Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries doing a good job

Prophetic Healing and deliverance Ministries, led by the charismatic Prophet Walter Magaya should be commended for supplementing government efforts to create employment and deliver housing to Zimbabweans in line with the Zim-Asset. PHD Ministries intends to construct forty six thousand houses in Harare, Chitungwiza, Mutare, Bulawayo and the Midlands. The project will create three thousand jobs and cost millions of dollars. The government facilitated acquisition of twenty percent of the land earmarked for the project. Prophet Magaya's ministry has also constructed one thousand five hundred houses in Harare and Chitungwiza. The houses will be affordable to low income earners.
PHD is also constructing a state of the art two hundred room hotel in Harare where one thousand five hundred people are employed. The ministry also constructed a fifteen thousand seater stadium. Prophet Magaya's ministry often donates goods and cash to various charity organizations in the country.
Many religious entities in Zimbabwe like the African Reformed Church, Catholic Church, Zion Christian Church, Salvation Army and Zaoga have contributed immensely to the development of Zimbabwe in addition to spreading the holy gospel. They have and continue to provided education and health facilities in addition to their involvement in several charity activities.
This is how it should be; using religion to provide necessities for the society. In James Chapter one Verse 17 of the Holy Bible it is said "every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of Lights with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning". God wants the best for his people and he gives them good gifts through the man of God like Prophet Magaya.
However, under the cloak of Christianity there are some dubious elements masquerading as Pastors or Man of God who collude with Zimbabwe's enemies to cause anarchy in the country in pursuit of the regime change agenda. Such charlatans have no shame as they have no love for their motherland. They scheme daily on how to please their Western paymasters through causing dilapidating civil unrest in the country resulting in destruction of property and injury to people. Instead of contributing to the welfare of the nation, like what Prophet Magaya is doing, the fake Pastors are actually destroying the country.
Evan Mawarire is one of such fake Pastors who is currently enjoying the fruits of his treachery in far away United States of America after causing chaos back home in Zimbabwe. Zimbabweans should not be misled by anyone who uses religion to ferment anarchy in the country. The Mawarires of this world sacrifice their motherland for self aggrandizement as Uncle Tom will always be waiting to reward them handsomely.
In the past Zimbabwe had the likes of Bishop Abel Muzorewa and Reverend Ndabaningi Sithole who were highly respected by their respective congregants. They however abused their respect when they sided with the minority Rhodesian white regime in its endeavor to deny Zimbabweans majority rule, causing thousands of death in the process. They dined with the oppressor while their fellow nationals were suffering. History always repeats itself. A new crop of the Muzorewas has now arrived on Zimbabwe's political landscape to cause havoc in the country. Zimbabweans cannot afford to entertain these dubious characters especially during this time when the country is under illegal western economic sanctions, is facing El Nino induced drought and depressed commodity prices on the international market.
President Mugabe was very right when he said that people who are determined to destabilize Zimbabwe for the love of the greenback should relocate to those countries which are sponsoring them. The House of Assembly should take a further step and enact a law empowering the government to strip Zimbabwean citizenship from such misguided malcontents.
Zimbabwe needs men of religion, like Prophet Walter Magaya, who have their country at heart and not fake pastors like Mawarire. True men of God should actually condemn people who abuse religion for selfish ends.
