Mugabe blasts Pentecostal churches

President Mugabe has criticised leaders of some Pentecostal churches who mislead their congregants into believing they can get rich quickly, while demanding that the church members give all they have to the church to enrich the pastors. President Mugabe also lamented the moral decadence in society.

He said Pentecostal churches were cheating desperate congregants by making them believe that they could become rich overnight.

Imitating the forceful manner used by Pentecostal pastors when preaching, President Mugabe said after grasping Genesis 1 they start saying; "That is what God has done, I can also do that through him. I have the inspiration and the message.

President Mugabe said it was unfortunate that people were desperate to have their desires met.

Mugabe urged people to be patient and work hard as prescribed in the Bible to sustain their livelihoods.
