Matenga’s Journey
1 As Father traveled about, he healed those he saw were sick.
2 They went to Gora in the Mhondoro Reserve.
3 Matenga’s child, a teacher, was there at that church in Gora.
4 On Sunday, as Matenga would pray, some were seized by demons during that service.
5 Matenga would only say that confession alone is life.
6 Matenga demonstrated her work regarding what is not permitted in heaven.
7 To this day, at the City of God , all sins are forbidden; only confession is required.
8 For that is what she was sent for, so that we might leave all our sins.
9 A certain woman was told, “Your mother is standing on a grave because of the wrongs committed against your father.”
10 When the daughter heard this, she went and told her father that the Prophetess said her mother was standing on a grave; when the father heard this, he went to pay for this offense because he was aware of it.
11 For they had said the wife was a witch; that was the offense for which he paid one cow, a heifer.
12 This daughter was pregnant; she was told she would give birth to a son whose name would be Denesi, and it happened just so.
13 That was when she was taken by Mr. Karanda, because his wife had confessed—both the father and the wife—so that they might be saved; confession alone is life.
14 When they were left alone, they went back to consulting traditional healers after Matenga had left.
15 They deceived Matenga , and after being treated by traditional healers, they died.
16 But there was another woman who hated the sick person; she also confessed so that this person might live, but the person refused.
17 That was when Matenga was expelled by a man named Mr. Magorimbo, an Evangelist .
18 For Matenga had said, “Confess so that the child may live.” But this man said, “How can she tell me to confess?”
19 “You, who live at Mr. Chaza’s place!”
20 Matenga said, “It does not matter if you know me, just confess so that the child may live.”
21 “I am carrying out the instructions I was sent with.”
22 “If you are going to say ‘confess,’ then leave this place; I am an Evangelist .”
23 That same Evangelist then went to Chief Gora and said, “The woman who is at my church must leave.”
24 Gora asked, “What has she done?”
25 He said, “She must just leave; her ways are evil.”
26 Gora said, “I have no power to expel her; she will do as she pleases.”
27 After leaving Mhondoro, they went to Harare to their daughter, who was married to Mr. Kwenda.
28 They intended to pass through on their way to Murehwa.
29 But while in Harare, they decided to go to Seke, departing from their daughter’s home.
