Daily Sun (August 31 2014) - WHEN more of his cars were wrecked, Pastor Wilfred knew the devil was back. On Friday he barely missed being killed when a wall crushed his Mazda 6 and Opel Corsa. HE BELIEVES THE ONLY THING STANDING BETWEEN HIM AND SATAN IS THE POWER OF PRAYER!
"Seven of my cars have been damaged or stolen in just the last 14 months," Pastor Wilfred Zilawo, from Yeoville in Joburg, told Daily Sun.
- In June last year, Pastor Wildfred's Honda was stolen.
- The same month, someone drove into his new VW Polo while it was parked. In September his new Toyota 4x4 double-cab was stolen at the cop shop where Wilfred was identifying a church member who died when the church's Toyota Quantum overturned.
- Late last year his Mazda 3 was destroyed in an accident.
- Last month thugs stole his Toyota Tazz.
- And then Wilfred's Mazda 6 and Opel Corsa were crushed by a high wall at his house on Friday.
"The wall fell on my cars only a minute before I was supposed to drive my kids to school and my wife to work.
"I had just put my bags in the car and went back into the house to help my kids when I heard a loud bang that shook the house.
"When I went out I saw my cars buried under the rubble. "Obviously the devil wants to kill me and my family, but my prayers save us every time," he said.
The United Pentecostal Church pastor quotes Bible verses whenever something bad happens.
He said Job 14:7 is relevant to his life. It reads: "At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail."
Pastor Wilfred also quotes Isaiah 54:17, which says: "No weapon formed against you shall prosper."
He told the People's Paper that he will survive. "I know the devil will be defeated and I will keep on praying to God to give me strength," Wilfred said.
