Why is Zanu PF panicking on TB Joshua's prophecy

HARARE - "Surely the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets. The lion has roared, 'who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken,' who can but prophesy?"(Amos 3:7-8).

The biblical verse points to a time when prophet Amos who originally came from the poor village of Tekoa in the southern part of Israel, Judah had come to the northern part Ephraim prophesying doom to the kings of Israel who did not take heed of God's warning but rather chose to trample upon the poor as well as feasting and wining. During Amos' time the Israelite nation had split into two.

Amos was so bitter on a nation once chosen by God and exalted in many ways backdating from the miraculous deliverance from the heartless Pharaohs of Egypt as well as several wars they encountered on their adventurous journey to the promised land of Canaan. The prophet was so baffled in how so easily the people particularly the ruling class would easily forget the ultimate moral principle of God's living.

The stubborn, overzealous "priests" earning a living out of bootlicking were so irritated by Amos' teachings against the ruling class to the extent that they chased him and mocked him of desperately looking for bread out of prophetic services he was rendering.

Amos had predicted the fall of Israel and this indeed took place during the time of Jeremiah when Israel was conquered by Babylon and taken to exile.

Similarly, Zanu PF despite several reminders to the nation on how crucial their bravery was in the emancipation of Zimbabwe from fetters of colonialism, has demonstrated mere cowardice and fear they have for a prophecy that has not yet revealed any names.

TB Joshua has simply advised people to pray for one of Africa's leaders who is about to die.

Why is Zanu PF already firing missiles to such a prophecy that is yet to come to pass?

Wouldn't the very same people rubbishing the prophecy order a live broadcast of say a sermon or another prophecy which would have otherwise foretold the prolonged stay in power of Zanu PF or even of President Mugabe?

Aren't these the same people who engaged in a silly act typical of a Nigerian African movie of being misled by a "traditional healer" that a rock was oozing diesel in Chinhoyi?

Zanu PF is full of comedy and surprises.

The party should rather be preoccupied by more important matters of strategic political issues ahead of a treacherous election that is spelling imminent doom of the party.

Attacks of TB Joshua's prophecy by Zanu PF exposes the party's desperation to make Mugabe stay in power.

But Mugabe like any other normal individual deserves to rest and somewhat write books which he has promised the nation for time immemorial now.

Zanu PF panic mode is an indicator of succession quandary in the party.

Whilst it is now a democratic necessity for Mugabe to step down firstly as President of the nation as well as his party, inside Zanu PF it is a time bomb slowly ticking towards explosion.

Factions in the party would rather unite under Mugabe and continue outwitting each other in power games for after him they are definitely convinced that Zanu PF would be no more.

If Mugabe is to openly ask who has ambitions to succeed him he will not find one, but when others appear to say time is up for Mugabe, all sorts of name calling are directed towards them.

That's typical of human beings, they only agreed that Jesus was indeed the son of God whilst he hung on the cross taking the last breath of his earthly life.

Wasn't it the same Jesus who said a prophet is without honour in his own country?

Why all the fuss on TB Joshua's predictions, can't we just wait?
