INTRODUCING BREAKING THE CYCLE OF WORRY: A BIBLICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH TO ANXIETY AND MENTAL HEALTH.

Daily teaching   October 24, 2026

 

Mental health and wellness can no longer be treated as secondary concerns. In Breaking the Cycle of Worry: A Biblical and Psychological Approach to Anxiety and Mental Health, I invite readers to understand anxiety not simply as a spiritual weakness, a lack of faith, or merely a medical condition, but as an experience that can affect the whole person, body, mind, relationships, and spirit.

One of the central ideas explored in this book is that anxiety can become a self-perpetuating cycle. Anxious thoughts can intensify physical symptoms, while those physical sensations may convince the mind that danger is present, producing even more worry. Breaking that cycle therefore requires us to take seriously the different dimensions of human wellbeing.

The book brings biblical and psychological perspectives into conversation rather than competition. Prayer, Scripture, worship, Christian community, hope, forgiveness, and pastoral care remain powerful resources of faith. At the same time, seeking professional counseling, psychological support, or appropriate medical care should not be regarded as evidence of weak faith. Caring for mental health is part of caring for the whole person.

This message is particularly important within Christian communities. We must resist the temptation to spiritualize every emotional or psychological struggle. Telling someone simply to pray more, have more faith, or assume that every mental-health difficulty is caused by spiritual forces may prevent a suffering person from receiving the help they need. Mental-health struggles can become severe and, in some circumstances, life-threatening. Taking warning signs seriously, listening without condemnation, and connecting people with appropriate support can help protect lives.

Readers should therefore expect a book that seeks to build bridges: between faith and psychology, pastors and clinicians, prayer and professional care, spiritual wellbeing and mental wellness. Ultimately, Breaking the Cycle of Worry calls us toward compassionate, informed, whole-person care in which faith offers hope while responsible mental-health care helps people move toward healing and wellness.

First and foremost, I give all glory to God for His amazing grace.

I am deeply humbled by the overwhelming response to my recent graduation from Grand Canyon University, where I earned my Master of Science in Mental Health and Wellness, with an Emphasis in Integrated Health.

To everyone who viewed my graduation picture, sent congratulatory messages, prayed for me, or shared in my joy, THANK YOU! Your love and encouragement have touched my heart.

As a Pastor, counselor, and mental health practitioner, I believe that mental health matters just as much as physical and spiritual well-being.

During my studies, I wrote a book entitled Breaking the Cycle of Worry: A Biblical and Psychological Approach to Anxiety and Mental Health.

One of the central messages of this book is that worry is not merely a feeling; it can become a cycle.

A troubling thought creates fear. Fear triggers physical tension. We begin imagining the worst, seeking reassurance, or trying to control tomorrow. Before we realize it, we are trapped in a cycle of anxiety.

But here is the good news: The cycle of worry can be broken.

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:34 not to be consumed by anxiety about tomorrow.

Faith does not mean pretending that emotional pain does not exist. Neither does seeking professional mental health support demonstrate a lack of faith. Biblical wisdom, psychological understanding, appropriate treatment, and compassionate care can work together toward healing and wholeness.

STARTING THIS WEEK, I WILL BE SHARING A WEEKLY MENTAL HEALTH MESSAGE RIGHT HERE ON FACEBOOK.

Together, we will explore anxiety, stress, depression, overthinking, emotional exhaustion, relationships, spiritual well-being, and practical ways of managing life’s pressures.

My prayer is that this platform becomes a place where people find knowledge, encouragement, hope, and the courage to seek help when needed.

Remember: You do not have to carry every burden alone.

YOU CAN’T CRY FOREVER

YOU CAN’T CRY FOREVER

Daily teaching   October 03, 2026

 

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”  (Psalm 30:5 KJV)

Life has seasons of pain that bring tears. Some people cry publicly, where everyone can see their brokenness. Others cry privately in their bedrooms, soaking their pillows with tears when no one is watching. Yet others cry inwardly. They smile, go to work, attend church, encourage others, and carry on with life, but deep inside their hearts they are weeping.

Pain comes through bereavement, betrayal, rejection, disappointment, broken relationships, financial struggles, sickness, and unanswered prayers. Sometimes the pain becomes so deep that people refuse to be comforted. Like Rachel in Jeremiah 31:15, they weep and refuse consolation because what they have lost feels irreplaceable.

