There are simple ways of detecting a false prophet, prominent church founder, academic and theologian, Dr. Noah Pashapa says in a development that has seen Prophets Emmanuel Makandiwa, and Walter Magaya publicly fingered for the manner in which they dabble in crafted miracles and cash takings. “All Bishop’s words point at Makandiwa and Magaya, how can Zimbabweans forget for instance the fake fat belly miracle?” scholar Andrew Dube said on Tuesday.
Speaking to TV presenter Zororo Makamba, Dr Pashapa said there are signs that are easy to see which instantly display a false preacher. The preacher who has been behind the pulpit for over 25 years, said, “there are indicators in the Bible but one of the most critical ones is anyone who begins to focus on themselves: their whole message, the whole organisation revolves around them. They have become a personality cult. They have become “the” important component. That is your indicator number one, because John The Baptist said Jsus must increase, I must decrease. I am not even fit to tie the thread of his sandals.
“Number 2 – You judge them by the fruit, their character. If some is out to milk, is out to manipulate. He is using the power of suggestion. People are told I have prayed for you you are healed, stop taking your medication…In Jesus’ time he heals the people who have leprosy, he says to them go consult the doctors because the priests of the day were the doctors.
“So he says to the ten lepers you go consult with the priests who will confirm you have been healed for sure. But these chaps don’t do that. In fact they say to people you don’t go to the doctors. I am telling you you are healed instantaneously, and completely. There is no room for partial gradual healing. And there is no room for no healing…”
“A lot of these people are now looking for medical attention when it is too late.”
Pashapa said spiritual deception has become rampant due to the Zimbabwean political environment for over 35 years continuing to impose a “very terrorised mentality” in the people.
