Fear Is Reverse Faith

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga

What you fear, you revere, and it rules you. Your beliefs will be melted away, and your fears will reign. Yet, when asked, you always refer to your assumed faith, despite having faith in things you cannot approve of.

Reverse Faith: A Lack or Distortion of Faith

Reverse faith can be understood as a lack, absence, or deficiency of faith, leading to skepticism, doubt, or unbelief. It's a deliberate rejection or opposition to faith, potentially driven by a desire to challenge or discredit established beliefs. Reverse faith can also be a twisted or distorted form of faith, where individuals place their trust in negative or harmful ideologies, leading to destructive consequences.

The Contrast: Faith or Reverse Faith

The relationship between faith and Reverse Faith is complex. While faith refers to a deep-seated trust, confidence, and devotion to a higher power, ideology, or principle, Reverse Faith is a mindset that reveres fear and negativity.

Faith Paradox: Holding Both Perspectives

Can individuals simultaneously hold both faith and Reverse Faith? This paradox raises interesting questions about the complexities of human belief systems.

The Consequences of Reverse Faith

Embracing Reverse Faith can lead to increased anxiety, fear, and destructive behaviors. This mindset can also affect relationships, decision-making, and overall well-being.

Faith in Action: Positive Examples

In contrast, traditional faith can have a profoundly positive impact on individuals and communities. Sharing stories of faith in action can inspire and encourage readers.

Conclusion: A Call to Reflection

As we explore the concepts of faith and Reverse Faith, we're reminded that our beliefs have the power to shape our lives. Take a moment to reflect on your own faith and beliefs. Are there areas where you're holding onto Reverse Faith? How can you cultivate a deeper sense of faith and trust in your life?

My obituary to Rev E Kamupira

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Rev E Kamupira was my childhood model of Christianity, his teachings resonated well and shaped my beliefs. I knew Rev E Kamupira since my Sunday School days at St Stephens Chitungwiza Circuit. Sundays weren’t the same each time Rev Kamupira came to preach. Rev Kamupira was a product of United Methodist Church crusade of teachings though he had a Pentecostal touch that kind of made him popular within and without of United Methodist Church. His fearless gospel suited well with congregants in an independent Zimbabwe. From hearing his teachings far away from the terraces I ended up privileged sharing the same church with Rev Kamupira in Waterfalls. I had also rose to a promising Administrator in the United Methodist Church. I had a mutual relationship with Elison Kamupira. We discussed our church current affairs and shared the gospel. Rev Kamupira was a very respectful person who ...

Greener Pastures Do Not Secure A Fat Cow

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Just like cows seeking greener pastures, humans are drawn to opportunities that promise better living standards. However, I pose a critical question: do greener pastures truly guarantee prosperity if the underlying conditions are flawed? Perhaps the lack of progress is not due to the absence of opportunities, but rather the result of haphazard approaches, poor planning, and neglected resources. In the pursuit of a better life, many Africans seek opportunities in diaspora, enticed by promises of higher salaries and improved living standards. Yet, I firmly believe that true fulfillment and lasting impact can only be achieved by addressing the underlying conditions that hinder our progress in our own autonomous land – a land where we have territorial integrity. These underlying conditions include : 1. Absent value creation mechanisms : Failing to harness value from our resources and talents, instead relying on others for validation. 2. Disunity : Lac...

It’s Not The End Of The World

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga This story is based on a true story and I have edited names so that someone is inspired out there. Resilience makes great changes in people's lives, don't commit Suicide Fadzai sat on the edge of her bed, feeling empty and defeated. She had never felt so alone in her life. Thomas’s brief and dismissive response on the phone had left her reeling. She thought about her daughter, Rungano, who was now misbehaving at school, and how she was struggling to cope with the absence of her father. Thomas had gone to South Africa for greener pastures leaving Fadzai with their only daughter behind. The plan was to relocate to South Africa as soon as Thomas had settled. In the first six months Thomas supported Fadzai with groceries, school fees and rentals. A shift began after Thomas had started seeing other women in South Africa. Thomas started sending money enough for rentals, school fees and a few groceries. The...
