Don’t obey every ‘prophesy’

-

EDITOR — It surprises me so much that although a lot has been said and talked about false prophets and pastors, lots of our people remain ignorant and still believe in them.

A lot of homes have collapsed as a result of these greedy and false prophets. Prophets and pastors love money than God these days.

The world was recently shocked by an incident which occurred in South Africa during a Sunday service when the prophet ordered everyone in the church to drink Jik, a detergent which is harmful to anyone who consumes it.

The prophet misled people into believing that as long as they have faith in the Lord that liquid would be harmless to them.

After drinking the poison, the worshipper­s began to vomit inside the church and the unlucky ones died instantly while others succumbed to the poison on their way to the hospital. I feel the government­s should severely punish such merciless prophets and pastors who cause unnecessar­y deaths of innocent people.

People go to church to pray and worship God and not to be forced or conned to drink poison as a sign to test the strength or power of God.

There was another prophet again who forced his followers to eat grass like cattle. The same prophets are always on social media lying to people saying so and so will die soon.

Some politician­s have lost their hard earned money and property after they were muscled that they would win elections.

People should be urged to choose churches wisely as some of them may end up causing deaths.
