ARE YOU PARALYSED?

This really spoke to me at the Keswick Convention, especially as there have been many times during and since leaving Agape that I have felt 'paralysed'; cut off from God, walking down a dark, scary and unknown path.  But...
God has not forgotten me (or you) and I know that I have some truly amazing friends who have continually brought the light of the Lord into my darkness and reminded me that the darkness has been conquered - Jesus is the victor and no-one and nothing can ever change this.

I pray that you will be blessed and reassured that no matter how dark things are at this time, you have a friend first in Jesus and I too hold my hand out for those who wish to grab on as we walk on our journey of faith...

Sermon of the Pigs....

My husband and I have just returned home after going to Keswick Conference in the Lake Districts; we were blessed by various speakers giving us the Word of God.  I am always amazed at how God answers prayer as I have been praying for true teaching of some of the so called Sermons Dr Masocha gave.  I can still hear and see Dr Masocha say 'Am I preaching good?' What normal preacher says this?

I am going to share with you Dr Masocha's 'teaching' on what he calls the Pigs.  And the teaching from Ivor Poobalan from Sri Lanka on the same section of Scripture.  I pray that this will show how poor Dr Masocha's knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures is...

I give thanks to Ivor for the most awesome teaching and the blessing he brought to those at Keswick.

THE RAMBLINGS OF AN OLD WOMAN...

I would like to thank the lady for sharing this very insightful information with us...

Most of you know that Water Masocha's mother was here early this year and was at the Agape services laying hands on the 'Agaped sheep'. On her flight home, she befriended a lovely lady who has never had any association with Agape who on her return from Zimbabwe researched and gave me some unbelievable stuff about her encounter with Walter's mum aka Gogo Agape.

Commissioner Hedwig & Gogo Masocha

Attache Caroline (Stirling) & Gogo Masocha

She wrote everything as recorded in Shona:

I met this old lady who had about 4 layers fo clothes on her. She advised me she had connected her flight from new york. I knew that the flight had not connected and she told me her son  owns new york, it then transpired that the son has a house cosinewyorkin scotland.I will write most of the conversation as it went

'Ndiri kubva ku newyork kwemwana wangu.Umba yake cosinewyoki hombe cahizo.Ini ndine mwanwa wang akaita rombo rakanaka akatorwa nevarungu vakamupinza chikoro. Varungu vakazomudana kuno kuti apedzise chikoro. Saka akatanga chechi yake agape ikakura ikaita mukurumbira pasi rese. Ndakambovuya varungu vaive vazere vachimuunganira mwana wangu vachimunamata asi iye zvino chechi yaparara hamuchina arimo. Pandakambovuya ndakarongedzegwa madrum masuitcase aisafema nembahla asi gwendo guno ndangopiwa tumonarch tuiri badzi. Vanhu havazivi kuti dambudziko rose mukadzi wake. Mwana wangu akanditaurira kuti mhai mukadzi airamba kukwirwa pabonde saka chechi yacho yaive izere mvana dzisina varume saka semunhu wemurume aingono rapira shungu kumvana idzi. Vanhu havazivi kuti mukadzi uyu hunhu hwaanoratidza hausirihwo.Anonyepera humai as mweya uri paari hausiwo bodo.Handina kumugamuchira nekuti yaive mvana ine vana vaviri yaingopinda pinda uyu aive nemukadzi wake nemwanakomana paakaita chihure ichi.Vanhu vapera muchechi vachiti mhosve ndeyemwana wangu asi indva yemukadzi. Mwana wangu ndiye azonditi mhai virikidzai hembe nekuti mukadzi akaoma moyo iyeye, wanga asingadi kuti nditore mbahla.Pandakambovuya chechi yose yakandipa mari nezvinhu ndikatosiya zvimwe asi iye zvino haa hamuchina arimo, chechi yauraiwa nemukadzi uyu.Akachatisa mwana wake ndipo pakatanga vanhu kubuda ipapo.Yokubhinya vanin'ina vemukadzi, varamuka saka hazvinandaa nekuti uyu mukadzi akamutora iri mvana ine vana vayo saka wakapindira varamu'

Business or Church?

After some research I have found out how the beginnings of Agape did not start through lying prostrate in St Andrews, it was a business venture not a new vision for a new generation, as sold by Dr Masocha. There was nothing new at all as everything was copied and pasted from FIF. Even to when conferences are held!  We can see the similarities even from the fliers that are produced for conferences/special events.

AAs we already know Dr Masocha attended FIF before going his own way and starting the 'movement' of Agape. In FIF Dr Masocha who preached in Agape that the Holy Spirit interrupted his former leader ( in a David/Samuel sort of mission from God) actually sought and begged for leadership without the qualifications. In FIF one of the requirements for Pastorship is a bible school qualification which he didnt and still doesnt have.Once qualified and appointed, a pastor needed to be full time with no secular job.  Dr Masocha caused a stir among the qualified leadership after he was ordained and demanded for a full pay but kept his post at the university. The church became divided and there arose some resentment (rightfully so) among the qualified leaders seeing as Dr Masocha became so puffed up and belittled his qualified colleagues at every opportunity parading his David kind of 'anointing'.

