On June 25th, President Robert Mugabe of the Nation of Zimbabwe, stood before thousands of people in the national stadium and prayed the following prayer dedicating the nation to Jesus Christ.  Apostle Alexander Chisango, who chaired this event, delivered the prayer to us last weekend, and I am now sharing it with you.  I trust that you will all recognize the tremendous significance and historic impact of what this hallmark event means to the nation and to the world.  Before the President prayed he confessed his sins and the sins of the nation, and then he made this declaration:

"Lord God Almighty, We acknowledge You as the Creator, Original Visionary, and Sole Proprietor of the nation of Zimbabwe, and all the nations of the earth.  We realize that we are only trustees of what is Yours.  We also acknowledge that our very lives came from You and thus we belong to You.

Forgive us for any misappropriation or abuse of that which You have entrusted to us; namely our very lives and the nation of Zimbabwe.  Pardon us and grant us the power to repent from every wrong doing.  We acknowledge our failures before You and our need of You.  Forgive us for not depending on You as we should.

We invite You, Almighty God, to take Your rightful place in our land.  Jesus, be the Lord of our land.  Jesus, we declare You the Lord of Zimbabwe now and forever.  May you make Zimbabwe a lighthouse of righteousness.  May you restore all its fortunes.  May Zimbabwe, once again, become the breadbasket of Africa.  May it, once again, shine like a jewel among the nations.

We pray all this in Jesus' name. Amen."
