I just had to share what a friend shared with me this morning.
"Zimbabwe Financials
In August 2006 the RBZ slashed 3 zeros under Operation Sunrise, in what to the people of Zimbabwe was supposed to become a relief to them from the burden of carrying huge quantities of worthless notes.
Exaclty 2 years after that, the RBZ this time slashed 10 zeros that is ( 3 + 7) that is the initial 3 zeros were back and 7 others. I will try and explain this occurence in a bibilcal manner hoping it is fully articulated
From Luke 11 verse 24 -26" When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first." KJV
So when a spirit is cast out, if the Christian is not fully equipped with the word, Holy Spirit, he will find himself in a worse state. I would want to think thats what happened to the Economy of Zim. We removed three zeros, like the unclean spirit the zeros were wandering about seeking a place of rest but found none, all the other countries had sound financial and economic policies in place, so they came back to Zim and found the house swept clean, but empty, no policy in place and what did they do; they invited 7 more zeros deadly than the first 3 and we had to slash now (3 + 7) zeros
3 months down the line after the removal of (3 + 7) zeros; the zeros are back; the 10 which were slashed are here; are they surveying the landscape to see if there is any policy that has been put in place;
The house is clean but empty; no policies so if nothing is done it means we will have (10 + 7) zeros and the seven more deadly than the ten
Please pray for our nation;"
No wonder I love my circle of friends ;)
This walk
I struggle with placing people
Placing them where they ought to be
Sometimes I feel violated when I discover that someone was just being that way so as to fit the occasion
This happens with people I barely know but am in constant contact with
One thing I cannot do is just put you into a class and stick u there till u do something to prove that I put u in the wrong class
I tried that but every time they’d come out of that class by the third meeting
I guess I’m just a bad judge of character
I like talking with people and finding more about them I hate it when for some reason they end up thinking I’m interested in them more than the next person
Sometimes with the pretty cool ones we get to converse about this and straighten things out coz with people I just kinda get involved in some way- so to speak
NO! I’m not nosy
I’m just interested in people- for the moments when I’ve got nothing better to do
There are some I’ve had to quickly write off to the trash bin when I find out more about who they are
There are types I don’t wanna hang around coz of what they’re reputed to do
I don’t hang around to prove for myself- it’s enough them not denying the said reputation
Those I just write off
The shady ones are the ones I struggle with
They don’t stick around long enough for u to get to know who or what they really are
They like entering with just constant shows of ‘goodness’ so that they stay on the ‘maybe good’ list
It’s irritating when they get to know that they’re on that list
I think I’m that open as regards them knowing where they stand with me
And they sometimes abuse that
I now see them for who they really are- deceivers
They’re up to no good so I ignore them most of the time
I hate idle talk and that’s what these people are full of
I love constructive talk
I don’t chat just for the sake of chatting
Thru chatting with people u get to know a person’s traits, strengths and weaknesses
When I get to know such I try as much as possible to find out if the person knows that’s how they come out as to the general populous and not just myself
If it’s known and they don’t mind then we start from there
I believe that we build our character thru life
It’s not a once of thing that happens in one’s youth or at a later stage in life
We evolve as regards character-my view
So thru conversing I get to shape and mould the mouldable characters towards what they ought to in God’s world
Obviously I’ve got my view of what that is but the barest basics is what I focus on with people who are agreeable to character building with a vision
I’ve now gotten to appoint with people where I feel it’s my duty to do that- Nudge them in the path of light
I love people so much I cannot help with interacting with them on whatever level
I just love it that some people acknowledge that it’s what we’re here for –help each other out walk the mile
After all it’s a long while to be quiet and doing the wrong stuff knowing that at the end of this journey there’s an assessment that’s going to be on how we walked the mile
So walk the mile with me.

Thank you
The spirit of gratefulness is seldom allowed to settle on many people
Most of those who let it court them, begrudgingly do so
Why they have to be forced to acknowledge that something indeed needs their thanks I wonder about
I’m talking about things that come delivered on a silver platter
To get someone to acknowledge that it has come on a silver platter is difficult
NOTE: to GET them to acknowledge
They do not freely acknowledge
“Yes, it’s on a silver platter, but I also wanted my name engraved on the platter”
I do pray for those I know who cannot freely say ‘thank you’
Many people say thanks out of obligation
I think it’s also becoz we think many of these things are due to us anyway
I don’t know how they get to thinking that way
But that’s the only way I can explain such things
Maybe I’m expecting too much out of people
But how much do they expect to get for zilch?
A LOT
A job, a house, a car, a family, beautiful children, food daily, wealth, holidays, free time……
The list is actually endless
They should come round to reality and answer the question that u’ll be asked around here if u expect something from the blue
“kuti waitei?” = “What have u done to deserve that?”
I think next time before complaining about what we don’t have and should have
Ask yourself ‘ what have I done?”
Once u can ask yourself that u can naturally be able to ask again, “Do I deserve all this good fortune?”
And when u realise that the answer to the last question is NO, u’ll see that giving thanks will be second nature
There are many people who don’t have it as easy as we do
The basics which we expect daily, some only wish for
Most have never even experienced them
They just know it’s possible and daily pray/work/wait for their turn to come
Our turn is now and we do not acknowledge it
How harder can our hearts get
I sometimes weep in the spirit
We still want more
Oh! what are we?

There’s this thing I notice is starting to happen most times I make a shout out, some positive things are reversed or some things don’t come thru. Now I know who’s behind this whole scam- the devil.
He’s trying to make me quiet until I have the deliverables in my hands, then I make a shout out –or hopes I’ll forget about it.
Do u remember what Israel’s biggest sin was?
Forgetting
Simple- forgetfulness
There’s a Shona saying ‘ kukanganwa chazuro nehope’ translated becomes ‘forgetting about yesterday coz u slept’
Now if I were to wait for deliverance for me to make my announcement and give thanks, wouldn’t it be inevitable that I’d forget some things and not give thanks at all?
I’d rather count on my faith and make a shout out even if something is at 10% of being delivered. What I know with God is that it will get to 100% in His time.
There are so many things that distract us from giving thanks
This is quite common when we wait for the bird to be in hand and discount the many in the bush. We forget who gave us that bird coz of the joyous mood and the festivities
So I’ll declare all my joys even the ones in faith even before receiving
Has He said and not done so?
