Politically affiliated churches embark on evil intentions against Zimbabwe

28 Sep 2016 at 05:28hrs | Views
Opposition political elements, masquerading as leaders of some dubious Christian Churches, are on the overdrive against President Mugabe in Zimbabwe. These so called churches are being led by a malcontent, self appointed spokesperson of opposition political parties in Zimbabwe and self ordained Bishop, Ancelimo Magaya, of the Zimbabwe Divine Destiny, who has been repeatedly calling upon President Mugabe to resign. Magaya is also the self proclaimed Director of Zimbabwe Divine Destiny and Chairman of the Itayi Dzamara Trust.

Other pseudo Christian leaders, who have been taken by Magaya into his armpit to join protests against President Mugabe, are Useni Sibanda, self appointed Director of Zimbabwe Christian Alliance; Reverend C. Zenda, Director of Christian Voice; Tedious Munemo of the Zimbabwe Pastors' Fellowship and Kudakwashe Makuwe, coordinator of Prayer Network Zimbabwe.

Talking ahead of his misguided machinations, the dubious Bishop said, "We demand for government to acknowledge that Zimbabwe is in a dire situation that requires an extraordinary collective response to rescue the country from total collapse that may trigger a spontaneous civil unrest. We will petition government and parliament demanding the opening of national dialogue that urgently seeks to resolve the national crises. Failure of which the church demands parliament to move a motion of impeachment of the President over failed governance and subsequently set up a transitional authority to handle the crises and carry the nation through until the next election".

Magaya and his other dubious Christian leaders had the audacity to pen an open letter addressed to President Mugabe giving the constitutionally elected President unreasonable demands accompanied by an ultimatum of 28 September 2016 to meet the demands; failure of which this clique of fake leaders of the Church would petition Parliament to impeach the President.  The letter labeled President Mugabe a sinner who should repent, further waffling that "we warn that God's judgment is imminent if you do not repent.

Really? Who are these wolfs in sheep's clothing to conclude that President Mugabe is a sinner? Are they themselves free from sin? What imminent God's judgment are they inviting against the President who was recently overwhelmingly elected by Zimbabweans? Peace loving Zimbabweans are beginning to suspect that these fake Christian leaders are Satanists whose mission is to create anarchy in the country.

In January 2016 Magaya organized a poorly attended so called convergence of civil societies, political parties and churches in Harare. Magaya is clearly an opposition political figure working under the robes of Christianity. His misplaced dream of having President Mugabe impeached by parliament resonates with the Movement of Democratic Change - Tsvangirai (MDC-T)'s similar maneuvers.

Genuine churches will not join the likes of this fake bishop in his attempts to subvert a constitutionally elected government. Magaya's shenanigans, calculated to attract the greenback from sponsors of the regime change agenda in Zimbabwe, will never see the light of day.

Zimbabwe is currently facing economic hardships due to illegal economic sanctions imposed on the country by Magaya's paymasters, recurrent droughts and suppressed commodity prices. If Magaya loves Zimbabwe as much as he is trying to portray, why is he not organizing protests against these illegal economic sanctions which have largely contributed to the problems the country is currently facing?

Genuine Christians should not be swayed from the noble doctrines of their religion by the likes of Magaya, who intends to use them for his selfish ends. Protesting against President Mugabe has become a money spinning venture for some Zimbabweans as agents of the regime change agenda have budgeted billions of dollars to sponsor their evil project.

No amount of protests, posturing and barking by opposition political elements, masquerading as religious leaders, will force President Mugabe out of power before his term of office expires. He was given the mandate to preside over the affairs of Zimbabwe until the next election in 2018. So, all Zimbabweans should learn to uphold constitutionalism and not anarchy.
