How to Make it Through the Winter Seasons of Life

About the Book

This book places the day-to-day challenges of life in a biblical setting and shows how the application of biblical principles is timeless. By drawing lessons from the life of Joseph, a teenager who was sold into slavery and later became a Prime Minister in Egypt; it is shown that the road to success is not always a red carpet. The presence of trials and temptations does not nullify God’s glorious plan for people. What we go through are mere seasons, without God the seasons can prolong and become curses. However, when we involve God, even the worst of seasons end up bright and sunny:

Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it. And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun. (Psalm 37:5-6)

The book equips and empowers readers to successfully navigate through the storms of life. It enlightens readers on the common pitfalls found in life and highlights the basic necessities to take with on the journey called “Success”:

• The need to forgive people
• Possessing a clear vision
• Godly convictions
• Hard work
• Faith in God

The book also gives a positive perspective of hard times in life. One can apply the unchanging truth of the Word of God to a changing world. The message in this book: no matter what you go through, you can come out of it and even make it to your “palace”. God may start small, but He never does small things. When He created you, He had greatness in His mind. Don’t give up; your winter season will soon be over. Your decision will cause the situation to make you a better person, not a bitter person.

About the Author

Kudzi Mawire is the former International Pastor in Betel Pentecostal Church, Trondheim Norway, and a teacher at Trondheim Bible Mission School. He co-pioneered the International work in this church in 1998. Together with his wife Margrate, they were ordained in 2002 as the first International pastors of Betel, Trondheim.

During his pastoral work in Trondheim, Kudzi saw the International work grow to having over 40 nationalities represented in the Sunday services, and the planting of a branch church. Accordingly, his pastoral experience crosses cultural, racial religious and ethnical boundaries. Over the years he has seen the power of God’s Word consistently setting people free from all sorts of bondages, irrespective of their backgrounds. It is from this perspective and by the grace of God that he writes this book.

In 2006 the Lord opened a new door for Kudzi and his family to move to Sheffield, UK, where he is working and serving the Lord. Kudzi and Margrate are blessed to have two daughters, Rejoice Ropafadzo and Loving-Grace Rumbidzaishe.
