Umama Laizah Tayali The Unsung Heroine: The Miraculous Journey of a True Soldier of God
Born in 1925, uMama Laizah Tayali embarked on a journey that would change lives forever. Her path to greatness began on March 3, 1955, when she joined Guta Ra Mwari. With a troubling headache and a challenge that seemed insurmountable - her inability to produce breast milk. Yet, in a miraculous turn
of events, her struggles ceased, and her journey as a devoted soldier of God began.

The Power of Faith and Miracles
The Heroine Laizah Tayali's story is woven with threads of faith, courage, and the power of prayer. Her dedication to God was unwavering, and her heart overflowed with love and compassion. On 31 January 1961, a night that would be etched in history forever, something extraordinary happened during one of
their usual prayer sessions. The Holy Spirit descended into the Second Holy Host, and the voice of God spoke through him, saying, "Sengiphenduke yimi uNkulunkulu wezizwe zonke, vuka senze umsebenzi waMi".
God having revealed himself through the 2nd Holy Host she was courageous throughout. Even though she was mocked by others saying “Your God that you keep in your home”. (Combine Volumes: 1).
She continued to attend services even though she was hated. She obeyed God's words, which says, “Akula sifuyo esingathi “ungangenzinjalo” kumini waso uma esefuna ukusithengisa loba ukusibulala. Umnikazi wesibaya uyakhetha esimjabulisayo”. (Combine Volumes: 1).

Every parent knows the immense pain of a child's suffering. It hurts. It's heart-breaking. It's traumatic. It's not easy. In the (Combine Volumes: 1) it says on a certain Thursday, the Heroine Laizah Tayali returned from the Thursday service and heard a commotion coming from R Square and it was Ania and Phoebi who were being beaten. After changing from the holy armour she then headed to where the commotion was coming from, Phoebi had been struck on the neck that had Heroine Laizah Tayali delayed Phoebi would have died. She accepted this and looked forward. She never gave up. She portrayed true courage and humbleness.

The Ripple Effect of Positive Speech
As we delve deeper into the Heroine Laizah Tayali's remarkable life, we discover from Combined Volumes: 466 the profound impact of positive speech. Her portrayal of Mary, Jesus' mother, in a school play foreshadowed her future role in bringing forth us the children of promise.
A Legacy That Lives On
When they were preparing to go to the Promise service, Evangelist B.B Chimoto said the 2nd Holy Host asked with whom the child will remain with? They were surprised because they expected the child to stay with her grandmother (Mama Laizah Tayali). He asked again, but Evangelist B.B. Chimoto noticed that as they passed people on the road those who were on bicycles would dismount and would remove hats
as if a car passing was carrying a corpse. This was strange, but he dismissed it. Even after the service had ended the Heroine Laizah Tayali, was seen sitting among the people, which was very unusual.
When she returned home, she collapsed and was taken to the hospital. Upon arrival at the hospital, she had already passed away, still dressed in the Holy Armour. Evangelist B.B Chimoto said when the news were shared , the 2nd Holy Host said “Livele latshona lingelaye”. It became clear that the question they had been asked in the morning about with whom the child would remain with was because the Heroine Laizah Tayali was going to pass away. It was already seen in spirit. He also noticed that the people dismounting from their bicycles was a sign that the Heroine Laizah Tayali had departed. It became clear to them that she had already left them even before her departure.

The Heroine Laizah Tayali passed away on the 9th of February 1975. Her final resting place is the sacred mountain of Gurure in Nyazura. May her humble, loving, brave, prayerful spirit live in each of us may her
memory be instilled within us as we strive to be more like her in our everyday lives. As we mark 99 years since her passing, we eagerly await 2025 - the centenary year of her remarkable life and impact.
Forever.
