Archbishop Emmanuel Mutumwa, who is the leader of Johanne Masowe eChishanu Apostolic Sect has been banned from betting in local casinos because of excess wins. His current win was about US$30,000 and these casino operators fear that they might go bankrupt if he continues gambling with them.
But the acclaimed prophet claim that he receives winning games from God through vision. He further stated that with his numerous wins, he has been able to pay school fees and start businesses for members of his religious organization. While other religious leaders perceive his actions as sinful, he thinks his wins are an avenue to be a blessing to the needy.
Do you think a religious leader should be involved in gambling? Do also accept his reason for engaging in gambling? Are these casinos right to ban him from gambling?
A prophet for gamblers to the nation? come on, we're all grown ups. Even if we're all gamblers here, we all want what's the best for everyone. And with this guy, he's going to drag people into gambling while preaching in his congregration. And just because he's making statements that said that most of his bets are being 'god'-told for him, many are going to believe him with that. To be honest, he shouldn't gamble and preach at the same time. Many of these souls are going to be lost and misled by him.
If it's about the casinos ban, I think that he deserved to get banned not just for winning but because of his profession.
