Pastors For ED Is An Abomination, Says Tom Deuschle
2 years agoThu, 12 Jan 2023 04:59:59 GMT
Celebration Church Ministries International leader, Tom Deuschle, has said the ZANU PF-affiliated group of pastors, Pastors for Economic Development (Pastors4ED) is an abomination because it supports an oppressive system that abhors righteousness.
In a recent sermon at his church in Borrowdale, Deuschle criticised what he considers the seduction of the church by politicians. He said:
We call ourselves a Christian nation. I saw a report the other day that we are supposedly 85 percent Christian and yet we allow a flood, and I mean a literal flood, of non-christian activity to seduce the church, to seduce the nation.
Politics; we are seeing today pastors being manipulated by the state to support political ideologies that often speak and do things contrary to the word of God.
This pastors for ED is an abomination I dare to say it out loud. It is ridiculous. You cannot be a pastor 4ED.
He argued that it is wrong for pastors to identify themselves with political ideologies instead of wholly following Jesus Christ. Said Deuschle:
You can only be a pastor for our great shepherd Jesus Christ. I am not a pastor and I will not be a pastor for a political party.
Political parties may govern. There was an article that says Christians are supposed to obey the governing authority, yes until the governing authority violates their governing authority which is almighty God and the word of God.
The year 2022 witnessed the proliferation of several ZANU PF affiliates claiming to be championing economic development (ED) for the attainment of Vision 2030.
These organisations include Pastors4ED, Vapostori4ED, and Teachers4ED among others.
Pastors4ED national chairperson Idiraishe Dongo said the initiative is aimed at grooming pastors who love their country. | NewZimbabwe.com

French Football Federation (FFF) President Noel Le Graet has been forced to step down following disrespectful comments directed at legend Zinedine Zidane.
Le Graet hit out at the former Real Madrid manager when he was quizzed about his future.
The FA boss took the swipe by claiming that the former Les Bleus captain was never in contention for the France national team job before Didier Deschamps’ contract was renewed.
“Zidane to Brazil? I don’t care, let him go wherever he wants,” the France FA boss told RMC Sport.
“Did Zidane try to contact me? Of course not, I wouldn’t have even picked up the phone.
“[You can] make a special show for him to find a club or a national team.”
The remarks attracted criticism from the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Franck Ribery, Djibril Cisse, Youri Djorkaeff, Florent Pietrus, French sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera and Real Madrid.
An FFF statement has now confirmed that the 81-year-old, who has also been accused of ****ual harassment, is ‘taking a step back’ from his duties and vice president Philippe Diallo was named acting interim chairman.
“Noel Le Graet, in agreement with the executive committee of the FFF meeting today [January 11] in Paris, has chosen to withdraw from his duties as president of the Federation until the final communication of the audit carried out by the Ministry of Sports, and awaiting its analysis by the Comex (executive committee) of the FFF,” reads the statement.
“The Comex of the FFF has also decided to lay off Florence Hardouin, general manager of the FFF, as a precautionary measure. As of today, Philippe Diallo, deputy vice-president of the FFF, will act as interim manager of these two functions.”

Warriors utility player Marshall Munetsi’s ssolitary first half strike propelled Stade de Reims to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Ajacio in a French Ligue 1 match played on Wednesday.
The Mabvuku bred star, who has been appointed in the FIFPro’s Global Player Council, reacted quickly to a Emanuel Agbadou pass from close range, to thrust Reims ahead with just three minutes on the clock.

Joao Felix has completed his loan transfer to the English Premier League from Atletico Madrid.
The Portuguese star has joined Chelsea on a six-month loan deal until the end of the season.
The Blues will reportedly pay around 10 million euros ($10.75 million) for the loan.
The EPL club said in a statement: “Portuguese attacker Joao Felix will be part of the Chelsea squad for the remainder of the season, having moved to Stamford Bridge on loan from Atletico Madrid.”
On moving on loan to Chelsea, Joao Felix said: “Chelsea is one of the great teams in the world and I hope to help the reach their objectives, so I am very, very happy to be here and very excited to play at Stamford Bridge.”
Felix, 23, struggled for consistency this season and started seven of Atletico’s 16 league games.

Should Celebration Church be closed, it wouldn't be the first time autocratic and despotic regimes tried it. Religious persecution has always been rife in Russia, China and Communist countries, but Christian religion has thrived under duress.

@ vesto but the political situation in Zimbabwe isn't as critical as that in e.g Stalin's Russia since we have elections ...it's wiser that pastor Tom encourages his flock esp the young ones to register to vote🤔🤔🤔

Vote? What vote @tintin?
At times I am of the considered opinion that ZANU should do away with this voting charade and confirm the de facto despotic dictatorship that it has entrenched.
Do away with wasting taxpayers money going through rigged elections, Russian and Chinese style. Better that way than this pretence at democracy while citizens votes are cancelled out by nzimbe and mapuno votes, Chiredzi and Uzumba style.

Democracy gives people the freedom of association. There is no abomination in associating with ED. Practise what you preach Tommy
Vesto · 2 years ago
Religion is about social wellbeing, and not taking political sides in political contestation.
It is correct for the Church to preach democracy, bit it is not the church's role to direct its congregants towards a particular party.
It is within the scope of religious leadership to speak out against political excesses, but not to champion a particular party in the process.
For Mapostori ekwaMarange to to instruct their members to vote for ZANU is an abomination. It flies against the individual democratic right to free choice. Likewise, for Pastors 4ED to promise 10,000 Pastors for training at a party school of ideology is certainly offside @Maparamuro

But they flock to bow before him and make him their god.

there is nothing called pastors for ED. Pastor is a spiritual and not a canal office. ED is not God, infact he knows nothing about the Word of God. All these shameless acts are from the Anti Christ. Repent and be baptised.
