In His Hands International Bible College

TESTIMONY OF PROFESSOR PHILLIP MATINGWINA I was born in Zimbabwe and at the age of 17, God called me into the ministry of evangelism through prophecies of many Christian leaders. After completing my "O" and "A" level education, God wanted me to serve Him in the church and l refused.  A.F.M (Apostolic Faith Mission) church wanted me to go and study theology in Living Waters Seminary and still l refused by diverging to another college with a mission of studying Automotive Engineering. After enrolling for Automotive Engineering l then decided to change the course to study marketing management Diploma. After finishing my Diploma of marketing management, nothing was going well in my life because l was just like Jonah who was sent to Nineveh and went to the opposite direction - Tarshish. There was a big tension of my own desire and God's call. God then continued coming to me through visions. I had a vision of seeing myself following a rainbow from where it started on earth up to in heaven, where l was instructed to come back and minister the gospel to the lost sheep of God. l descended straight into the church which was full of members from all over the world. After some days God showed me another vision of 3 white doves resting on my forehead. The visions continued consecutively in different ways and l was very burdened until l consulted one of AFM (Apostolic Faith Mission) pastors for help. Still God continued with His plan of sending me and showed me another vision of a moon surrounded by 12 shining heads of Jesus Christ's apostles. And finally, God came to me in the form of a sun, in this vision l tried by all means to runaway but still the sun was coming to me very fast. Then the sun covered my face and disappeared. And after that wherever direction l looked there was light which was making darkness to disappear. It took a long time for me to accept my calling. *God called me in 3 different ways: 1 Through prophecies of other Christian leaders. 2 Through visions. 3 Through circumstances and situations.  At first l ignored what pastors were saying and what was coming to me through visions by giving a lot of excuses as a way running away from God's work, but God finally used situations until l accepted the call. It was exactly the time when l started to realize that there is someone who have been ruling before creation of everything and this Person have to rule my life as well if l am to be a child of God. I believe that God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is a King without beginning and end.  l then surrendered my life to the King Jesus Christ in 2008 so that l can be in His Kingdom as His servant (that was discovering Christ and His Kingdom in my life). I do not just regard Christ as the iKng of the universe, but also as King of my life. Realizing that l have to repent, submit to Christ, and live for God is part of "DISCOVERING CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM" and this is where the title of this course originated. Since 2008, many churches in Zimbabwe and in South Africa started inviting me in their crusades and according to reports, lives of many people were being transformed after my services of evangelism. I believe God has called and anointed me before I was born to share the good news about my Savior (Christ) tirelessly. "Before l formed you in the womb l knew you, and before you were born l consecrated you, l appointed you a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5  Assurance in my salvation and ministry is directly related to my confidence in Jesus Christ. I know that I am saved because I am confident in Jesus Christ. 1 John 5:13 Being so confident about my effort in salvation and ministry sounds arrogant. If my confidence was in myself, my works, and my accomplishments, I would be arrogant. However, my confidence is in the person, the works, and the accomplishments of Jesus Christ, not myself. I place all of my confidence in Him because I have no confidence in my ability to get into heaven or to work for the Lord. Moreover, I know I would not be able to sustain any effort on my part to secure my salvation and my ministry. However, I know that Jesus’ efforts will endure perfectly forever. I would like to humble myself saying my effort is too little in the works of God, so l thank God who is doing all the great work through me. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13 I hope you will enjoy and benefit through these lessons. God bless you, Amen.
