Bushiri makes mockery of SA sovereignty

Prophet Shepherd Bushiri comes across as a false prophet, not a good shepherd of God who orders us to obey governments and not turn them into Mickey Mouse, says the writer.

“I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber”, John 10:1.

"Prophet" Shepherd Bushiri entered SA illegally the first time. After he was charged for fraud he re-entered the country as a fugitive four times, according to City Press.

In all those instances he was allegedly trying to convert unbelievers to Christianity – developing the body of Christ and shepherding the flock. He comes across as a false prophet, not a good shepherd of God who orders us to obey governments and not turn them into Mickey Mouse.

“The thief [enemy of our souls] does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy”, v.10. SA has long lost its sovereignty and has become a playing field for every Tom, Dick and Harry. What a shocking state of affairs! Have we become inured to this kind of public outrage?
