President attends Christmas Eve church service
“We went to Kafuwe Mission, which is also a Methodist institution but I later left to join the liberation struggle. When we came back from war I attended church services here briefly while staying in Tynwald but I stopped again.”
President Mnangagwa said the First Lady convinced him to go to church in Kwekwe, adding that he always told her that God listens to prayers even if you do not make them in church.
“She always insists that we go to church where others are congregating. Today she (First Lady) was successful like she was in Kwekwe where we attended church, I think about three times.” He said he would continue attending church as only God knew what transpires each and every day. President Mnangagwa said he might have some aspirations but only God knows what the future holds. “Shoko rinoti iro, ungaronga zvaunoronga. Uye kana uchida kuti Mwari akuseke, nyora plan yako uti mangwana ndichaita zvakati, svondo rinouya ndichaita zvakati, gore rinouya ndichaita zvakati. Oti Mwari, hona zvandirikuda kuita. Anoseka nokuti iye ndiye anokurongera zvauchava mangwana. Asi ukati, ahh kana Mwari achida ndichaita izvi unenge wakudza kuziva kuti une Musiki. Saka kana Mwari achida, ndichangoramba ndichiuya tichisangana (The Word says a person can plan but if you do so without putting God first, your plans will not succeed. Only God knows your future. You must always say ‘God willing I will do this and that.’ So, God willing I will continue worshipping together with you here,” he said.
e First Lady said, “I do not have much to say but I came from Kwekwe. I am one of you. Let us congregate together.”
