HARARE-(MaraviPost)-A bishop from Zimbabwe has caused a huge stir after he declared that all the prophets in Southern Africa are fake and that there is no true prophet of God among them.
Bishop C.B Matondo of Grace Fellowship Ministries Church launched the stunning attack on many popular prophets stating that he was on a mission to restore the true prophetic movement in Southern Africa.
Some of the popular prophets in Southern Africa who are the subject of Bishop Matondo’s wrath include
- Prophet Shepherd Bushiri of the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) church mainly based in South Africa.
- Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa of the United Family International Church (UFIC) based in Zimbabwe
- Prophet Alph Lukau of the Alleluia Ministries International based in South Africa.
- Prophet Walter Magaya of the Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries based in Zimbabwe
- Prophet Mboro of Incredible Happenings Ministries in South Africa
- Prophet Passion of Passion Java Ministries and the Kingdom Embassy church in Zimbabwe
- Prophet Uebert Angel of the Spirit Embassy and Good News Church based in the United Kingdom.
Bishop Matondo accused these “new age” prophets of focusing on celebrity status and personal riches at the expense of God. In an interview with local tabloid H-Metro, Matondo said.
The younger generation of prophets who are between 30 to 45 years of age are valuing the gift of prophecy more than the office of prophecy, functions and character of a true prophet.
True prophets are humble and bear fruits of the spirit not just an ability to tell people their ID numbers and names. The new wave of prophets who had gone to find prophetic power sources in West Africa had ruined the prophetic movement.
Some people were hurt by these prophets, others lost money to them and some had lost faith in Christianity because of these prophets. Character is the only genuine sign that one is a genuine man of God and at the moment true prophets do not exist in Zimbabwe.
Bishop Matondo went on to say that there were no true prophets in the whole of Southern Africa, insisting that he has been sent on a mission to make right the prophetic movement in the region.
Prophetic gifts do not qualify one to be called a prophet as there are several other factors which need to be considered before one can label themselves as a prophet. I had been sent to restore the prophetic Movement and make right what was wrong with the Prophetic movement in Southern Africa.
Followers of some of the prophets operating in South Africa are reported to be furious with Bishop Matondo for uttering a ‘heretic’ declaration.
