Newsday seems obsessed with tarnishing PHD Ministries
18 Jul 2014 at 08:53hrs | Views
I have been following all reports on PHD Ministries by a named NewsDay reporter. It is not a coincidence that I have never encountered anything factual, positive or encouraging from Newsday on Prophet Magaya and the PHD Ministries.
Please understand that I am not discouraging free reporting but when there is a concentrated pattern to focus on bad publicity on a single organization then the paper's objectives or motive become questionable.
From NewsDay, I have never heard of the lifetime barren who bear children after coming to PHD. I never heard of the many who had demons not to be married and finally married after attending PHD. Many jobless have found jobs through PHD.
NewsDay is only looking for bad publicity.
Now it seems like their whole energy is now directed against pulling down the PHD Ministries by any means.
While NewsDay cannot be gagged from reporting facts on the ground, it becomes questionable when every event, even the one that calls for common sense is twisted to create a tsunami in a tea cup. When a baby dies of pneumonia and a writer practices selective writing, that's when professional ethics fall on the spotlight as a headline is doctored to create a negative perception about someone.
The last report by Newsday on Thursday resembled the very objective of the biased as bound on a wanton smear campaign. I must also alert NewsDay that in every organization, there is life. In terms of organizational behavior, common life elements exist.
If the reporter claims that there is a death in PHD and the leader should be investigated, does that mean every Roman Catholic congregant on Mother who dies by the minute triggers Pope Francis to be investigated? Does this mean only Congregants in PHD, of all denominations in Zimbabwe, die in the church building?
Please stop by Mbudzi cemetery and see if the burials for yesterday were all from PHD.
There should be some suspicious funding activity on some of these journalists out there getting greased hands to tarnish the PHD Ministries. I wish the public had been informed that some of the people visiting PHD are already in need of help.
They come for healing the same way they would go to a public hospital and at times trade spots from hospital to PHD. It would be insane to investigate Mater Dei, Avenues or Parirenyatwa for having a mortuary at the premises just because a patient has died. This is what NewsDay is now doing. Focusing on trivialities at the expense of real progressive journalism.
The truth remains that there are more followers joining the PHD Ministries by the day. All in need come and get real help. Some are even coming from as far as Europe, Asia and America to get miracles. Those funding the rubble rousers will soon discover that they are crying for the moon on a platter.
The more the bad publicity the better the Lord's favour. PHD is growing and the congregants believe and experience real miracles. They are not being forced to join. Those cancer survivors, barren women and jobless are getting real results and they turn in their thousands.
Those manifesting and chasing away demons are real. The 80 000 people following PHD Minsitries are not crazy. Only those who belong to the dark ages would hate such cleansing of our dear nation through the power of prayer. The congregants already know what they want and why they are joining PHD. Miracles are happening by the day and even prominent citizens and the so called learned academics have been crawling from the Tower of Babel to get the help of Prophet Magaya at the PHD.
What NewsDay simply needs to know is that in every organization, people breathe, walk, talk, die and eat. Gossip is entertainment by the way. PHD is no different from the Salvation Army, Roman Catholic, Methodist, ZAOGA, AFM or any of these dying down churches whose leaders are running out of support or miracle power and are now focusing hard to pull down the PHD Ministries.
Instead of NewsDay focusing on happy congregants doing their business, why not touch any other churches where related events are happening? This could be a sign of someone getting beer money to drop a few lines in the paper by the day on PHD. But the Lord says "You shall not touch my anointed one".
This is the truth. Saul did it and consequences happened. Many others did it. You cannot fight the Lord's hand. No threat on this one. For a $50 bribe someone gets a run to find anything bad to tarnish PHD Ministries. Please find better things to focus on.
PHD is helping and rescuing thousands of citizens by the day. These getting rescued join on voluntary basis to get medical, spiritual and related help. Some barren now have children. Demons are fleeing away. People are getting all kinds of help by the day. Some have been healed. The economy is moving. Transport business to ferry congregants is booming. Tourists are flowing into the country.
Vendors are in brisk business. The PHD organization is flourishing. Please do not focus on negatives. Even if you are being paid to tarnish PHD, one day the Lord's hand will touch you. Do not persecute the anointed.
Give us better news NewsDay and God bless you. If you want you can continue focusing on negatives but hate it or like it, PHD is scaling up in numbers by the day.
