Cleo Arie Reflects On The Breakthrough Night At “God The Lifter of Men” Worship Concert
HARARE — Cleo Arie Reflects On Spirit-Filled Night At “God The Lifter of Men” Concert At HICC Zimbabwe. Zimbabwean gospel artist Cleo Arie joined a constellation of worship leaders at the Harare International Conference Centre for “God The Lifter of Men,” a gathering devoted to prayer, praise, and a renewed call to service. Under the stewardship of Minister Ellard and Sharon Manyonganise Cherayi, the night assembled believers across denominations to lift one voice and celebrate the God who raises men and women from trial to testimony.
“Grateful to @minister_ellard and @sharon_manyonganise_cherayi for the opportunity to minister at the God The Lifter of Men Concert 🙌🏽✨
It was such a powerful and uplifting experience to be part of what God is doing through this amazing vision. Thank you for the platform to serve and worship with God’s people! 🙏🏽💫” She wrote.
Arie’s note of thanks captured the heart of the event’s vision. “God The Lifter of Men” is more than a concert title. It is a declaration many in the arena carried into the night, believing for healing, direction, and fresh endurance. The HICC, a flagship stage in Zimbabwe’s capital, provided the scale and acoustics to match the moment while keeping worshippers front and centre. The program’s flow favoured prayerful pauses and congregational response, allowing artists to minister rather than perform and inviting the crowd to participate in each refrain.
Cleo Arie’s segment resonated with her hallmark sincerity. She leaned into themes of surrender, hope, and steadfast faith, opening room for stillness before building into collective praise. The delivery balanced vocal strength with pastoral care, allowing lyrics to breathe while encouraging the audience to sing back promises of Scripture. It was less spectacle and more altar call, the kind that leaves people quiet and reflective, then joyful and expectant.
The hosting team’s leadership was felt in the details. From transitions that honoured each minister’s assignment to a program architecture that kept Christ at the centre, the evening moved with intentionality. The emphasis on unity threaded each appearance, reminding attendees that Zimbabwe’s worship community is broad and deeply rooted, with emerging voices standing alongside seasoned leaders to serve the same purpose.
For Arie, the platform marked another step in a growing ministry shaped by service to the local church and a widening regional reach. She continues to draw listeners who value both musical excellence and spiritual authenticity, the blend that turns a set into a moment of encounter. Her reflection after HICC spoke to that calling, expressing gratitude to organisers and to the people who filled the room, not as spectators but as co-labourers in worship.
