King Zimunya Makes a Request

1 King Zimunya saw Matenga’s truth , and the great number of the people,

2 He went to the district official to request more days so that Matenga could continue her work for a while, because people were continually coming for salvation alone.

3 Some of the elders who had come with him were offended when they heard the King’s words.

4 Because they were thinking that it was a matter of the flesh; yet what is of the flesh is of the spirit.

5 They said, “We are leaving now,” because they were offended by it.

6 They wanted to be saved alone, not considering that she did not come for one person but she came for everyone, so that they might be saved spiritually and physically. See the Letter of John 6:61-67.

7 That is when Matenga said, “I have seen a fire in the City ,” from Mabvuku reaching to National, as those are the names of the City .

8 Coming from the east and going to the west.

9 It then happened just like that at her City .

10 Matenga spoke while standing in the midst of her congregation .

11 An evil spirit increased greatly, pressuring Matenga , saying, “Let us go.”

12 Matenga said, “My time to leave had not yet come for me to go.”

13 “Nevertheless, I will go, because the spirit is no longer in harmony with Matenga .”

14 Matenga was not pleased with this at all.

15 When she was about to leave, she stood in front, in the midst of her people, and said to King Zimunya, “Do not weep.”

16 “After a few days, I will remember you,” and then she left.

17 When she arrived at Murapa’s hotel, she met a blind woman who was pregnant, and she immediately gave birth to a baby girl; they were very happy.

18 After she left, she arrived at Rusape where a very great multitude of people had gathered, waiting for Matenga and her people.

19 She left after offering a prayer there.

20 She passed through, going to her City in Seke.

21 Where she had left the City alone, she saw again a great congregation waiting for her; they had been thirsting for Matenga during her travels.

22 They had been waiting there until she arrived.
