Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi ‘s powerful Easter Sunday sermon

Under your leadership, Mr. President, we have seen milestones achieved that must not be 

ignored:

  • The roads, 
  • the dams, 
  • the schools, 
  • irrigation schemes, 
  • food stability, 

These are not just infrastructure, they are testimonies of resurrection.

They are resurrection signs that Zimbabwe is alive, working, and walking toward its prophetic destiny.

We do not do good only until Easter or Resurrection

We do good until He returns

On Friday, it was Independence Day for Zimbabwe, 

And this year, Independence Day fell on Good Friday; 

A divine coincidence that calls for deep reflection

For what has been bought by blood cannot be lost easily.

On Independence Day, we honour the sons and daughters who fell for Zimbabwe’s freedom.

On Good Friday, we remember the Son of God who fell for the world’s redemption.

One bought us land. 

The other bought us salvation. 

One gave us a country. 

The other gave us a kingdom. 

Let this moment remind us: freedom is never free. 

It is sealed in sacrifice, and blood is the ultimate sacrifice. 

And Zimbabwe, like salvation, must be cherished, protected, and developed, 

Because it was paid for in blood. 

After the sacrifice, the spilled blood, then peace follows..

But what kind of peace shall we have if it is not rooted in righteousness?

Jesus wept over Jerusalem in Matthew 23:37, saying:

“How often I longed to gather you like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.”

Today, He speaks the same over Zimbabwe. 

He resurrects to gather us. 

He resurrects with a message of mercy. 

He resurrects to bless Zimbabwe with Peace –

Rugare

So to those who speak curses over this land; 

Remember Numbers 23 vs 8: “How can I curse whom God has not cursed?”

Zimbabwe is not cursed

It is chosen and Blessed

To maZion: What is your assignment today?

When Jesus rose, He gave Mary a mission: 

“Go and tell my disciples I am risen and I am in charge.” Matthew 28:7

To Mary, He said, “Kurumidzai!”

To us, He says the same

Go quickly. 

Go with power. 

Go with purpose.
