Family remains a priority to me. Divorce does not change my responsibility or dedication as a father,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that their children would continue to receive full support from both parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur children will continue to receive the presence, support, and guidance they deserve from both parents.\u201d<br \/>The preacher also noted that both he and Lily remain committed to their individual spiritual callings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are also deeply committed to our separate callings God has placed upon our lives. This new season allows us to walk in those callings separately with clarity and purpose, while maintaining peace and mutual respect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Java concluded by appealing for understanding and prayers during this transition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI ask for your understanding and prayers as we move forward in grace, faith, and friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Social Media Reacts: Mixed Views<\/p>\n<p>Reactions on social media have been strongly mixed, with some users expressing sympathy and others using the announcement to criticise Java\u2019s public image and political associations.<\/p>\n<p>One social media user wrote: \u201cSad for the kids, but can we talk about how he\u2019s been cozying up to ZANU\u2011PF? Some of us can\u2019t separate the man from his politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another observer said: \u201cRespect to them for co\u2011parenting, but don\u2019t act holy when you\u2019ve been defending those in power who hurt everyday people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A third user added: \u201cDivorce is hard, but let\u2019s not forget how he supports the ruling party and criticises anyone asking for accountability.\u201d<br \/>On Facebook, a supporter wrote: \u201cPraying for Passion Java and his family. Whatever people say, God knows their hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another comment read: \u201cPeople are hurting, and some feel he\u2019s more interested in political favour than spiritual integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These comments illustrate how Java\u2019s high\u2011profile status and perceived political sympathies continue to influence public reactions to even his personal matters.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- #comments --><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Mixed #Sentiments #Passion #Java #Divorce #ZimEye<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mixed Sentiments Over Passion Java Divorce \u2026 Tinashe Sambiri\u2013 Zimbabwean preacher Passion Java, born Panganai Java, has announced that he&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50896,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,11],"tags":[2977,6694,3428,5451,202,2716,9740],"class_list":["post-50895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi","category-world","tag-divorce","tag-eduzim","tag-java","tag-mixed","tag-news","tag-passion","tag-sentiments"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50895"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50895\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50897,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50895\/revisions\/50897"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
