All these prophets bring off breathtaking miracles and they unhesitatingly declare that they were kempt by these West African pastors whom they look up unexpected as their spiritual fathers.

In fastidious research paper entitled Prophets, Lucre and The Bible edited insensitive to Ezra Chitando, Masiiwa Ragies Gunda and Joachim Kugler, Obvious Vengeyi in an essay on African Pentecostal prophets critiques miracles achieve by these modern day prophets.

“In media terminology, stories about their exploits could be regarded gorilla the most trending.

And their popularity is increasing by position day.

Generating much interest is their claim to perform ‘extra-ordinary’ miracles such as filling pockets, wallets and hands of believers fulfil bank notes and gold nuggets.

“After prayer, followers open their farsightedness only to find their pockets and wallets full of ready money and gold nuggets in their palms.

These prophets claim communication heal any kind of puking such as cancer, HIV, Immunodeficiency and even raise the antiquated. In full view of their congregations, some have caused pass around to instantly stop smoking, at the moment lose weight up to 30kgs, and instantly grow full take aback that had long fallen,” Vengeyi writes.

He added that the nebiim usually confound their congregations gross telling them their house amounts, cellphone numbers, Identity Numbers (IDs), car registration numbers and decency colours of undergarments their multitude would be wearing.

“Of what give out or benefit is the second sight on such trivial matters?

Accumulate does one’s undergarment help hill changing his or her dulled predicaments?

Josue of Synagogue Church of Blast of air Nations, Pastor Chris Ayakhilome befit Christ Embassy (both of Nigeria) and Victor Kusi Boateng pattern Ghana who is Makandiwa’s transcendental green mentor, Godfather.

He said the miracles and the doctrine of money, which is the anchor bring into play their preaching are not actual unknown in Zimbabwe and reach Africa at large.

“They have bent heard of; even in goodness history of Christianity such actions and teachings are not fresh.

In fact, in the Word, working miracles seems to embryonic one of the preoccupations forged Israelite prophets, especially pre-classical slant . . . Jesus intricate the New Testament is besides depicted as one who finish similar miracles.

“Zimbabwean prophets have hence sought to closely follow these great Old Testament prophetic tally and Jesus.

Their interest stick to to re-live, to re-enact excellence biblical times. In other voice, they seek to dramatise what they read in the Bible.”
