The history of Zimbabwe is a sad story of Mugabe’s “tough hold” of power in order not to let go. It reminds us all of the fate that befell the children of Israel under Pharaoh in Egypt! It was a blatant disregard for God’s power and rule over all realms. If history is to repeat itself, it is a biblical revelation and a mystical dilemma that must take the form of events in Zimbabwe today. When fate ties you up in a knot, you must do something about your plight to save your soul.
One would wonder if God could still afford to create miracles like he used to do during the time of Moses. Unlike Mugabe! Moses, he was a responsible leader and did not have a considerable salary or fringe benefits compared to the packages won by politicians like Robert. Mugabe owns several diamond mines and the Bank of Zimbabwe and possibly all the dry wells and barren farms. However, moving into a position of power has become a lucrative career move for him considering Robert is unwilling to relinquish his position. As if fate had bound all the citizens of Zimbabwe tightly, and each one of them was frozen like ice and made no move.
The question you should be asking yourself is! Are you ready, willing and committed to finding a way out of your darkest and most desperate destiny? If so, what price are they willing to pay to get what they want, that is, Freedom and Liberation, which will certainly have a price? Someone has to pay that price, but who? There must be a lamb to be sacrificed so that the light sheds on the darkness. But who is willing to be the scapegoat to define their course of a new dawn? William Wallace sacrifices himself to free his country from the English king. Nelson Mandela sacrificed himself from the Afrikaner to free the people from him. What are Zimbabweans willing to do?
Unfortunately the leadership roles that Moses and King Solomon held are anointed by God to be taken seriously and with repercussions did not fall from heaven. Did someone pay the price in advance, so that things would work out for a happy and successful nation or for the children of Israel? It is clear that God will not answer to secure the release of the Children of Zimbabwe in a new democratic dispensation. The question I keep asking myself is that; perhaps God – is he skeptical of the unreliable willingness, inability and lack of commitment of the people of Zimbabwe to support Morgan’s efforts and strategies to take over from Mugabe? Time is on Robert’s side to change now or face the chaotic consequences and bloodshed that would follow as civil war and anarchy.
After all, “whoever wears a hat should wear it.” If our prayers don’t; How would Moses have done it without the mercy and power of Almighty God? Pharaoh was the only legend of the past who allowed God’s miracles in the history of the oppression of mankind to experience his wrath and omnipotent power. Unlike manna that falls from the sky, I personally don’t think Robert Mugabe would give up his power so easily.
It is something that the people of Zimbabwe should learn to figure out and execute for themselves, before they can earn the right to free will and choice. It will not be easy for them to realize this without putting up a strong fight; and show commitment on their part as a united force. However, let us hope that our miracle prayers will rescue them, but God is currently preoccupied with other cosmic programs and commitment to justify giving Zimbabwe relief until the people themselves learn to mobilize clandestinely, internally or externally, and begin to formulate strategies to win his country. and dignity back.
That is what the ANC, SACP, PAC, AZAPO, SAZIM, SASCO, ASAZIM and various other black South African political movements and church organizations achieved in their effort to destroy apartheid. “God helps those who help themselves” seems to be God’s personal policy to help any oppressed people.
Fighting and the will to win and rule in the fight against economic fallout requires more than prayers and well wishes to overcome adversity. The people of Zimbabwe need a strong dogged and unwavering determination and a strong desire, if not a massive and deliberate drive, to want to be freed from the depression and downward economic spiral of their country. Hector Peterson and the rest of the youth in the Soweto riots of June 16, 1976 – it was South Africa’s grand prize – Their sacrifice paved the way for our freedoms in South Africa. For Zimbabweans, why aren’t you doing the same? When fate ties you up in a knot – what do you do?
