President of Zimbabwe praying in Jesus name for deliverance from Corona

A unique multi-faith prayer service at State House was the centre of the National Day of Prayer yesterday with the full spectrum of Christian groups — Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Evangelical and indigenous — plus representatives of the Islamic, Jewish and Hindu faiths converging to seek healing from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Day of National Prayer and Fasting was called by President Mnangagwa for Zimbabweans to commit themselves to repentance and deliverance in the face of the pandemic and the measures needed to confront it and beat it.
Presiding over the occasion, the President urged religious leaders to lead the way in nourishing souls of the people at a time of great adversity. He said in love, peace and unity Zimbabwe shall overcome.
The special service upheld the strict coronavirus guidelines, which include social distancing, the wearing of face masks and gatherings of people in small groups, with each faith group having a single representative.
First Lady Amai Auxillia Mnangagwa, Vice Presidents Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi and several Cabinet ministers were also in attendance.
In his short address, the President said while he had declared June 15 as the National Day of Fasting and Prayer, the Bible implored people to observe God’s commandments by praying regularly.
“Today we come boldly before the heavenly throne of grace standing on the scripture, as I highlighted in the declaration of this day; found in 2nd Chronicles 7 v 13-15 which reads . . . ‘if I send pestilence among my people and people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open and my ears attend to the prayer that is made in this place’.
“We therefore gather in prayer, in the total belief and knowledge that the word of God is true for indeed ‘Heaven and earth will pass away but his word, shall not pass away’ (Matthew 24 v 35). We are also confident that God watches over his word, to perform it,” President Mnangagwa said.
The President said God’s word is clear that pestilences such as Covid-19 would come as a warning to people to leave their sinful ways. As such, President Mnangagwa said Zimbabweans had two choices to make in light of the pandemic; either to repent and seek God’s help or continue to live in defiance of his word.
“In Zimbabwe we have chosen to be part of the first category of those who humble themselves, acknowledging God and glorifying him as God,” he said.
So far the global pandemic has killed four people in Zimbabwe with 383 infections and 54 recoveries but statistics worldwide are grimmer with close to half a million fatalities and close to 10 million confirmed cases along with millions more that were never tested.
Although Zimbabwe has kept the disease at bay, largely due to a raft of measures that were rolled by the Government such as social distancing, wearing masks and limiting movements — the President said the country still has to pray to God for total deliverance.
“We have chosen to repent and to seek his mercy, help, healing and healing in the face of this deadly coronavirus pandemic. I as your President have no hesitation in leading and calling us all to this path of seeking divine help.”
President Mnangagwa then led the nation in prayer asking for God’s forgiveness for the country’s sins, idol worshipping and worshipping of false gods, immorality and injustice and corruption that have made the poor die.
After the President’s address, religious leaders took turns to offer prayers.
The Master of Ceremonies, Reverend Andrew Wutawunashe, emphasised the importance of prayer as he appealed to the nation to observe a few moments of devotion to the Lord, so that all sins are forgiven, and new avenues are opened for the good of the nation. Declaring that God is the Lord, he asked for the nation’s protection against the ravaging coronavirus.
Patron of the indigenous churches Nehemiah Mutendi thanked President Mnangagwa for convening such a gathering. He described President Mnangagwa as a rare breed of God-fearing presidents he had met.
“I would like to thank the President for this service. Of all the presidents I have seen, he is the only one that has shown respect and acknowledged that there is a higher authority than him,” Bishop Mutendi said.
He added that because of the Day of Fasting and Prayer, Zimbabwe had overcome the Covid-19 pandemic.
“As the Bible says, any commitment made here on earth would be bound in heaven. This service is a proclamation of the defeat of the pandemic,” Bishop Mutendi added.
Mrs Egnes Sithole, who joined the session under the banner of the Zimbabwe Interdenominational Council of Churches, said she believed life could never be the same again as the nation joined in prayer against the pandemic, and all other ills bedevilling the Motherland.
On the other hand, Madzibaba Moses Gwasira of Johane Masowe WeChishanu in Highfield said it was important for Zimbabweans to know that God had all solutions to life’s challenges.
“As Zimbabweans we should know that God has the answers to the problems and challenges we face so I thank the President for dedicating this day to praying and seeking God’s healing.
“Going forward we should have a day like this where we dedicate our country to God and not to only think of him when we have problems,” he said.
In his remarks VP Mohadi thanked the President for leading from the front in the fight against the pandemic. He said: “Our guest of honour President Mnangagwa has led from the front in the fight against the pandemic and believes that our culture and religion are at the centre of people’s lives.”
VP Chiwenga said yesterday’s prayer session would deliver the nation from the effects of the pandemic: “There is also no known cure for this pandemic to date but we know there can be a cure from God if we pray and submit to him like we have done today.”

