In Pursuit of Purpose- My Tribute to Dr. Myles Munroe (April 20, 1954- November 9, 2014)
At a time when I wasn't exactly sure what direction my life was taking, an aunt recommended a book by Myles Munroe titled ‘ In Pursuit of Purpose’ and that book changed my life. Growing up I really wanted to be a lawyer, in fact I recall telling my dad when I was 9 that I wanted to be the next Attorney General. Life happened and my A level results did not qualify me to go to Law school and my hopes were dashed. I then didn't know what I wanted to be anymore, I would pay and enroll for many courses and not finish and I was clueless. Then I read Dr. Myles Munro’s book.
I took stock of my life and realised that I enjoyed reading and writing, better still every time I wrote something and published it online I always had a lot of positive feedback. I began to document and file all the feedback I was getting for my writing and then I knew God had used Dr. Myles Munroe to help me discover my purpose. From the feedback I was getting from my readers I was able to gather that most of the feedback was from the really broken and also from women and it was from there that my ministry to women was birthed.I would also get a lot of feedback from what I would write about Zimbabwe from people who also genuinely love Zimbabwe.
Now every time a woman writes to me telling me how much my story of a myriad of painful tragedies in my life have given them courage and they start pouring themselves out to me,I want to do more than pray for them, I want to be a solution. God give me the capacity to publish my works so that other lives may be inspired and find hope. God give me the capacity to build a shelter for vulnerable mothers who have no where to go and don't know where to start. Give me the capacity Lord that I don't just turn them into charity cases but help empower them and equip them to be able to fend for themselves. God I pray give me the capacity to be an agent of change and reformation and rebuilding of my country and continent. Every time I meet like minded people who want to rebuild Zimbabwe or who are Pan- Africanists my heart skips a beat because I really want to see this happen...
Lord at the at end of my life journey I want you to say to me exactly what you are saying to Dr. Myles Munroe right now“Well done good and faithful servant”
“I want to challenge everyone to go to the cemetery and disappoint the graveyard. Die like the Apostle Paul who said I have finished my course, I have kept the faith and I have been poured out like a drink offering. There is nothing left. I am ready to die. That’s how I wanna die because there is nothing else for me left to die,” he told the show’s host, Jeff Koinange. “When you die, die like I am planning to die. Empty. It’s finished,”- Dr. Myles Munroe

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. Revelation 14:13

A sad loss to the Christian faith indeed. But we thank God that he had emptied himself for the Kingdom...