Crying can be therapeutic. Tears can release emotions that words cannot express. But there comes a time when prolonged sorrow begins to consume the person carrying it. Sleepless nights, constant sadness, isolation, and hopelessness can affect the whole person, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Therefore, we must take prolonged emotional suffering seriously and seek appropriate spiritual, relational, and professional support when necessary.

But hear this message today: you cannot cry forever. Crying is not your permanent portion.

Psalm 30 reminds us that weeping has a night, but morning is coming. Your present pain does not have authority to write the final chapter of your life. God can meet you in your tears, strengthen you in your weakness, and lead you toward healing.

Jesus Himself is our perfect model. At Lazarus’ grave, “Jesus wept” (John 11:35). In Gethsemane, He experienced deep anguish. On Calvary, He endured unimaginable suffering. Yet His story did not end with tears, pain, or the grave.

After the cross came resurrection. After suffering came glory. So cry when you must, but do not surrender your future to your tears. You can’t cry forever. Your morning will come.

THEME: TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS

Daily teaching   September 12, 2026

 

.

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

(Psalm 90:12)

Life often gives us the impression that we have plenty of time. We postpone important decisions, delay reconciliation, put off opportunities, and tell ourselves, “I will do it tomorrow.” Yet the truth is simple: we do not have all the time we think we have.

Many people have procrastinated on opportunities, believing that another opportunity would come, only to discover that the door they ignored was the door they needed. Others live recklessly today because they assume they will have tomorrow to correct their mistakes. But tomorrow is not promised. It may never come, and even when it comes, it may arrive with circumstances that make today’s opportunities impossible.

The Psalmist therefore prays, “Teach us to number our days.” To number our days is to understand that time is precious. Every sunrise is a gift, every opportunity has a season, and every person we love will not always be within our reach.

Yesterday is a memory. Today is reality. Tomorrow is an imagination.

So, if you need to forgive someone, forgive quickly. If pride has separated you from someone, humble yourself quickly. Love your family while you can still tell them. Appreciate your parents, children, siblings, relatives and friends while they can still hear your voice. Be happy with the blessings God has placed before you today. Plan wisely. Take the opportunity. Make the phone call. Say, “I am sorry.” Say, “I love you.” Say, “Thank you.” Do the good you have been postponing.

Do not spend today regretting yesterday or worrying excessively about tomorrow. Yesterday cannot be changed, and tomorrow cannot be guaranteed. The only day God has placed in your hands is today.

There are things you can do today that you may not be able to do tomorrow. There are people you can embrace today who may not be there tomorrow. There are doors open today that may be closed tomorrow. There are decisions you can make today that can change the direction of your life.

Therefore, make today count.

Do not wait for a “better day” to become the person God is calling you to be. Because when today becomes yesterday, we cannot bring it back.

GOD’S PLANS ARE GREATER THAN OURS

GOD’S PLANS ARE GREATER THAN OURS

Daily teaching   September 05, 2026

 

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Jeremiah 29 was written as a letter to people whose hearts were not in sync with God’s plans. The exiles in Babylon wanted a quick escape, a sudden miracle, and an immediate return to Jerusalem. False prophets were promising speed, but God was speaking stability. While the people were planning survival, God was planning transformation. He told them to build houses, plant gardens, marry, and seek the peace of Babylon because their stay would not be short. Heaven’s timeline was different from human expectation.

This reveals the difference between our plans and God’s plans. We plan for speed, but God plans for stability. We plan for an escape, but God plans for endurance. We plan for quick recovery, but God plans for character. Sometimes we want God to remove the fire immediately, yet He allows the furnace because He is producing faith that cannot be destroyed. His plans may include a dungeon of fire and a den of lions, yet every painful season is still working for our good. Before His people arrived in Babylon, God had already walked before them. Their captivity was not beyond His control.

God’s plans are never random. Even delays are filled with divine purpose. The greatest proof of this is Jesus Christ. Humanity expected a conquering king, but God sent a suffering Savior. Through the cross came salvation, hope, and eternal life. Jesus is the perfect plan of God revealed to the world.

THEME: YOUR PAST DOES NOT HAVE THE FINAL WORD.

Daily teaching   August 29, 2026

 

Scripture: “So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife… and the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.” (Ruth 4:13)

Ruth’s story is a powerful testimony of how the grace of God can locate a person in the most unlikely circumstances. Ruth was a Moabite woman, from a people viewed by Israel as outsiders and excluded from the assembly of the Lord because of their origin. Yet Ruth’s life was also marked by personal tragedy. She lost her husband, her father-in-law, and her husband’s brother, and she was left without a child or obvious future.