Dr Masocha in actual fact (unbeknownst to the real pastors) had duped his former leader by leading him into believing he would bring a lot of white people into the fold. He led the founder of his former church to believe that the white Scottish people had never heard of an elder and didn't understand what an elder was and that if he became a pastor they would understand. Dr Masocha in actual fact duped his former leader by leading him into believing he would bring a lot of white people into the fold. It is further alleged that Dr Masocha's womanising and paedophilia behaviour increased; and even raped a young girl who became pregnant and ended up having an abortion, signed for by Dr Masocha who then in one of his most evils acts, named one of his young innocent sons as the perpetrator (The family of this girl now get payouts as silencing money,shops and posh cars). Those who who were gullible and didn't know the behind the scenes facts were lied to and led to hate other leaders believing they were persecuting Dr Masocha.

Because of these allegations, Dr Masocha was called to a meeting from the head people of FIF to answer to these allegations, and to be disciplined and was asked to step down as a pastor.  This happened the week prior to one of FIF big events and in his pride, bitterness,embarrassment and mostly unrepentant attitude, he started Agape that very weekend. The new 'vision' was birthed. 

As with every venture there need to be investors and on board was Charles, Ian McHardy and Maxwell the paedo. Charles and Ian  invested a considerable sum, but the agreement was that Agape would only be based in Scotland.

There was a man Charles who now came up with the idea of starting a church that would be based only in Scotland and had a vision of purchasing a house and using it as church, offices and home for the 'persecuted' pastor. Charles knew the housing market and was able to find Cosy Neuk for Dr Masocha at a reasonable price, and it was through his passion, he found Cosy Neuk (that's why there was never a testimony) which Dr Masocha and Jezebel Judith wanted saints to believe was a miracle. Things soured between them when Dr Masocha in his greed and roving eye for babies and women of all types started expanding taking Agape into England, Africa etc.  Charles wanted out of this venture now and approached him for getting his investment back; only to be told he couldn't have it! Dr Masocha in his true form of divide and rule, had won over the other team members and turned them against Charles, just like he did in FIF.

Ian McHardy also invested into the Agape venture, with money that he received as an inheritance.  This explains why he is in control of the finances as he doesn't want to lose his investment.  Ian went from being the Youth Envoy to being only on the board as when his wife left they started to attend another church together.  Ian still shows up at Agape's main events and so has each foot in different worlds, so to speak!

Maxwell was vulnerable and out of work after his arrest for sexual assault, when he was approached by Dr Masocha to do the media of Agape.  He was told what to film and what to edit from the DVD's so there can be no come back, or evidence of misappropriate conduct; eg. Asking for money; the time when he told people that they were healed and should stop taking their medication, which lead to disastrous consequences. (I have watch many of the DVD's looking for these incidences but they have been deleted.) It is alleged that Maxwell was told by Dr Masocha to not worry about getting accommodation as he would be travelling through out the country doing the media, so he went from house to house of those within Agape.  He pleaded poverty and never gave anyone a helping hand when staying with them, however, he was getting money from the sale of DVD's. Maxwell has also reinvested some of this money back into Agape as an investment.

To me it sounds as if this was planned as a business venture as if it was of God, God would have made a way for this movement to start without all these people putting large amounts of money down.  Also, why would God grow his church in such a disjointed way where there were only two or three meeting together, costing these few people to pay for everything?   In fact every Satellite (Church) had to fund their own venue, and any other expenses.  Not one leader was paid by Agape and if there were any shortages it normally fell upon them.

I can remember when Dr Masocha was coming to visit our Satellite there were things that needed to be bought for him to use during the service and a meal for after.  For example: Nivea cream; Vaseline; mints; mouth freshener; cloths and specific bottled water chilled to the right temperature.  If he had a break during preaching, all these things would need to be exchanged for new.  Mind you, people wanted the open ones because they were 'blessed' because the 'man of god' had used them!

The meal prepared for Dr Masocha and his wife was different to that of anyone else, and it went down the pecking order as the Envoys and Evangelists were given a better meal that the normal attendee of the church. The price of one of these days cost my husband and I £500 to cover all expenses; even though this was a lot of money for us to use, it was what was expected of us to do and we were so blind we paid it happily!!!

I will go on the next time about what some of this business venture has paid for........

(I have not forgotten the other items mentioned... they are still works in progress)

MASOCHA'S INTRODUCTION BY MCHARDY

Going through so many DVD's the one thing that is common and now I find sickening is the ways that Dr Masocha is introduced.  He is idealised to the point of being a 'god' and they focus on what is commonly known as the 'Five Fold Ministry'.  Have a watch and see...

