ZCC Women Reflect On God’s Timing At Greater Harare Mubatanidzwa

ZCC Women Reflect On God’s Timing At Greater Harare Mubatanidzwa

Local   September 25, 2026

 

Staff Writer- The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) Greater Harare Women Ecumenical Fellowship gathered on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, for its Routine Mubatanidzwa, drawing women from different Christian denominations together for fellowship, reflection and prayer.

The gathering was held under the theme "Anoita Seanonoka", based on John 11:39-44, which recounts the raising of Lazarus by Jesus Christ.

The biblical account provided an opportunity for the women to reflect on the reality that God's timing does not always correspond with human expectations. Although Mary and Martha had hoped that Jesus would arrive earlier to save their brother, Lazarus, Christ's intervention ultimately demonstrated a deeper purpose beyond what they had anticipated.

"God's timing may not always align with our own expectations, but His purposes remain greater than what we can see," the fellowship reflected during the gathering.

Women have historically played an important role in the ministry of Jesus, with Mary and Martha standing out as central figures in the Lazarus account. Their story continues to speak to questions of faith, perseverance and hope in difficult circumstances.

The Greater Harare Women Ecumenical Fellowship also highlighted the continuing role of women in strengthening churches and communities through peacebuilding, solidarity and collective action.

Through local ecumenical fellowships, women from different denominations are able to come together, build relationships and address issues affecting their communities, demonstrating that ecumenism is not confined to church leadership structures but is also lived at grassroots level.

The gathering reaffirmed the importance of women as agents of faith, hope and transformation, while encouraging participants to remain steadfast even when answers to their prayers appear delayed.

The message of "Anoita Seanonoka" therefore served as a reminder that perceived delays do not necessarily mean abandonment, and that faith can remain anchored in God's purposes even during periods of uncertainty.

The fellowship continues to promote unity among Christian women while creating spaces for prayer, reflection and conversations that strengthen communities.

Local   September 23, 2026

Staff Writer- Seer Langton Malak, a prophet, teacher and visionary, has shared a message encouraging believers to maintain their faith in God’s provision and to avoid placing limitations on what they believe is possible.

In the message, Malak declares, “God is not on budget,” challenging the mindset that God's ability to provide is restricted by human circumstances or limitations.

He further states, “God’s warehouse is still full,” using the imagery of an overflowing storehouse to emphasise his message about continued divine provision.

“There is abundance from where it is coming from,” the message adds, encouraging believers to remain hopeful and trust that provision can come from sources beyond what they can currently see.

Malak’s message centres on faith, hope and the belief that difficult circumstances should not cause people to abandon their expectations of better things.

The message encourages believers to look beyond present challenges and to remain confident in God’s ability to provide, while maintaining faith even when circumstances appear uncertain.

As a prophet, teacher and visionary, Malak presents the message as a reminder that faith should not be confined by human calculations, limitations or present circumstances.

"Minerals Are a Sacred Trust From God": ZCC President Demands Justice in Mining at ZAMI 2026

"Minerals Are a Sacred Trust From God": ZCC President Demands Justice in Mining at ZAMI 2026

Local   September 17, 2026

Staff Writer-

Communities and civil society have called for a new model of mining governance that protects people and the environment, as the Zimbabwe Alternative Mining Indaba (ZAMI) 2026 officially opened.

Speaking during the opening session, Zimbabwe Council of Churches President Bishop K. Sibanda said the country's minerals must benefit ordinary Zimbabweans and not just a select few.

He said a mine cannot be considered successful if surrounding communities lose access to clean water, health services and livelihoods while profits are captured elsewhere.

"Mining governance must ensure that every license granted, every river protected, and every dollar earned serves human dignity," he said.

Bishop Sibanda said the current extractive model needs to shift towards one that restores land, repairs harm and rebuilds communities, ensuring that wealth taken from beneath a community leaves a lasting inheritance for future generations.

He also stressed that true development and energy transition must protect land, water and food systems, which are the foundation of community survival.

"Let us move from mere extraction to a covenant of stewardship, ensuring our mineral wealth becomes a shared blessing of justice, dignity and life for all," he said.

This year's Indaba is being held under the hashtags #ConversationsOfHope, #zami2026 and #Faith4Equality, with a focus on accountability, justice and community rights in the mining sector.
