Pastor Sells Anointed Biros That Help Students Pass Exams without Reading

A pastor in Harare, Zimbabwe, has been fingered for commercializing many special, ‘anointed’ pens to native students. Prophet Sham Hungwe claims that the miracle pens can facilitate students pass exams even without reading!

“It is anointed and I declare passes when your children sit for exams; when you sit for exams,” he told members of the House of Grace International Church, in a sermon. And with the ‘O’ and ‘A’ level exams approaching, he was able to sell plenty of the 15-cent pens for various prices, starting from $1 to $20. The more you pay, the higher the possibilities to pass the exams.
Several believers hustle to secure the pens for themselves or their kids, particularly when one of the congregations testified that he scored fourteen points on his ‘A’ level last year with Prophet Sham’s special pen. The testimony boosted sales, with one lady paying over $10 for one pen.
“They are said to work for anyone who is sitting for any test,” one member said. “My son is not very bright and I think this will help him. With the knowledge he has acquired and this pen from the man of God, I think it is going to work.”
Prophet Sham’s stunt was severely criticized by native politicians and the media. A number of them even caught up his arrest, accusing him of destruction the quality of education within the city and mocking people’s non secular sentiments.
“Anointing cannot be commoditized because you can only set a price on it and put the Holy Spirit up for sale by making God cheap and finite,” journalist Stanley Mushava wrote.
 “This should not be allowed to go on,” added Chofamba Sithole. “Anyone who sells anything on the basis that it has supernatural powers must be arrested for fraud.”