The Five Fold Ministry comes from Ephesians 4:11; 'It was he who gave some to be:

1. Apostles
2. Prophets
3. Evangelists
4. Pastors
5. Teachers

When we read the verse take note of: some to be; no one person is to have all the gifts.

I found the following explanation, it is well worth the read and gives a better understanding in what the verse is talking about.  Remember if you are not sure what is happening in your church to be right, turn to God/Jesus and His word to find the answers; do not rely solely on man.

The Madness of Titles!

I saw this posted on my Facebook page and thought it rather apt for the times we are living in as so many men of God (?) want more and more titles; I am not sure if it gives them self importance or is it used to dupe vulnerable people into following them.  Probably both!

We are able to see this with Dr Masocha as he started gathering more and more titles... (this is before the Archbishop naming)

by: Johan Daniel Rich & friends

What is this obsession some church leaders have with labelling themselves with lofty titles and dodgy accolades? Apostle bishop Proudmouth is sharing a platform with Prophet pastor Moneygrab and Evangelist elder Selfpump and the bill also features Rev Doctor Tritetrot and Doctor Deacon Pseudoheal. Come on guys, maybe I should start introducing myself as Educator Lifecoach Rich and tack on a few of these plastic doctorates as well. If you're leading a strong growing and vibrant work of God he will ensure that you are duly rewarded and honoured and he will show you ways of promoting HIS work in ways that honour HIM. This publicity stunt stuff is silly especially in the hands of amateurs.

 It's just a thought, but the Gospels seem to indicate that Jesus favourite reference to himself was "the son of man" (basically, "a guy like you"). He occasionally demurred to being called rabbi (teacher) which was not a particularly high status honorific but there is no record of him using it himself in self-reference and on at least one occasion he rejected it. He also never directly seemed to refer to himself as the anointed one (Christ/Messiah) or the son of David, although he sometimes led others to draw that inference and did not reject the attributions.

Maybe a case of 'fooling most of the people most of the time' even if amateurish.

The unfortunate reality is big titles fill empty minds... People are so desperate for substance and a manifestation of God's power in their own lives,and too many speakers attempt to fill that need (and their pockets) with prosperity gospel and other 'pseudothruths'...

Rich, I totally agree. :<)

LOL . . . totally agree . . . If this was on a page we could tag some ministries, unfortunately they wont see it from here 

I did some investigation. You can grab yourself a DDiv for under a $100 US. In fact, the postage us more expensive than the "degree".However, it's a DD "honoris causa" (oxymoronic if ever there was) and so, properly, you do not add the honorific to your name. But if you're a "poseur", that won't matter, will it?

I do believe that as we are approaching the end times as many prophecies are being fulfilled.  These people are wolves in sheep's clothing and we need to be wary of them, as they will and do use scripture but it is twisted to their own agendas.

STILL TO COME:
Confessions of an EE and others mentioned before......
(We are working as quick as we can in gathering information, pls be patient as we have lives away from the blog)

Blog, finances and more.......

Having been working with some people to obtain information about 'He is still my dad' blog, to discover who has been the director of the information on it.  Even though we know it was not actually written by Dr Masocha it is clear that he is the one who is behind it.

So... it appears that Dr Masocha has got a new phone and number to 'hide' behind to keep an eye on the blogs and what people were contributing.  The Agape people were told that he was not available by phone, yet he has used Judith's phone and also this new phone. Judith's phone was used to call the 'chosen' within Agape but you can see from the new phone's bill pictured below that he raked up a massive amount of internet time.

We now have proof that Judith gets a salary and that Agape pays a pension plan for her each month, and that she also pays into it.  We were always told that they only got a pittance and love offerings...... these guys were milking our money and using money that was given as tithes which is to be used for doing God's work.  Unbelievable......

What do we have here?  Looks like there has been some action on this Barclays account in America.  Sadly, we can only speculate why this account has been used to draw funds.  Are they feeling the pinch now with so many people having left and some still leaving?

Hands up... how many of you know that Dr Masocha has sold his Jaguar? He always made out that he loved that vehicle and kept it in pristine order; so why now to sell?  I was also told that he doesn't update his details with many of his bills still going to Forth Park.  Depending on which ones (wish I knew them) it can be illegal not informing the relevant authorities!

Again money meant for the Lord's work is getting used - this time to pay for parking fines!!!  The person driving the vehicle regardless that it is an Agape vehicle should be responsible for these fines, but then it is a media vehicle and who is incharge of media - Maxwell, and he has been involved with the Agape scam right from the very beginning!

As I dig and speak to many people I continually am shaking my head at what I am finding out! This church is more of a business to make money for the elected! I will be bringing more information of this at a later date.  Please be aware that there is a lot of time and effort in doing this...... plus more importantly..... I have a life outside of blogging and digging for this information!
