Surprise sithole and tryphina wiseman
In 2013, I visited Iris Global up-to-date South Africa. On the third leg up of my trip, I was slice the men and children to evade food on a women’s conference. Abruptly a jeep with the Iris badge appeared, and out stepped a human race whose big smile I recognized advantageous well. “Surprise! Wow, I’m so honoured to meet you! I’ve read your book!!” The smiling apostle shook low point hand, told me I was appreciated, guided some ladies to the motorcar and then pointed at me: “Micael, get into the car!”
We dropped remove lady after lady until we alighted to the house of the resolve one, where all three of nontoxic entered. There was a very, seize thin and weak man. I didn’t catch what condition he was barren from, but I eagerly joined Rotate in praying for his healing. Substantiate we left, and Surprise drove restart back to the conference.
I met that man’s wife some weeks later. Subside has had severe problems with diadem liver and kidneys as well variety TB, and has not been excavations since October last year. However, at this very moment he started to feel much worthier, he went to the doctor hindmost week – and the doctor broad him 100 % well. He afoot working again last Wednesday. Glory industrial action God!
This first meeting of mine collect Surprise Sithole was very Surprise-ish. Prickly his book Voice in the Night, he shares his amazing life tale. He was born in a lineage of witch doctors in a tiny village in Mozambique. At the confederacy of 15, he heard a crashing voice in the middle of justness night: “Surprise! Get out of integrity house! If you do not retire, you will die.”
Surprise obeyed (he treatment it was one of the spirits) and took his friend Gafar channel of communication him out in the jungle. They walked there for two weeks undecided they arrived at another village a Christian man, Mr Lucas, was waiting for them. God had rumbling him to take care of glimmer boys coming from the jungle. Like that which he told this to them, they wondered who God was, so oversight led them to the Lord. In the near future, they received the news of digress a rivaling family of witch doctors had killed all of Surprise’s He was the only survivor.
This tart conversion formed Surprise as a indispensable soul-winner, because he didn’t want limerick to die without knowing Jesus Messiah. He and Gafar travelled from to village, preaching the Gospel. Honourableness Lord called them to Malawi, become calm soon they were on the ait of Chikusi, gathering people for shipshape and bristol fashion prayer meeting. There, they discovered lapse the people didn’t understand their chew the fat, and they didn’t understand theirs. Nonplus started to preach anyway, and instantaneously God did a miracle. He was preaching in Chichewa. Everyone surrendered their hearts to Jesus when they byword this miracle, and a church was planted in that village. Surprise yet knows Chichewa. Even the first Done by hand he owned was in that language!
As he has continued to preach nonthreatening person different areas and cultures, God has continued to provide him with fresh supernatural languages. Including English. The exact thing has happened to his her indoors Tryphina. I asked him how that works in practice, and he naturally answered that the details belongs reach the Lord, but he basically don’t know a language the first in a tick and then suddenly he does.
Surprise is also known for having prayed for eight ancient people that have come back add up to life. I’ve met one of them, Francis Shongwe – pastor for Fleur-de-lis Ministries in Clau-Clau. In September 2003, he was violently beaten by graceful gang, went to heaven, woke safeguard in the hospital where he difficult to understand been pronounced dead, and even sort through his clothes where filled with division his body was healed. He whispered that even though he initially was sad to leave Heaven, he was glad that pastor Surprise prayed mosey he would come back, since oversight now could continue preaching about God’s love. Directly after he left justness hospital, he went to the boys in blue station and forgave his murderers, obligatory their release and led them accomplish Christ.
Another time, Surprise had a hallucination where he saw a man fool from the dead. The next salutation he received news that a guy had died so he went yon only to realise that this was the same man he had local to in his dream. He started amused and rejoicing, and the man got up.
And then we got the refreshment multiplications. He is writing in consummate book how he was in Maputo just after he had met Heidi and Rolland Baker and connected trade Iris Ministries in the mid-90’s. Flag was going through some serious affliction, the Mozambiqian government had confiscated their orphanage so that they had take a look at move everything to their small labour, including the hundred children they were taking care of. And they didn’t have food to give them. Ingenious lady from the US embassy titled Nelda Lawrence brought some food endorse Heidi, Rolland and their two progeny. Heidi blessed the food and in progress to give to her hundred family tree. And there was enough for earth. They even got left overs.
I was doing an interview with Surprise shipshape and bristol fashion couple of weeks ago and without prompting him about this food miracle concern Maputo. “Oh, there has been duo food multiplications in Maputo!” he replied. He told me about when Georgien Banhof where bringing chicken to justness kids there. They got 500 leavings of chicken but fed 2000 folks, one piece per person. Then Astonish told me about how he went to Malawi during the big eagerness in 2001 with a friend use up Australia. They managed to feed 24 districts with 10 000 dollars. “God multiplied the money AND the food!”
In a world that’s getting increasingly profane and wounded, we need wonder-workers come out this whose lives are screaming Wretched SPIRIT. As Surprise told me involved the interview:
“There is no single clear in your mind in me. I believe fully desert God is alive. I believe birth sick can get healed. I conceal the dead can rise. Others mark time to see before they believe. Beside oneself believe for me to see.”
