Pastors✝ Who Collect 💵Offerings Are Thieves!🔊: Reinhard Bonnke

​

Celebrated German evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, who is known for his great gospel crusades throughout Africa, has called out pastors who collect offerings from their congregants.

Although donating to missions or gospel crusades isn't wrong, some Pastors have abused their post and are demanding that people donate as a pre-condition for receiving a blessing from God.

Most of them have adapted to a more sophisticated - and super flamboyant - lifestyles and are giving politicians a run for their money. Well, evangelist Bonnke, who is among the few preachers who don't collect offerings during crusades, had this to say about rogue pastors: "Anyone who asks you to give offering for this crusade is a thief and should be reported immediately."

Chiwenga in Zanu-PF Purge Warning

Zimbabwe's army chief has warned those responsible for "purging" the country's ruling Zanu-PF party to stop, or the military will step in. The rare intervention comes just a week after President Robert Mugabe sacked his deputy Emmerson Mnangagwa.

General Constantino Chiwenga, who appeared at a news conference with another 90 senior army officers, did not refer to anyone by name.

Speaking at the army's headquarters, General Chiwenga said: "The current purging which is clearly targeting members of the party with a liberation background must stop forthwith. We must remind those behind the current treacherous shenanigans that when it comes to matters of protecting our revolution, the military will not hesitate to step in."

​Man Utd want me, confirms Argentine defender Enzo Diaz​

Manchester United have shown an interest in Argentine left-back Enzo Diaz, the player says, and he has a "dream" of representing Jose Mourinho's side.

The 21-year-old plays in the second tier in his homeland with Agropecuario, having broken into the first team this season.

After just six league appearances, the full-back, who can also play in the centre, has attracted interest from abroad and says that the Premier League side are already tracking him.

"I found out about it on Saturday morning, but later I did not talk to anyone other than my agent," he told ​Ataque Futbolero.​

"My agent told me that they were delighted and they were going to see me in a couple more games.

"It is the dream of any footballer [to play for Manchester United]."

Chelsea stars held Loftus-Cheek back - Southgate​

England manager Gareth Southgate believes Chelsea's senior stars have made an effort to prevent Ruben Loftus-Cheek from breaking into the first team at Stamford Bridge.

Loftus-Cheek was one of the star performers for England as they held world champions Germany to a 0-0 draw in a friendly on Friday.

The midfielder is on loan at Crystal Palace from Chelsea and Southgate feels his team-mates at his parent club have had an impact on his inability to break through.

"I've known Ruben a long time – I think the first time I saw him was an Under-16 international – I think Dele Alli played that night in his first game too," Southgate said.

"And when you see his physical size, you think you'll also see a certain type of player. Then I saw what you all saw against Germany – one that is so technically gifted.

"He's also been able to battle through difficult spells at Chelsea where he's been training with senior players who have recognised his talent and so they get to him in training.

"Have they kept him in his place? Yes. They probably saw the threat."

​Bechler: Neymar regrets signing for PSG​

Life in Paris is not exactly what Neymar expected and the forward is already beginning to regret his move to PSG, claims Marcelo Bechler.

Bechler is the Brazilian journalist who reported on his desire to leave Barcelona in the summer and he states that Neymar has already told some of his former Blaugrana teammates, such as Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez, that he wishes he hadn't moved to the French capital.

Speaking on Onda Cero's 'El Transistor' programme, Bechler also explained that the 25-year-old is struggling to win over the dressing room.

"There are a lot of high-ranking players in the dressing room, such as [Edinson] Cavani and [Angel] Di Maria, and they have found Neymar's behaviour in these first month strange," he said.

"The relationship between Neymar and [Unai] Emery is distant, as it is with some players.

"Yet PSG are clear that anybody else would have to leave before Neymar goes."

However, the player could move on one day in the future and Bechler suggested that a move to Real Madrid isn't impossible.

"Cristiano is better than Messi, yes," the Spaniard told _Globo Esporte _ahead of Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix.

"Messi has an incredible talent as well, but as a Real Madrid fan, only Real Madrid players interest me."
