Mujaya deferred the judgement to January 31.
Gumbura, who was arrested in October last year, has pleaded not guilty to the charges saying that he had consensual sex with the women.
In his defence, he said that the charges against him were the work of his adversaries, citing Spoken Word Ministries founder, Godwin Chitsinde as one such person.
However, Chitsinde denied the allegations in court.
It is the State's case that Gumbura would force the women to have sex with him and subject them to spiritual fear if they turned down his requests.
This month, the Magistrates' Court made an inspection at the home of Gumbura where he is alleged to have raped the women.
The State, led by Jonathan Murombedzi, contended that Gumbura's residence had tight security which made it impossible for his victims to escape.
Murombedzi said this gave credence to evidence submitted by the victims that they could not escape due to the tight security.
Gumbura's residence has a security wall measuring three meters while the other side of his durawall measures 1,8 meters.
Murombedzi said that the court should consider as well that the victims were subjected to psychological and spiritual fear.
However, the defence counsel, led by Rekayi Maphosa, maintained that the security system could not have prevented the rape victims from escaping and that some gates at the house of Gumbura were usually open during the day.
Maphosa further argued that about 200 people would gather at the accused person's residence daily and it was not possible for him to rape the women in the presence of such a huge crowd.