President Donald Trump’s proposal for a new savings account for children with a one-time deposit of $1,000 from the federal government just got an important stamp of approval.
At the “Invest America” roundtable at the White House this week, several top CEOs, including Michael Dell and Goldman Sachs chief David Solomon, expressed support for “Trump Accounts,” which are part of the landmark Republican-backed “big beautiful bill” moving through Congress. The executives committed to contributing to the accounts of their employees’ children, and, in Dell’s case, matching the government’s seed money “dollar for dollar.”
Still, policy experts and financial advisors question whether the provision is the most effective way to save on behalf of your child.
How ‘Trump Accounts’ would work
Under the House measure, Trump Accounts — previously known as “Money Accounts for Growth and Advancement” or “MAGA Accounts” — can later be used for education expenses or credentials, the down payment on a first home or as capital to start a small business. Earnings grow tax-deferred, and qualified withdrawals are taxed at the long-term capital-gains rate.

Trump’s massive tax and spending bill still faces a battle in the Senate, but if it passes as drafted, parents and others will be able to contribute up to $5,000 a year to a child’s Trump Account. The balance would be invested in a diversified fund that tracks a U.S.-stock index.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who spearheaded the effort, told CNBC in May that the accounts give children “the ability to accumulate wealth, which is transformational.”
“This will afford a generation of children the chance to experience the miracle of compounded growth and set them on a course for prosperity from the very beginning,” the White House also said in a statement Monday.
Some experts say the biggest benefit of Trump Accounts is the seed money for all children born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Jan. 1, 2029, funded by the Department of the Treasury.
There are no income requirements. To be eligible, the child must be a U.S. citizen and both parents must have Social Security numbers.
Although some states, including Connecticut and Colorado, already offer a type of “baby bonds” program for parents, Trump Accounts — along with a bigger child tax credit proposed in the budget bill and potential employer-sponsored matching funds — “could certainly help a lot of families at a lot of different income levels,” Sam Taube, NerdWallet’s lead investing writer, recently told CNBC.
Invested in a broad equity index fund for 20 years, a $1,000 government grant for newborns could grow to an average $8,000, according to a March report from the Milken Institute. “If the policy also permitted a tax-deductible match by employers of the children’s parents, such initial matches would double an account’s value,” researchers wrote.
Trump Accounts are expensive, ‘needlessly complex’
Depositing $1,000 into an account “is a good idea, but with a critically important caveat,” said Mark Higgins, senior vice president at Index Fund Advisors and author of “Investing in U.S. Financial History: Understanding the Past to Forecast the Future.”
With Trump Accounts, “the costs are the key,” he said: “If it keeps adding to the deficit, it is not sustainable.” (By some accounts, the program could cost more than $3 billion a year.)
“The biggest challenge for this country right now is that we have lived beyond our means,” he said. “Over the last 230 years, Congress has passed countless programs like this, which provide short-term benefits that are almost invariably dwarfed by the long-term costs.”
Universal savings accounts, which allow for more flexibility, would be a better proposal than the House provision, said Adam Michel, director of tax policy studies at the Cato Institute, a public policy think tank.
Universal savings accounts have had bipartisan support going back as far as the Clinton administration, and without the initial deposit, would come a much lower cost. They have also been successfully implemented in other countries, including Canada and the United Kingdom, according to the Tax Foundation.
Further, Trump Accounts are “overly restricted and needlessly complex,” Michel said. “A simpler system is a better way to get people to save.”
With a universal savings account, individuals could contribute up to $10,000 of after-tax income a year and withdraw the funds tax-free at any time for any purpose, according to Michel.
“It’s the flexibility that entices people,” he said. “Maybe you want to use that money to start or expand a business or buy a house or an investment property — let people choose what’s best for their lives.”
‘The 529 college savings plan is superior’
Another alternative is a tapping 529 college savings plan, which nearly every state offers.
These 529 plans have much higher contribution limits, earnings grow on a tax-advantaged basis, and when a child withdraws the money, it is tax-free if the funds are used for qualified education expenses. This year, individuals can gift up to $19,000 to a 529, or up to $38,000 if you’re married and file taxes jointly, per child without those contributions counting toward your lifetime gift tax exemption.
Although there are more limitations on what 529 funds can be applied to compared to Trump Accounts, restrictions have loosened in recent years to include continuing education classes, apprenticeship programs and student loan payments.

Christian Baker Terrorized by Disturbing Threats, Legal Chaos Over Cake Refusal Won’t Back Down

