Jesus Generation International Ministries founder, Prophet Edd Branson, who turned out in rags at his church was insolently cast aside by his congregants with the church security nearly manhandling him, HMetro reported.
None of the congregants seemed to walk the bible talk as they diminished the seer to a non-entity and forced him to squat at the periphery, near the church while clad in threadbare clothes.
The tabloid further established that the church security personnel even wrestled the dissimulated Prophet Edd when he invaded the church and wandered towards the pulpit at Harare Agricultural Showgrounds.
Congregants also denigrated him uttering negative remarks as he made his way into the church.
Prophet Edd who arrived for church service ahead of his flock to see if there was anyone who would pay attention to a panhandler, told H-Metro that his intention was to examine maturity of the congregation, verify if they receive his sermons seriously or just come for deliverance.
Said Prophet Edd:
“After reading and studying a passage of scripture about love, God gave me grace to practically test the congregation and share a message that changes their lives. Many people do not do what our lips confess and it is easy to confess love, without meaning it.
From the time you are born, your body is in a race to expire and the space between the time you were born and the day you will die is what God cares about. How many lives have we touched? You are never too poor to be a blessing in somebody’s life.
In the present day, we have the Church but we no longer have the Disciples of Christ. People no longer have the love of Christ inside their hearts and are only after themselves not considering their neighbours and by coming in rags I wanted to test their faith and love.
It is very possible and very easy to entertain angels unknowingly and many times, we have come across angels sent by the Lord, but they were not packaged in the way we were expecting and we looked away, looking for a form that matches the picture in our heads. The church needs to repent.
We have people suffering every day but many want to please Prophets and pastors failing to pay attention to their neighbours. If you can do it for the Prophet why can’t you do it for the person in the streets? You don’t need deliverance, healing or prophecy but need to repent and have the love of God in your heart.”
He said by coming dressed like a beggar many were disgusted, some spat before entering the church.
“Others were terrified and some of them didn’t even notice me expecting to see the Prophet on the altar but no, there I was. If they had stopped and blessed me, even with spare change, wouldn’t I have spoken a word into their life?
Blessed is the hand that gives than the one that receives. Learn to love truly, let the pains of your neighbour affect you and what you fail to do to the brothers and sisters, you have failed to do it to God.
When you refuse to give to the poor, you have refused to give unto God. When you spit at the dirty beggar, you have spat in the face of God! For it is our responsibility to help these people, and to fail to do so is to fail the Lord your God! You do not need financial breakthrough!
“You need love and put your heart in order, going to church is not a ritual. Christianity is not just going to church every Sunday but a lifestyle and it is not opening and reading your Bible,”
said Prophet Edd.
The prophet who is distinguished for his forensic prophesies that apparently defy logic earning him the name The Specialist from his followers, shared his sermon dressed like a beggar and left the congregation beating their hearts in tears for defecting to take care of the beggar.
