Most Christians get gripped with paranoia, at the mention of Church of Scientology. Like various Christian denominations, I suppose the Church of Scientology carries its share of irregularities. But I desire not to dwell much on irregularities, except on things that add value. A few years ago, I hobnobbed with…
Christianity serves to invalidate God’s Kingdom?
It will surprise many that the term ‘Christianity’ is of pagan origin (Acts 11:26). Jesus Christ never instructed His followers to call themselves Christians. The few times of mentioning the term, by Paul and once by Peter, resulted from its general usage by the gentiles. Jesus Christ had referred Himself…
The only way through is going through
The most feared enemy of humanity is death, which even Jesus feared (Matthew 26:39-44). But Jesus revealed that salvation was not possible without going through death. Through Jesus’ experience at Gethsemane; it is no longer necessary to fear death (1 Corinthians 15:57). It is undeniable that everyone wants life. The…
Misunderstood words cause confusion
In my earlier post [here] I revealed that Zimbabwean confusion lies in failure to distinguish between democracy and monarch. Those clamouring for Mugabe to remain in power after 2018, regard Him as king. To them, Zimbabwe is a monarch and not a republic. The difference between a republic and a…

Defending the Pharisees, Apostles, Seventh Day Adventists, Worldwide Church of God and Grace Communion International
This dissertation defends those institutions associated with my Christian background. Another irony of Christianity, characterized in denominationalism, is being unsympathetic to those considered heretical. Yet love is unconditional. Paul attempted to address this problem in Romans 14. But, Christians remain stuck, without realizing the venomous effect of such behaviour. The…
False data stripping, towards true leadership
The current civilization is replete with false data that need stripping. Sadly, while expected to enlighten, the current educational system contributes to the enforcement of false data. True education ought to lead an individual towards discovery of true identity. You may have heard statements like: “You have to be born…
A kingdom is not a democracy
World rulers are not necessarily kings. But kings are rulers. Human civilizations are characterized by the fact that kingdoms rise and wane. Though, in recent times the number of kingdom states has significantly been reduced. Democracy has been adopted as the most civilized form of governance. Democracy implies governance by…
Can anyone despise God?
To despise other people, regardless of how evil, is to despise God (Proverbs 17:5). For instance, those considered as normal people, gloat at the calamities befalling the evil ones. But despising a person created in God’s image carries ramification of invalidating the one who created the evil person in His…
The ray of hope
The last few weeks reveal developments that give some ray of hope for Zimbabwe. I was particularly impressed by young people taking up leadership responsibility on issues affecting our country. Pastor Evan Mawarire did not disappoint. This was unlike another shining star, in the mould of Acie Lumumba who just…
