This follows claims that Prophet Angel enables congregants to “miraculously” receive money in their pockets and bank accounts.
Prophet Makandiwa is on record as saying he can assist people to amass material wealth.
“I respect the men of God, Angel and Makandiwa because of the miracles they are performing. But if they are printing real money, I am asking them to deposit the money in our (Treasury) account at CBZ so that we can pay some of our arrears,” said Minister Biti.
He said he would not comment on the implications of this “miracle money” to the United States Federal Reserve because it had not been officially confirmed that it was happening.
“I have no knowledge of that (miracle money) happening. I have never known it to happen, so I can’t comment on hearsay and speculation.
“However, on a lighter note, I want to tell these men of God that we have US$10,1 billion external debt and US$260 million local arrears. We also need US$200 million for the referendum. So if they are printing real money, I would be grateful if they can deposit it in our account so that we can settle these debts.”
It was reported that Prophet Angel delivered miracle money to congregants at the Botswana miracle night crusade recently and at the crossover night at City Sports Centre in Harare.
In one of his sermons on Youtube, Prophet Angel told congregants in South Africa that he started prophesying when he was in Grade two when he was seven-years-old.

Prophet Angel said money answered all problems as mentioned in the Bible.
He said people who criticised the miracles were poor, adding that poverty made people jealous.
However, leaders of other churches have questioned how this miracle money was being made.
Secretary-general for Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops Conference Father Fredrick Chiromba was quoted in the media as saying it was the duty of the State to regulate on financial matters and to consider whether the “miracle money” complied with financial systems of the country.
Apostle Patrick Zimba of Kairos International Ministries said money was owned by central banks all over the world and every note had a serial number.
He said it was not clear whether the ‘miracle money’ had serial numbers.
