In all we do in the name of Church, nothing can substitute the presence of God. Ask Moses and he will tell you that he refused to move one step without the very presence of God. Be a man/woman of prayer.
We are in the season of seeking God. All we need is the presence of God and not to be present before God. One day, even Satan stood before God when the sons of God gathered.
A Muslim told me,
“Jesus’ crucifixion never happened, and you cannot find any historical evidence outside Christianity to prove it.”
So I said,
“Okay, I don’t believe Muhammad existed. There is no historical evidence outside Islam that proves his existence.”
He immediately said,
“Hold on! Let me show you non-Islamic sources that prove Muhammad existed. Christian and Byzantine writers mentioned a prophet among the Arabs.”
I asked him,
“Do you actually believe those sources?”
He said,
“💯 Absolutely.”
I said,
“Okay, then let’s apply the same standard to Jesus. There are also historical sources outside Christianity that mention Jesus’ crucifixion.
Tacitus, a Roman historian who was certainly not a Christian, wrote that Jesus was executed under Pontius Pilate.
Josephus, a Jewish historian who was not a Christian either, also wrote about Jesus and his followers and referred to his execution.
So, do you believe these sources?”
He said,
“Errrmm… I don’t believe! Christians made those sources up, the Quran says Jesus wasn’t crucified, so I believe the Quran.”
And that’s where the double standard becomes obvious.
I said,
“By that same logic, I don’t believe Muhammad existed and Muslims made up the non-Islamic sources about Muhammad to convince people he existed.”
He said:
“I have something to stand on. The Quran is my proof that Jesus was not crucified.”
I said,
““I also have something to stand on, the Bible and the four Gospels, which were written long before the Quran by eyewitnesses and those who knew the eyewitnesses. The Bible clearly records that Jesus was crucified and rose again.”
Then came the response: “See, allah made it appear that way. The Bible has been corrupted over time.”
So I said:
“I don’t accept the Quran as a source that overrides the earlier testimony about Jesus, especially when Muhammad did not meet Jesus or His apostles. The Bible is sufficient evidence for my faith that Jesus was crucified and resurrected.
You cannot ask me to accept non-Christian historical sources when they support Muhammad’s existence, while rejecting non-Christian historical sources when they support Jesus’ crucifixion simply because the Quran says otherwise.
You’re applying one standard to Muhammad and another standard to Jesus.
That’s a double standard.”
@daddyhope Hopewell, while we respect your constitutional right to speak negative about the Zimbabwe government, you still need to be objective if you are to be taken serious. The capacity of the ferry is said to be 90 not 45.
@CMukungunugwa If we say the Nyaminyami is angered that's why the ferry sank, what about people the other side of the lake? Does only Zimbabwe people connect with the spirit excluding the Zambians?

When the favour of God is upon a person, it is always evident. Check the life of Joseph, Ruth or even Esther. I declare this favour upon upon you today.
When people like Father Fidelis Mukonori speak, the wise listen.
For those who understand the birth of the Second Republic in 2017, its story cannot be told without mentioning Father Mukonori. He played a significant role as part of the negotiation and mediation process during that historic transition.
His support for CA3 should therefore not be viewed as merely a statement or political stance. It reflects the perspective of a man who has witnessed critical moments in Zimbabwe’s history and understands the importance of peace, unity, stability, and development.
When an elder who has walked through history speaks about the future, it is worth listening.
Churches should encourage people in nation-building rather than unnecessary demonstrations.
Thank you, Father F. Mukonori, for the patriotic work you are doing for our motherland, Zimbabwe.
This next half of the year is not for coming up with a new resolution but to move with speed on your January list of resolutions. May the Holy Spirit remind you of your resolutions.
Sex is more sacred than our culture often admits.
It is a God-given, life-producing gift,not something to treat casually.
When we understand its purpose, we learn to honor it according to God’s design. 🙏✨

🔸Back in 1987 when the Constitution was amended to allow for the direct election of the President, Edison Zvobgo made a compelling case for direct election. He observed that this direct election process was core to “one man, one vote” and denounced the notion of a parliamentary executive as being divorced from the people.
It’s a pity @ZANUPF_Official no longer has intellectual muscle of this caliber. They cannot even have a sound cerebral debate. Varikubatirana pfuti nekunyima vanhi secret ballot in their desperation to rail road a brainless amendment that will ruin the remaining embers of our democracy.
They’ve been reduced to mbingarism, cash for votes and cars for loyalty. They leave their brains at the door. Intellect has been replaced by paid trolls who flip flop according to the highest bidder. Of it’s not paid activism, then it’s a predatory elite that’s stolen so much they’re consumed by the pandemic of conspicuous consumption - spending money meant for basic services on their personal largesse.
