Noah’s Testimony Concerning Matenga’s Work

1 My brethren, concerning Matenga’s Work, I have nothing to say except that we are all blessed, we who were liberated by a powerful hand from various places.

2 Coming here in awe, for coming here is not easy; it requires those whose names are written in the Scripture of Salvation .

3 Truly, it is a great blessing that our physical eyes should behold the face of Matenga as she walks with her own feet on earth.

4 And seeing with our own eyes the wonders and signs she performs with her hands.

5 So my brethren, regarding such love , let us be careful not to be led astray by this life, which we were given freely.

6 Let us know that we have those whom we now call brethren because of Matenga through faith .

7 All the prophets, from Isaiah to Malachi, and all the teachers, though they were on earth, their eyes never saw such things while they were in this earthly life.

8 So I say the Lord fulfilled the saying of His singer, which says, “The Lord descended from heaven and became a person among the people.”

9 My brethren in Africa, let us all be careful not to let this time, which we were given freely, pass us by.

10 Lest we become like the foolish men and women of Noah’s day, who presented themselves as wise when they were actually fools.

11 It happened in those days that the Father intended to destroy the earth because sins had become too great.

12 Now, by the Father’s mercy, He did not want to destroy it without warning it, so He made a plan to send His servant Noah.

13 Saying, “Go and tell these people to build an ark, for I intend to destroy this earth with water.”

14 Noah did not fall from heaven; he was chosen from among the people, as a person among the people.

15 Many mocked him, others insulted him, as it was among the people.

16 But all those who mocked, because of their words of scorn, we were told their reward—that they all perished in the flood.

17 Then came the Israelites and Moses, and King Pharaoh; Pharaoh was prideful, not knowing that there was another besides himself, thinking that he was God .

18 But we heard the reward of his ignorance, that he and his armies perished in the sea and the water.

19 It was the same in the days of the coming of the Son of God , the Lord Jesus, into the world.

20 It was also full of fools who called themselves wise, such as the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and then the teachers and priests; they were the ones who crucified Him on the cross.

21 Likewise, we Africans, let us also be careful in our own wisdom .

22 Let us see if it does not conflict with God .

23 Tell me, do our hearts know that God finally loved us through His mercy?

24 But for me, my brethren, my heart has a testimony that Jehovah Himself performed His will within the black skin; I do not say this to please people, no.

25 I say this because of the work I have seen with these eyes of mine.

26 For I know that there are many who will be offended because of this name, Matenga .

27 We who were saved and liberated from many things, we are the ones who say she is our God .

28 For I have lived in the world for many years and traveled to other countries; even some of the elders here do not know them.

29 I saw traditional healers of all kinds and various organizations of worshippers.

30 But I have never seen such power and signs.

31 I saw with these eyes of mine: the blind receiving sight, I saw the mute being made to speak, the deaf hearing, the disabled being made to walk, and those with leprosy being cleansed.

32 And those with epilepsy and the insane being calmed, those with illnesses of bleeding, and the blessing of the womb for those who had been barren for years.

33 These barren women were given children freely without price, and I myself was calmed from thuggery and robbery.

34 Where I used to rob person after person, being disobedient, a criminal among criminals.

35 Jehovah’s powers fill me with awe; there is no one who does not know me in various towns because of my wickedness.

36 But today, by Jehovah’s power , I was removed from the deeds that caused me to live in prison.

37 Now I say this is my God who removed me from the troubles I had in the world forever. Amen.
