Pastors4ED Founder and National Chairperson, Prophetess Councillor Dr Idirashe Dongo has appealed to all Zimbabweans to pray for Form 4 students as they begin their final Ordinary Level examinations today (Monday).
In a statement that has been shared on various social media platforms, Dongo, who is also a prophetess and counsellor at Deborah House International and Zibagwe Rural District Council ward 30 councillor, said the examinations were not just an academic test but a spiritual battle that requires the whole nation to cover the exam candidates in prayer.
“Good day to all fellow countrymen in the 10 provinces and in the diaspora. Today (Monday) vana vedu vari kunyora muno muZimbabwe ma Form 4, vanoda isuse church tinamate navo (Today our children here in Zimbabwe, those in Form 4 are beginning their final exams, they need our prayers as the church,”Prophetess Dongo said.
“It is a defining moment yevana vedu kuti vachazove chii, the direction yacho inobva ipapa pavave apa (It is a defining moment for our kids as it is the starting point of their life careers).
Prophetess Dongo said there were spiritual disturbances emanating from families and other external forces that could cause illnesses, parents fights, family deaths, confusion, bad dreams, satanism in schools and excitement among students that could lead to unwanted pregnancies, hence affecting their examination writings.
She called on all Zimbabweans as “children of God” to pray for all children saying if they are successful in their exams it would be a blessing to the “prosperity of the whole nation.”
The woman of the cloth has been a rallying point for all pastors to pray for the nation and pushing President Emmerson Mnangagwa 2030 Vision of an upper middle income economy by then.
