It has been years now that the nation of Zimbabwe is going through severe turmoil. The people of this nation are in one of the worst humanitarian crises known to the world – famine, as well as threatened by a political time bomb.

On 27 June, 2008, they will have another round of elections to vote for president. There are rumors and reports of a lot of atrocities committed in this nation. The solution to this nation’s problems is not political, social, economical or humanitarian, but spiritual. Over the past few years many people have prayed and are still praying that God will intervene in this nation’s struggle. Now is the time that we must express our faith that God is in control and that He does answer prayer. Let us, as never before, cry out to God to have mercy and let us trust Him.

Mark 11:23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

Let us pray the following in Unity:

Psalm 2:1-4 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.

Psalm 33:13-15 The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.

Genesis 16:13 So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, "You are a God of seeing," for she said, "Truly here I have seen him who looks after me."

“I confess and believe that God has a purpose and a plan for Zimbabwe!”

Acts 17:26-27 And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us.

Isaiah 14:26 This is the purpose that is purposed concerning the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.

If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.

“I confess and believe that God loves the people of Zimbabwe!”

Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on Zimbabwe
Amen
