A storm is brewing following reports that Bulawayo-based self-styled prophet, Mduduzi Dube popularly known as Black Elisha is charging between US$100 and US$150 in consultation fees for anyone needing one-on-one sessions with him.
According to a report by the B Metro tabloid newspaper, Dube who leads the Christ Life Generation Church said the money was needed to make him look presentable and to help develop the church.
“Some people can only cope with being broke, they can’t manage with being blessed,” Dube told the paper.
“This is because if I bless you, after those consultations or one on one sessions your life will change immediately.
“Life is a battleground and if you don’t create a strong atmosphere of prayers through one on one sessions with a man of God, you can’t access certain blessings because the kingdom of darkness is also interested in making those blessings not to get to you.
“It’s just like asking why some people are patronising expensive restaurants. One of the reasons is the level of services being offered by those restaurants.
“From having bread crumbs dusted off the table to be able to signal the staff with silverware placement to the staff’s knowledge of the dishes.
“Presentation and the atmosphere are also some of the reasons. From how the table is set to how the food is placed on the plates. It displays a level of pride and attention to detail.
“Likewise, as a true man of God who is blessing and healing people, I should not look wretched as you will take me as a bogus prophet or not have faith in my work.
“That money from the consultation fees is used to help develop the church and some is used to preach the word of God and testify His goodness.
Last year, another Bulawayo-based self-proclaimed prophet Bruce Edwards (real name Bruce Ncube), founder of Kingdom Empowerment Centre Church (KEC) also sparked debate after it emerged that he was allegedly demanding a US$20 consultation fee for an audience with him.
Ncube was also reportedly taking US$6 for a seat from congregants who wanted to attend his lunch-hour services.
That is not a problem. Isn’t it those who consult him choose to do so on their own will.
Godfrey Viki tell them
Godfrey Viki exactly 💯
Perfectly said loud n clear!!!!
Godfrey Viki where does God’s Word fit into all this??? Charging is a worldly agenda: NOT that of Christ Jesus: if someone felt they wanted to give a donation then that would be their choice. No! Sorry but charging does not belong in the true Church of Jesus Christ
Nanette Allmark He speaks for God, you speak for God and all other men of God speak for God!
They all have their different prices. I’m not justifying his price but merely stating that it is by choice to consult him. I’m not going to consult him, that’s my choice.

2 Corinthians 2:17 says the Word of God shall not be peddled for $
Godfrey Viki truth
What storm? They go there willingly!
Is very good
Is he forcing pple to consult him?
Noone is being forced, so what’s the issue?
Is he forcing anyone to pay that?
That’s his business!
I wonder how much Nicodemus would have been charged for the one on one he had with the Lord Himself during the night (John 3v2) dai Jesu aida kutidzidzisa kubhadharisa
Marema ngaarohwe mari
Kune vachiri vakapusa kudaro here
Amanikidza munhu here
I am sure those paying are mature udults who do so on their own will without anyone forcing them to do so.😐
If Jesus and the early Apostles never charged anyone, then his is not the Spirit of Christ but spirit of devination at play. We freely received and we freely give. The gift of God can not be purchased with money
Nkosana Mabhena you can’t compare Jesus time and 2023 so much has changed, moreover it’s a willing buyer willing seller situation.

Victor Changara so much has changed but the Word of God is still the same. It is Jesus who said freely you have received and freely give. It is the early Apostles who said “the gift of God can’t be purchased with money”. If it’s of God it is motivated by love not greed.
Nkosana Mabhena if he ordered somewhere then he must put his mark up also,problem he wont tell you the source of his powers,he must come clean he is a sangoma not prophet
Naison Mutombeni true
Victor Changara Rubbish! God is the same yesterday today and tomorrow
I don’t see any problem with that. Any prophet has his way to survive. Same as Pastor Mboro who was charging a million to anyone who wants to see him standing next to Jesus and the same John standing next to the fish which swallowed him
Bhekumuzi Ncube well then he is a business man: NOT a prophet of God. 2 Corinthians 2:17
Wapusa wapusa

You name your price. Fair enough.
Well established company
What storm .go brew beer and leave Black Elisha alone.he did not knock at anyone’s house
Stan Chipoka then he is NOT of the true Church of Jesus Christ is he?
Nanette Allmark whatever he bases his claims on, all I know is that he is doing bsnss. Find the definition of *cult*
Stan Chipoka i well understand what cults are. Its a tragedy so many get wrapped up in all this
