    "My prosperity is an inspiration for my followers," says Shepherd Bushiri, the "miracle-working" millionaire pastor who divides opinion into two camps - those he think he is God's messenger and those who think he's a conmanhttp://bbc.in/2tfZG8h

        Until Africans reject charlatans like Shepherd Bushiri, they will be condemned to poverty while the false prophets get insanely wealthy at their expense!

        I am sure, you have been fooled previously by the wrong. Strongly recommending you to take your time search and learn about how he works. He has platforms for those who keen to become successful in life too. He is not charlatan as you think. Do your homework

        What did he exactly do to be prosperous? Surely, preaching bible shouldn't supposed to be source of wealth.

        You even call yourself son of Major1 possible you are older than Bushiri but you so hypnotized you can't even make sense of yourself. New International Version You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

        Jesus had 13 disciplines including Matthias, none of them ever called themselves his sons nor did he refer them to his children. They were all equal as the Ministry was clear and that of salvation. Nina senizo boza lentwaana uBushiri ngoPapa, ni qede nimuphe nemali zenu.

        Any millionaire pastor is a conman and those who follow him gullible fools.
