Zimbabwe - A case for a Supernatural Transformation at all costs
26 Dec 2014 at 08:14hrs | Views
AS ZIMBABWE LEISURELY wander, ponder, regret and rejoice whilst in the closing stages of the ultimate phase of a hard fought year, thoughts of an ideal Zimbabwe have long evaded the mind of many citizens. At this moment in time, turning our minds to the Lord will set us free. In this season of Thanks-Giving, we shall continue to give praises and thank the Lord in everything about Zimbabwe for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you - 1 Thess 5:18
FATHER GOD, we want to thank you for sacrifices and Thanks-Giving
We thank you for that finished work: Jesus Christ.
We want to thank you for Salvation.
Redemption, and above all we thank you for Resurrection.
Lord we thank you for we are your Masterpiece; we indeed are Your Workmanship! – Eph 2:10.
We are what we are by your Grace; had it not been your Grace, we wouldn't be what we are.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit we Honour to you.
Shape us into instruments of God's Glory and God's Honour.
Shape us into instruments that promote and serve the Lord in this present world.
We dedicate, we commit every ounce of our being to you Oh Lord.
Take us, consecrate us to you, for your service Lord in this present world.
And make us realize that we are a sweet smelling savor to You.
Thank you for we are shaped for His Glory for you are the potter, with both hands on either sides creating and manufacturing the best in us. You are sweet oh Lord!
We thank you for your Word heals us; delivers us from destruction and it drives us to your Anointing that drives us free from bondage.
In Jesus' name!
As the year end is upon us, the festivity has gone into auto pilot mode. Do we have anything to celebrate? Without fear, favor or prejudice the nation has been through an administration that leaves a lot to be despised and les to be cherished. It's what programmers would correctly term a bad command prompt. Zimbabwe is increasingly looking like a distressed sunset with no dawn.
The multi formations and defragmentation of the MDC with many prefixes and the disintegration of Zanu Pf is a viral transition that is specifically intended to produce astonishingly confused and confusing propositions that are crying out for clarity about the status and fate of Zimbabwe's direction as far as democracy is involved.
The MDC can be excused for it was a collective Movement, an inclusive Movement that had many people with different agendas. Those who have remained are the REAL ones, and those who have relocated into political abyss were the ones with no DREAM to give Robert Mugabe a retirement package.
So as we close down another year, can someone in Zanu Pf tell me what they, as a bunch of crooks have democratically benefited Zimbabwe with; that is besides corruption and devaluation of the Motherland. One thing that Zimbabwe under Zanu Pf has benefited with is that we brought all beauty pageants accolades home: Miss-Appropriation of Funds; Miss-Management; Miss-Communication; Miss-Organization, Miss-Rule, Miss-Govern, Miss-Democracy and the list is endless!
Recently the MDC-T filed a motion in the High Court to recall those who had swam across its constitutional grain and went off radar, but the Zanu Pf controlled courts barred the notion of the motion for the Application. Don't they not know or have they not heard that constitutions are about principles and their consequences on the structure, organization and management of the relationship between the state, society and the individual?
Robert Mugabe and his Zanu Pf troopers suffer from an exaggerated case of self importance. What is the nation going to benefit from ZIMASSET, Indigenization and many other non-user-friendly-toxic-policies; Oh please Robert Mugabe and his old folks should give us a break by putting up or shutting up. In the meantime, what is clear from the foregoing, which neutral world and other spectator have found confused and confusing, is that there's something manifestly irrational about the outcome of the High Court ruling in that it boggles the mind. This is a travesty of justice. Whose justice? The voters of course!
The Zimbabwe we are living in right now is one that is corrupt and disregarding the word of the Lord. This is a time when we need social workers as compared to politicians; for social workers are there to benefit the society not themselves – Joseph Makamba-Busha of FreeZim Congress. This notion is so philosophical and profound. I believe that at one point this could be another extension and qualification of office in a new world order democracy.
Father in the Mighty name that is above all other names; we come before your throne of Grace to receive that which otherwise we would have not received as a nation; To receive that which will enhance our transformation into accomplishing our mission on here on earth. Guide us and richly bless Zimbabwe! We thank you Jesus for you will continue doing extraordinary things in our lives.
Zimbabwe needs a transfiguration for a supernatural transformation. For this to take place, we need to be in a place where God wants us to be. The nation needs to align itself with God's will and there will be a supernatural transformation. This is a time when the country needs to be on its knees praying to God for a total transfiguration and a supernatural transformation.
