Chiwenga 'Reminds' Church Not To Forget Its Secular Duties

Acting President CDNG Chiwenga told church leaders in Bulawayo on Sunday that success will not come easily but through blood, tears and sweat. He spoke this at a national thanksgiving and dedication service organised by the Faith for the Nation Campaign.

Chiwenga said that the church has a secular duty to play. He added that it is not bad to crave for all things to be good.

Many of us cry over sanctions and all the difficulties they have brought on our lives. As your leaders, we fully understand your craving for all things to be good, easy and beautiful but the scriptures plainly and loudly tell us finding our own corner of the earth is no walk in the park.

You struggle, sweat, bleed, suffer or even die for that which is yours. Our nation went through all these tribulations and still continues to be punished for recovering that which rightfully belongs to it.

I am not tempting the church away from its divine path, but only reminding it of its secular duties.

As congregants, we are the body of Christ and as citizens, we are the bodies out of which God has made our nation of Zimbabwe, the same way he moulded the nation of Israel out of all who belong to it.

Nations are built on fraternal love, not on hate and derision, yet we see much hate and spite nowadays. We see hate speech and ill-will even flowing from the pulpit. We cannot build God’s nation on negative sentiments, more so when it comes from those who must radiate love and show the path of virtue.

Lately, we have witnessed men and women of the cloth grabbing one another by the collar, calling each other names and throwing pieces of furniture at each other in the house of God. What an abomination!

The church should not succumb to bodily urges, but preach peace and love in the world; teach us to revere the elderly and preach forgiveness and reconciliation.
