A Zimbabwean prophet who claimed divine insight helped him win at casinos has been banned after winning $30,000 at a local outlet.
Prophet Archbishop Emmanuel
Mutumwa, leader of the Johanne Masowe eChishanu Apostolic Sect, said his win is
the largest ever recorded at the casino.
“This is the biggest win ever
recorded at the casino. I broke the previous record by almost double, and it
was the biggest jackpot won on the site this year,” Mutumwa said. “My
celebrations were cut short, however, because I have been banned by other casinos
for winning too much. They claim that since I am a prophet, I am receiving
visions from God about the winning numbers. They fear they will go bankrupt
because I will win too often.”
Mutumwa defended his winnings,
explaining that he used the money to pay school fees for church members and to
provide start-up funds for their businesses. He also spoke in defense of
gambling.
“God works in mysterious ways.
This win wasn’t about luck, but a test of faith. I prayed for guidance, and the
Lord provided the numbers through a vision. Isn’t it a blessing to use these
winnings to uplift my congregation? Gambling, when done responsibly, can be a
source of good fortune that can be channeled towards helping others,” Mutumwa
said. “Many people also come to me for spiritual guidance on winning lottery
games, at casinos, or when placing bets. Interestingly, many of them have
reported winning much more frequently since seeking my guidance.”
A manager at a local casino
confirmed that betting establishments typically restrict or close accounts of
those who win consistently. This policy aims to protect the financial stability
of the casinos.
