Prayers for the well-being of Zimbabwe, President Mugabe and the country’s entire leadership dominated proceedings of most churches during Easter conferences held in various parts of the country which ended yesterday.
Some churches took advantage of the conferences to pray for a quick turnaround of the economy which has been affected by the West’s illegal sanctions regime.
At the United Family International Church’s convention held at the City Sports Centre in Harare, Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa led the congregation in praying for the nation, President Mugabe and the leadership.
In the weeks preceding the conference, Prophet Makandiwa had emphasised to his church members the importance of praying for the country’s leadership and especially President Mugabe since the Bible instructs Christians to respect authority.
He also said it was not proper for Christians to despise the country’s President.
This was then emphasised by Prophet Makandiwa’s spiritual father and Ghanaian acclaimed Prophet Victor Kusi Boateng who spoke at the UFIC conference urging Christians from all denominations in the country to pray for those in leadership.
Prophet Boateng said churches should continue to play their role in communities.
The UFIC Easter conference was attended by thousands of people from Zimbabwe and others from Malawi, Zambia, South Africa, Botswana, Canada, United States, Britain and Australia.
Meanwhile, Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries head of humanitarian Mrs Cathrine Nyangoni said the main word throughout their Easter celebrations was on hope as represented by Jesus’ resurrection.
“Prophet Walter Magaya’s message was centred more on hope, saying every situation, whatever it is, can be overcame similar to the resurrection of Jesus from death,” she said.
Faith Ministries’ Pastor Shingi Munyeza said they took advantage of Easter to ask God for quicker economic turnaround for Zimbabwe.
“We had an Easter conference throughout our churches,” he said. “Our focus on Zimbabwe was that our turnaround will be sooner than expected.
“We also prayed that we do not look to man for solutions to our problems, but that we look up to God.
“We prayed that our spiritual leaders will become accountable so as to set the example to political leaders.”
The Faith Ministries conference was held under the theme “Advancing Kingdom Territory”.
Anglican Diocese of Harare spokesperson Mr Precious Shumba said they took the opportunity during their Easter celebrations held at the Harare Gardens to dedicate the country to God.
“It’s a tradition within the Anglican Church that there is a prayer for the nation all the time,” he said. “So, as per tradition we had prayers for the country during the Easter celebrations.”
Family of God spokesperson Pastor Shuvai Wutawunashe said their Easter conference held at the Aquatic Complex in Chitungwiza and attended by delegates from different countries dedicated a special service on Saturday afternoon to pray for the “resurrection” of the country’s economy.
“Yesterday (Saturday) afternoon we had a special service where we prayed for the President’s health and continued wisdom,” she said.
“We also prayed for the resurrection of the country’s economy, our continent and an end to all social ills in today’s life.”
Pastor Wutaunashe said Zimbabweans had a role to play in the resurrection of the country’s economy through hard work in different areas of expertise as well as through prayer.
Zaoga Forward in Faith Manyame district pastor Jabulani Zondo said although they pray for the country all the time, Easter provided a unique opportunity to re-affirm the prayers.
“Jesus Christ died for our sins on the cross and resurrected from the dead on day three,” he said.
“His resurrection brought salvation to the people and we hope through continued prayer our country will be delivered.”

Please, people of God, pray for Mutare. Things aren’t well in the City. Of other pressing issues, there is the water supply problem. Water, too much of it is available but it is just impossible to get it to flow into ratepayers’ homes. A very expensive reservoir project was completed and what nobody is broadcasting is the fact that no water is flowing to the people.
In other ways, no amount of money put into the local authorities’ system will yield any output under natural circumstance. Where there is water to be shared between suburbs, there are all mighty, all powerful and feared staff members who a year ago decided to turn Destiny Suburb off so that their suburb only gets water most of the time. Destiny residents have to go to the staff members’ suburb and pay fees in order to get water for bathing, food, laundry and drinking every day. Despite complaints to the engineers’ office, not much has been done. They used to respond to complaints by turning Destiny water after complaining for only 3 -4 hours past midnight mostly valves turned halfway then before the whole suburb is covered, turn it off then turn it on in their suburb. Rumour once moved around that there is a person who runs a business who gets a full water supply mostly uninterrupted and the employees are afraid of him and also in league with him. Believable it may be because of a stream between Dreamhouse and Destiny has an uninterrupted flow of clean treated water unattended to, the water getting into the permanently sewerage infested Sakubva river.
The responsible offices (engineer) are awash with these complains and have stopped altogether taking action.
Please pray for God to deal with Mutare offices regarding the inhuman treatment of Destiny residents at the hands of site office guys. Please ask God to visit them and demand an account for each and every man and woman who suffered daily before going to work pushing many painfully heavy wheelbarrow loads of water for their families just because someone decided not to turn a valve and let it be just for 5 hours. Pray for all the women with affected backs and necks who could not afford wheelbarrows but had to carry more that five 20 litre buckets of water on their heads over 400 meters over and over in order to feed families, wash clothes and flush toilets.
Pray that any benefit accruing to the staff members from this kind of cruelty turn into curses. All who suffered carrying water at 4am in heavy rains while the staff members and their wives and children slept comfortably, please pray that God decisively deals with this evil activity.
Pray that trouble mounts in the lives of the people with the power to shift staff, address complaints, pass orders etc. and that the sorrow of Destiny dwellers lands on their desks.
Until you repent or speak out who the problem is, you plumbers at Hobhouse site office, read the scriptures:
Exodus 22:24
My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless.
Jeremiah 18:21
So give their children over to famine; hand them over to the power of the sword. Let their wives be made childless and widows; let their men be put to death, their young men slain by the sword in battle.

When are these church leaders going to understand that without repentance from the church, the nations leaders and the people we are going no where? repentance is the key. How can we expect a quick economic turnaround when we are drowning in sin. Are our church leaders spiritually blind. Some Sickness and economic death comes because of sin. They are putting the cart before the horse. How do we pray for healing of the body before the healing of the heart and the spirit of a man. Truly we are an immature church. What do we want? Someone to get better so they can get up and continue their evil and eventually go to an eternal damnation or to pray first for a spiritual healing and know that that person has eternal life. Jesus, John the Baptist and all the prophets of old came preaching a gospel of REPENTANCE
