Makandiwa Clarifies $1 Million Prophetic Challenge, Lays Down Strict Rules
Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa has responded to the ongoing social media storm surrounding his controversial $1 million prophetic challenge, emphasizing that the initiative is not a game but a serious spiritual exercise meant to test accuracy in prophecy.
In a YouTube live broadcast on his official channel, which was viewed by over 14,000 people, the United Family International Church (UFIC) leader laid out the participation rules and addressed the reasons behind his bold move.
Makandiwa stressed that only registered participants would be eligible to take part in the challenge, with the registration process closing on Saturday. He announced that all interested prophets and traditional healers must register via WhatsApp at +263780086159. On the day of the challenge, participants must follow these steps:
- Use the main entrance, where they will be received.
- Introduce themselves by name and present their identity card, confirming their registration.
- Accurately identify the concealed object in his pocket to prove their prophetic ability.
Addressing widespread speculation, Makandiwa explained that the challenge is not about money but about testing the authenticity of prophetic precision. He recalled a past experience where he had given people an opportunity to exorcise any spirit he may have had, but no one came forward. However, this time, he introduced a financial incentive, which he believes has significantly increased interest.
“It is not about money at all,” he stated. “This is an experiment to save lives and expose falsehoods. Churches have focused too much on theory and neglected practicals. This exercise will open hearts, rebuke spirits, and expose rituals.”
Makandiwa emphasized that his challenge is not meant to prove the non-existence of prophets but rather to test their claimed level of accuracy. “The issue is that no prophet sees everything. If someone claims to have 100% precision, this is their opportunity to prove it.”
Makandiwa questioned the blind faith many people have in prophets and witch doctors. “If a prophet or witch doctor cannot be 100% accurate, they do not deserve 100% trust from their followers.”
He openly admitted that he himself is not 100% accurate and questioned why people would fully commit to any prophet. “If I were to participate, I know I would miss because no one sees everything.”
The challenge has sparked a flurry of reactions online, with many terming it the “Prophets Cup Clash.” While some have applauded Makandiwa’s move, seeing it as a way to separate genuine spiritual figures from frauds, others have criticized it as a publicity stunt or a way to stir controversy.
Makandiwa, however, remains firm in his stance. “This is not a circus. I will not tolerate time-wasters. If someone correctly identifies what I have in my pocket, I will befriend that person and make them my personal prophet because who wouldn’t want that?”