Many people today carry stories that resemble Ruth’s. Some have broken beginnings, painful family histories, failed relationships, bereavements, rejection, financial struggles, or circumstances they never chose. Sometimes life seems to close every door just when hope begins to rise.

But Ruth teaches us that your origin does not determine your destination when God’s grace is upon your life.

Grace located Ruth in a field belonging to Boaz. The woman who could have remained an outsider became the wife of a respected man in Judah. More remarkably, she became part of the lineage of King David and ultimately the earthly lineage of Jesus Christ.

What people considered a limitation, God turned into a testimony. Beloved, do not allow your past to convince you that your future is finished. When the grace of God locates you, rejection can become acceptance, loss can become restoration, and obscurity can become significance.

Your story is not over. Grace is still writing it.

 THE WORD IN 60 SECONDS 

with Major Kudzai Marime 

Dz Extension Corps 

Harare West Division 

Before David stepped onto the battlefield, he arrived at a camp filled with fear. While everyone else saw an unbeatable giant, David saw an opportunity for God to display His power. The spirit of David should also be found in us as children of God. We are not called to focus on the size of our problems but on the greatness of our Heavenly Father.

Because we are born of God, defeat is not our identity. Our Father is always in control, and He goes before us to fight the battles we cannot win on our own. Whatever giants stand before us today, we can face them with confidence, knowing that victory belongs to the Lord.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, strengthen our faith to trust You in every season of life. Help us to see every challenge through eyes of faith, knowing that You go before us and fight on our behalf. May we walk each day in the confidence that our victory is found in You. Amen.

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.

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

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.

THEME: I WILL SEE THE GOODNESS OF GOD IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING

THEME: I WILL SEE THE GOODNESS OF GOD IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING

Daily teaching   July 20, 2026

“I would have died, if I had not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” (Psalm 27:13 KJV)

Life on this side of eternity is not always easy. There are seasons when the burdens seem heavier than our strength. Sometimes the salary is not enough to feed the family. Sometimes the doctor’s report leaves us trembling. Sometimes relationships break, doors close, prayers seem unanswered, and heaven appears silent. Life can be cruel. Life can be exhausting. Life can be overwhelming.

David understood such moments. He confessed that without faith in God’s goodness, he would have lost heart. What kept him alive was not the absence of trouble but the certainty that God was still at work.

There are times when you cannot trace God’s hand, but you can trust His heart. Behind the scenes, the Lord is arranging what you cannot yet see. He is opening doors you cannot unlock, healing wounds you cannot mend, and preparing breakthroughs you cannot imagine. His delays are never His denials.

Today, refuse to let your present circumstances define your future. Hold tightly to the promises of God even when everything around you seems to contradict them. The God who has carried you this far will not abandon you now.

Make this your declaration of faith: I will not die until I see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I will see His provision. I will see His healing. I will see His restoration. I will see His faithfulness. My story will not end in despair because my God is still writing it. His goodness will surely find me, and I will live to testify of His unfailing love.

 VIEWS FROM AN EMPTY PULPIT

By Major Davious Chigwada

Commissioner Joash Malabi (R) once said this in a private discussion: "While many people can cook, very few people can prepare food."

There is a difference between cooking and preparing food.

A lot of effort goes on behind the scenes when food preparation is undertaken in earnest.

In food preparation, someone visualises colour, arrangement, nutritional value, as well as taste.

Food preparation has a vision of those who are going to eat the food, whether they are children, youths, peers, in-laws, or honourable guests.

The stories of food, cooking, and food preparation are many in the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.

Whatever their contexts, all food stories serve to show that well-prepared food is not just for the stomach but goes straight to the mind, speaking to both the intellect and the soul.

Take, for instance, this incident about meat.

When God created man, He did not offer meat as food but only beans and vegetables.

After the flood, Noah thoughtfully selected animals for preparing a special sacrifice to God.

After that, he made a special altar and presented the sacrifice.

It was a pleasing sacrifice to God, and God poetically added meat to man's menu.

Did you notice that the well-prepared sacrifice made God change His mind about man's diet?

Thus, well-prepared food can influence decisions.

Well-prepared food often leads people to praise God.

Thus, Christ taught us to include in the Lord's Prayer a request for our daily bread.

But food can also reveal relational differences, just as it did with Judas Iscariot.

