Wilson Katumba to Launch New Book “Honour First, then Glory” in Mutare

Living Waters International Church founder Wilson Katumba is set to launch his second book, Honour First, then Glory, this Friday in Mutare. The book seeks to revive the principle of honour in both the church and society. Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister for Manicaland, Misheck Mugadza, will serve as the guest of honour at the launch.

Katumba explained that although he had been encouraged for years to write a second book, he only began when he felt a strong prompting from the Holy Spirit. “I continually set it aside until I sensed a release from the Holy Spirit to finally begin. This book is born out of obedience and deep conviction,” he told NewsDay Life & Style. His aim is to restore honour as a core value in society and the church.

He highlighted how contemporary society has trivialised honour, leading to erosion of trust and integrity. “There was a time when a simple handshake sealed a deal. Today, we require multiple legal documents to protect ourselves from unscrupulous dealings. Even then, people go to great lengths to exploit loopholes in signed contracts. Integrity and honour have become rare commodities,” Katumba said. He believes restoring honour is a legacy more valuable than material wealth.

Katumba described dishonour as a “silent destroyer” that corrodes trust and dismantles relationships. He urged readers to engage with the book and allow it to minister to them. “As you read this book, may something be stirred in your spirit. May you develop a deep conviction to become an activist of honour,” he said. The work draws from over ten months of prayer, meditation, personal experiences, and spiritual insights, combining scriptural interpretation with practical application.

He also encouraged believers to embrace writing as a tool for preserving revelation and passing down Kingdom values. “Through writing, we capture what heaven is downloading into our spirits. We give form to revelation, preserve divine insights and pass on Kingdom values to future generations. Writing is not just for the present; it is an act of spiritual preservation for posterity,” Katumba explained.

A transformational leader and dynamic speaker, Katumba calls on Christians to be faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to them. “Our God is a God of generations. Let us write not just for ourselves, but for those who will come after us,” he said. Honour First, then Glory promises to be a guide for building integrity, restoring trust, and leaving a lasting moral legacy.
