May the true men of God stand up

Wise counsel always carry good tidings because in most cases if not all, its from the Almighty. However, for all intends and purposes, some of the later day prophets seem to have chosen a regime change trajectory.
These are the same people who grudgingly speak about democratic processes yet 'nicodimusly' whisper and gossip to their gullible followers about imminent death of so and so and civil strife.
One wonders why the same charismatic and flamboyant prophets failed to foresee and prophetically warn the Chimanimani residents to flee from Cyclone Idai. If the men of God want to join main stream politics the space is there, its their democratic right they can do so without hindrance.
They wish disaster after disaster for the land yet offering no solutions but names instead. The nation needs true men of God, not of 'gold'. Every sermon is now coated with threats and more demands for more and more offerings and donations.
Spread the Gospel not gossip, people want salvation. Freely some were given divine gifts, freely they must help the people.
No to 'spiritual surgeries' for one-on-one consultations where big money changes hands. Offerings are given for God's work, that of spreading the Gospel and giving to charity.
The orphans, the widows and victims of disasters, not some deep pocketed word-twisting gospelpreneurs. May true men of God stand up! Praise be to God.
