AN OPEN LETTER TO PROPHET  NKOSINGPHILE DLAMINI

Sir,
I would like to respond to the article which appeared in the Times of Swaziland
dated 29 April, titled ‘I will make them drink petrol’.
It is high time we call Nkosingiphile Dlamini to order as a Christian community.
What he is doing is very wrong, misleading and unGodly.
In Matthew 24:11, Jesus warned that in the last days many false prophets shall
arise, and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:24: “For there shall arise a false
christ and false prophets and they shall show great signs and wonders; so much
that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect”.
Nkosingiphile, you have elevated yourself to the position of God by allowing
your followers to refer to you as God on earth. When you arrive at church, a red
carpet is rolled out for you and you are escorted and worshipped like a god.
You perform miracles that make the people fear and idolise you.
You have been making people eat grass, fall asleep, get drunk, etc, and then you
tell them that Jesus also changed water to wine and also walked on water.
In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul spoke about the different gifts of the spirit, among
which are the performing of miracles. He said the gifts were to be used to edify
or build the body of Christ (the church). Now, how do your so-called miracles
edify the church?
Secondly, the gifts of the spirit are for meeting needs in the church. Jesus
changed water into wine, but it was because the wine in the wedding got finished
before the wedding party was over (John 2:3). In John 16:16-19 Jesus walked on
the water but not for the fun of it - he needed to get to his disciples who had
left ahead of him to get to Capernaum. So again, there was a need here Mr
Nkosingiphile.
Your miracles do not fit into the aforementioned categories and hence they are
no different from magic performances.
I have had the privilege of watching one of your videos and I have witnessed the
power of hypnosis at work. Your followers are made to believe they are sheep and
they start to jump around making sheep sounds, before running out to eat grass.
You also hypnotise your followers into a deep sleep in the middle of a service.
That is why all your miracles glorify you and not God (Yahweh). You have to stop
now.
Lastly, I would like to send a warning to the church to stop running after
miracles because, in 2 Corinthians 11:14, the Bible says Satan transforms
himself into an angel of light.
It is possible for false prophets to perform miracles and that is why Jesus said
in Matthew 7:22-23: “Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord have we
not prophesied in your name? And in your name cast out demons? And in your name
done many wonderful things? And then I will say unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me you workers of iniquity’.”
I encourage all born-again Christians to read the Bible and know the truth, so
as to avoid being deceived by these so-called prophets labagcwele live lonkhe.
All they are after is your money and there is no truth in what they say or do.
Run away from them.
