The 12-track album carries the songs Sekerera, Sawa, Vhangeri, Dairai, Grace Anthem, Nyasha Dzenyu, Dzingori Nyasha, I’m a Winner, Torumbidza, Kure, I Need You and Usadzikisirwe.
Thembalami told NewsDay that the album’s title denoted a spiritual fight.
“The fight is not a physical battle, but a spiritual fight from our nature of selfishness and self-seeking desire. It is easy to live anyhow, but choosing to carry your cross and following Christ is a battle fought every day,” he said.
“Today’s world demands spiritual warriors that not only fight for themselves, but for their families and communities.”
Thembalami said the album — produced by, Macdonald “Macdee” Chidavaenzi, Tremier Msipa, Adrian Tate and Wisdom Nyapara — was meant to help listeners develop their faith.
He said he included a few collaborations on the album, roping in Kenyan songstress, Evelyn Wanjiru on the song Sawa, which is topping the charts on Kenyan radio stations.
