President Edgar Lungu has called on the church to vigorously go deeper into prayers and ensure peace continues to prevail in the country.
The Head of State says the church should also pray for politicians, for peace, love and unity to triumph in the nation.
President Lungu appealed to the church when he attended mass at Chilenga 2, Baptist Union Church in Masaiti district, this morning.
“The church should pray hard especially for politicians for peace and unity to prevail especially as we go into 2021,” the Head of State emphasised.
And Copperbelt Province Minister, Japhen Mwakalombe said the provincial administration will continue to work with the church to foster development in the province.
“The Church should hold hands with my office on October 18th, 2020, to petition God on several matters affecting the province and the nation as a whole,” Mr Mwakalombe stated.
Meanwhile, Masaiti Member of Parliament, Michael Katambo said members of Parliament will abide by the presidential call on parliamentarians to closely work with the churches.
“For the first time, the people of Masaiti constituency have seen light shining upon them for the many problems they encounter, “Mr Katambo stated, referring to the presence of the Head of State in the community.
And speaking earlier, Chilenga 2 congregation Pastor in charge, Ricky Katontoka emphasised the need to embrace unity among leaders as Jesus did to his Apostles.
“As Zambians we should not forget who we are by taking advantage of the long standing record of peace we are known for, adding that unless we are united, God will not command a blessing on all the challenges the nation is grappling with,” Pastor Katontoka narrated.
He said as Christians, Zambians should learn to humble themselves before their leaders because God loves those that are humble.
“Zambia will continue being a Christian nation which other countries have endeavored to emulate for many years,” he blessed.
Go deeper into slumber. It is not funny anymore guys. We are in the 21st Century now.
Exodus 20:7 says: “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
President Lungu calls on the church to vigorously go deeper into prayers and ensure peace continues to prevail as PF continues to steal and overcharge their own country through infrastructure and road constructions.
Disaster!!!
While you send your cadres to attack the opposition and arest some of them like Mucheleka and friends. What a shame of a president!
Mwanks at best
Amen my president. There is always that one party which shuns national prayers every where. Unsurprisingly, the same party continues to lose elections. When God says no to evil, no man can change God’s will. Amen
The devil is trying to preach here but I say this to you;
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” Mathew 7:21(KJV
“You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?” Mathew 7:16(ESV)
Why more deeper vigorous prayers? Is lungu sensing evil growing within himself?. Does lungu want to commit that evil then later blame the church for not over praying?
Kaizer please take your rightful place – contest in 2021
Go deeper into prayers. But we have been praying and praying as a Christian nation from 1991 and after 19 years we have nothing to show for it? Guys lets just adopt Communism or Capitalism for practical progress. You cant pray forever! Which nation has prayed and has had their fortunes changed? We want to continue with fake experiments?
From 1991 we have been a Christian nation. How deep can we be asked to go? I think Lets ask our ancestors more deeply not the Israeli ancestors. They may not want to respond to us because that would mean forsaking their subjects. Wake up Africa
Zambians are still suffering from mental slavery otherwise they should have been asking their leader hard searching questions why he is double dealing! You can’t be a Catholic and a Pentecostal at the same time. Christianity is not about going to church! You shall know them by their fruits! Not everyone who says LORD LORD is right with God (Matthew 7:21-22).
Moreover, not all Zambians are Christians. We must be accommodating to other Faiths!
Since his international travel has been cut due to Covid, he has now gone into full gear campaigning locally. He is doing what he has instructed the Police not to do, not to allow opposition to assemble. He can’t see heaven, impossible, he cant
