Source: Mugadza prays for prophecy to come true – DailyNews Live
Tarisai Machakaire 18 September 2017
HARARE – It is exactly a month before a controversial prophet’s predicted
President Robert Mugabe’s date of death.
Cleric Phillip Mugadza has a matter pending at the Constitutional Court
after he was charged for undermining the authority of the president when
he released the prophecy in December last year.
A month from now, the prophecy would be tested.
The Daily News caught up with him only to find that Mugadza is busy
rallying Zimbabweans to pray for the prophecy to come to pass.
“I am very much expectant of his excellency’s death. It is going to be a
bit surprising because when I first said this my tone was a bit
different,” he said, oblivious of the fact that this is the same issue
that took him behind bars for almost six weeks without being released on
bail.
“What I was saying then was I don’t wish that he dies that is why when I
was asked what the president could do I just said he had to pray to God to
change His mind. I have prayed about it and sent a video asking people to
pray from August 22 to 24 that he dies.”
Mugadza said Mugabe’s subsequent death would relieve Zimbabweans of their
suffering and said the ballot would not remove the 93-year-old leader from
power.
“The only thing left for us is to pray that God takes him. I know a lot of
people who wish him dead who have been calling me saying `pastor we are
counting down’.
“The so-called constitutional means of going through the electoral process
has continuously given us the same results and suffering especially when
we talk of 2008. From the way I see things, he is not ready to go.”
Quizzed if praying for someone else’s death did not compromise his
Christian beliefs, Mugadza responded that there was nothing unusual about
his conduct saying other great men of the Bible had done so before.
“If you read the book of Acts chapter five, it talks about the death of
Ananias and Saphirra where Peter actually proclaimed that they would die
because they had lied and it came to pass. A man had to be used to
proclaim God’s judgment,” he said.
“…if people died because of telling lies what more can be said of a man
who has caused so much suffering on the people of Zimbabwe? If we look at
2008 a lot of people died just for one to be in power and we cannot allow
a repeat of that.”
Mugadza said he is going to be waiting patiently on the day and will not
go in hiding, whatever the outcome.
“I am going to be around and if he doesn’t die and people may start saying
that I lied all I can say is I will ask them for forgiveness because I
understand that not many people appreciate how prophecy works.
“…I will continue praying, the nation of Zimbabwe should do the same.”
