WIDELY followed United Family International Church (UFIC) founder, Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa has urged Zimbabweans to remain calm and peaceful saying economic challenges currently bedeviling the country will soon end.

Speaking to his followers at the City Sports Centre in Harare on Tuesday night, Prophet Makandiwa said the government leadership has a plan to restore Zimbabwe's sick economy and push it to greater heights.

He warned Zimbabweans to be patient and embrace God's plans and shun untoward behavior that might impede efforts to resuscitate the economy.

Telling his followers about a vision he saw a few months ago about street marches that ended in bloodshed, he said acts of violence and uprisings may result in deaths of innocent people, while causing untold suffering among the populace.

Reading from the book of 1 Samuel where Israel's elders went to Samuel and asked him to anoint a king, he explained that leaders or kings are anointed by the Almighty and they are given swords which they should use if the need arises.

The UFIC leader assured Zimbabweans that the Head of State has a vision for the future and rebuilding of the nation but said the implementation of the vision is being delayed by those involved in in-fighting in government.

Prophet Makandiwa message comes at a time some political leaders are plotting to use violent protests against government.

In the 1990s, violent demonstrations, boycotts strikes and stay-aways affected the economy and portrayed Zimbabwe as a lawless country.
