identified with Philemon based on Timothy’s obedience. When he addressed the issue of the escaped slave, Paul mentioned Timothy as the example of a young man who left his home and was with him. His point was that as a prisoner of Jesus Christ, Timothy was his prisoner by his choice to stay with Paul. Timothy was Paul’s prisoner; he was in jail because of his free will and he chose to be with Paul. *Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,* Colossians 1:1 The word our in the King James Version is italicized, which implies it was added. Timothy remained with Paul, and this was years later. *Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons:* Philippians 1:1 These men graduated from prisoners to servants. Timothy as a son graduated with time. *Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you and peace.* 1 Thessalonians 1:1 Silvanus is also part of the Sonship team that Paul was developing. *Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:* 2 Thessalonians 1:1 Look at this team of individuals that Paul groomed for ministry service. If you pastor you have kids in your church. Some of them may be older than you. What kind of quality time do you pour into these young people? They desperately need you. They need to see you as more than somebody who preaches on a Sunday. They need to see you as a leader that can pour life into them. Most young pastors have a lot to learn. They don’t know about banking or how to manage money. They were not taught how to manage and look after a wife. They have no clue how to raise children. They are not learned in how to structure a ministry. They do not know that in the stages of life and ministry that there are 10-year cycles divided into one-year cycles in every 10-year cycle. They do not understand any of those principles, and if we do not take the time to show them we can never produce obedient sons. Sons, we have to be obedient. We have to submit ourselves to the will of our fathers and begin to work according to what God has instructed through them for us. That model is being restored in America because we have a lot of young men and young women trying to find their way and are desperate for somebody to show them the way, to open the door, to be a role model, to correct them and be honest and straightforward with them. This is what Malachi said would happen. *A day is coming when the sons will be drawn to fathers that will direct them. America is tired of children ruling. They want some real men to get up, some real fathers to direct the way. https://chat.whatsapp.com/ElKaNjH1oHz6UF5yulS7b2 https://chat.whatsapp.com/ExCD9jKcKnR8wQUJqC1mSj

Titbits for a mellow Monday morning… Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.*~Pele* The only guarantee for failure is to stop trying.*~John C. Maxwell* Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.*~Marie Curie*
