T

he stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” (Psalm 118:22)

Life has a way of changing our positions and reminding us of our shared humanity. The person we ignore today, the one we consider insignificant, or the one we reject because of their appearance, status, or circumstances may be the very person God uses to help us tomorrow. Therefore, we must never allow privilege, wealth, education, or social standing to make us look down upon those who have less than we do.

The world often measures people by what they possess, where they come from, or how influential they appear. But God looks beyond outward appearances and sees the potential, purpose, and greatness hidden within every person. The person struggling today may rise tomorrow. The one asking for assistance today may become the source of your rescue in a season of need. Since the future is unknown to us, humility, kindness, and respect must guide the way we treat others.

The Bible is filled with examples of people who were underestimated yet chosen by God for great purposes. The greatest example is Jesus Christ Himself. When people heard that He came from Nazareth, they asked, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Yet the same Jesus who was rejected, mocked, and crucified became the Savior of the world and the hope of all humanity.

May we learn never to despise anyone, for the person society rejects may be the very stone that God is preparing to become a cornerstone.

Prayer: Lord, teach us to see people through Your eyes. Remove pride and prejudice from our hearts and help us to honor every person, knowing that You can raise the lowly and use the rejected for Your glory. Amen.

To God be the glory

Staff Writer - Hundreds of women from diverse Christian denominations converged at the Roman Catholic Church in Glen View Area 8 this week for the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) Harare Greater Mubatanidzwa.

The gathering brought together congregants from across Harare and surrounding areas in what organizers described as a powerful demonstration of faith, unity and fellowship among women of God.

The Harare Greater Mubatanidzwa, which means "coming together" in Shona, is part of ZCC's ongoing efforts to strengthen ecumenical relations and provide a platform for women to pray, worship and address issues affecting families and communities.

Participants engaged in prayer sessions, worship, testimonies and discussions centered on the role of women in building peace, moral values and social cohesion in Zimbabwe.

Church leaders who addressed the gathering commended the women for their commitment to unity despite denominational differences, saying such platforms were critical in responding to challenges facing society including poverty, drug abuse and family breakdowns.

The event also featured special music ministries and reflections on scripture, with speakers urging women to remain steadfast in faith and to be agents of transformation in their homes, churches and neighborhoods.

ZCC officials said the turnout reflected the growing importance of women's ministries in the church and the need for continued collaboration across denominations to advance the gospel and community development.

The Mubatanidzwa concluded with prayers for the nation, families and leaders, with participants calling for God’s intervention on Zimbabwe’s social and economic challenges.

WHEN GOD CLOSES A DOOR

WHEN GOD CLOSES A DOOR

 THE WORD IN 60 SECONDS 

with Major Kudzai Marime 

Dz Extension Corps 

Harare West Division 

Some doors close despite our prayers, tears, and deepest desires. There are moments when God says "No," and His decision is final—not to harm us, but to position us for something far greater.

Joseph experienced this truth. The door to comfort closed, and he found himself serving as a slave and later as a prisoner. Yet those painful closures were preparing him for the palace, where God opened a new door with a new purpose. He entered not as a servant, but as a ruler entrusted with authority.

If God has closed a door in your life, trust that He has not abandoned you. Every closed door in God's hands has a purpose. In His perfect time, He will open the right door, and you will understand why the previous one had to close.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord... (Jeremiah 29:11)

Be patient with God. He never closes a door without a reason.

MINISTRY IS NOT FOR THE FAINTHEARTED

MINISTRY IS NOT FOR THE FAINTHEARTED

Daily teaching   July 28, 2026

  

Apostle Aleck Lionde- 

When you understand that some things are normal in ministry you just make up your mind to deal with them as they come and it shouldn't bother you. Be strong mentally and understand these: 

1. Understand that ministry can be very lonely.

2. Many fathers will withdraw from you when your offering is small.

3. Many people will only relate with you when you can give them the pulpit.

4. Once you go through any challenge you will be sidelined.

5. Pastors can be the most wicked people you may have to deal with in ministry.

6. People rejoice when you encounter challenges. 

7. Never let it get into your head that you have people around you....wait till there's a shaking.

8. Sometimes people won't sacrifice for you at all.

9. When friends feel they have more members than you they have a nice way of cutting you off.

10. People will always misunderstand you and have their own opinion about you. 

13. Genuine covenant friends are few in this thing called ministry.

14. Some of these members that call you mummy and daddy have no loyalty and can leave you easily.

15. The enemy can use your family against you. He used Job's wife, he used Joseph's brothers and Jesus's brothers did not also believe in him.

FINALLY

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF TO AN EXTENT EVEN IF YOU ARE THE ONLY MEMBER OF YOUR CHURCH, YOU WILL STILL PREACH TO YOURSELF.

IN THE END, THE LORD SHALL NOT FAIL YOU.

Your Beloved Apostle

ZCC Assembly Day 3 Begins With Renewed Push For Church Unity

Local   July 24, 2026

Day 3 of the Zimbabwe Council of Churches’ 48th Biennial General Assembly is underway, following a second day centered on introspection and moral responsibility.

The focus on Tuesday was on the Church examining itself first. In her address, Rev. Lydia Neshangwe challenged delegates to dismantle internal divisions before seeking to mend fractures in society. Her message set the tone: healing must start from within.

That theme carried into the Theological Conference and Public Lecture, where discussions turned to justice, peace, social cohesion, and the role of the Church as a prophetic voice in Zimbabwe’s current climate.

Organizers say the conversations were meant to move beyond debate, toward concrete discernment and action as the Assembly progresses.

The ZCC is continuing to share updates from the gathering as leaders deliberate on the way forward for the Council over the next two years.
