Gospel Musician Celebrates Birthday
MANY years ago today, my mother laboured in pain giving birth to me. I was not a bouncing baby boy, but a frail and sick child whose form was unfortunate. No parent would love to give birth to a sick baby, everyone hopes for better but ndiMwari vanozopa.
I was born in a time when my father was preparing for his exit and he left (died) after two years eleven months from my birth, thus I was raised by a single mother.
Pakurwara kwese kwehumwana ndakarapwa naMwari, akapedza hundonda akaisa mufaro mumoyo waMai vangu vakandiriritira chise iye achindichengeta. Ndakazokura wani munyasha dzaMwari.
TO all mothers who are raising children alone, rerai vana venyu muna Mwari kunyangwe zviome sei nokuti hakuna nhaka yamunozovapa vana ava inodarika hutsvene.
Nziyo dzedu dzegore rino Ngizoliphumuza and Mukadzi waRoti will be available on our YouTube channel na 11am.
Happy Birthday to me!

Praying for Safety on the Roads: A Call to Action for Our Church Family
As we navigate the busy roads of daily life, it’s easy to take for granted the safety and protection we experience as we travel. Yet, every day, countless accidents occur, and lives are impacted by the unpredictability of the road. This is why it’s so important that we, as a church family, come together in prayer for safety on the roads.
The Bible teaches us to pray for God’s protection in all areas of our lives, and this includes our journeys. In Psalm 121:8, it says, “The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Whether we’re commuting to work, running errands, or traveling on longer trips, we need God’s guidance and protection as we drive.
Let us pray for:
Wisdom and alertness for those behind the wheel.
Safe travels for our families, friends, and all members of our community.
Protection from accidents, breakdowns, and hazardous conditions.
Peace of mind as we travel, knowing that God is with us in every moment.
We also ask for compassion and understanding toward other drivers, remembering that we are all fellow travelers on this road of life. Let’s come together in prayer, trusting that God’s hand is upon us as we set out on every journey.
May we honor God with our safety and our actions on the road, and may He continue to guide and protect us in all that we do.
The Lord Is With You

"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV
The Lord is with you.
Have you ever felt lonely, abandoned, unloved, unworthy and unappreciated?
Today's Word is to give you encouragement and reassurance that the Lord's constant presence is with you.
Trials and uncertainties of life may knock you down but there is need to take courage in the knowledge that God himself will never leave you.
"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." Isaiah 41:10
People may leave you but God will never leave you.
God is present today, tomorrow and forevermore, he never changes.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. So do not be attracted by strange new ideas. Your strength comes from God's grace," Hebrews 13:8-9
Never spent time focusing on your challenges, rather focus on God, the source of power and strength.
"But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble." Psalm 59:16
Give your worries to Him, he cares for you.
"Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7
Dear friends, God is before us, He is with us in every situation.
Continue trusting in Him. - Salvationist online

Put Your Hope In God
*DAILY DEVOTIONS MCZ MISSION DEPARTMENT*
*Psalms 42:5 NIV*
[5] Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Calling the Church to Prayer: Combating the Scourge of Road Accidents in Zimbabwe
As Zimbabweans, we are all too familiar with the devastating reality of road accidents on our nation's roads.
The recent tragic incident in Kuwadzana, Harare, where five people lost their lives, serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for prayer and action.
Road accidents have become an all-too-common occurrence in Zimbabwe, claiming countless lives and leaving families shattered. As the body of Christ, it is imperative that we recognize the spiritual dimension of this issue and rally together in prayer to combat this scourge.
The Bible reminds us that "the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much" (James 5:16). As we intercede for those affected by road accidents, we can trust that our prayers have the power to bring about transformation. We must cry out to God for protection, wisdom, and safety on our roads.
Let us pray for:
- The drivers, passengers, and pedestrians who traverse Zimbabwe's roads daily, asking God to grant them caution, attentiveness, and restraint
- The emergency responders and medical personnel who selflessly serve to save lives
- The government and transportation authorities, that they may implement effective measures to reduce road accidents
- The families of the victims, that they may find comfort and strength in their time of grief
