My Story

The story of my life is all about
the grace of God

Early Life

I will always approach God with same love and humility that his kindness and grace demands and ultimately evokes in me. My name is Pastor Aldridge Marufu and this is my life story, a testimony of everlasting providence. I was born and bred in the city of Harare, Zimbabwe. I was fortunate to have had an encounter of the supernatural power and love of God from an early age. My parents, especially my mother, a paragon of motherhood, were a devout Christians who paid attention to raise us up in the fear and knowledge of God. One’s personal spirituality was the foundation of the value of their task in life, whatever that might be. She would intonate, in order to be good at anything, you should first to be a good individual, in the spectrum of interpretation, it meant being a believer.

In my life God has specially smiled on me even though life like a river may be rerouted by natural barriers or by humanly formed divergences like ditches and dams but it eventually will reach the sea. My upbringing was in a prayerful household, notwithstanding as a youth I was misguided, mislead, and thought I was largely misunderstood. Whithersoever when it was time, God called me and anointed me for the work of the ministry of Pastoring. I started my ministry, City of Truth more than 15 years ago. One of the things God articulated without equivocation to me about my walk with Him in ministry was that He would always be with me, to support me, promote, protect, guide, endorse and establish me. For me the fight for the Gospel then as now was in the most direct way a fight for my own life and the work even if I justified it in terms of my duty to my God was very personal. I boldly and gladly made it my business that Jesus Christ be known everywhere, and people far and near be delivered.

Ministry

God speaks to the man who cares and caring includes sacrificing for the propagation of the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. Living up to the highest virtues of my calling I have given my all to my healing ministry which has seen the lamb, maimed, blind, duff and dumb, and others oppressed in diverse ways healed and transformed. I have seen the best of God, the part that is peaceful, loving, miraculous, and generous even warring. Demons on the point of burning going out running and the afflicted made free. The love of this God knows no bounds and He will go to straits to see His children free.

My passion in evangelism has seen the exponential expansion of my church from a few hundred in my early humble beginnings to an exceptional congregation of over five thousand today. I always tell people, be humble, stand still and you will see the goodness of the Lord. The same has been my experience, through patience, deference, and lowliness, God has afforded me the rarefied opportunity to ministry to huge assemblies of His children, among them highly esteemed members of society. It is an unquantifiable privilege to be assigned to His operations, in fact it is practically a great award being a preacher of the Gospel in these last days.

Family and life

In as much as He, my deeply loving God, has adorned me with truly illustrious success in the most magnanimous and noblest manner, my wife whom He gave to me is the epitome of blessing in my life. She is a gemstone in my success in life and ministry, I wouldn’t be half the man I am today without her. God has combined the best of both worlds; the resilient and the strategic with the gentle and the perennial. The two of us the conquerors, the world the workplace, God the champion, the devil the buffoon. Spirituality is devoir, it’s cultivation a matter of diligence and prudence. In her the laws of faith are self-evident, faith is the first measure of her worth and self-improvement is a every personal duty. She has brought love, joy, equanimity and comfort to me personally and quintessential mothering to my congregates. Together the Lord has blessed us with two wonderful children, boys. I have never seen so child like a nature paired with so enthusiastic and adamant a willpower to enjoy life. These kids bring me so much delight. I will always be thankful to God for what He has graced me with. I thank God more so for you my reader. I want to invite you to come and worship with us at City of Truth Church and your life will be transformed too. God bless you

Tenets Of My Faith

The Things That Make Up My Core Beliefs

1. The Trustworthiness of Scriptures

The Holy Scriptures as packaged in the Bible are absolute truths and are to be trusted as the Word of God given through the servants of God Almighty the Prophets and Apostles.

2 Timothy 3:15-17 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2. There is one true God, the Lord Jesus Christ

God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are one, the Trinity. I believe there is only one true God whom God the Father declare by the resurrection from the dead, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 43:10-11
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

Luke 3:22
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

Acts 2:22, 24
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

3. Conditions for Christian Salvation

In order for anyone to receive salvation professed in Christ they must accept that Jesus Christ dead for them and was raised from the dead and is alive today. Confess this truth with their own mouth and declare that Jesus Christ is Lord over their lives going forward.

John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Romans 10:9-10
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Luke 24:46-47
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

4. The Holy Spirit

I believe that all Christians should be filled with the Holy Spirit so that they can receive power to live the full Christian life here on earth. The Holy Spirit also brings the active presence of God into a believer's life.

John 14:26 AMPC
But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.

Acts 1:8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Luke 24:49
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

5. The Lordship of Jesus Christ

I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord over the world having obeyed God unto the death and afterward having been raised from the dead to be sitted at the right hand of God Almighty.

Philippians 2:8-11
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Ephesians 1:20-23
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Hebrews 12:23
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

6. Divine Healing, Health and Prosperity

God has given us our lives to enjoy. As a Christian you can't enjoy your life being poor, broken or sick. I believe it is every Christian's divine right to be prosperous, health and sound all the days of their lives.

3 John 1:2
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

1 Corinthians 3:21-22
Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;

Acts 9:33-34
And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

7. Global Evangelism

I have been called to preach the Gospel of God's salvation to all the world. First in my community, nation and beyond the borders around the world. All believers must be involved in today's end times world evangelism through preaching and financial partnership with Preachers of the Gospel.

Matthew 28:19-20
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Romans 10:14-15
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

1 Corinthians 9:16
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

8. Seed Faith

There exist glorious financial blessings in sowing seeds into the house of God. All life on earth shows that seed time and harvest will always exist. If you ever want an abundant harvest of anything, you must give something towards it. This is true in the physical and true also in the spiritual. Sow financial seeds, harvest financial yields.

Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Genesis 8:22
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Philippians 1:5 AMPC
[I thank my God] for your fellowship (your sympathetic cooperation and contributions and partnership) in advancing the good news (the Gospel) from the first day [you heard it] until now.

Philippians 1:6-7
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