The attorney for a Christian baker who has been targeted by California officials over her refusal to make a cake for a same-sex couple is hoping to take the shocking case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Adèle Keim, senior counsel at Becket, told CBN News that baker Cathy Miller, owner of Tastries shop in Bakersfield, California, has been in a years-long battle after declining to make a cake for a same-sex couple.
“What started this battle is Cathy’s faith,” Keim said. “Cathy Miller is a woman of faith. She’s also a creative person. She’s had her hands in all kinds of things. She has been a wedding planner, she taught for years at a Christian school, and her dream was always to open her own custom bakery, so she did that.”
Once marijuana was legalized in California, Miller started having customers come in asking for weed brownies and other sexually-themed treats that she wasn’t comfortable making, so she set standards about what would and wouldn’t be acceptable for her to offer.
“She created what she calls the design standards,” Keim said, noting Miller avoids grotesque Halloween themes, adult-themed products, and has other such restrictions, including the decision not to create products celebrating divorces or gay marriages.
In 2017, the situation came to a head when a same-sex couple requested a wedding cake. Miller reportedly politely declined and offered to instead send them to a willing baker.
But that couple reportedly became frustrated and filed a complaint.
“They ignited a firestorm on social media,” Keim said. “They accused her of turning them away harshly, turning them away completely, which she hadn’t been trying to do. She’d been trying to work with them and help them as much as she could in good conscience — and she has been in court ever since.”
Keim said Miller is being persecuted by her own government, noting the case has volleyed through the courts. While the baker scored a victory stating she couldn’t be compelled to operate against her sincerely-held views, California won on appeal and the California Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
This means Miller will be appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court, with Keim hoping the justices take up the religious liberty battle.
“It’s the California Civil Rights Department that has gone after Cathy for these past seven or eight years,” she said. “During this time, this seven or eight-year period, the U.S. Supreme Court has said twice … when it comes to the wedding vendors who have a conscientious objection, ‘Back off. Back off.’ They said that in Masterpiece Cake Shop, which also involved a cake artist in Colorado, and they said it in 303 Creative, which involved a wedding website designer.”
Keim continued, “So the U.S. Supreme Court has spoken very clearly, and California courts have not had ears to hear.”
The conflict seems to be, according to Keim, California’s purported belief that civil rights law trumps the U.S. Constitution, an idea she rejects.
“The U.S. Constitution was intended to protect the rights of all Americans, no matter where they live in the country,” she said.
Ultimately, she said California has sought to fine Miller and to “stop her from doing any wedding cakes at all if she doesn’t do all the wedding cakes that the state wants her to do.”
Beyond the legal ramifications, Keim said her client has also faced threats of rape, hatred, and an endless stream of messages from people angry over her position. These attacks have also been waged against her staff, with California’s ongoing push against Miller helping drive the chaos, according to Keim.
As CBN News previously reported, Miller has spoken openly herself about the day she declined the cake — and everything else that followed.
“I prayed very hard, and I asked the Lord to give me wisdom,” Miller told CBN News in 2023. “And I just started visiting with them, and I told them I couldn’t do their cake … I said, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t hurt my Lord and Savior. I can’t participate in this union because … God says it’s a sacrament between a man and a woman.’”
These faith-based sentiments might not have shocked many who frequented the bakery, as Christian music often plays inside, with books and Bibles on display.
Miller also addressed the fact that she referred the couple to another person whom she described as “an amazing decorator” — a fellow baker who is part of the LGBTQ community and is married to another woman. In the past, this option worked well for customers in similar situations.
But this time was different.
“I was shocked, and I know they were upset, but I did not think that it would go this far,” Miller said. “I did not realize that, within two hours, we would be bombarded by hate mail, death threats, rape threats. The media was storming into our bakery.”
As Keim and Becket seek to take the case to the Supreme Court, the attorney encouraged prayer for her client.
“Pray for Cathy … pray for the people around them that have stood with them through all of this persecution,” she said. “And if you have someone in your life who’s taking a stand for their faith … keep them in your prayers.”

In Case You Missed It: President Trump’s Message on Pentecost, 2025

I join in prayer with Christians joyfully celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost—one of the most sacred events of the Christian faith. We commemorate the fulfillment of Jesus Christ’s earthly mission and the birth of His holy and living Church.
On Pentecost, 50 days after Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead on Easter Sunday, the Holy Spirit descended upon His Apostles in the form of a mighty wind—empowering them to speak in tongues and proclaim the Good News of the Gospel to lands and peoples near and far. “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,” the Apostle Peter boldly declared.
Equipped with the courage, clarity, and grace of Almighty God, in the years that followed, the Apostles went on to withstand tremendous danger to bring hearts, minds, and souls to the Christian faith—marking the beginning of the Church, against which even the evils of Hell shall not prevail. More than 2,000 years later, the Holy Spirit continues to descend upon all those who proclaim Christ’s name—enabling them to spread The Gospel.
As we celebrate this glorious feast day, we also honor all Christians who, like the Apostles, have willingly endured persecution because of their faith. My Administration will always defend the right of every American to worship God freely and without fear. For this reason, I created the White House Faith Office and proudly instituted the White House Religious Liberty Commission to safeguard and promote America’s founding principle of religious freedom. Under my leadership, we are protecting God in the public square and emboldening every Believer to live their faith freely, openly, and without threat of persecution.
As we celebrate the miracle of Pentecost and birth of Christ’s Church, we pray that the Holy Spirit fills our Nation and her people with abundant grace—bringing us peace, protection, and God’s presence.
May God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America. Have a blessed Pentecost.
