Zimbabwe will only achieve sustainable economic recovery
and growth if it imports machinery to boost production in agriculture, mining
and other sectors of the economy, instead of borrowing money, United Family
International Church founder Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa has said.
Giving a prophecy on the economy to thousands of people who
attended his church service in Harare yesterday, Prophet Makandiwa said the
economy would come right soon, but extending a begging bowl would not bring
solutions to current economic challenges.
“Don’t borrow money, borrow vessels (machinery),” he said.
“On your next trip, don’t borrow money, but vessels. You
think if you bring in $10 billion it will bring solutions? Even if you get $100
billion you will never be free.
“We have been allowed by God to borrow, but it is not
money. Also can’t you see that in the area of money there are so many
restrictions? Even before you leave the country they know you want to borrow
money.”
Much would be achieved and jobs created if machinery was
brought into the country to enhance production, he said, adding that Zimbabwe’s
neighbouring countries were replete with machinery and equipment that could
help transform the economy.
Zimbabwe has been on the offensive in search of lines of
credit to jump-start the economy, but such facilities have been long in coming.
Prophet Makandiwa said the stability on the foreign
exchange market witnessed over the last few days was not the move of man, but
the hand of God.
“I told you last Sunday not to panic,” he said.
“In the spirit, we also talk about money. We discuss
exchange rates.”
Exchange rates on the parallel market tumbled from about
600 percent to near parity overnight. This has brought stability to the
markets.
On yesterday’s prophecy and in reference to 2 Kings 4 where
Prophet Elisha asked a widow saddled with debt and about to lose her two sons,
to borrow vessels from her neighbours which were then filled with oil, Prophet
Makandiwa said, Zimbabwe had within it the trigger needed for transformation.
“We can then mix the machinery with our oil,” he said.
“I am not an economist, but I hear from God and I see.
Zimbabwe does not need money. There is a place in our economy and Jesus is
touching that. Stop crying, and stop complaining. Don’t be afraid, Jesus is
working out something for us. This is a passing storm.”
Prophet Makandiwa said God would never forsake Zimbabwe and
He would never leave it.
He said Zimbabwe already has money in the form of diamonds,
gold and oil.
“But what we define as money is not what others define as
money,” he said.
“Investors only come where there is money already and they
see it in our diamonds, gold, oil and other minerals.” Herald
