Prophet Makandiwa challenges pastors to test him for satanic powers

Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa, leader of United Family International Church has challenged pastors from various denominations to come forward and test for themselves if he is a true man of God or is being used by evil spirits as has been alleged.
Speaking to thousands of worshippers at his Chitungwiza church on Sunday, Prophet Makandiwa said it was unfortunate that men of God had chosen to judge him as if they were qualified to do so.
“We are not afraid to be examined. All pastors and bishops in Zimbabwe should come and pray for me for one hour and when they finish I will only need five seconds to pray for them and let’s see who is possessed.
“In this case I am not calling for witch doctors but men of God. You can’t say I am possessed and yet God called me to chase away demons. I am here. . . help me if I am possessed by a demon. If you have made up your mind we will give you the chance to pray for me before everyone and prove to everyone that I am possessed.”
This comes in the wake of incessant attacks from pastors and bishops who accuse him of using satanic powers to perform miracles such as healing the sick, miraculous births, weight loss and other miracles.
His gospel of prosperity has also elicited wrath from some pastors. Prophet Makandiwa said it was unfortunate that some of his critics rushed to write articles in newspapers instead of challenging him directly.
“We want people with guts. Those who say they are men of God. . . why rush to write in the papers. Just come. Those who criticise miracles about weight loss only do so at a distance but we have asked them to bring their own scales but they are not coming.
“We can’t have thousands of people against one person and that person continues to achieve success. . . What kind of a God do we worship?”
“Why do we have people who are not part of us and they want to judge us. . . discern your spirit first before you discern others as written in the bible. You can’t be stealing and committing adultery and then you want to discern others.”
His sermon on Sunday was premised on John 16 verse 7 on the coming of the Holy Spirit who gave christians the ability to discern the works of God from those of the devil.
Prophet Makandiwa said it was unfortunate that some “purported” men of God had the wrong spirit themselves which is why they could not believe that God could not perform miracles in the manner he was doing.
“I have realised that most people have received the wrong spirit. You can’t have the Holy Ghost and yet find it difficult to believe in miracles. . . it’s impossible.”
He contrasted his situation with that in the bible in which one Simeon of Samaria, who was a witch, used his powers and people ended up believing that he was used of God until Phillip came to expose him.
“Isn’t it amazing that I am allowing you to test me. Spirits are supposed to be tested,” he stressed.
“If you don’t understand the prophetic you cannot judge the prophetic. If you want to judge then be in the prophetic and learn the word of God,” he warned.
