WORD REFLECTION
THEME: Take It To God | Bitter But Not Canceled.

Rev July | 30 August 2026 | Jeremiah 15 vs 15-21.

✅ Jeremiah was facing a difficult life. Denied by all, even his own family. Jeremiah was preaching to Judah, yet instead of receiving the word of God, they denied it whilst worshipping other gods.

✅ Jeremiah always stood for justice, justice for the poor, but corruption was the greatest enemy. So is it in our own nations, where corruption is growing. Therefore, Jeremiah went before God asking Ishe Ronda Rangu Rinopora Rinhi because people denied his word.

✅ Even some today, it might be you unogona uchichema kuti Ronda Rangu Rinopera Rinhi. Jeremiah, in his pain he went to God, and he was honest with his feelings, telling him everything. In your pain, go to God.

✅ Jeremiah felt mocked and abandoned because of his calling. So he was asking God why me? As his call caused kurwadziwa kukuru.

✅ In this all God did not disturb Jeremiah, he left him to vent out, akaburitsa shungu dzake. In life, at times, leave others to vent, vaburitse shungu dzavo in their hearts.

✅ Jeremiah aive neshungu asi he knew where to vent out. He went to God. Many they don't know where to vent. Go to God!

✅ God allowed Jeremiah to vent his strong feelings, and God allowed him, and still after, he did not rebuke him but corrected him as in his feelings God saw he was becoming lost.

✅ In your feelings, you can be lost and draw away from God. As Jeremiah did, in your feelings, go back to God!

✅ Our brothers in the diaspora, where it can be hard and difficult. I say to you, go back to God. If we go back to God, he will restore you. If you want restoration, come back to God.

✅ What did you lose mushungu dzako? Some spoke bad words neshungu and lost something, but God will restore you!

✅ Jeremiah was bitter. Are you bitter? Go back to God because bitterness will not solve anything, hasha hadzina chandzinogadzira. Bitterness destroys, I say Go back to God like Jeremiah in your bitterness. "He will help you."

✅ Beloved of God, tsamwai, be angry, and God can handle your bitterness. Can you handle it yourself? No, you can't, God is saying, "Come back to me." He will handle the bitterness for you.

✅ What God said upon your life it will just happen despite your bitterness. NeHasha dzako zvichazongoitika. So why hold on to something that will not change what God said? Jeremiah was bitter, yet God refused to cancel his calling.

✅ God is saying be renewed! God restores broken souls and hearts. In your troubles, mumatambudziko ako ask God to restore you to become the person you are supposed to be.

✅ God said to Jeremiah, "Remember your identity. And who I am." As God said this to Jeremiah, he is saying, "Remember who you are and who I am." God is not moved by your bitterness. Mwari haasundwe neHasha dzako.

Go to God. Pedza Shungu Dzako. He will Restore You.

🌾 HARVEST LAUNCH & THANKSGIVING 🙏🏽

Every harvest is a testimony. Every blessing carries a story of God’s faithfulness. Every season reminds us that we did not get here by our strength alone. This Sunday, we gather as one family to pause, remember, and give thanks to the God who has sustained us, provided for us, protected us, and brought us this far.

Let us not only count the harvest in our hands, but also count the countless mercies of God in our lives. And as we give thanks, may our gratitude be expressed not only with our lips, but also through our generosity and substance.

Come with a grateful heart. Come ready to celebrate. Come ready to give thanks. 🌾

📅 Sunday, 16 August 2026
⏰ Mass starts at 7:30 AM

“Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever.” — Psalm 107:1
Remember the goodness. Honour the Giver. Celebrate the harvest. 🙏🏽🌾

A God who Remembers. A People who Forget.

How often do we forget the goodness of God?

We forget the doors He opened, the battles He fought for us, the provision He made, the protection He gave, and the countless blessings He has poured into our lives. We even forget that every breath we take is itself a gift from Him.

Yet God remembers us.
He remembers us when we are weak. He remembers our prayers, our needs, our struggles and our journeys. He continues to provide, sustain and bless us even when we fail to recognise His hand at work.

Today, let us pause and remember.
Remember what God has done.
Remember where He brought you from.
Remember the prayers He answered.
Remember the battles He fought for you.
Remember His provision and His faithfulness.

And let our remembrance produce gratitude.
Let us not only thank God with our words, but also with our lives, our faithfulness and our substance. Everything we have comes from Him.

Remember God. Live with gratitude.
