The only good news you need to know today is that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried and then God raised Him from the dead. If you believe this, say it with your mouth and become a child of God
TWO INDICATIVE POSITIONS ON LITHIUM DEVELOPMENT IN ZIMBABWE: Today’s press carries two reports which forebode serious developments in the Zimbabwean lithium sector. These are over and above spectacular investment moves by ChineseCorporates based in Goromonzi, Bikita and Kamativi. The British-registered X18 Capital PLC has revealed investment plans worth USD500M on lithium oxide reserves in Inzisa, Matabeleland South. The plans are both extractive and processing, both in line with Zimbabwe’s bold new policy aimed at developing a lithium value chain and industry in the country. From the Chinese, both the Embassy and a leading Chinese academic, Associate Professor Zhou Jinyan, have given clear messages of understanding Zimbabwe’s policy shift to greater beneficiation of its lithium resource which has seen a blanket ban on exportation of lithium ore. There is now a greater appreciation that Zimbabwe holds steadfast on this beneficiation policy which investors across the divide are having to come to terms with. To bolster this thrust, Vice President Chiwenga who is in charge of Economic Ministries has been on the road, and has covered lithium projects in Midlands, Masvingo and Manicaland to explain the new direction to all players who are expected to play a huge role in the Mapinga Lithium Industrial Park, in close partnership with Government. Equally, the iron processor at Manhize, DISCO, has been approached on the same, giving positive signals. Previously, the Vice President was in Kamativi for the same, eliciting a serious commitment on intent from the Chinese company at work there. It is important to stress that Government expectations in the lithium sector also obtain in respect of other ores across the mining industry. Contemporaneous with this are Govt investments in lab facilities at mining centres and districts which seek to cause greater accountability for miners, many of whom took advantage of our multi-element ore bodies in the country to under-declare export value. Equally, Govt will now insist on multi-processing mining plants which reflect the co-extensive mineral occurrences in these ore bodies. Zimbabwe’s unique geological attributes are such that every ore body carries multiple minerals, yet miners register and set up for just one mineral element, while exporting ore and matte rich in several minerals. Often, the least value mineral element is what gets registered for purposes of paying royalties, which more valuable elements are excluded, only to be enjoyed when the matte is processed extra-territorially. Both value and jobs are lost through externalization. Zimbabwe will forge ahead determinedly, paying little regard to short-term interests which, until now have stopped the country from enjoying full value and quality jobs. The future is bright and tertiary institutions are being repurposed while linkages are being made to ensure this new thrust. There is no going back, consistent with goals of NDS2 and Vision 2030 gunning for a Zimbabwe which is an Upper Middle-Income Economy in which none is left behind.
The Embassy of the Republic of Zimbabwe in the United Arab Emirates is inviting all Zimbabwean nationals resident in the UAE to register their presence by completing this registration form to help with effective communication. All Zimbabwean nationals in the UAE including family members are encouraged to register.

@runya_gee @the_shona_joker First you report to HR, in writing. Ask for them to stamp acknowledgement, then you take the document home and show your husband
Great initiative by #GreatmanMusic. RETWEET and help him reach as many people as possible!
You know what, my people? A retweet costs you nothing. And when you see somebody who is disabled, like Great Man, pushing this initiative, it should shame us who are able-bodied that we are not able to assist those who are disabled.
The least we can do is to RETWEET so that those who have the heart to help can actually support this cause.
So I ask you again, please RETWEET this initiative that Great Man, who is disabled, has started to assist people like him who are disabled.
It costs you nothing at all as a Zimbabwean or an African to simply RETWEET, or as any other nationality.
Call your parents via zoom and record it.
Ask them to recount their childhood, major life events, and their passions.
Essentially, record a podcast interview of their life.
You’ll be so glad you have this when they’re no longer here.
It really beats just having photos.
I HAVE A FEAR
For I fear we are in an hour where men labor much, but their works are written in Heaven as iniquity.
The Lord Himself warned us:
“Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name? and in Your name cast out demons? and in Your name do many mighty works? Then will I say to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.” (Matthew 7:22–23).
This is not a warning for pagans. It is for preachers. For men who used His Name. For men who worked in His House. And yet, at the end, they discover their ministry was rebellion dressed as labor.
Oh, how this should make us tremble.
Our generation has perfected the art of ministry without the Spirit.
We know how to brand our works.
We know how to organize our meetings.
We know how to trend our messages.
We know how to gather men, but we do not know God.
We have learned how to build platforms.
How to attract crowds without God's pattern.
How to produce results that look powerful on earth but are powerless before God.
And the earth claps.
The systems applaud.
Men confer titles, crowns, recognition.
But God is not deceived.
The Judge does not measure by numbers, but by obedience.
Not by visibility, but by faithfulness.
Not by the multitude of men who follow you, but by the stature of Christ formed in them.
And I weep… because many do not see the danger.
We are teaching men to rejoice in shadows,
To mistake applause for approval,
To call noise the move of God,
When in fact, it is rebellion wearing the mask of progress.
This is the sorrow:
Many of the works we call “the move of God” are nothing but towers of Babel.
Yes, they rise high, but their foundation is rebellion.
Yes, they are loud before men, but they are silent before God.
And God weeps while men clap.
A man can raise sons who never knew the Father.
A ministry can multiply branches God never planted.
A preacher can trend online, yet his name carries no weight in the courts above.
We can call it “Kingdom,”
But in Heaven, it is written down as iniquity.
Oh, what sorrow.
That we may spend our years in labor,
And discover at the end that we never built for Him.
That we may shout “Lord, Lord,”
And hear Him whisper back, “I never knew you.”
Beloved, can we not feel the grief of the Spirit?
We are running fast, but in the wrong direction.
We are building tall, but not upon His foundation.
We are laboring much, but not in His will.
This is why God is calling: Return!
Return to obedience,
Return to labors that are recorded in Heaven, not works applauded by men.
Return to the trembling of men who would rather be unknown on earth,
Than to be rejected in eternity.
A FINAL LAMENT
Oh Church, do you not see?
It is possible to win the earth and lose Heaven.
It is possible to gather men and yet be a stranger to God.
It is possible to labor day and night,
And still hear the most dreadful words in eternity:
“I never knew you.”
I weep as I write this.
For better to be nameless in time and known in eternity,
Than to be celebrated here,
And cast away before the Lamb.
Your Brother,
Toluwalogo Agboola
Whew, that period of time when communication was clocked!!! It was imperative that you learned how to say what you mean and mean what you said and you didn’t beat around the bush saying it. If too much sweet talk could give you diabetes, then what would talking too much shit do?
@Jamwanda2 Zvamunonyora izvi hazvidi munhu anoverenga atove nemhinduro kare. Ini ndatodzidza zvinhu zvakawanda just from the few lines of text you have written down. Thank you so much sir
Took a trip down the vast tea and macadamia plantations in the Honde Valley — amazing views! 🇿🇼
Fascinating for me: how this one valley blends three key economic sectors — agric, tourism, and energy.

Business is not complicated, I posted about my journey last week from SA to Harare & I bought Jojo tank and Jojo tank stand. Another Zimbo in Cape Town tells me please nditengereyi mundi deliverire kumba ku Mvuma. All of us tine chatinogona instead of spending time tichitukana (which is entertaining for the audience), what skill can you do that someone is willing to pay you even $20 zvayo because hainhongwe mari iyoyo.
Prayer must be taught — it is not inherited, but imparted. Teach your children how to pray, not just by instruction, but by example. Miracles often meet those who persevere in prayer. Consistency, not intensity, brings results.
