False Teachers In Our Midst

By Dr Ernest Musekiwa

False Teachers in Our Midst: Discerning Truth in an Age of Spiritual Deception is a bold and compassionate call to the Church in Africa to return to biblical truth amid an age of counterfeit spirituality. Drawing deeply from Scripture and the African religious context, Ernest Musekiwa exposes the rise of false prophets, miracle merchants, and spiritual manipulators who have turned Christianity into a marketplace of power, wealth, and superstition.

The book traces how cultural syncretism-particularly the blending of African Traditional Religion with the Christian faith-has produced a hybrid religion that imitates the gospel but denies its core message of repentance, holiness, and grace. With a balance of pastoral care and theological precision, Musekiwa guides readers through biblical teachings on discernment, false prophecy, spiritual manipulation, and the failure of discipleship that has left many believers vulnerable.
Each chapter blends scriptural exposition with real-life insight from Zimbabwe and beyond, showing how believers can test every spirit, guard their hearts, and recognize truth amid deception. The author challenges pastors and leaders to rebuild doctrinal foundations, reform worship, and model humility and integrity in ministry.

The final chapters move from warning to hope, envisioning a reformed African Church that is Bible-saturated, Christ-centered, and Spirit-led. Musekiwa calls for a new generation of believers who will love truth more than miracles and character more than charisma.

Both prophetic and redemptive, False Teachers in Our Midst offers a way forward-a vision of authentic Christianity rooted in the authority of Scripture and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. It is a necessary guide for believers, pastors, and theological students seeking to discern truth and guard the faith in a continent where the line between the sacred and the sensational has grown dangerously thin.
