President Robert Mugabe’s wife, Grace has blasted
members of Nigerian preacher TB Joshua’s church who frequently fly out of
Zimbabwe going for healing and other church meetings.
Mrs Mugabe said Zimbabweans should not waste their
money visiting foreign prophets but should instead seek salvation cheaper
locally.
Addressing thousands of Christians of the Zimbabwe
Assemblies of God Africa, ZAOGA, at the Today’s Women Conference at Glamis
Stadium in Harare yesterday, Grace referred to Christians who visit what she
termed war-torn countries naming Nigerian and Ghana, of which it could be only
TB Joshua’s country Nigeria since it is the other of the two which is war torn.
“I really don’t understand why scores of people are
putting their faith on foreign preachers. They have to raise a lot of money to
visit them when in Zimbabwe we are blessed with anointed people of God who are
able to do even greater things,” she said. Continue after the cut:
Grace Mugabe’s comments come at a time when scores
of Zimbabweans, including Cabinet ministers, are flocking to countries such as
Ghana and Nigeria seeking divine intervention.
“It doesn’t matter which denomination you belong to,
we are all seeking one God. Believe in our prophets and stop wasting money
visiting faraway countries. In Zimbabwe we have people who, through prayer, can
heal you from your sickness and restore your broken marriage.
“People have this misconception that Zimbabweans do
not know how to pray. Little do they know that we have a lot of anointed people
who are able to help us because they know the environment that we are operating
under. A closer look at the countries which are being thronged by our people
reveals that they are torn by war and hunger,” she said.
Grace Mugabe told the thousands of people who
attended the last day of the conference, organised by Prophetess Eunor Guti of
the Zimbabwe Assemblies of God, that she also seeks the help of local spiritual
leaders.
“I might be Grace Mugabe of Zimbabwe, but I cannot
do it all on my own,” she said to wild applause.
“I go to Amai Guti seeking guidance and she prays
for me. The prayers enable me to keep my family and life together. I see God’s
power in her and I have come to realise that God gives you people in your life
to do certain tasks that you cannot do on your own because they are anointed in
that area.
“There is no point in trying to compete or badmouth
the anointed because theirs is a gift from God.”
Amai Mugabe added that she also believes in fasting
as she seeks God.
“Prayer and fasting have sustained me and I have
also learnt to ask God for wisdom every day.
“The book of James 1:5 says: ‘If any of you lack
wisdom, let them ask of God, who gives to all men liberally and upbraids not,
and it shall be given him.’
“To know what to do require wisdom that comes from
God,” she said.
The conference ran from November 8-10 and attracted
delegates from more than 182 countries.
