Harare, Zimbabwe | An elderly woman has just dropped a bombshell revelation about Miracle Paul, the so-called “miracle prophet” beloved by thousands, as nothing more than a fraud.
According to the woman, Paul is paying people off to stage miraculous healings, offering them money and groceries in exchange for faked testimonies.
An investigative journey takes viewers into the heart of a religious community that has long held Miracle Paul in high esteem. Paul’s rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. His charismatic sermons and supposedly supernatural ability to heal the sick and perform wonders have garnered him a devoted following.
His name has become synonymous with faith, hope, and divine intervention. But this documentary aims to strip away the veil of faith that has enveloped him, exposing a darker truth.
The interview opens with the elderly woman, who has been attending Miracle Paul’s services, speaking candidly about her experiences. She describes how, over time, she began to notice certain inconsistencies in the supposed miracles Paul performed. At first, she brushed them off as coincidences. But when she was personally approached by Paul’s team with an offer of money and groceries in exchange for a testimony, she became suspicious.
“I was in shock when they asked me,” she recalls. “They said, ‘We’ll pay you for your testimony. Just say that you were healed.’ At first, I thought it was a joke, but when I saw that they were serious, I realized this wasn’t about faith anymore. It was all about manipulation.”
According to the whistleblower, this practice is not an isolated incident. She claims that dozens of others, particularly those from vulnerable backgrounds, have been approached with similar offers. Some, she says, were too desperate to turn down the offer, taking the money and agreeing to be part of Paul’s staged miracle events.
Several other former congregants who were either paid or promised incentives to fake testimonies. One of them, a middle-aged woman who worked as a nurse, recalls a specific incident where a woman, whose condition was well-known in the congregation, was asked to pretend she had been healed of a debilitating illness.
“It was heartbreaking. The woman wasn’t healed at all,” she explains. “But they had her dress up in new clothes and get up in front of the congregation. She was given a grocery and a small sum of money for doing it. I didn’t want to be part of it anymore.”
One of the most unsettling revelations in the documentary is the psychological manipulation at play. Several interviewees explain that Paul’s sermons often preyed on the most vulnerable members of his congregation, offering them false hope in exchange for financial support or personal loyalty.
“He tells us that if we believe enough, we will be healed,” one former congregant confides. “But the moment you start questioning him, he says your faith is weak. It’s all about control, making you feel like you have to trust him, or you’re not truly a believer.”
For many of the documentary’s interviewees, speaking out has not been easy. Some have faced backlash from friends and family who still follow Miracle Paul. Others, like the elderly whistleblower, fear for their safety and the repercussions of their testimony.
“I just want the truth to come out,” the elderly woman says with tears in her eyes. “I’ve seen too many people hurt. Too many people left broken, thinking they weren’t healed because they didn’t have enough faith. I want people to know the truth, no matter how hard it is to hear.”
Despite the overwhelming evidence presented in the documentary, the impact on Miracle Paul’s following is yet to be seen. His supporters continue to flock to his services, convinced that the miracles are real, and many have expressed disbelief at the allegations. Some argue that the testimonies from former congregants are simply the result of disgruntled individuals who are trying to destroy Paul’s reputation.
While the documentary raises questions about Miracle Paul, it also opens a broader discussion about the power of faith-based organizations and the potential for exploitation. In a world where people are searching for meaning, guidance, and hope, the line between genuine belief and manipulation can sometimes become blurred.
This case serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us to be vigilant about the individuals and organizations we place our trust in.
