HARARE – Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries (PHD) leader Walter Magaya says his prophecy about a fire gutting a building near First Street in Harare two weeks ago has come to pass.
This follows a mysterious fire that broke out in the security guardroom at the entrance of the High Court in Harare on Thursday.
Police confirmed the inferno saying it broke out after a security guard at the High Court left an electric heater turned on in a wooden guardroom and it exploded.
The fire, according to police spokesperson Charity Charamba, destroyed issue vouchers, files, two chairs, one table, two heaters, one steel cabinet, a telephone handset, cell phone, seven cases of soft drinks and a window to the deputy registrar’s office.
Magaya told the Daily News yesterday that he was glad that no-one was injured in the inferno after he and his congregation had prayed hard to avert disaster.
“I spoke about it recently and I am happy that there were no fatalities.
“We prayed for it when we were given the prophecy and God responded to our call. Glory to the Almighty,” he said. Magaya had told thousands of his congregants during a church service in Waterfalls that he had been shown a vision of a building catching fire and immediately asked his flock to pray hard so that there would be no deaths or injuries.
The celebrity preacher said the building, which he did not identify at the time, would be gutted by a mysterious fire.
“I have been getting this vision for some time,” Magaya said.
“I see a fire, a fire that will destroy a building near First Street. May we all raise our hands in prayer so that danger will be averted so that there will be no deaths, no injuries,” he added to thunderous applause from his church faithful.
The prophecy comes less than a week after he predicted good fortunes for the economy this year. In his New Year message delivered on the eve of 2015, Magaya said the country would experience an economic boom as more minerals would be discovered.
“So there shall be ways of discovering Africa, for instance I see new minerals being discovered in Africa…I am saying we have reached a point whereby you are going to be fruitful rather than going down as the previous years, but in 2015 the world is going to recognise Africa more and Zimbabwe in particular,” Magaya said.