Some people are no longer talking to each other because of food.

The story of Jacob and Esau is also a story about food preparation and its long-term effect on relationships.

The Bible also describes some well-prepared food as being out of sync with God's plans for certain individuals.

Daniel and his friends did not eat the royal Babylonian food, yet they stood far above the rest in both appearance and health.

I do like the Shona translation of Luke 11:3.

The word "Zvinotiringana" emphasises not only adequate supply but also equitable rather than equal measures.

For those with a big appetite, the daily bread meets their need just as it does for those who eat less, without gluttony and greed taking place.

Like the prodigal son who drifted far from home, we may sometimes stray in the heart or direction. Yet God’s love does not loosen its hold - His grace continues to draw us back, and His arms remain open, waiting for our return.

On this Founders’ Day, we are reminded of the unwavering grip of God’s salvation: a love that holds us firm and secures us against the enemy’s attempts to pull us away.

Let us, therefore, remain closely held in His hand, steadfast in faith and faithful to His calling, walking confidently in the assurance that we are safe in Him.

Forgiveness Over Revenge: Why Guarding the Heart Matters

Forgiveness Over Revenge: Why Guarding the Heart Matters

Daily teaching   July 02, 2026

By Dorcas Moyo-True maturity is often revealed in how people respond to pain and betrayal. Those who are emotionally and spiritually mature choose forgiveness, even when they have every reason—and the power—to retaliate against those who have wronged them.

A powerful example is found in the biblical story of David and Saul. Although David had multiple opportunities to kill Saul, who relentlessly pursued him, he chose mercy over revenge. Instead of striking back, David exercised restraint and forgiveness, demonstrating remarkable strength of character.

Revenge may offer momentary satisfaction, but its comfort is short-lived. Forgiveness, on the other hand, brings lasting peace and freedom. Holding onto bitterness and resentment weighs heavily on the heart, gradually stealing joy and inner peace.

Every grudge carried becomes a burden, making it harder to experience genuine happiness. That is why protecting one’s heart is essential in every situation and circumstance. Choosing forgiveness is not a sign of weakness—it is an act of guarding the heart against anger, bitterness, and emotional decay.

As the saying goes, “Plate ine ngura ndiyo inokasika kubooka” — a plate weakened by rust breaks easily. In the same way, a heart corroded by unforgiveness becomes vulnerable and fragile.

Forgiveness strengthens the heart, preserves peace, and allows healing to take place. To forgive, ultimately, is to guard the heart.

THEME: I HAVE CRIED ENOUGH

THEME: I HAVE CRIED ENOUGH

Daily teaching   July 01, 2026

 

“This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the Lord, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat.” (1 Samuel 1:7)

Life often ambushes us with things we never expected, a painful diagnosis, the loss of a loved one, betrayal, financial struggles, family conflicts, delayed dreams, or unanswered prayers. These unexpected moments can bring us to tears. Like Hannah, many of us have experienced seasons where crying seemed to be our only response.

Hannah’s pain was not only her barrenness but also the constant provocation from Peninnah. Year after year she wept in deep anguish. However, there came a turning point. The Bible says Hannah stood up and went before the Lord in prayer. She moved from crying to praying. That decision changed everything.

What is remarkable is that when Hannah left the sanctuary, her circumstances had not yet changed. She was still childless, yet “her face was no longer downcast.” Prayer first changed her heart before it changed her situation. She reached a place where she had cried enough and chose to trust God instead of remaining overwhelmed by her pain.

Many of us have cried over life’s disappointments. But there comes a time when we must declare, “I have cried enough.” We cannot face every new challenge with more tears. Enough is enough. It is time to rise, pray, and place our confidence in God.

Jesus Christ is our perfect example. In the Garden of Gethsemane, He poured out His heart to the Father. After praying, He rose with strength and walked toward the cross. Like Hannah and like Jesus, our turning point begins when we move from crying to praying.

When Daniel learned that he would be thrown into the lions' den, he did not fight to save himself or argue for his own protection. Instead, he placed his complete trust in God. As he walked toward what seemed like certain death, his faith remained unshaken.

Many times, we face situations that appear impossible, but God does not expect us to fight every battle on our own. He calls us to trust Him. Daniel's story reminds us that even when God seems distant, He is still in control. The same God who shut the lions' mouths is able to protect, sustain, and deliver us today.

Trust Him with your challenges. He is watching over you, and He knows exactly how to handle every matter in your life.
