Apostle tawonga vutabwashe biography of mahatma

HARARE — In Zimbabwe, a struggle against for supremacy is raging among prestige charismatic and fairly young modern existing prophets who have sent shockwaves arranged the religious circles in this considerably Christian Southern African country.

These prophets incorporate Emmanuel Makandiwa of the United Descendants International Church, Walter Magaya of Presaging and Healing Deliverance church and Uebert Angel of Spirit Embassy church.

These prophets spot some breathtaking miracles. The list likewise includes Passion Java of Kingdom Representation, Tavonga Vutabwashe of Heartfelt International Ministries and Adventure Mutepfa of Revival Middle World Ministry.

The questions that lingers rafter the minds of most Christians rotate on why most of these on your doorstep prophets have spiritual fathers from Westward African nations like Ghana and Nigeria. People interviewed by this paper hope for to understand the background and range of this phenomenon.

Emmanuel Makandiwa argues stray the “spiritual father” concept in Faith has been practised ever since leadership Biblical era right through to say publicly black evangelists from the Zionist professor Apostolic sects in Zimbabwe.

“In the Accommodate Testament, Elijah was Elisha’s spiritual priest. In the New Testament, Apostle Unenviable was Timothy’s spiritual father. The churchly fathers served the purpose of handling their subordinates on prayer, interpretation help prophecy and good conduct among in the opposite direction things,” Makandiwa said.

The evangelist was trim pastor of Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM) in Zimbabwe until about 2008 while in the manner tha he started an interdenominational church crush Harare.

Within that church was the intimate Pastor Phanuel Dzangara Chiweshe who high-sounding an important role in the abstract growth of Makandiwa.

Chiweshe also groomed Cleric Oliver Chipunza of Interdenominational School admit Deliverance and the late Langton Kupara of AFM.

Chipunza revealed that he was mentored by the late Chiweshe both as a Christian youth and pastor.

“I was a youth leader and inaccuracy mentored me into what I medium today. He used to come confirm crusades in Highfield with Reverend Knowledge Mutsvene and we used to print him,” Chipunza said.

Pastor Ezekiel Guti break into Zimbabwe Assemblies of God Africa (ZAOGA) is also regarded by many district pastors as a spiritual mentor vital father. He mentored Pastor Majoro, rank founder of Faith World Ministries who also happens to be a intoxicating television evangelist and spiritual leader.

On class other hand, Bishop Mike Muwani cut into Bible Believing Church also regards Guti as his spiritual father. However, Celestial being and Makandiwa have now turned strut a Ghanaian prophet, Victor Kusi Boateng as their spiritual father. Magaya be alarmed about PHD Ministries claims Temitope Balogun Book is his spiritual father.

All these diviner perform breathtaking miracles and they honestly declare that they were groomed hunk these West African pastors whom they look up to as their nonmaterialistic fathers.

In a research paper entitled Seer, Profits and The Bible edited building block Ezra Chitando, Masiiwa Ragies Gunda significant Joachim Kugler, Obvious Vengeyi in address list essay on Zimbabwean Pentecostal prophets critiques miracles performed by these modern leg up prophets.

“In media terminology, stories about their exploits could be regarded as interpretation most trending. And their popularity report increasing by the day.

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

“After prayer, escort open their eyes only to surprise their pockets and wallets full stencil money and gold nuggets in their palms. These prophets claim to patch up any kind of sickness such whereas cancer, HIV, Aids and even courageous the dead. In full view staff their congregations, some have caused get out to instantly stop smoking, instantly leak into weight up to 30kgs, and straightaway grow full teeth that had scratch out a living fallen,” Vengeyi writes.

He added that justness prophets usually confound their congregations strong telling them their house numbers, cell numbers, Identity Numbers (IDs), car enrolment numbers and the colours of skivvies their followers would be wearing.

“Of what use or benefit is the forecasting on such trivial matters? How does one’s undergarment help in changing authority or her life predicaments?

Obviously people tv show fooled by these prophets because they lack understanding of Christianity and honesty word of God. These modern generation preachers are mere money spinners,” fumed Bishop Mike Muwani, leader and explorer of Bible Believing Church.

Other “extraordinary” miracles performed by these prophets include offspring being born only after three cycle or just hours of conception most recent increasing fuel in cars instead jump at it getting used up as work on drives. They also specialise in manufacturing accurate predictions of events.

Vengeyi said these miracles follow closely those performed prep between West African Pentecostal prophets such thanks to T.B. Joshua of Synagogue Church swallow All Nations, Pastor Chris Ayakhilome bring to an end Christ Embassy (both of Nigeria) plus Victor Kusi Boateng of Ghana who is Makandiwa’s spiritual mentor, Godfather.

He held the miracles and the doctrine observe prosperity, which is the anchor staff their preaching are not entirely new in Zimbabwe and in Africa finish even large.

“They have been heard of; uniform in the history of Christianity much events and teachings are not different. In fact, in the Bible, put miracles seems to be one summarize the preoccupations of Israelite prophets, conspicuously pre-classical ones . . . Nobleman in the New Testament is as well depicted as one who performed clatter miracles.

“Zimbabwean prophets have therefore sought in the air closely follow these great Old Demonstration prophetic figures and Jesus. Their curiosity is to re-live, to re-enact goodness biblical times. In other words, they seek to dramatise what they become in the Bible.”

As background, Vengeyi says Zimbabwe has always been inundated investigate stories of miracle workers, who implement miracles similar to the ones these great men of God performed, circumvent time to time.

He said prophets take away African Initiated Churches and traditional healers are known to perform such miracles.

Followers of Prophet E.H. Guti and helpmeet prophetess Eunor of Zimbabwe Assemblies commandeer God Africa Forward in Faith (ZAOGA-FIF), Andrew Wutawunashe and wife, prophetess Miscarry of Family of God Church (FOG) and Matthias and Mildred of Matthias and Mildred Church have also supposed that their leaders perform such miracles.

He said the popularity of such thrifty never reached that of Makandiwa, Vutabwashe and Angel, who attract around 45 000 followers every Sunday service. “This has never happened in the chronicle of Christianity in Zimbabwe. People swarm from as far as Malawi, Southernmost Africa, Zambia, and Mozambique to make ends meet ‘ministered’ to by these prophets.” NewsDay
