The Bishop and his fishing rod

TRUE to the word of the Almighty, as it is written in the Holy Bible, church leaders, just like Jesus’ disciples, are fishers of men, so is it with the good bishop of ours.

In his line of work as a bishop, the man of God has done quite well.

After forming his own church, luring a good number of congregants, though mostly of the fairer sex, today his ministry is relatively flourishing mainly here in Mutare.

No, Blabber will not talk about his perceived wicked ways. After all, it is not the subject of this insertion.

Instead, Yours Truly has it on good authority that our cunning bishop has taken his fishing skills to another level. Being a known investor in real estate and owning a number of buildings in the city, the bishop is now employing his fishing proficiency in fishing his next door neighbour’s tenants.

Word reaching Yours Truly is that the good bishop has given one of his next door neighbours a torrid time as most of the tenants from next door are packing their belongings to the bishop’s building.

An electrical accessories company, a medical practitioner’s business, the list of those who have crossed to the next building is ballooning with each passing day. The development, I am told, also has much to do with the exorbitant rentals that the bishop’s pompous next door neighbour is charging for space in his building. Only if the bishop had space for a watering hole maybe that popular discoteca next door would relocate next door, too!

Blabber remains curious to see what will come of this bitter scramble for tenants between the bishop and this pompous businessman.

What is this that we hear about this church leader who was humiliated on the podium last Sunday during a service in this high density suburb whose name has water connotations.

The embarrassing incident occurred at church known for its unity at a parish whose name has something to do with miracles.

Yours Truly is informed that the male church leader got more than what he bargained for when a fellow church member stormed the church service and went straight to the podium where the church leader was addressing the congregation.

The unexpected intruder demanded to know why the church leader had the tenacity to masquerade as holier than thou before the congregation when he is having quality time with his wife. It took the intervention of the church pastor to restore order in the church.

Shame on these church leaders who can hardly walk their word!
