Dear Friends of Zimbabwe,
I greatly respect and value your courage through the days that we have been living. I thank God for you and that you refuse to give up in the face of adversity. May the favour of our Lord shine upon you!
God’s glory was meant to be seen upon His people. We were made as containers of His glory! God has made a covenant with us through Jesus Christ the righteous. We were captive, but He set us free through Jesus. We were formerly enslaved to do the will of the devil and the flesh (which is our selfish desires.) We hurt people every day, intentionally and unintentionally. We were destructive in our thoughts, words and actions. We were corrupted people. We were people with Adam’s fallen nature. Now, through Jesus Christ, we have been given extended the hand of grace. He has commanded us to arise and throw off our robes of unrighteousness and to embrace His righteousness.
“I took your fallen nature upon Myself, when I died on the cross,” He says, “but My covenant is surpassing all your sins and failures. If you would, have faith and courage and exchange those things with Me, and I will give you glorious robes of righteousness and truth in the dark world in which you now live. Live in My promises. This is the covenant: I will take your sins and failures and give you Life, and Life abundantly. Uncloak yourselves of deceit and discouragement. Arise and Shine, for your light IS come! No longer should you live under the heel of suffering and pain, I have taken these too upon the cross. My promise is eternal, and it is of life abundantly. Come to Me all you who are hurting and wounded and I will give you rest from your labours. Seek first My kingdom and righteousness and all these other things will be added unto you.
“I give you favour and life abundantly. This is My covenant and it will never depart from you. As long as you honour Me and My words, you will abide in the light of My presence. I give you favour to stand firm in a dark day, and to shine as the lights of My glory to your family and friends.
“Don’t be discouraged. Arise and shine, and you will see My presence changing the world around you as you live in faith. Refuse to be discouraged! Discouragement is the enemy of hope and love. It is inverted and means you are looking at yourself and your circumstances. Faith comes from looking at Me and My presence. How can you be discouraged, when you are gazing into My presence and see all that I Am, and what I Am doing in your lives? Have faith and you will move the mountains of opposition around you. Then My glory will be seen in your lives and the truth of My word will now be living in you.”
Greetings Friends,
Here is another prayer request. Last week I had a dream of sitting at a the end of a large conference table. The presidential powers and cabinet members sat at the table. Members of each party took their sides. There was strong disagreement about how to write up the budgets and how to allocate spending in order to move the country forward. There was clearly an impass.
I would strongly suggest that we continue to pray for clarity in our economics and common agreement. i.e unity. It was been with much hard work of the leaders and hard prayer of the saints that has brought us this far. Let us continue to persevere in for them to forge a strong future for our country. Amen.
Although I was seated at the head of the table, this is rather symbolic of our placement as believers because of Christ Jesus. The Word says that we are seated in heavenly places where Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father. Imagine that! Christ has given us all authority to bring all things into subjection unto Himself. The word says this. We are His agents in this hour. Prayer to God is so powerful, because in it, you effectively petition the great King who sits at the head of the table. We may be physically present in Zimbabwe, or in SA, Japan, US, Britian etc. yet you are accessing Jesus who sits seated at the head of the table of the kings of the earth, together with you. Powerful isn’t it? Don’t loose your faith and hope! Look up into the stars at night and remember we serve a mightly King that responds to the faithful prayers of His saints and will move on behalf our our petitions.
Blessings in the Name of the Great King, Jesus.

A short message for this week, friends. I believe it is a matter for prayer of the saints. Lets keep the unity government uplifted. They are only as strong as our prayers make them. Pray for support through the power of Jesus Christ. When you pray in faith, and that faith is in God, you become a nation changer. Be a nation changer for Zim and realize that your prayers do count. Jesus said that if you have faith like grain of a mustard, you will speak to this mountain and it will be removed and cast into the sea. We are speaking to a mountain in prayer. We are not to be intimidated by the mountain, but to speak the truth to it, and command it to submit to Christ. Is there any mountain that the Lord says is too big??? It will never be the case. You are on the winning side and we are commanded by Christ to excerise our faith and love in this regards. Take courage and stand in the immovable foundation of Jesus Christ ! King of all kings and Lord of all lords.
I hear the Lord saying:
“The enemy wants to tear down the peace process and unity process. Even now, he is planting his plans to bring enmity and strife through the ruling groups. Mutiny is his plan, and to get the people to revolt. Pray for peace stability and security. Pray the Lord will take back the land for His glory (spiritually speaking).”
Read this prayer below, then pray it out loud with strength if you are agreement with it. It is a confession of our faith and authority in Jesus Christ in Zimbabwe:
“Lord, we pray for peace in our nation. We lift it up to You. We praise and declare you as our Lord. The First and the Last. The Author and Finisher! Please forgive our sins. We repent for the many sins of our land and for pride and rebellion against You. We repent and we are sorry. Restore us we pray. We speak and pray through the name and authority of Jesus Christ and command the powers of darkness to subside and be scattered over our government and peace process. We bind their work Father, and we release the power of Jesus Christ to create change, peace,holiness and stability within our Powerhouses. God, You are Lord. You have given unto us the keys of the kingdom and what we bind on earth will be bound in heaven and what we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. We obey you and touch the heart of the Father as we pray this. We prepare a throne for you Jesus, that you may rule and reign over and among us. We confess You as Lord of Zimbabwe. Thank You that a fire goes before You and consumes Your enemies round about! The enemy may be coming against us 1 way, but you are scattering him 7 ways!!!! This peace and unity process WILL NOT FAIL. IT WILL STAND AND BE A TESTIMONY TO THE POWERFUL NAME AND AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST. We speak Liberation, we speak reconciliation. We do not look back. We do not loose heart. We place our hands to the plough and move forward in the face of adversity having great expectation of what You have promised. We are on the winning side, and we announce to Satan and his minions that he will not win and that his day is DONE. We glorify You Jesus. We love You, we adore You and we are thankful that You are our King. All glory be to Your Name, forever and ever and ever. Amen!”
