Season of Growth

By Edgar Muzvidzwa

Season of Growth builds connections among nature, religion, and the dynamics of human lives, beginning with the revelation the author received through watching rain falling in Waterfalls, Harare, and communicated through the preaching of the Season of the Spirit from his church pastor. With revelatory wit, the book is an effective guide to the basics of perpetuating growth in all domains of life, including business, spirituality, education, relationships, and professionalism. It gives hints for sustainable growth and pitfalls to avoid if growth is to be maintained.

PREFACE

I n January 2022, I got a revelation about the growth that takes place in people’s lives, spirituality, business, and other domains. Nature has provided revelations to scientists, engineers, music composers, transporters, and many other professions. Inventions like the bullet train are concepts that were derived from nature. My revelation came through seeing showers of rain.

In life, you sometimes get an insight which you are convinced is not for you alone. The longer you go without sharing it with others, the more it becomes a burden to you. This was the feeling that I got when I received this revelation about the season of growth. It may be a bit similar to what prophet Jeremiah was feeling when he said, It was like fire in my bones (Jeremiah 20:9).

I am a writer and have made several economic and management contributions to local and international newspapers, journals, and online platforms. During the pandemic, I wrote a book titled Deeper COVID-19 Social, Political and Economic Revelations. I have become a person who writes what he sees and encounters. In this book, my writing is to a large extent linked to nature, spirituality, and management as the main platforms of discussing the season of growth.

In Season of Growth, I extract lessons from nature and teach you how to understand the seasons, the key considerations in the season of growth, and the important realities that enable you to have sustainable growth in any domain.

THE REVELATION

I n January 2022, I was in Zimbabwe when my church pastor apostle Augustine Bura declared the year 2022 the season of the Spirit. As an assembly, we began the year with a period of prayer and fasting from 2 January to 13 January. My wife Ottilia and I participated in the prayer and fasting for those days. As usual, we took it seriously and passionately, as most people did, especially since this was the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Who knows—one could do it just to seek God’s protection from the coronavirus disease.

Coincidentally, January falls within the rainy season in Zimbabwe, which begins around October and ends around March. One day I was meditating as rain was falling in our area, and I felt that God was giving me a revelation that the season of the Spirit is like the rainy season in the natural. Sometimes when a spiritual
