New Year - New Lease, Being #Resilient! | Pastor Jedmos Moyo

So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet - a vast army. - Ezekiel 37:10

The prophet of God had been walking in a valley of dry bones - they were lifeless, there was no hope for life, at all. 

And 2020 left most of us dejected, in despair without hope of ever achieving our life goals. We're now just getting by. The life, the inspiration (breath) that used to push us is no more - the pandemic killed it. 

Note that the prophet observed the magnitude of the problem that was there. Introspect and see the size of your problems that have let you down.

Also, talent was thoroughly beaten up this 2020. It was tough to think of developing creative arts, when we could barely find food or attend to basic necessities. This has been a problem for a while - decades, but 2020 hammered defining nails to talent's coffin.

BUT, the prophet was commanded to prophecy unto the dry bones....

The dry bones came together - yes there was a rattling sound. They had been very dry after all. But they came together, tendon to tendon, ligaments to ligaments, flesh upon the bones. Until breath was given to them. 

The way the Good Book is particular about the process shows the value of going through the process, each stage after another, without short cuts.

The way they mention the dryness and the rattling sound shows how messy and less smooth the process was. This is exactly how resilience is like, that is how a new lease on anything is like. That is how second or 11th chance is like. It's imperfect, it's messy. 

Resilience is tough - but produces a perfect output if it's followed through and with the Creator in the steering wheel.

Reviving your life, faith, career, business, and health may be messy, tough and complex this 2021 but as long as you're with God, you'll do better than make it, you'll thrive.

A vast army stood on it's feet...

When the process has been followed, what has been nothing, becomes worthy of noting

It was no longer just hope, but it was now faith, it was now manifestation. 

You'll pray, you'll believe, and you'll declare. When you go out, each day you'll put your effort backed by your prayers, faith and declarations. And you'll pick your life up, you'll pick your career, your business up and you'll thrive, and soar. You'll stand, a vast and exceeding great army

I wish you a happy 2021, that is filled with spiritual, social and economic transformation. I wish you a lot of resilience where #Covid19, #CycloneChalane and #EconomicMeltdown has destroyed. Oh, and here is a way to join the vast army, or volunteer

Mothers' Day 2021: The Mbokodos Arising

Image
Mbokodo is a Ndebele word for grinding stone. In African tradition, before the introduction and advent of machines such as grinding mill or peanut butter machines we used grinding stones. These are very smooth dark cooured rocks that are so very strong. You might need a 100kg hammer to crack that one. In the Nguni culture - the culture that espouses and borns the Ndebele culture - there is an idiom that says, 'Wathinta umfazi wathint' imbokodo'. Basically, don't attack women because you'll get a good beating (from them). Really, my understanding is that this means women are strong, powerful and great leaders.  In the Bible we find women like Sarah, Rebecca, Deborah, Esther, Bethsheba, and more of great authority who transformed the general view of what or who a woman is, especially a mother. The common denominator is that, she is strong. She, is a pillar. One that can not be celebrated just once a year. But, that, is not why I had to sit down and type all this.  The...

Bulawayo, My Home

Image
Apparently, Dr Nkomo’s statue is the only one in Zimbabwe that has been erected to date in honour of a political icon. - Phathisa Nyathi on The Chronicle , 2020 July 1 There's no place like home. This timeless expression applies in our case more than it normally does to an average person. Bulawayo is and means much more. We've sort of espoused that mantra of saying the best country in Zimbabwe is Bulawayo. I mean, we've once been considered the cleanest city in Southern Africa. Now, that's not our main cause of our Bulawayo pride. Our love and pride in the city of kings and queens, is much more rooted in the various meaningful things that define this southern city that's a home to more than 650000 people. It dates back to before colonisation.  It was back in the 1890s that we saw the roots of something worthy of note. The BSAC is widely known and understood to have itched to start their developments and settlements in this beautiful city. But the nature and prowess ...
