Prominent businessman and president of the Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe, Shingi Munyeza has urged Christians to vote in next year’s harmonised elections saying that they a special role to play in the revival of Zimbabwe’s fortunes. In an interview with weekly publication the Standard, Munyeza said:
Biblically speaking, Christians have a strategic role to play in a nation’s redemption, development and prosperity. Their primary responsibility being that they do so according to the will of God in expanding His kingdom and the church being the agent of the kingdom of God.
They need to hear the voice of God, proclaim it to the nation and be involved in the fulfilment of that proclamation.
Researches recently done show that the church has the strongest voice and the largest constituency yet our nation continues to be in an economic and leadership crisis, this is an oxymoron when we consider what the church’s role is.
In other words, the church is culpable for where we find ourselves as a nation. The only way to effect leadership change in a constitutional democracy is through voting. The Bible says we must not only be doers of the word but hearers as well. James 1:22.
…The church has concluded that we are where we are due to bad leadership, poor governance, greed, selfishness and outright cruelty.
This campaign should bring out the church, which has been forced into hiding through fear and intimidation. It should ensure we have the leadership that God wants.
