MANZINI – Siphosethu Thwala, the self-proclaimed prophet, who is 11 years old, says some pastors only work to satisfy their greed.
The young prophet was speaking during his sermon held at the Mavuso Trade and Exhibition Centre on Friday evening. Close to 200 people attended.
He warned worshippers to make sure they relied on the spirit of God to know who the genuine pastors were.
Thwala belongs to the Ancient of Days Outreach movement, according to one of his aids Pastor Bethel Shabangu, who spoke on his behalf. Shabangu said the Ancient of Days Outreach was not a church but a movement which the prophet operates under.
In his sermon themed, `These are the last days,’ Siphosethu said it was important for Christians not to rely on their own understanding.
“Other preachers basebentela tisu tabo,” he said.
He said the only way to avoid this was to rely on the spirit of God.
Thwala said many Christians go to churches where they were advised to give but that they do not reap their harvest.
He said pastors often tell their congregants to give money to their churches saying God would double their returns but worshippers ended up being disappointed. “God wants us to have His spirit so we cannot be deceived,” said Thwala.
Siphosethu said there was no need for people to pay to receive God’s mercy as it was for free.
He told worshippers it was not necessary to pay preachers when they go to their churches. The young man said many people gave money to their churches but that the money was usually wasted.
“They keep telling you it will multiply and you keep giving,” he said much to the applause of the congregants.
He also told pastors to ask those who went to them for prayer if they first had read the Bible. Siphosethu said Christians should make the Bible, which contains the Word of God, their friend.
He also warned Christians to be careful of being tempted but said the devil will never tempt a person with what he does not love.
The prophet said before a person could be tempted, the devil used something he truly loves. “If he tempts you with money, it’s because he knows you love it,” said Thwala.
He said when the devil appears to a person, he shows up as a good person such that it is not easy to identify him.
Also present during the service were the prophet’s parents, Simphiwe and Susan Thwala.
MANZINI – Siphosethu Thwala allegedly prevented a South African woman from committing suicide when he preached in that country.
Susan Thwala, his mother, revealed this during an interview.
Susan said the young prophet was preaching in South Africa last year when he prophesied that there was a woman who was planning to commit suicide.
“He did not know anything about the woman but he spoke as the spirit of God led him,” said Susan.
She claimed that as soon as Siphosethu spoke, a woman walked to the front and confessed that she was the one he was speaking about.
Susan said the woman then said she had been planning to kill herself before asking to be prayed for by the prophet.
She also said her son had made several other prophesies adding it was the third time he was preaching publicly.
Susan said she relies on her son to help make major business decisions.
BHEKI THWALA’S SPIRITUAL SON
MANZINI – Scores of worshippers flocked towards the stage to be prayed for when an altar call was made after a sermon by Prophet Siphosethu Thwala. The altar call was made by Apostle Bheki Thwala, who referred to the prophet as his spiritual son.
Several people, including a woman who came in walking with a pair of crutches went to be prayed for.
Bheki then prayed for the woman, after which she managed to stand on her legs without the crutches. The young prophet then continued also to pray for the woman who later said she was not able to stand without aid before she was prayed for.
Siphosethu then went on to pray for more people including a woman who kept rolling on the floor as soon as the prophet touched her.
She fell three times but the prophet kept asking the ushers to pick her up as he continued to pray.
Some of the worshippers were seen falling as he went closer to them. He continued to pray for many of them while laying his hands on them.
The prophet was being followed around by ushers who were ensuring that they caught those who were falling as he prayed.
One woman kept rolling on the floor as the prophet continued praying for them.
Despite his age, the prophet prayed for many who appeared elderly, both men and women who asked to be prayed for. – Times Of Swaziland
