Ash Wednesday Reflections...

Daily teaching   February 19, 2026

 From dust we came. To dust we return. But in between, we are called to transformation. Between our first breath and our final one, we are given the sacred chance to love more deeply, to walk more humbly, to become more like Christ.

This Ash Wednesday, as ashes mark our foreheads, may grace mark our hearts. May what is fragile in us be strengthened, and what is broken be restored. Let us return to the Lord with all our hearts not out of fear, but out of longing for renewal.

Zimbabwe Council of Churches Keen To Spearhead Economic Stability

Zimbabwe Council of Churches Keen To Spearhead Economic Stability

Local   February 18, 2026

 Yesterday, 16 February 2026, the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC), led by the ZCC Vice President Bishop Kenneth Sibanda, engaged the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) on the Monetary Policy Review and in Consultation for the upcoming Monetary Policy.

The dialogue provided an important platform to bring the perspectives and lived experiences of communities into national economic policy discussions. ZCC commended the Bank for achievements in currency stability and lower inflation, while emphasizing the need for policies that build public confidence, safeguard livelihoods, and promote inclusive economic participation.

ZCC continues to advocate for people-centered approaches that promote trust, sustainability, and equitable growth. As Scripture reminds us, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” - John 10:10

The Power of Hidden Ministry

The Power of Hidden Ministry

Daily teaching   February 18, 2026

 CHAPTER 4

The Power of Hidden Ministry

Ministry That Works in the Shadows

The pastor’s wife often operates in spaces where no one is watching. Her influence is rarely recorded on social media, highlighted in church programs, or celebrated from the pulpit. Yet, it is in these hidden spaces that her faithfulness produces enduring results.

“Your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”

— Matthew 6:6

This verse reminds us that Heaven values hidden obedience over public applause.

Why Hidden Ministry Matters

Every public victory in ministry is supported by quiet, unseen labor. The pastor may preach, lay hands, and counsel the congregation—but the strength behind him often comes from prayer, wisdom, and sacrifice provided in secret.

Hidden ministry:

Protects the shepherd from burnout

Prepares the home for ministry pressures

Aligns the family with God’s purpose

Shields the ministry from unnecessary distraction

The pastor’s wife, faithfully walking in this hidden ministry, is a stabilizing force.

The Secret Place as a Battlefield

The Bible repeatedly shows that what happens in secret affects the public. Daniel prayed privately and his nation was preserved (Daniel 6). Esther fasted and prayed quietly and a decree of death turned into life for her people (Esther 4:16).

Similarly, a pastor’s wife interceding in private can:

Strengthen sermons

Protect the pastor from spiritual attack

Ensure continuity of ministry

Her unseen faithfulness is strategic, not incidental.

Ministry Without Public Validation

One of the hardest realities for pastors’ wives is working without visible acknowledgment. Society often equates value with visibility, but Scripture repeatedly rewards quiet faithfulness.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

— Matthew 5:16

Notice: the reward is not always human recognition. God sees and honors the labor that others cannot measure.

Forms of Hidden Ministry

Hidden ministry is multi-dimensional:

Prayer Behind the Scenes

Constant intercession for her husband, children, and ministry staff.

Emotional Strength and Stability

Providing a safe home environment that allows the pastor to function without distraction.

Wise Counsel

Speaking truth at the right moment to prevent poor decisions or unnecessary conflict.

Spiritual Discernment

Detecting threats, temptations, and attacks before they become crises.

Practical Support

Handling logistics, hospitality, and household needs to free the pastor to focus on ministry.

Every aspect of this ministry is often unseen, but deeply consequential.

Hidden Ministry Is Not Weak Ministry

There is a misconception that unseen labor is lesser labor. Nothing could be further from the truth.

“Those parts of the body which seem weaker are necessary.”

— 1 Corinthians 12:22

The pastor’s wife may not lay hands publicly or preach in the pulpit, yet her contribution is foundational, like a root system sustaining a large tree. Without her faithfulness, the public ministry would falter.