Collectively as a country there are things that we have received, not in the spirit of the world, but in the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. We are guaranteed special things by divine design as a nation, but there has to be a transformation into the spiritual realm first for the flesh cannot receive things of the spirit and vice-versa – 1 Cor 2:12-13.
Through the help and assistance of the Mighty Men and Women of God in the country, there is a dire need for a total incubation in the Word of God in our hearts. The true Word of God has to percolate the hearts of many, the hearts of everyone so that there will be edification, exhortation, and comfort. We indeed are the Peters of today, the rock upon where the Lord will build his church – Matt 16:18. Edification entails that we will be built together with Jesus and no prophecy is there for destruction, but all prophecy from God is for edification – building.
As the rock, before we get built in Him, we need to start fixing our foundations that have lost their originality in Christ. The foundation has to go deep; for the higher we intend on building is automatically determined by how deep we go. Jesus came from heaven to earth to show the way, and he was nailed on the cross, and was buried in the lower parts of the earth. The same Jesus Christ who went down is the same who went up far over all the heavens so that he might make all things complete - Eph 4:9-10.
The mistake people are doing is digging foundations of the Spirit on earthly gods. Earthly foundations are weak and to add insult to injury the nation is busy renovating what is factory fault! The blind in spirit are leading in the spiritual warfare, it's all darkness and all the foundations of the earth are out of course! We need a renewal of the mind, a new focus as a country and we will be saved from the impending destruction – Ps 82:5. Jesus gave us Grace, the Grace from gifts to equip ourselves and build. We are gifted to build ourselves – Romans 12: 1-3.
With all due respect to the Mighty Men and Women of God who have manifested God's love through signs and wonders, Zimbabwe needs a miracle, just ONE! It needs politicians who love and know God. Instead of politicians scheming in parliament and killing one another, Zimbabwe needs a parliament where during a budget speech, the minister starts speaking in tongues; where the president is a man of God; where every lawmaker is born again, where Joseph Chinotimba is a real 'Madzibaba', where Nelson Chamisa is a deacon and Jonathan Moyo is a prophet! People who know and love God always will always do what is better for the society for there is no selfishness in Jesus Christ.
Through prayer, there will be a restoration. There is an optimism of grace; a remnant shall return. Whatever the nation is going through, it will come to pass and the Lord will send His Spirit on all flesh; and the sons and daughters of Zimbabwe will be prophets, and her old men will have dreams whilst young men will see visions - Joel 2:28.
Zimbabwe needs a Daniel to interpret the times and seasons. A person with the ability to discern times for it will be useless to build when the Lord is sowing and the opposite is true. The seasons are always changing and the nation needs to watch where it stands with God. Let those who have special powers from above discern the season for Zimbabwe.
The time has come for the nation to be circumcised from its canal tendencies. It is the season of being spiritual. The common of them sins, like adultery, prostitution and fornication actually create a barrier between us and God and they deflect the blessings back to the Lord.
I am no saint. I have hurt many young, innocent and sweet girls' hearts. I have promised one-two-few-many girls that I would grow old with them when my mind, body and soul was somewhere else. This is a sin and I have transformed. The punishment I received from my sins was hurting the one whom I loved and cared about the most, the ONLY one who loved me got hurt, and it is unbearable; But by God's grace I am a solid man who is after God's heart taking a day as it comes. To all young people out there, stay away from premarital sex for there are many physical, emotional, deadly and toxic dangers associated with it.
To those in politics, church, government and wherever you might be, be faithful to yourself and to God Almighty. We all know the rules. I have done my fair of fornication and many other sins, and I have repented and humbly asked for God's forgiveness. Lets all transform and be pure before God. Knowing God for who He is the biggest gift I have received, and if we all know God and abide by His command, we will all be blessed as a nation.
Together we can transform and save Zimbabwe. Spiritual warfare is neither partisan nor discriminatory or sexist. It is no longer a political battle for Morgan Tsvangirai alone. Robert Mugabe and Zanu Pf are no longer the only enermy. We, as individuals are number one enermies to the situation that Zimbabwe finds herself in. We need to conquer ourselves first as individuals, and then as a nation at large. Every Zimbabwean has to be involved for we all want the best for her.
Have a meaningful Festive season that is characterized by giving, caring and showing love to those in need.
When we pray as a nation, our prayers will be heard for there is influence and positive power in corporate prayer.
Let God take over!
Free Zimbabwe!
Yes we can have a new Zimbabwe with EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL!!!
Merry Christ-mass!
May God richly Bless you!
,and lastly Happy Birthday to me!
AMEN!
