Sometimes when I visit Celebration Church, I am deeply moved by their prayer room. In the middle of that room lies a map of Zimbabwe. For years, intercessors have stood in that place and in many other places across the nation, lifting Zimbabwe, its leaders, and its people before the Lord. These prayers have become the heartbeat of a nation that refuses to give up on its divine destiny. The prosperity of Zimbabwe is not based on the strength of men, but on the strength and love of God over this land. The Bible declares, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Humility is the key that opens the door to national healing. To humble oneself is to submit to the will and word of God. Humility is not weakness; it is spiritual strength. It is when a people choose to align themselves with what God has spoken over their nation. The Bible says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6). Zimbabwe has remained a nation that prays, a nation that seeks God’s grace. Across cities, towns, and villages, the sound of prayer has never stopped rising to heaven. And though to the eyes of the world we may appear as the least, I believe that the last shall be first, as Jesus said in Matthew 20:16, “So the last will be first, and the first last.” Even by alphabetical order, Zimbabwe often comes last, but in the plan of God, this nation carries a prophetic destiny to rise.
For years, we have prayed and sought the face of God. Now I believe it is time for the people of Zimbabwe to position themselves to receive what has already been released through those prayers. Heaven has heard, and the earth is about to respond. I remember writing before that Zimbabwe is not cursed but blessed, and that we must stay in the land. Those words still stand true today. God has not abandoned Zimbabwe. He has been preparing her for greatness. As Psalm 85:12 says, “The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.”
The people of Zimbabwe are among the most hardworking, patient, humble, and peaceful in the world. When many expected uprising, Zimbabwe chose peace. When others thought the nation would collapse, its people stood firm and continued to build. The words of Jesus remain true over this land: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God” (Matthew 5:9). The peace-loving nature of Zimbabweans is not a sign of weakness, but of spiritual maturity. Our greatest wealth is not found in our diamonds, minerals, or oil, but in our people—their endurance, their faith, and their hope.
When the diamonds of Chiadzwa were discovered, it was not just an economic event; it was a prophetic sign. God was saying to Zimbabwe, “There is wealth in your land.” And I believe there is still more that shall be revealed. As the Lord says in Isaiah 45:3, “I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.” Beyond natural resources, there are spiritual and human treasures that God is raising to bring transformation and prosperity to the nation.
My prayer for Zimbabwe is that her people will remain in the place of humility and prayer. God is not finished with this land. A great season of prosperity and restoration is coming, and the Lord declares, “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former” (Haggai 2:9). Zimbabwe, your prayers have been heard. Your humility has moved heaven. You shall see the hand of God manifest in your land, upon your leaders, and among your people. God bless Zimbabwe, and God bless its leaders.
