The Association of Apostolic Churches of Zimbabwe (AACZ) president Archbishop Tsungai Vushe has urged members of the Apostolic churches who were reportedly seen in some plains across the country congregating and seeking prayers from their leaders that it is illegal to do so, The Sunday News reports.
According to the publication, Vushe urged those seeking prayers from their leaders to first get tested before doing so and said:
My advice to members and to those who approach our members seeking prayers is that they should get tested of Covid-19 first. This pandemic kills and people should adhere to the set guidelines as pronounced by the Government.
Let me also hasten to say Covid-19 pandemic is there and it kills. God helps those who help themselves, believing and listening is what made Abraham be a favourite of God.
I want to call on all Christians in Zimbabwe regardless of the denomination to follow the guidelines of lockdown which were put in place by the Government and stop all gatherings because coronavirus can kill us all even if we are wearing church garments.
This comes after photos of Vapostora congregating in some areas in Zimbabwe including Harare circulated on social media despite the government’s directive prohibiting congregations.