Challenges of Hidden Ministry

Even with its power, hidden ministry comes with pressures:

Invisibility: Not receiving recognition can be discouraging.

Emotional Burden: Carrying the weight of ministry quietly is exhausting.

Spiritual Attacks: Being in a position of strategic influence attracts opposition.

Yet, Scripture encourages endurance:

“Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life.”

— James 1:12

The pastor’s wife endures not for applause, but for eternal reward.

How Churches Can Support Hidden Ministry

It is vital for churches to recognize and honor hidden ministry correctly:

Affirm her faithfulness privately and publicly without imposing roles she was not called to.

Encourage rest and self-care—she cannot sustain ministry if she is exhausted.

Protect her from unrealistic expectations, understanding her labor is often invisible but essential.

Closing Reflection

The power of hidden ministry is subtle but transformative. It supports leadership, strengthens families, and produces fruit that multiplies in ways the world may never see. The pastor’s wife is a quiet force of grace and stability.

“Your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”

— 1 Corinthians 15:58

Hidden ministry is sacred work. It is strategic work. It is kingdom-building work. And Heaven will honor it fully, even when others do not.

Guided By Prayer, Faith Leaders Stand With Mining Communities

Guided By Prayer, Faith Leaders Stand With Mining Communities

Local   February 17, 2026

 

Faith leaders have been praised for their continued commitment to advancing economic justice and standing in solidarity with communities affected by extractive industries.

Speaking during commemorations held on Sunday, organisers highlighted the crucial role religious leaders play within the Alternative Mining Indaba, describing their moral guidance as a pillar that anchors advocacy efforts in dignity, hope and shared responsibility.

During a fireside conversation hosted by the Economic Justice Network (EJN) in partnership with the Open Society Foundations (OSF), Father James Phiri, Secretary General of the Council of Churches of Zambia, delivered a stirring closing prayer that left a lasting impression on participants.

Through song and reflection, Father Phiri encouraged delegates to persevere in the struggle for justice.

He urged participants to remain united and resolute, reminding them to continue walking the difficult journey together and not to turn away from their “golden goal” until communities themselves — and even God — say “well done.”

Organisers said the message was not only symbolic but a call to practical action.

“Today, we invite you to sing along with Father Joseph — not just in voice, but in action. Stay the course. Stand with communities. Keep pushing for economic justice until justice is done,” the organisers said.

The gathering reaffirmed the growing partnership between faith-based institutions and civil society groups in amplifying the voices of marginalised communities and demanding accountability in the extractive sector.

Anglican Communion Calls for Prayer and Renewed Mission Across the Indian Ocean

international   February 16, 2026

 

The Anglican Communion said at the weekend that it is directing its global prayers toward the Church of the Province of the Indian Ocean and its Primate, the Most Revd Dr Gilbert Rateloson Rakotondravelo, Archbishop of the Indian Ocean and Bishop of Fianarantsoa.

In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, the Communion emphasized the Church’s witness across island nations, praying that it may continue to proclaim the Gospel with hope and joy among diverse cultures and communities throughout the Indian Ocean region.

The Communion also highlighted the Province’s shared vision and strategic priorities, expressing hope that the challenges and goals outlined in its Provincial strategic plan will be wisely implemented and bear fruit within the unique contexts of Madagascar, Mauritius, and the Seychelles.

Further prayers were requested for discipleship and leadership formation, particularly for clergy and lay leaders, so that the Church may be strengthened for ministry and mission in every diocese.

Special mention was made of care for creation and resilience, especially for island communities vulnerable to cyclones, climate change, and environmental degradation. The Communion prayed that the Church would remain a source of hope and practical support in the face of environmental challenges.

The statement concluded with a simple affirmation: “Amen.”

DEVOTIONAL MOMENT 

Spending quality time with God makes a difference. It's not about worshiping in a crowd but connecting with Him individually. Jesus gained supernatural strength in the wilderness, and Hannah found grace at the temple alone. Let's follow their example and trust God with our lives. Let's prioritize prayer and commitment and wait in anticipation for His divine coverage.
